Chapter 226

Changshi slowly recounted his story. Three months ago, the villagers had saved Changshi on the mountain behind the village. To repay them, Changshi had cut off pieces of his own flesh. This flesh did not grant true immortality, but it would transform into small diamonds. Seeing this ability, the villagers grew greedy and sought to carve the flesh from his entire body. Trapped in a well by a Taoist priest, Changshi was threatened until he yielded his flesh. He refused, and in his fury, he brought misfortune upon the village’s livestock. For three months, every animal in the village had perished or vanished, and even the crops had withered.
