Chapter 2422 Blood Dew Golden Elixir
His swift movement technique was originally the "Swallow Return," which he obtained from Panlong City through military merit. Later, it was upgraded to "Falcon Strike," and he has used it ever since. The reason is simple: it's agile and nimble, and its greatest characteristic is speed!
When He Lingchuan used this movement technique, he infused it with Yuan energy, making him even faster than Liu Qingdao's sword control. He was truly elusive, moving without a trace, and even the wind couldn't catch up with him.
The greatest truths are the simplest, and He Lingchuan was very satisfied with its speed.
Aunt Zhu stomped on the anglerfish twice: "Is that all?"
It's perfectly normal for other creatures to lose their ability to move instantly when hit in a vital spot. But can a stone clone even have a vital spot?
No, this stone anglerfish seems to be made of flesh and blood as well.
Aunt Zhu moved her claws and moved the stone anglerfish carcass aside, revealing the true entrance to the crevice below.
Mingke the Immortal, having held back for so long, finally couldn't help but turn to He Lingchuan and ask, "How did you see through the stone anglerfish's disguise?"
The anglerfish's camouflage was so perfect that it even fooled his discerning eyes, befitting the master of the secret realm.
So how did the general from the human kingdom see through it?
He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Master Qianhuan taught me some supernatural skills that can help me see through illusions and disguises."
Aunt Zhu pretended not to hear it. This fellow was talking nonsense again. He was clearly using Yuan Power!
With the combined power of the Nine Nether Emperor and the Tiger Wing General of the Great Wind Army, how could they not see through the disguise of a mere stone anglerfish?
While others could not bring their Yuan energy into Yujing City on their own, He Lingchuan was an exception.
He clearly saw through the anglerfish lying on the ground with its mouth wide open at first glance, yet he still pretended to throw hazelnut figures into the fish's belly, and he also used the excuse of explaining to Immortal Mingke to lull the master of the secret realm into a false sense of security.
Although Mingke Xianren did not know the truth, he secretly thought that this person was cunning.

Senior Brother Xu returned to the cellar.
Shangguan Biao immediately got up from the ground and waited with bated breath.
"The person who smuggled the spiritual herbs has been caught and confessed on the spot. Elder Wu determined that you are innocent and sent me to release you." This was the first time Senior Brother Xu had given such a definite answer, and he personally unlocked Shangguan Biao's shackles. "Go on, you don't need to sleep in the cellar tonight."
He was a favorite of Li Yun, and his actions showed that Li Yun cared a lot about the conditions offered by Shangguan Biao.
Shangguan Biao immediately bowed deeply, his hands touching the floor:
"Brother Xu's act of chivalry is a great kindness that I, Shangguan, will never forget!"
His words were filled with gratitude, which made Senior Brother Xu feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Is this still the same stubborn Shangguan Biao from before?
But he only paused for a moment before recovering, reaching out to help Shangguan Biao up and laughing, "We're brothers from the same sect, why bother with all that? I brought you some new clothes, pack them up and come back to the Huaiwu with me. Uncle Li is already waiting for you there."
"Uncle Li has arrived!" Shangguan Biao exclaimed, deeply moved.
Li Yun saved him from this unexpected disaster, and naturally demanded an equal return afterward.
Cause and effect, human relationships, and taking sides—these are the laws of Changfeng Valley, and everyone must abide by them.
However, Li Yun's personal arrival was a great surprise to Shangguan Biao.
"Uncle Li takes this very seriously."
Shangguan Biao answered with an exceptionally loud voice: "Yes!"
Senior Brother Xu specially cast a cleansing spell on him to prevent him from being covered in blood and grime and looking disheveled. Shangguan Biao changed his clothes, tied his hair, and tidied his appearance in the cellar before leaving with Senior Brother Xu.
The three rows of houses beside the ghost claw locust tree were brightly lit.
Senior Brother Xu led Shangguan Biao straight into the largest room.
Coincidentally, Elder Wu had interrogated Shangguan Biao here before, catching him red-handed and leaving him speechless.
Now, Li Yun is also summoning Shangguan Biao at the same location, but with a very amiable expression.
How many eyes are watching in Duzhishan? Li Yun's personal visit sends a signal worth interpreting.
Upon seeing him, Shangguan Biao immediately bowed and said, "Uncle Li, how can I ever repay your life-saving grace!"
He also knew why Li Yun had saved him, so he simply stated it from the start:
I'm here to complete the transaction and, in turn, to pledge my allegiance.
Li Yun smiled and personally helped him up.
"You've suffered! Alas, you're clearly innocent, yet you've been falsely accused. This time, they'll pay the price!"
These two sentences seemed to strike a chord with Shangguan Biao, causing his chest to heave a few times:
"I'm grateful for your help, Uncle-Master!"
"It's not just for you!" Li Yun flicked his sleeve. "If we turn a blind eye, they'll corrupt the entire sect's atmosphere!"
Having said that, he looked at Senior Brother Xu. The latter understood and immediately bowed:
"Disciple, I will take care of it right away."
After Senior Brother Xu left, Li Yun pointed to the chair next to him, indicating that Shangguan Biao should sit down.
"You said earlier that you had a way to heal the Earth Mother's injuries?"
Here we go, the important business is here. Shangguan Biao sat only halfway in his chair, leaning slightly forward: "I'm about 60-70% confident."
"The Earth Mother is the guardian spirit beast of Changfeng Valley. She has repelled enemies several times and is a vital treasure of our sect. Healing her is a great and auspicious event, and a blessing for our sect. As a disciple of Changfeng Valley, if you have this ability, then you have this obligation!"
"Yes." Shangguan Biao hesitated for a moment before replying, "Some time ago, I accidentally discovered that the dew from the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus can soothe the Earth Mother and help her alleviate her pain during her slumber. I only knew that the wind and dew had an effect on both humans and demons before, but I never expected that it could also have a healing effect on the Earth Mother."
Unintentional? Li Yuan chuckled upon hearing those two words. This kid probably had to repeatedly feed the Earth Mother with wind and dew to dare to make such a boast. But that wasn't the point anymore. "Well, most medicines are ineffective against the Earth Mother; medicines meant for humans can't be used on her. The sect leader originally determined that her soul injury would heal slowly, and it would take three or four hundred years for her to recover."
"However, after feeding it for a few months, I found that the wind and dew only had a calming and soothing effect on Mother Earth, reducing her pain during her hibernation, but it could not truly speed up her recovery. Later, I remembered that a family heirloom I had read in my childhood mentioned that the Golden Lotus could actually produce the extremely potent 'Blood Dew,' and the 'Blood Dew Golden Elixir' refined from it could directly transform a stubborn stone into an immortal!"
"That's an exaggeration." Li Yuan stroked his beard. "This legend isn't the source of your confidence in curing the Earth Mother, is it?"
If the answer is yes, this kid is really stubborn and deserves to end up as a handyman in Duzhishan!
“If it were just a legend, how could I dare waste my master’s time?” Shangguan Biao said seriously. “Do you know that the First Shore Immortal fought a decisive battle with his nemesis three hundred years ago? Although he won in the end, he was seriously injured. In particular, his opponent’s soul poison was extremely powerful.”
"The head of the Great Return Sect? Yes, he obtained the divine sword by slaying the demons of Wu Mountain, which qualified him to be known as the 'Head of the Sect' within the sect. However, he then went into seclusion for more than a hundred years."
