From Zhang Lifeng's Medical Notes Wei Zhao Learns the Use of the Ten-Thousand-Year Spring Wood Box, a Box That Keeps Medicinal Herbs Fresh and Unspoiled and Can Store the Fire Spirit Holy Fruit! The Herbs Once Kept Inside Had Not Spoiled Over So Many Years Precisely Because of This Box

Yet the more it was so, the more it revealed the cowardice in Elder Rain's heart. If he could avoid fighting, he would avoid it. It was that he had no confidence within and dared not cross hands with Wei Zhao. In this way, far from achieving his aim of threatening Wei Zhao, he only added to the joke.
"And if I refuse?" Wei Zhao asked with a smile.
"Refuse? Then I shall have no choice but to risk injury to send you to your death!" Elder Rain felt a wave of disgust within. This brat truly refused the toast only to drink the forfeit, shedding no tears until he saw the coffin. How much better to hand the things over cleanly, sparing this old man the need for threats and cajolery!
"Very well, then even in death I will leave you gravely wounded." Wei Zhao said lightly. "Everyone get up. In a while, after I have beaten Elder Rain into grave injury, you two come on together and finish off this old thing. He still has a Qi Gathering Pill on him. Seize that too!"
With his jade pendant space, that supreme cheat, Wei Zhao did not fear Elder Rain at all, and with General Mighty as his life-saving trump card, Wei Zhao was not afraid to die. Or rather, Wei Zhao could not die at all.
But Elder Rain was different. With an energy bomb, Wei Zhao could absolutely blast him half dead. At that moment, Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan, two Mystic Rank masters, could press the advantage together and would be fully capable of finishing Elder Rain! Any master in the weak period of grave injury is fragile indeed. It is no rare thing for one to be slain by those beneath his rank, let alone by two masters only one rank below striking together.
Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan had long been waiting for Wei Zhao's call. Hearing his words now, the two sprang abruptly to their feet, set their inner cultivation methods in motion, and laid bare their strength, early Mystic Rank, without concealment!
"Huh?" Seeing two Mystic Rank masters, Elder Rain's eyes widened at once. How could this be? Were these two not masters of late Yellow Rank peak strength? How had they suddenly become Mystic Rank? Elder Rain was so shaken he could not speak. "You... how are you Mystic Rank?"
"We are Mystic Rank. What of it?" Wei Zhao said with a faint smile. "They hid their strength before. Is that not allowed?"
Wei Zhao would naturally not say that he had raised their strength in a short time. That was far too shocking to the world, and Wei Zhao was not fully certain of keeping Elder Rain here, so some things were better left unsaid. If some scheming person learned of this ability of his, it might bring him a great deal of needless trouble!
"Hid their strength?" Elder Rain's face was now unspeakably grim, and for no other reason than that Elder Rain no longer had absolute assurance! Before, Qiu Lingshan and Chen Yuxuan had been mere Yellow Rank masters. Though at late Yellow Rank peak strength, that was two ranks below Earth Rank, and Elder Rain had never placed them in his eyes at all. In his view, even gravely wounded, these two Yellow Rank juniors could do nothing to him.
But Mystic Rank was different. Two Mystic Rank masters joining forces against a gravely wounded Earth Rank master in a weakened state, though it would take some effort, could still manage to finish off that Earth Rank master!
