Ch 104: The Fountain Of Youth Appears
Before coming, Master Li Hanzhou had made ample preparations.
Before entering the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone, Li Hanzhou had some guesses, so he prepared many things for ghost exorcism. He didn’t expect to encounter zombies here.
“Impossible, that’s merely wood, how could it have such strong lethality?” Master Zhou clearly couldn’t believe it. His body couldn’t be pierced even by divine weapons, how could he have a hand cut off by wood?
Li Hanzhou sneered, offering no explanation.
Peachwood swords are inherently the nemesis of monsters and ghosts, especially this peachwood, a five-hundred-year-old tree that has absorbed the Essence of Sun and Moon, possessing unsurpassed power. If one could find lightning-struck wood, it would naturally be even stronger, but such a treasure is exceedingly rare.
This kind of wooden sword is certainly inefficient for killing people; it would likely break immediately, but it is extremely useful against zombies.
“Speak, where is the Spring of Immortality, and who is your master?” Li Hanzhou slowly walked over, the peachwood sword in his hand causing Master Zhou great apprehension.
“What master? I don’t know.” Master Zhou glared fiercely at Li Hanzhou: “There’s only me here, no master. I don’t know where the Spring of Immortality is either.”
“Your mouth is quite hard. Do you want me to beat you to oblivion?” Li Hanzhou said disdainfully: “It’s not that I look down on you, but is there only you in this Tianxuan Forbidden Zone? With your uselessness, could you really have kept a Spear Immortal here?”
“It seems I need to teach you a lesson before you’ll tell the truth.”
Li Hanzhou’s Storage Bag flashed with radiance, and a red thread appeared in his hand.
Although Master Zhou didn’t know what Li Hanzhou intended to do with the red thread, he had a very bad feeling. He couldn’t help but swallow, finally feeling a bit of fear.
“Wait, I can tell you where the Spring of Immortality is.” Master Zhou relented.
“Oh?”
However, Li Hanzhou grinned: “I don’t believe you.”
“Ah?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the red thread in Li Hanzhou’s hand instantly shot out, directly wrapping around Master Zhou’s neck. When the red thread touched his neck, a power like lightning surged through it, causing Master Zhou to convulse violently, suffering excruciating pain.
“Father!”
Seeing this, the ghost groom practically crawled towards Li Hanzhou, his eyes blazing with fury, intent on killing him.
However, before he reached Li Hanzhou, he was pierced through the forehead by Li Hanzhou’s finger.
His head exploded.
The ghost groom completely vanished into smoke, while Master Zhou was now howling in agony.
Li Hanzhou’s gaze turned to the distance: “What? Are you going to watch for how much longer? Do you want me to invite you out?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and a figure instantly appeared in the small courtyard. His movement technique was extremely fast. The approaching person was a middle-aged man. Li Hanzhou could tell that this person was also a zombie, but his strength was far beyond that of Master Zhou.
He had probably already entered the Heavenly Gang Realm.
Without even glancing at Master Zhou, he said to Li Hanzhou: “I’ll take you to get the Spring of Immortality. After you get it, go back where you came from.”
“Alright.”
Li Hanzhou casually released Master Zhou, but he was now almost completely incapacitated, his whole body emitting black smoke.
“What is your name?”
Li Hanzhou asked the man before him.
“My name?” The man frowned, saying, “I’ve been dead too long; I don’t remember my name. I only remember that Jianghu gave me the nickname, Longkong Jian.”
Hearing this nickname, Li Hanzhou’s eyes narrowed, saying: “You are Longkong Jian, Mo Yun?”
“Mo Yun?” The man pondered for a moment: “It seems that was my name.”
Li Hanzhou observed the man before him, knowing the name Mo Yun because he had recently been reading books in the Martial Gate. In the Martial Gate, there is a stone tablet recording the strong people cultivated over the years, and among them was the name Mo Yun.
Mo Yun was a Heavenly Gang Realm cultivator and a genius, his Longkong Sword Art was infinitely powerful and unpredictable.
In the eyes of Jianghu people back then, Mo Yun had a very high chance of becoming a Sword Immortal.
However, he was eventually involved in the power struggles of the Great Zhou Imperial Court, dying in the whirlpool of court disputes.
“Let’s go.”
Mo Yun moved, like flowing light in the night, disappearing.
Li Hanzhou didn’t waste words, following closely behind.
However, Li Hanzhou remained vigilant. This Tianxuan Forbidden Zone was not simple; the master behind it was something Li Hanzhou was very concerned about.
Mo Yun led Li Hanzhou away from the small town, heading north.
Half an hour later, Li Hanzhou faintly heard the sound of water.
Under the night sky, Mo Yun stopped. Ahead was a cliff face, seemingly a dead end, but at that moment, Li Hanzhou heard the sound of dripping water. Li Hanzhou looked up and saw drops of water falling from the cliff face, the droplets filled with radiant, multicolored light. At the same time, Li Hanzhou smelled a fragrance that was difficult to describe.
Even a single whiff seemed to make one feel refreshed.
“The Spring of Immortality.”
Li Hanzhou guessed that this must be the water of the Spring of Immortality.
Drop by drop, the water accumulated into a small pond below.
“After taking the Spring of Immortality, go east for thirty li, and you can leave the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone.”
Mo Yun told Li Hanzhou.
After speaking, Mo Yun was about to leave, but at that moment, Li Hanzhou disregarded him, and the Jade Bottle he refined flew out.
“What is that?”
Seeing the Jade Bottle in Li Hanzhou’s hand, Mo Yun showed a strange expression.
“Jade Bottle. Never seen one?” Li Hanzhou said: “I heard that the Spring of Immortality needs to be stored in a Jade Bottle. You haven’t even heard of this?”
“I…”
“I have heard of it, I just didn’t recognize your Jade Bottle…” Mo Yun looked at the black and white bottle in Li Hanzhou’s hand, lost in thought, finally couldn’t help but ask: “Did you buy a fake?”
“Unsophisticated.” Li Hanzhou didn’t bother to respond to Mo Yun.
What’s wrong with his black and white Jade Bottle?
Perhaps it’s even more useful than ordinary bottles.
“This spring water smells quite fragrant.” Li Hanzhou walked to the side of the small pool, couldn’t help but say: “I heard that drinking this can prolong life and has great benefits.”
“Ordinary people drinking it can prolong their lives, but for someone of your cultivation level, it probably won’t have much effect.” Mo Yun said calmly: “But it can also strengthen the body, cleanse oneself, or be used in medicine, all are good choices.”
Li Hanzhou smiled faintly: “Such a good thing, I thought it would be difficult to find, but you gave it to me so easily. Didn’t you use this Spring of Immortality as bait to lure people in, kill them, and refine them into zombies?”
“I’m quite easy to talk to.”
