s it spoke: "Kid, don't stare at me like that. I was also forced into this.""You can rest assured, even though you are dead, I will continue to live in your place.""Even if I'm in a good mood, maybe I...As the saying goes, there's nothing you shouldn't speak of to others. If you want to know something, just ask me directly.

"Rest assured, I will definitely tell you everything in detail and make sure you understand!"

As the beggar's rambling finally came to an end, a creaky voice sounded in his ear: "You are interesting!"

"Interesting" the beggar was taken aback and said, "What's interesting about me!"

"Your body, as it is, is already like a cripple. Logically speaking, it should be incapable of movement or speech."

"But you're not only agile, but also so articulate. This means you're either inhabiting this body or controlling it with your divine consciousness."

"Most importantly, you've been soaking in this An Shen Pond for so long. Don't you feel a bit tired"

"Tired"

The beggar suddenly let out a hacking cough. His once clear eyes gradually lost their sparkle, and his face was etched with exhaustion. He said, "Strangely enough, hearing you say that, I'm actually feeling quite sleepy!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the beggar's eyes closed and he slumped backwards, falling heavily into the water.

A man in yellow robes materialized above the pond, gazing down at the sleeping beggar.

Just then, the elder's brows furrowed as he looked up into the void and said, "What is going on today People keep coming one after another!"

The old man in yellow swept his sleeve, directly lifting the sleeping beggar below. He vanished in an instant.

……

At this moment, Jiang Yun looked up at the rock above his head, stretching like an umbrella. Then he saw the pond in the distance, floating with countless animal carcasses, and let out a long sigh.

Although Ginger Cloud had no idea where he was within the seventh layer of the Dao Prison, nor how far he was from Peach Blossom City, he knew he had reached his destination.

Although it seems like Ginger Cloud reached here quite smoothly, in reality, she went through seven teleportation formations throughout her journey!

When he first stepped out of the teleportation array, he found himself in an endless expanse of barren wasteland. As far as his eyes could see in every direction, there was nothing at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun's divine sense was extremely powerful, and he was also quite sensitive to the power of formations. So it didn't take long for him to discover a teleportation formation underground.

In this way, seven consecutive transmissions continued, and each time the environment that arrived was different. This finally allowed Jiang Yun to reach the present valley.

Here, he could no longer feel the slightest trace of formation power.

But he also failed to sense any trace of life energy, nor could he see any signs of living creatures.

"This Golden Toad clan is extremely careful and cautious in their actions. Their stronghold, naturally, is hidden very deep, a place that wouldn't be so easily discovered."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun's figure swiftly moved towards the vicinity of the water pool. He extended his hand and scooped up a handful of water, placing it to his nose and gently sniffing it. Afterward, his eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance.

Even in this water, there is a calming effect!

Releasing the water from his grasp, Jiang Yun cast his gaze around, then spoke in a clear voice: “My name is Gu Jiang. I humbly come before you with no ill intentions. As a fellow alchemist, I am deeply interested in the detoxification pills that your esteemed family refines and would like to inquire about them.”

Instead of looking aimlessly, it's better to proactively declare your identity and attitude.

It's still the same thing, Jiang Yun didn't mean to be enemies with the Golden Toad Clan.

Jiang Yun stood still, waiting silently for a moment. After that, there was no reaction from the surroundings of the valley, and another pill appeared in his hand.

Then, Jiang Yun pointed at the pond behind him. A scoop of water flew out and circled around him before exploding with a deafening roar, transforming into thick mist that enveloped his body.

In the midst of the mist, Jiang Yun crushed the pill and allowed its effects to blend into the fog. With a wave of his sleeve, he dispersed the mist instantly, causing it to spread throughout the entire valley in a blink of an eye.

"The method of transforming elixir into mist, used by the nobility, I know a thing or two about it!"

This is proving his identity as an alchemist with practical action, hoping to pique the interest of the Golden Toad clan.

But he was disappointed again, because there was still nothing around.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It seemed that the Gold Toad clan was determined not to meet outsiders, while he had a reason that compelled him to see them.

This way, it's just going on and on with no end in sight, so I guess we'll have to resort to some measures.

Since the nobles are still unwilling to see me, then Gu Mou will have to offend them!

As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Yun raised both hands and unleashed a flurry of punches, striking indiscriminately at the surrounding boulders.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, amidst a series of booming explosions, the rocks began to crumble.

Ginger Cloud, this is indeed a helpless measure. With good words and pleas, the other party refused to meet, so he could only resort to force to compel them to appear.

However, this method also had no effect. Moreover, Ginger Cloud didn't dare to truly go all out and completely destroy this place.

After punching for a long time, Jiang Yun had to retract his fist and his gaze fell back on the pool behind him, pondering: "This pool actually has a calming effect. Could it be that this pool itself is actually a medicinal herb"

The "Golden Toad" clan's medicinal pills to help other cultivators dispel toxins, must they use this herb

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun's eyes lit up. He waved his hand again, and the hundred-meter square pool suddenly began to boil.

The water within surged, swelling violently and transforming into a torrent of water dragons that relentlessly flowed towards the palm of Jiang Yun's hand.

"Take the water from this pool, and I won't believe you don't come out!"

The pond water was disappearing at a visible rate, bit by bit. Until only a little was left at the bottom, an aged voice finally rang out beside Jiang Yun's ear, "Fellow Daoist, are you being a bit too much"

Although the sound brought a smile to Jiang Yun's heart, he calmly replied, "My actions were indeed too presumptuous! But it was out of necessity, because I have something important I want to ask the nobles."

"Is this the attitude you're going to take Do you think my Jin Chan clan is easy to bully"

"I dare not!"

"Send the water back to the pond and leave this place at once. Let's just drop this matter!"

To be honest, although the other party finally spoke, their attitude left Jiang Yun even more curious!

My own actions, even I felt were excessive, but the other party was surprisingly magnanimous. They only asked me to return the water from the pond, and they would forgive all the wrong things I had done.

Moreover, regarding the Jin Chan clan's practice of removing toxins from people's bodies, Jiang Yun initially thought they were using offerings in exchange.

But now he already knows, the tribute they demanded was for refining pills to remove the poison.

In short, everything the Golden Toad tribe does is purely altruistic.

You know, this is a prison.

Although it's certainly true that there are good people out there, the actions of a clan like the Golden Toad, which can be called truly selfless, are frankly beyond my comprehension.

What is the Golden Toad Clan trying to achieve

Jiang Yun's mind raced through countless thoughts in an instant, then he spoke, "Although the water of the pool can return, I truly have a request, so I implore you to appear before me."

A creaky voice sounded again, “What if I don’t show up”

Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and, instead of softening his tone, made himself seem even more vicious: "Perhaps after I leave, I might accidentally reveal the location of this place!"

After a brief silence, an aged voice spoke with a hint of coldness: “Then you may not leave!”

First released on the Traditional Chinese Novel NetworknsThe Guardian Angel obviously didn't need Ginger Cloud to answer that question, and continued on his own: "You are a cultivator. What you have touched and seen is mostly cultivators."But do you know,...
