Chapter 146 Kidnapping Nalan Jing, the Flaw in Body Cultivation

Faced with this issue, the Second Elder sighed and said, “Sigh.”

“If Wu Li also joins the Purple House Sacred Ground, then we can only tighten our belts and cultivate together.”

“I never expected having too many Heavenly Prodigies could become a problem; it really is helpless!”

“Indeed, every family has its own difficult scriptures, our Purple House Sacred Ground is in trouble!”

Everyone: “……”

Although we are on the same side as you, your ostentatious behavior is quite annoying.

Having said that, how can we act pretentious?

……

At the boundary stone.

“Ah~”

“It hurts so much!”

Chen Changsheng gasped, then continuously stuffed Dan Pills into his mouth.

Although he won that battle, Chen Changsheng realized the flaw in “body cultivation,” which was its huge consumption.

The Golden Core system, while not as powerful as the “body cultivation” system, makes restoring lost limbs quite manageable as long as the Golden Core remains intact.

However, the “body cultivation” system is not that simple.

Body cultivation treats the entire body as a vessel, carrying immense power.

Once a limb suffers a defect, the resources required to repair it would be astronomical.

After ten breaths, supported by the exquisite silk from the Golden Silkworm and a large number of Dan Pills, Chen Changsheng’s right hand finally recovered.

Looking at the tender skin, Chen Changsheng murmured, “This problem is indeed a bit troublesome. It seems I should focus on enhancing the physical body.”

“The recovery from Dan Pills takes time. If I can’t achieve rapid rebirth from severed limbs, I’ll always be vulnerable during battles with masters.”

Muttering a few words casually, Chen Changsheng already had a rough direction in mind.

Setting up an array formation to prevent prying eyes, Chen Changsheng picked up Little Black nearby.

“Good Little Black, I never expected you to be the divine beast Zhi Ze. After so many days together, you’ve fooled me quite well.”

In response to Chen Changsheng’s “complaint,” Little Black glanced at him and immediately began to sleep.

Although it didn’t make a sound, Little Black’s expression said it all.

First, I obviously can’t speak right now, there’s no way to tell you.

Second, do you know why I’m called “Zhi Ze”? Because my fur is Zhi-colored.

You actually call me “Little Black,” don’t you have any conscience?

Seeing that Little Black ignored him, Chen Changsheng grinned and rubbed its Zhi-colored fur, saying, “What a silly dog with silly blessings. According to logic, you should definitely be doomed, yet I unexpectedly found a way to save you.”

“So in the coming time, I guess I’ll be busy for you again.”

“I raised you from a pup, you can’t become an ungrateful wolf in the future.”

“Ugh~”

Little Black opened its eyes and barked at Chen Changsheng.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng immediately understood Little Black’s meaning.

“I’ve done enough on A-Li’s side; the rest is up to him.”

“According to Zhang Zhenren, once the Heavenly Mandate Holder steps into the seventh realm, fundamentally, there should be nothing that can threaten him.”

“Even if there really is some threat to A-Li, it’s not something I can handle.”

“Eventually, birds must learn to fly on their own; I can’t protect him forever.”

“Once A-Li and Nalan Jing’s matters are resolved, I can finally retire.”

After hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Little Black yawned and continued sleeping, while Chen Changsheng smiled and watched the distant battle.

No feast lasts forever, and this one is nearing its end.

……

In a certain valley.

“Ah-choo!”

A-Li, lying in ambush, rubbed his sore nose and puzzledly said, “I always feel like someone is talking about me. Could it be that someone is trying to set me up?”

Hearing this, a person beside A-Li laughed and said, “Who else could it be? That girl Huai Yu has been talking about you.”

“Impossible, that girl is heartless. After going out, she has been playing madly; how could she think of me?”

“I don’t know why, but lately, I’ve felt a strange unease in my heart; this feeling is odd and hard to describe.”

“Tsk tsk!”

“Boss, don’t tell me the Red-String Star is activated; our Seventy-two Smoke Signals might gain another wife!”

“Get lost!”

“Stop chatting nonsense; women are just a hassle. I have no interest in that.”

“I received news that the Purple House Sacred Lord will pass by this route; then we can kidnap her.”

“Once successful, we won’t have to worry about resources for the next decade.”

“But when we act, we must be careful; we cannot harm the Purple House Sacred Lord.”

“Ah?”

In response to Wu Li’s command, everyone looked troubled.

“Boss, this might be difficult. There are many masters around the Purple House Sacred Lord.”

“If we don’t go all out, how can we possibly defeat them?”

“This is an order; stop bargaining here.”

Suppressing the internal dissent, Wu Li was also filled with confusion.

Some time ago, Xiancha relayed news that the Purple House Sacred Lord would pass through here.

Furthermore, he required that she be captured without harming the Purple House Sacred Lord in the process.

Looking at this request, Wu Li thought for two hours and still couldn’t understand why Xiancha wanted to do this.

Having recently joined the Purple House Sacred Ground, by all accounts, the Purple House Sacred Ground is an ally; why would Xiancha want me to kidnap the Purple House Sacred Lord?

Although he couldn’t comprehend Chen Changsheng’s actions, Wu Li still chose to execute the order.

After an unknown amount of time, a stunning figure appeared in the valley.

Seeing this, Wu Li immediately activated the great formation, and soon appeared before Nalan Jing.

“Hahaha!”

“This mountain is mine, this tree I planted. If you want to pass, leave behind some money for the road!”

“Your Excellency, Purple House Sacred Lord, it seems you’re not having much luck!”

Looking at the masked man before her, Nalan Jing raised her lips and said lightly, “The leader of the Seventy-two Smoke Signals, how coarse. I thought you could come up with something more creative.”

Wu Li: “……”

I came to kidnap, not to propose; what new tricks do you want? Is this girl out of her mind?

After silently criticizing Nalan Jing’s behavior, Wu Li coldly said, “Less chatter, surrender quickly, and don’t expect anyone to rescue you.”

“The formation I laid down prevents outsiders from entering for a while.”

“Don’t worry, the elders have already returned through another route. Within a thousand kilometers, I’m the only one from the Purple House Sacred Ground.”

“If you want to capture me, you’ll have to show some genuine skills.”

“Furthermore, soldier against soldier, general against general; are you really counting on numbers to suppress me, Wu Li?”

Wu Li: ???

I feel like you’re intentionally delivering yourself here, but without evidence, you’re making things difficult for me!

“Hmph!”

“This little girl certainly talks big. If that’s the case, let me meet this Purple House Sacred Lord of yours.”

After that, Wu Li immediately threw a punch at Nalan Jing.

However, while punching, Wu Li held back his strength.

Having stepped into the sixth realm, if he accidentally harmed her, Xiancha would probably not deal with it well.
