Chapter 1054 Battle with Xiaoman
Immortal Elixir, is it two pills?
Si Xiaonan recalled Loki’s description of the Kunlun treasure, and realized he had never actually specified what this pill was, nor mentioned how many there were, only saying that the Immortal Elixir needed to be brought back to Asgard.
But if the Immortal Elixir among the Kunlun treasures consisted of both the Immortality Pill and the Eternity Pill, and the Immortality Pill was still in the container… then where did the Eternity Pill go?
Si Xiaonan looked up at Lin Qiye.
“Don’t look at me, it was already empty when I got it,” Lin Qiye shook his head and said.
Si Xiaonan was stunned, and a bold idea flashed through her mind!
The Eternity Pill container was empty, so perhaps…
A gleam flashed in Si Xiaonan’s eyes. Holding both pill containers, she instantly flew out of the Pill Hall, with Lin Qiye transforming into a shadow of night closely following behind.
Two streaks of light rapidly weaved through the thousands of pill containers floating in the Pill Hall.
“Xiaonan, leave the Immortality Pill behind,” Lin Qiye said in a low voice.
“Sorry.”
Si Xiaonan showed no intention of stopping, her speed increasing as she turned and passed through half the Pill Hall, with the wide entrance appearing before her eyes.
Lin Qiye frowned, “Then don’t blame me for being too harsh.”
Lin Qiye took a step forward, brilliant magical light blooming beneath his feet. The strange liquid formed by his black pupils instantly attached to his physical body, beginning to control it.
At the same time, a soul shadow flew out from Lin Qiye’s body, and the surrounding spiritual energy immediately surged toward him!
The soul form of Lin Qiye made hand seals, deploying mysterious Taoist techniques. A crack faintly appeared at the center of his soul’s forehead.
As this crack appeared, the churning spiritual energy around rapidly poured into Lin Qiye’s soul through the crack. His form began to expand rapidly like an inflating balloon!
A pale blue eye slowly opened at the center of the soul form’s forehead.
Si Xiaonan, who was already approaching the hall’s entrance, sensed the terrifying aura from behind and her expression immediately became grave.
She looked back to see a blue giant shadow that had already broken through the top of the Pill Hall and was still rapidly growing taller. Dust and debris fell from the sky, obscuring her vision.
“What is that thing…” she muttered.
Boom—!
A sharp blue trident suddenly stabbed into the ground in front of Si Xiaonan.
Si Xiaonan’s movement abruptly halted. Before her, a divine shadow that blotted out the sky, wearing silver robes and armor, gripped this trident with both hands, standing like a mountain guarding the entrance of the Pill Hall.
Fierce winds surged from beneath this mountain-like divine shadow. On its blurry face, a vertical eye had opened, its gaze carrying endless majesty, coldly staring down at Si Xiaonan.
This was another divine transformation technique Yang Jian had taught Lin Qiye… the [Qingyuan Divine Form].
The trident that pierced the ground in front of Si Xiaonan cut through the floor of the Pill Hall, and amid flying stone fragments, swiftly slashed toward Si Xiaonan.
Si Xiaonan’s expression tightened. She extended her right hand, joining her index and middle fingers as black light intertwined at her fingertips, rapidly condensing into a strange seal.
She raised her fingers and pointed toward the sky.
Celestial Phenomenon “Trickery.”
Crack—!!
A black lightning bolt like a writhing giant snake struck down from the clear sky, precisely hitting the blade of the trident, shattering part of the weapon formed from spiritual energy.
She grabbed both pill containers and quickly slipped through the gap in the blade, darting toward the outside of the Pill Hall.
But before her feet could step outside the hall entrance, a gaze fell upon her. The invisible force of that gaze bound her body, as if a giant hand firmly gripped her, lifting her directly from the ground to hover in midair.
Si Xiaonan suddenly raised her head and saw that at the center of the divine shadow’s forehead, a vertical eye was emitting a faint blue light.
As that vertical eye focused its gaze, Si Xiaonan felt an invisible hand slam heavily into her chest, sending her crashing back into the Pill Hall like a meteorite, knocking dozens of pill containers from the air as dust billowed out.
Si Xiaonan groaned, staggering to her feet from the deep crater. Just as a wisp of black light appeared in her palm, a deep red figure mysteriously appeared behind her.
“It seems that weaving ‘trickery’ to alter reality also requires time…”
Lin Qiye, controlled by the black pupil, spoke calmly, “As long as I don’t give you time, you can’t erase your injuries, nor can you change history.”
The moment she heard these words, Si Xiaonan’s eyes narrowed slightly. A short dagger fell from her sleeve into her palm, and she twisted her body to slash at Lin Qiye!
The crimson eye at Lin Qiye’s forehead seemed to perceive Si Xiaonan’s movement trajectory in advance. He raised his hand to block her wrist that held the dagger, while his other hand formed a fist and heavily struck Si Xiaonan’s chest.
Lin Qiye, whose body had been tempered by the power of faith and who had eaten a peach of immortality, possessed physical strength far beyond what Si Xiaonan could match. This single punch sent her flying hundreds of meters, crashing through countless pill containers with a series of clangs before smashing into a wall, creating spider web-like cracks.
Si Xiaonan lay in the billowing dust, gasping for breath, her face extremely pale.
Though severely injured, her expression showed no panic. Her gaze quickly scanned the surroundings, as if searching for something.
Finally, her gaze fell upon a dark green pill container by her feet, and a gleam flashed almost imperceptibly in her eyes.
Finally found it…
She grasped the empty white container with her left hand and staggered to her feet. Using the swirling dust as cover, she seemingly accidentally knocked the white container against the dark green one, as a flash of black light passed between her palms.
Gulp.
With a subtle sound, a pill mysteriously transferred from the dark green container into the empty white one.
At the bottom of that dark green container, another pill’s name was inscribed in cinnabar:
—Soul-Consuming Poison Pill.
Si Xiaonan held the black and white containers, slowly standing upright, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth with her wrist.
Outside the Pill Hall, the towering [Qingyuan Divine Form] gradually dissipated. A soul shadow returned to its physical body, and Lin Qiye opened his eyes, holding [Zhanbai], calmly walking toward the severely injured Si Xiaonan.
“Xiaonan, put down the Immortality Pill.”
“Lin Qiye, you can’t stop me,” Si Xiaonan looked into his eyes, a deep meaning flashing in her gaze. “The green lycoris will eventually bloom, and even winter cannot bury it.”
Green lycoris?
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye froze in place.
In his mind, he once again saw the scene of Squad 136 laughing and chatting during their team-building event before the Cangnan disaster.
…
“Hey, what flower is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
“This is manjusaka, also known as lycoris.”
“Isn’t lycoris red? But this one is green?”
“Who says lycoris can’t be green? Lycoris comes in many colors. For example, red lycoris symbolizes ‘longing,’ blue is…”
“What about green?”
“Green…” Wu Xiangnan thought for a moment.
“Its meaning should be ‘ever-lasting hope.'”
