Ruo Shui Laozu's face was as pale as pig liver, looking utterly heartbroken, as if he were about to shout "wasting resources" at any moment. Zhao Yang noticed the expression on the Short Old Man's face and snorted, "Out of all of us, why did you choose to attack my mother? I haven't even settled the score with you yet. Are you looking for a fight?"
Ruo Shui Laozu replied, "I wouldn't dare, but let me speak the truth. If your mother carries the Water Linglong, even if she doesn't waste it, it will still bring about her demise. With her cultivation and talent, she cannot withstand a powerful seal. Experts above the Great Ascension stage can easily detect the treasure on her."
"That's right, Zhao Yang. You should keep the Water Linglong for yourself; it would be useless to your mother," He Qing added. She understood her own limitations and felt grateful just to have entered the cultivation realm, able to fly and create a Golden Core. She simply wanted to see more of her son and daughter.
"Zhao Yang, this old fellow is right. You should take back the Water Linglong; your mother has me to protect her," Zhao Tianlang said as he embraced He Qing, feeling guilty for not being able to protect her during the fierce battle.
"What should we do then?" Zhao Yang asked Ruo Shui Laozu. Since Ruo Shui Laozu had said this much, if there was no solution, he wouldn't mind eliminating him. This was also a test of Ruo Shui Laozu's value.
Ruo Shui Laozu fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "Let me transform this lady's meridians. Since you know I am Ruo Shui Laozu, you must know that my expertise lies in the Water God Technique. Water is the lightest and softest substance in the world; even a goose feather can break through it. However, it is also the most suitable medium for transforming human meridians because it won't harm the body's fragile pathways. This lady has yet to form her Primordial Spirit and Primordial Infant; now is the best time for transformation. Otherwise, she will find it difficult to achieve greatness in her lifetime. Even with extraordinary talent helping her, she would only reach the Nascent Soul Stage at most. But with my assistance in transformation, not only can she become a water path genius with rapid advancement in cultivation, but she could also stabilize her progress to the Tribulation Period and potentially achieve the Celestial Path."
"How can we trust you?" King Yu asked during the silence among the crowd. They weren't disbelieving that such things could happen; they just didn't trust this person before them. He Qing was Zhao Yangsheng's mother; if anything happened to her, they would suffer great losses, and Zhao Yang would regret it for life.
"Throughout history, countless ordinary people have sought to transform their meridians, with some succeeding but most meeting their demise. For me, Ruo Shui Laozu, this is not difficult at all. To increase the chances of success, I will use my Primordial Infant to assist in transforming this lady's meridians, ensuring her safety," Ruo Shui Laozu stated.
"Alright." Zhao Yang agreed. At this moment, there was only Ruo Shui Laozu available; his Chaos True Qi controlled Ruo Shui Laozu's physical body. Even if Ruo Shui Laozu's Primordial Infant left his body, he had the Transform into Sheep Technique ready. If Ruo Shui Laozu attempted anything nefarious, he could instantly turn Ruo Shui Laozu's Primordial Infant into a Little Sheep and eliminate him on the spot.
Seeing Zhao Yang agree, Ruo Shui Laozu nodded and golden light burst forth from his body as his Primordial Infant slowly floated out—a Golden Figurine radiating golden brilliance that illuminated all directions.
Zhao Yang held his breath, nerves taut as he locked his Divine Sense onto Ruo Shui Laozu tightly, fearing any misstep. As long as Ruo Shui Laozu showed even a hint of treachery, he would immediately turn him into a sheep.
Ruo Shui Laozu's Primordial Infant hovered before He Qing, its golden fingertips releasing a faint trace of golden True Qi. Zhao Yang understood that this was Primordial Infant True Qi—the essence of cultivation itself. If he used such a method to help someone else transform their meridians, he would deplete his own vital energy significantly. However, Ruo Shui Laozu showed no signs of wrongdoing; He Qing not only felt no pain but instead radiated brilliance with glowing skin that seemed more vibrant than ever.
Suddenly, lotus flowers bloomed all around, filling the sky with their petals. With a soft sound, He Qing's Primordial Spirit floated out like an ethereal being, her beauty dignified and exuding an air of nobility. Her expression was somewhat bewildered, unsure of what was happening.
"Mother, don't be afraid. Ruo Shui Laozu has helped elevate your cultivation to the Divine Transformation Stage. At this moment, you cannot control your physical body or your Primordial Spirit. Ruo Shui Laozu is using Ruo Shui to cleanse your meridians and remove impurities," Zhao Yang comforted He Qing's ethereal form.
Meanwhile, Ruo Shui Laozu's physical body swayed unsteadily. He took a deep breath and extracted a mass of black impurities from He Qing's body, condensing it with Ruo Shui. However, his Primordial Infant lost its luster and slowly returned to his body.
"Why? By expending your Primordial Infant and True Qi to help my mother, you won't even last a year with your own lifespan. Aren't you planning to seek the followers of Ginseng King?" Zhao Yang felt grateful for Ruo Shui Laozu's significant help to his mother and set aside his previous prejudices.
Ruo Shui Laozu sighed and said, "In the Five Elements Continent, the path of water has always been the weakest. I, Ruo Shui Laozu, am not endowed with exceptional talent; I have endured ridicule from my peers since childhood. It was only after encountering an Extraordinary Person who cleansed my meridians that I achieved my current state. Since you have spared my life, I have come to terms with it. This life is no longer suited for me; even a Nascent Soul Stage youth like you can suppress me completely, let alone those followers of Ginseng King."
Zhao Yang replied, "To be honest, I am carrying Ginseng King with me. However, I must speak frankly: Ginseng King has already become a spirit and is a unique life form with the right to exist. I cannot use it to save anyone, including myself."
"I see. The rumors are indeed true: King of Participation Becomes a Saint and Heavenly Herb Immortal—those who gain the first Holy Medicine as followers are truly unparalleled geniuses born once in ten thousand years. Well then, I, Ruo Shui Laozu, was obsessed with Ascend and Ascend to Immortality in my youth; sitting in meditation for two thousand years was pointless. If I can help you—a remarkable genius—before I die and give hope to the descendants of the water Spiritual Root to become strong, then it will not be in vain for me to have lived this long," Ruo Shui Laozu said with a melancholic expression.
"No, if you are willing to follow me, you can guide my mother in her cultivation of the water path. I can also introduce another disciple to you; his name is Scholar Xiu, who specializes in water-based Cultivation Methods. Furthermore, I can tell you something: those who fail Transcend Tribulation are rumored to turn to ashes within ten years if they cannot find Ginseng King. Considering your help to my mother, while I cannot give you the first Holy Medicine, I can extend your lifespan with Holy Medicine. However, I have one condition: you must not commit further killings or take the life essence of innocent people. As long as you can endure for ten years—even if I do not encounter any fortuitous events—I can enter the Tribulation Period. Once I reach that stage, perhaps you won't have to die."
As Zhao Yang spoke these words, a powerful confidence appeared on his face. Not only was Ruo Shui Laozu surprised, but so were Zhao Tianlang, Ji Wudao, and King Yu; they knew that Zhao Yang was not someone who made promises lightly. Everything he had committed to thus far had been fulfilled. Countless geniuses throughout history had perished under tribulations—who would dare claim they could help others safely Transcend Tribulation?
"Alright, old man believes you," Ruo Shui Laozu nodded and pulled out an ancient Cultivation Method from his robe; inscribed on it were the words "Water God Technique."
Zhao Yang's Divine Sense swept over the Water God Technique and said, "You should accompany us to Xuanfo Temple; Scholar Xiu is there as well. It would be perfect for you to assess his qualifications before deciding whether to take him as a disciple."
As Zhao Yang spoke, he took out a pill from his robe and handed it to Ruo Shui Laozu along with a sprig of Holy Medicine known as Revival Grass.
Ruo Shui Laozu's face turned pale with fear. He never expected that the things he had only heard about in the past would be casually taken out by this young man and given to him. He couldn't help but feel fortunate for his earlier actions; he had underestimated this youth. Moreover, the boy mentioned that he did not intend to consume the Ginseng King, which left Ruo Shui Laozu somewhat puzzled. However, a glimmer of hope began to sprout in his heart. As long as he could hold on for ten more years, perhaps this young man really could find a way to resolve this seemingly fatal predicament.
