Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Brother Jiang, please accept my bow

He burst into laughter because he realized that the bloated figure on the stretcher was Ao Tianheng.

In fact, at this point, Ao Tianheng was so swollen from the wild bee stings that he was barely recognizable, but his clothing was still intact.

Otherwise, Jiang Xiaobai might not even recognize him, even if he spoke.

“This… can’t be Ao Tianheng, can it?”

Ao Cheng finally grasped the situation, dropping his popsicle onto the ground in surprise.

Kong Yuhuai was even more horrified, his legs going a little weak.

So this is the fate of those who offend Ao Cheng and Jiang Xiaobai?

How tragic!

“Move, get out of the way!”

The disciples carrying the stretcher were yelling angrily, pushing everyone who blocked their way.

They were in a state of urgency!

If they were delayed, Ao Tianheng could be ruined.

As they passed Jiang Xiaobai and his companions, the three had a clear look at Ao Tianheng.

It was a simply pitiful sight.

There was not a single patch of flesh on his body, all were swollen welts from the stings.

His handsome face had turned into a pig’s head.

If it wasn’t for the fear of exposure, Jiang Xiaobai might have burst into laughter right on the spot.

After the party had gone far, the trio stood in silence.

Kong Yuhuai suddenly bowed in a serious manner.

“Brother Jiang, Brother Ao Cheng, I suddenly remembered that I left clothes unattended at home, I must leave at once!”

As he prepared to leave, he was stopped by both Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng.

A joke, how could they let him leave?

They needed Kong Yuhuai to serve as a witness for them!

Otherwise, Ao Yan would certainly blame them first.

“Brother Kong, don’t rush. We haven’t finished exploring the Dragon Valley,” Jiang Xiaobai quickly tried to dissuade him.

“Yeah, Brother Kong, we had plans to drink to our hearts’ content tonight,” Ao Cheng added in haste.

Caught in the middle, Kong Yuhuai found himself in a quandary, unable to leave or stay.

But he figured it out. Today, he probably couldn’t leave.

After a long silence, Kong Yuhuai finally spoke. “In my opinion, we might as well find a place to lay low.”

Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Cheng also fell silent.

Originally, they had just intended to teach Ao Tianheng a lesson, who expected him to be so cooperative?

Didn’t even know how to avoid the swarm of bees when they came?

Let them sting him madly?

What a dullard he was.

If Ao Tianheng knew what Jiang Xiaobai was thinking, he would definitely jump up and spit on him

‘For god’s sake, you guys tied me up with the Immortal Tying Rope, how could I escape?’

“Let’s go, it’s best we lay low…”

Jiang Xiaobai spoke, “By the way, Ao Cheng, didn’t you say earlier that I could ask for anything?”

“Yes, what do you want? Remember, I’m a decent person!”

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s glowing eyes, Ao Cheng felt a bit uneasy.

“What are you thinking? I need a few spiritual herbs, go get them for me.”

“Piece of cake!”

Afterwards, the trio immediately left the square. They first went to the treasure house in Dragon Valley where Ao Cheng retrieved the required spiritual herbs for Jiang Xiaobai. Then they headed for the mountains at the back of Dragon Valley.

In short, they needed to lay low for a while.

In the valley, beside a small waterfall.

Jiang Xiaobai extinguished the Celestial Flame. In his hand was a Spirit Skill pill, as exquisite as a piece of jade, and emitting a mysterious aura.

Kong Yuhuai watched with great excitement nearby.

He had previously thought that he and Jiang Xiaobai were on par with each other.

But now it seemed that the two couldn’t be compared at all.

The techniques that the other used surpassed his by far. Kong Yuhuai even began to wonder if the master of Five Lotus Mountain, his mentor, could perform at this level.

“Brother Jiang, what kind of pill is this?” Kong Yuhuai asked, his eyes shining.

“Oh, nothing much, it’s for Ao Yan. This thing is useful to her,” Jiang Xiaobai replied nonchalantly.

However, this casual attitude completely stunned Kong Yuhuai.

He had never heard of this pill, nor had he ever seen the methods used to refine it.

How could this be casually made?

“Brother Jiang, tell me honestly, how big is the gap between us?” Kong Yuhuai asked with utmost seriousness.

Jiang Xiaobai awkwardly rubbed his lips, finding himself in an awkwvard situation.

How was he supposed to answer that?

“Ahem, to be honest, Brother Kong, we are on different paths.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, you are on the path of alchemy, while I am on the path of research, in other words, developing new products.”

“Develop… Developing new products? You mean, researching new types of elixir, right?”

Jiang Xiaobai slapped his hand in agreement, “Exactly! To be honest, that Detoxifying Pill, I researched it.”

When he said that, Jiang Xiaobai was quite self-satisfied.

He wanted to keep Kong Yuhuai on the same boat and had to make him believe.

This move was a sure winner!

There was no way Kong Yuhuai wouldn’t fall for it.

As expected, Kong Yuhuai was completely convinced.

Being able to research a new type of elixir was the lifelong pursuit of every alchemist. Alchemy was all about practice makes perfect, and when one’s understanding reached a certain level, they could challenge higher-level elixirs.

But if they could research a new elixir, like the Detoxifying Pill…

That would make history!

At this moment, Kong Yuhuai’s admiration for Jiang Xiaobai had reached its peak.

There was only one thing he wanted now, and that was to stay in Dragon Valley and learn from Jiang Xiaobai!

“Brother Jiang, please accept my bow!”

Suddenly, Kong Yuhuai stood up, insisting on bowing to Jiang Xiaobai. This took Jiang Xiaobai by surprise, and he quickly stood up to refuse.

“No, no. I really can’t accept this!”

“No, Brother Jiang. You deserve this!”

Kong Yuhuai spoke seriously, “Fire Poison is a vexing issue for every cultivator. It’s like a gnawing disease that causes severe suffering.”

“But now with the appearance of the Detoxifying Pill, numerous people can see a glimmer of hope.”

“As for the cultivation world, you are indeed a great benefactor and a great person!”

“Please, Brother Jiang, do not refuse, accept my bow!”

After hearing such sincere words, even Jiang Xiaobai felt a bit embarrassed. Unable to refuse, he could only accept the bow.

This seemed to strengthen Kong Yuhuai’s confidence.

At this point, his life goal had become Jiang Xiaobai, and the way he looked at him was filled with admiration.

“Thank you for your guidance, Brother Jiang. I have learned a great deal.”

“I have one request. I hope Brother Jiang can teach me how to refine the

Detoxifying Pill. ”

“Rest assured, Brother Jiang. I merely wish to study it and won’t tell anyone.”

Kong Yuhuai looked at Jiang Xiaobai expectantly.

Jiang Xiaobai appeared nonchalant, but he was ecstatic inside.

He knew that the fish was hooked.

“Ahem, you know such a thing…”

Jiang Xiaobai started speaking but then stopped, implying that he was a bit reluctant to share.

Kong Yuhuai also understood the importance of this, and he didn’t get discouraged.

“No problem, I know its value. But I believe there will be a day when I can impress Brother Jiang and show him my sincerity!”

He spoke with confidence.

Next to him, Ao Cheng smirkly commented, “Alright, you were just unwilling to serve as our witness.”

“When was that?”

“You must have misunderstood!”

“Besides, haven’t the three of us been strolling in the Dragon Valley all day?”
