Chapter 31: Corpse Insect Pill

Han Li's heart was in a mess, a bit fearful, a bit regretful, and what remained was confusion. Although he had delayed until now, he still couldn't think of a way to escape, and he was a bit panicked.

After all, he was still very young and couldn't compare with an old Jianghu hand like Doctor Mo. The means of pretending to be calm and keeping his expression unchanged were still seen through by Doctor Mo. The fine sweat on his forehead exposed this paper tiger.

Doctor Mo didn't let go of any changes in Han Li's face and was very satisfied with the huge pressure he caused. He had always believed that only when the heart and mind were lost could the other party reveal the truth.

"You think I'm deliberately slacking off and delaying the progress of practicing the formula?" Han Li was stunned by this inexplicable stick.

"Of course. Two years and you still can't practice to the fourth layer. Do you really think I can't see through your little tricks? The first three layers took three years to complete. Even if the fourth layer is too difficult to practice, without the help of medicine, it shouldn't be that there hasn't been a single bit of progress in two years." Doctor Mo said coldly, his two eyebrows standing upright, full of evil spirit, seemingly dissatisfied with Han Li for a long time and only now erupting.

"It seems that no matter how I explain, Doctor Mo won't believe it." Han Li secretly gave a bitter smile. He didn't expect that the progress he had just hidden was the culprit that caused the current situation. He really lifted a rock and smashed his own feet. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to lead to Doctor Mo's eruption early and reveal all these mysteries.

"Don't say anything more, and I don't want to know whether your past actions were true or false. Listen carefully, now I only ask you one sentence: Give you another year, can you practice the Everlasting Formula to the fourth layer?" Doctor Mo sneered and said slowly the most important sentence today, and then stared fixedly at Han Li without blinking his eyelids, waiting cautiously for his answer.

Han Li was very clear, knowing that the answer to this question not only related to the other party's life in a year, but was also the key to whether he could survive at this time.

"You should be very clear in your heart that I can't give you any other answer. Come, undo my acupuncture points first." Han Li relaxed his whole body, and the tone of his speech became light.

Doctor Mo heard what he said, his expression softened, and appreciation appeared in his eyes, but he didn't step forward to undo Han Li's acupuncture points, but cautiously took out a square, exquisitely carved sandalwood box from his bosom.

"Just relying on your words, I'm not at ease. In case you insist on hanging a sheep's head and selling dog meat, and refuse to practice hard, what's the difference from before? For the sake of your and my life, it's better to add a layer of insurance." He said sinisterly.

He carefully opened the box lid, and a white pill lay quietly in the center of the box.

Doctor Mo poked Han Li's body, undid the acupuncture points, and before he could move, he handed the box to him.

"You are a smart person, no need for me to talk nonsense again. You know what to do." Doctor Mo narrowed his eyes, somewhat maliciously.

Han Li didn't say a word, reached out and took the sandalwood box, took out the pill from the box with two fingers, and without looking at it, sent it into his mouth and swallowed it in front of the other party.

"Clap clap! Very good, those who know the times are heroes. As long as you help me recover to normal, there will be heavy rewards. I won't use empty words to shake you. There is a rift between you and me, so it's impossible to really take you as a disciple, but I can guarantee you a lifetime of glory and wealth." Doctor Mo clapped his hands a few times and made a heavy promise to Han Li very sincerely.

"Now you should tell me the function of the pill, so I don't commit a taboo unknowingly and lose my life." Han Li had no expression, without the slightest sign of being moved.

"Hehe, this pill is called 'Corpse Insect Pill.' It's not really a medicine, but an insect egg prepared by some secret method. After you take it, it will lurk in your body for a year. Don't worry, it's absolutely safe within this year and won't affect you doing other things. After a year, as long as you take the specially made antidote, it will automatically melt away, and there will be no hidden dangers left. But if you don't take the antidote after a year, hehe! The insect egg will absorb enough nutrients, hatch out of the shell, and eat all the large and small internal organs in the human body alive, making people scream for three days and three nights in pain before slowly dying." Doctor Mo said the power of this pill as if nothing had happened, secretly warning Han Li.

Hearing the viciousness of this pill, Han Li's body trembled slightly, his face became extremely ugly, and he almost couldn't control the anger in his heart. However, Doctor Mo's killer move was only about to be used.

"By the way, I heard that you have quite a few family members at home. I wonder if the silver sent home every month is enough? If it's not enough, just ask me for it. I am very concerned about your family members." Doctor Mo said a heartfelt sentence leisurely. At this time, he truly revealed his fangs and bit Han Li's fatal point fiercely.

Han Li's face had turned iron-blue, and he couldn't maintain the state of solidifying his heart and mind like water as described in the book at all.

He used his last willpower to bite his lips tightly, fearing that words of cursing or begging would slip out. He knew very well that no matter how he begged or threatened, the other party wouldn't let go of this biggest handle.

"You can rest assured that within a year, I will definitely practice to the fourth layer." Han Li gritted his teeth and said the above words word by word, no longer hiding his hatred for Doctor Mo.

Under the naked threat, he could only temporarily submit. He still couldn't reach the point of being heartless and ignoring the life and death of his parents.

Now, Han Li, who had been caught by the dead point, had to give up even the idea of wanting to perish with the other party. This first confrontation with Doctor Mo could be considered a complete failure for him.

Doctor Mo heard Han Li's submissive words and let out a long breath of stuffiness in his heart. His nervousness was no less than Han Li's, but he used strange and changeable expressions to cover it up completely.

"This Everlasting Formula is really evil. The brat is so young, yet so difficult to deal with." Doctor Mo cursed fiercely in his heart, not knowing whether it was envy or jealousy.

In fact, although this Everlasting Formula had the effect of washing the marrow and opening wisdom for the practitioner, the specific effect also depended on who it was placed on. Han Li was naturally much more mature and intelligent than ordinary peers, and after practicing this Everlasting Formula, he was even more far beyond ordinary teenagers in intelligence and scheming.
