Chapter 54 - Wandering God

Boom!

The sound of the wooden bat hitting the ground heavily could be heard amidst a cloud of dust and dirt. The heavy bat was raised up and then smashed down toward the ground, again and again.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang was being propped up by Bai Lingmiao as they observed Simpleton swinging the club around. Even though the wound on Li Huowang’s neck hadn’t completely healed, after resting for a few days, he could finally muster enough strength to stand.

“Stronger! Swing it harder!” Li Huowang shouted.

By the campfire, Lu Zhuangyuan took two buns and chuckled as he walked over. “Young Taoist, what are you doing? There’s so much noise.”

Under Simpleton’s attacks, the surrounding forest had been reduced to a mess of leaves and broken tree branches.

“Nothing much. I felt that it was a waste to let him only carry luggage considering how strong he is. So, I’m training him,” explained Li Huowang.

“Oh, that’s good, that’s good,” Lu Zhuangyuan nodded and walked away.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang returned his gaze to the shirtless Simpleton, who was drenched in sweat, and he continued training him. Even though he might be a little... lacking in terms of brains, his body was incredible. Li Huowang sighed as he observed Simpleton’s massive back and waist.

What a strong body! Sure, he might not be able to fight off the supernatural stuff, but at the very least, he should be able to fend off the bandits quite easily.

This was Li Huowang’s plan. He wanted to strengthen their abilities. Relying solely on the Wandering Gods and Dan Yangzi was not possible, as the side effects were far too harsh. Even in a world with many bizarre cultivation techniques and powers, he still knew the value of traditional fighting methods.

It might appear barbaric, but it was still better than nothing. This composition is securely entrenched in n0v*lbin★

Even if they were not fighting enemies, at the very least, if Li Huowang started suffering from hallucinations again, they could still protect him.

“Alright! That’s one hundred! You can rest now,” said Li Huowang.

Hearing this, Simpleton threw his club and walked toward the campfire, panting heavily. Then, he picked up his large bowl and started eating without any restraint.

Soon, half a kilogram of noodles had been devoured by him. Even so, Simpleton was visibly hungry and returned to the black pot to get more noodles.

When Li Huowang saw how Simpleton downed yet another half a kilogram of noodles, he felt somewhat impressed.

So it’s true that someone who is weak in the mind would have an extremely strong body. Luckily, I have quite a bit of money or I would go broke just trying to feed him.

He could not handle the nausea anymore and vomited.

Soon, the sound of the bell faded and everything around him returned to normal. The Wandering Gods had all disappeared.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang vomited the meal he had just eaten until there was nothing left in his stomach. He kept vomiting until he almost started vomiting bile.

Standing up shakily, he wiped his mouth and panted while looking at the bell.

If I had known this beforehand, I wouldn’t have needed to mutilate myself to summon Dan Yangzi.

He stored the bell as he pondered.

No, every time I give one of them an order, I need to sacrifice three months of my lifespan. Using so many of them would’ve probably cost me at least ten years of my life.

Li Huowang slowly walked back to the camp as he supported himself with the help of the trees.

Just as he reached the roadside, he saw everyone, including Lu Zhuangyuan, huddled together.

“Come here, everyone! All of this is good stuff! If anything here is of bad quality, then I, Zu Dexi, swear that I will suffer from endless misfortune and my descendants will all live like livestock!”

Li Huowang went over and saw that it was a merchant and his mule cart. He was advertising his wares.

Bai Lingmiao and Chun Xiaoman were on one side, gazing at some needles.

“This is such a dangerous world, and you are out here selling all this stuff on your own? Aren’t you afraid of being robbed?” asked Li Huowang.

In the face of Li Huowang’s question, the man who had a mole at the edge of his lips smiled and didn’t bother explaining himself.

“Taoist, do you need some cinnabar? I have plenty right here!” said the merchant.

Lu Zhuangyuan approached Li Huowang and whispered to him with disgust in his voice. “The bandits would never rob him! After all, he’s in the same line of business as the bandits. The bandits would rob stuff from people while he would purchase it from them!”

“I see...” Li Huowang nodded. That’s true. The mountain bandits would also need to sell off their items to be able to get money and food. These kinds of merchants that traveled around on their own would be their best option for privacy.

“Taoist, if you don’t want any cinnabar, then how about something else? I have quite a few options!” Zu Dexi didn’t even blink as he continued to peddle his wares.

Li Huowang thought about it and asked, “You have other options? Do you have something that I can use to kill people with?”

Everyone else turned and stared at Li Huowang the moment he said that.

On the other hand, Zu Dexi excitedly clapped his hands and started rummaging around in his mule cart. “Yes! Yes, I do!”
