I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 203 - 175: Kindred

Again??

Jiang Yuebai was furious. Before, she was afraid of being spat on with yellow phlegm, but now she was already reeking; what’s there to be afraid of anymore!

A ring of fire spread from her body, crushing toward Tai Sui.

This time, Tai Sui was quite alert and prepared, suddenly changing direction in mid-air and flashing ghostly toward Jiang Yuebai.

Little Green was shocked, the entire lantern crashed into Tai Sui, but it was swung away by Tai Sui’s fleshy arm, completely outclassed in strength.

Jiang Yuebai swung a chain to whip Tai Sui, but Tai Sui was incredibly fast. Her vision blurred as she was teased with a feint, and when she tried to retreat, she inexplicably slipped on the slime below and felt a stinging pain on her calf.

Tai Sui bit her leg hard, and whatever it sensed in her blood made it suddenly release her, spitting repeatedly on the ground beside it.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Yuebai firmly shook the chain in her hand, the two leaves in her Sea of Consciousness frantically stirring her Divine Sense.

Crack!

Rust on the chain shattered, emitting golden light, breaking segment by segment, transforming under Jiang Yuebai’s control into golden rings, showering down on Tai Sui like a storm of pear blossoms.

The shopkeeper Luoo Wan had told her when she took this chain from the Mountain and Sea Building, that it was a Buddhist Sect Magic Treasure, with each segment engraved with the Demon Suppressing Scripture.

After being repaired, only sixty percent of the scripture remained, equivalent to a Sixth-Grade Magic Treasure, but if she could find a high monk to restore it completely, its power would greatly increase.

Unaware that the Demon Suppressing Golden Ring’s power was diminished, Tai Sui panicked and dodged, its whole body suddenly twitching as if electrocuted, encircled by the rapidly expanding rings.

The Demon Suppressing Golden Ring tightened forcefully!

Ugh!

Tai Sui’s plump belly was squeezed into layers of folds, as it struggled and rolled.

The Demon Suppressing Golden Ring hummed and vibrated, golden light on the verge of breaking.

Jiang Yuebai quickly took out a Jade Pivot Thunder Pearl, ready to throw it.

"Wait! Immortal Ganoderma Clan members must not kill each other!"

Feeling the dangerous aura on the Jade Pivot Thunder Pearl, Tai Sui suddenly spoke, and it was in Xue Liuzhi’s voice.

A face emerged from beneath Tai Sui’s belly, shockingly it was Xue Liuzhi.

Tai Sui couldn’t speak; did it swallow Xue Liuzhi, using his body to speak?

"If I had known you were Cloud Mushroom Grass, I wouldn’t have bitten you, dammit!"

Xue Liuzhi’s face, Xue Liuzhi’s voice, speaking in a childish tone, made Jiang Yuebai shiver with disgust.

Jiang Yuebai clenched the Jade Pivot Thunder Pearl tightly and curiously asked, "What do you mean?"

Tai Sui glared at her, "Are all you Little Grass Demons this disrespectful to seniors now? Have you forgotten the ancestral teachings? The Immortal Ganoderma Clan’s bloodline has the power of purification and restoration beyond the heavens. Back then, I allowed myself to be captured to save the entire Immortal Ganoderma Clan!"

"Though I’ve been reversed into the filthiest Tai Sui in the world, I’m still an Immortal Ganoderma! The Immortal Ganoderma bloodline is medicine to others, poison to the same kind. Seeing you use fire, I thought you were human. I never expected you to have such a strong Cloud Mushroom Grass bloodline, how peculiar!"

Jiang Yuebai suddenly understood and asked, "Then... since we’re of the same kind, being sprayed all over by you, will I still be plagued by bad luck?"

Tai Sui, encircled by golden rings, sat up, "Let me go and I’ll help you dispel this bad luck!"

Jiang Yuebai was half-convinced, but finally she wiggled her finger, letting the Demon Suppressing Golden Rings fly up and reform into a chain, leaving just a small one around Tai Sui’s neck.

Tai Sui: ......

Jiang Yuebai ’ouch’ed and fell, "Lord Tai Sui, please calm down; I’m plagued by bad luck, my Spiritual Energy is in disorder, and I truly have no strength left."

"You crafty Little Grass Demon!"

Tai Sui puffed up its belly, the face of Xue Liuzhi opened its mouth wide and inhaled deeply, and wisps of black energy immediately oozed from Jiang Yuebai’s body, all of which were swallowed by Tai Sui.

Jiang Yuebai felt light all over, her disordered Spiritual Energy flowed smoothly again, and the whole world seemed much brighter.

"Little Grass Demon, the Immortal Ganoderma Clan has declined for a long time. Though your bloodline is not pure, you’ve practiced the ’Little Thousand Leaves Hand’ quite well. Inside my body, you will find the ’Immortal Grass Scripture’. You must cultivate it properly; it’s the most ancient and orthodox cultivation technique of our Immortal Ganoderma Clan."

"Once you’ve purified your bloodline and become a true Immortal Spirit Grass, you must remember to revive the Immortal Ganoderma Clan. When that time comes, I’ll credit you for this merit! Since you’re mingling among humans, everything here is yours to take. I’ll be going ahead, and let’s meet again if fate permits."

With that, the infantile Tai Sui quickly melted into a pool of liquid, disappearing along with the other liquids in the stone chamber, leaving only a small golden ring.

Jiang Yuebai slumped to the ground, exhaling deeply, and only then did Little Green, always hiding in the corner, fly out.

[Finally gone]

"This place is not safe; leave quickly."

Jiang Yuebai drank a sip of Spiritual Wine to refresh herself, and with great effort, swept everything in the stone chamber clean, not even sparing the Large Alchemy Furnace in the center.

Then she climbed out through the crack overhead back to the ground. The whole valley seemed to have been ravaged by a flood, with collapsed houses and uprooted trees lying tilted.

Jiang Yuebai glanced into the cave on the back mountain; everything inside was as usual, Tai Sui hadn’t come this way.

Mutong, however, was already dead. Jiang Yuebai guessed there was some Blood Covenant between him and Xue Liuzhi; with Xue Liuzhi in trouble, he couldn’t survive either.

"Xue Liuzhi is dead, the antidote is here, you can escape yourselves."

Jiang Yuebai shouted in a lower voice into the cave, threw down the Soft Immortal Powder antidote she found in the Alchemy Room earlier, and then turned to leave.

The sky gradually brightened, with the light of the Golden Crow shining through the mountain crevices into the sunless cave, illuminating those emerging from the darkness...

*

Jiang Yuebai piloted the Flying Core Boat away. Passing by the Hundred Poison Mystery Pond, she found all the poisonous liquid in the pond dried up, leaving only bare bones at the bottom.

The poisonous miasma on the mountain ridge dissipated, the poisonous flowers withered, making her escape easier.

"It must have been eaten by Tai Sui."

Just thinking of that guy made Jiang Yuebai shiver; misfortune was such an elusive matter, leaving one at a loss on how to proceed.

She’d rather spend tens of more years searching for other Wood Spirit Objects than be plagued by bad luck for a lifetime.

Moreover, Tai Sui mentioned Immortal Spirit Grass, which sounded a lot like the Wood Spirit Body, perhaps this was a turning point, an unexpected method gained.

Seeing other Tunneling Lights approaching Broken Soul Ridge from afar, Jiang Yuebai suppressed her urge to investigate immediately, deploying the Hidden Sect Array Plate to conceal her aura.

The Flying Core Boat dove down, lowering its flight altitude to avoid the Tunneling Lights heading toward Broken Soul Ridge.

After a few days, she returned to her small courtyard on Spiritual Mist Mountain and kicked the door open.

The courtyard was eerily quiet, empty except for a wooden bird perched on a branch. Seeing her, it let out an unpleasant sound.

"Welcome back!"

The wooden bird flew over, its abdomen opening, dropping a small paper tube in front of Jiang Yuebai, containing only a message left by Moh Baichun.

[Little girl, people’s hearts are sinister; the outside world is different from the Sect, and the people outside are more complex than your fellow disciples. Don’t naively trust the wrong people in the future. Thanks for this time, farewell.]

Jiang Yuebai angrily tore the paper into shreds, seething with rage.

"Moh Baichun, no wonder your last name is Moh; your heart is pitch-black, even worse than that Tai Sui, at least it knows better than to harm its kind! You better hope I never see you again!!"
