Chapter 36 Call me brother
His eyes seemed to burn with a flame, a flame that leaped and burned, radiating a fierce desire to win.
Jing Shu looked at Zheng Hongliang, a slight smile playing on his lips. Very good.
At this moment, the waiter brought out the dishes.
"Let's eat. We'll go tonight. This time, only the two of us can go to the Secret Realm." Jing Shu ended the conversation first.
Zheng Hongliang calmed his newly ignited fighting spirit and ate quietly. He had thought that this was how his life would be, and even if he were still alive, he would be like a walking corpse.
Since Jing Shu has given him a second chance to live, he will certainly live up to expectations.
After the meal, Jing Shu took Zheng Hongliang to the Secret Realm.
"Eat this." Jing Shulu handed Zheng Hongliang a pill.
Zheng Hongliang accepted the pill without hesitation, swallowed it, and then asked, "What is this?"
"Disguise Pill, as I said, this time in the Secret Realm, only the two of us can participate." Jing Shu also took a disguise pill and pulled Zheng Hongliang into the Secret Realm.
Compared to the Yao Guang Secret Realm, the Secret Child Realm was much smaller. As soon as Jing Shu landed, he dispersed his spiritual power. In this place where there was almost no spiritual power, everyone else in the Secret Child Realm could feel it, and they all used their spiritual power to protect themselves in case someone ambushed them.
Zheng Hongliang looked at Jing Shu with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he was going to such lengths to release his spiritual power.
Jing Shu withdrew his spiritual power in the next moment. Besides them, there were five other people, but their cultivation levels were not high. Among them, three of them had red spiritual power fluctuations.
"You still have the Swiftness Talisman, right?"
"Yes, yes." Jing Shu suddenly spoke, catching Zheng Hongliang off guard.
"Then come with me."
After speaking, Jing Shu disappeared from the spot. This time, Jing Shu didn't look after him and moved very quickly. Zheng Hongliang also used two cards to barely keep up.
Then, he saw Jing Shu kill three people and throw the other two out of the Secret Realm in less than half an hour.
Zheng Hongliang watched all this with a serious expression. The two who were thrown out seemed to have just started cultivating and had accidentally wandered in. As for the other three, they were all killed with a single blow; the victims didn't even have time to react before they lost their lives.
Jing Shu coldly burned the last corpse, saying, "Evil cultivators, their deaths are not a pity."
Zheng Hongliang was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled, "No need to explain, you are my master, whatever you do is right."
"Don't call me master," Jing Shu said.
"?"
“Disgusting.” Jing Shu looked at Zheng Hongliang and slowly uttered these two words.
"..."
"Then, Master?" Zheng Hongliang changed his words; otherwise, he felt uneasy calling Jing Shu by his name all the time.
“No way.” Jing Shu refused without even thinking. Having received a modern education, he didn’t want to play the feudal game.
"Can't you just call me by my name?" Jing Shu said speechlessly.
Zheng Hongliang shook his head and explained, "I feel guilty calling you by your name."
"how old are you?"
"Twenty-five," Zheng Hongliang answered honestly. "What's wrong?"
She's younger than him.
"Call me brother."
Zheng Hongliang hesitated for a moment, "Um, I think I'm older than you, right?"
He remembered that Jing Shu was about six years old when he became a disciple six years ago, and now he is only twelve years old. He must have had a special opportunity to grow so tall, but he couldn't lie and say that he was older than him just because of his height, could he?
Jing Shu raised an eyebrow. "Then call me father?"
"..." Zheng Hongliang quickly shook his head, his eyes firm, and said, "Brother."
Although he didn't want that father anymore, it's even stranger that he's now recognizing a new one!
Having resolved the issue of address, Jing Shu pricked his fingertip and drew a magic circle towards the entrance of the Secret Realm in the sky, "Seal."
The magic array gradually disappeared into the entrance of the Secret Child Realm, and the entrance to the Secret Child Realm also disappeared.
This way, no one else can get in. Jing Shu thought to himself as he looked at the vanished entrance.
He figured this out using information given to him by Xu Yaoguang. The essence of the Secret Realm is formed by abnormal fluctuations in the spiritual energy of a region. By altering these fluctuations, he could control the opening and closing of the entrances and exits of the already formed Secret Realm. It seemed useless, but it was very practical for him.
Zheng Hongliang was numb; anything that seemed unreasonable to Jing Shu now seemed reasonable. So what if he simply closed the entrance to the Secret Realm? He had just remotely judged whether someone was a heretical cultivator!
Jing Shu took out two green fruits from his storage ring and threw them to Zheng Hongliang. "These are millennium-level Marrow Cleansing Fruits. Go find a lake first and expel the impurities from your body, otherwise you won't be able to endure the rest."
Zheng Hongliang caught the fruit and turned to leave.
Beneath the calm exterior, however, lay shock. Were millennium-level Marrow Cleansing Fruits such commonplace? And to be given two at once, just to help him expel impurities! Wasn't this better suited for Foundation Establishment cultivators?!
Just how rich is my brother? No, how rich is Immortal Venerable Hanluo?! To be able to spend so much money like this!
Jing Shu watched, somewhat speechless, as Zheng Hongliang walked further and further away, his hands and feet moving in unison.
Can he really survive the process of rebuilding his spiritual root? Jing Shu suddenly began to question his own decision.
While Zheng Hongliang was eating the Marrow Cleansing Fruit, Jing Shu refined a lot of Bigu Pills for future use.
"Why are you refining so many fasting pills? Didn't you already fast a long time ago?" A voice suddenly rang out, and then a miniature version of Jing Shu floated out from his dantian.
The Nascent Soul cultivator frowned as he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. "Where is this? There's not a trace of spiritual energy. Didn't we return to the Cloud Burial Sect with Master?"
He only slept for a few more days, how did he end up in a different place? And the spiritual energy is so low, could he have transmigrated again?
The pills in the alchemy furnace gradually took shape. Jing Shu did not focus on answering the Nascent Soul's questions, but simply shared all the memories of the past few days.
The nascent soul froze completely, floating motionless in mid-air.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the pill was ready. Jing Shu took out the pill, put it back into the alchemy furnace, and then turned to look at the Nascent Soul.
"After absorbing the divine essence, you've actually been able to stand on your own." Jing Shu looked at the nascent soul, which seemed to have a physical form, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Not only that, Jing Shu also discovered that he could no longer empathize with the nascent soul's thoughts.
"You actually figured it out so quickly?!" The Nascent Soul looked at Jing Shu in disbelief.
"?"
“You’re still facing your master…” The nascent soul didn’t finish the sentence, but Jing Shu understood.
"Ahem, this was an accident." Jing Shu's eyes darted around, and he seemed a little guilty.
"You fucking ran away before you even confessed?!" The Nascent Soul cultivator exploded, he was truly furious!
Originally, I thought it would be a long time before Jing Shu would be enlightened, and that he could keep an eye on his master inside the ancient jade during this time, and maybe even sneak out to pester his master.
Well, that's great! In less than five days, Jing Shu had an epiphany, and he actually ran away overnight after that! Not only did he run away, but he also took a pink butterfly flower from his master's head, had it sealed in tree sap, and now he's wearing it around his own neck!
