Chapter 4: Manly Vigor (2/2)

He indicated to the five people who had already admitted defeat. Meanwhile, Wang Lin and Li Chao, who had been keeping their heads down and not speaking, sensed that something was wrong.

”Actually, it's useless for me to keep your jade tokens. Right now, the two of them still have five legs left. If each of you break one, I will return your jade tokens to you.”

He said: ”Think about it, two years as an odd-job servant or begin your immortal journey immediately. Think about it yourselves.”

Jiang Li's words were like a devil's whisper. In an instant, the five people looked at Wang Lin and Liu Chao differently.

”Hey! Hey! What are you guys trying to do?! He's trying to sow discord between us! I'm the son of the first wife! If you guys dare to lay your hands on me, my father will definitely not let you guys off!”

It would have been better if he had not said that, but now that he did, the other five immediately became even angrier.

Just because you are the legitimate sons! We have always been your lackeys! You are the ones who caused this trouble, yet you want us to bear it together!

We are already a few hundred kilometers away from the Great Goose Kingdom, and nobody can even fly back! How can they still use their status as the legitimate son to suppress us!

Once we become immortals, we can disregard the entire Great Goose Kingdom. Why should we be afraid of you?

The more they thought about it, the angrier they got. The more they thought about it, the more daring they became. They started to touch the stones beside them.

”Hey, hey! Jiang Li! I'm willing to hand over the spirit stones! I'm willing to hand over the spirit stones!”

”It's too late now!”

In the forest, miserable screams rang out one after another, causing the young men and women in the convoy outside to look at each other, not knowing what was happening.

They subconsciously thought that Jiang Li had suffered another inhuman beating.

However, the screams clearly came from several different people. They really could not imagine what was going on.

After a long time, Jiang Li walked out with a pile of swords in his arms under the watchful eyes of fifty or sixty soon-to-be cultivators. He was in high spirits and his clothes were neat and tidy. It was impossible to tell that he had been tortured.

Behind him, five disciples of the Wang and Li families dragged Wang Lin and Li Chao out of the forest.

Seeing that all of them were injured and were still keeping a distance from Jiang Li in fear, how could the onlookers not know that they had suffered a loss? It was actually this ”lecher” Jiang Li who won!

Oh wait, since Jiang Li won, he should be called Young Master Jiang now.

As Jiang Li approached, the crowd automatically opened up a path.

He walked to Yan Hong, picked out the best of the seven swords, and returned it to him. After thanking him, he brought his spoils of war back to the carriage.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

It seemed that his actions had not crossed the bottom line of those three cultivators.

That night, he offended those few cultivators while cultivating. Although he did not know what they were thinking, their way of handling Jiang Li could be said to be quite gentle.

From this, it could be deduced that the three Immortal Cultivators were more inclined towards kindness and order.

Amongst these people, Jiang Li was afraid that one of them would like to uphold justice.

Even if they did not, at the very least, he could not choose to kill the few of them who made up ten percent of the potential cultivators in the convoy.

The reason was simple. If recruiting new blood was a mission for the Immortal Masters, and Jiang Li affected their mission, he would most likely die an ugly death.

Thus, even though he had a reason to take revenge, he did not go overboard.

In the end, he even used the jade token to sow discord to deal with the culprit.

This way, he could divide the relationship between the seven of them and reduce any future trouble.

He could also divert the trouble to a certain extent. Even if the Immortal Cultivators leading the team were dissatisfied, the punishment would be lighter.

It seemed that his actions were still within their tolerance level.

Now, he had time to look at the loot.

There were a total of eight spirit stones, and he found another five on Wang Lin and Li Chao.

There were two jade tokens, but they were temporarily useless. When they arrived, he could see if there was a chance to sell them.

He could keep the gold and silver for now. After all, the secular world was the foundation of the cultivation world. It might be useful in the future.

There were also three bottles of pills.

One bottle was filled with healing medicine. After using appraisal, Jiang Li directly poured more than ten pills into his stomach.

[Consumed Golden Toad Pill. Added Status: Slow Healing]

[Slow Healing: Regenerates 2 Health Points per hour. Duration: 4 hours] (− +)

[Overdose of Golden Toad Pills. Added Status: Promoted Healing]

[Promoted Healing: Regenerates 4 Health Points per hour. Duration: 6 hours] (− +)

Jiang Li was stunned by the series of notifications. It turned out that other than the prescribed dosage, some medicinal pills could also be consumed in excess.

For ordinary people, consuming too much of it would be a waste of medicinal effects and excessive side effects. It was not worth it.

But for him, this was a simple action that could increase his bonuses.

After pressing for five seconds and turning [Promoted Healing] into a permanent status, he looked at the other two bottles of pills.

He scanned them with appraisal.

Dragon Essence Tiger Six Flavors Pill… Why did this name sound like it was used in bed?

These two guys were indeed not good people. They came here to seek immortality and pursue the Dao, yet they actually brought this kind of thing, and each of them even had a bottle. They really deserved to die.

This new status directly increased his constitution by 0.5. Indeed, this pill gave him manly vigor!

Knock knock~

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.

Jiang Li opened the small wooden door of the carriage and peeked his head out to see a girl he did not know.

”Jiang Li, I… I saw that you didn't eat dinner, so if you don't mind, please eat mine.”

She shyly handed over a wooden plate. Other than steamed buns on half of the plate, the meat and soup were intact as well.

”Thank you.” Jiang Li took the plate and came out of the carriage to thank her.

”You're welcome, my name is… my name is… Ah!”

Before she could say her name, the girl who had her head lowered suddenly blushed. She covered her eyes and ran away immediately.

Jiang Li was a little puzzled at first. He lowered his head and realized that his third leg had changed from sitting to standing upright.
