CH 5

At this time, Dan Yang Tzu completely ignored what Li Huowang was thinking, and he was lecturing to his already frightened disciples.

“If anyone has any ulterior motives in the future, remember to think about what you saw today!”

Dan Yang Tzu’s words made everyone’s body suddenly tremble, and the fear in their eyes became even greater.

He lingered with his hands behind his back in front of his apprentice, scanning everyone’s faces with his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

“I tell you, helping others to become an immortal is a great merit. If I become an immortal, I naturally won’t forget your merit, but if anyone breaks my plan, the end will be very tragic!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped in front of Li Huowang and looked at the boy in front of him who looked different from the other disciples.

“You’re just an illusion, how could I possibly be afraid of you! You’re an idea in my head!” Li Huowang thought of this and looked calmly at the master in front of him.

When Dan Yang Tzu raised his right hand, which was covered with mud in his fingernails, the atmosphere inside the cave became heavy, and everyone else’s eyes were turned to this Senior Brother Li, waiting to see what the master would do with this guy.

Unexpectedly, Dan Yang Tzu’s expression suddenly relaxed, and he lifted his right hand to pat Li Huowang’s head. The heavy atmosphere immediately dissipated.

“Those traitors invited you to leave last night, why didn’t you go?”

This seems to be asking Li Huowang, but it’s actually a compliment to him.

As soon as Li Huowang was about to speak, Dan Yang Tzu raised his right hand. “Don’t say anything hypocritical. Although you didn’t inform me in time, compared to those traitors with evil intentions, you are already very good.”

His hand was lowered and he continued, “You have a good talent. You won’t have to work in the material room anymore. You will become my registered disciple in the future.”

Li Huowang was stunned, somewhat surprised that his position had improved. However, he immediately realized that with so many people dying today, the helper around this guy must not be enough.

“By the way, since you have become my disciple and joined our sect, you can’t do without a Taoist name. In the future, your Taoist name will be Xuan Yang.”

Li Huowang glanced at the round hole in the corner, and the scene of the death of Xuan Yang flashed through his mind. He thought to himself, “Hmm… This name is really unlucky.”

Although Li Huowang doesn’t care much about this treatment, the other people in the material room immediately envy him. Anyone who becomes a registered disciple of Dan Yang Tzu may not have to die.

But this is not enough in Dan Yang Tzu’s opinion.

“Xuan Yang, since you just joined our sect, I’ll give you some rewards first. “

Hearing his shouting, Li Huowang hurriedly walked up to him, listening to Dan Yang Tzu’s tone as if he was about to give Li Huowang something.

Dan Yang Tzu poured five dark pills from the gourd on his waist and placed them in Li Huowang’s palm.

“Take it. Here are five pills I refined. Taking them can not only increase your life expectancy by ten years, but also temporarily gain extra strength to protect your life.”

Li Huowang frowned and placed these pills in front of him, ‘Is this also made using humans?’”

Just as he was thinking this way, Li Huowang suddenly saw that a pill in his hand rolled slightly, changing from a round shape to an oval shape, as if something was trying to get out of it.

When he looked closely again, he found that the pill had not changed at all.

“Shit, am I insane? Why do I care about things in hallucinations? They’re all fake. I absolutely can’t indulge in them anymore.”

Li Huowang patted his head with his hand, trying to wake himself up.

Dan Yang Tzu ignored Li Huowang’s actions and turned his head to look at the rest of the people. 

“See? Confronting me is a dead end, but anyone who helps me will be rewarded, and there will be great rewards!”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Dan Yang Tzu waved his dirty long sleeves and told everyone to disperse and continue working.

Li Huowang doesn’t have to go to the material room anymore. His Taoist name is Xuan Yang, so everything that the previous Xuan Yang owned was Li Huowang’s, including his status, Taoist robes, and even the independent small karst cave.

However, at this time, he does not care about everything that happens in these hallucinations, but rather what he cares about is his gains.

He hugged his chest with both hands and looked at the two items on the white sheet, the jade pendant and the pill.

“My goodness, I can really bring them out!”

But now Li Huowang is in trouble, and an old problem is once again in front of him, forcing him to face it.

“If I take this pill out and take it and it really works, is that place really an illusion? What’s the matter with me?”

Before, he really seriously implemented the doctor’s instructions and firmly regarded everything over there as an illusion, but this thing really appeared in front of Li Huowang, and his thoughts began to falter.

If this is really an illusion, why did this thing become real and what harm would it do to him?

If there is not an illusion but another world over there, isn’t it true that the crazy senior sister who was refined into pills by the master, and Xuan Yang who was swallowed by the black tripod, are they all true? 

Various frightening images constantly flashed in his mind, making his breathing rapid.

“Ah!! It’s so annoying, there’s not even a person to discuss.” The irritable Li Huowang reached out and scratched his head.

After venting for a while, Li Huowang finally had to face reality, and after a long time of reflection, he finally decided on a solution.

On the illusion side, whether it’s true or false, he decided to continue to cooperate as much as possible as before, completely taking it seriously.

If it were true, he could also save himself. If it’s an illusion, it won’t hurt him either.

He currently verifies the authenticity and value of these things before making further plans.

Li Huowang took a deep breath and picked up a pill and placed it in front of him.

“No, it’s too dangerous for me to eat myself.” His gaze turned to the patient outside in the garden who was basking in the sun.After hesitating for a moment, he decadently lowered his hand. 

They are all poor people like himself, how can they be tested for drugs?He plans to find a way to find an experimental body sometime in the future.

Then Li Huowang looked at the round jade pendant, which was much easier to handle than pills.

……

“Come on, what do you want me to do? I just climbed over the wall and came out. If this is a prank, don’t blame me for hitting you!” Yang Na threatened Li Huowang with her small fist raised.

“Honey, I only had to ask you to come and help me as a last resort, and you know I can’t get out at all.”

Li Huowang said, walking to the door of the ward, closing the door and pulling the curtains.
