48: No destruction, no construction

Not long after, Ji Wuchang returned to his small courtyard and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wuchang, be careful. There is a peerless expert in your room. Do not call out to me, or you will be discovered by the other party!"

Just then, Ji Yaoyao's voice suddenly rang in Ji Wuchang's ear, making his hair stand on end instantly.

To be called a peerless expert by Ji Yaoyao, the other party's cultivation must surely be above hers.

One must know that Ji Yaoyao was in the supreme realm during her lifetime. Although Ji Wuchang didn't know which layer of the supreme realm she had reached, anyone who could attain this Realm was capable of dominating an entire region!

At this moment, Ji Wuchang felt as if his heart had leaped into his throat!

But since it had happened, he naturally had to face it. Even if he took out a Teleportation Talisman, he wouldn't be able to escape the perception of such a powerhouse.

Then, Ji Wuchang immediately realized one thing: if the other party wanted to harm him, they could just slap him to death directly; there was no need for such secrecy.

Even if they slapped him to death right in front of the Changsheng Sect's Old Ancestor, no one in the Changsheng Sect would dare to voice any objection!

After understanding this, Ji Wuchang instantly relaxed. Without any hesitation, he pushed open his room door.

The door opened to reveal an old man in coarse hemp clothes sitting on the prayer mat where Ji Wuchang usually cultivated, staring at Ji Wuchang with great interest.

The moment he saw the old man, Ji Wuchang's head buzzed. He knew who this person was; he was Senior Sister Zhen Miaoqing's Revered Master.

Back then, Senior Sister had left the Changsheng Sect after the competition ended.

In his previous life, Ji Wuchang hadn't paid attention to these matters. He had thought Senior Sister went out to train on her own, but now he realized he was wrong.

Senior Sister had already taken a Revered Master; she simply left with her Revered Master after completing the Sect Grand Competition!

"Junior Ji Wuchang greets Senior!"

Ji Wuchang cupped his fists toward the old man with a calm expression, his attitude exceptionally respectful!

The old man looked at Ji Wuchang with surprise, then spoke calmly, "What an interesting little fellow. You know me?"

Ji Wuchang's mind raced, but the expression on his face did not change!

"This Disciple does not dare to hide anything. If I have guessed correctly, you are the Revered Master my Senior Sister mentioned!"

Time was too short, and Ji Wuchang really couldn't think of many reasons, so he simply steeled himself and said it!

Just then, a terrifying pressure suddenly appeared, acting upon Ji Wuchang's body!

Caught off guard, Ji Wuchang almost knelt down on the spot!

Ji Wuchang felt as if a small mountain had been placed on him. His entire body's bones were trembling, and large beads of sweat instantly broke out all over him!

"Do you know the consequences of lying before a Supreme?"

"Never mind a tiny Qi Refining Cultivator like you, even your entire Changsheng Sect could be extinguished by me with a flick of my finger!"

A sense of endless majesty was added to the old man's words.

As his words spread, they were even more like a Divine Decree, making Ji Wuchang unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance!

Ji Wuchang's heart struggled wildly, and a voice in his head seemed to be telling him to confess everything.

Ji Wuchang bit the tip of his tongue, and a sudden burst of sharp pain brought him back to his senses.

Cold sweat poured off Ji Wuchang. In just about two breaths, he was already soaked through.

"Senior, this Junior does not dare to lie. I accidentally heard Senior Sister mention it; otherwise, it would be impossible for me to know of Senior's existence!"

Ji Wuchang's whole body trembled as if he were carrying a small mountain. His feet had already sunk deep into the ground!

Ji Wuchang felt his bones vibrating throughout his body, and humming sounds were constantly coming from them!

This was the signal that his bones had reached their weight-bearing limit!

Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, the old man couldn't help but snort coldly. Instantly, an even more powerful pressure acted upon Ji Wuchang's body!

*Crack!*

Ji Wuchang's feet finally couldn't hold out any longer; the flesh burst open, and then the bones of both legs snapped directly.

At the moment the bones broke, a wisp of black gas drifted out from the fracture, turned into black smoke, and vanished without a trace!

Ji Wuchang's face contorted with pain, and the intense agony almost made him faint.

"Am I going to die? I am not willing!"

A voice screamed frantically in Ji Wuchang's heart. He didn't understand why this old man was doing this!

"I will give you one more chance. How did you know of my existence? If you dare to deceive me, I will turn you into ashes instantly!"

The old man's words came, and an even more terrifying pressure acted on Ji Wuchang's body.

*Crack!*

Dozens of bones in Ji Wuchang's body broke in succession. This kind of pain made him like a puddle of mud, collapsing limp on the ground!

Ji Wuchang struggled to lift his head, and a look of unyieldingness appeared in his eyes.

Even if he died, he could not reveal the secret of living another life; otherwise, he would definitely have no chance of survival.

"Senior, I did not lie!"

With just these seven words, Ji Wuchang seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.

The old man looked at Ji Wuchang, and Ji Wuchang stared back at him fixedly, refusing to back down!

*Crack!*

Dozens more bones in Ji Wuchang's body broke. At this moment, he couldn't even lift his head, completely like a puddle of mud, fallen before the door!

The coldness in the old man's eyes had long since vanished, replaced by a deep look of appreciation!

With a wave of the old man's hand, a Medicinal Pill flew out. Before Ji Wuchang could react, it was sent directly into his mouth.

At the same time, the old man pointed his finger, and a drop of Golden Blood flew out, merging into Ji Wuchang's body.

In an instant, Ji Wuchang's shattered bones reassembled and then healed rapidly!

That drop of Golden Blood split into two hundred and six small drops, merging into all the bones in Ji Wuchang's body.

With the integration of this drop of Golden Blood, Ji Wuchang's injuries were instantly restored, and his bones emitted a lustrous glaze.

At this moment, Ji Wuchang felt his Physical Body strength increase several times over. This left him a bit dazed, not knowing what the old man was up to!

"Thank you, Senior!"

Although Ji Wuchang was very confused, he still hurriedly cupped his fists and spoke.

The old man nodded and then spoke calmly, "You kid actually suit my taste and possess great perseverance! Although I clearly know you are lying, for Miaoqing's sake, I will grant you this fortune!"

"Golden Skin and Jade Bone, destruction before creation! What you achieved before was merely superficial!"

"If you were to fight that Big Guy now, he might not even be able to take a few of your punches!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuchang was instantly enlightened. He finally understood the other party's intention!

"Thank you, Senior!"

The previous thanks was reluctant, but this one was absolutely sincere!

The old man's action just now was equivalent to laying the strongest Foundation for Ji Wuchang's future path of Cultivation!
