CHAPTER 841: CHAPTER 841: GOING BERSERK

At the gate of the Undying Sect, Wang Sheng cupped his hands toward the disciple on duty: "I am Wang Sheng from the Qingshan Sect, acting on the orders of my senior brother to deliver elixir pills."

Upon hearing that someone from the Qingshan Sect was delivering elixir pills, the attitude of the disciple on duty instantly became incredibly enthusiastic.

Previously, they heard that the Qingshan Sect had brought in a Seventh Grade Alchemist, but everyone shared Tie Shan’s mindset, believing it was nothing more than a scam.

But later, they heard that a few other surrounding sects were able to have elixir pills refined at a reasonable price, and the sect provided spirit stones for disciples to purchase them.

Yet, only their Undying Sect couldn’t buy any.

This made the disciples anxious, and they all inquired about the situation, only to find out that it was their Elder Tie Shan who had offended the Alchemist.

Although they didn’t say it out loud, deep down, they had cursed Tie Shan multiple times.

Later still, all the other sects had received the elixir pills refined by the Qingshan Sect, even the elixirs used by elders, which made the elders of the Undying Sect restless.

If it were just some Eighth or Ninth Grade elixirs, it wouldn’t matter much, just making disciples’ progress a bit slower.

But even the Seventh Grade elixirs, specially for the Golden Core elders, were unavailable, so the elders refused to let it rest and started to condemn Tie Shan.

Even the Sect Leader believed it couldn’t continue like this, so he brought Tie Shan along to admit their mistakes to Chen Nan, finally making him relent.

Now that the elixir pills were delivered, the disciples of the Undying Sect were naturally very happy.

"Brother, please come with me. The Sect Leader has instructed us to give a proper reception to the people from Qingshan Sect."

The disciple smiled warmly, leading Wang Sheng to the grand hall atop the mountain.

Master Lu Qingfeng of the Undying Sect personally came out to receive him, displaying an exceedingly kind attitude.

"Master Lu, I came here by the orders of my senior brother to deliver the pills."

Saying this, he took out hundreds of porcelain bottles from his storage bag, each containing ten elixir pills, mostly of Eighth and Ninth Grade, but also with a tenth being Seventh Grade elixirs.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng was naturally overjoyed.

"Great, Chen Nan indeed kept his word. Please go back and thank Brother Chen for me."

"I understand," Wang Sheng replied respectfully, cupping his hands, since he was facing the Sect Leader of the Undying Sect, unlike their own Sect Leader Jiang Zheng from Qingshan Sect who hardly had the demeanor of a leader.

At this moment, Tie Shan anxiously entered the hall, not even greeting Lu Qingfeng, and hurriedly approached Wang Sheng.

"Did Chen Nan ask you to bring my elixir pills?"

Wang Sheng felt disdain in his heart; when in need, he called him Brother Chen at every turn, but once done, he referred to him by his full name—such a detestable Tie Shan.

Even Master Lu Qingfeng had his reservations about Tie Shan.

Not only the sect leader, but many other elders within the sect held negative opinions about Tie Shan, as he was simply foolish, spoke recklessly, had a bad temper, and was narrow-minded.

Even when he tried to plot something bad, it was so obvious that everyone could see through it—indeed fitting the saying "muscles for brains."

"I brought it, but my senior brother said he only managed to refine one."

Wang Sheng replied indifferently, taking out a jade bottle from his storage bag.

Tie Shan’s face instantly turned gloomy. "One? I gave Chen Nan so much spiritual medicine, and he refined just one for me?"

"That’s what my senior brother told me; I am not sure," Wang Sheng’s tone remained calm, making Tie Shan even more frustrated.

Before he could explode, Lu Qingfeng spoke coldly.

"Tie Shan, Young Lu helped in refining so many elixir pills, taking time to refine yours is already a challenge, how can you be so demanding?"

"Do you really think your elixir pills are more important than those of the entire sect?"

He even thought that Chen Nan agreeing to refine pills for Tie Shan was already quite gracious.

If he were Chen Nan, being targeted by Tie Shan at every turn, he would never forgive him.

Realizing that the Sect Leader was angry, Tie Shan quickly waved his hands, forcing a smile, "Heh heh, no way, one is enough."

He took the elixir pills and threw a fierce glare at Wang Sheng before leaving the hall.

Lu Qingfeng smiled slightly, speaking gently, "Your name is Wang Sheng, right? Don’t mind what Tie Shan said. When you return this time, please thank Chen Nan for me."

Saying this, he handed Wang Sheng a storage bag.

"This is the deposit, and our sect wishes to have the same amount of elixir pills next month."

Wang Sheng put away the storage bag, cupping his hands, "I will certainly convey this to my senior brother when I return."

"Master Lu, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave. We’re still preparing for the Golden Core Grand Ceremony."

"Alright, then hurry back. On the day of the Golden Core Grand Ceremony, I will personally be there to offer my congratulations," Lu Qingfeng said with a smile.

At Tie Shan’s residence, once he returned, he couldn’t wait to take out the elixir pills.

"Haha, it’s indeed the Vein Forging Pill. Now I can advance to the second level of the Golden Core Stage!"

"But Chen Nan must have skimmed quite a bit of my spiritual medicine. That little bastard is indeed ruthless; I will definitely pay him back when I get the chance!"

After some curses, he threw the elixir pills into his mouth.

As the medicine’s effects spread out, Tie Shan felt his body being gradually strengthened, from his bones and organs down to each cell, as if they had been cleansed.

"Haha, it actually improves the effect by thirty percent compared to an ordinary Vein Forging Pill, absolutely amazing!"

Tie Shan was pleasantly surprised, growing more excited, but just at the critical moment of his breakthrough, he suddenly sensed a captivating fragrance.

Opening his eyes, he saw an unparalleled beauty before him, wearing a veil, dancing gracefully. Her soft waist was just right for holding, as slim as a water snake.

This made Tie Shan’s blood surge, his face flushing abnormally, even causing a nosebleed.

He watched in a daze, a silly grin spreading across his face.

"Heh heh, beauty, take off your veil and let me have a look."

The beauty stopped dancing, slowly removing her veil, yet beneath it was a decaying face!

"Ah!"

Tie Shan was startled, his heart skipping a beat.

Subsequently, more and more figures appeared before him, all people he had killed in the past, each with a rotting body, as if they had climbed out of hell.

Those figures slowly approached him, reaching out to grab him.

"No, no!"

At this moment, Tie Shan, confused by the hallucinations, failed to notice his blood and spiritual energy reversing their flow within his body, the massive power of the Vein Forging Pill rampaging uncontrollably through his meridians.

Blood began to seep from his seven orifices, trickling through the pores on his skin, turning him into a "bloody man."

"No!"

After all, being a Golden Core Stage cultivator, he managed to break through the illusion, regaining his clarity, but upon realizing the state of his body, it was already too late.

"No..."

His terrified voice echoed through the room as the blood and spiritual energy within him clashed violently, entangled chaotically, and then exploded within him.
