74: Screw you!

Southern Continent, the Shui Family.

Shui Hechuan looked at the blood-red Medicinal Pill in his hand and nodded: “Listen up, everyone. If people from the Tuoshen Institute contact you in private, take the item, but absolutely do not eat it!”

A young man from the Shui Family asked curiously, “Family Head, why is that? Many Families in the Southern Continent have now joined the Tuoshen Institute. The Tuoshen Institute is developing very quickly. If we join, we will not only receive this Divine Pill but also strengthen our Family's power. Why wouldn't we?”

Shui Hechuan looked at the young Disciple and snorted, “How could such a good thing fall from the sky and land on us?”

“Look at those who joined the Tuoshen Institute; they have to hand over their own Legacy. Didn't the Ouyang Family join?”

Shui Hechuan carefully put away the blood-red Medicinal Pill and said solemnly, “I ran into Ouyang Ming a few days ago. His strength had indeed achieved a Breakthrough in Realm, but his magic power was unstable, even weaker than before.”

“I suspect that the Divine Pill from the Tuoshen Institute has problems.”

“Furthermore, a Great Figure in the Jiesheng Sect, where my son is located, has already noticed the Tuoshen Institute and will soon be arriving at my Shui Family. Between the Tuoshen Institute and the Jiesheng Sect, I, the Family Head, know very well how to choose.”

Upon hearing this.

Joy appeared in the eyes of the Shui Family members: “Family Head, are you saying that a Great Figure from the Jiesheng Sect in the Eastern Domain is coming to our Shui Family?”

“Does the Young Lord hold such a high status in the Jiesheng Sect?”

“How wonderful it would be if the young Disciples of our Shui Family could also become Disciples of the Jiesheng Sect!”

“I heard the Young Lord say that the Jiesheng Sect is different from other Sects. You can choose any Cultivation Technique or Divine Ability you want. Our Shui Family's Cultivation Techniques are inferior to even the worst ones in the Jiesheng Sect.”

“That's nonsense. The Jiesheng Sect is a Great Sect renowned alongside the Kunlun Sect. Although our clan's Cultivation Technique is not weak, we are not qualified to compare it with those Great Sects.”

Outside the Shui Family.

The Tuoshen Institute Disciple's face turned gloomy; even the lotus flower on his brow looked somewhat dim.

“Amitabha~~~~~~~~!”

The Disciple chanted the Dao title. A lotus flower bloomed before him, and within the lotus, a seated phantom appeared. The phantom was golden, showing only an outline.

“Master of Tuoshenyuan, the Shui Family is unwilling to join our Institute.”

The phantom in the lotus nodded: “It is not unexpected.”

“The Young Lord of the Shui Family went to the Eastern Domain years ago and joined the Jiesheng Sect. This Seat had already guessed that the Shui Family would be unwilling to join other Sect forces.”

The Disciple said resentfully, “Our Tuoshen Institute will surpass Kunlun and Jiesheng sooner or later!”

“They lack Wisdom Eye!”

The phantom spoke again: “This Seat received news that the Jie Sheng Sect Eldest Senior Brother will come to the Southern Continent with the Shui Family's Young Lord.”

“They must be arriving at the Shui Family soon. Return now. It's only the Shui Family; now is not the time to break ties with the Jiesheng Sect.”

When the Disciple heard this, his eyes lit up: “Master of Tuoshenyuan, this Disciple thinks we might try to test this Jie Sheng Sect Eldest Senior Brother. If we can bring him into our Institute, it would be considered guiding a lost sheep back to the Righteous Path.”

The Master of Tuoshenyuan thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

“That is acceptable!”

“As long as he takes the Divine Pill, he will naturally realize his error and return!”

Disciple: “Amitabha!”

Master of Tuoshenyuan: “Amitabha!”

Inside the Shui Family.

Swoosh!

Accompanied by a burst of strong wind, Shen Xuansheng and Shui Yizhang landed at the Shui Family.

“Father, I'm back!”

Shui Yizhang shouted loudly.

When Shui Hechuan heard this, he immediately came out. Seeing the person next to Shui Yizhang, he immediately cupped his hands and said, “Presumably, this handsome man, possessing the demeanor of a Dragon and Phoenix, is the legendary Jie Sheng Sect Eldest Senior Brother?”

Shen Xuansheng smiled: “Shui Family Head, you flatter me!”

“The purpose of my visit to the Shui Family, the Shui Family Head must already know. Let's not waste words.”

Shen Xuansheng said directly.

In the main hall.

Shui Hechuan took out the blood-red Divine Pill and handed it to Shen Xuansheng: “The person from the Tuoshen Institute just came by, wanting my Shui Family to join, but we refused.”

The rest of the Shui Family members looked intently at Shen Xuansheng, who was seated in the main position.

Shen Xuansheng took the Divine Pill, examined it carefully, and then crushed it. A wisp of red Qi emanated from the Divine Pill.

“Perish!”

Shen Xuansheng grasped the red Qi and gave a low shout. He saw that the red Qi actually transformed into a Red Flower before being annihilated.

“This is...”

Shui Hechuan and the Shui Family members were shocked by this sight.

How could there be such Qiankun within a Divine Pill?

Shen Xuansheng, meanwhile, gasped and asked, “Shui Family Head, are you saying that the Tuoshen Institute gives this Medicinal Pill to those who join the Tuoshen Institute for consumption?”

The Shui Family Head nodded: “That's right.”

“Furthermore, after consuming this Divine Pill, one's power of comprehension is enhanced. After the Ouyang Family, which is on par with our Shui Family, joined, Ouyang Ming, the Ouyang Family Head, took the Divine Pill and achieved a Breakthrough.”

Shen Xuansheng asked again, “He achieved a Breakthrough in Realm. Shui Family Head, it seems you have sparred with Ouyang Ming. Did you feel that his strength did not quite match his Realm?”

Upon hearing this.

Shock appeared in Shui Hechuan's eyes: “How did you know?”

“Demon Shadow Flower!”

Shen Xuansheng said solemnly, “The main Materials of this Divine Pill are something called the Demon Shadow Flower. This thing comes from Beyond the Boundary.”

“The Demon Shadow Flower is actually not a divine object, but a poison. After consuming the essence of the Demon Shadow Flower, one can indeed gain the power of comprehension in a short period. But over time, if one doesn't take this Divine Pill, their magic power will regress, and their Physical Body will decay. It can be said that once consumed, if the supply is cut off later, at best, all their Cultivation will be destroyed; at worst, their Physical Body and Divine Soul will rot.”

“Even dogs won't eat this stuff!”

“When the Immortal Tribulation descends, every single person who has consumed this Divine Pill will die in the Immortal Tribulation, without even a chance at Reincarnation.”

“They will die completely!”

“Shui Family Head, according to the news you received, none of those who consumed it below the Immortal Realm achieved Immortal Ascension, right?”

Shui Hechuan thought for a moment: “Indeed, none have.”

“However, there are also Immortals who have consumed it.”

Shen Xuansheng snorted lightly: “If Immortals don't consume it, how can they be loyal to their Tuoshen Institute?”

After Shen Xuansheng finished speaking, he pointed a finger out.

“Get out here!”

Space shattered, and a lotus flower appeared.

Inside was precisely the Tuoshen Institute Disciple who had left earlier.

“Amitabha!”

The Tuoshen Institute Disciple put his hands together and greeted Shen Xuansheng.

Seeing this.

Shen Xuansheng's eyes narrowed, and he instantly appeared before the Disciple, placing a hand on his neck: “What did you just say?”

The Disciple felt like he was suffocating. Only after Shen Xuansheng lowered his hand did the Disciple speak: “Amitabha!”

“It was seen by the Master of Tuoshenyuan in a dream. All who speak this title are people of the Tuoshen Institute.”

Shen Xuansheng: “Amitabha?”

“Isn't your Master of Tuoshenyuan named Amitabha?”

The Disciple shook his head: “No, the Master of Tuoshenyuan can be called Amitabha, and everyone in the Tuoshen Institute can be called Amitabha.”

“You must be the Jie Sheng Sect Eldest Senior Brother, right?”

“May I ask if you would join our Tuoshen Institute to contemplate Creation together?”

As soon as the Disciple spoke, the look of terror in his eyes magnified.

“Die!”

Shen Xuansheng pointed a finger at the center of the Disciple's brow.

Boom!

He exploded into a mist of blood!

“Contemplate Creation together?”

“Don't I know if this old man has that ability?”

“Contemplate your Grandpa!”
