At this moment, Shi Ling had no choice but to flee. He could sense that the power of Ying Hua's eyes were fading, and there would be a period of time when Shi Ling would be extremely weak. Therefore, Shi Ling had to think of a way to escape as soon as possible.

However, Zhang Yuquan's hysterical roar rang out from behind Shi Ling. Ignoring it, he quickened his pace and used Ghost Shadow Slaughter as he escaped, causing his speed to increase by several fold.

Ghost Shadow Kill could increase Shi Ling's movement speed when fighting with other people, in order to maximize the power of his attacks. It could also be used as a tool to increase his speed when he was escaping.

Very soon, all the people charging over were left behind by Shi Ling. Seeing this, Shi Ling could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Luckily, he had created this martial art, Ghost Shadow Kill, or else he would have died here.

In fact, most of it was borrowed from the techniques of the Broken Shadow Slaughter. Back then, after Shi Ling obtained the Shadow Slaughter and practiced it for about five days, Shi Ling had discovered that although the Shadow Slaughter could explode with a powerful force in an instant, his own body would be extremely weak after that power erupted. If he were to forcefully activate the Fa Li in his body, it would be very easy for his foundation to be damaged.

Therefore, Shi Ling extracted the movement part of Shadow Killer and added some thoughts into it. After a few more experiments, he had finally acquired the Ghastly Shadow.

Of course, there was a difference between the Ghost Shadow Slaughter and the Shadow Slaughter. One was a Level 1 Martial Arts while the other was a Level 2 Martial Art. One focused on movement speed and the other on explosive power.

Not long later, Shi Ling broke into a forest. This place was filled with a lot of towering trees, as well as a lot of dense fog. If Shi Ling were to hide here, it would be very difficult for him to be discovered.

At that moment, Shi Ling stomped his feet on the ground and jumped onto a tree. The Mysterious Wood Sword immediately pierced a hole in the tree and without a word, Shi Ling charged into it.

Afterwards, he buried many branches at the entrance of the tree to ensure that he would not be discovered. Then, he sat cross-legged inside the tree hole, trying his best to suppress his aura to a minimum so that no one could sense him.

Following which, the blooming blue pupils in Shi Ling's eyes disappeared, and a sense of weakness arose in his heart. At this moment, Shi Ling's face was extremely pale, and he immediately took out a Star Origin Fruit from his storage ring to eat, recovering from his injuries first.

Following which, the Star Origin Fruit's flesh melted into Shi Ling's body, and a wave of pure medicinal energy flowed into every part of Shi Ling's body. For a moment, Shi Ling felt a warm feeling enveloping him, causing the injuries on his back to slowly recover.

At this moment, Shi Ling took out the Imperial Green Stone and placed it in front of him. Immediately, he began to absorb the Imperial Green Stone's Imperial Green Spirit Qi in order to recover his physical strength. Next, Shi Ling took out a white pill from his storage ring and immediately, he opened his mouth and threw the pill into his mouth.

The name of the pill was "White Spirit Pill", it was a type of pill that contained spirit energy. The alchemist used a special method to absorb spirit energy into the herbal concoction and then refined it into the current White Spirit Pill. Its main function was to recover the power of a cultivator, and the abundant spirit energy contained within it was enough for Shi Ling to completely recover his power.

A single pill was worth a hundred gold coins, and it was a one-time use product. Once it was used up, there would be no pills left, and an alchemist would only need a few hours to concoct one batch, so the cost would be around twenty to thirty gold coins.

When Shi Ling thought of this, he felt that all the alchemists were a bunch of swindlers. After spending several hours, they could produce forty to fifty White Spirit Pills at twenty to thirty gold coins. This was equivalent to forty to fifty thousand gold coins.

Shi Ling couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Everyone says that being an alchemist is the richest profession in the world. Now that I think about it, there's nothing wrong with it."

Soon, Shi Ling could feel that the White Spirit Pill in his body had already been consumed. Then, a dense amount of spiritual energy began to flow into Shi Ling's magic source, causing it to glow once more.

Only then did Shi Ling heave a sigh of relief. Now, he only needed to wait for his stamina and mana to recover before he could seek revenge on Zhang Yuquan.

He had never thought of provoking anyone, nor had he ever threatened the interests of the Zhang Family. However, they had come over and over again to kill him, even if it was just a clay figurine, it would still be somewhat angry, let alone a human. Therefore, after this round, Shi Ling would bring Zhang Yuquan along to kill him.

However, at this moment, Shi Ling's eyes widened. He felt pain in his back, and it felt as if there was something crawling within his body. His skin even turned green at this moment.

Suddenly, Shi Ling's pupils constricted. He recalled the scene when that charming woman used the dart green leaf to shoot at his back. Immediately, he muttered under his breath, "There's poison on that thing!"

As he said this, traces of blood started to seep out of the corner of his mouth. Although the Star Origin Fruit was known as the healing panacea of the cultivation world, it did not have the ability to detoxify the poison.

He felt as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out. Immediately, he shook his head vigorously and began to form a seal with his hand, attempting to use his mana to force the poison out of his body. However, the poison simply could not be suppressed.

Shi Ling spat out a mouthful of blood again and his face immediately turned deathly pale. The scenery in front of him became even more blurry and there were even multiple shadows. Immediately, he closed his eyes and fainted.

"..."

Outside the forest, a wretched looking person was hiding among the flowers. He was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out very high. His gaze was fixed on a palm-sized flower before him.

The perverted man stretched out a hand and gently threw away the dirt. Then, he slowly pulled the roots of the crystal clear flower out of the soil. Although his appearance was vulgar, his movements were extremely meticulous.

Immediately, he stood up and raised the flower up high with one hand. He said, "Awesome, I didn't expect that I, Gongsun Jie, would be so lucky to be able to find a hundred year old Half Immortal Lotus. Ahahaha."

After saying that, Gongsun Jie took out a petri dish that was shaped like a flower pot from his storage ring. He gently placed the half-immortal lotus into the petri dish and a complacent expression appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, a loud shout could be heard, "Who is there? Come out!"

When Gongsun Jie heard this voice, his brows slightly furrowed. At this moment, he was in a very good mood when he suddenly felt displeased when someone shouted at him.

At that moment, Gongsun Jie turned around and saw a bunch of people rushing towards him. With a single glance, he recognized these people; they were all disciples of the Zhang family and had been following Zhang Yuquan in the past. Why was he looking for him?

Could he be here to steal my pill? When Gongsun Jie thought of this, he immediately put the medicine box on his back and glared at the group of people charging towards him.

These disciples were very clear on who Gongsun Jie was. He was the son of the Alchemy Hall Master, not to mention them, even their master, Zhang Yuquan, did not dare to provoke him.

When Gongsun Jie saw that these fellows were actually escaping, he revealed a puzzled expression. He thought to himself, just what the hell are they doing?

Immediately, he looked around and found that there were many members of the Zhang Clan walking around the forest. It looked like they were looking for something or someone.

When Gongsun Jie saw this, he whispered, "What are these people doing?"

As he spoke, an idea flashed through his mind as he exclaimed, "Could it be that they found the Jade Announcement to promote their cultivation in this forest?"

Afterwards, he took out the atlas he had obtained from Qin Guang. Looking at it, he discovered that this place was indeed hidden by the Ascension Jade. After looking at the Zhang Clan members' appearances, Gongsun Jie was even more sure that they were looking for this item.

After that, Gongsun Jie followed those people and searched around the forest. Because of Gongsun Jie's status, those people from the Zhang Clan did not dare to stop him when they saw him following them.

For the next two hours, Gongsun Jie followed these people and ran around everywhere. However, he didn't find anything, which made Gongsun Jie very angry. He pointed at one of the Zhang disciples and said, "Hey, you, come here!"

The Zhang Clan member exclaimed. After confirming that Gongsun Jie was calling him, he had no choice but to brace himself and walk over. He asked, "Um, senior brother Gongsun, do you have any instructions?"

Although he and Gongsun Jie shared the same standing in the sect, Gongsun Jie's status was enough for him to call Gongsun Jie his senior brother.

Gongsun Jie looked around at the trees, then said to him, "Do you know where the promotions are hidden? We've already searched for more than two hours, why haven't we seen anything? "

The Zhang Clan disciple was somewhat stupefied. He rubbed his head and said, "Senior Brother Gongsun, please forgive this junior's stupidity. Do you not understand what you are saying?"

Gongsun Jie was also stunned for a moment before saying, "Aren't you guys looking for a promotions jade ultimatum?"

He immediately recounted everything that happened to Shi Ling and Zhang Yuquan. After hearing that, Gongsun Jie had the urge to cry to death in the latrine, wasting so much of his time just to find someone who had nothing to do with him. This was the greatest joke in the world.

When the Zhang disciples saw the gloomy expression on Gongsun Jie's face, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "About that, Senior Brother Gongsun, can I leave now?"

Gongsun Jie shouted at the disciple: "Get lost!"

Gongsun Jie was so angry that his teeth were itching. What the f * ck was this? After seeing that all the Zhang disciples had left, he was so angered that he kicked a tree in front of him, causing it to tremble. Gongsun Jie's strength was at the initial Body Tempering stage, and his physical strength was at the strength of four raging bulls.

In addition to Gongsun Jie's current state of mind, he kicked several more times on the tree, causing the leaves on the tree to fall.

At this moment, a figure fell down from the tree and landed beside Gongsun Jie with a thud. Gongsun Jie screamed out in fear before retreating. He had thought that someone was trying to ambush him.

Looking over, the figure that suddenly appeared was a youth covered in green. Gongsun Jie frowned as he examined Shi Ling. As an alchemist, he could tell that Shi Ling had been poisoned.

At that moment, Gongsun Jie arrived beside Shi Ling and looked at the branches on his body. Then, he raised his head to look at the big tree and couldn't help but exclaim: "You must be the person the Zhang Family is looking for, right? "Hehe, you can think of hiding in that place, no wonder they can't find it."

With that, he took out Shi Ling's hand and placed a pinky finger on Shi Ling's pulse. His heart was in chaos as he looked at Shi Ling's green face. Then, he opened his mouth and said, "It seems he's poisoned."

After finishing his sentence, Gongsun Jie carried Shi Ling on his back and said: "You're lucky today that you ran into me. Otherwise, you would have lost your life."

After which, he jumped up into the air and returned to the tree hole that Shi Ling had dug earlier. After roughly taking a look at the space in this place and barely able to accommodate two people, Gongsun Jie entered the tree and laid Shi Ling down flat on the ground in front of him.

After that, Gongsun Jie took out a row of silver needles from his medicine chest. He pinched one of the silver needles with two fingers and injected mana into it, before inserting it into the various acupoints on Shi Ling's chest. At the same time, he took out a small jade bottle and poured out a round pill from within.

Then, Gongsun Jie began to form a seal with his hands. Instantly, a strange air current surrounded Gongsun Jie's body and poured into his hands, causing his hands to gradually turn silvery-white.

Gongsun Jie struck the top of Shi Ling's head, and then a dense mana poured into Shi Ling's body. After that, he saw the needles on Shi Ling's body being sucked out of his body by the green poison.

Soon, a green liquid began to seep out from the top of the silver needle.

Gongsun Jie was truly worthy of being the son of the Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall. With such a series of healing techniques, even an amateur would be amazed upon seeing him.

It was unknown how much time had passed, whether it was two hours or four hours. When Shi Ling woke up, the sky was already dark, and he found himself sitting cross-legged in the same tree hole as before. Behind him, there seemed to be someone pressing their palms against his back, and at the same time, he discovered that his skin had returned to its original color.

At this point, Gongsun Jie slowly stopped his cultivation, then turned to ShiLing and said, "Your life is truly huge. You've been poisoned by such a strong poison, and it was delayed for almost an hour, yet you still survived."

This was because Shi Ling had seen him before. Previously, when he was still at the Spirit Sword Sect's martial arena, he had heard Long Yang mention that the other party seemed to be the son of the Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall, and his name was Gongsun Jie. Combined with the medicine at the scene, Shi Ling could guess that the person before him had saved his life even if he were a fool.

At this moment, Shi Ling clasped his hands at Gongsun Jie and said, "Many thanks to senior brother for saving me."

At this time, Gongsun Jie waved his hand and said, "There's nothing much to thank me for. Doctors are kind-hearted. If it were any other alchemist, they would have saved me."

However, the gratitude on his face did not diminish. However, at this time, Gongsun Jie said, "Since you're already awake, I'll write a prescription for you. After you return to the Spirit Sword Sect, go get some medicine and drink it yourself. After ten days, your body will be completely healed."

When Shi Ling heard this, he nodded his head seriously. He knew that since he had already awakened, he no longer needed the prescription. With the Yin and Yang Flames in his possession, what was there to worry about that he wouldn't be able to dispel? The reason why he had been hit was because he had been caught off guard.

Gongsun Jie then handed the prescription to Shi Ling and said, "Here, take it yourself."

After Shi Ling received it and kept it, he heard Gongsun Jie suddenly say, "Oh, right. You also have to calculate my medical fees."

As he spoke, he took out an abacus and began to calculate. Seeing this, Shi Ling could not help but smile. He then took out his storage card from his own heart ring and prepared to hand it over in one go. At this time, Gongsun Jie said, "My medical fees are 10,000 gold coins!"

As soon as he said that, Shi Ling's eyes widened as he turned to look at Gongsun Jie.
