Chapter 95
“Why?!”
Ye Junlin was dumbfounded. He hadn’t even stated his request, yet the other party outright refused?
“Don’t you want to live?”
“Yes, I don’t want to.”
“No, you do!”
“I really don’t!”
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely!”
“……”
Ye Junlin was speechless. Was this reward really slipping away from him?
But it was One Qi Transforming into Three Purities!
Such a handsome and practical technique—he definitely didn’t want to miss out on it!
Ye Junlin started scheming, changing his face to a friendly smile that felt like a cool breeze, displaying eight snow-white teeth, and kindly said, “Then could you do me a favor before you die?”
“What?”
“Promise to be my disciple.”
Great Mushroom King: “???”
It had never seen such shamelessness in its long life!
Who asks someone to be their disciple right before they die? That request itself was ridiculous!
And it’s just a mushroom!
“Come on, my mushroom buddy, help me out here, make my day before you kick the bucket.”
“Don’t worry, when you attack me later, I’ll definitely go all out to make sure you get squished into a juice, guarantee you’ll die without pain, all peaceful-like~”
Ye Junlin’s face wore a kind smile, but his words were incredibly brutal.
The Great Mushroom King found this unbelievable.
Is this even human talk?
This is beastly, right?
“Sorry, I’m not interested!”
The Great Mushroom King got mad, turned away, and outright refused to communicate with Ye Junlin.
Do what you will, it didn’t care!
Seeing this, Ye Junlin’s eyes twitched, and his smile gradually morphed into a sinister grin, sounding like a demon as he cackled, “Fine, if that’s the case, I’ll throw you in the pot and boil you into mushroom soup, or maybe kill a few chickens to make chicken stew with mushrooms! Don’t worry, I’ll eat you clean, not a scrap wasted…”
As he spoke, he pulled out a big black pot from who knows where, banging a spoon against it fiercely, grinning, “Come here, squat tight! Don’t you want to die? I’ll help you!”
The Great Mushroom King trembled all over, voice stammering, “G-give me a chance.”
“Don’t you want to die anymore?”
“N-no, I still want to try to survive!”
“Okay, then you have to be my disciple first!”
“Alright…”
【Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully taking on a disciple, reward: unparalleled divine ability—One Qi Transforming into Three Purities!】
【Ding, detecting the disciple’s qualification, hereby rewarding a supreme martial arts technique for cultivation: Azure Emperor Longevity Sutra!】
Ye Junlin was overjoyed inside; he finally got what he wanted!
Then, he looked at the Great Mushroom King huddled in the corner, a wicked smile creeping onto his face, his eyes like he was regarding a dish…
【Ding, friendly reminder: the host cannot engage in ‘killing the donkey after unloading the cart’ behavior; otherwise, this system will revoke the divine ability!】
The cute little system seemed to see through Ye Junlin’s ulterior motives and specially reminded him.
Ye Junlin quickly retracted his smile, solemnly asserting, “System, with my noble character, do you really think I would do something like that? You should feel ashamed for that baseless suspicion!”
System: “…”
Then,
Ye Junlin looked at the pitiful Great Mushroom King and said angrily, “Come up here; you’re my disciple from now on, you’ll call me Master!”
The Great Mushroom King weakly asked, “You… you really won’t eat me?”
Seeing this unpredictable Human Race character, the Great Mushroom King couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
Ye Junlin maintained a serious face: “Since you’re my disciple, I will protect you!”
With that, he brought two fingers together, channeling a green star-like glow into the Great Mushroom King’s head, “This is the cultivation technique I bestow upon you. Practice it!”
Boom!
The Great Mushroom King’s head almost exploded.
The Azure Emperor Longevity Sutra, a technique infused with unmatched truths, unfurled in its mind like a scroll. In an instant, the Great Mushroom King trembled all over, its spiritual fluctuations immensely strong.
It was thrilled! What an amazing technique?!
Everyone knew.
The Medicine Clan was inherently weak, not good at combat, but they had a significantly longer lifespan than the Human Race.
However, if they could remedy their flaws, it would be a huge blessing for the beings of the Medicine Clan!
And this Azure Emperor Longevity Sutra could indeed make up for their common lack of combat power and slow cultivation!
As a supreme Medicine King, the immortal chaotic mushroom had enormous potential. With this technique, it would undergo a complete transformation, akin to a fish leaping over the dragon gate, soaring into the sky!
Now, the Great Mushroom King truly believed Ye Junlin’s wild claims, sincerely bowing, “Master! Please accept my worship!”
It jumped up from the pit and respectfully bowed in front of Ye Junlin.
Ye Junlin put his hands behind his back, nodding slightly.
At that moment, to the onlookers, it felt like being struck by lightning; they were all frozen in shock.
What’s happening?
In the midst of battle, this guy suddenly took on a disciple?
And it’s a mushroom!
What kind of bizarre hobby is this?
Li…
Wu Jie was first taken aback but then nodded in deep agreement, “See? This is the vision of a Master! We can never understand it!”
“Hehe,” hearing this, Hong Qianye rolled her eyes.
Internally, she was cursing, “This guy is really obsessed with taking on disciples, huh?”
Battles between cultivators had always been about life and death.
But there had never been a case where someone suddenly took someone on as a disciple in the midst of fighting!
“Could it be that this guy plans to nurture it into a legendary Immortal Medicine, then at the right moment, swallow and refine it?” Hong Qianye speculated with a demonic mindset.
She felt there was definitely a possibility!
After all, this guy didn’t treat others like people!
Most importantly,
Based on the growth potential of the immortal chaotic mushroom, it might indeed evolve into an Immortal Medicine!
With the value of an Immortal Medicine, even immortals would fight tooth and nail for it!
“Awesome, Mouse now has a little junior brother!” Bai Xiaoxi danced with joy, because this meant one more person calling her Sister Bai.
The still-suspended Master Randel wore a face of disbelief.
This world has developed to a point he couldn’t comprehend!
So, in the end, he was the biggest victim?!
At this moment,
Ye Junlin carefully studied the Great Mushroom King and said sincerely, “Now that you’ve joined my sect, you need a fitting name. Your current title might lead to misunderstandings.”
“Master, what do you mean…” Great Mushroom King asked eagerly.
“Shape like a black mushroom, with the destiny of the Azure Emperor and high growth potential—in light of these factors, I’ll call you Little Black!” Ye Junlin said seriously.
The Great Mushroom King was left speechless.
It wanted to refuse but didn’t dare. After a moment’s thought, actually, Little Black sounds pretty good—low-key and unpretentious!
“By the way, I want to ask you, why did the previous owner of Medicine King Valley, the Medicine Sovereign, set up all those means to suppress human cultivators instead of supporting your Medicine Clan?”
Ye Junlin recalled something and asked seriously.
He really couldn’t fathom why that ancient Medicine Sovereign behaved that way towards future generations!
Clearly, they could have generously opened up Medicine King Valley to let human cultivators harvest freely, but instead, they set up all sorts of schemes, making the Medicine Clan ride roughshod over humans—it was nothing short of treachery!
So many years have passed, and the people left in the dark still hold him in such high regard!
They have no idea that this cursed place is a human slaughterhouse; no matter how powerful you were before, once you step inside, you have to be a good little grandson.
He had deceived generations of human cultivators—this is undoubtedly the biggest scam in the Eastern Domain!
Faced with this question,
The Great Mushroom King answered without a second thought, “Because the Medicine Sovereign himself is a member of our Medicine Clan!”
“What?!”
Ye Junlin was stunned.
Not just him; everyone was dumbfounded.
