Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1139 - 589_2
The middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly, "Of course! Look at me, I've been washing dishes here for twenty years, how old am I now?"
Shen Ying frowned.
Others thought he was middle-aged, but he seemed like he's on the border between middle-aged and elderly. One step back, they'd call him uncle; one more step, they'd call him grandpa.
Just as Shen Ying was about to diplomatically suggest a relatively young age, the middle-aged man laughed loudly, "I'm twenty-eight this year, but everyone says I look eighteen. It's all thanks to being here."
Upon hearing this answer and confirming he wasn't joking, Shen Ying and Duan Yun couldn't help but gasp.
This guy is twenty-eight?
If you didn't know, you'd think he was fifty-eight, sixty-eight.
Shen Ying had high emotional intelligence and almost said forty-eight, which felt like she would be slightly brushing her conscience.
Duan Yun couldn't resist asking curiously, "What's the secret?"
He just wanted to determine if this guy's mind was still normal.
From his professional perspective as a gynecologist, this guy's perception could be described as "hysteria."
"First wash dishes, first wash dishes. You guys are Lords of Heaven, when the time comes, I'll naturally tell you."
Afterward, this youthful middle-aged man started washing dishes vigorously.
The dishwashing was done with utmost seriousness; you could tell from his hair swaying up and down with the force.
Watching him seriously wash dishes and his confident belief in his youthfulness, Duan Yun felt this place turned people into ghosts.
Duan Yun and Shen Ying felt a bit embarrassed slacking off watching him work so hard.
But despite the embarrassment, they were indeed slacking off.
Because the thought of blowing up this place grew a notch stronger for them.
"The Inner City of Celestial People easily turns people into ghosts." This became a new crime, noted down by Duan Yun.
By noon, the piled-up dishes were finally washed clean.
The youthful middle-aged man named "Yan San" checked twice, making sure the dishes were clean, then put down his work.
He was evidently dissatisfied with Duan Yun and Shen Ying's performance, muttering, "In this Inner City, you should always have something in your sight, don't let your hands idle."
Seeing the hour, Yan San said, "Let's go, let's eat."
Hearing the words "eat," Duan Yun and Shen Ying finally felt a bit relaxed.
People always need to eat.
If you eat well enough, it's also a kind of enjoyment.
Yan San led them to a canal behind the dishwashing room.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Quick, quick, eat!"
With that, he suddenly crouched down and started gulping down the sewage.
Seeing Duan Yun and Shen Ying not moving, even showing shocked expressions, Yan San hurried them while drinking, "What are you waiting for? Eat! How can people not eat!"
"You want to know my secret to youth, right? This is it!"
Duan Yun and Shen Ying couldn't help but rub their heads, feeling the situation was awkward.
This guy is really nuts.
Just then, Yan San burped loudly, having drunk too much, his belly slightly bulging.
Yan San, like an unteachable child, said, "Hurry up, or it'll be gone."
"You think I'm a fool? There's Daoist's pill residue in this water. Drinking this keeps you full all day, prolongs life, and makes you look young. Look, I'm the best example."
After hearing this explanation, Duan Yun roughly determined this guy was mercury poisoned.
This guy had been drinking this non-human, non-ghost water as food for many years, naively thinking he got a great deal, with no one bothering to stop him. This place indeed turns people into ghosts.
Just then, a loud sound suddenly echoed from the palace in front — "Start the furnace! Alchemy!"
"This time Daoist will definitely succeed."
It was clearly a woman's voice, yet her tone sounded masculine, even her self-reference.
There was a feeling as if the woman was possessed by a male ghost.
Upon hearing this voice, the confident Yan San suddenly trembled and paled.
"Quickly, quickly, Daoist is going to perform alchemy."
Saying this, he rushed towards the dishwashing room.
Duan Yun and Shen Ying hurried to follow, Duan Yun asked, "Daoist is performing alchemy, why are you running?"
Yan San, looking fearful, said, "Daoist alchemy uses humans as the medicinal lead, I'm so handsome and dashing, I don't want to become a pill."
Upon hearing this, Duan Yun and Shen Ying sentenced that alchemist to death over there.
Using live humans for alchemy, that's clearly a capital offense.
They thought, let's send them off now.
At this moment, two pillars of fire shot into the sky.
One fire pillar came from the alchemist's hall, the fire was in a variety of colors, while the other was more normal, but much more rapid.
At this moment, Shen Ying with sharp eyes said, "There's someone on the fire."
Duan Yun squinted to look, indeed, on the rapid fire pillar, there was a person holding a black cylinder flying up.
"Is it a manned rocket?"
Duan Yun couldn't help but express his amazement.
They had only been in the Inner City of Celestial People for one day, and this place had surprised them several times.
The person should have practiced body techniques, even on a soaring fire pillar, wasn't immediately burned, instead muscles bulged, skin surface even showing a metallic sheen.
At this moment, both Duan Yun and Shen Ying stared in awe.
Duan Yun didn't expect that Heavenly Human Dao really had the technology for "manned space flight."
Just then, there was a loud explosion, the fire pillar on top suddenly had a violent explosion.
In Duan Yun and Shen Ying's vision, the person holding the black cylinder instantly turned into fragments, then consumed by flames.
With a "pop," they took a step back.
The metal fragments of that black cylinder even landed near their feet.
At this moment, a sharp female voice rang out — "Fire Taoist, damn your mother! Can you stop setting off fireworks randomly? I'm alchemy here, if it messes with my Pill Furnace, you'll feel it!"
"Even if it didn't hit the Pill Furnace, ruining my precious flowers and plants is your sin!"
A thick male voice followed — "Dead Alchemist! Yell like a dog again! Believe it or not, I'll send you, this bitch, up as fireworks!"
"I don't believe it, come on!"
"Come on then! If you don't, you're a eunuch!"
....
The two sides cursing across the air, fiercely like they were about to explode into an all-out brawl at any moment.
Duan Yun and Shen Ying weren't bloodthirsty spectators, but they enjoyed the show.
If it turned into a dog-eat-dog situation, it'd make their fight more satisfying.
They'd concluded that the Daoists here were quite powerful, and there were many of them, so to clean them up for good, they couldn't make a big commotion, they had to stealthily shoot.
If it caused a stir and they scattered, catching them would be more difficult.
Duan Yun and Shen Ying headed towards the noise, suddenly excited.
Because they saw the alchemist female Taoist already charging out vigorously!
What she looked like, Duan Yun didn't know, just felt she had quite a presence, running with waves crashing.
No, he quickly felt she wasn't large-chested, just the waves crashing.
Not being large-chested didn't contradict waves crashing, it represented the female Taoist's fierce determination to brawl.
And meanwhile, the other Daoists also charged over.
The Daoists here were even more noticeable, as they all appeared red, like cooked shrimp.
Shen Ying said, "It's really about to fight!"
In the blink of an eye, both sides were only a short distance apart.
Between them was a wooden fence.
Strangely, both sides stopped in front of the seemingly fragile wooden fence.
Then, they started pointing fingers and spitting but didn't step forward.
The more they cursed, the fiercer they got, one side even cursed until their pants fell, almost eradicating an enemy's family lineage, but wouldn't cross the fence.
And just as this happened, a gust of wind blew, that dilapidated wooden fence wobbled, then fell over.
