I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1620 - 1619: Divine Phenomenon

He pinched tightly, holding the White Jade Turtle firmly in his hand.

"Hmm? Still trying to struggle? Interesting!" Zhang Xiaohao chuckled playfully.

With a flip of his right hand, a golden rope appeared in his palm, unmistakably an ancient artifact of the restraining type.

"Collect——!" Zhang Xiaohao hummed lightly.

The golden rope in his hand swirled and transformed into a stream of golden light, instantly binding the snow-white turtle.

Sss!!!

Bound by the golden rope, the White Jade Turtle bared its teeth madly at Zhang Xiaohao, looking ferocious as if it wanted to devour him.

"Looks like you won’t behave unless you taste some hardship." Zhang Xiaohao smiled faintly.

With a flip of his right hand, a large pot appeared on the ground. With a few waves of his palm, he set up the pot, and with a single gesture, water from the river flew into the pot willingly.

"Brother Hei, I’ll treat you to some turtle soup." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Great! Then I won’t be polite." Hei Wuchang laughed loudly and sat opposite Zhang Xiaohao.

Zhang Xiaohao flicked his palm, tossing the small turtle into the pot, and pointed with one hand, casting a fire spell that immediately ignited a roaring flame beneath the pot.

"Brother Qu, your flame isn’t enough! With just this flame, it’ll take at least half an hour to cook this turtle! Not to mention tasting pure turtle meat." Hei Wuchang teased.

"That’s easy!" Zhang Xiaohao laughed.

He patted the storage pouch hanging on his waist, took out some niter, and tossed it under the pot.

Sizzle!

The vigorous flame immediately surged from the bottom of the pot.

"Hahaha—! This flame is quite powerful, in at most three to five minutes, this turtle will be cooked, and we’ll enjoy a pot of delicious turtle meat!" Hei Wuchang laughed.

Having a mutated turtle to eat when idle is a rare treat.

"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled, took out a "big panda" cigarette, and tossed it over, lighting one for himself.

"Brother Qu, what is this?" Hei Wuchang asked, puzzled.

"I made it myself; I call it a cigarette, also known as the ’big panda’! It tastes great, give it a try." Zhang Xiaohao smiled mysteriously.

"Alright!" Hei Wuchang didn’t doubt it, mimicking Zhang Xiaohao’s actions, rubbed his hands, and a flame appeared in his palm, lighting the "big panda" cigarette, and took a deep drag.

Cough, cough, cough!!!

Immediately, a thick smoke puffed out from Hei Wuchang’s nose and so forth.

"Brother Qu, are you teasing me on purpose?" Hei Wuchang said with a hint of annoyance.

"Brother Hei, you shouldn’t smoke like that, haste makes waste! Watch my technique, once you master it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime delicacy, it’s just because it’s you, otherwise, I wouldn’t even bother!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a laugh.

"Shall I try again?" Hei Wuchang asked.

He then mimicked Zhang Xiaohao, and slowly took another drag.

A mouthful of smoke exhaled, an unusual sensation surged in his heart.

"Wow! This cigarette called ’big panda’ is amazing! I find that during crucial moments of practice, a drag can fend off external invasions from the Heavenly Demon! It’s truly an invaluable treasure for protecting the spirit!" Hei Wuchang’s eyes sparkled.

Puff!

Zhang Xiaohao just took a drag of smoke and blew it all over his face.

"Brother Hei, don’t misunderstand! Got a bit too excited." Zhang Xiaohao said.

"No worries!" Hei Wuchang waved his hand.

"Brother Hei, did you say this thing can fend off the Heart Demon and Heavenly Demon and prevent inner demons?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Judging by my guess, it should be! This ’big panda’ effect is really good, a puff clears the mind, keeping the spirit alert, surely it can resist the Heavenly Demon and prevent inner demon invasion!" Hei Wuchang affirmed.

With that said, Hei Wuchang’s eyes brightened, and he eagerly looked at Zhang Xiaohao.

"Brother Qu, may I make an impertinent request?"

"Want some more?" Zhang Xiaohao quipped playfully.

"You understand me, Brother Qu!" Hei Wuchang said.

"Though making this takes quite some effort and a lot of time, it’s really valuable! But since I consider you a friend, oh well! Since you’ve asked, I’ll bleed a bit and give you a thousand! That’s half of my stash." Zhang Xiaohao pretended to be very reluctant.

"Thank you, Brother Qu! I knew I wasn’t wrong about you!" Hei Wuchang looked moved.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

With a wave of his hand, he put a thousand "big panda" cigarettes floating in the air.

Hei Wuchang eagerly collected all the cigarettes.

Having done all this, Zhang Xiaohao looked at the turtle in the pot.

The river water within, under the intense flames, had already boiled, reaching several hundred degrees. Forget a turtle; even a monster beast would be cooked. Yet, the turtle was happily swimming inside.

"What on earth? Is the flame not hot enough?" Zhang Xiaohao looked puzzled.

"Brother Qu, should I give it a try?" Hei Wuchang asked.

"Alright!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

Then Hei Wuchang grabbed with both hands, a black Lifebound Infant Fire rushed out from him, spreading a terrifying temperature as it appeared, the air even hissed as if unable to bear the heat.

"Go!" Hei Wuchang growled low.

The black infant fire spun swiftly, landed under the pot, and its terrifying temperature instantly reduced the pot to ashes, evaporating all the water inside.

"T-this wasn’t intentional!" Hei Wuchang looked embarrassed.

"No worries! I’ll just switch to another pot." Zhang Xiaohao laughed.

With a wave, he pulled out the Three Dragon True Cauldron, tossed the snow-white turtle inside, and then added some Spiritual Water.

With the earlier lesson, Hei Wuchang cautiously controlled his flames this time.

"My cauldron is not ordinary, Brother Hei, feel free to let loose." Zhang Xiaohao reminded.

"Alright! Then I won’t hold back!" Hei Wuchang said.

With a pinch of his fingers, the full power of the black flame burned toward the Three Dragon True Cauldron. Seeing it unharmed, Hei Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Qu, not to brag, but this is my Lifebound Infant Fire, its temperature is terrifying, rivaling some elemental fires, it won’t be long, at most five minutes, to turn this turtle into soup!"
