Practice begins with immortality

"So that's how it is, that's how it is!"

After carefully reading Jiang Quan's memories, Wang Bo finally gained a clear and comprehensive understanding of the events involving the Zhang family. It turned out that the cause of everything was the green fruit of the Corpse Demon Tree.

According to Jiang Quan's memories, members of the Yuanxian Society stumbled upon this green fruit and realized its immense value. Thus, under the guidance of Yuanxian Society leaders, they leveraged their deep connections within the Jinyuan Merchant Clan to launch a series of covert operations.

These actions included purchasing a large number of slaves and secretly searching for powerful warriors. The only purpose was to use these people as food to feed the corpse tree.

The Zhang family was part of the Yuanxianhui's plan. They received orders from the merchant guild to prepare three hundred strong slaves and at least ten powerful warriors who had reached the Blood Refining Realm. For the Zhang family, the former was relatively easy. They simply needed to purchase the slaves, provide them with good food and nutrition, and organize exercise to cultivate strong physiques.

However, the real challenge lies in acquiring these powerful warriors. After all, powerful warriors are unlike ordinary warriors. They have cultivated the power of Qi and Blood, and every punch and kick has the power to split stones and shatter rocks. How could such individuals willingly become mercenaries? Furthermore, powerful warriors are extremely rare in the wild, and most have intricate connections with powerful individuals, serving as patrons of the nobility.

Gathering ten strong warriors is practically impossible for a family like the Zhang family. Unless they are ruthless and send their own recruits and trainees, but these retainers are their private armed forces, how can they easily give them up?

Therefore, in order to secure the "raw materials", Jiang Quan and several of his companions who were also Transformation Monks took action together. Their goal was to initiate the so-called "exchange" with families like the Zhang family.

You have to know that these Transformed Monks are all extraordinary. Even the weakest among them possess power that is incomparable to ordinary Blood Refining Warriors. So, although it is nominally an "exchange", in reality it is to demonstrate their own formidable strength and put pressure on the other side.

As luck would have it, when Jiang Quan arrived at the Zhang residence, he happened to find Zhang's father furious over his son, Zhang San, running away. Perhaps in a state of rage, Zhang's father accidentally retorted during their conversation. This was a problem. Since becoming a ghost, Jiang Quan had come to believe he was no longer human, and therefore superior. Zhang's father's retort was considered disrespectful. His expression suddenly changed, and without hesitation, he attacked, severely wounding Zhang's father with a single blow.

After Zhang's father suffered this severe injury, his injuries never fully healed. As a result, the task of providing "nutrients" for Jiang Quan's group, originally undertaken by Zhang's father, naturally fell on the shoulders of Zhang Yi, who had participated in the negotiations with Jiang Quan along with Zhang's father.

Faced with this situation, in order to appease the Zhang family, Jiang Quan did not do anything too extreme. He gave Zhang one or two blood essence pills that he had left over from his blood refining.

Under this combination of kindness and force, even though Zhang Yi was unwilling and resigned in every possible way, how could he dare to disobey Jiang Quan's orders? Helplessly, he had no choice but to obediently follow Jiang Quan's orders.

After learning the whole story in detail, Wang Bo woke Zhang Yi from his coma. He still had some questions for him.

"Sir, I wonder what you're looking for me for?" Zhang Yi, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. But when he saw the person standing in front of him, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled and his words became stammering. He lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, and he didn't dare to raise his head to meet Wang Bo's gaze, as if just one look would bring disaster upon him.

"Raise your head! If I really wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. I have some connection with your Zhang family, and I came here just to take a look at the situation." Wang Bai snorted coldly and said in a stern tone.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded quickly as if he had been pardoned and replied, "Yes... yes! Thank you for not killing me!" After that, he slowly raised his head, but he never dared to look at Wang Bai, and just secretly glanced at him with the corner of his eye.

"Okay, stop dawdling! Tell me quickly, where is your father now? Take me to find him immediately!" Wang Bai waved his hand impatiently and urged.

.........................

After a long time, Zhang Yi led Wang Bai around and around and finally arrived at a mysterious black wooden door.

After standing still, Zhang Yi's face was full of anxiety, and he said to Wang Bai: "Sir, you don't know, my father contracted a strange disease after being beaten by that man before. No matter how hot the weather outside, even when the sun is scorching, he will feel cold all over as if he fell into an ice cellar. We have invited many doctors to see him, but they are helpless and can only prescribe some prescriptions for physical conditioning." At this point, Zhang Yi's eyes turned red and his voice was slightly choked.

"There's no other way. In order to prevent this matter from being known to more people and causing unnecessary trouble, I had to secretly send my father to this place..." However, before Zhang Yi could finish his words, Wang Bai stepped forward, stretched out his hand to open the black wooden door, and walked straight in.

The room wasn't very large, barely enough for one person. The room was decorated in warm colors, creating a cozy atmosphere. Besides a large bed and a roaring fire, there was nothing else inside.

At that moment, an elderly woman sat by the stove, intently cutting herbs with scissors. On the bed, covered with a thick quilt, a haggard old man huddled in the quilt, shivering and clutching a hot water bottle.

As soon as the old woman saw Zhang Yi enter, she stood up without a word and hurriedly left the room. Wang Bai, upon seeing this, walked directly to the old man, slowly extended his right hand, and gently placed it on him. Then, he mobilized the powerful strength within him and began to treat the old man, the original body's biological father.

In just a moment, Father Zhang, who was originally shivering, felt warm all over. As the cold air disappeared, some of his chronic illnesses were also cured.

"Fortunately, the Yin energy has not invaded his bone marrow, otherwise I would have to reorganize all the cells in his body to save him." Wang Bai thought to himself.
