I am really not a medical immortal.

Chapter 1939 - 1938: Collusion

Time passed, and half a month flew by in the blink of an eye.

During that time, Zhang Xiaohao spent his days reading. Although his mindset had improved and the issue of the Evil Qi was completely resolved, reading could enhance his righteous aura. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohao enjoyed this peaceful and quiet way of life.

At night, Zixin would take care of him, tending to him meticulously.

Putting down the book in his hand, Zhang Xiaohao gazed toward the ground and murmured to himself, "Is it here already?"

"Master, I’ll head back now!" Zixin said.

"Mm, you go in first. I’ll call for you when needed." Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"Mm." Zixin nodded understandingly.

Whoosh!

Instantly, her figure flashed and transformed into a streak of light, diving into Zhang Xiaohao’s arm.

Once Zixin was gone, Zhang Xiaohao’s mind shifted, and he entered the Xuantian Space to communicate with Hei Wuchang.

Hei Wuchang’s figure flashed and he appeared in front of Zhang Xiaohao.

"Brother Zhang, it’s been a long time since you summoned me. Is there something unsolvable this time?" Hei Wuchang said with a smile.

He puffed out clouds of smoke, a Zhonghua cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Can’t I call you out for no reason?" Zhang Xiaohao retorted with a roll of his eyes.

"Of course, you can!" Hei Wuchang laughed.

"So much time has passed, and you’ve eaten plenty of opportunities. How can you still be stuck at the half-step Mahayana realm?" Zhang Xiaohao asked puzzled.

"Sigh! Brother Zhang, you don’t understand! The path of cultivation is incredibly difficult! Especially now at my stage—forget moving forward a step, even half a step requires countless resources! Moreover, breaking through is even harder for us True Spirits; either you sleep for tens of thousands of years and maybe wake up in the Mahayana realm, or suffer through like me! You ask me, someone stuck at the threshold of the Mahayana realm, to sleep for thousands of years—I can’t bear such prolonged loneliness!" Hei Wuchang said bitterly.

"Isn’t it normal for your True Spirit race to reach the Mahayana realm when you reach adulthood?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Brother Zhang, that’s achieved by sleeping! Lying on a mountain of treasures, sleeping for twenty or thirty thousand years—the loneliness is truly terrifying! I could never do it even if you killed me." Hei Wuchang said grimacing.

"Didn’t you empty the elder’s inventory from your clan? With your Dragon Clan’s special fondness for treasures, aren’t these enough for your breakthrough?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"They’re all used up!" Hei Wuchang said miserably.

"Are you a pig? You couldn’t have consumed an adult True Spirit’s treasures in such a short time even if you ate lying down!" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed in surprise.

"I can eat standing up!" Hei Wuchang replied earnestly.

"..." Zhang Xiaohao was speechless.

Facing such a character, what could he say?

"Brother Zhang, is there something you need to do this time you called me out?" Hei Wuchang asked.

"I’m being hunted. Half a month ago, they sent dozens of Mahayana realm old monsters after me, along with millions of cultivators. Over these two weeks, all those who should have arrived have come; there are at least several hundred Mahayana realm monsters, and several tens of millions of other cultivators." Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.

"You’ve been chased again? Brother Zhang, your knack for causing trouble is extraordinary! Don’t tell me you went into the Ancient Battlefield again?" Hei Wuchang was shocked.

Ever since meeting Zhang Xiaohao, he was either on the run or causing trouble—his ability to stir up the heavens was truly formidable.

"Sigh! This time it’s not my fault. I just wanted to quietly pass through their territory, but some insolent fools jumped out trying to capture me for some evil artifact ritual. So, I slaughtered them! After killing them, another group jumped out to make trouble, so I killed them too! Faced with their incessant threats, anyone would have reason to be angry, and I destroyed a city of theirs where they incidentally had members of my clan as sacrifices! Thus, I killed more, and eventually took out a Mahayana realm cultivator and a high-status female disciple—said to be one of their ancestors’ thousand True Disciples!" Zhang Xiaohao explained seriously.

"You’re impressive! Brother Zhang, you’re the one I admire most!" Hei Wuchang said, giving a thumbs-up.

"Enough with the flattery. You need cultivation resources, right? We happen to have a great opportunity before us. If we wipe them all out, you can swallow their Nascent Souls and keep all their treasures. I only want their storage bags and magic artifacts, while the cultivation materials are yours! Once we obliterate them, we’ll annihilate ten nearby cities as a lesson!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.

"Alright! Let’s do it, but I’ll need your three Mystic Sky Treasures to assist me, otherwise it might be tricky to deal with them!" Hei Wuchang said.

"Take them." Zhang Xiaohao casually tossed over the Xuantian Extreme Demon Sword.

Hei Wuchang accepted it unceremoniously, catching the three Mystic Sky Treasures with one hand.

"Let’s go! We’ll eliminate them now." Zhang Xiaohao beckoned.

"Brother Zhang, eliminating them isn’t urgent. Once we’ve had our fill, it’ll be their time to die!" Hei Wuchang said, his killing intent overwhelming.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

With a flip of his right hand, Zhang Xiaohao took out some food from the Shennong Ring, laying it on a table conjured by Spiritual Power, and the two began to eat.

An hour later.

Zhang Xiaohao and Hei Wuchang finished eating and stood up from their chairs.

"Brother Hei, are you ready?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Mm! I’m ready." Hei Wuchang nodded.

"Come!" Zhang Xiaohao beckoned with his right hand, and the surrounding formation flags flew into his hand like a streak of light and were stored in his waist pouch.

"Great Covering Sky Reincarnation Thin Cloud Technique!" Zhang Xiaohao roared, grabbing Hei Wuchang’s body and flashing into the space, using his mind to gather the surrounding Power of Reincarnation.

This period drained Zhang Xiaohao greatly to maintain these Powers of Reincarnation.
