Chapter 579: Don't Take Medicine Randomly

~22 min read 4,259 words


The Captain's voice fell into Xu Qing's ears. Xu Qing didn't speak. He felt this plot was a bit familiar.

He remembered that when he was in the Reverse Moon Hall, he also encountered a powerhouse who claimed to be practicing a poison-immune body. After the transaction, he even reminded the other party many times not to swallow the pill directly.

Later, the other party never appeared again, and he was busy refining pills on Li Youfei, so he didn't pay attention.

"The same person?" Xu Qing muttered in his heart.

"This guy should be in a desperate situation, so the reward given is extremely generous."

The Captain took out a peach, took a bite, and continued.

"I'm thinking that with the Old Grandpa here, if the other party is trying to fish, we won't encounter any danger. If it's a sincere call for help, your poison-solving method, Little Ah Qing, should be a small matter to resolve."

"For us, this is like picking up money."

As the Captain spoke, he took out an apple and handed it to Xu Qing.

"How about it, Little Ah Qing, are we doing this? Although you can't enter the Reverse Moon Hall, it doesn't matter, Senior Brother is here!"

Xu Qing took the apple, thought about it, and agreed to the matter.

He intended to go and see if it was that person.

If it really was... he could indeed resolve the poison with a wave of his hand. After all, the curse information the other party gave back then was true, and he had a responsibility to help since the poison pill he ate caused problems.

Seeing Xu Qing agree, the Captain was secretly happy, glancing at the Crown Prince meditating in the distance.

With a Sovereign here, it would be too wasteful not to use him.

In fact, he had another purpose for this matter, which was to make a name for himself in the Reverse Moon Hall.

Since joining the Reverse Moon Hall, the Captain had discovered the structure there, knowing that in such a shop-style mountain, reputation was extremely important. And he was reluctant to sell his own things, so he planned to take a different path, opening up his own halo in helping others.

"And there is that Master Dan Jiu. There are too many people waiting outside his temple every day. I can't squeeze in. I have to think of a way."

The Captain's thoughts turned. He looked up at Xu Qing and suddenly spoke.

"Little Ah Qing, how is your research on curses going?"

"I have some thoughts."

Xu Qing's gaze fell on the Captain. The Captain's previous pride and showing off about joining the Reverse Moon Hall made Xu Qing feel that he shouldn't inform the Captain that he had also joined the Reverse Moon Hall, as it would make the Captain's happiness disappear instantly.

"It's okay, curses aren't so easily solved. But when you have time, you can actually study the Difficulty-Resolving Pill."

The Captain said, his eyes revealing longing.

"Little Ah Qing, you don't know, the Difficulty-Resolving Pill has too much significance for people in the Reverse Moon Hall."

"Didn't I tell you before that a big thing happened in the Reverse Moon Hall recently? A master appeared, that is my close friend."

Xu Qing nodded upon hearing this.

"This person is not simple. He is a genius of pill Dao and can mass-produce Difficulty-Resolving Pills. I was also fortunate enough to get to know him some time ago, talking at length. I admired his talent, he appreciated my erudition, and thus we became close friends."

Through that conversation, I knew the depth of this Master's talent.

The Captain revealed reminiscence, looking emotional.

Xu Qing blinked and didn't speak.

"Little Ah Qing, don't be discouraged. It doesn't matter. I told the Master, and he promised to give me a Difficulty-Resolving Pill. When the time comes, I'll bring it for you to study, and see if we can crack it and produce some for export."

The Captain's words attracted the attention of Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu. Li Youfei on the side also looked over curiously. None of them had joined the Reverse Moon Hall and didn't know what happened inside.

However, hearing the words "Master" and "mass-produce Difficulty-Resolving Pills," Li Youfei instinctively stole a glance at Xu Qing.

Xiang Ningyan couldn't help but ask a sentence on the side.

"Senior Brother Erniu, is that Master in the Reverse Moon Hall that powerful? Can he mass-produce Difficulty-Resolving Pills?"

After arriving at the Sacrifice Moon Domain, Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu had learned about the value of the Difficulty-Resolving Pill through the wanted notice of the Yin-Yang Flower Sect. Hearing the Captain's words now, they were all surprised.

The Captain raised his chin and smiled proudly.

"More than just powerful!"

"When that Master Dan Jiu appeared, his temple vibrated for two months, transmitting supreme Dao sounds. His neighbors were lucky; after hearing them, their own curses were suppressed."

"So some people speculate that this Master should have been actively invited by the Reverse Moon Hall itself."

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Ningyan gasped, Wu Jianwu's eyes widened, and Li Youfei was also moved.

Seeing everyone like this, the Captain became even more talkative.

"And what is most shocking is his Difficulty-Resolving Pill. Its price is only about one-tenth of the market, and the effect is even more astonishing. Buyers are all shocked."

"You are not people of the Reverse Moon Hall, so you haven't seen the residence of that Master, where hundreds of people wait bitterly every day!"

As long as the Master releases a pill, countless cultivators will scramble to find ways to obtain it in an instant.

"That scene is incredibly spectacular."

The Captain sighed. Wu Jianwu and Xiang Ningyan also had fluctuations in their hearts. Only Li Youfei was silent.

Xu Qing thought about it and put on an expression of disbelief.

"However, fame brings trouble. My friend is also very troubled now." The Captain coughed and sighed.

"His Difficulty-Resolving Pill price is too low, affecting others' business. Because his reputation in the Reverse Moon Hall was too high before, others, even if they were unhappy in their hearts, couldn't say much."

"But the Master hasn't released pills for a while, so those whose interests were damaged seized the opportunity. Now bad rumors have appeared."

"There are even some former pill Dao masters who jumped out. Some praise, some belittle, some say this is a replica, existing with huge hidden dangers, not as good as the real Difficulty-Resolving Pill."

There are even people saying that the Master hasn't hung pills out for so long because they aren't refined by himself, but obtained improperly, and now he doesn't have them.

"There are even rumors saying that this Master must have the identity of the Red Moon Temple, and this might be a kind of hidden, vicious pill of the Red Moon Temple."

"Opinions differ."

The Captain sighed. Wu Jianwu and Xiang Ningyan also had fluctuations in their hearts. Li Youfei was silent.

Xu Qing sighed lightly. He hadn't been to the Reverse Moon Hall for a while. He didn't know much about these things the Captain said, especially the slander from others later.

"The tree wants to be still, but the wind doesn't stop. The sayings of outsiders don't need to be cared about." Xu Qing spoke softly.

"That's right, I advised my friend the same way. It was also under my advice that his mentality is good and he hasn't been affected by the outside world." The Captain raised his head, full of emotion.

Xu Qing glanced at the Captain again and nodded.

The Captain was triumphant and was about to continue, but at this moment, the parrot on the Crown Prince's knee opened its eyes, scanned Xu Qing and the others proudly, and screamed.

"You group of people are discussing something there, aren't you working! So-and-so Niu, it's too hot, why don't you come and fan my Grandpa!"

The Captain glared, but noticing that the Crown Prince had also ended his cultivation at this moment, he sighed in his heart, a fawning look appeared on his face, and he hurriedly ran over.

The parrot was contemptuous, continuing to scold others. Even its daddy, it scolded the same way.

Xiang Ningyan, Wu Jianwu, and Li Youfei hurriedly became active.

This was the daily routine of everyone in the sun.

Xu Qing watched these, feeling emotional in his heart. He felt that the parrot wouldn't have any good fruit to eat in the future.

The facts were indeed so. A few days later, when the Crown Prince was resting, the Captain brought Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu to Xu Qing's side.

As soon as they came over, the Captain gritted his teeth. "Little Jianjian, your parrot needs to be taught a lesson. This parrot is too annoying!"

Xiang Ningyan nodded heavily upon hearing this, killing intent appearing in his eyes. He had a surge of disgust toward the arrogant parrot these days.

Li Youfei lowered his head and didn't speak. He knew it wasn't easy for him to speak up, but he agreed incredibly in his heart.

Seeing this, Wu Jianwu was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, his expression revealing pain, and recited a poem in a low voice.

"The wicked son is hated by heaven, the father's heart is sad, I didn't see who I love!" He was also annoyed by that wicked son.

This parrot had been too rampant these days, ordering him around, without any filial piety at all. Wu Jianwu felt that if this continued, perhaps one day this wicked son would make him call it daddy.

So everyone began to discuss. But no matter what, with the Crown Prince there, that parrot stayed close and was difficult to punish. However, in the Captain's plan, they decided to set the day of action after arriving at the Ku Sheng Mountain Range.

Just like this, time passed. When they were half a month away from the Ku Sheng Mountain Range, under the Captain's fawning and request, the Crown Prince agreed to adjust the route.

So the forward direction of this man-made sun changed slightly, arriving at the Bai Yun Mountain Land.

That was the hiding place of the Reverse Moon Hall cultivator who practiced the poison-immune body.

The Bai Yun Mountain Land was located in Tian Shui County, separated from Qing Sha County by two counties. This place had rich vegetation, and looking from the sky, it was full of vitality.

Such an environment made the sects and clans here numerous. And because the God Child of the Red Moon Temple was seriously injured and in closed-door cultivation, resistance arose everywhere, so the various forces within this Bai Yun Mountain Land also had movements.

Likewise, this was also one of the areas the Red Moon Temple wanted to suppress. When Xu Qing and the others arrived, Xu Qing felt the fluctuations of the Red Moon Temple from afar.

The Captain also sensed it.

Following their forward movement, in this concealment, soon a huge Red Moon Temple appeared in the sky in the distance.

Different from what Xu Qing saw before, the Red Moon Temple appearing here was built on a huge eyeball. That eyeball was filled with dark bloodshot eyes, emitting probing power, moving forward while sweeping the earth.

A large number of meteorites floated around it, with many cultivators on them, each emitting killing intent.

Wherever it passed, all directions were silent.

Noticing these, the sun hidden in the void slowed down. The Captain inside was somewhat anxious.

The temple is also here?

Did that down-and-out guy's tracks get exposed?

Saying this, he hurriedly took out the mirror and entered the Reverse Moon Hall. Soon, his figure returned, speaking rapidly to Xu Qing.

"I contacted that down-and-out guy in the Reverse Moon Hall. The rescue mission he helplessly released before should have been secretly reported to the Red Moon Temple by someone with ulterior motives."

So he doesn't dare to tell us his specific hiding location now.

Just as the Captain finished speaking, Xu Qing looked up and paid attention to the distant Red Moon Temple, finding that the temple suddenly changed direction and sped toward one direction.

"The Red Moon Temple seems to have found it in advance." Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, speaking in a low voice.

Hearing this, the Captain immediately controlled the sun to speed and follow in the sky, closely monitoring the whole way. Soon, they saw the Red Moon Temple staying above a valley.

That huge blood-colored eye emitted weird light, locking onto the valley below, and then a red light erupted from within the eye.

Countless bloodshot eyes shone, forming a rune mark, and fell into the valley.

The earth trembled, mountain rocks shattered, the valley collapsed instantly, stirring up countless dust and affecting the surroundings. At the same time, the ground where the valley was originally located now caved in, revealing a huge hole.

Inside it, there was actually an earth cave.

In the midst of it, amidst countless falling mountain rocks and mud, one could vaguely see an altar, on which a person was lying, seemingly wanting to struggle, but unable to move, with a large amount of poison mist spreading from his body.

Especially around the altar, one could see pools of black blood, some dried, some fresh. Obviously, this person had been here for a long time, and I don't know how many mouthfuls he had spat.

After seeing this, Xu Qing sighed in his heart.

He recognized his own poison...

The Captain blinked, feeling that the poison looked a bit familiar, so he scanned Xu Qing suspiciously, but now wasn't the time to ask. He hurriedly looked at the Sovereign Crown Prince, a fawning look appearing on his face.

Old Grandpa, the Crown Prince was teasing the parrot and pretended not to hear.

The Captain was helpless, giving Xu Qing a look.

Xu Qing turned his head, bowed respectfully to the Sovereign Crown Prince in front, and transmitted words in a low voice.

"Senior..."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince raised his eyelids and spoke indifferently.

"What do you call me."

Xu Qing blinked and responded immediately.

"Old Grandpa."

The Crown Prince smiled, glanced at the outside world, and the next instant... the Red Moon Temple floating above the valley suddenly shook all over.

A large number of meteorites in the surroundings exploded suddenly without any warning at this moment, the rumbling sound spread to all directions instantly, and the cultivators on those meteorites lost consciousness at this moment, falling one after another like dumplings into a pot.

Immediately after, the Red Moon Temple on the blood-colored eye wanted to struggle, but it calmed down after just one breath, and the blood light became dim.

The door opened accordingly, and a middle-aged God Messenger wearing a gold-red robe walked out from within.

This God Messenger had a firm face and was imposing without being angry. His whole body's aura fluctuated, looking quite extraordinary. Obviously, he was in a high position on weekdays, but at this moment, his eyes were hollow, his face expressionless, his whole body revealing numbness, walking out step by step like a puppet.

Behind him followed three God Servants wearing red God robes, two men and one woman, their expressions identical, their movements even more the same, each stepping neatly.

Further behind were dozens of God Slaves, also walking with the same pace, as if there was an invisible line on each of their bodies, being manipulated by someone.

Vaguely, there was a sense of some sacrificial dance.

After this group of people walked to mid-air, they stood there, motionless.

The weirdness of this scene made Wu Jianwu and Li Youfei's hearts tremble violently. Although they knew the horror of the Sovereign, they didn't have much concept of how strong he actually was.

Now witnessing it with their own eyes, their brains couldn't help but raise a cognition.

"Like a god..."

Amidst their trembling, Xiang Ningyan sighed, scrubbing the ground even harder.

The Captain was overjoyed, gave Xu Qing a rewarding look, then leaped out, heading straight for the big pit on the valley ground, shouting in his mouth. "37951, is that you!"

The Captain's voice echoed. The figure in the poison mist on the altar moved his fingers slightly, his eyelids opened weakly, wanting to struggle but unable to do so. His whole body only had his mouth that could barely be normal, transmitting a weak voice.

"Red Moon is not eternal..."

What time is it, and you're still doing secret codes? Are you 37951!

The Captain approached, looking at the figure in the mist.

"I am..." The figure in the mist responded weakly.

While they were talking, Xu Qing also walked out of the sun, glanced at the mess on the ground, looked into the earth cave along the big pit, and after walking over, he saw the black blood in the surroundings, as well as the figure in the mist.

"I told him long ago not to swallow it in one gulp..." Xu Qing thought secretly.

And at this moment, after confirming the other party's number, the Captain squatted in front of the mist, asking curiously.

"How did you get yourself like this? You practice the poison-immune body, this won't do."

The figure in the mist felt grief and indignation upon hearing this, wanting to speak, but the accumulated injuries erupted with the ups and downs of his mood, so he spat a mouthful of black blood directly and fainted.

"He won't die, right?" The Captain was shocked. Xu Qing also approached rapidly, raised his right hand and waved, and the poison mist here dissipated, revealing the true appearance of that down-and-out guy inside.

This was an old man, wearing a wrinkled dark blue robe, his forehead was high, his skeleton was large, looking like a very arrogant person. One would think he must be a decisive person who said one thing and meant another on weekdays.

And the wrinkles on his face, instead of highlighting his old age, made his majesty even stronger. He looked like a big shot at a glance.

Only at this moment, above all this, there was a thick sense of misery. The tightly furrowed brows contained the helplessness of life, and his whole body revealed a sense that life wasn't worth it.

Especially the black blood at the corner of his mouth, which was shocking.

And the tightly clenched fist, as if wanting to crush everything unwilling in his heart, but obviously... he couldn't do it.

Xu Qing looked at all this, sighed in his heart again, raised his right hand and waved, and immediately a pill flew out, landing in front of the old man. Then this pill exploded suddenly, turning into strands of white gas that drilled into the old man's seven orifices, beginning to resolve the poison.

Soon, the poison in the old man's body was resolved by more than half by Xu Qing. The Captain witnessed this from the side, his expression even more suspicious, looking at the old man and then at Xu Qing.

He felt that this poison was resolved too easily, as if... this was the poison Xu Qing had planted.

But he felt this was impossible. Little Ah Qing couldn't enter the Reverse Moon Hall, and the two obviously didn't know each other before, so the possibility of poisoning in reality wasn't high.

This made the Captain feel suspicious in his heart. And at this moment, the old man also woke up leisurely as the poison was resolved, looking at his surroundings blankly, but the next instant, sharpness appeared in his eyes, and he sat up abruptly.

After noticing that his poison had been resolved a lot, he was moved, looking at the Captain and Xu Qing.

"How did you resolve my poison?"

Xu Qing didn't speak, retreating a few steps expressionlessly. The Captain laughed, looking the old man up and down.

"37951, you tell me first, how did you get yourself like this."

The old man was silent upon hearing this. Having been in a high position for a long time, he rarely met Nascent Soul cultivators who dared to speak to him in a tone of peers.

And considering that the other party saved his life, could resolve his poison, and appeared from the encirclement of the Red Moon, this made many thoughts rise in his heart, and also suspicion.

Especially at this moment, he didn't know what the situation was outside.

Thinking of this, the old man suppressed the thoughts in his heart. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he stood up and tidied his clothes, and the sense of majesty rose accordingly, speaking in a low voice.

"Thank you, two little friends, but let's not talk about private matters. This is my own tribulation, and I don't want to tell others."

During the speech, he took out a storage bag and threw it to the Captain, then looked at Xu Qing.

"Meeting is fate. I know the two little friends are not simple. I know the rules, and I won't say much when I go out. This is a small token of my appreciation. Let's be friends."

The Captain laughed, raised his hand to take the storage bag, and scanned it with his divine sense, finding that there were quite a few good things inside, so his smile became bright and he spoke enthusiastically.

"We are already good friends. Remember to insert an incense stick in front of my temple when you turn back."

"Definitely!"

The old man said solemnly, bowing to Xu Qing and leaving.

Looking at the old man's back, the Captain weighed the storage bag in his hand, feeling satisfied.

As for the problem of exposure that might exist because the other party saw the scene of the Red Moon Temple cultivators losing consciousness, the Captain wasn't very worried.

After all, there was the Old Grandpa.

Thinking of this, the Captain blinked at Xu Qing and spoke in a low voice. "Little Ah Qing, do you think I should continue to take some missions? This is too convenient."

"If you don't want to spray blood all the way back to the Ku Sheng Mountain Range, I advise you not to continue." Xu Qing shook his head and replied calmly.

He had been in contact with the Sovereign Crown Prince until now and had some understanding of this Sovereign Old Grandpa. The feeling he gave him was that the other party actually had no sense of good or evil.

Unless it was encountering some important layout, otherwise, whether to take action or how to take action depended on the mood of that Crown Prince.

This time helping three times didn't mean he would do the same next time.

The Captain felt some regret in his heart, but thinking of being sprayed with blood by the other party after one glance on the Si Yin River, he felt it was better not to take risks.

Although he had a lot of blood.

"No way, I'm too weak in this life." The Captain sighed in his heart.

Then, a scene of the old man complaining appeared in his mind, so he glanced at Xu Qing, putting on a mocking look as if he had guessed everything.

"Little Ah Qing, that poison was planted by you, right?" After speaking, he closely watched Xu Qing's expression.

Xu Qing looked into the Captain's eyes and spoke seriously. "That's right, I did it. I sold it to him."

The Captain was shocked and pursued the question. "You also entered the Reverse Moon Hall."

He cared most about this point.

Xu Qing continued to look serious upon hearing this and nodded. "I entered long ago. To tell you the truth, I am that close friend of yours, Master Dan Jiu."

The Captain was originally suspicious, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"You almost fooled me. Little Ah Qing, you are quite something now. But the price is still too young. I'm familiar with this serious expression of yours. Every time you are like this, it's fake. You're not good at bragging yet. I'll teach you later."

Xu Qing blinked and didn't speak, walking forward.

The Captain hurriedly followed behind, unable to help but speak while walking: "Little Ah Qing, what you said just now is true?"

"It's true." Xu Qing said calmly.

"Then give me a Difficulty-Resolving Pill to prove that you are my close friend." The Captain looked at Xu Qing's eyes.

"None left." Xu Qing shook his head. He hadn't refined pills on Li Youfei recently, so he indeed had no Difficulty-Resolving Pills now.

Hearing this, the Captain laughed again. "What a coincidence, it's gone. I knew you were bragging, Little Ah Qing. Fine, fine, you are, you are." After speaking, he began to count the items in the storage bag, divided half to Xu Qing, and

the two walked out of the earth cave where the altar was located and returned to the sun.

Returning with them were the temple cultivators and the blood-colored giant eye outside. Those temple cultivators who had lost consciousness, including the God Messenger, were all moved here, lying messily in the surroundings.

Looking at these, Xiang Ningyan, Wu Jianwu, and Li Youfei were even more in awe of the Crown Prince, and instinctively had a sense of security.
