Chapter 66: Chapter 64: Purgatory Furnace [Seeking more readers]

Zhang Tiancheng seeing this, finally stepped forward with a chuckle and explained, "Wen, you forgot, that day during our patrol, it was your elixir that saved this lad’s life."

"Patrol... it’s him!" Wen Zhixing blinked, recalling the incident.

It was the man who had been drained of his essence. He was simply unrecognizable from before. No wonder I hadn’t recognized him. Afterwards, I even sent over two more Earth Element Pills. Indeed, he owed him his life.

But in the next moment, Wen Zhixing sensed something amiss. It seemed like not many days had passed since then. The man had almost fully recovered already, which even with the Earth Element Pills, shouldn’t have happened so quickly, right? I remembered seeing him a few days ago, and he had still looked quite withered. Even if I had given him a few more Earth Element Pills, he should not have recovered this fast.

"Senior Brother Wen, I have nothing of value to offer, I truly don’t know how to repay you..." Wang Shouzhen once again started speaking excitedly, "Otherwise, let me kowtow to you a few more times."

With that, he was about to kneel again.

"No, no, no!" Wen Zhixing quickly reached out to stop him, then said, "Junior brother, it wasn’t me who saved you that day, it was Zhang."

"What are you talking about, Wen? If it weren’t for your elixir, could I have saved Wang?" Zhang Tiancheng chuckled as he spoke.

Wang Shouzhen also eagerly joined in, "Senior Brother Wen, I know you visited me after that day. If Senior Brother Wen hadn’t given me two more Earth Element Pills, I would be either dead or severely maimed by now."

In actuality, Wang Shouzhen had recovered two days ago. He had always wanted to know who saved him. He didn’t recognize Wen Zhixing, but he knew who Zhang Tiancheng was. Wang Shouzhen first sought out Zhang Tiancheng and then came to find Wen Zhixing.

"It was just a small effort, don’t worry about it," Wen Zhixing waved it off with a smile.

"No! This is a life-saving favor. My mother once told me if someone is good to you, you should repay them double!" Wang Shouzhen shook his head, his eyes full of determination.

[This person looks at you full of gratitude, he may be worth befriending.]

Panel prompts popped up.

With a thought, Wen Zhixing smiled and said, "In the future, if I have any trouble, I’ll definitely seek your help."

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Wang Shouzhen was overjoyed. If he could help Wen Zhixing, that would indeed be wonderful.

The atmosphere immediately relaxed, and the three of them started chatting as they entered the house.

"Right, Zhang, do you have other business with me?" Wen Zhixing picked up a kettle and poured them both a glass of cool water.

The water wasn’t boiling yet.

"Well, Wen, I’ll just speak frankly then. The two of us, we’re actually here to throw in our lot with you," Zhang Tiancheng spoke very seriously.

"Throw in your lot with me?" Wen Zhixing was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

"Wen..., no, I should now call you Senior Brother," Zhang Tiancheng said with a laugh, rising to bow, "Senior Brother Wen, we all know you’re now a core disciple."

So, it’s about that. Wen Zhixing reacted. He could only give a wry smile, thinking it was something else. This so-called core disciple status, he hadn’t taken it to heart at all. In his eyes, all disciples were the same. Si Nanyan could grant him the status of a core disciple, and she could take it away at any time as well.

The reason Zhang Tiancheng said they wanted to throw in their lot with him was because each core disciple would have a few exclusive furnaces. These furnaces wouldn’t be touched by other disciples of the Wonderous Palace. If they became Wen Zhixing’s "exclusive furnaces," their futures would be secure.

"You all know?" Wen Zhixing asked, surprised. He had thought that Qiu Yinger was just speaking casually or that she was just giving him a nominal status. But now, it seemed to be a bit more serious.

"Yeah, the whole sect has been informed about it," Zhang Tiancheng nodded.

Wen Zhixing immediately frowned. He felt it was all very baffling, as if it were real.

"My core disciple status is in name only," Wen Zhixing shook his head, "Zhang, you should keep calling me junior brother."

"Alright, Wen, I really didn’t misjudge you," Zhang Tiancheng said, slightly moved. Before coming here, he was somewhat afraid that Wen Zhixing had changed, or to be more accurate, had been completely subdued by the Wonderous Palace. Now it seems everything is still the same.

"Senior Brother, I’ll handle this matter," Wen Zhixing agreed, then jokingly added, "Then you two will have to take good care of me in the future." He naturally wouldn’t shirk from helping. After all, both of them were not too bad.

"Haha, Wen, what are you talking about? I can give Senior Brother a massage right now," Zhang Tiancheng responded with a laugh.

Wang Shouzhen was taken aback, then thought for a moment and earnestly said, "Then... shall I wash Senior Brother’s feet?"

"Wang, don’t take such playful remarks seriously," Wen Zhixing waved his hand and laughed.

It seemed as if something occurred to him, and he casually inquired, "By the way, Wang, how did you recover so quickly?" Wen Zhixing was somewhat curious in his heart. This Wang Shouzhen must have obtained some kind of opportunity. And it was several enormous opportunities at that. Those one gold and two purple Fortune Fragments couldn’t lie to anyone.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouzhen instantly displayed a troubled expression.

"I was being presumptuous, Wang," Wen Zhixing realized his mistake and hurriedly spoke up. He had just asked casually and didn’t expect Wang Shouzhen to really tell him everything. Everyone has secrets, and he was no exception.

"Senior Brother Wen, you and Zhang have both saved my life. In that case, I won’t hide this matter from you." Unexpectedly, Wang Shouzhen stood up, his demeanor serious as he said, "Actually, I... seem to not be of the human race."

"Not of the human race?" Both Wen Zhixing and Zhang Tiancheng were somewhat astounded.

"I also don’t understand what happened. After I took the Earth Element Pill that day, I discovered some changes in my body," Wang Shouzhen scratched his head and said, "My mind also has some additional things in it..."

"That’s enough, Wang. Don’t speak any further," Wen Zhixing cut him off. "Regarding this, you should not tell anyone else in the future." He understood now. This Wang Shouzhen likely had some ancient bloodline awakened. And he also inherited some legacy along with it. Wang Shouzhen was indeed very candid, to speak of such things openly.

Afterward, he turned to glance at Zhang Tiancheng. Zhang Tiancheng immediately nodded, showing that he was aware.

"I won’t tell others. I trust Senior Brother..." A naïve smile appeared on Wang’s dark face. His thought process was very simple. Wen Zhixing had saved his life; it didn’t matter if he disclosed this little secret.

"This kid isn’t very sharp," Wen Zhixing immediately shook his head. He was too naive.

The three of them had another round of idle chat. After a while, the two of them bid farewell and left.

However, before leaving, Zhang Tiancheng leaned in close to Wen Zhixing and coughed, saying, "Wen, you need to be careful recently."

"Careful..." Wen Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unchanging, "Is someone trying to do me harm?"

"It’s not that exactly..." Zhang Tiancheng hesitated.

"Senior Brother, do you know something?" Wen Zhixing looked at Zhang Tiancheng.

"I..." Zhang Tiancheng took a deep breath and said, "The people from the Righteous Sun Sect have always asked me to watch you, and this time it seems there is some action. Wen, you need to be careful."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, I understand." Upon hearing this, Wen Zhixing nodded, his demeanor growing more serious.

"Good, as long as you know." Zhang Tiancheng spoke, then took Wang Shouzhen and departed.

"The Righteous Sun Sect... is it Mu Yunqing again?" Wen Zhixing’s brows furrowed, but he soon smiled. Let them be. He will face the soldiers when they come and cover the water when it flows.

"Oh right, I haven’t opened that Purple Fortune yet," Wen Zhixing remembered and directly opened the panel to initiate the fortune.
