Chapter 20 Killing Liang Lian and Entering Suzhou

Xu Xian lay on the rocking chair, swaying gently, sensing the changes within himself.

Since reaching level 14 and acquiring the Immaculate Body, Xu Xian's stats have surpassed those of ordinary demons.

Xu Xian didn't even need to hide himself to defeat the two barely transformed centipede and toad demons head-on.

Xu Xian lay on the rocking chair, feeling his strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, and was quite elated.

However, he also knew that time was still of the essence.

The threat from Fahai is imminent, and the plot on Calabash Mountain is also unfolding.

Judging from the timeline, the gourd seeds should have already been planted, and the gourd babies are about to be born.

Xu Xian must intervene in the Calabash Mountain storyline before the Snake Demon's treasure is destroyed in order to obtain it.

The best time, of course, is when the snake demon and scorpion demon are refining the Seven Star Pill.

At that time, the Calabash Brothers had already been subdued, and the Snake Demon and Scorpion Demon were complacent and least wary.

He can then subdue the demon and refine the Seven Star Pill to obtain an innate body.

After slaying the Green Serpent, you will naturally obtain the [Treasure Pouch].

Of course, there are still some minor details that need to be considered.

To obtain the perfect, innate, flawless body, Xu Xian must consume the Xuanhuang Seven Star Pill at level 20.

Both the snake and scorpion demons are level 36 monsters, possessing supernatural powers and magical treasures, making them no easy opponents.

Besides the monsters, the Calabash Brothers are also a headache.

Whether in the original story or the game, the Calabash Brothers seem to have a kind of "I think" power, which is quite unreasonable.

Xu Xian sometimes felt that if the seven gourd brothers shouted "Brothers united, their strength can break gold," even the Three Pure Ones would get a few slaps from them.

Therefore, it is still necessary to proceed with caution.

"To subdue the Calabash Brothers, you must first obtain the Seven-Colored Lotus, and then use the [Time-Based Eight Trigrams Furnace] and [Fiery Divine Pearl] in the Liang King's Mansion to suppress them directly. We must not give them any chance."

"If your cultivation level isn't high enough, use treasures to make up for it."

"According to the plot, Liang Lian should have already provoked Xiao Qing...and he's back?"

As Xu Xian was pondering to himself, he suddenly saw Xiao Qing return to the courtyard in a huff.

She broke off a green bamboo stalk and challenged Xu Xian to a contest.

Xu Xian naturally wouldn't refuse.

He already possessed 52 points of comprehension, and the mere green-quality skills [Heart-Piercing Tuberculosis] and [Wind-Listening Break] naturally merged into his understanding, reaching a state of perfection.

Its power far surpasses that of the past.

Xu Xian, wielding the Realgar White Sword, fought with Xiao Qing for a while, finally relieving her annoyance.

"How disgusting, I've run into a nasty guy!"

Xu Xian looked at Xiaoqing and suddenly asked, "Do you think it's permissible for demons to kill people at will?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing became angry again: "Of course not! Although calamities are ethereal and intangible, the more people you kill, the faster and stronger the calamity will come. Especially those with great merit and great fortune, they must not be killed."

Xu Xian deliberately feigned a puzzled expression: "But in the stories I read, most of the monsters kill people."

"Any demon that desires to achieve perfect merit will restrain itself. As for the demons you mentioned, they either have powerful backers, protected by gods and Buddhas, or they follow unorthodox paths... By the way, why are you asking these questions?"

Xiaoqing looked closely at Xu Xian, recalling the way he looked when he consumed the lingzhi herb.

The mysterious aura rising up stirred something within her.

Is this guy really as simple as he looks?

Xu Xian didn't answer, but instead asked, "How do you know so much about this?"

"cut!"

Knowing she wouldn't get anything out of him, Xiaoqing snorted and walked away.

Xu Xian then confirmed the rules of this world: cultivators indeed cannot attack mortals at will.

Compared to the complex mechanics of the real world, those in games are much simpler and more intuitive.

Apart from certain calamities that must be overcome at certain levels, most other calamities are related to good fortune.

The greater one's fortune, the fewer calamities one will experience.

Conversely, the more the better.

If you act recklessly in the game and kill those who have great fortune and luck, your own fortune will decrease accordingly, which will backfire on you.

During the game's closed beta testing.

One player, in order to test the power of his supernatural abilities, slaughtered the entire population of a city.

This caused the character's luck to be instantly reset to zero, and a bolt of lightning struck down, turning the character into ashes.

Xu Xian looked at his 23 points of fortune and muttered, "Liang Lian is a scoundrel. Killing him will only deduct one point of fortune, which is not much. Afterwards, I can go to Liang Wang's mansion to steal four treasures."

Liang Lian was a nobody, and Xu Xian didn't care about him.

But he is, after all, the heir of the Liang Prince's Mansion, which will lead to a series of troubles.

Xu Xian didn't want to waste time on side quests, so he simply killed him to end it all.

With that thought in mind, Xu Xian left home, and Xiao Qing secretly followed behind him.

Xu Xian naturally noticed Xiaoqing, but he pretended not to know.

Finding a secluded spot, Xu Xian activated the [Small Heavenly Cycle Hidden Formation] and headed towards Liang Lian's location.

When Xiaoqing arrived, Xu Xian was nowhere to be found.

"This guy really has changed after eating the Ganoderma lucidum..."

At this moment, on a secluded street in Hangzhou.

The servants placed the grand master's chair in the middle of the street, and Liang Lian sat on it.

Finally, the servants went from house to house, kicking down doors to find women of suitable age and bringing them to Liang Lian.

Liang Lian glanced at it twice and shook his head.

The servant then pulled the woman away and went off to enjoy himself.

For a moment, the entire street was filled with the laughter of servants and the cries of women.

The government officials and yamen runners dared not interfere, and even the local residents dared not resist.

Liang Lian was in a good mood.

As the heir of the Liang Prince's Mansion, ordinary methods could no longer arouse his interest.

This method is novel and can keep him entertained all day.

Xu Xian stood in the street, but no one could see him.

He unleashed his divine sense, locking onto Liang Lian and the servants around him, while chanting incantations.

There was no fluctuation, nor any strange aura.

Liang Lian and his servants suddenly felt something gripping their hearts, and their limbs stiffened for a moment.

He fell straight to the ground, completely unable to move.

The surrounding people, though unaware of the situation, knew it was a good time to escape, and they all fled.

Xu Xian watched this scene and waited quietly.

Stiffness in the limbs is only a secondary effect of tuberculosis; the primary effect is pain.

It was heartbreaking, yet there was nothing I could do.

With his limbs stiff, he couldn't even open his mouth to make a sound.

Xu Xian's gaze towards Liang Lian and his servants shifted from shock to fear, then to despair and madness.

"In the midst of excruciating pain, your souls have scattered. Even a great immortal could save you... a great immortal might be able to save you, but the cultivators of Hangzhou cannot."

After saying that, Xu Xian turned around and left.

The Liang Prince's Mansion is in Suzhou, and it takes four or five days to travel there and back. Xu Xian needs to appease Bai Suzhen first.

Besides the Liang Prince's Mansion, Suzhou also has another story in the series, "The Frightened Bird," which includes a supernatural ability to ride the wind.

In the future, Xu Xian will often have to travel around Hangzhou and the surrounding mountains, and he can't rely on just his two legs.

Therefore, in addition to the four treasures of the Liang Prince's Mansion, I also need to acquire supernatural powers on this trip to Suzhou.

Back home, Xu Xian explained to Bai Suzhen that the doctor at the clinic needed him to go to Suzhou to retrieve a certain medicine.

Bai Suzhen wanted to come along, but Xu Xian naturally refused: "My wife, please rest at home. Leave the travel and tiring journey to me."

Bai Suzhen prepared travel expenses for him and waited at home.

Xu Xian rented a small boat on the riverbank and headed towards Suzhou.

The Liang Prince's Mansion is located in Suzhou, which is not close to Hangzhou.

Xu Xian rowed out of Hangzhou, found a secluded spot to stop the boat, and jumped into the water.

A moment later, a bruised and swollen old turtle surfaced, a toad demon core still in its mouth: "Immortal, if I take you to Suzhou, this demon core will be mine? This is the demon core of a transformed demon, extremely precious!"

Xu Xian punched the old turtle on the head: "The demon core is already in your mouth, do you think I can pry it out? Besides, you've already asked seven or eight times! If you keep nagging, I'll beat you up again!"

"Yes, yes! I was just confirming, that's all."

"Let's get going!"

The turtle immediately dived into the water and pulled the small boat forward quickly.

It is fast and stable.

As Xu Xian felt the gentle breeze on his face, he had a strange feeling of riding the wind, as if he really had the supernatural power to fly through the clouds.

The old turtle was fast; it arrived outside Suzhou city half a day later.

Before Xu Xian could speak, the old turtle swallowed the pill in its mouth and quickly ran away.

"..."

I'll give you a good review later.

Xu Xian uttered a cryptic remark and stepped into Suzhou City.
