Gongyi Tianheng, who was sitting on the bed in meditation, opened his eyes.
Gu Zuo extended a hand and waved it. After the pill cauldron and the Earthen Core Flame were both put away, he stood up: “Big brother, let’s go. I’m just in time to hand over the Moon Yin Pills to Young Lady Ling.”
The reddish-gold radiance in Tianheng’s eyes rapidly vanished. He had a faint smile on his face: “Ah Zuo has already succeeded in refining them?”
Gu Zuo was a little proud of himself: “Not a scrap of medicinal ingredients was wasted. All of them are top grade pills. A hundred twenty-six pills!”
Tianheng’s gaze softened: “Ah Zuo is getting more and more powerful.”
Gu Zuo nodded his head unabashedly: “In the future, I’ll be even more powerful!”
Outside, Tianyang was still knocking on the door: “Big brother? Brother Ah Zuo?”
Gu Zuo turned his head, and raised his voice to reply: “Tianyang, we’ll be out soon!”
Then, Tianyang said no more.
Gu Zuo swiftly tidied up his clothing, which was wrinkled from staying up all night, and walked over to the door: “Big brother, hurry up.”
Tianheng also quickly kept pace.
The two opened the door, and Tianyang was already waiting outside.
Ling Ziqi and Ling Ziwei stood a little farther away. At this moment, they both looked over.
Tianheng said: “Let’s go eat breakfast.”
A group of five walked downstairs.
This floor in the tavern was a lounge, and it was partitioned into an inner and outer area. The inside was private seating, and the outside was an ordinary lobby with numerous seats.
Naturally, Tianheng and the others took the private seats. Tianyang ordered the dishes a while ago, so when everyone sat down, they all took the cups of tea in front of them to moisten their throats.
Gu Zuo was aware that the Ling Clan siblings and Tianyang were very anxious. He was busy for the whole night, and wanted to ease their hearts. However, when he was preparing to take out the ice jade box, he suddenly stopped.
— He hadn’t thought about it carefully last night, but now, he discovered a problem.
He refined fourteen cauldrons of medicinal pills overnight, and all of them were top grade pills. Admittedly, this was within his capabilities, but with regards to the Ling Clan siblings, wasn’t this just a little too outrageously shocking?
Although Tianyang had feelings of admiration for Ling Ziwei and Ling Ziwei had a very good impression of Tianyang, she wasn’t married to him yet. The Ling Clan siblings weren’t truly considered one of their own people. Wasn’t it too impulsive to reveal his own ability to easily refine top grade pills so quickly?
Of course, due to the existence of the Spirit Devouring Pill Refining Method, Gu Zuo refining top grade pills wasn’t a behavior that would surprise others. Merely, a hundred-something pills in one night was certainly abnormal.
After hesitating for a short time, what Gu Zuo took out was instead the small ice jade bottle which he originally intended for his own collection. Contained inside were only six top grade Moon Yin Pills.
He handed over the small ice jade bottle: “Young Lady Ling, I’ve already refined some Moon Yin Pills last night. It’s just that there wasn’t enough time, so there’s only six pills. Take this ice jade bottle. From now on, take one pill every month. Once you break through to Xiantian, the amount of medicinal pills taken every month will change to two pills.”
The rims of Ling Ziwei’s eyes reddened. Ling Ziqi was also overjoyed.
They didn’t expect to have medicinal pills after a single night had passed!
This young pharmacist was seriously out of the ordinary!
Ling Ziwei suppressed the wetness in her eyes, and immediately took the offered ice jade bottle. Then, she poured out a pill from within.
Thereupon, everyone looked at it. This medicinal pill presented silver and blue colors. The silver color was like a crescent moon, and the blue color was like the curtain of a night sky. It was very beautiful. Apart from that, its shape was perfectly round, and the color and luster was full like the glinting of gemstones. With just one look, people could sense its precious rarity and its obviously exceptional medicinal effects.
— Although they didn’t know that this was a top grade Moon Yin Pill, its outward appearance was already enough to leave them shocked and grateful.
Ling Ziwei swallowed the medicinal pill, and only felt a jolt of seeping cold rush straight from her mouth to her belly. It immediately caused the warmth throughout her body to fade away.
At this time, she discovered that her body actually had a slightly undetectable sense of heat and dryness before. Only, she hadn’t been aware of it because she was young. But now that she had taken the Moon Yin Pill, her constitution had become slightly cold all of a sudden. Unexpectedly, this kind of feeling made her feel unprecedentedly comfortable… Perhaps, this was one of the peculiarities of the special constitution known as the Moon Siren Body?
Soon after, her pair of beautiful eyes looked at Gu Zuo. She said seriously: “Many thanks for coming to my aid, Pharmacist Gu. In the future, I’ll take the medicinal pills every month on time.”
Gu Zuo was a pharmacist. Just now, he had diagnosed a patient, and as it turned out, this patient would follow her doctor’s advice. His mood was very pleased: “Young Lady Ling doesn’t need to be so courteous. However, Young Master Ling and Young Lady Ling must remember that, although the Moon Yin Pill’s medicinal effects are pretty good, it can only suppress Young Lady Ling’s constitution for ten years at most.
He continued: “Moreover, whenever Young Lady Ling’s strength breaks through a large realm, the Moon Siren Body’s backlash will be magnified and the suppression time will also be shortened.”
The Ling Clan siblings seriously listened to Gu Zuo’s words. It was clear that Gu Zuo still had more things to say.
Sure enough, Gu Zuo spoke on: “A Xiantian martial artist’s lifespan is a hundred fifty years. Despite it becoming three hundred years after reaching the Immortal Realm, it’ll be difficult for the Moon Yin Pill to suppress an Immortal Realm’s Moon Siren Body. And as the Moon Siren Body is a special constitution, although one can practice other cultivation methods, the Moon Siren Body will basically be the same as an ordinary constitution under the effects of those cultivation methods. There’ll be no way to display its strong points. As a result, this Gu recommends that Young Lady Ling first temporarily discontinues the cultivation method she originally practices.
“Instead, focus on finding a cultivation method that suits the Moon Siren Body. Once found, Young Lady Ling can certainly advance by leaps and bounds. Perhaps at even faster speeds. If one can’t be found, Young Lady Ling’s Moon Siren Body will be practically incapable of breaking through to the Immortal Realm within ten years…
“Young Lady Ling, Young Master Ling. You two can think it over properly.”
After being ruined and orphaned, Ling Ziwei followed her elder brother and ran for her life. Afterwards, she took the initiative to act as bait. In fact, her willpower was already very firm. Previously, it was only because she never expected that she would encounter this kind of matter that hints of despair arose in her heart. But now, since things hadn’t truly reached desperate straits, she recovered her former looks and was determined to do her best in finding a cultivation method from this day forward. She would strive to develop her Moon Siren Body soon.
At this moment, she didn’t wait for Ling Ziqi to speak. She solemnly spoke in advance: “This young woman will bear in mind Pharmacist Gu’s suggestion. I’ll definitely pay more attention to this in the future.”
Ling Ziqi looked at the appearance of his younger sister’s firm resolve, and his facial expression wasn’t so taut anymore.
In short, there was still hope for everything.
This was good.
On the other side, Tianyang pursed his lips.
A suitable cultivation method for the Moon Siren Body… He would find one.
He certainly would.
Unwittingly, a group of people had already stayed in Queying City for quite a few days.
During this period of time, Gu Zuo was still refining medicinal pills in a medicine refining room — Aside from Gongyi Tianheng, the other few people believed that he was in the middle of working his hardest at refining Moon Yin Pills. But in reality, because he had refined sufficient quantities of Moon Yin Pills earlier, he actually spent the extra time researching other new pill prescriptions.
Additionally, there was Tianyang, Tianheng, Ling Ziqi, Ling Ziwei, and Dragon One, who was hiding in a secret place. These five people all needed to go out to scout around.
Tianheng had the clearest understanding of Gu Zuo’s strength. As a result, during this shortage of manpower, Tianheng didn’t arrange for anyone to stay behind in the tavern to protect the “weak” pharmacist. And when the Ling Clan siblings voiced their uncertainties, Tianheng only said that Gu Zuo possessed many strange medicinal pills for self-defense. The Ling Clan siblings recalled the numerous and efficacious Trick Pills they gripped in their hands at that time. They had a sudden realization, and said no more.
What this group of five needed to scout around for was mainly the topography of the Great Tomb’s location.
According to what Ling Ziqi remembered of his ancestor’s last words, the position of the Great Tomb of the Human King was along a somewhat remote street in Queying City — It wasn’t within the outskirts of Queying City. On the contrary, it was in Queying City itself. And although it wasn’t the city center, the area made it impossible to noiselessly open the Great Tomb!
Tianheng slightly raised his head, and looked at that rather tall building. He faintly frowned: “Young Master Ling, the Great Tomb you mentioned is located here?”
Ling Ziqi looked at this spectacle, and the corner of his mouth twitched: “…Yes.” His mood was a little subtle, “According to my ancestor’s words, there shouldn’t have been any streets built here originally. Rather, it was a tract of wilderness that was filled with vitality. Countless years have passed. The blue sea has turned into mulberry fields…becoming this current appearance.”
This building was already the store with the best business on the street. Its basic set up was similar to a modern supermarket. It looked like a general store, but actually, the interior had practically everything. More often than not, the owner of that building could provide especially precious or extremely rare items. And even if such things weren’t put forth, clues could be provided.
As one could well imagine, if the Great Tomb of the Human King was opened here, leaving aside how the Great Tomb would come into being and what would happen afterwards, but more and more people would arrive as soon as the Great Tomb opened. This building would obviously be destroyed — Nothing else needed to be said. The war caused by the struggle over the Great Tomb’s inheritance would cause rivers of blood to flow and the skeletons of the dead to form mountains. This would cause immense harm to the building. And if it was damaged to the extreme, wasn’t that just utter ruin?
Tianyang furrowed his brows: “Big brother, what’ll we do now? Are we going to open the Great Tomb of the Human King?”
Tianheng’s gaze was serene and deep: “This is natural.”
He wouldn’t miss any opportunity to become stronger.
