Chapter 429: Chapter 429: 129: Cleansing Spirit Elixir

From the conversation between the woman in white and Lin Jing just now, Zhang Jian had also guessed the identity of this woman.

She was the one who had destroyed the Black Shark Gang, a person from the Ice God Palace.

Thinking of his own actions just a moment ago, Zhang Jian was filled with regret and wished he could slap himself several times.

At this time, the woman in white directly emitted a stream of white cold air from her fingertips, and upon touching the jade slip, the jade slip immediately shattered into countless fragments, falling onto the table.

Afterward, the woman in white extended her hand and swept over the table, causing the jade slip to turn directly into powder and disappear without a trace.

Then, the woman in white turned to Zhang Jian and said,

“You were able to get a jade slip from the Ice God Palace, and that was your luck…”

“This jade slip was left behind by a traitor of our Ice God Palace. I came out from the Inner Sea to hunt down this traitor.”

At this point, the woman in white’s gaze turned icy, staring directly at Zhang Jian:

“Besides this time, have you shown it to anyone else?”

Zhang Jian hurriedly shook his head and said,

“Senior…”

“This is the only time. It’s the first time I’ve shown it to someone since I found this jade slip.”

The woman in white kept staring at him, and naturally, Zhang Jian didn’t dare to lie.

After a moment, the woman in white nodded and said,

“Considering that you haven’t shown it to anyone else, I will not punish you this time.”

Zhang Jian was just about to sigh in relief when the woman in white spoke again:

“However…”

“You had intentions of disgracing me, and this cannot be let go so easily.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s heart leapt to his throat.

Lin Jing also tried to intercede at this time,

“Senior…”

“Although Zhang Jian can be unreliable at times, he is actually quite a good person. I hope senior can show mercy.”

The woman in white let out a cold snort:

“Hmph!”

“There’s no need for further words. His crime may not merit death, but it also cannot be so easily forgiven.”

“Considering he has come upon this jade slip, he has also reduced some trouble for our Ice God Palace.”

“I am someone who repays kindness with kindness, and revenge with revenge.”

“His finding of the jade slip prevented it from being leaked, which counts as a kindness, but his intention to disgrace me counts as revenge…”

Having said that, the woman in white pointed directly at Zhang Jian.

A stream of Cold Ice Spiritual Power rushed into Zhang Jian’s body, causing his face to drastically change as he hurriedly checked his own condition.

Apart from a mass of Cold Ice Spiritual Power in his Dantian, there were no other abnormalities.

At that point, the woman in white said,

“I have left a strand of pure Spiritual Power inside you. This power can assist you in reaching the Golden Core Peak in a short period of time.”

“But correspondingly, every time you break through, you will experience the pain of Frostbone Erosion.”

After hearing this, Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment. He had thought it was going to be punishment, but to his surprise, it turned out to be a great opportunity given to him, and he was overjoyed.

So Zhang Jian quickly bowed his head in thanks:

“Thank you, Senior…”

Even Lin Jing, upon hearing this, was filled with envy. It wasn’t easy to find the opportunity to reach Golden Core Peak so quickly.

Zhang Jian was indeed incredibly lucky.

And this woman in white was truly generous. She gave away the Black Shark Gang Leader’s Space Ring without any hesitation.

And Zhang Jian, even after offending her so, had even caused Lin Jing to break out in a cold sweat with his words and actions.

But unexpectedly, because of the jade slip, he was directly granted a tremendous opportunity.

……

The woman in white just chuckled coldly and said,

“I hope after you’ve experienced the pain of Frostbone Erosion, you can still be grateful to me.”

Zhang Jian quickly stated his position:

“Senior has granted me such a great opportunity, let alone the pain of Frostbone Erosion, even if I have to endure flaying and deboning, I can bear it.”

Zhang Jian confidently boasted.

Little did he know.

After experiencing the pain of Frostbone Erosion, Zhang Jian began to question his life.

It even caused him to develop a psychological shadow.

Even hundreds of years later in the Nascent Soul Stage, whenever he heard the words “cold ice,” his entire body would shiver uncontrollably.

All of this was the retribution the woman in white had in store for Zhang Jian…

……

The woman in white no longer responded but turned to Lin Jing and Zhang Jian and said,

“I do not wish for anyone to leak the matter regarding the Black Shark Gang.”

Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Don’t worry, Senior…”

“We will absolutely not disclose this incident.”

As a joke, to reveal this matter would be tantamount to being as weary of life as Zhang Jian himself…

At this moment, Zhang Jian also hurriedly said,

“Please be assured, Senior, I will definitely keep the secret.”

Subsequently, the woman in white looked at Zhang Jian and said,

“Also, I hope you keep the content of that jade slip to yourself; if a second person knows, I think you understand the consequences.”

Zhang Jian quickly nodded and said,

“Please be assured, Senior.”

Then, Zhang Jian raised three fingers to the sky and said,

“I, Zhang Jian, solemnly swear upon my Soul Spirit that I will never reveal the contents of the jade slip. If I disclose it to a second person, I, Zhang Jian, shall die under the Heavenly Tribulation, my soul scattered to the winds.”

Seeing Zhang Jian take an oath upon his Soul Spirit, the woman in white’s expression softened considerably, and then she said to Zhang Jian,

“Mm…”

“Stand up…”

Following that, the woman in white took out three white elixirs and, with a wave of her hand, sent them with Spiritual Power to Zhang Jian, saying,

“Since you know the score, I’ll give you these three antidotes. You may take them when you break through to reduce the pain of Frostbone Erosion.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian quickly stood up, respectfully received the elixir medicine, and then bowed deeply to the woman in white,

“Thank you, Senior…”

“And…” The woman in white nodded, then continued,

“You will come with me later to the place where you found that jade slip.”

Zhang Jian hurriedly said,

“Yes, Senior…”

Following this.

The woman in white spoke to Lin Jing:

“I am done here. Next, I will take Bing Yan back to the Ice God Palace.”

Lin Jing hurriedly said:

“Then, senior, I will bring Bing Yan over immediately.”

The woman in white, however, said:

“There’s no need…”

“I have already notified her, and she should be here shortly.”

Having finished speaking, the woman in white stood up and walked outside.

Lin Jing and Zhang Jian followed obediently behind her.

……

After arriving in the courtyard, it wasn’t long before Han Bingyan arrived.

Accompanying her were Li Qingqing, Lin Jue, and Ye Yun.

Obviously, they had just been together, which is why they came together to see off Han Bingyan.

When Han Bingyan came over and saw the woman in white, she directly said:

“Master…”

The woman in white nodded and said:

“We should leave, back to the Ice God Palace.”

“You have spent not a short time with them; say your goodbyes, and we will set off afterwards.”

Han Bingyan nodded, “Yes, Master…”

Then, she turned around to bid farewell to Li Qingqing and the trio of Lin Jue and Ye Yun.

Although Han Bingyan was usually silent, the time spent together had made her a bit more outgoing.

Her relationship with them had also become closer, especially with Li Qingqing, who had been like an elder sister to her, taking great care of her.

Just then, Li Qingqing took out a Pure Jade Box and offered it to Han Bingyan:

“This is the Flawless Eternal Youth Elixir I have just refined recently, and now I’m giving it to you.”

Han Bingyan looked at the Pure Jade Box and said:

“Qingqing sister, you need this Eternal Youth Elixir the most right now. You should keep it.”

Li Qingqing, however, pushed the Pure Jade Box into Han Bingyan’s hands, and said:

“I can refine more Eternal Youth Elixirs, and I won’t be short of them in the future. Just keep it.”

……

At this point, even the woman in white spoke up:

“Bing Yan, just accept it…”

“The Flawless Eternal Youth Elixir not only preserves youth but also expels impurities from the body, which can help in cultivating our sect’s techniques.”

“Even if she hadn’t given you this one, I would have found a way to get you a Flawless Eternal Youth Elixir.”

Han Bingyan nodded and accepted the Flawless Eternal Youth Elixir:

“Thank you, Sister Qingqing…”

Li Qingqing, with a smile, said:

“You’re welcome…”

At this moment, the woman in white continued:

“Since you’ve given Bing Yan an Eternal Youth Elixir, I am not a stingy person either.”

She then addressed Li Qingqing directly:

“Come here, you…”

Li Qingqing, following, approached her, respectfully saying:

“Senior…”

After that, the woman in white similarly took out a Pure Jade Box and presented it to Li Qingqing:

“This is a Flawless Cleansing Spirit Elixir, refined with Cleansing Spirit Liquid, which can be used to improve one’s cultivation aptitude.”

“Now, I’m giving it to you…”

Li Qingqing was stunned, receiving an Elixir Medicine that could improve cultivation aptitude.

Lin Jing, upon hearing this, was also surprised.

He hadn’t expected that there was Elixir Medicine refined with Cleansing Spirit Liquid.

Next, Li Qingqing repeatedly waved her hands, saying:

“Senior…”

“This is too precious, I can’t accept it.”

The woman in white directly said:

“If I give you this Elixir Medicine, you keep it. I don’t like owing others, and this includes my disciple as well.”

After hearing this, Li Qingqing had no choice but to accept the Cleansing Spirit Elixir.

Seeing the Cleansing Spirit Elixir, Lin Jing was very interested and quickly asked the woman in white:

“Senior…”

“Can Cleansing Spirit Liquid also be used in Alchemy? I am also an Alchemist, yet I have never heard of this.”

The woman in white looked at Lin Jing, nodded, and said:

“Cleansing Spirit Liquid can indeed be used in Alchemy.”

“The reason you haven’t seen it is that the formula for refining Cleansing Spirit Elixir dates back to the Ancient Era and has almost disappeared.”

“Nowadays, Cleansing Spirit Liquid is also rare and almost impossible to encounter.”

“Therefore, the formula for the Cleansing Spirit Elixir is nearly lost, propagated only within some long-standing forces of the Inner Sea.”

“No wonder…” Lin Jing suddenly commented.

“Just how does one incorporate it into the Elixir Medicine without it dissipating the moment it leaves the Cleansing Spirit Pool?”

Seeing Lin Jing’s interest in the Cleansing Spirit Elixir, the woman in white then said:

“Seeing your interest in this Cleansing Spirit Elixir, here, I have a copy of the formula for it, which I will give to you directly.”

“The method for refining the Cleansing Spirit Elixir as well as how to extract the Cleansing Spirit Liquid are all recorded in that formula.”

“You can check it directly. If you can find the Cleansing Spirit Liquid, you can also try refining a few to see…”

Having said that, the woman in white wiped her Space Ring and instantly produced a Jade Slip, handing it over to Lin Jing.

Lin Jing was overjoyed as he received the Jade Slip, and then he expressed his gratitude to the woman in white:

“Thank you, senior…”

The woman in white nodded and simply said to Lin Jing:

“All right…”

“We’re leaving, farewell.”

Lin Jing and Li Qingqing, along with others, then addressed the woman in white and Han Bingyan:

“Senior, farewell…”

“Bing Yan, take good care!”

The woman in white nodded slightly, and then took Han Bingyan and the two with Zhang Jian, directly ascending into the sky on their swords…

At this moment, Bing Yan turned around and waved at the group…

Lin Jing and the others waved back, saying goodbye.

Afterwards,

they left…
