When the two heads of that night's Ye Shisan heard Cheng Xiaofan's words, they both felt it was a good idea and nodded in unison, saying, "Mr. Cheng, we'll listen to you!"
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan took out paper and a pen, wrote a character for "positive" on one piece and "negative" on another, tore them into two, and rolled them into small balls.
He said, "Two gentlemen, I have written two characters on the paper, one is 'positive' and the other is 'negative'. The one who catches 'positive' will keep their head, and the one who catches 'negative' will have theirs cut off."
"Okay, that's settled!" both heads said simultaneously.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Before we draw straws, you should each take two pills of the Tianyi Dan I just refined."
"After all, you were born from the same body. Regardless of whose head is cut off, the pain will affect the other!"
With that, he took out four Tianyi Dan pills and handed two to Ye Shisan's left hand and two to his right.
Both hands simultaneously took the Tianyi Dan pills from Cheng Xiaofan, quickly put them into the mouths of their respective heads, and swallowed them with tea.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan threw the two paper balls onto the table and said, "You may choose!"
Both heads closed their eyes and randomly picked up a paper ball.
The left head immediately unrolled the paper ball it held, glanced at it, and laughed heartily, "Haha, little brother, my luck is better than yours. I got the 'negative' character!"
"How could this be?"
When the right head unrolled its paper ball, it said with a dejected face, "No, brother, can you give me your paper ball, please?"
The left head immediately refused, "No. Without rules, nothing can be done properly. Drawing straws depends on individual luck. Whether it's good or bad, no regrets can be made afterward."
"This is my luck, you can't snatch it!"
"Brother is leaving now. You must hold your head high and live a good life, and absolutely not let Mr. Cheng's expectations down!"
Having said that, he looked at Cheng Xiaofan and said, "Mr. Cheng, please proceed!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Alright!"
*Whoosh!*
With a casual wave, a gleaming saber, accompanied by a whistling sound through the air, flew out from his spatial storage.
As soon as the saber appeared, one head rolled off Ye Shisan's shoulder and onto the ground.
Not a drop of blood was spilled, nor was any knife mark visible on the other's shoulder.
The Tianyi Dan was truly that powerful!
"Brother—"
The right head cried out in pain and began to weep loudly.
"You should go to sleep peacefully now!" As soon as Cheng Xiaofan finished speaking, he flipped his right palm and gently patted the right head.
*Thump!*
Ye Shisan fell to the ground.
Cheng Xiaofan bent down, lifted him from the ground, and carried him to the bed in the nearby bedroom.
*Whoosh!*
*Whoosh!*
*Whoosh!*
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan took out the Shennong Needles and inserted them all around the shoulder and neck area.
After covering the needles with a surge of dragon energy, the head on the right began to move towards the center at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The bones in the neck and shoulder were slowly shifting towards the center, becoming more aligned.
Even Ye Shisan's innate hunchback began to gradually straighten.
"Excellent, the effect is very good!" Cheng Xiaofan's face couldn't help but be filled with a smile.
He could have perfectly realigned Ye Shisan's face, but he worried that he might not recognize himself when he woke up.
As a result, Cheng Xiaofan abandoned the idea of cosmetic surgery for Ye Shisan.
After more than an hour, the realignment of Ye Shisan's head was completely finished.
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand and retracted all the Shennong Needles.
It would take at least another two hours before Ye Shisan would wake up.
He went to the main hall and saw the head that had fallen on the ground. Cheng Xiaofan immediately bent down and picked it up.
The expression on the head's face was frozen in a slight smile of joy. Facing instant death, there was no trace of fear.
Nor was there any sign of pain.
Cheng Xiaofan knew very well that in this world, no one is unafraid of death.
This only proved that his speed of drawing the blade was too fast; before the other person could even feel the fear they faced, the head had already separated from the body.
Looking at the underside of the head, there was not a drop of blood or a scar, as if it had been born that way.
The effect of the Tianyi Dan was truly miraculous!
Cheng Xiaofan then found a bag, placed the head inside, and sealed it.
How to deal with the head later would be up to Ye Shisan.
Looking at the messy table, Cheng Xiaofan instantly transformed into a diligent young helper and began to clear the table. After washing all the dishes and chopsticks clean, he finally got to rest.
Next, Cheng Xiaofan went to the terraced mountain.
As far as the eye could see, the Gastrodia elata plants had grown to about half a person's height, with lush, vibrant green leaves filling the air with a intoxicatingly fragrant aroma.
Cheng Xiaofan casually dug up one Gastrodia elata tuber, which appeared to be three centimeters in diameter and seven centimeters in length.
Although it was not yet fully mature and still far from the desired texture, its medicinal value was undoubtedly many times higher than any wild Gastrodia elata found on the market.
After all, these Gastrodia elata had been irrigated by spiritual rain.
He decided to bestow another spiritual rain upon the terraced mountain and the area around White Python Lake.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan arrived at the pavilion on the mountaintop.
Looking out from the height, the clear White Python Lake shimmered, reflecting the rolling mountains around it, like a colossal white python winding through the mountains.
The autumn wind blew, carrying a hint of sweetness amidst the refreshing coolness.
The azure sky was dotted with a few white clouds, slowly drifting over the lake.
"Hee-haw!"
"Hee-haw!"
"Hee-haw!"
The thirty-six bay red horses on the other side of the lake, having evidently known their master had arrived, occasionally neighed while grazing on the grass.
"General Bai, stop neighing. Quickly lead your subordinates to find a place to shelter from the rain. I'm going to start raining soon!" Cheng Xiaofan communicated telepathically with the bay red horse that had a tuft of white fur on its forehead.
General Bai rolled on the ground and instantly replied, "Master, it's alright. We love playing in the rain!"
"..." Fine, if you like playing in the rain, then so be it.
Cheng Xiaofan sat cross-legged in the center of the pavilion, interlacing his fingers and rapidly changing various hand seals, chanting incantations under his breath.
In the blink of an eye!
A wisp of dragon power rose from his fingertips like a wisp of blue smoke, ascending into the sky.
The originally clear sky suddenly transformed, and dark clouds piled up all over.
*Rumble!*
As lightning flashed within the dark clouds, a thunderous roar heralded the arrival of a gale that shook the heavens and earth. Instantly, a torrential downpour descended from the sky.
Amidst the fierce wind and rain, the thirty-six bay red horses immediately charged from the shore into the lake, dancing and galloping across the surface of the water, treading on the churning waves.
The Dragon Fish, which had already flown back from South Mountain Lake, now appeared in the sky above White Python Lake. In the dense downpour, it excitedly wagged its tail, flying back and forth.
"Master, can I play in White Python Lake?"
Not far away, from the grass on the mountain across the way, the white giant python raised its head and asked Cheng Xiaofan pitifully.
Even though there was a distance of over a thousand meters and the thick curtain of rain obscured the view, Cheng Xiaofan could still see its peculiar expression clearly.
"Get lost!"
Cheng Xiaofan shouted, "Don't scare my bay red horses!"
The white giant python, reprimanded by Cheng Xiaofan, dared not speak further. It immediately opened its mouth, swallowed a large mouthful of spiritual rain, retracted its head, and hid to the side.
In its heart, it secretly thought, Master, when I transform into a little white dragon one day, you won't look down on me like this anymore!
Actually, I am quite cute!
"..." Cheng Xiaofan could hear the white python's internal monologue with his spiritual sense.
You, wanting to transform into a little white dragon? Don't make me laugh until my head itches!
Is it that easy to transform into a dragon?
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
Unexpectedly, just as Cheng Xiaofan was thinking this, a series of heavenly lightning bolts suddenly descended from the sky, striking towards the direction where the white giant python was hiding.
