I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 196 The True Tiger Returns to the Yuan Dynasty

Ye Kang quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you all. I did get carried away and chased after the Flood Dragon Lord, but he was too fast and I couldn't catch up."

Ye Kang shook his head, looking helpless.

He didn't want to reveal that he had killed the Flood Dragon King; sometimes, being too sharp isn't a good thing.

Concealing one's strengths and remaining humble is the safest strategy.

Upon hearing this, Yunlong and Yunkong showed no surprise whatsoever.

That's normal. It would be truly shocking if Ye Kang actually killed Jiao Jun.

However, the two still asked, "Then why haven't you come back yet?"

Ye Kang casually said, "Although I did not catch up with the Flood Dragon Lord, I found several strange fish at the bottom of the water. They had fish treasures in their bodies. I found that the fish treasures had a miraculous effect on the perception of the soul, so I searched for a few more days. I did not expect to make you all so worried. I am really sorry."

"I see. Fish treasures do indeed have miraculous effects, but they are extremely rare. Lord Ye is truly fortunate to have encountered several."

The group nodded in agreement; their explanation was indeed correct.

At this moment, Gu Lingwei walked over.

"Lord Ye, do you remember me?"

Ye Kang naturally remembered her, but at this moment he shook his head.

"Have you seen me before, young lady?"

Gu Lingwei rolled her eyes inwardly.

You, Wang, are still pretending with me.

He didn't expose him, but simply said, "It's nothing. I just feel that you look a lot like an old friend of mine. That person was extremely shameless, greedy for money and lustful, and his behavior was dissolute. Of course, I'm not talking about you, sir."

"Uh...it seems that the guy didn't make a very good impression on the girl."

"Of course, Lord Ye. I know you like body tempering. Our Overlord Spear Sect has a body tempering treasure land. If you are interested, you can come and find me. We will leave now."

After she finished speaking, Yunlong and Yunkong quickly echoed her.

"Indeed, indeed, Lord Ye, the Thunder Spring of the Overlord Spear Sect is a wonderful place, most suitable for body tempering."

Ye Kang's eyes lit up immediately. Body tempering was great! He nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Ling Wei."

“I never said my name was Gu Lingwei.”

Gu Lingwei chuckled, then turned and flew away with Gu Changlin.

Ye Kang stood there, stunned, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Yunlong and Yunkong didn't notice anything amiss and simply pulled Ye Kang into the Taoist temple, their concern evident throughout the journey.

"Young friend Ye, you really scared us this time."

"Yes, yes, you are our benefactor at Zhenhuguan. We haven't had a chance to repay you yet, you can't die."

Ye Kang felt a warmth in his heart. The two old guys were still very humane. They were indeed righteous martial artists.

He asked, "Why haven't I seen Daoist Yun Kuang?"

Yunlong waved his hand: "It's alright. Third Junior Brother was too exhausted and rested as soon as he got back. Now his second personality is in control."

"A second personality?"

Ye Kang was momentarily stunned. At this moment, the disheveled Taoist Master Yun Kuang, reeking of alcohol, crawled out of the Taoist temple with a silly grin on his face.

"Good wine, good wine!"

"You bastard! You dare drink alcohol inside the temple? Get out of here!"

Master Yunkong kicked Yun Kuang away.

Ye Kang couldn't help but find it amusing.

The familiar mad Taoist priest is back.

He continued, "I have been away for four days. I wonder how things have progressed since the great battle?"

The two quickly offered an explanation.

It turned out that the garrison commander of Xiyuan Town was afraid that something might happen to Ye Kang, so he waited for him for three days in the underwater current.

On the water, Chief Steward Lu Qi led a group of Azure Scale Guards to complete the cleanup work.

The Thousand Absolutes Sect suffered heavy casualties, and those who survived were imprisoned.

Xiao Yuankui ultimately failed to escape and was held back by Yunhe and Longyue, at the cost of all three of them being seriously injured.

Shen Suifeng didn't say much, just sighed, and personally took Xiao Yuankui back and handed him over to the Qinglin Guard for disposal.

The worst off was the guardian of Sky Eagle Town. After firing an arrow with a Grandmaster-level weapon, he fell directly into the water and fainted on the spot. In the chaos, no one noticed, and he almost drowned.

And now his condition is the worst. Even with the headquarters' secret medicine, he can only barely walk again. If he wants to return to his peak, he will probably need at least three or four months of recuperation.

One of the people who came to help at the last minute ended up being the one who was injured the most.

The group burst into laughter.

After a moment, Yunlong suppressed his smile and spoke solemnly.

"Young friend Ye, are you about to return to Poyang City to report on your duties?"

"No rush. I want to get the Jade Lotus Root first. I was also seriously injured in this battle and need this precious plant to heal me."

"I had the same idea, but the Jade Lotus Root is only effective for body tempering. For healing injuries, why don't you try our True Tiger Rejuvenation Pill?"

Yun Kong then took out a jade box from a cabinet nearby, inside which was a black pill.

He explained, “The Taoist sect is most skilled in alchemy. My True Tiger Rejuvenating Pill, though not as good as Chongxuzi’s Glazed Body-Replenishing Pill, is still a holy medicine for healing. If you don’t mind, young friend Ye, please accept it. You will see the effects in just one night, tomorrow morning.”

"So good."

Ye Kang did not refuse. It would be best to heal his injuries as soon as possible, and these two Taoist priests had no reason to harm him, so there was no need to refuse.

Ye Kang immediately found a room, took the elixir, and began meditating to recuperate.

The night passed.

The next morning, the first withered yellow leaf fell from the mountain.

Ye Kang opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"This Great Pill is truly excellent. My injuries have almost completely healed. With a few more days of warming with the True Qi of the Wood element, I should be fully recovered."

He walked out of the room, where Yunlong and Yunkong were already waiting at the door.

Yun Kong stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Young friend Ye, my pills aren't bad, are they?"

"Not only is it not bad, it's absolutely top-notch. I think it's not much different from the Glazed Body-Replenishing Pill."

"Young friend, you have good taste. I have two more in stock, so I'll give them to you as well."

"How does this work!"

Ye Kang was now going to decline. Once was to repay a debt of gratitude, twice was out of friendship, but three times would be too much.

Yun Kong shook his head and said, "Young friend, please accept it. This battle against the Flood Dragon Lord has given me the honor of getting to know you. I observe that you have gained quite a bit of knowledge in the Land of Inheritance, haven't you?"

The two Taoist priests' expressions immediately became subtle.

Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! After using the True Tiger Sword Qi, there will definitely be residual True Tiger Qi. Others will not be able to detect it, so how can it be hidden from these two?

Before he could speak, Yun Kong laughed again: "Young friend, there's no need to explain. I don't want to know about such good fortune, but you are indeed destined to be with Zhenhu Temple. These two pills are just a gift to you to establish a good connection."

Having said that, Ye Kang said no more and accepted the jade box with his hands clasped.

With the Great Elixir within him, he will have much more confidence in the future.

"Esteemed Taoist priests, we do not yet know how the jade lotus root is obtained. We hope you can enlighten us."

"Hahaha, why ask so many questions, young friend? Haven't you already seen the treasure for harvesting lotus roots?"

"what?"

While Ye Kang was still in a daze, the white snake Nuannuan playfully poked her head out from the waterfall at the entrance.

Ye Kang suddenly realized.

Good heavens, so the real Tiger Temple was found by Nuan Nuan finding Bao Zhi!

There are no treasures at all, it's clearly a treasure hunt by mythical beasts!
