Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 356 - 353: The Plague Cleansing Bell Rings, No Epidemics Worldwide!

Chapter 356: Chapter 353: The Plague Cleansing Bell Rings, No Epidemics Worldwide!

Though the voice sounded casual and unassuming, devoid of any tangible tension or hostility.

Yet, to Sun Fenghan and Zhuo Wen’s ears, it exploded like a clap of thunder.

They hurriedly turned around.

"Who’s there?!"

In this world, some people are fierce and harsh to others, cruel and ruthless, committing every imaginable evil; while others are fierce and harsh to themselves, resolute and unwavering, never faltering.

Wang Yuan and the others had been worried that these two belonged to the second category, which is why they had hesitated to make a move.

Unfortunately, it turned out that these two Plague Dao demons, despite their high Taoist ability, belonged to the first kind, who are fierce towards others.

They simply couldn’t bring themselves to end their own lives in a dire situation and perish together with their enemy.

In fact, by the time that voice had sounded, their reactions were completely irrelevant.

Crack!

Accompanied by a noise similar to that of a ceramic teapot lid opening.

Everyone could vaguely see a semi-transparent "Suspended Pot" suddenly rise, encompassing the entire Bird Beak Slope and all the people within it.

Immediately, a strong medicinal fragrance rushed to their noses, materializing in mid-air into forms of esteemed medicinal herbs like ginseng, lingzhi, yellow essence, snow lotus, he shou wu... and so on.

Wang Yuan even saw little ginseng babies, carved and polished, with leaves growing from their heads, scampering about on the ground.

Shortly after, the medicinal fragrance condensed into tangible spiritual dew, pattering down on the war-torn Bird Beak Slope, strewn with corpses.

All things were rejuvenated and vegetation budded.

This land, contaminated by the Dharma of two sects and potentially plagued by various strange occurrences for decades to come, was cleansed in the blink of an eye.

Lush vegetation and even various precious spiritual medicines rapidly grew.

"Is this... the personal Dharma Domain of the Yellow Seal Peak’s Divine Transformation realm?!"

The cultivation at the Yellow Seal stage is the process of "Humans emulate the Earth, the Earth emulates Heaven, and Heaven emulates the Dao."

Reaching the Divine Transformation realm indicates that one has perfectly cultivated the triplet of human, earth, and heaven.

One can then attempt to create an Inner World within themselves, and upon advancing to the Green Seal Sage, even if detached from the world’s great cycle, will be self-sufficient.

Truly mastering one’s fate, no longer adrift along the current of this world.

And the Divine Transformation realm, as a precursor to the Inner World,

already allows one to create a personal magic domain wherever their Dharma Light shines, much like many ghosts and Magicians in the Ghost Path who possess their own Ghost Realms.

Divine Power Skills manifest outward, shaping one’s own home ground.

This far surpasses those Earth Gods who fall from grace once they leave their Dharma Domain.

When everyone looked again at the two demons they surrounded,

they found them already stiff as if struck by a freezing point technique, unable to speak or move, with their vast mana seemingly as lifeless as could be.

A small old man who resembled a ginseng with grass for hair and a wrinkled face stood beside them.

He reached out as if picking fruit, effortlessly taking the "Plague Treasure" from their hands.

However, he did not take their lives along with it.

Instead, he turned back to look at Wang Yuan and his party, opened his wrinkled face with a smile full of compassion, and said to them:

"These days, the youth face great pressure, it’s not easy.

I won’t take advantage of you. These two heads together are worth at least fifty to sixty thousand merits. You can keep them for yourselves."

The Precepts Taboo that must be followed by the Holy Healing Herb Technique [Four Precepts: Do not heal oneself, do not knock on doors to heal, do not treat illness as a trifling matter, do not take lives.] aside from the self-unfriendly "do not heal oneself."

Do not knock on doors to heal, only when asked can one proceed, meaning one must never knock on a door to offer healing uninvited, entry is permitted only upon the homeowner’s request.

Do not treat illness as a trifling matter, do not treat patients with disrespect, one must not treat healing as a game, dealing with every illness without personal bias and giving it their all.

Do not take lives, with the exception of the sinister and uncanny, one must not violate the killing precept against sentient beings, aside from demons and deviants since slaughtering demons and purging the weird is actually healing the world.

Capable of killing but choosing not to, the old man was indeed magnanimous.

At this moment, All Immortal Officials recognized the person’s identity and promptly greeted him with a deep bow:

"Sage Wu!"

Especially Wang Yuan showed the most joy on his face, inwardly sighing that his luck had indeed been quite good lately.

Just as he had accumulated enough merits, the Emperor Bao Sheng, the only one besides the Corpse Dissection Immortal who could easily resolve the two big troubles, appeared before him.

Even if it wasn’t his true body, this personal Magic Domain carried a fraction of the demeanor of Emperor Bao Sheng’s Inner World Suspended Pot Small Realm.

The two troublesome demons and the "Plague Treasure" that were a great concern to everyone were utterly powerless before him.

One could see that the methods of the medical Dao are indeed extraordinary.

Sage Wu weighed the "Plague Treasure" in his hand, then used his finger as a brush and the Dharma Light as ink to write a majestic Imperial Decree in mid-air:

"Gather plagues, captivate toxins, sweep clean the filth!"

This was also the power of the Plague Department Immortal.

As the final stroke landed, the Imperial Decree shone brightly with light.

At the same time, the "Plague Treasure" in his other hand blew apart with a resounding explosion, and the miasma of plague within was instantly consumed by the Magic Domain.

Only the most essential sliver of divine efficacy that commanded the plagues was absorbed into the Imperial Decree, gradually transforming into an ancient copper bell the size of a human head, landing in Sage Wu’s hand.

In just a short time, the assembly of the "Plague Treasure" was refined into a treasure for plague cleansing—the Plague Cleansing Bell!

Without any delay, the small old man, holding the bronze bell, leapt into the air and stood atop a cloud.

He raised the glowing Plague Cleansing Bell and bowed deeply in all directions.

He then chanted the Plague Extermination Spell aloud:

"Initiate the green seal’s command, enact the abyss’s rightful punishment. Golden axes lead the way, thunder drums follow in boom. Soldiers by the billions, transforming into True Spirits. In the ranks of the high heavens, dwell the mighty gods...

Condense yin with yang, and banish the source of evil. Demons and Fierce Ghosts, bound and sent to the depths. Those daring to resist will be captured and taken to the abyss. Tested by the wind-blade, may they die a thousand deaths, without pardon. Swift as the decree!"

With the Sealing Technique in hand, he struck the bell decisively.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

Suddenly, the distant sound of a grand bronze bell from Junzhou in the center of Jiuzhou, spread far and wide in all directions.

But just after leaving Beimang Mountain, the sound of the bell disappeared without a trace.

Then, in every place afflicted by the Rat Plague, it suddenly emerged from thin air, ringing in the ears of every patient who had contracted the disease because of the "Yellow-Skinned Dharma King".

It was impossible to discern where the bell sound was coming from.

Junzhou, Hedong Prefecture, Jiangliu Village.

Inside a somewhat low earthen house.

"Wuu wuu wuu..."

The repressed sobbing had been going on for who knows how long.

A woman with sallow skin and a gaunt body had already changed into mourning clothes early on.

Sitting next to the only bed in the house, with two young, innocent children who knew nothing of life and death, she looked at the person on the bed and sobbed softly.

Powerless and bitter.

The only thing she could do was to endure the agony of waiting for the head of the family in the bed to take his last breath.

The woman’s heart was filled with sorrow, as well as confusion and fear for the future. Without the mainstay of the household, the family would no longer be able to carry on.

Especially in such hard times, she feared that not even one of the young children would grow up.

However.

The man on the bed, who had been on the brink of death with only a last breath remaining, suddenly gained a bit more color in his face and slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at his wife and children, he cracked his lips to reveal a smile still tinged with weakness.

After many days, he finally uttered a complete sentence:

"Wife, pour me a bowl of water with a pinch of salt.

I need to check on our fields right away. As long as I’m not dead, nobody in this village will dare to bully you three!"

"Husband... wah..."

The woman, who had already despaired, witnessing this miraculous scene couldn’t help but weep with joy, and she hugged her man and wailed loudly.

Then it happened in Yangping Prefecture, Pingkang Prefecture, Lu’an Prefecture, Dingtiao Prefecture... to the north in Yan State, to the east in Yu State, in Dai State...

The same scene was unfolding simultaneously all over Red County Shenzhou.

The Rat Plague worms were wiped out by a bell sound carrying the power of a curse.

It also saved countless families, sparing the already hard-pressed common folk from experiencing even more tragic hardships.

——The Plague Cleansing Bell rings, and there is no plague under Heaven!

Even the vast grasslands beyond the North Border were no exception.

The "Helan Department," which had been subdued by Wang Yuan earlier, had avoided the core territory of the five Naiman departments and had migrated east, closer to the East Sea (Chapter 290).

Along the way, they continuously gathered some small tribes struggling to survive, and their strength gradually grew.

Many of their tribe members, inevitably, had been infected by the "Yellow-Skinned Dharma King" that had swept across the entire Desert North.

Today, at dawn, when the tribe members were suddenly cured without the need for medicine.

The entire Helan Department rejoiced, and under the leadership of the Saihan Shaman, they began dancing a Sacrificial Dance, reverently worshiping the one who had saved them... Old Master Wang wearing a Ding Character Mask: "Bone Bundle God."

This is the common malady of the superstitious. When misfortune strikes, it’s because I haven’t been devout enough recently; when luck turns around, it’s definitely my god protecting me.

And then, quite naturally, they attribute all the goodwill and merits of others to their own deities.

Of course, this time they did stumble upon a portion of the truth.

The Plague Cleansing Bell tolled for a full Two Hours, making sure no fish slipped through the net.

Only then did Sage Wu land on the ground and began to exchange pleasantries with the All Immortal Officials, being a healer who spent his days wandering among Mortals, he had no airs about him.

Wang Yuan also took the opportunity to present his employment request and casually showed off his million-dollar bounty.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Sage Wu looked troubled.

"Little friend Taibai, it isn’t that I’m trying to evade the matter, but recent timing has been unfortunate. Once my true body leaves, I’m afraid it will never be able to return."

He then looked Wang Yuan up and down with an expression of admiration:

"Besides, you’re even competing with the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Net. You’re clearly an exceptional talent that only appears once in several hundred years within our Nine Soldiers!

Five million should be just a year or two’s affair for you.

By that time, it’s better you ask the Great Fate to send an Avatar to help. As much as I am in need of money, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do."

Old Xu, who had been traveling all over and had a wide network, knew a bit about the situation of Emperor Bao Sheng.

He quickly informed Wang Yuan through a message about the rare attributes of the Lifebound Immortal Grass like Wild Ginseng to "Reincarnate".

Sage Wu had indeed tried various methods to cross Reincarnation and had sought help from many, which wasn’t much of a secret within the Nine Soldiers.

After hearing the explanation, Wang Yuan had an odd expression on his face.

He thought to himself, isn’t this inconvenient? This deal might not only save him money but could also net him a considerable profit.

He then solemnly proposed:

"Sage, what if we make a bet?"

As he spoke, seven or eight bowl-size lotus flowers involuntarily emerged.

A group of Thunder Gods nearby heard the word "bet" from his mouth and immediately scattered as if they had been stung, leaving a wide circle around him.

Only Sage Wu, who was unaware of Wang Yuan’s true reputation, remained unaffected.

After all, he was at the end of his Life Span with only a glimmer of hope left, and any change was an opportunity for him.

He was intrigued and nodded.

"Oh? What sort of bet?"
