Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Chapter 141 Promise

Immortal light flowed, and Immortal Dao mist permeated. This Immortal Medicine arrived beside Fang Ming and remained motionless, suspended nearby.

“Could it be that the fake medicine seller has already woken up?” Inside the inner world, Fang Ming’s heart was on high alert, observing carefully.

After observing for a long time, Fang Ming still couldn't discern anything.

At this moment, Little Pagoda, who was merging with the pagoda body, was startled. It flew over and asked in surprise, “Fellow Daoist also brought back this spiritual root? Isn't this medicine strange?”

Fang Ming said, “I didn't take it; it came on its own.”

“It came on its own?” Little Pagoda was surprised, then became wary. It transmitted, “Could it be that the expert who sealed himself within has awakened?”

Naturally, it knew about the conversation between Liu Shen and Fang Ming earlier.

Then, it carefully observed the Immortal Medicine. After a short while, it transmitted, “No matter how I look, it's just an Immortal Medicine.”

“How could an Immortal King expert who experimented on himself to advance further be easily seen through?” Fang Ming said calmly. At this point, he had relaxed.

As his voice fell, the foot-tall small tree shook, spewing Immortal mist and Immortal Dao essence. A small figure formed from a Dao flower expanded, turning into a normal-sized person.

Then, the small tree transformed into a ray of Immortal light and merged into the body of that being.

This being was shrouded in Immortal mist, its face very blurry. It walked to Fang Ming's side and stood still.

Instantly, Little Pagoda glowed, and innate Dao patterns appeared on its body, as if facing a formidable enemy. It believed that the being within the Immortal Medicine had revived.

However, Fang Ming knew what was happening. This Immortal Medicine was actually planning to follow him!

Because he had received a vague intent. This intent was hazy and indistinct, not clear at all.

This Immortal Medicine wanted to make a deal.

It wanted to inscribe the Dao fruits of the world, whether powerful or weak, as long as it deemed them valuable and worth inscribing and comprehending.

Now, it had taken a liking to Fang Ming's Dao fruit and planned to stay by Fang Ming's side to inscribe and comprehend Fang Ming's Dao fruit.

Of course, in exchange, Fang Ming could naturally use the Immortal Medicine fruits it bore at will.

“Did I reveal my World Cave Heaven when I took action just now, and was it sensed by it?” Fang Ming thought of the crucial point, thinking about why it would directly pursue him.

He had appeared before this Immortal Medicine before, but at that time, it had no reaction and allowed him to take three Dao flowers.

Of course, at that time, he had gone as a Spirit God and hadn't displayed the World Cave Heaven, so it was normal for it not to take notice of him.

“Pop~”

A ripple spread from the seed, shattering that being and turning him back into the foot-tall Immortal Medicine本体.

Since it was a deal, he wasn't going to be polite.

Once Liu Shen recovered, he wouldn't have to worry so much.

Looking at the re-manifested Immortal Medicine本体, Fang Ming in the inner world sighed, muttering, “As expected, the Dao flowers just now weren't real, but merely evolved from Immortal qi.”

At this moment, the Immortal tree was surrounded by Immortal qi, but there were no longer three Dao flowers, indicating that the three Dao flowers were not real.

Seeing things unfold this way, Little Pagoda exclaimed in surprise and asked, “Fellow Daoist, what exactly happened just now?”

“The being sealed within the Immortal Medicine is inscribing the Dao fruits of the world, whether powerful or weak. Just now, he took a liking to my Dao fruit and plans to follow me, using Immortal Medicine fruits as exchange…” Fang Ming briefly explained.

Little Pagoda was stunned, then said solemnly, “Fellow Daoist, this matter is too dangerous. There is an unparalleled Immortal King expert within the Immortal Medicine. If possible, don't keep it by your side.”

“If he awakens and harbors ill intentions towards Fellow Daoist, there is absolutely no chance of survival for the current Fellow Daoist,” Little Pagoda warned seriously.

In the inner world, Fang Ming was startled by these words. He realized that he seemed to have become quite arrogant, daring to keep such a dangerous and unknown entity by his side.

Shi Hao dared to keep it by his side because he was an invincible expert among Immortal Kings. He wasn't even a Supreme, so how could he dare?

Such an existence only needed a single thought, and he wouldn't even know when he died.

Dealing with Liu Shen was different because he knew Liu Shen was a good person.

“Hoo…” Fang Ming let out a long breath and said solemnly, “Thank you, Tower Brother, for the reminder. Lately, I have indeed been a bit carried away.”

“Fellow Daoist, I cannot accept this deal…” Immediately, Fang Ming's Dao sound transformed into ripples and spread, merging into the Immortal tree.

He could tell from the situation just now that the fake medicine seller sealed within the Immortal tree was not an unreasonable person and could be reasoned with.

Soon, another vague intent spread out: “I swear on my life and Dao path that I will only inscribe and comprehend the Dao fruit and will not harbor any ill will. If I have any malicious thoughts, my true self will surely die and my Dao will dissipate.”

This time, not only Fang Ming, but even Little Pagoda sensed this vague intent.

“If I gain something, I will offer a generous reward in the future. I can feel that the method Fellow Daoist cultivates is very important to my Dao path and may greatly benefit my breakthrough,” the vague intent echoed again.

Instantly, Fang Ming and Little Pagoda were no longer calm.

Clearly, a part of the consciousness of the person sealed within the Immortal Medicine had awakened, otherwise, how could it be so coherent?

“Fellow Daoist, please allow me a moment to think.” Fang Ming's voice transmitted.

The Immortal Medicine trembled slightly, without responding.

Then, Fang Ming transmitted, somewhat helplessly, “Tower Brother, the current situation seems to be beyond our control.”

A part of the fake medicine seller's consciousness had awakened, and the initiative had been lost, which made him somewhat helpless.

Little Pagoda transmitted, saying solemnly, “This person may not be an unreasonable person. If Fellow Daoist is truly unwilling, perhaps you can try to refuse this matter.”

“On Fellow Daoist, he may have seen the hope for his own breakthrough, and presumably, he is unwilling to make an enemy of Fellow Daoist,” Little Pagoda analyzed.

“Refusing this matter is probably impossible. It concerns his Dao path. If I were in his position, I would not give up easily,” Fang Ming transmitted.

“If that's the case, we can only try to delay for a period of time. If the Ancestor Sacrifice Spirit recovers, we won't be so afraid of this person, and we will have the qualifications for a real negotiation,” Little Pagoda transmitted.

Liu Shen is an unparalleled giant among Immortal Kings, with formidable strength, a top-tier existence among Immortal Kings. She is not necessarily weaker than the fake medicine seller, and recovering to her peak in this life, she is not afraid of a Ci Shen of the fake medicine seller.

“Alright, that's the only way.” In the inner world, Fang Ming nodded and transmitted.

Then, he spoke, “Fellow Daoist, what do you think of this? Currently, my cultivation is still too weak, and my own Dao has not yet taken shape. It may not be of much benefit to Fellow Daoist.”

“How about Fellow Daoist comes back after five hundred years? By then, my cultivation will have reached a certain level, and perhaps it will provide some inspiration to Fellow Daoist,” Fang Ming said.

“I understand Fellow Daoist's concerns.” The Immortal Medicine surrounded by Immortal mist trembled slightly, and a peaceful voice transmitted. He said, “Then I will come back to find Fellow Daoist after five hundred years, and we can discuss this matter again at that time.”

Clearly, he truly did not want to make an enemy of Fang Ming and was very willing to wait.

To break through the shackles of the Immortal King realm, he didn't know how many years he had prepared. He had already been trapped in the Immortal King realm for billions of years or more. Now that he had finally seen a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough, he naturally didn't want to destroy this sliver of hope.

Five hundred years is just a blink of an eye for him.

For such experts, the rise and fall of a realm and the passage of billions of years are merely commonplace.

Breaking through the Immortal King shackles cannot be achieved simply by accumulating Time.

With the dawn before him now, he was absolutely unwilling to make an enemy.

Fang Ming felt relieved and then said, “Good, Fellow Daoist can come back after five hundred years then.”

“Then it's settled.” As the Dao sound fell, the Immortal tree shook, transforming into a ray of Immortal light that pierced through the endless void and disappeared into the starry sky.

No one knew where it went.

After it left, Fang Ming looked at Little Pagoda and said, “Tower Brother was indeed not mistaken. He truly regards this matter as extremely important.”

“Just being blinded by the situation.” Little Pagoda was very calm.

Two streams of light flashed, and Fang Ming and Little Pagoda disappeared into the starry sky, returning to Stone Village.

If there are no accidents, the matters in the Upper Realm have come to an end. Presumably, no one who doesn't know their place will descend to the Lower Realm again.

Unless it is the Supreme of the Immortal Palace who personally descends to the Lower Realm.

In fact, as long as Fang Ming currently holds half of the Reincarnation Disk and has the Wu Zhong Dao Bell, he is not so afraid of the Supreme of the Immortal Palace.

That Supreme is already old and is not an Extreme Dao Supreme himself. Even if he controls the Immortal Palace, an Immortal artifact, how much strength can he exert?

If he were to immediately descend to the Lower Realm with the Immortal Palace now, Fang Ming would have no choice but to let Liu Shen take action.

But if they drag out the Time, the advantage will only be on Fang Ming's side.
