100: Chapter 100 Treating Top-Grade Pills Like Candy? You'll Get a Taste of Pill Poison!

North of the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty, above the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

A luxurious Spirit Boat, three hundred zhang long, crafted entirely from top-grade Golden-Thread Nanmu and Deep-Sea Sunken Silver, was soaring through the sea of clouds at an incredible speed.

This was the highest-grade vehicle Lin Que had “casually” taken from the Zhengdao Alliance treasury—the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle Boat.

On the deck, the sun shone brightly.

“Twelve million... thirteen million...”

“Wow! Young Master Lin, there are even three boxes of top-grade water-attribute Spirit Stones here!”

Su Qingyu sat ungracefully on the cashmere carpet of the deck, surrounded by glittering small mountains of treasure.

Her eyes gleamed as she counted the family fortune confiscated from the Zhengdao Alliance and the Ye family. Her money-grubbing demeanor was a stark contrast to the aloof temperament of her Innate Dao Body.

“Such ambition.”

Lin Que lay lazily on a grand tutor's chair, holding a cup of tea brewed with Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Spring water, enjoying the gentle breeze at high altitude, looking utterly content.

Three days had passed since the battle in the Imperial City.

In these three days, the old emperor of Great Qian was beaten into a life-or-death seclusion, and the Zhengdao Alliance announced an indefinite closure of their mountain gates. The entire Central Continent Cultivation World was in an uproar, and the three words “Demon Venerable Lin” became a terrifying legend used to stop children from crying at night.

But this legendary Demon Venerable was currently worried about how to “spend money.”

“Don't bother counting these scraps (Low Grade Magic Treasures), they take up too much space. We'll find a merchant guild to exchange them all for Spirit Medicine later.”

Lin Que waved his hand, opening several large boxes in front of him.

Inside were all the Five-Rank and Six-Rank top-grade Medicinal Pills treasured by the Zhengdao Alliance!

Nine Revolutions Purple Gold Pill, Dragon Power Bodhi Pellet, Creation Replenishing Heaven Pill... any one of them could cause Golden Core Stage Cultivators to fight to the death in the outside world.

“Young Master Lin, why do you need so many Medicinal Pills? Although Medicinal Pills are good, consuming too many at once will accumulate pill poison, and the Meridians won't be able to withstand such a massive impact of medicinal power.”

Su Qingyu watched Lin Que pour the precious Medicinal Pills into a large basin like pouring beans, and couldn't help but remind him.

“That's for ordinary people.”

Lin Que grinned, picking up the jade basin that contained well over a thousand top-grade Medicinal Pills.

He had just broken through to the Middle Stage Nascent Soul, and the four-colored Divine Demon Nascent Soul in his Dantian was clamoring for nourishment. Moreover, his Demon God Body also required a massive amount of energy to completely solidify his Soul Transformation-level Physical Body foundation.

A normal Cultivator would need to cultivate in seclusion for at least thirty years to refine this basin of Medicinal Pills, and still constantly guard against Meridian rupture and pill poison attacking the heart.

But Lin Que didn't need to.

“System, activate ‘Pain-Free Ingestion’ mode.”

“Detected a massive aggregation of high-grade Medicinal Pills!”

“Analysis: Contains 1 million points of top-grade spiritual energy, with accompanying fatal pill poison and Meridian rupture risk.”

“Logic restructuring activated—Nutrient Retention and Residue Discharge!”

“Operation 1: Import pure spiritual energy and Law fragments into the host's Nascent Soul and Physical Body without loss!”

“Operation 2: Remotely transfer ‘pill poison’ and ‘violent medicinal power backlash’!”

“Scanning for nearby hostile targets...”

“Locked on: Heavenly Demon Cult Eighth Defense Line guards at the border of the Extreme North Ice Field (twelve Golden Core Stage Demon Cultivators, two Early Stage Nascent Soul Elders)!”

“Gulp.”

Lin Que picked up the basin and, like drinking porridge, directly swallowed all thousand-plus top-grade Medicinal Pills in one go!

“Young Master Lin!!”

Su Qingyu was so frightened that she covered her eyes, fearing Lin Que would explode on the spot the next second.

However.

Boom!!

A muffled thunderous sound erupted from within Lin Que's body.

Seven-colored auspicious light burst forth from all his pores, and the four-colored Divine Demon Nascent Soul in his Dantian spun wildly, devouring the vast and pure spiritual energy.

Pain? Non-existent.

Bloated? The Demon God Body's appetite was astonishingly large.

After only ten breaths, Lin Que's aura surged again, increasing by another notch. Although he hadn't broken through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, his Middle Stage Nascent Soul Realm was now as solid as a rock, and his spiritual energy reserves were more than ten times thicker than Cultivators of the same rank!

“Burp—”

Lin Que let out a comfortable burp, exhaling a turbid breath infused with the scent of medicine:

“Tastes good, just a bit dry.”

Su Qingyu peeked through her fingers and found that not only did Lin Que not explode, but he was radiant, causing her small mouth to drop open in surprise:

“This... this is possible too?”

“Just basic operation.”

Lin Que smiled and rubbed her head.

He looked up at the gradually snow-covered northern horizon, a mischievous smile playing on his lips:

“However, when one eats too much, someone always has to suffer the consequences for me.”

...

At the same time.

Extreme North Ice Field, Soul-Severing Pass.

This was the only way to enter the Heavenly Demon Cult's main altar.

At this moment, amidst the swirling snow, two Early Stage Nascent Soul Elders of the Heavenly Demon Cult, leading twelve Golden Core Stage deacons, had set up layers of Formations here.

“The Cult Master has ordered that Demon Head Lin Que might attack at any time! We must defend Soul-Severing Pass to the death!”

A blind Elder said with a gloomy expression, “The Cult Master is currently healing in the main altar. As long as we can hold him off for three days, when the Cult Master recovers and emerges, it will be his death day!”

“Heh heh, Old Blind Ghost, you're too nervous.”

Another fat Elder sneered disdainfully, “This place is protected by the Absolute Zero Profound Ice Formation. Even a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would be frozen into an ice sculpture. How could Lin Que possibly sprout wings and fly...”

Before he could finish his sentence.

“Ugh—!!!”

The fat Elder, who had been fine moments ago, suddenly turned ashen, unexpectedly bent over, and violently spewed out a large mouthful of foul-smelling black blood!

The blood landed on the ice, making a “sizzling” corrosive sound, even poisoning a large pit into the thousand-year Profound Ice!

“Fatty! What's wrong with you?!”

The blind Elder was greatly alarmed.

“My... my stomach... it hurts so much!! My Dantian... it's so bloated!!”

The fat Elder clutched his stomach in agony, rolling frantically in the snow.

A strange, multicolored glow appeared on his skin's surface. This was a sign of pill poison erupting, unique to top-grade Medicinal Pills! And it was a super toxin, fermented from over a thousand top-grade Medicinal Pills!

It wasn't just him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The twelve Golden Core Stage deacons nearby were even less able to bear it.

They felt an extremely violent force suddenly surge into their bodies (the medicinal power backlash transferred by Lin Que), and their Meridians instantly burst. Without even a scream, the twelve individuals directly exploded into clouds of blood mist, one after another, like popped balloons!

“En... enemy attack!! Poison!!!”

Although the blind Elder was blind, his Divine Sense was still active.

He discovered with horror that an invisible power of Karma had crossed space, directly forcing this terrifying pill poison into their bodies.

“Pfft!”

The blind Elder couldn't hold on either, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, his Nascent Soul extremely weak.

“What kind of demonic art is this?! We haven't even seen anyone!!”

Just as these two Nascent Soul Elders were being tormented to death by Lin Que's “second-hand pill poison,” and their Formation collapsed without attack.

In the distant snowstorm.

A massive Spirit Boat broke through the air, hovering above Soul-Severing Pass.

Lin Que stood at the bow, his dark robes fluttering in the snowstorm.

He looked down at the two men rolling and vomiting blood in the snow, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

“It seems both Elders have rather poor digestion.”

Lin Que's voice, accompanied by the wind and snow, clearly reached their ears:

“Since you're so ill, don't stand guard. I'll send you on your way.”

Lin Que did not draw the black saber from his back.

After consolidating his Realm, his control over power had reached a new level.

He slowly extended his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, forming a sword-finger.

Buzz!

At his fingertip, Bone Spirit Cold Fire (pale white) and Three Thousand Blazing Flames (purple-gold) instantly intertwined!

Extreme cold and extreme heat, these two forces that should have repelled each other, perfectly fused under the mediation of Lin Que's Divine Demon Nascent Soul, forming a terrifying Qi blade only three inches long, yet silently annihilating the surrounding Void Realm.

Seven Absolute Blades variant — Ice-Fire Void Shattering Finger!

“Go.”

Lin Que flicked his fingertip lightly.

Swoosh—!

The three-inch ice-fire Qi blade instantly vanished from its original spot.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no grand display of power.

It was like a sharp edge cutting through a painting, ignoring spatial distance, instantly piercing through the main Formation eye of the Absolute Zero Profound Ice Formation below, which was rumored to be able to freeze Nascent Souls!

Immediately after, the Qi blade's remaining power undiminished, it casually passed through the center of the two Nascent Soul Elders' brows, as they watched in horror and despair.

Thud.

The corpses of the two Nascent Soul Elders fell in the snow.

Their Sea of Consciousness had been completely incinerated by the purple fire, while their Physical Bodies were instantly frozen into ice sculptures by the cold fire, not even their Nascent Souls managed to escape.

One finger broke the Formation, instantly killing two Nascent Souls.

Not a single bit of spiritual energy was wasted; everything seemed so natural and fluid.

This was the terrifying suppressive power of a Middle Stage Nascent Soul combined with the Demon God Body.

“Young Master Lin, your Cultivation Technique seems... even more terrifying.”

Su Qingyu couldn't help but gulp as she looked at the ice sculptures below.

The former Lin Que was overtly violent, but the current Lin Que's violence exuded a composure that controlled everything.

“If power is only used to smash people, that's called a brute.”

Lin Que retracted his hand, his gaze piercing through the swirling snow, looking towards the deepest part of the ice plain.

There, a black demonic tower pierced the clouds, exuding a terrifying and heart-palpitating demonic might.

The Heavenly Demon Cult's main altar—Demon Suppressing Pagoda!

“Let's go.”

Lin Que waved his folding fan, and the Spirit Boat started again, piercing through the wind and snow like a sharp sword.

“The cold wind in this extreme north is quite chilling.”

A chilling killing intent flashed in Lin Que's eyes.

“We'll go give that Cult Master adult...”

“...a little fire.”
