Chapter 22: Shen Tu Sheng Dong's Plan

  After seeing off Sito Qingyan, Zhang Shan looked at a jade bottle in his hand.

  Inside the jade bottle were three inferior Yuan Yuan Dan, a kind of elixir that could replenish the depleted True Qi of any warrior below the third level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Although its effect was great in battle, eating it continuously over a short period would cause its efficacy to decline.

  These three elixirs were given by Situ Qingyun to Zhang Shan before he left, in case of emergency.

  "It's really different when you're from a big family with a big business, one move and it's three Yuanyuan Dan, in times of crisis, one might just save your life." Zhang Shan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

  "The host's top priority should be to intensify the cultivation of the indestructible body of the five elements. If you can cultivate it to the first level, even if Shen Tushengdong is one step higher than you, he won't be able to do anything to you."

  The voice of Bei Ling suddenly echoed in Zhang Shan's sea of consciousness.

  "I naturally know this, but the Body Refining Technique is originally difficult to achieve quickly. Without a year or two of practice, I think it's hard to cultivate the First Layer of the Five Elements Indestructible Body." Zhang Shan sighed.

  "With the help of external forces, it's not that difficult to achieve the first level of rapid progress, but some materials are needed." said Ling.

  "Then what materials are needed?" Zhang Shan's eyes lit up: "I've never seen you mention it before."

  "Previously, considering the host's financial resources, it was feared that they couldn't afford it, and even if mentioned, it would be useless. Now that the host and the Situ family have reached a deal, perhaps there is a possibility."

  "Your meaning is to let the Situ family help collect the materials needed?" Zhang Shan suddenly understood.

  "Yes, I'll send you the materials needed. Have the Situ family prepare them. Once we have them, I can help the host's Five Elements Indestructible Body reach the first realm within a day."

  With the sound of Ling's words, Zhang Shan suddenly had several material names in his mind.

  "A top-grade spiritual beast's crystal core or ten mid-grade spiritual beast crystal cores, ten Copper Skin Flowers, ten Iron Bone Grasses, and ten Blazing Mandrakes?" Zhang Shan exclaimed.

  "The best effect of the top-grade spiritual beast's demon crystal is the most ideal, if not, it can only be replaced with ten times that of a mid-grade spiritual beast's demon crystal." said the Monumental Spirit firmly.

  "I think it's unreliable, a top-grade spiritual beast is equivalent to a human martial artist at the Xuanwu Realm, and even the head of a small sect is only at the Xuanwu Realm. A crystal of this level, even the Situ family can't get their hands on it, right?"

  Zhang Shan shook his head, even if the Situ family could get it, why would they give such an expensive thing to themselves?

  "I've already told you where the materials are, whether or not you can get your hands on them is up to you." said Bi Ling irresponsibly.

  "Well, let's try it out then. If high-quality demon crystals won't work, medium-quality ones should be fine, right?" Zhang Shan thought to himself.

  The next day, as agreed, Situ Qing sent a high-ranking member of his household to protect the safety of Zhang's family.

  The newcomer was Sito's fourth uncle, Sito Mingkong. After Zhang Shan personally arranged for him to stay in the wing room, he told him what materials he needed.

  Situ Mingkong furrowed his brow and said, "I don't know what Third Young Master wants these materials for."

  "If I have these things, my confidence in defeating Shentu Shengdong will increase by at least 50%." Zhang Shan said.

  If he couldn't defeat Shen Tusheng Dong, he wouldn't be able to enter the Wentiangong Sect. Zhang Shan didn't believe that the Situ family could protect himself and his family members.

  In that case, he wouldn't care even if his strength increased by a whole level and his boasts were exposed as empty.

  Situ Ming's eyes flashed: "Increase the chances by 50%? Are you sure?"

  "I'm quite certain that this selection is a matter of life and death for me, so I wouldn't joke about it." Zhang Shan said to him directly.

  Cai Ming looked at him with a thoughtful expression and said, "I see that Zhang Xiao's words imply that he has made up his mind to die."

  "I have no way out, if I don't win, I'll die!" Zhang Shan said solemnly.

  "Alright, I'll talk to Miss about it. She should agree too. High-quality demon crystals might be hard to come by, but my family will try our best to get mid-quality ones for you." said Sito Mingkong resolutely.

  After seeing him agree, Zhang Shan let out a sigh of relief. Now it was just a matter of waiting and hoping that Situ Qingyan would make his move quickly.

  Chengbei, Shentu Prefecture.

  Shentu Shengdong returned home from Zhangjiagui with a sullen face, and had a big outburst of temper at home, which made all the servants tremble with fear, not even daring to take a deep breath.

  With Shentu's vengeful and stubborn personality, he naturally wouldn't let Zhang Shan comfortably wait until the door selection.

  After consulting with General Manager Cai, the two of them drew up a plan.

  The next afternoon, Kano, who was ranked second in the strength ranking of the Utage Academy, was invited into Shindou's study.

  Kanaya's face was as expressionless as ever, but his eyes flickered occasionally, indicating that he wasn't as calm as he seemed on the surface.

  Shen Tu won a warm smile: "Guan Shidi please sit down, I just got some good tea, might as well taste it together."

  Guan nodded his hands and said, "I'm just a commoner, I don't know how to distinguish the good from the bad of this tea. Master Shentu called me here, please instruct me clearly."

  "Guanshi seems to be a straightforward person, since it's not good for this path, Ben Shao won't force it either. Please sit down first and let's talk." Shen Tusheng Dong said, pointing to the chair across from him with his folding fan.

  Kanaya hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

  Shen Tui Sheng Dong picked up his teacup and took a light sip, then paused for a moment before speaking: "I heard that Guan Shi Di has been stuck in the ninth layer of Qi Wu Jing for quite some time and can't break through?"

  "Guān Mǒu's qualifications are not enough, he can only slowly accumulate his skills through hard work, unlike Shēn Tū Xiǎo Yé who was born with great talent and has already advanced to the Líng Wǔ realm." Guān Yě didn't know what kind of trickery was going on in his mind, so he replied cautiously.

  Shen Tu Sheng Dong used a folding fan to pat his palm, and smiled slightly: "If I give you a Lingdan pellet, I suppose it shouldn't be a problem for Guan Shidi to advance in rank?"

  Kanaya's eyebrows twitched violently, and a strong desire flashed in his eyes, it took him a while to regain control of himself.

  "He took a deep breath: 'I don't know what Mr. Shentu means?'"

  Shen Tu Sheng Dong looked at him and continued: "Ben Shao wants you to do something, after it's done, the Pei Ling Dan will be yours."

  "The Shen Tu family has many strong hands, what can a single Qi Wu realm warrior like me do to help?" Guan Ye hesitated and said.

  "How to put it, first of all, it's not convenient for the Shentu family to show up in this matter. Secondly, the other party is just two martial artists at the fifth level of Qi Wu, and with your cultivation, you can handle them easily."

  "Does Master Shentu mean for me to go and kill two people at the fifth level of Qi Wu? What's their background? If they're from one of the four major families, I'm afraid Guan is powerless." Guan said with a rapidly changing mind.

  "Master Guan is worrying too much. These two people absolutely have no background. If you agree, I'll tell you their names again." Shentu Shengdong said with a gentle wave of his folding fan.

  Kanaya thought for a moment, although he felt that Shentu Shengdong's words were not necessarily true, this matter might not be as simple as he said, in his cognition, these aristocratic families were not what good men and believers.

  Just thinking about Pei Ling Dan makes my heart burn with excitement. As long as I can get it, even if it means taking some risks, it's worth it.

  Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "If Shentu Young Master didn't deceive me, then I'll take care of Guan Ye."

  "Great! Refreshing!"

  Shentu Shengdong clapped his palm with force and smiled in satisfaction: "Since Guan Shidi has agreed, then I'll tell you about my plan..."
