Chapter 131: Chapter 134 Spirit Practitioner Appears
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Four
"Zhao Jun, you've done well," Long Xiaoshan said as he removed the Golden Needle from Zhao Jun's body, "I am not an unreasonable person. I've now helped you remove part of the toxin, ensuring you won't suffer from it for the next three months. If you can reform yourself and cease your wicked ways in the future, I could rid you of the poison completely."
"Thank you, Brother Long. I will definitely turn over a new leaf. Constructing the Hope Primary School these past months has deeply moved me, and I've decided to donate and build even more Hope Primary Schools," Zhao Jun hurriedly said.
This wasn't just to please Long Xiaoshan.
It was because Zhao Jun, a major villain, upon seeing the smiles of the children and feeling the satisfaction from the process of donation, surprisingly found it to be more exhilarating than earning money through killing.
Unconsciously, his mentality had started to change.
Long Xiaoshan observed Zhao Jun's face and indeed noticed a change.
The maliciousness on his face had been reduced.
He commented, "Not bad. Originally, you were on a path to a violent death. According to your facial features, you wouldn't have lived past forty. Now that your features have improved, stick to your new path, and you'll meet a good end."
Zhao Jun was startled.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He knew Long Xiaoshan was no ordinary man, capable of exorcising ghosts, even immune to bullets.
For such an extraordinary person to read faces was not surprising.
Hearing now that he wouldn't have lived past forty, he broke out in cold sweat, especially since he was already thirty-nine, which meant that if Long Xiaoshan hadn't mentioned it, and he continued living his former lifestyle, he might only have one more year to live.
Realizing this, Zhao Jun immediately fell to his knees, "Thank you for your guidance, Master Long."
His address changed from Brother Long to Master Long, indicating respect.
"I'm no grandmaster; I am a farmer," Long Xiaoshan stood up and handed over a talisman, "Keep this Talisman. It can save your life in a critical moment, even blocking bullets for you. Consider it your reward for looking after Longling Pharmaceutical Company in Xinyuan County for me."
Long Xiaoshan knew about the immense benefits of Dragon Spirit Beautifying Water and facial masks.
It would certainly attract covetous glances.
He couldn't be in Xinyuan County all the time to watch over things.
Thus, he entrusted the task to Zhao Jun, to make good use of his abilities.
"Yes, Grandmaster Long, I guarantee no harm will come to Longling Pharmaceuticals," Zhao Jun quickly took the Talisman Paper, overjoyed.
He had no doubt that a single piece of talisman paper could block bullets.
Having seen with his own eyes his gunshot having no effect on Long Xiaoshan, for someone involved in the shady underworld like him, this was like having an extra life.
Just then, Long Xiaoshan's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw it was Shen Yuerong's number.
Answering the call, he said, "Sister Shen, do you need something?"
"Kid, Daoist Jia of Lotus Temple, you killed him, didn't you?" A sinister voice came from the other end.
Long Xiaoshan's expression changed, and he said in a grave voice, "Who are you?"
"You will soon know who I am. But first, listen to this," a moan of pain suddenly came through the phone.
Upon hearing the voice, Long Xiaoshan's expression turned grim; it was unmistakably Shen Yuerong's voice.
It seemed Shen Yuerong had fallen into the hands of this person.
Since this person had captured Shen Yuerong, they were undoubtedly related to Daoist Jia, seeking vengeance against him.
With this thought, a touch of murderous intent appeared on Long Xiaoshan's face as he said, "I don't care who you are, if you have an issue, come at me. What skill is there in capturing a woman?"
"Good. Tonight at eight o'clock, meet me at Nine Peaks Mountain. And remember, come alone." The caller hung up directly.
Long Xiaoshan's expression was cold.
Murderous intent filled the air, causing Zhao Jun, who was standing nearby, to feel his heart constrict.
"Grandmaster Long, is there anything you need help with?" Zhao Jun asked carefully.
"Where is Nine Peaks Mountain?"
"Nine Peaks Mountain? It's at the border between our Xinyuan and Niu Y County. But that mountain is very tall, rarely visited by people, and there are fierce beasts roaming around. Ordinary people dare not enter," Zhao Jun explained.
Long Xiaoshan nodded and said, "You may leave now."
Watching Zhao Jun depart.
Long Xiaoshan immediately set out, driving towards Nine Peaks Mountain.
Before reaching Jiufeng Mountain, the road had already come to an end.
Following the mountain forest, Long Xiaoshan saw a very tall mountain with nine peaks on it.
Long Xiaoshan didn't do as the Taoist priest had said.
It wasn't even night yet, but he had already arrived.
Jiufeng Mountain was very tall, rarely visited by humans, and had no paths. He climbed all the way to the top, using the Spirit Eye ability. Jiufeng Mountain was infested with insects and snakes; Long Xiaoshan encountered several attacks from poisonous snakes on his way up.
Awoo!
A yellow leopard sprang out from the woods.
Long Xiaoshan summoned his strength and threw a punch.
Bang!
The leopard was sent flying and let out a pained cry.
This mountain forest was indeed perilously dangerous; if Long Xiaoshan weren't a cultivator, he would not have been able to climb up the mountain at all.
Gradually, he made it to the top of the mountain.
Long Xiaoshan searched around the mountaintop.
He kept searching until the sky was about to darken.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes; he had finally found some traces. Long Xiaoshan quickly slapped an Invisibility Talisman on himself, and in the dimming light, he spotted a cave entrance concealed by vines.
If it were not for the Spirit Eye, he would not have found this place.
Long Xiaoshan quietly snuck in.
The cave was very dark inside, but with the Spirit Eye, he could see clearly. After walking a short distance, he found Shen Yuerong tied up in a corner of the cave, with a black-robed Taoist priest sitting cross-legged there.
Seeing that Shen Yuerong was unharmed,
Long Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he observed the black-robed Taoist priest with the Seven-Star Sword on his back and three long beards, looking every bit the accomplished ascetic.
Of course, Long Xiaoshan was not deceived by his appearance.
Daoist Jia was a Taoist priest.
This black-robed Taoist priest was also a Taoist priest.
It seemed that the two were in cahoots; this black-robed Taoist priest must have come to avenge Daoist Jia.
Since the other party had ill intentions, Long Xiaoshan was naturally not going to be polite.
He sneakily moved closer, planning to catch him by surprise.
Long Xiaoshan didn't have such scruples; back when he was fighting in prison, sneak attacks and foul play were a common occurrence.
Long Xiaoshan was very skilled at this.
He held his breath and concentrated, moving along the ground like a gecko, making use of the invisibility to circle behind the black-robed Taoist priest, and was just about to make his move.
The black-robed Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes and turned around, "Since you've come, why sneak around?"
"As you wish."
Long Xiaoshan hadn't expected to be discovered.
After his failed surprise attack, he simply revealed himself.
He was also secretly astonished that this old Taoist priest could detect him even while he was invisible; clearly, this Taoist priest was no ordinary individual.
"Trivial tricks, mere illusions, you dare to flaunt them before Taoist Priest," scoffed the black-robed Taoist priest, who was actually quite shocked internally.
He had thought that even if Long Xiaoshan made it to Jiufeng Mountain, he wouldn't be able to find him so quickly in the vast mountains.
He had even planned to set up some lethal traps.
But he hadn't expected Long Xiaoshan to arrive so swiftly and find his hiding place.
"Xiaoshan, get out of here! This is no ordinary person; he's a Spirit Practitioner." Upon seeing Long Xiaoshan suddenly appear, Shen Yuerong, startled at first, urgently shouted out.
