48: Chapter 48 Unexpected Calamity

Ji Taichang hummed a happy little tune as he left the Qingyun Sect and began to head in the direction of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion.

He put on a silver mask and altered his own aura, not using Ji Aotian's disguise, but instead changing into a different appearance.

Ji Taichang stepped onto his Flying Sword and flew through the air at an astonishing speed.

Boom!

As Ji Taichang passed over a vast, boundless wilderness, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted from below, accompanied by the spread of an astonishing pressure that caused the very heavens and earth to change color!

"This kind of pressure... it is a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!"

Ji Taichang's expression changed as he sensed an aura that made even his Soul shudder with terror.

He immediately descended from mid-air to the ground, carefully concealing his entire aura, terrified of being slapped out of the sky by the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse.

Thud!

Not long after, another deafening roar came from the mountain range ahead, and blazing Sword Qi shot into the sky, shattering the clouds in all directions; it was terrifying to the extreme.

Furthermore, monstrous Devilish Qi and blood-red light intertwined, condensing into a gigantic skull that collided with that streak of Sword Qi.

The two supreme forces of the Nascent Soul Stage level clashed, and the terrifying fluctuations blotted out the sky and covered the sun, surging like a vast ocean; even someone as strong as Ji Taichang felt a sense of dread.

"The two sides fighting must be the elite among the Nascent Soul Stage; it is definitely not as simple as just being at the first or second level of the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Ji Taichang felt a chill in his heart and was just preparing to detour around the mountain range ahead.

Suddenly, the two forces in mid-air dissipated, and a figure wreathed in Devilish Qi flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into a stone mountain hundreds of zhang high and shattering it, causing the earth to shake and dust to fly everywhere.

As luck would have it, the spot where the opponent landed was not far from Ji Taichang!

"I didn't see anything..."

Ji Taichang turned and ran!

"Hee hee... Little brother, am I really that scary?"

"Don't run away; I can't walk anymore. Little brother, come over and help me..."

A bewitching, seductive voice suddenly came from behind, carrying an indescribable allure, accompanied by wisps of invisible Soul fluctuations striking out!

If it were an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator, they would likely have already had their mind bewitched!

Ji Taichang's cultivation was at the Golden Core Stage Ninth Level, and although his consciousness was a bit dazed, his Soul was strong enough to keep his mind clear, so he did not lose consciousness.

However, Ji Taichang deliberately feigned a dazed and unfocused look, turned woodenly, and walked in the direction from which the voice came.

This was only because...

The opponent had not only used a bewitching technique, but also had a terrifying Nascent Soul Stage level Divine Sense firmly locked onto Ji Taichang!

If Ji Taichang dared to run, the opponent would kill him without hesitation!

The stone mountain hundreds of zhang high had been smashed to pieces, and a huge crater had appeared on the ground, leaving the area in a mess.

In the deep crater lay a woman in red, covered in blood.

She had a tall and curvaceous figure with snow-white skin, and her attire was quite revealing; it had been damaged quite a bit during the battle, exposing a large expanse of skin.

Especially her bewitching face, which was incredibly beautiful, with a crimson dot between her eyebrows, beautiful enough to steal one's Soul!

However, her current injuries were extremely terrifying; there was a blood hole in her chest that went straight through, tearing half of her heart apart, and there was also a terrifying residual Sword Qi constantly eroding her life force!

With such terrible injuries, an ordinary person would have already died completely.

But Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses had tenacious vitality, and mere fatal wounds were not enough to kill her.

"Little brother, hurry and carry me up, we are going to Xunfeng City in Lanzhou."

The woman in red's silver-bell-like voice rang out, controlling Ji Taichang to pick her up and begin traveling, leaving this place.

Although Ji Taichang was wary in his heart, he could only pick her up.

Although the woman in red had a curvaceous body, she was very light, as soft as if she had no bones; the warm sensation coming through the thin clothing made Ji Taichang's blood boil!

But Ji Taichang did not dare to move.

Don't be fooled by the woman in red's serious injuries; she seemed to have difficulty even walking.

But in the end, she was a veteran Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse; at such close range, killing Ji Taichang would be effortless!

The woman in red hooked her hands around Ji Taichang's neck and reached out to touch his firm pectoral muscles, feeling that Ji Taichang's physique was quite powerful, with vigorous Qi and blood.

This made the woman in red's eyes light up, and she couldn't help but lick her red lips, a hint of greed and bloodlust appearing in her eyes.

"Little brother, how old are you?"

"18."

"Annoying, I'm not asking about your size."

The corners of Ji Taichang's mouth twitched slightly: "I am eighteen years old this year."

"Eighteen years old and at the Golden Core Stage? Do you think I'm stupid?" the woman in red sneered.

Although Ji Taichang tried his best to hide his own aura.

But the two were too close, and the woman in red still keenly sensed a trace of abnormality, able to judge that Ji Taichang's cultivation was at the Golden Core Stage!

"Fine, actually I am thirty-eight years old," Ji Taichang had to change his answer.

"By the way, Miss, your injuries are too serious. It just so happens that I know a little bit of medicine, and I also have quite a few Medicinal Pills for healing; do you want me to help you treat your injuries?"

"Sure."

The woman in red nodded, not objecting.

Ji Taichang carefully put the woman in red down, took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Ring, and the label read the five characters for "Vigorous Rejuvenation Pill".

"You eat one first," the woman in red said, quite vigilant.

Ji Taichang dared not disobey and could only take out a Medicinal Pill and swallow it.

After a while, seeing that Ji Taichang's expression was normal, the woman in red finally swallowed a few Vigorous Rejuvenation Pills.

As the medicinal power dissolved, the woman in red felt her whole body warm, and the pain from her injuries was actually slowly disappearing!

"It's actually effective?"

The woman in red's eyes lit up slightly; she hadn't expected that Medicinal Pills from a Golden Core Stage Cultivator would be useful for the injuries of a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse like her.

But she was completely unaware that this was actually a potent painkiller!

Ji Taichang took out a few more bottles of Medicinal Pills, with labels reading "Jade Dew Pill", "Nine Cauldrons Rejuvenation Pill", and "Soul Returning Jasper Pill".

In reality, they were the Death-Severing Pellet, Soul-Devouring Powder, and Profound Yin Extinction Pill, all of which were highly toxic substances!

As for why the labels did not match the actual names of the Medicinal Pills.

This was because Ji Taichang did not want anyone who picked up his Storage Ring to be able to use them directly.

The woman in red, as usual, made Ji Taichang eat one first.

Ji Taichang remained calm and composed, swallowing one of each, while secretly circulating the Fire Cloud Pill Scripture to neutralize the toxic power!

He possessed all the insights of the Fire Cloud Pill King, and his attainments in the Dao of Alchemy had long since reached the pinnacle of perfection!

Seeing that Ji Taichang was fine, the woman in red felt relieved and swallowed these bottles of poison.

The potent painkiller had already taken effect, and as the woman in red swallowed these bottles of poison, she only felt a surge of heat in her stomach, warm and cozy, and she really felt much more comfortable, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

[Ding! Luo Hongyi's favorability increased by 5 points]

[Luo Hongyi's favorability: -20 (When favorability reaches 100, a surprise will occur!)]

As the System notification sound rang out, Ji Taichang felt speechless.

I am kindly trying to save (poison to death) you, and this woman's favorability towards me is actually negative!
