Chapter 29 Waste Utilization (I)

  A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhan Qing has been following Dan Changlao to learn alchemy every day. She is happy with it and has made considerable progress. With her current level of alchemy, she must be a sought-after object for various families to compete for and curry favor with.

  Recently, Ling Lao has been very troubled. Why? Of course, it's about how to deal with the "traitor". Locking him up for life isn't a solution; expelling him would risk Wang Lao spreading rumors everywhere; killing him directly would be too cruel, and besides, they might meet again someday, making it hard to take action. So, emotionally and rationally, this is a thankless task - why did it have to fall on his head? Ling Lao's tightly furrowed face squashed the mosquito that had just flown in front of him, then he propped up his cheeks with both hands, striking a girlish pose.

  Suddenly, a flash of insight, ah! How could he forget her?! The intelligence was originally proposed by her, so the solution would be to trouble others. He mysteriously slipped away from the crowd and rushed towards the Cloud Pavilion.

  The day's alchemy practice had ended, and Zhan Qingxuan's mood was calm and peaceful. As the dusk fell, she bid farewell to Dan Changlao and stepped back into the cloud pavilion under the moonlight. Just as she reached the entrance, a black figure rushed towards her. With quick reflexes, she dodged and looked at the person in front of her with caution. When the moon peeked out from behind the clouds, revealing its shy face, she finally saw who was standing before her. At that moment, she was so angry that she almost spat blood.

  "What are you up to again, Lingzong?" If she hadn't known that there was no great danger in the college, she would have struck out long ago.

  "Lightning, Lightning, you've finally come back, where did you go? I've been looking for you all day." Leng Lao's resentful pout, Zhan Lightening was controlling, again and again.

  "Speak up if you have something to say!"

  "Heh heh, just a small matter, let's go and talk about it inside... Ha..." Lao Ling smiled brightly.

  Zhan Qing's veins bulged with rage, barely controlling himself from slapping that fawning old face. A small matter? She still doesn't know what kind of person Ling Chang Lao is; a small matter would find her? She wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death.

  As soon as her heel stepped into the house, Ling Changlao suddenly closed the door, his eyes flashing, and his hands rubbing together, "Hehe... Hehe..."

  "Hurry up and say it!"

  "It's him, that Elder Wang you know! The Academy has already investigated and verified it, the traitor is indeed him, now he's been locked up."

  "Hmm? And then?"

  "Then, it's just, you see how Elder Wang handled this better!"

  "What's done is the college's business, what does it have to do with me?"

  "Wait! Wait! Since you're the one who discovered this matter, you also have merit. So when it comes to dealing with him, we'll still need to consult your opinion."

  "Ling Lao Lao, it can't be that the Academy handed this hot potato to you, can it? You're considering old relationships and don't know what to do, huh?"

  "Ah? That... how... how could..." Ling Lao laughed awkwardly, his heart feeling guilty and not daring to look at her.

  "Can't? Then you solve it yourself, I'm going to sleep." The matter was not up for discussion, and Zhan Qing walked into the inner chamber.

  "Stop it, stop it, stop it! Can't you just help me out?"

  Turning his head, he looked at the tearful Lingzong Lao, Zhan Qingchuan's face turned black with rage. A man, still an old man, a very, very old grandfatherly old man, putting on this appearance, was really ugly to look at.

  "Take this!" War lightly shouted, his hands behind his back, clenching his fists.

  Ling Lao saw a turn for the better and immediately regained his composure.

  "I'll help you resolve this matter, but as for how it's done, the academy doesn't need to know. Just tell outsiders that he encountered some danger while training, got it?" Seeing him about to interject, Zhan Qingchuan shot him a glance, and Ling Changlao immediately fell silent.

  "Now, where is Elder Wang?"

  "In the back hills."

  "I'm going to settle things, and when I come back, I'll just want to sleep, don't want to see you again, got it?"

  Ling Lao Lao nodded hastily, and after she walked away, he squatted in the corner, muttering to himself: "Zhan Qing is a bad person, a bad person. Not only did he scold him, but also bullied him..."

  Summoning back the Jiao, after a few leaps, they arrived at the back mountain. It was strange that there were no guards, but upon entering the cave, she realized that there was a restriction in place. With the help of the Jiao's divine beast abilities, the restriction was quickly eliminated. She looked around at the person sitting on a bundle of straw.

  The king elder who felt the fluctuation turned his head and asked, "What kind of person are you?"

  "The person who came to kill you."

  "Haha, are you kidding me?"

  The legendary King Chang was stout and majestic, with an air of authority, and at this moment he was staring straight at her.

  She didn't have much time to explain, so she directly launched a fire-elemental spiritual attack. The difference between the Spirit King and the Spirit Saint was not just one or two stars, as evidenced by her disheveled appearance after barely dodging an attack, with several wounds on her body. Her two beast companions asked her worriedly if she was okay.

  Wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth, she charged at the disdainful King Elder once more, engaging in a fierce battle that left her with even more severe injuries. However, she refused to give up, for it was only when one was on the brink of death that they could be reborn. She had promised Spirit Elder Long that she would come here to improve herself, and the best way to do so was through actual combat training.

  Getting back to her feet once more, she used all her strength to charge forward. At this point, King Elder was also getting impatient - what was the Academy's intention? Was it to end his life or use even crueler means to torture him? But as he waited and waited, all he got was a girl who didn't know her own limits coming at him? What did the Academy mean by this? What was going on here?

  "Golden spear and iron horse!" Elder Wang's two hands formed a huge energy ball, which he hurled at Zhan Qingcang.

  Zhan Qingcang was knocked to the wall by this heavy blow, rolled several times, his hair disheveled, bloodstains all over, fresh blood flowing from his mouth, and he had no more strength.

  A majestic aura burst forth in front of her, and with a loud roar, she charged at Elder Wang. Just then, a sudden change occurred, and the upgraded law descended from the heavens. Warlight Crazy's injuries healed at a visible rate under the holy light, and the star level of her spell array transformed into three stars. The bright red color illuminated her face, making it absolutely stunning!

  The old king who was watching from the side obviously didn't want to give her this opportunity, and was just about to deliver a fatal blow, but suddenly felt a strong pressure coming his way - it was a divine beast! How could that be? This little thing in front of him is a divine beast? Does this girl have a divine beast?! The pressure made him kneel down on the ground, unable to muster any resistance, cold sweat dripping down. His heart was filled with shock, panic, and doubt, until only despair remained. Was heaven determined for him to die today? He had truly underestimated this girl, never expecting her to have a divine beast as her trump card.

  Long before Wang Changlao made a move, Zhan Qingcang had given orders to control him without killing him. After all, this abandoned chess piece of the Academy was still very useful to her! "Trash" was meant to be used again, wasn't it? Accompanying her in practice was also a realization of his life value.

  Before long, Zhan Qingcang opened his eyes, regained confidence, stood in front of Wang Changlao with a spirited and refreshed spirit, and took up a fighting stance again.
