Chapter 344: Chapter 325: Five Poison’s Prophecy

Wang Wu’s trip was for the Spirit Liquid; of course, he wanted it. However, at this moment, he was Yue Mountain, so he had to disguise a bit.

Thus, he curiously asked, “Elder Chen, besides Profound Iron and Spirit Liquid, what kind of treasures does this great warehouse have? Could it be the Five Elements Spirit Pill? If so, I might exchange for some.”

“Haha! Young Master Shan, there is no Five Elements Spirit Pill here. Moreover, each Five Elements Spirit Pill, from refining to sale, must pass through the approval of the Immortal Alliance. We aren’t qualified here. If you truly want to exchange, you can go to Yun Ding City. I heard the pill master there has recently obtained a batch of Five Elements Spirit Pills, the highest is Seventh Grade and the lowest is Ninth Grade. If Young Master Shan desires some, you’d better hurry, as they are always in short supply and can’t afford to be delayed.”

“Thank you, Elder Chen, then please give me the Spirit Liquid.” Wang Wu nodded and went along with the flow.

However, Chen Damao smiled and said, “Young Master Shan, don’t rush. Recently, our great warehouse has indeed acquired some good treasures, and your arrival comes at the right time; otherwise, next month, they’ll be sent to Yun Ding City. Young Master Shan, come take a look.”

Saying that, he flipped his hand, and an item appeared in front of Wang Wu like a projection. This item was as red as magma, yet it wasn’t magma. Inside, there was a faint, rich Essence of Gold Qi pulsating.

“Is this—Iron Essence?”

Wang Wu looked for a few seconds before he hesitantly and surprisedly asked. To be honest, he didn’t recognize it, but fortunately, he had the support of four assistants.

“Young Master Shan has a keen eye, yes, it’s Iron Essence, a creature akin to the Stone Demon from the Monster Race. This was excavated from a Profound Iron Mine, and only such a large-scale mine can incubate it. Furthermore, the Profound Iron Mine we discovered this time seems to be the Monster Race’s old nest here. Digging deeper might reveal more treasures.”

“Young Master Shan, since we’re on the same side, good stuff should be shared among ourselves first. Otherwise, once the news reaches the Immortal Alliance, honestly, even if you want it, you may not necessarily get it.”

Chen Damao spoke with a smiling face.

Wang Wu was overjoyed, “Thank you, Elder Chen, then I’ll take this Iron Essence. Please calculate the cost for me.”

“Very well, very well. Actually, this was specially instructed by Young Master Wudu, left just for you, Young Master Shan.” Chen Damao added with a smile, retrieving two rather large wooden boxes made from Ancient Tree Heart.

Wang Wu didn’t even look; he directly threw them into his Storage Pouch. He may not trust Wudu, but could he not trust this old servant?

“Elder Chen, I must make a trip to Yun Ding City, so I take my leave now. Please take care of your health.” Wang Wu cupped his fists respectfully, acting very polite and respectful, seemingly satisfying Chen Damao.

“Young Master Shan, wait. Are you planning to buy the Five Elements Spirit Pill to prepare for advancing to the First Grade?”

“Exactly, after this seclusion, I’ve had some realizations, but I don’t know if they’ll succeed. So, I want to purchase the Five Elements Spirit Pill to aid a bit. Of course, I dare not forget the master’s teachings. This time it’s just a trial; I should still lay a solid foundation first.”

Wang Wu behaved like a good student.

And Yue Mountain was originally like this, except sometimes he would do some bad things…

“In that case, Young Master Shan, the grand lord is in the North Sea, unable to attend. Yet, among the grand lord’s disciples, you are the only genius likely to advance to the First Grade. This old servant still has some authority here; I’ll add an extra ten million dou of Spiritual Qi and three treasures for Young Master Shan. Thus, after you reach Yun Ding City, find Grandpa Huang and let him accompany you to purchase the Five Elements Spirit Pill. One way or another, you’re bound to acquire some.”

“This—thank you, Elder Chen. In the future, if the master blames me, I’m willing to bear the responsibility alone.” Wang Wu was delighted and quite moved.

What a wonderful sect, what a wonderful community!

“Haha! Why would Young Master Shan say such a thing? How would the grand lord blame this old servant for such matters? The grand lord has keen insight, go quickly; you can take the Teleportation Array. If you’re late, it really might be too late.”

Chen Damao’s face was kindly and benevolent, advancing to the First Grade was a big deal, just like a student from a village going to university; all resources had to incline a little.

Without further ado, Wang Wu immediately bid farewell to Chen Damao, left the great warehouse, and headed straight for the Teleportation Array.

After he left, a sickly figure suddenly emerged inside the great warehouse.

Chen Damao forced a smile, “Young Master Wudu, this is definitely Young Master Shan. We’ve verified it many times. He’s indeed Young Master Shan. Could we stop being so willful?”

That sickly figure turned out to be Wudu.

“I know, I know, absolutely, but I have this kind of problem from a young age, a particularly strong suspicion. I don’t know why, Elder Chen. I feel like I’m going crazy. I always feel that this time, Senior Brother isn’t real. He’s Xiong Wu in disguise. You can never guess with that Xiong Wu scoundrel, so I must go to Great Snow Mountain, I must take a look.”

“Young Master Wudu, the grand lord tasked you to hold Profound Iron City. How dare you leave on your own? I’ll use long-distance communication to contact Song Pizi and have him confirm once more, how about that?”

“Unwise, that might alert the enemy! If this Yue Mountain is truly Xiong Wu pretending, Song Pizi is definitely implicated. He, he’s almost flawless, almost the same as Yue Mountain!”

“Oh my dear Young Master Wudu, he is indeed Young Master Shan!”

“No, no, no, you don’t understand, you old thing understand nothing!”

“Alright, alright, this old servant doesn’t understand, but Young Master Wudu, your previous injury hasn’t healed yet. You really shouldn’t exert yourself.”

“It’s okay, I’ll also go to Yun Ding City. I’ll secretly follow him. I suspect he’s fake. At worst, if he discovers me, I’ll make a scene with the master to determine the truth. But Elder Chen, you must cover for me, pretend nothing happened. Being reprimanded by the master is minor; being taken advantage of by Xiong Wu is major, understand?”

“I understand, this old servant understands!”

Chen Damao blinked his eyes, feeling very weary.

This wasn’t the first time; Wudu had always been nervous and suspicious since childhood, especially of Yue Mountain who was his peer, often creating chaos, insisting Yue Mountain was a Demon. In the end, it always escalated to the point where the grand lord had to intervene to resolve it.

Indeed, it’s unfortunate, probably an old problem flaring up again this time.

“Don’t you dare think ill of me!”

It was almost as if Young Master Wudu could guess what Chen Damao was thinking. His perception had become incredibly sensitive at this moment. He could sense what the First-Grade Great Demon was thinking.

If Wang Wu were here now, he would immediately determine that Young Master Wudu must possess some innate divine technique similar to his Danger Perception, perhaps even of a higher level…

“No, no, no, this old slave didn’t think of anything, this old slave swears!” Chen Damao waved his hands repeatedly, fleeing hastily. This Young Master Wudu was truly someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.

Because Lu Wuchen favored him the most!

As if he were a bastard child.

No, no, no, it dared to slander the grand master!

It really deserved to die a thousand times over.

Inside the grand vault, the ailing Young Master Wudu was still murmuring in a low voice. A cold light shone down, illuminating his pale face, his eyes wide open, pupils vertical like those of a snake…

“I can’t be wrong, Yue Mountain is a Bear Demon; I’ve had this feeling for hundreds of years. Perhaps before this, Senior Brother Yue Mountain was still human, but ever since he met Xiong Wu, he was likely replaced by Xiong Wu. Although this is too absurd, even impossible, my feeling, hissing, my feeling, cannot be wrong, cannot be wrong…”

After a long while, Young Master Wudu’s body even spasmed. He collapsed to the ground, twisted and crawled up, like a snake…

But then he arduously took out a peculiar elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. Moments later, he awoke abruptly from his stupor, looking around his surroundings as if they were unfamiliar.

“Damn! I’ve had another episode. What was the trigger this time? Could it be that unlucky Senior Brother Yue Mountain again?”

At this moment, Young Master Wudu’s voice was cheerful and sunny. His whole being was no longer ailing but lively and interesting, just like a normal person. He was a world apart from his earlier self.

Then he took out a strange copper mirror from his bosom, cast a spell, and the mirror immediately reflected everything that had happened in the past hour.

In the copper mirror, he was fine one moment, the next moment becoming eerie and terrifying, and at the same time, Wang Wu in disguise as Yue Mountain appeared on the West Coast.

Then there was a series of dialogues, a series of re-enacted scenes until he spoke those words.

“Ha! This is really nothing new, this is already the tenth time.”

Young Master Wudu smiled slightly, but in this smile was immense excitement.

Because, three hundred years ago, when he was just six years old, Yue Mountain was also six, and Xiong Wu hadn’t been born yet, he had an episode, and even then he asserted that Yue Mountain was transformed from a bear.

Then the second time was two hundred seventy years ago.

The third time was two hundred forty years ago.

…

The eighth time was one hundred years ago, each time he had an episode, he would say Yue Mountain was a Bear Demon, but after the eighth episode, he suddenly claimed Yue Mountain was transformed from Xiong Wu.

Originally, everyone was used to it, the master even specially went to the West Wilderness to exterminate the entire family of the last Ancient Bear King.

But until a missed Bear Demon appeared in the West Wilderness, proclaiming itself as Xiong Wu, and his master went to great lengths to deploy a grand array in the Centipede Ridge area, all for a mere Bear Demon, even pausing the assault on the Great Snow Mountain.

Many at that time thought his master was crazy, but only Young Master Wudu knew, all the reasons lay with him.

He seemed to possess some mysterious and terrifying ability to foresee the future.

He did not know what this strange disease was, he only knew his master favored him exceptionally, sometimes those doting eyes, really seemed like a father’s.

But who was his mother?

He didn’t know, had never seen her, his master had never mentioned her either.

And now, this was the tenth episode, and during the illness, he was very, very certain that the recent Yue Mountain was indeed Xiong Wu.

The prophecy had come true.

It couldn’t be wrong.

It couldn’t be wrong.

Xiong Wu in disguise as Yue Mountain would bring fatal disaster to the Human Race, so is that the meaning of his existence?

Only pity for his kind-hearted Senior Brother Yue Mountain, he’s likely already dead by now.

Since the prophecy has become reality, then nothing matters anymore.

But perhaps the master is playing a grand strategy, which is why he placed Senior Brother Yue Mountain at the Great Snow Mountain?

“Such a significant matter must be reported to the master personally! I must not act on my own.”

“But the master is far away in the North Sea, I can’t go to him, so I need to find the mistress…”

At this moment, Young Master Wudu, on the contrary, seemed more like a normal cultivator…
