Chapter 1659: Poor Psychic Sage
“You actually used a weapon... Not fair...”
The metal hat hat fell down suddenly, trapping the Psychic Sage that had wanted to escape.
“Old thing, where are you running to?”
Xiang Chunan laughed loudly. He rushed over and smashed the metal hat on the Psychic Sage crazily, even cracking the ground.
The Psychic Sage kept screaming, “Amazing, amazing.”
“Amazing? You really aren’t afraid of pain.”
Xiang Chunan’s muscles all swelled. He grabbed the hat with both hands and slammed it down.
“Amazing, amazing... Help, you’re killing me! Help...” Seeing that asking for help was no use, the Psychic Sage pretended to be pitiful. “We have nothing to do with each other. Junior, why are you bullying an elder?”
“Nothing to do with each other? Then why did you attack me, your Lord Xiang? Do you dare say that you didn’t kick me in the butt?” Xiang Chunan shrunk the hat and put it on the Psychic Sage’s head so it couldn’t move.
Zhang Ruochen studied the Psychic Sage from the side and was very impressed. It had been hit by an Absolute Saint weapon so hard, but it wasn’t hurt at all.
He didn’t know if Xiang Chunan was holding back or if the Psychic Sage’s defensive abilities were really so good.
After beating it up again, Xiang Chunan clapped his hands and stood up. “Brother Ruochen, this saint medicine actually turned human after 100,000 years and has a mind. It’ll be weird to eat it. How about you eat it?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “If you eat it like this, it’ll indeed be uncomfortable. It’ll also be full of resentment. If it builds in your body, it’ll be bad for your cultivation.”
The Psychic Sage squatted in the corner and yelled, “Yes! I have great resentment! You don’t know how to respect elders at all. If you eat me, you’ll be punished!”
“Looking at its proud face, I’ll feel disgusted if I eat it,” Xiang Chunan said. “How about we turn it into a pill and eat it?”
“Actually, we can negotiate with it and cut off two legs for us to eat.” A strange smile appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s face.
Xiang Chunan grew excited. “Yeah! Cut off two of its legs. When it grows new legs, we’ll cut them again. This is so much better than directly turning it into a pill.”
The Psychic Sage had been eavesdropping on their conversation with perked ears. Its face instantly paled. “Amazing, amazing... My legs have resentment too. Great resentment.”
“It said ‘amazing.’ It agrees!”
Xiang Chunan borrowed the Third Yao heavy sword from Zhang Ruochen and pressed down the Psychic Sage’s neck to cut off its legs.
“Wait, I have something to say!” it screamed.
“Stop wasting time,” Xiang Chunan said. “It’s useless.”
Zhang Ruochen grabbed him. “Let it speak.”
The Psychic Sage sprawled itself on the ground and said in panic, “I can help you pick two Amazing Saint Fruits. You must’ve seen it outside the pavilion. The fruits are definitely much more precious than my two legs.”
“The purple fruits on that ancient tree?”
“Indeed.”
Zhang Ruochen exchanged glances with Xiang Chunan. They were very tempted.
But Zhang Ruochen quickly put on a careful expression. “There are ancient monsters everywhere outside and half of an ancient Supreme Saint. No matter how strong you are, you probably can’t get the fruits from under their eyes. You’re not trying to take advantage of this and escape, right?”
“How can I?” the Psychic Sage explained. “I swear on my soul that I sincerely want to help you two heroes pick saint fruits. Nothing else. As for the ancient monsters, you need not worry. I grew up here since childhood and I have the same Yin Qi as them. They won’t attack me even if I go past them.”
Unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe it at all. “I’ll trust you if you give me half of your saint soul.”
“Why do you want half of my saint soul?” it asked in confusion.
“If you dare to escape, I’ll destroy that half,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Then, your mind will be messed up and all of your cultivation will be wiped clean.”
The Psychic Sage’s teeth chattered, either in fury or fear. “Amazing, amazing. You’re so evil!”
“Since you’ve cultivated a human form, then you should already have the Way,” Zhang Ruochen said. “We won’t eat you unless you attack us first. But you purposely led us into this dangerous place and almost got us killed. You trapped us in here too, so you have to make up for it, right?
“Pick all the fruits on the ancient tree for us and everything will be forgiven. When we leave this forbidden zone, I’ll return the saint soul to you and give you freedom. How about it?”
The Psychic Sage grew thoughtful. Clearly, it was considering whether Zhang Ruochen was lying.
Xiang Chunan slapped its head, saying, “What are you hesitating for? We already forgave you and you still seem so unwilling.”
The Psychic Sage was annoyed. These people clearly broke into its cultivation land and destroyed its temple, but now they acted like they were the victims. As the true victim, it had nowhere to complain to.
But what could it do?
Under their control, it had to lower its head.
“Okay, I’ll hand over half of my soul temporarily,” the Psychic Sage said. “But I’ll only pick two Amazing Saint Fruits for you.”
“No, no, you must take it all.” Xiang Chunan shook his head.
The Psychic Sage chuckled. “If I really pick all of them, I’ll lose my value. I’m afraid you’ll turn around and turn me into a pill.”
“F*ck, you’re just a plant. Where do you get all these thoughts? You really think we’re lowly like that?” Xiang Chunan had a hot temper. He picked up the heavy sword again to chop off the Psychic Sage’s legs.
Zhang Ruochen held down Xiang Chunan’s shoulder and said, “Three fruits. Pick three fruits for us.”
“Okay, it’s set!”
The Psychic Sage took out half of its saint soul. It was condensed into a ball of light and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
After walking out of the tiny world in the wall, Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan waited into the temple. The Psychic Sage changed its form into a purple-gold sage tree. It rushed out of the temple, sometimes moving, sometimes freezing.
Clearly, it was afraid of those monsters too, but it indeed had ancient Yin Qi, so it could become one with the surroundings. The monsters automatically overlooked it.
“That old guy has ancient Yin Qi in it. Even if we turn it into a pill, it’ll be a poisonous pill and inedible.” Xiang Chunan was annoyed.
Seeing that the Psychic Sage didn’t escape and really went toward the saint tree, Zhang Ruochen grew relieved. “How strong is the spirit of your Absolute Saint weapon?”
Xiang Chunan took out the metal hat and played with it. “Spirit?” he asked in confusion.
“Absolute Saint weapons all have strong weapon spirits,” Zhang Ruochen said. “It might even be stronger than that half Supreme Saint.”
Xiang Chunan shook his head. “I don’t think it has some strong weapon spirit,” he mumbled. “Could it be because the hat’s gem fell off?”
“Can you let me look at it?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Xiang Chunan handed the metal hat over directly. “Of course. Look however you want.”
Zhang Ruochen held the extremely heavy hat and felt a burst of demonic Qi inside. It was as if he was holding a mountain instead of a hat.
The material used was very unique too. Zhang Ruochen had never seen it before. It was definitely top refining material, like Godly Steel.
“There’s only a shred of spirit consciousness.”
Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brows and checked carefully. There was a finger-sized dent at the top. It must have had the gem that Xiang Chunan mentioned before.
“What a pity! It’s an incomplete Absolute Saint weapon. Otherwise, we could use it to make our way out.”
Zhang Ruochen returned the hat to Xiang Chunan. He held his chin and brainstormed another way to escape.
“Hey, look! That old guy does have some skills!” Xiang Chunan said excitedly while licking his lips. “He already picked three Amazing Saint Fruits.”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Psychic Sage on the saint tree and also smiled.
After picking the three fruits, the Psychic Sage rushed back to the temple. It gave Zhang Ruochen the fruits and asked, “Junior, you should fulfil your promise and return my soul now, right?”
“No hurry. I’ll return it after I leave this forbidden zone.”
Zhang Ruochen handed one Amazing Saint Fruit to Xiang Chunan. He kept one and put the other one away for Mu Lingxi.
Xiang Chunan held the Amazing Saint Fruit and took a deep breath. He immediately started drooling. Showing his white teeth, he was about to swallow the fruit at once.
“Wait,” Zhang Ruochen said seriously. “The Amazing Saint Fruit grows in this place. It might be tainted by ancient Yin Qi.”
“Oh, right!” Xiang Chunan was shocked and glared at the Psychic Sage. “You helped us pick the fruits so happily. Is it because you knew we can’t eat it and wanted to kill us?”
“Please, how could I do something so lowly?” The Psychic Sage quickly explained, “Do you see the purple smoke surging out of the pavilion cluster? That smoke can purify Yin Qi. The Amazing Saint Fruit is shrouded in the Qi, so Yin Qi can’t approach it. Trust me, you can eat it with no fear.”
Zhang Ruochen had to be careful. Instead of trusting the Psychic Sage completely, he took out the Emperor Yi Bone Staff and used the Buddha’s sharira power.
Whoosh!
Golden Buddhist light flooded out, shining on the Amazing Saint Fruit.
Seeing this, the Psychic Sage immediately changed its words. “A few days ago, the purple Qi shrouding the tree scattered for two hours, so Yin Qi might’ve seeped into the fruit.”
Sizzle.
Under the Buddha light’s purification, strands of Yin Qi came out of the Amazing Saint Fruit.
Xiang Chunan’s expression changed drastically. He slammed the metal hat onto the Psychic Sage and started pummeling it. “You old thing, still trying to trick us. If my brother wasn’t careful, we would’ve gotten tricked!”
