Chapter 463: Swallowing 10 Bottles in One Gulp (7/10, Autumn Subscription)

Even so, neither of them was willing to go to jail, and both pleaded with Fang Yue to think of a way.

Sighing, Fang Yue went back to find You Sisi and explained the situation before bringing the two people and the dog out of the Qing Division.

Jing Yan and Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu were fine, eating and drinking well, not looking like anything was wrong.

But Xiao Xuedou was different.

Next time it goes berserk again, Fang Yue would show no mercy and cut it down on the spot.

"By the way, has Lord Han come back yet?"

"No." The two shook their heads.

Still not back, huh…

Fang Yue felt something strange in his heart, even a little uneasy.

Lord Han used to be explosively powerful.

But that was in the past. Now that only his head remained, if he ran into any danger, he wouldn't have the ability to handle it.

Returning to the inn, he saw from afar the crowd chattering around Captain Wu, along with the somewhat at-a-loss Captain Wu and Black Crow with his neck shrunk in.

"Captain Ye!"

Should be calling him Ye Baiyi now.

Fang Yue thought to himself, feeling he had a bit of an official-title addiction himself.

But in truth, it was just a momentary novelty.

Leaving the giant Xiao Xuedou outside the inn and sending the others away, Fang Yue took Captain Wu and Black Crow upstairs.

"You two will stay in this room."

"Ah… stay in one room?" Black Crow asked nervously, and after being glared at by Captain Wu, immediately didn't dare speak anymore.

Brother, don't forget you're a prisoner — you still expect a room of your own to use for escaping?

"I've asked around. Lord Han isn't at the inn. Where did he go?" Captain Wu asked at this point.

"He went to find Lin Ling, and he hasn't come back yet."

"…I'll wait until tomorrow. If tomorrow the Qing Division has the Qingsi Horse ready and Lord Han still hasn't returned, I won't wait any longer and will head straight to Yingzhong Cun."

"Alright."

Having Captain Wu help keep an eye on the inn's situation, Fang Yue returned to his room to cultivate.

With Captain Wu around, Fang Yue was quite at ease.

Even if Xiao Xuedou outside went berserk again, Captain Wu could handle it. Even if his strength was a bit lacking, he should be able to hold out until the Qing Division arrived.

Just as Fang Yue had hidden the fact that he killed Chen Lao of the Wu Yu Tribe in a single strike,

Captain Wu also hadn't revealed to Fang Yue the matter of the golden-thread power within his body after 'dying and coming back to life' twice.

So in Fang Yue's eyes, Captain Wu was still that same martial-arts fanatic, still that acquired Second-rate Realm martial artist.

Trusting Captain Wu, Fang Yue returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took out the three kinds of cultivation-boosting Qi Pills he had just obtained from his promotion to White Robe.

Then, let's start with the One Qi Pill!

He opened the wooden stopper of the One Qi Pill, and the medicinal fragrance rushed to his face.

Pouring one out and examining it carefully, Fang Yue found that the thing was pure as white paper, without any patterns — just a simple, pure-white, round pill, about the size of a fingernail.

With a doubtful heart, he swallowed it in one gulp.

Whoosh!!

The medicinal effect kicked in, and Fang Yue immediately felt the flow of internal force within his body suddenly intensify.

With just a slight circulation, his internal force extended like an arm, commanded at will, surging through his meridians and flowing throughout his entire body!

Awesome, Brother Qi Pill!

As long as it can make me stronger, even a pill can be called brother!

Looking at this pill with such powerful effects, Fang Yue couldn't help but sigh — the Government's strength is reliable after all!

A pill like this, you absolutely couldn't buy one of such pure quality outside, let alone so many at once!

At this moment, Fang Yue thought of An Shenyi, who had already died.

If An Shenyi were still alive, he would definitely want to have him analyze this pill, and ideally perfectly replicate it. That way, as long as he figured out how to procure the medicinal ingredients, he'd have an endless supply of One Qi Pills to take, and his cultivation progress would absolutely skyrocket.

Unfortunately, An Shenyi was already…

Sigh.

Fang Yue pulled out the handwritten manuscript An Shenyi had given him from the room, feeling a bit sentimental for a moment.

"I should still find time later to seriously study medicine."

This handwritten manuscript, Fang Yue had originally given to Zhanshu Huxi Hu to read. Later, after the destruction of Gu Yue Cun, Zhanshu Huxi Hu died, and the thing went around and ended up back in his own hands. He didn't know if it was some kind of fate.

Restraining his somewhat sorrowful emotions, Fang Yue poured the remaining 99 pills from the opened bottle of One Qi Pills into his mouth all at once.

Like eating beans, he chewed a few times and swallowed them all.

……

Black Crow was scared out of his wits.

He really was scared out of his wits!

Just now, he had finally gotten Captain Wu's permission and wanted to leave the room to relieve himself.

The result was he saw through the not-properly-shut door of the next room Fang Yue's feat of swallowing 99 One Qi Pills in one breath!

Holy crap, this guy doesn't want to live!!

Black Crow was so scared he even forgot about the issue of extravagance. He felt like at any second he was about to see the scene of Fang Yue with a head full of white hair, his lifespan exhausted, dying of old age on the bed.

However… nothing happened.

His panicked, anxious feelings were like a joke.

Fang Yue was actually abnormal — after eating so many pills to cultivate, not a single problem appeared.

Black Crow:???!!

Is this bastard even human???

Black Crow was shocked, completely dumbfounded — could such a thing really exist in this world?

He even wanted to slap himself. Back in Mo Cun, what kind of existence had he been showing off in front of? Did he even have the right to show off?

Downing 99 pills of the violently potent, highly toxic One Qi Pill in one breath — and not a single thing happening to him…

That's a month's worth for an ordinary person, damn it!

No wonder… no wonder this guy's strength improved so fast — turns out he's a pill vat, a pill vat that isn't afraid of pill poison!

Wait! Could all the Drifters be like this? That's why Drifters' strength improves so quickly.

He immediately turned, somewhat terrified, toward the two Drifters downstairs.

One was idly twisting his head, wandering about, every so often pressing close to a wine jar, then suddenly pulling far away, doing the kind of filming and recording only Jing Yan would understand.

The other was rubbing his thigh while eating fragrant, steaming meals. After learning Fang Yue had gold bars, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu had stopped being polite at meals! Every meal had to be fish and meat, and seven or eight meals a day at that.

Terrifying! Drifters are terrifying!

Black Crow tremblingly turned his head and continued observing Fang Yue in the room.

Soon he discovered an even more shocking fact, nearly scared out of his wits.

Madman! This guy's a madman!

Fang Yue in the room actually felt one bottle at a time wasn't satisfying enough, and began pouring down two, three, even five bottles of One Qi Pill at once, gulping them into his mouth in a single breath, then closing his eyes to cultivate.

Is this even human? This bastard must be a pill vat reincarnated!!

Watching someone who, by all rights, should have been burned to death by pill poison, still sitting cross-legged cultivating the Internal Energy Heart Method as if nothing were wrong.

Black Crow was dazed, numb.

He seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant, expressionlessly returning to Captain Wu's room, silently shrinking into a corner, not wanting to do anything.

In a daze, he suddenly lost some confidence that the Phoenix Organization could rescue him…
