Chapter 38 : No Time to Explain, Get on the Vehicle

Chapter 38: No Time to Explain, Get on the Vehicle

Following the principle that whoever sees it gets a share.

Fang Chang handed that emerald-green precious pill to Dai Bojun.

Dai Bojun raised his head in surprise, his delicate fair face flushed with excitement.

“For me?”

“Whoever sees it gets a share.”

Fang Chang smiled.

But inwardly, he thought that the matter of fortune was truly troublesome.

If he hadn’t been cautious this time and brought Dai Bojun along, they might not have even been able to open the Bronze Gate, let alone deal with that two-headed pig Bìngfēng inside.

“This item is called the [Emerald Bamboo Heart Pill]. It stabilizes the Dao Heart and prevents Inner Demons. Even if one gets stuck at a bottleneck in the future, it can at least save a great deal of effort.”

Fang Chang explained.

All of his cultivation came from the Corpse Refinement Path Class System, so he presumably had no such thing as Inner Demons.

Thus, this pill was of little use to him.

Dai Bojun was a useful tool.

Maintaining the relationship a bit was always a good thing.

“But I didn’t help with anything. I only twisted the key—anyone could do that.”

Dai Bojun scratched his head, too embarrassed to accept it.

“You at least twisted the key. She truly did nothing.”

Fang Chang smiled and pointed at You Yuan.

At this moment, You Yuan had already refined One-Leaf Azure.

She was exploring it with a look of curiosity, letting the blue grass roam freely, not paying attention to their conversation at all.

Dai Bojun couldn’t help but laugh.

He stopped refusing and accepted the pill.

With a grateful expression, he said, “Brother Fang, you’re a rare truly good person. Even though I’m just an ordinary Qi Absorption cultivator, you still brought me along. In the future, I will definitely repay you properly!”

It’s fine.

This pill originally belonged to you in the storyline anyway.

Fang Chang waved his hand, indicating he didn’t care.

At that moment—

The Secret Realm trembled violently again, and gravel rained down from above.

Dai Bojun anxiously said, “We should leave now, Brother Fang!”

“No rush.”

This dojo had existed for too long—its self-destruction wouldn’t happen so quickly.

He turned toward the clear spring, raised his hand, and drew out the Blood Thorn Cord, pulling down the ice boat suspended above.

The ice boat emitted waves of chilling cold, extremely frigid.

And within it—

There was actually a blue corpse.

The corpse’s hands were crossed over its lower abdomen, wrapped in a silk long dress that outlined a graceful figure, its face serene and beautiful.

And extremely elastic.

As Fang Chang dragged it down, the body’s soft flesh… especially the two mounds on the chest… swayed quite noticeably.

“What is this? A corpse?”

Dai Bojun felt a bit frightened.

He didn’t dare look and hid behind Fang Chang.

Hearing the commotion, You Yuan came over, her delicate nose twitching slightly.

Her expression instantly turned to shock.

“This is not a corpse, but a substitute refined from Tai Sui Flesh threads… With such craftsmanship, the owner of this dojo must be a master proficient in the plant-based path!”

“Tai Sui… flesh? Substitute? How is that possible? She looks no different from a human.”

Dai Bojun tilted his head, not quite understanding.

Fang Chang stared at the Tai Sui flesh body for a moment.

Of course, he knew this item.

In the game, if this item were handed to the shop for dismantling, it would return a batch of Tai Sui red flesh.

Some people also said that as a commemorative item, they would store it in their warehouse.

However—

Perhaps in later versions, the infinitely regenerating Tai Sui creature had become too powerful.

Or perhaps the substitute was simply too beautiful, causing suppressed impulses among players to erupt.

Some forum users had begun discussing methods to refine this Tai Sui flesh body into a Corpse Puppet…

For now, that matter was left aside.

Any verification would have to wait until after they got out.

Fang Chang stored the Tai Sui flesh body into the Black Tortoise Square Cauldron.

Under the puzzled gazes of You Yuan and Dai Bojun, he stepped directly onto the ice boat.

“No time to explain, get on the vehicle.”

Fang Chang beckoned to them.

…

…

The earth shook violently.

On the Martial Lecture Plaza Route—

After a violent tremor in the Secret Realm, things gradually stabilized, but the rock walls and jade steps had visibly begun to collapse!

“What’s going on!? Why is there suddenly an earthquake in the Secret Realm!?”

You Yiming exclaimed in panic.

He regarded the Secret Realm as a crucial part of reviving Medicine Master Manor.

His plan was to loot all the treasures inside—how could he not panic at this sudden change?

Lü Muxue, wanting to find her aunt, was naturally anxious as well.

She activated a paperweight talisman treasure shaped like twin chi dragons holding a lingzhi, sacrificing a portion of her blood essence to forcibly produce a talisman.

No one knew what was happening.

But they knew that this favored daughter of the Taiyi Talisman Palace had no shortage of methods.

For a moment, everyone looked at her.

After a short while, Lü Muxue’s face suddenly turned pale.

“The Dao rhythm is dissipating, and Dao Tribulation Power is surging—this Secret Realm is about to self-destruct!”

“What!?”

You Yiming was both shocked and enraged.

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, and fear spread among them.

The rogue cultivators all felt endangered, at a loss for what to do.

In the distance, the imperial palace team also fell into chaos and panic.

Even the two disciples from the Pure Yang Palace, who had remained silent the entire time, closed their eyes and shook their heads.

Only Wang Yichen remained the calmest.

Troubled by love, he sighed inwardly, quietly sorrowful.

“Miss Lü, do you know where the exit is?!”

You Yiming hurriedly asked.

Lü Muxue frowned deeply, her baby-fat face scrunched up in distress.

“This kind of Secret Realm is an ancient powerhouse’s dojo—how could there be a fixed exit!”

“Then what should we do?!”

At that very moment—

Another aftershock erupted within the corridor of the Secret Realm.

It came quickly and left just as fast, and stability returned in an instant.

However, the stone wall ahead suddenly collapsed, revealing a crack.

Light seeped through the crack—a warm, golden-red glow filled with profound Spiritual Essence.

Everyone stopped moving.

When the crack widened to about three feet, the contents inside were revealed.

—It was a dazzling golden chamber.

On the offering platform, a completely gilded key and a golden pill were each wrapped in spheres of light, suspended in midair and rotating around each other.

From the corner of their vision, they could see piles of Tai Sui red flesh inside the room.

Each time the light spheres completed a rotation—

The surrounding air trembled.

The quality of Spiritual Essence displayed there far exceeded the total of all the secret chambers they had encountered combined.

No one spoke.

Even breathing seemed to stop.

Those eyes, which previously held fear, fatigue, and vigilance—

Now held only one thing.

Greed.

“Innate Grass Pill… Tai Sui red flesh…”

Someone muttered hoarsely, their voice barely human.

Before the words even finished—

You Yiming’s feet exploded with force, and he shot forward like a cannonball, charging ahead.

His expression twisted ferociously, as strange branches and leaves grew and coiled around his arms.

Several rogue cultivators who were closer to the chamber—

Were struck by those arms and instantly torn apart, as if sliced by thousands of blades.

The two cultivators from the Pure Yang Palace reacted first.

Blazing Great Sun True Fire erupted as they vanished from their original positions and collided with You Yiming.

Boom!!

Great Sun True Fire and burning branches scattered throughout the corridor.

You Yiming was blasted backward several zhang, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He didn’t care in the slightest, his eyes wide with fury.

“Get lost!”

One of the Pure Yang Palace cultivators, the taller one with a full beard, seemed to realize something. Narrowing his eyes, he said in a deep voice:

“Master You, that key may be the key to leaving. Do not entertain thoughts that harm others without benefiting yourself.”

“Bullshit! This Secret Realm descended upon Medicine Master Manor—everything here naturally belongs to my Medicine Master Manor! Before I finish looting all the treasures here, no one is allowed to use that key!”
