Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 73
Chapter 73: Jindan Stage Methods
“Fellow Daoist, don’t be impulsive. If you have any requests, you can make them.” With a hostage in hand, the Nascent Soul cultivator didn’t dare to take action.
“I’m Qin Luan’s friend, Huang Li! I heard that your Long family wants to harm him. I don’t have any special abilities, but I’m not afraid of death. Anyone who dares to bully my friends will be killed!” Jiang Li looked ferocious, and anyone could tell that he was a desperate man.
The Nascent Soul cultivator cursed inwardly. This man’s golden core was obviously full, and his elixir had reached the upper third grade. How could such a person not care about his life!
But he didn’t dare to gamble, so he could only let Jiang Li make the conditions.
“You must compensate my brother Qin Luan with ten high-grade spirit stones!”
“Ten?! Impossible!” The Nascent Soul cultivator rejected the offer outright, not afraid of Jiang Li’s murder.
Jiang Li laughed and said, “You aristocratic families all give your juniors a death talisman, but a death talisman can replace death, not injury.”
Jiang Li gently broke one of Long Sanshui’s fingers. The pampered Long Sanshui had never experienced such pain before, and tears immediately flowed as he burst into tears.
No one present felt pity for Long Sanshui, but rather felt relieved. Long Sanshui had committed countless evil deeds, harming countless decent women and forcing countless families to break up. Today, he finally got his comeuppance.
He deserved it!
Seeing the severed finger dangling unsightly, Jiang Li took out a dagger and cut it off for aesthetic reasons.
Jiang Li said considerately, “Does this Yuanying True Person think the Third Young Master of the Long Family isn’t worth so much? Look, he’s disabled now, so I only want nine high-grade spirit stones.”
“If you still think that’s too much, look at the Third Young Master, he still has nine fingers and ten toes,” Jiang Li said proudly, “True Person, how many spirit stones do you want to pay? Five high-grade spirit stones? Or one?”
“If you have a grudge against the Long Family, just tell me, and I’ll avenge you. I guarantee that every finger and toe of the Third Young Master Long will be spared!”
The Yuanying Priest thought to himself, “It’s not me who has a grudge against the Long Family, it’s you who has a grudge against me!
” “Go ahead! It’s just ten high-grade spirit stones! Give it to him!” Long Sanshui exclaimed angrily, thinking the priest his father had sent him was useless. He hesitated and caused him to lose a finger. When he returned, he would have the ancestor kill him!
Stupid! This Huang Li was clearly asking for an exorbitant price. If he agreed to such an outrageous request, he would make more!
It’s just a broken finger, it can grow back with just one pill, why are you crying out in pain!
“Alright! Here are ten high-grade spirit stones!” The Nascent Soul Priest dropped the bag of spirit stones on the ground, hoping Jiang Li would bend down to pick it up.
Jiang Li didn’t even bother looking at it, continuing, “You must swear to Heaven not to attack us. Let us leave the city.”
Long Sanshui and the Nascent Soul Priest sneered inwardly. “Not to attack you?” We’ve already put a bounty on your head in the Tiansha Pavilion. Let’s see how long you can last!”
But outwardly, they both kept their oaths.
Jiang Li picked up the bag of spirit stones, confirming that it contained ten high-grade spirit stones, before letting Long Sanshui go.
Long Sanshui hid behind the Priest, glaring at Jiang Li with resentment.
Jiang Li, oblivious, reunited with Qin Luan and Song Ying in the distance.
“This… you can leave now?” Qin Luan was startled by Jiang Li’s actions. He hadn’t expected such extreme v*olence.
Song Ying hadn’t expected the Kyushu Guardian to have such a vicious side.
“I did quite a bit of this back when I was in the Jindan stage, but I only stopped doing it after growing stronger over the past few hundred years,” Jiang Li explained with a smile, feeling no shame in his past.
“It’s not over yet. The Long family still hasn’t been dealt with.”
Jiang Li led the two to the City Lord’s Mansion, took out the bag of spirit stones he had just acquired and a letter, and handed them to the guards, asking them to deliver the letter to the City Lord. As for the spirit stones, Jiang Li said nothing, and the guards knew what he was talking about.
The guards each took a high-grade spirit stone, and the rest were to be given to the steward, who then gave the letter to the City Lord.
“Aren’t you worried they’ll just take the spirit stones and not do anything?” Song Ying asked. Jiang Li’s actions would be unacceptable in the Great Zhou.
“I took out the top-grade spirit stones, which shows that I have a certain status and can get in touch with the upper class. If I happen to meet the steward of the City Lord’s Mansion and talk about this, the steward will make things difficult for these two people because he didn’t get the spirit stones. They dare not gamble, and there is no need to gamble.”
“The guard is just greedy, not stupid.”
“Then what did you say in the letter?”
Jiang Li took out a dagger: “It is poisonous. It is not fatal, but it is very uncomfortable. It penetrates deep into the meridians, like maggots in the tarsal bones, making people itchy all over. They scratch their skin without knowing it. However, it can only target those below the Foundation Establishment Stage, and anyone with a solid foundation can clear it out by themselves.”
Seeing that Qin Luan and Song Ying became nervous when they heard about this poison, Jiang Li added a sentence at the end to tell them not to be afraid.
“If you want to detoxify, pills won’t work. You can only use your spiritual sense to scan the body and remove it bit by bit. And the Yuanying stage’s spiritual sense can’t be accurate enough, so only the Huashen stage can take action.”
“Will the Long family’s ancestors really take care of such a thing?” Song Ying didn’t understand why Jiang Li was so sure. After all, they had a quarrel with the Long family that neither of them could get out of it, but the Long family’s ancestors didn’t intervene.
“Three young masters of the Long family, have you ever heard that the eldest and second sons often bully boys and girls?”
“It is said that they rarely do it.”
“They are busy cultivating and don’t have time for such things. Long Sanshui is the youngest son, indulged by his parents, which is why he is lawless. As the patriarch, seeing his son in pain and kowtowing until he bleeds, it is normal for the father to ask the ancestors to intervene, right?” Jiang Li said as a matter of course.
“To cure this poison at the Spirit Transformation stage, one needs to devote all his energy and attention. There can’t be any interruptions, otherwise it’s easy for the poison to backfire, but it will recover quickly.”
“So I told the city lord in the letter, asking him to find a way to disturb the Long family ancestor, seize the opportunity of the backlash, and kill the Long family ancestor.”
“Will the city lord really do that?” Song Ying asked.
“I put a little poison in the envelope, and we’ll know if it’s real or not.”
“As a city lord at the Spirit Transformation stage, he should be able to call the shots in this city, but the Long family is here, making him feel like he has a thorn in his throat. There’s no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there’s no room for two people in the Spirit Transformation stage. If I give him a chance to shout at the Long family ancestor while he’s healing, even if I deceive him, he won’t lose anything.”
“It’s a sure-win deal, there’s no reason not to do it.”
“Although this poison has an incubation period of more than ten days, Long Sanshui will take effect prematurely. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll see two Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivators fighting tonight.”
Qin Luan’s heart skipped a beat, and he continued, “Because he’ll be taking blood-activating elixirs to regenerate severed limbs, causing the poison to take effect prematurely?”
“That was a clever move.”
Jiang Li led Qin Luan and Song Ying to a restaurant with the best view, and had Yuan Wuxing show up as well, ready to watch the show. A
rough roar echoed throughout Longyin City.
“Old Dragon Head, please forgive my intrusive visit so late at night!”
At the same time, the assassin from Tiansha Pavilion circled behind the four people.
Thanks to the monthly ticket support from the book friend “Seemingly Clear and Hazy”.
