Chapter 45

"Give it to me..."

The young man with the surname Han reached out to receive it, holding the bag in his hand, and closed his eyes slightly.

At that moment, Qin Sang suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation emanating from the young man's body. This aura was very familiar, containing both spiritual energy and divine consciousness!

Only to see the opening of the bag shimmer with light, and then a jade bottle appeared out of nowhere, landing in the young man's hand.

Seeing this, Qin Sang's eyes went wide.

It was indeed a storage bag!

But he fell into deep confusion again. The young man's actions didn't seem particularly special; why couldn't he open the seven-colored brocade bag?

There were a few transparent pills inside the jade bottle.

The young man with the surname Han opened his eyes and looked, saying with a relieved expression, "Water Dew Pills... Thank goodness! Thank goodness!"

As he spoke, he uncapped the jade bottle, poured out all the pills, and swallowed them.

The moment the jade bottle was opened, a strange fragrance rushed into Qin Sang's nostrils. At that instant, Qin Sang felt refreshed and invigorated, as if his entire body had become lighter.

After swallowing the Water Dew Pills, the young man's face suddenly turned rosy, and his breathing became much steadier and heavier. He, who had been unable to move, actually sat up.

Divine medicine of the immortals!

Qin Sang's eyes widened, staring at the jade bottle and the storage bag, feeling a claw scratching at his heart.

Seeing Qin Sang's expression, the young man with the surname Han chuckled, "Stop staring. This is a mustard seed bag, which needs to be opened with divine consciousness and items taken out and put in using the object manipulation technique. You are just a mortal; even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't be able to use it."

The young man with the surname Han exhaled a breath, stood up, and looked around, suddenly saying, "General Qin, I owe you my life, and I must repay you. Speak up, what do you want? Gold, silver, treasures, beautiful wives, or power and wealth? I can help you achieve all of it."

Hearing this, Qin Sang did not hesitate, kneeling down with a thud, "Qin Sang wants nothing. I only ask that Immortal Master Han take me as a disciple and teach me the immortal arts!"

"Ha ha..."

The young man with the surname Han chuckled, seemingly unsurprised. He looked at Qin Sang and asked a strange question, "Since General Qin is heading north, is your lord the Duke of Dongyang?"

He knows the Duke of Dongyang too?

Qin Sang was puzzled and answered affirmatively.

The young man with the surname Han nodded and said, "The path to immortality is not easy, and not everyone can cultivate... Since you are a general under the Duke of Dongyang, we will meet again soon. Think about it carefully. By the way..."

Without allowing Qin Sang to argue, the young man bent down and opened the corpse, stripping off a piece of clothing.

This piece of clothing shimmered with a faint icy blue light, looking like a long-sleeved autumn shirt woven from transparent threads, extremely light and soft, feeling very supple in the young man's hand.

"You lead troops into battle, and it's hard to avoid being injured by stray arrows. If anything happens, I would break my promise. This magical item is an inner armor woven from ice silkworm silk, as light as air, and even mortals can wear it for protection. Ordinary swords and spears cannot penetrate it. General Qin, think about it carefully. We will meet again at Sacred Mountain!"

With that, the young man with the surname Han extended his hand and emitted a green light, his face turning pale, and he coughed violently.

A green gourd grew in the wind, and the young man, who seemed extremely weak, wobbled onto the gourd, nodded to Qin Sang, and the gourd shot into the sky, quickly becoming a distant green light, like a meteor.

Qin Sang held the ice silkworm armor, feeling a coolness in his palm.

Watching the young man with the surname Han leave, Qin Sang's eyes flickered, sensing that his identity was closely related to the immortal masters of Sacred Mountain.

He had wanted to ask about the object manipulation technique and why not everyone could cultivate, but the young man left so abruptly that he could only wait for another time.

Qin Sang could also guess that the young man was in a hurry to leave, possibly to treat his injuries. The Water Dew Pills had only temporarily suppressed his injuries.

If he insisted on attacking, it wouldn't be difficult to kill him, but since things had come to this, there was no need for regret. Both the ice silkworm armor and the young man's promise were significant gains.

Finally, he had come into contact with a cultivator!

Amidst his joy, the only thing that troubled Qin Sang was that this person seemed to be the type who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes, willing to risk his life to eliminate a demonic cultivator.

After much thought, Qin Sang stood there for a while, then came to his senses and scanned his surroundings.

The incident had happened suddenly, and Qin Sang hadn't had time to drive away the soldiers. They had all seen what had happened and were now looking at Qin Sang with various expressions.

Qin Sang coldly snorted, his gaze cold, and the soldiers all lowered their heads.

"Everyone, return to camp and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will continue to clear the way. Capturing Crow Pass will be a great achievement, and I will ensure your promotions and wealth. Keep today's events to yourselves. Anyone who leaks information will have their head cut off!"

"Understood!"

...

Returning to the camp, Qin Sang noticed that all the soldiers were looking at him strangely. He sighed inwardly, knowing that it was unrealistic to keep the secret with so many people.

Even his close companions, like Water Monkey and Wu Chuanzong, seemed hesitant to speak.

Qin Sang pondered for a while in his tent and then had Water Monkey call Zhang Wenkui, Wu Chuanzong, and the others to the tent.

"You have been by my side for many years, and it's time for you to stand on your own," Qin Sang said straightforwardly. Seeing their hesitant expressions, he smiled and softened his tone, "My goal has always been to seek immortality, and I don't care about worldly wealth and glory. Zhou knows this. If there's no opportunity, so be it. Now, by chance, I have encountered a path to immortality, and I am determined not to let it go."

Water Monkey Zhou Ning nodded. When they first met Qin Sang, Bai Jianglan had already seen through Qin Sang's intentions, and he hadn't changed.

Wu Chuanzong excitedly asked, "Master, did the immortal master agree to take you?"

Qin Sang nodded, "Yes, I think so. If I leave, Brother Bai is unwilling to take on a high position, and you will be left without anyone to look after you. You will have to rely on yourselves. For now, I will stay and try to pave the way for you. After capturing Crow Pass, I will highlight your names in the victory report. With your previous military achievements, it should help you secure good positions. After I leave, whether you become nobles or remain ordinary will depend on your own abilities."

Hearing this, the generals were moved, "Thank you, General, for your care!"

After sending the generals away, Qin Sang closed the tent and took out the ice silkworm armor.

The young man with the surname Han had said the ice silkworm armor was a magical item, so Qin Sang followed the method he used to control the Purple Soul Bell.

After a moment, the ice silkworm armor automatically flew out of Qin Sang's palm, growing and shrinking in the air before fitting onto Qin Sang's body and disappearing.
