Immortal Me Can Infinitely Add Points For Myself

Chapter 197: Father and Son in the Beating



  The Little Pill Hall had now made a name for itself in the Qingzhou region.

  It wasn't due to the Little Pill Hall per se, but because of Chen Xia.

  At present, all the cultivators in Qingzhou knew that an extremely formidable guard had emerged in the Little Pill Hall. He was proficient in both the literary and martial arts, capable of refining high-grade spirit pills and even beating Bai Wu half to death.

  The cultivators of the Little Pill Hall had also caught wind of these rumors, and their veneration for Chen Xia grew even deeper. Most of them pledged their allegiance to him.

  Nevertheless, a few elders frowned. They reckoned that this wasn't favorable news for the Little Pill Hall. If all the cultivators flocked to Chen Xia's side, wouldn't the Little Pill Hall turn into Chen Xia's autocracy?

  Sensing that something was amiss, the elders promptly reported the situation to the current sect master of the Little Pill Hall.

  The sect master threw up his hands and said helplessly.

  "I've no idea."

  Even Qiu Yi was at a loss when it came to dealing with Chen Xia. What could he, as the sect master, do? Was he supposed to walk up and take a beating to face the reality?

  That would be masochistic.

  The sect master of the Little Pill Hall had no penchant for masochism and didn't want to meddle too much.

  Though he held the title of sect master, he scarcely had any dignity befitting the position. With the Qiu family lording over him from above, not to mention that any ancient species of great demons could come and act insolently in the Little Pill Hall.

  Anyway, he was being oppressed by others. It might as well be Chen Xia doing the oppressing. At least Chen Xia treated them well and could provide spirit pills.

  None of the other ancient species had ever been known to offer spirit pills to the Little Pill Hall.

  "After a thousand years of history, if the Little Pill Hall were to submit to this man, would it still deserve to be called the Little Pill Hall?"

  An elder still argued indignantly.

  "Well, if you truly have an objection, go and state it to his face at the entrance. There's no use complaining to me. Do you think I can defeat him?"

  The sect master of the Little Pill Hall knew his limitations and simply refused to get beaten up.

  The elders stared at each other, looking a bit dazed. Indeed, they were at their wits' end.

  The sect master shook his head, clasped his hands behind his back, and added.

  "To be honest, just looking at the current situation, would it really be a bad thing for the Little Pill Hall to submit to this man?"

  He chuckled softly and continued. "I don't see any downsides. On the contrary, I think there are more benefits. Firstly, there are numerous spirit pills. Secondly, he is extremely powerful. Such a person, if he could truly serve as the backer of the Little Pill Hall, would actually be a blessing for it."

  The sect master furrowed his brows slightly and concluded.

  "I can't tell whether you think it's bad for the Little Pill Hall or for yourselves."

  The several elders hung their heads, not knowing how to explain. They stammered.

  "U-understood."

  They scurried away in a panic, not daring to look back.

  The sect master of the Little Pill Hall let out a low sigh and shook his head again.

  Now, there was only one thing he worried about. That was if Chen Xia got into trouble and left midway, the enraged ancient species would surely take their anger out on the Little Pill Hall.

  By then, even the Qiu family might not be able to protect the Little Pill Hall, and all that awaited them would be annihilation.

  However, compared to living under the yoke of the ancient species like dogs, it was only slightly worse.

  Qingzhou was said to be a human territory, but it hardly bore any resemblance to one. Among the eight major powers, only the Qiu family and the Huang family were human, while the other six were ancient species.

  The entire Qingzhou was overrun by great demons. Most humans were under the control of the demon race and were only given the most basic cultivation methods. Once they reached the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage, their blood essence would be devoured.

  The sect master of the Little Pill Hall suspected that the claim that Qingzhou was a human territory was a ruse deliberately spread by the great demons to lure humans to settle here and become the blood essence nourishment for their cultivation.

  The Little Pill Hall, being under the Qiu family, fared slightly better than other humans in Qingzhou, but only marginally.

  Over the past thousand years, there had been no shortage of incidents where cultivators from the Little Pill Hall were devoured by ancient species. In the three hundred years since he had become the sect master, there had been no fewer than a hundred such cases.

  The whole Little Pill Hall was like a herd of cattle and sheep being raised. If the ancient species really wanted to, they could slaughter the entire Little Pill Hall, and the Qiu family wouldn't say a word.

  Anyway, there would soon be another Little Pill Hall.

  There was no shortage of people.

  The sect master of the Little Pill Hall sighed again. It would be best if Chen Xia's appearance could bring about some changes in Qingzhou.

  At this moment, Chen Xia, on whom he had pinned high hopes, was reclining on a rocking chair in the pavilion, holding a teacup, his head tilted slightly, pondering what to do next.

  At present, he only knew that this was the Qingzhou region, but he really had no idea where Qingzhou was. It might not even be in the starry sky of the Heaven-Sundering Sword Sea.

  The big yellow dog and Zhang Daoming had also entered the star gate. If their teleportation locations were similar, they should be in the same starry sky, just perhaps quite far apart.

  Of course, Chen Xia wanted to find them, but there was simply no news. There was no point in being impatient.

  Once he had thoroughly explored this place, he could use spirit pills to offer a reward for information. That should be much more reliable than searching blindly.

  In his leisure time, Chen Xia would inquire of the cultivators in the Little Pill Hall about the specific location of this world.

  But the cultivators in the Little Pill Hall didn't know either. Most of them were natives of Qingzhou and only knew that the outside of Qingzhou was called the Outer Region, but none of them had actually been there.

  Chen Xia wasn't in a hurry either. He planned to wait until his body had fully recovered before going to inquire of the so-called eight major powers in Qingzhou.

  Now, through pill refining, he had amassed over a thousand spirit stones, which made him a wealthy person in this so-called Qingzhou.

  At the mention of spirit stones, Chen Xia couldn't help but think of the large debt he still owed to the auction house in the Heaven-Sundering Sword Sea. Obviously, he couldn't pay it back now.

  Thinking of this, Chen Xia laughed wryly.

  Was there anything more enjoyable than freeloading?

  If there was, it should be freeloading all the time.

  Half a month later, Bai Wu arrived, carrying medicinal materials. His severely wounded body hobbled along, not daring to fly anymore. He could only limp slowly up the shattered mountain climbing path.

  Chen Xia was sprawled sloppily in the pavilion. When he saw Bai Wu approaching, he adjusted his sitting position slightly and asked.

  "Have you brought the medicinal materials?"

  "Yes, yes."Bai Wu nodded hurriedly and took out a large pile of medicinal materials from his storage magic weapon, placing them respectfully outside the pavilion.

  "Is this all the medicinal materials in your family?"Chen Xia glanced at them and asked calmly.

  The medicinal materials in front of him were a lot for an individual, but since Bai Wu had said he would bring all the medicinal materials from his family, it seemed rather meager.

  B Wu's body trembled. He knelt down respectfully on the ground and, not daring to lie, told the truth.

  "Father wouldn't let me take the family's medicinal materials. So I could only exchange all my personal assets for these and bring them all to you."

  He had been thoroughly cowed by Chen Xia and didn't dare to tell a single lie.

  Chen Xia got up from the chair. As the creaking sound of the chair rang out, Bai Wu's kneeling body trembled.

  "If you had been this polite earlier, how could you have been beaten? Beating you up can be considered as improving your moral character. I hope you'll remember this in the future."

  Chen Xia said with a light smile.

  "Th-thank you, sir."Bai Wu mimicked the tone of the cultivators in the Little Pill Hall and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

  Chen Xia didn't reply. Suddenly, he looked up.

  Another shadow that blotted out the sky fell, and a figure in a black robe landed on the peak of the Little Pill Hall, emitting an arrogant and overbearing voice.

  "I wondered why Wu'er had been acting strange since he returned home. So it was you, a human, causing trouble and bewitching my son's mind. Today, I'm going to grind your bones to ashes and hang your head at the entrance of the Little Pill Hall!"

  Bai Wu raised his head, looking completely stunned.

  Chen Xia, on the other hand, chuckled softly.

  Sure enough, like father, like son. Their entrances were exactly the same.
