Chapter 1408 Medicinal Pills to Expel Evil
Hearing Bai Lipang’s casual remark, everyone was stunned.
“Heavenly Lord?!!!” Lin Qiye was the first to react, suddenly turning his head to look in the direction of that figure.
Above the rolling waves, the Taoist with his hair tied up in a bun flickered and disappeared, reappearing instantly before Lin Qiye and the others!
At such close distance, Lin Qiye clearly saw that familiar face—it was indeed the Primordial Heavenly Lord whom he had met several times before!
The Primordial Heavenly Lord stood on the sea surface, looking at Lin Qiye and the others dog-paddling in the water. This Great Xia Heavenly Lord who comprehended all secrets of past and present showed rare confusion and bewilderment in his eyes…
“What… are you all doing?”
Lin Qiye: …
In the awkward atmosphere, Lin Qiye remained silent for a long time before finally squeezing out:
“We are training.”
“Yes, yes, we’re training!” everyone hurriedly agreed.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord’s expression was somewhat strange. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand, his wide sleeve directly enveloping Lin Qiye and the others.
“I have matters to discuss with you. Let’s put the training aside for now.”
With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Qiye and the others felt a spinning sensation before their bodies left the water and instantly landed on the soft beach.
“Huh? How did you all…”
Li Qiangqiang, who had been waiting on the beach, was startled to see Lin Qiye and the others appear out of nowhere. Before he could finish speaking, a Taoist appeared beside them.
Li Qiangqiang’s words came to an abrupt halt.
He looked at the Taoist, quickly composing his expression and respectfully said:
“Heroic Spirit Li Qiangqiang greets the Primordial Heavenly Lord.”
“No need for formalities.” The Primordial Heavenly Lord nodded slightly, then asked curiously, recalling how Lin Qiye and the others looked earlier, “By the way, what were they doing just now? You said it was training?”
“Uh… this, well…”
Li Qiangqiang coughed awkwardly a couple of times, momentarily at a loss for words.
“It was the ‘mental barrier’ training Senior Li prepared for us,” Bai Lipang said quietly. “Besides the ‘group dog-paddle swimming slowness competition,’ there’s also grass skirt dancing, handstand racing, playing poker…”
As Bai Lipang spoke with a hint of resentment, the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s expression grew strange. He glanced at the silent Li Qiangqiang but didn’t pursue the matter.
“Lin Qiye.” The Primordial Heavenly Lord turned to look at Lin Qiye and took out a medicine box from his robe.
“This is the medicinal pill that Yang Jian and Sun Wukong obtained from the Virtue Heavenly Lord for you. I am here to deliver it to you.”
Lin Qiye stood frozen in place.
“But… my ears are almost healed already.” Lin Qiye accepted the medicine box.
In Asgard, Lin Qiye’s ears had been injured by the monster summoned by the [Holy Grail]. After returning to Great Xia, Yang Jian and Sun Wukong had gone back to the Celestial Court to seek medicine for Lin Qiye, but after so much time, Lin Qiye’s hearing had almost completely recovered.
The Primordial Heavenly Lord shook his head, “Regardless of what creature injured you, its origins are far from ordinary, and your injury is more than just a ruptured eardrum…
Not just you—after Yang Jian and Sun Wukong returned to the Celestial Court, their wounds seemed healed, but deep in their souls, extremely strange ailments remained. Had I not happened to see through it, those two would likely still be unaware.”
“You mean everyone attacked by that sound was unknowingly infected?” Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed tightly as the image of that spiral mouth emerging from the clouds reappeared in his mind.
In fact, Lin Qiye had also found it strange. At the time, the sound had indeed shattered his eardrums, causing temporary hearing loss, but with his body that had consumed the Peach of Immortality and been cleansed by fate, such a minor injury should have healed quickly.
But after they returned to Great Xia and took spiritual medicine, the injury still hadn’t completely healed. If it were just a normal eardrum injury, this wouldn’t have been possible.
“Correct.” The Primordial Heavenly Lord nodded. “The ailments in Yang Jian and Sun Wukong have now been completely eliminated. If the ailment in your body is left untreated, it won’t cause problems in the short term, but perhaps someday in the future, it could become a fatal threat.
This medicinal pill was specially crafted by the Virtue Heavenly Lord for you. Besides completely driving out the ailment in your body, it will also benefit your physical condition. You should take it now.”
Seeing this, Lin Qiye nodded and opened the medicine box.
Misty spiritual energy flowed from the cracks of the box, and a milky-white pill sat quietly in the center, releasing a rich medicinal fragrance that entered Lin Qiye’s nostrils.
Lin Qiye picked up the pill, curiosity in his eyes.
This was his first encounter with a genuine Celestial Court medicinal pill. He wondered if it was like those immortal pills described in books—one bite and you could ascend to immortality, living as long as heaven and earth?
This thought had barely formed in his mind before he dismissed it. Mythological legends were just legends after all. If the Celestial Court could casually produce pills of such caliber, Great Xia would need less than a month to utterly dominate the other divine nations.
Celestial Court pills might indeed have miraculous properties, but they certainly weren’t as exaggerated as in legends. After all, the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord had spent thousands of years and untold effort to create just two pills: [Eternal Life] and [Immortality].
Lin Qiye swallowed the pill and immediately felt a warm current flowing throughout his body. He quickly sat cross-legged to sense the flow of this warmth.
To the others watching, streams of faint light emerged from Lin Qiye’s body, rapidly spreading across his entire form… Nearby, An Qingyu pushed up his glasses, full of curiosity at this sight.
Bang—!
Suddenly, a crisp sound erupted from within Lin Qiye’s body!
Lin Qiye’s eyes snapped open as he bent forward, retching violently. A moment later, a large pool of black, viscous liquid surged from his throat.
Seeing this, Cao Yuan and the others instinctively stepped back, their brows tightly furrowed.
“What the hell is that thing?”
The liquid splashed onto the beach but didn’t spread like water. Instead, it rapidly gathered together, forming a writhing shadow that rushed toward the nearby sea!
The Primordial Heavenly Lord seemed to have anticipated this. He flicked his finger in the air, and a transparent flame enveloped the liquid, burning it fiercely!
Strange, shrill screams emanated from the flames as the liquid twisted frantically, struggling in pain like a living creature. But as the fire grew stronger, it finally turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared…
As the liquid left his body, Lin Qiye’s face visibly flushed red, then returned to a healthy paleness as the medicine’s power balanced his system.
His heavy breathing stabilized, and in the remaining medicinal power, his mental strength rapidly increased!
After some time, Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes, his gaze exceptionally bright!
