Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2519: Searching For Her a Thousand Times in the Crowd

“Why?” the Saintess anxiously asked.

Zu An glanced at her in surprise. Why is she so concerned? “I once used an immortal medicine to save Honglei. Aside from the immortal medicine, you have to find the person’s soul as well. Neither can be missing in the equation.”

“You seem to have deep ties with the underworld. Is there a way to find someone’s soul?” the Saintess asked.

Zu An shook his head. “I’ve checked. For some reason, the netherworld doesn’t exist in this world.”

The Saintess widened her eyes. She seemed to have thought of something and decided not to probe further.

Zu An continued, “In the absence of the netherworld, deceased souls wander the world aimlessly without anywhere to go. Some dissipate swiftly, and some morph into vengeful spirits. It’s nigh impossible to find Yayu’s soul.”

While they were talking, the Kaiming Six Shamans had already concluded their ritual.

Wu Di exclaimed in excitement, “He’s moving, he’s moving! The immortal medicine works!”

Zu An regretted not asking to see what their immortal medicine was. It hadn’t been easy for him to find a Divine Dragon Immortal Medicine in the future. It would be great if he could find another immortal medicine in this world.

The surrounding life force gushed into the corpse on the stone platform. The corpse’s hands and legs shook before it slowly opened its eyes.

“He has been revived!” The Kaiming Six Shamans cried tears of joy.

“Yayu, we have rescued you from Er Fu, and the Celestial Emperor was gracious enough to bestow an immortal medicine to you. That’s why we saved you.” The shortest shaman, Wu Fan, walked up to Yayu to explain the situation with a smile.

Yayu initially looked confused, but a vicious glint soon flashed through his eyes. Without any hesitation, he gobbled Wu Fan up whole, shocking everyone present.

The remaining Kaiming FIve Shamans quickly retreated. Their leader, Wu Peng, was enraged. “Yayu, what are you doing?”

Yayu clutched his head and groaned in pain. He was unable to speak at all.

In the meantime, Wu Peng and the others snapped out of their daze and rushed forward to rescue their comrade. They knew that Wu Fan was likely dead by now, but they had to at least give it a try.

However, the charge of the Kaiming Five Shamans alarmed Yayu. With a roar, he fled outside and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zu An and Saintess were dumbfounded. They quickly followed the Kaiming Five Shamans out.

It was a pity that Yayu was too fast, just like Er Fu. Much to the Kaiming Five Shamans' despair, they soon lost sight of their target.

“How did this happen?” Wu Peng murmured in disbelief.

The others were too shaken up to utter a word.

“Could the immortal medicine be fake?” the hot-tempered Wu Yang growled.

They had succeeded in reviving Yayu, but the latter had devolved from a gentle, compassionate deity into a vicious monster. They felt indignant and enraged to have lost their comrade like that.

Wu Peng shook his head. “That can’t be. It was a bestowment from the Celestial Emperor, and we inspected it. There’s no way to fake it.”

“Could the Celestial Emperor have tampered with the pill in a way that eludes our...” Wu Yang muttered.

Wu Peng interjected, “Watch your words!”

Wu Yang belatedly realized the outrageous words he had muttered.

Zu An took this opportunity to ask, “You've met the Celestial Emperor? May I ask what kind of deity he is?”

He had too little information about the Celestial Court. This was a good opportunity to gather some intelligence.

“The Celestial Emperor is the Celestial Emperor, the ruler of all deities.” Wu Peng didn’t look interested in this topic. “We have only seen the Celestial Emperor from afar, and we didn’t dare to raise our heads to look at him. We don’t know much about him either.”

“Didn’t you receive the immortal medicine from the Celestial Emperor?” Zu An was surprised. He'd thought that both sides would be close.

“How could we be qualified to meet the Celestial Emperor? We received the immortal medicine from Celestial Bao Jiang. He manages the Celestial Emperor’s immortal medicines.” Wu Peng replied with a shake of his head. He hadn’t recovered from his confusion, shock, and sorrow yet.

Looking at how crestfallen he was, Zu An explained, “Yayu didn’t intend to eat your comrade. His soul hasn’t returned yet. What you revived with the immortal medicine is an undead monster.”

“Soul...” Light slowly returned to Wu Peng’s eyes. “Yes, yes! That’s where we went wrong!”

But his excitement quickly deflated into sorrow, as he realized that everything they'd done was meaningless. Not only had they failed to save Yayu, they'd even lost a comrade in the process too.

The Saintess suddenly asked, “Do you know where we can find Bao Jiang?”

“Are you looking for immortal medicine? It’s useless. No one can obtain an immortal medicine without the Celestial Emperor’s permission.” Wu Peng shook his head. “However, the Brilliant Pinflower you asked about can be found on his Treasure Origin Mountain. We’ll uphold our promise even though we failed to save Yayu. We’re grateful for your help.”

Zu An was overjoyed to receive news about the Brilliant Pinflower.

“We should be bringing you there, but we’ll have to pursue Yayu. I’m afraid we can only point the location of Treasure Origin Mountain out for you...” Wu Peng took out a tortoiseshell and drew on it. “Here’s a map to Treasure Origin Mountain and a letter. Once he sees the letter, Bao Jiang will know you are my friend and will hand the Brilliant Pinflower to you.”

Zu An accepted the tortoiseshell. “Thank you, elder.”

Wu Peng waved his hand in disinterest. He wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries.

Zu An knew Wu Peng wouldn’t be in the mood to answer his questions, so he decided to head to Treasure Origin Mountain to obtain the Brilliant Pinflower first. The thought that he was going to obtain another material to save Ji Xiaoxi lifted his spirit.

“Big brother Zu, we should make haste,” the Saintess reminded him.

Zu An was taken aback. “Why?”

“Have you forgotten about the story you heard in the future? Bao Jiang, who manages the immortal medicine, was assassinated,” the Saintess replied grimly.

Zu An’s face darkened right away. He anxiously dragged the Saintess with him to Treasure Origin Mountain as fast as he could. It felt as if Wu Peng’s drawing was equipped with a navigation system; it persistently pointed in the direction they should head to reach their destination.

Zu An and the Saintess made no stops along the way. They continued to fly full speed ahead, occasionally popping a pill into their mouths to replenish their stamina and ki. Fortunately, Treasure Origin Mountain was only around 500,000 kilometers away. Had it been any further, they would have had to travel via teleportation formation.

After days of travel, Zu An and the Saintess arrived at Treasure Origin Mountain. It was extremely near Spirit Mountain, which he had visited the last time he was here; but he was in no mood to check if his old friends, the Spirit Mountain’s Ten Shamans, were around.

He made his way to a cave and shouted, “I have come to seek an audience with Deity Bao Jiang under the guidance of the Kaiming Six Shamans.”

“The Kaiming Six Shamans?” a seductive voice echoed from the cave.

Zu An and the Saintess were taken aback. Is Deity Bao Jiang a woman?

A woman slowly made her way out of the cave. Her sentimental peach blossom eyes, mesmerizing face, and curvaceous figure drew their eyes.

Zu An was delighted to see her. “Manman!”

He had been extremely worried about Pei Mianman in recent days, and his failure to find any clues about her had been causing his unease to reach its peak. Seeing her safe and sound made his heart burst with excitement, and he leaped forward to embrace her.
