Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 422: Meridian Remodeling! Breaking Out of the Cocoon into a Butterfly! (3)

“Rest assured, I, Zheng Feisha, have always kept my word. A corpse of an Innate Martial Artist… is something that fighters from the Evil Sect’s Demon Gate are willing to pay a great price for! As for killing a Martial Artist in the Qi-Blood Realm? It’s nothing more than the effort of raising my hand!”

The cold man known as Zheng Feisha smiled faintly.

Though Wang Xinjian wanted to get rid of Qian Rui, Qian Rui’s strength was no less than his own, and he had always been guarding the Heaven Silkworm Cave. If he acted on his own to eliminate him, he would instead become a traitor to his sect.

It was then that Wang Xinjian thought of enlisting ‘Zheng Feisha’ to act.

Zheng Feisha was a famous lone Martial Artist within Central State.

Zheng Feisha was a Martial Artist from a small sect, possessing extraordinary talent. He cultivated all the way to the peak of the Qi-Blood Realm, but, lamentably devoid of Innate Qi, stalled at the barrier of that realm, unable to advance further. He then traveled the world, exploring far and wide, searching for locations of scenic beauty that might harbor Innate Qi not yet claimed by major powers, hoping to chance upon a strand of Innate Qi. It was completely a matter of luck.

Fortunately, Heaven does not disappoint those who try. After twenty long years, Zheng Feisha successfully found a wisp of Innate Qi and thus stepped into the ranks of Innate Martial Artists. He became quite a renowned figure in Central State!

Previously, when Wang Xinjian got in touch with Zheng Feisha, he knew that as a Martial Artist from a small sect, enticing him to make a move was not a difficult task.

And the reward Wang Xinjian offered to Zheng Feisha was very simple: the body of Old Man Qishi!

An Innate Martial Artist’s body doesn’t decay for years, nearly decades after death, because it contains Innate Qi. And the Demon Gate of the Evil Sect possesses secret techniques that can extract Innate Qi from the corpse of an Innate Martial Artist!

Therefore, the corpse of an Innate Martial Artist holds immense value. Upon hearing the news conveyed by Wang Xinjian, Zheng Feisha was undoubtedly moved.

Old Man Qishi was the oldest among the few Innate Martial Artists in the Spirit Taoist Sect, with profound cultivation. Such a body sold to the Evil Sect or Demon Gate could bring many cultivation resources beneficial even to an Innate Martial Artist like himself.

Thus, Zheng Feisha agreed to Wang Xinjian’s invitation, leading to the current scene.

With Wang Xinjian’s interior support and a provided route, Zheng Feisha effortlessly infiltrated the Spirit Taoist Sect, journeying with Wang Xinjian to this secluded rear mountain forbidden area.

While observing the surroundings, Zheng Feisha said, “Wang Xinjian, you best not deceive me! If Old Man Qishi isn’t dead, I’ll turn and leave, and with my skills, escape will be easy. By then, you’ll be in a dire state!”

“Rest assured… I’m sure my master has already died while meditating!” Wang Xinjian said. He was privy to the inside story, knowing that Old Man Qishi was undertaking a deadly retreat and that not emerging from it for so long could only mean he had died while meditating.

As the two arrived outside the Heaven Silkworm Cave, Wang Xinjian’s complexion changed because there was no one at the entrance to the cave.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t Qian Rui guarding the entrance?”

Wang Xinjian was puzzled. He knew that Qian Rui was a stickler, always standing guard outside the Heaven Silkworm Cave, never leaving his post. Wang Xinjian had tried repeatedly to sneak into the secluded area, always finding Qian Rui undeterred by wind or rain, never giving him a chance.

But now Qian Rui was not at the entrance to the Heaven Silkworm Cave? Could it be that he had gone inside to rest?

“Let’s go.”

With a curved saber hanging from his waist, Zheng Feisha stepped into the Heaven Silkworm Cave alongside Wang Xinjian.

“The stone chamber has been breached?”

Inside the cave, seeing the debris of the thick stone door to the passage, Wang Xinjian’s mouth twitched. Could it be that Old Man Qishi had emerged from seclusion?

Impossible! If Old Man Qishi had truly emerged, it would undoubtedly be huge news. The whole Spirit Taoist Sect would be celebrating with banquets, and as Old Man Qishi’s eldest Disciple, he couldn’t possibly be unaware!

“Damn it! Could it be that Qian Rui has been guarding the Heaven Silkworm Cave in preparation to stealthily learn the Heaven Silkworm Technique and monopolize the Hundred Herbs Medicinal Liquid left by our master? What deep scheming!” As Wang Xinjian’s expression abruptly changed, he realized why Qian Rui refused to leave the Heaven Silkworm Cave.

So it turned out that Qian Rui was planning to guard and steal for himself!

Wang Xinjian hastened his pace, rushing with Zheng Feisha deeper into the limestone cave of the Heaven Silkworm Cave.

When they clearly saw the scene before them, both Wang Xinjian and Zheng Feisha were somewhat shocked.

In the dimly lit limestone cave, pieces of Crystal Stone emitted a faint glow, and not far away, a person lay against the wall, sound asleep, but was now startled awake. It was Qian Rui!

Apart from Qian Rui, a white-haired elder sat cross-legged with his head drooping, none other than Old Man Qishi, devoid of any sign of life, nor could a trace of a heartbeat or breath be heard. He had indeed died while meditating!

But what caught their attention most was in the pond—a white cocoon, over a meter in diameter, was quietly suspended, a faint light shimmered on the surface of the white silk.

“What’s going on here? It’s certain that my master has passed away… then who is the person in the pool? It’s a cocoon formed by the Heaven Silkworm Technique… But apart from my master, there’s no second person in our sect who knows the Heaven Silkworm Technique!”

Wang Xinjian looked blankly at the cocoon in the pond, unable to comprehend the situation before him.

“Senior brother? Why have you come? And who is this person? He is not from our sect!”

The awakened Qian Rui was equally astonished to see the two who had suddenly burst in. He recognized one as Wang Xinjian, and as for the stranger Zheng Feisha, he immediately became wary, sensing in Zheng a terrifying presence, but the face was unfamiliar; there was no such expert in the Spirit Taoist Sect!

“Hm? A third person too?”

Zheng Feisha also frowned slightly; a third individual had appeared in the Heaven Silkworm Cave, and this one was clearly no mediocrity. The only thing that pleased him was that Old Man Qishi was indeed dead, and his corpse could certainly fetch a high price when sold to the Evil Sect and Demon Gate.

“Mr. Su! Someone has come!”

As Zheng Feisha’s eyes greedily fixed on Old Man Qishi’s corpse, Qian Rui realized that the newcomer was baleful and hastily called out toward the distant cocoon.

“Crack crack crack!”

A series of cracking sounds followed, and the meter-diameter white cocoon fragmented, its pieces scattering like a flurry of butterflies!
