92: Chapter 92 Pill King: "My grandfather has the potential to become a Martial God"

[You and Mu Xue arrived at the Liehuo Sect together.]

[The Liehuo Sect Master warmly welcomed you both. Having long heard from the Grand Elder that you possessed the cultivation of a Martial God, he showed you exceptional respect.]

[You did not see the Liehuo Sect's Grand Elder. According to the Sect Leader, the Grand Elder had been alone his entire life and had no children. He treated Chen Tianxiao as his own son. Upon learning that Chen Tianxiao liked men, he had a huge argument with him, became so angry that he fell ill, and was still bedridden.]

[Chen Tianxiao was also not within the Liehuo Sect; after arguing with the Grand Elder, he had left the Liehuo Sect and his whereabouts were unknown.]

["Alas, the ways of the world are unpredictable, that child!" The Liehuo Sect Master sighed when speaking of this matter, then looked at Mu Xue: "If only Tianxiao could meet a girl as good as Young Miss Mu Xue, perhaps he would change his ways. Senior Lin is truly enviable."]

["Oh right, enough of that. Senior Lin, Young Miss Mu Xue, please come this way. I will take you to see Senior Master Wu Suanzi now." The Liehuo Sect Master gestured for you to follow.]

[You followed the Liehuo Sect Master to the side of a thatched cottage.]

[Squatting on the threshold of the wooden door was an old man, unkempt and disheveled, his tattered robes stained with mud and grass clippings. He held a thin stick he had picked up from somewhere, intently poking at something on the ground.]

[It was none other than Master Wu Suanzi.]

["Senior Master Wu Suanzi." The Liehuo Sect Master bowed and stepped forward, his tone so respectful it was almost cautious.]

[The old man didn't even raise his head, just kept poking at the ground with the stick, muttering something unintelligibly.]

[You walked closer and finally saw that there was a small piece of cooked meat on the ground in front of him, with swarms of ants crawling all over it, carrying away crumbs.]

[Master Wu Suanzi was using the thin stick to flick the ants off the meat one by one, watching them crawl back on, flicking them off again, and watching them crawl back again, tireless in his amusement.]

["Little black dots, little black dots, so many little black dots." Master Wu Suanzi stretched out his other hand, letting a few ants crawl onto his finger. Then he lowered his head and licked one.]

[The Liehuo Sect Master's face changed drastically, and he shouted involuntarily: "Senior, you can't eat that!"]

[Master Wu Suanzi raised his head, a flash of displeasure crossing his cloudy old eyes. "Little black dots are edible." Before his voice died away, a pressure at the level of a Martial God was suddenly released.]

[Cold sweat instantly broke out on the Liehuo Sect Master's forehead, his legs shaking so hard he could barely stand, and he hurriedly changed his tune: "Yes, yes! These are edible, they are edible!"]

["Then you eat!" Master Wu Suanzi said, extending his hand covered in ants.]

[The Liehuo Sect Master looked at the hand covered in ants, his Adam's apple bobbing several times: "Senior, this..." As he spoke, he sensed the displeasure on Master Wu Suanzi's face, so he quickly took the ants with both hands, closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick the ants lightly.]

["You are an idiot, an idiot! Little black dots cannot be eaten! You are an idiot!" Master Wu Suanzi laughed as he looked at the Liehuo Sect Master. He laughed so hard he rocked back and forth, fell onto his back on the ground, and rolled in the mud: "You are an idiot, an idiot!"]

[The Liehuo Sect Master sighed helplessly and turned to look at you, his eyes filled with a hint of pleading: "Senior Lin, you have seen it for yourself. Senior Master Wu Suanzi is like this now. If you can cure him, my Liehuo Sect will be eternally grateful."]

[You did not speak, but simply raised your hand and flicked your fingertip lightly.]

[A wisp of extremely fine Spiritual Qi shot out silently, fixing Master Wu Suanzi in place.]

[The crazy old man was in the middle of rolling when he suddenly found he couldn't move, his limbs frozen in mid-air like a turtle that had been flipped over.]

["Can't move, can't move!" Master Wu Suanzi shouted at the top of his lungs while lying on the ground, "You are a bad person, a bad person!"]

[You squatted down in front of Master Wu Suanzi and reached out to press gently on his Dantian. Your Divine Sense surged into his body along with your palm.]

["So it really is a problem with the Golden Core!" You said softly, feeling Master Wu Suanzi's Golden Core.]

[You guessed that Master Wu Suanzi must have forcibly broken through to the God Realm during a battle, and the Martial God Golden Core had been attacked while it was forming, leaving behind hidden injuries that caused this situation.]

[Your Spiritual Qi flowed into Master Wu Suanzi's Golden Core through your palm. Repairing the hidden injuries of this Golden Core was much harder than destroying it, and it required extremely high precision in the control of Spiritual Qi.]

["Thank goodness for Prisoner 5's talent points!" You thought to yourself as you used your Spiritual Qi to precisely wrap around the Golden Core.]

["Done." You let out a long breath: "That was still a bit difficult!"]

["Senior, is it done?" The Liehuo Sect Master asked, looking at you.]

["Yes, but it will take some time for him to wake up." You said. Actually, you could have used your Spiritual Qi to forcibly wake Master Wu Suanzi up, but his physical lifespan was already nearing the limit for a Martial God cultivator. If you forcibly woke him, it might cost him many years of his life, so after thinking about it, you decided not to forcibly wake him with Spiritual Qi.]

["Then I thank Senior Lin on behalf of the Liehuo Sect once again!" The Liehuo Sect Master bowed deeply to you and said this.]

[You nodded and walked towards Mu Xue, who then stuffed a lollipop into your mouth.]

["Have you never had one?" You asked, holding the lollipop in your mouth.]

["What, are you happy that I occasionally give you a new one? Mr. Lin Heng!" Mu Xue rolled her eyes at you and said.]

["Of course I'm happy that Young Miss Mu Xue gave it to me!" You said.]

[Looking at Master Wu Suanzi, Mu Xue asked again: "About how long until Senior Master Wu Suanzi wakes up?"]

["About three or four months." You said, sucking on the lollipop.]

[Mu Xue frowned: "Do we have that much time?"]

["No!" You replied: "That's why we have to go to Danwang Valley, Young Miss Mu Xue!" As you said this, you stuffed the lollipop from your mouth into Mu Xue's mouth and picked her up in a princess carry.]

[Inside Danwang Valley, the Pill King was currently sitting on a rattan chair, brewing a pot of fresh tea.]

[On the table lay a new method for purifying Medicinal Pills submitted by a Disciple. The Pill King was so engrossed in reading it that he forgot to drink the tea in his hand, which was suspended in mid-air. This method had good ideas, but the requirements for controlling Spiritual Qi were ridiculously high. He was calculating to call that Disciple over tomorrow to try it out in person.]

[Then, a black shadow descended from the sky and crashed three steps in front of his tea table.]

[The moment he saw the figure, the Pill King's hand shook, and tea splashed all over the table.]

[Then he sprang up from the rattan chair as if struck by lightning, his legs went weak, and his knees hit the stone tile floor with a crisp sound.]

["Sen..." He stammered half a word, then suddenly remembered your requirement in the pavilion that day, and immediately changed his tune, his voice loud and clear: "Grandfather!"]

[Mu Xue jumped lightly from your arms and tidied her clothes, which you had messed up. Upon hearing this "Grandfather," her fingers froze in mid-air, then she turned around, her eyes slowly squinting into two arcs.]

["Your grandson, Mr. Lin Heng?" Mu Xue stuffed the candy you had put in her mouth back into your mouth, and at the same time pinched your mouth shut.]

["There are many reasons for this!" You said.]

[Just as Mu Xue wanted to say something, the Pill King had already raised his head at an extremely fast speed and shouted at her: "Grandmother!"]
