Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer-Chapter 235 - 234: Corpse Poison Engulfs All of Maoshan, Bring Out Every Elixir [Second Update]
Lin Heng was somewhat speechless. What kind of naive question is this?
Can the righteous and the demonic path really be determined by asking?
After a brief pause, Lin Heng cupped his hands and said, "I am Lin Heng from Qingfeng Temple. This Black Bear Spirit is the Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast of mine. Having heard that the Maoshan Corpse Fiend is about to emerge, I've come to assist. May I know who you are?"
Upon hearing these words, the girl and her companions breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She cupped her hands and said, "I am Zhang Shishi from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, having hastily rushed here upon receiving the news. By the way, are you also an Alchemist, Fellow Daoist?"
"Uh... yes." Lin Heng nodded, not quite understanding why the other party asked this.
Zhang Shishi didn't waste more words: "In that case, let's quickly head into Maoshan. If we delay any longer, the brothers and sisters of Maoshan may not hold out."
Having said this, she stopped speaking further, and, with a group of old men who seldom ventured out, disappeared from Lin Heng's sight using a Profound Mysterious Step Technique.
Lin Heng and the Black Bear Spirit had no hesitation, following each step methodically, diving headlong into the ripples.
The scene before their eyes instantly changed dramatically.
The sky was no longer overcast; instead, it was rolling with dark clouds.
Across the internal heaven and earth of the entire Maoshan, there was a faint mist of corpse energy.
"No, it's corpse poison?"
The Black Bear Spirit frowned.
Lin Heng nodded, his gaze fixed on the distance.
There stood the three palaces, six halls, and twelve peaks of Maoshan, and every peak bore the sound of intense struggling and howling.
It wasn't zombies.
It was the disciples of Maoshan.
"Even the depths have been forced out?"
Lin Heng shifted his gaze to another spot, where six elders exuding the aura of Immortal Platform were above a thousand-foot abyss, desperately forming the Taiyi Qingming Six Harmonies Grand Array to suppress the corpse poison constantly surging from the abyss.
"I wondered why those Alchemists from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, who usually remain reclusive, have rushed to Maoshan. They should be here to deliver Elixirs that counter the corpse poison!" The Black Bear Spirit realized belatedly.
"Let's help!"
Lin Heng decisively commanded, and the two transformed into beams of light, crossing the mountain gate, heading to the abyss where the Corpse Fiend was suppressed.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shishi and her group arrived at the Heaven-Reaching Peak.
By then, several elders were already waiting.
As soon as they saw Zhang Shishi and her companions, they immediately approached.
"Master uncles, how is the situation now?"
With urgency, Zhang Shishi forwent pleasantries and got straight to business.
The three elders of Maoshan quickly replied, "The corpse poison came too suddenly, almost instantly enveloping the three palaces, six halls, and twelve peaks. Besides the few of us who took Elixirs to avoid the corpse poison, the majority of the 7,200 disciples of Maoshan are already showing signs of zombification."
"What?"
Zhang Shishi and her companions were visibly shaken upon hearing this.
The faced elders wore bitter expressions: "Maoshan's Elixirs have always been scarce, and now the vast majority of the disciples can only suppress themselves using Corpse Suppression Talismans. Fellow Daoist Shishi, we must rely on you now!"
Zhang Shishi frowned, "All sects should support one another, but the stored Elixirs in the Celestial Master's Mansion for countering corpse poison are also limited. Even if we brought nearly all of them on this trip, there are barely over two hundred."
At this point, she asked, "Master uncles, is the Spirit Medicine Peak of Maoshan still abundant?"
The three elders were surprised, "You are going to... refine Elixirs on the spot?"
"Exactly." The usually reclusive Alchemists of Dragon and Tiger Mountain nodded in agreement.
Zhang Shishi said, "The situation is sudden; this is the only way."
The three elders were momentarily stunned, then sighed, "It seems there indeed is no other way."
"Then please, Fellow Daoists, let's ascend to the Spirit Medicine Peak together."
Upon saying this, the group quickly flew towards the Spirit Medicine Peak.
...
"Oh my, they've all been poisoned with corpse poison?"
At this moment, the Black Bear Spirit, who accompanied Lin Heng to the Abyss Corpse Suppression Site, was looking down on the Maoshan disciples at each peak with concern.
Everywhere they looked.
A scene of painful wailing prevailed.
Some were on the verge of zombification, growling as they opened their mouths.
The once upright and righteous Maoshan was now a scene of walking corpses.
Lin Heng's expression was complex, his aura covering the entire Maoshan, witnessing countless disciples of Maoshan suppressing themselves with talismans.
Those who realized the Corpse Suppression Talismans were useless chose to use Upper Qing Fire Talismans and burn their bodies instead.
The sight and scene filled Lin Heng with mixed emotions.
Earlier, he had quite a bit of resentment towards the Five Great Daoist Sacred Lands.
Simply because, with Daoism declining outside, being oppressed in various ways by the Buddhist Sect, the Five Great Daoist Sacred Lands never stepped up to protect the Daoist disciples.
But now, he truly understood the valiant solemnity of the Holy Lands.
At this moment, even though the corpse poison had already engulfed the entire Maoshan.
To prevent it from spreading to the outside world, the disciples of Maoshan, even amidst destruction, did not open the mountain gate to flee.
This scenario truly made Lin Heng understand the great righteousness of Daoism.
Even if the world doesn't know the truth, so what?
Walking the righteous path, fearing no future.
Even if a million stand in the way, I shall go forth!
"Boss, what should we do?"
The Black Bear Spirit, now considering itself a part of Daoism after following Lin Heng for so long, asked with concern.
"I'll go see the situation at the Corpse Fiend site first. You head to that peak and deliver all the Elixirs collected from Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple to them."
"They will be able to identify which are for countering the corpse poison."
Lin Heng pointed to the Spirit Medicine Peak, where the group of Alchemists from Dragon and Tiger Mountain had already gathered.
"Got it!"
The Black Bear Spirit readily agreed, transforming into a stream of light, and descended upon the Spirit Medicine Peak.
The Black Bear Spirit was now a truly Great Power Level Demon King.
Its aura was incredibly strong.
Upon arrival, the elders of Maoshan felt alarmed.
"It's you?"
"Where is that Fellow Daoist?"
Zhang Shishi furrowed her brow and asked.
"The boss went to the place where the Corpse Fiend is suppressed. He told me to bring all the Elixirs over so you can identify which ones can counter the corpse poison."
The Black Bear Spirit responded while continuously taking out Elixirs confiscated from Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple from the Space Ring.
Everyone expected at most ten or a hundred bottles.
But unexpectedly, the Black Bear Spirit kept taking out stacks of Elixir bottles as if pouring beans.
Directly forming a mountain on the Spirit Medicine Peak.
"Hiss..."
This scene left the elders of Maoshan stunned.
Even Zhang Shishi and the Alchemists from Dragon and Tiger Mountain widened their eyes.
"May I ask, Bear King, which Holy Land is your Daoist from?" an elder inquired.
"From Qingfeng Temple."
Before the Black Bear Spirit could reply, Zhang Shishi had already spoken, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt: "Elders of Maoshan, do you know which Daoist lineage Qingfeng Temple belongs to?"
"This..."
The elders exchanged glances, a bit embarrassed: "We've never heard of Qingfeng Temple, but since they can produce so many Elixirs, they must be a massive Daoist sanctuary..."
The Black Bear Spirit straightforwardly added: "Alright, stop guessing."
"These Elixirs are from Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple. Our Qingfeng Temple doesn't produce such garbage."
???
Upon hearing this, the Daoists present were collectively bewildered.
"Jinshan Temple and Lingyin Temple???"
