Chapter 420 - Quack

Chapter 420: Quack
The two apprentices smiled, each certain of the other’s intent,
Second senior brother, you need to hurry it up with being Earth Immortal. These blokes are fatter than a cash cow. With a bit of ingenious pilfering, we’ll live for years on end!

Ling Xian nodded in all seriousness,
Better yet, we have an easy way out. Oh, let’s go teach those two lightning ferrets a bit.

Li Suyi said,
The lightning ferrets have matured yet they can resist lightning. I’ll go look for two peak Earth Immortals.

Ling Xian cursed,
Li Suyi, Master ain’t here so you steal another’s business? How can our grand and magnificent Sect Leader lower herself to becoming a mere bandit? You are in need of some disciple, it seems. Do you understand my meaning of sparring?

Li Suyi rolled his eyes, How can I not?
I will go spar with lightning ferret.

Li Suyi looked up to see the loosing Niu Dazhuang when a pretty figure with a bluish opera mask caught his eye. Ling Xian pulled Li Suyi back,
Third junior brother, look closely, ain’t that fourth junior sister?



Li Suyi peeked,
The fatty with the golden mask can’t be fifth junior brother, right?


What are they doing there?


What ‘what’? Fifth junior brother is diung business and fourth junior sister must be healing them. Her cultivation method uses acupuncture needles. Life and death hangs on their tips. I reckon she’s patching up the losing side, and gaining insight on Life and Death Daos while at it.

Wan Baqian looked around, Around the size of a river office, and a hundred times the area of Scarlet Tide Continent. This place is great. I can conduct business with all in the Galaxy!
He found a spot to pull out a cabin from his storage ring and went inside. Two vertical lines adorned the door, ‘Collecting worldly treasures, collecting the four seas’ treasures.’ And horizontally, ‘No buy backs.’
It didn’t get much clearer than this. He meant business.
Chen Lingyu didn’t go the distance and just wrote ‘Saving and taking!’ on a cloth.
Each of them opened their own little shop. Others sparred while they were open for business.
Curiosity got the best of one cultivator and was easing his way over to fatty’s side. He handed over some random and unknown stuff, unknown to him, and fatty gave some others goodies.
Of course, with reputable Wan Baqian’s black heart, how much he earned was a mystery to all.


Chen Lingyu’s trade was simple, waiting for the dying to come over.
Niu Dazhuang crawled his way over. He looked positively dying. She walked before him and he reached out for her,
S-save me!

Chen Lingyu crouched, and stared. She didn’t look too keen on saving.
The fiends around clamored,
Aren’t you a doctor? Save him!


Hury, or he’ll die!


What are you waiting for?

Chen Lingyu threw ’em a glance,
The price ain’t right.

What’s that supposed to mean?
Is this a doctor? Why the queer character?
The fiends were getting restless by the second. When Niu Dazhuang’s arm dropped, they were close to screaming,
Isn’t he dead now?



One fiend checked his breath,
Nothing. He’s dead for sure!

Chen Lingyu smiled,
Gread, the price is in place.

They watched her in panic, What’s this missy trying to do?
What does she mean?
What’s this price?
Chen Lingyu pulled out needles and stabbed three into Niu Dazhuang. In Illustrious Casket, three needles affixed the soul!
Chen Lingyu grasped them, fiddled around and pulled. As they rested in her hand, she could see the thick death energy around them.
The Earth Immortal fiends watched clueless. This was the point when the bloody Niu Dazhuang sucked air!

He’s alive!


He’s back from the dead!




Raising the dead?

Chen Lingyu asked,
What did you see?

Niu Dazhuang said,
A yellow river, an endless yellow river!


What was in it?


Nothing.

Chen Lingyu was downcast,
Don’t fight for a month, and don’t train. You have three days to pay me, or I can’t promise you won’t see that place again.

Only now it dawned on Niu Dazhuang, Did I just take a trip to Underworld River? And looked at Chen Lingyu, Did she pull me out?
I will prepare it at once!

No one dared to make sick jokes before death. Niu Dazhuang was going to give a hefty reward. Chen Lingyu went back to her littlest shop, and waited for the second patient, uh, departed.
The moment one kicked the bucket, it was a buffer time of suspended death. Chen Lingyu wanted to see what the departed saw in their suspended death, to touch death itself.
Thanks to Niu Dazhuang’s revival, plus Chen Lingyu’s particular quirk of not saving ’til dead, earned her the quack moniker.


Quack was a freak of a man, yet any could bring the dead back. Plus, no one had the nerve to haggle. It upurned the entire place. After all, Chen Lingyu’s vibe was too eerie. Since she let you die and then bring you back, it didn’t make much of a difference being live or dead.
Chen Lingyu and fatty’s shops weren’t at the entrance but in the vicinity. The entrance was too much of a racket.
Chen Ming was clueless as ever to his four ninnies’ rotten venture. He was making himself ready to bolt.
His plan to talk it out with Zhan Tianyang, to be more precise, was a tactical retreat.
News of Sage Ran Zui wanting to talk with Zhan Tianyang spread like starlight in the Galaxy. This first even showed a gesture of good faith and went to the second’s home.
Zhan Tianyang didn’t decline such good gesture and made arrangements to receive him.
Chen Ming was now ready to set under Jin Xiangyu’s instruction.
