Chapter 754: Selflessness
"There is a saying, you can tell me anything you want to know directly."
"Don’t worry, I will definitely tell you everything in detail, I promise to make you understand!"
As the beggar’s incessant chatter finally ended, a voice in his ear sounded old, "You are very interesting!"
"Interesting?" The beggar was confused. "How am I interesting?"
"Your body itself is already like a disabled person, theoretically you should not be able to move or speak easily."
"But not only can you move freely, you can also speak so well, which means you either possessed this body or controlled it with divine sense."
"Most importantly, you have been soaking in my Anshen Pool for so long, don’t you feel a little sleepy?"
"Sleepy?"
The beggar suddenly yawned, his once clear eyes gradually losing their sparkle, and his face showing a strong sense of fatigue, "Strange, after you mentioned it, I do feel a bit sleepy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the beggar closed his eyes and fell backward into the water pond with a heavy thud!
Out of nowhere, an old man in yellow clothes appeared above the water pond, looking at the beggar who had already fallen asleep.
Just then, the old man furrowed his brow, looking up at the empty sky, and said, "What’s happening today, why do people keep coming here one after another!"
With a flick of his sleeves, the old man in yellow directly lifted the sleeping beggar below and disappeared in an instant.
…
At this moment, Jiang Yun looked up at the rock extending like an umbrella above his head, then he saw the water pond not far away filled with countless animal corpses, he let out a sigh.
Though Jiang Yun had no idea that he was already in the seventh level of Dao Prison and had no clue how far he was from Peach Blossom City, he knew he must have reached his destination.
Despite the smooth appearance of his arrival, Jiang Yun had actually gone through seven teleportation arrays on his way here!
The first time he stepped out of the teleportation array, he found himself in a vast deserted plain with nothing in sight as far as his eyes could see.
Luckily, Jiang Yun had a very strong intuition, and he was sensitive to the power of formations, so it didn’t take long for him to discover a teleportation array underground.
In this way, after seven continuous teleportations, each time arriving in a different environment, Jiang Yun finally arrived at the current valley.
Here, he couldn’t feel any formation power anymore.
However, he also realized that there was no sign of any living beings, no presence of life or any traces of creatures.
"The Golden Toad clan is very cautious in their actions, their headquarters must be deeply hidden and not easily found."
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yun swiftly moved to the vicinity of the pool, scooped up some water, sniffed it lightly, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.
Surprisingly, the water also had a calming effect!
Releasing the water, Jiang Yun looked around, and spoke out loud, "I am Gu Jiang, coming here without any ill intentions, only because I am a pharmacist myself, and I am interested in the noble’s elixirs that can remove toxins, so I wanted to ask for some advice."
Instead of aimlessly searching, it is better to proactively show one’s identity and intentions.
Once again, Jiang Yun had no intention of making enemies with the Golden Toad tribe.
Standing still, Jiang Yun waited quietly for a moment. There was no reaction in the valley, and he found a red pill in his hand.
Next, Jiang Yun pointed to the water pond behind him. A handful of water flew out, swirling around him and creating a dense mist that enveloped his body.
In the mist, Jiang Yun crushed the pill, letting its effects blend into the mist. With a wave of his sleeve, the mist suddenly spread out, quickly filling the entire valley.
"I also know a bit about the noble art of turning pills into mist!"
Jiang Yun was proving his identity as a pharmacist through his actions, hoping to pique the interest of the Golden Toad tribe.
However, he was disappointed once again as everything remained silent around him.
Lost in thought, Jiang Yun realized that the Golden Toad tribe seemed adamant about avoiding outsiders, yet he had his own reasons for needing to meet them.
With no end in sight to the waiting, it seemed like he would have to use some tricks.
"Since the nobles don’t want to see me, I’ll have to offend them!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yun raised his hands and started punching the rocks around him recklessly.
"*Boom!*"
Suddenly, with a series of explosions echoing, the rocks began to collapse.
Jiang Yun had no choice but to resort to force since persuasion didn’t work in making the other party appear.
However, this method didn’t work either, and Jiang Yun didn’t dare to destroy the place completely.
After fighting for a while, Jiang Yun reluctantly stopped. He then noticed the medicinal properties of the water pond behind him and wondered if it could be a type of herb.
"Does the Golden Toad clan need this herb to help other cultivators remove toxins?"
Excited by the thought, Jiang Yun waved his hand again, causing the large pond to boil.
The water in the pool surged up and turned into a water dragon, flowing continuously towards Jiang Yun’s palm.
"If you take away the water from this pool, I don’t believe you won’t come out!"
The water in the pool slowly diminished before Jiang Yun’s eyes, until only a little was left. Finally, an elderly voice sounded in Jiang Yun’s ear, saying, "Has my Taoist friend gone too far!"
Despite feeling glad at the voice, Jiang Yun calmly replied, "I admit my actions were too bold! But it was out of necessity, as I have an important matter to seek advice from the nobles."
"Is this your way of seeking advice? Do you think my Golden Toad clan is easy to bully?"
"I dare not!"
"Return the pool water, quickly leave this place, and this matter will be settled!"
It must be said that although the other party finally spoke, their attitude made Jiang Yun even more curious!
He felt his own actions were very excessive, yet the other party was unexpectedly generous. By just returning the pool water, they forgave Jiang Yun for all the excessive things he had done.
In addition to helping others expel toxins from their bodies, Jiang Yun initially thought the Golden Toad clan really did use sacrifices in exchange.
But now he knows that what they are asking for as sacrifices is actually for making medicine to remove toxins.
In short, the actions of the Golden Toad clan are purely kind deeds.
You have to remember, this is Dao Prison.
Even though there are definitely good people here, acts like the Golden Toad clan’s are truly selfless and hard to understand.
Why do the Golden Toad clan do this?
Jiang Yun’s mind raced with countless thoughts and then he spoke, "The pond water can be returned, but I truly came with a request, so I beg you to show yourself."
An elderly voice rang out again, "What if I do not show myself?"
Jiang Yun steeled his heart and decided to sound more threatening, "Then after I leave, I might accidentally reveal this location!"
After a short silent moment, an old voice spoke coldly, "Then you should not leave!"
