chapter 429: chapter 129: cleansing spirit elixir
from the conversation between the woman in white and lin jing just now, zhang jian had also guessed the identity of this woman.
she was the one who had destroyed the black shark gang, a person from the ice god palace.
thinking of his own actions just a moment ago, zhang jian was filled with regret and wished he could slap himself several times.
at this time, the woman in white directly emitted a stream of white cold air from her fingertips, and upon touching the jade slip, the jade slip immediately shattered into countless fragments, falling onto the table.
afterward, the woman in white extended her hand and swept over the table, causing the jade slip to turn directly into powder and disappear without a trace.
then, the woman in white turned to zhang jian and said,
“you were able to get a jade slip from the ice god palace, and that was your luck…”
“this jade slip was left behind by a traitor of our ice god palace. i came out from the inner sea to hunt down this traitor.”
at this point, the woman in white’s gaze turned icy, staring directly at zhang jian:
“besides this time, have you shown it to anyone else?”
zhang jian hurriedly shook his head and said,
“senior…”
“this is the only time. it’s the first time i’ve shown it to someone since i found this jade slip.”
the woman in white kept staring at him, and naturally, zhang jian didn’t dare to lie.
after a moment, the woman in white nodded and said,
“considering that you haven’t shown it to anyone else, i will not punish you this time.”
zhang jian was just about to sigh in relief when the woman in white spoke again:
“however…”
“you had intentions of disgracing me, and this cannot be let go so easily.”
upon hearing this, zhang jian’s heart leapt to his throat.
lin jing also tried to intercede at this time,
“senior…”
“although zhang jian can be unreliable at times, he is actually quite a good person. i hope senior can show mercy.”
the woman in white let out a cold snort:
“hmph!”
“there’s no need for further words. his crime may not merit death, but it also cannot be so easily forgiven.”
“considering he has come upon this jade slip, he has also reduced some trouble for our ice god palace.”
“i am someone who repays kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge.”
“his finding of the jade slip prevented it from being leaked, which counts as a kindness, but his intention to disgrace me counts as revenge…”
having said that, the woman in white pointed directly at zhang jian.
a stream of cold ice spiritual power rushed into zhang jian’s body, causing his face to drastically change as he hurriedly checked his own condition.
apart from a mass of cold ice spiritual power in his dantian, there were no other abnormalities.
at that point, the woman in white said,
“i have left a strand of pure spiritual power inside you. this power can assist you in reaching the golden core peak in a short period of time.”
“but correspondingly, every time you break through, you will experience the pain of frostbone erosion.”
after hearing this, zhang jian was stunned for a moment. he had thought it was going to be punishment, but to his surprise, it turned out to be a great opportunity given to him, and he was overjoyed.
so zhang jian quickly bowed his head in thanks:
“thank you, senior…”
even lin jing, upon hearing this, was filled with envy. it wasn’t easy to find the opportunity to reach golden core peak so quickly.
zhang jian was indeed incredibly lucky.
and this woman in white was truly generous. she gave away the black shark gang leader’s space ring without any hesitation.
and zhang jian, even after offending her so, had even caused lin jing to break out in a cold sweat with his words and actions.
but unexpectedly, because of the jade slip, he was directly granted a tremendous opportunity.
……
the woman in white just chuckled coldly and said,
“i hope after you’ve experienced the pain of frostbone erosion, you can still be grateful to me.”
zhang jian quickly stated his position:
“senior has granted me such a great opportunity, let alone the pain of frostbone erosion, even if i have to endure flaying and deboning, i can bear it.”
zhang jian confidently boasted.
little did he know.
after experiencing the pain of frostbone erosion, zhang jian began to question his life.
it even caused him to develop a psychological shadow.
even hundreds of years later in the nascent soul stage, whenever he heard the words “cold ice,” his entire body would shiver uncontrollably.
all of this was the retribution the woman in white had in store for zhang jian…
……
the woman in white no longer responded but turned to lin jing and zhang jian and said,
“i do not wish for anyone to leak the matter regarding the black shark gang.”
lin jing nodded and said,
“don’t worry, senior…”
“we will absolutely not disclose this incident.”
as a joke, to reveal this matter would be tantamount to being as weary of life as zhang jian himself…
at this moment, zhang jian also hurriedly said,
“please be assured, senior, i will definitely keep the secret.”
subsequently, the woman in white looked at zhang jian and said,
“also, i hope you keep the content of that jade slip to yourself; if a second person knows, i think you understand the consequences.”
zhang jian quickly nodded and said,
“please be assured, senior.”
then, zhang jian raised three fingers to the sky and said,
“i, zhang jian, solemnly swear upon my soul spirit that i will never reveal the contents of the jade slip. if i disclose it to a second person, i, zhang jian, shall die under the heavenly tribulation, my soul scattered to the winds.”
seeing zhang jian take an oath upon his soul spirit, the woman in white’s expression softened considerably, and then she said to zhang jian,
“mm…”
“stand up…”
following that, the woman in white took out three white elixirs and, with a wave of her hand, sent them with spiritual power to zhang jian, saying,
“since you know the score, i’ll give you these three antidotes. you may take them when you break through to reduce the pain of frostbone erosion.”
upon hearing this, zhang jian quickly stood up, respectfully received the elixir medicine, and then bowed deeply to the woman in white,
“thank you, senior…”
“and…” the woman in white nodded, then continued,
“you will come with me later to the place where you found that jade slip.”
zhang jian hurriedly said,
“yes, senior…”
following this.
the woman in white spoke to lin jing:
