He got so angry at being targeted by the dog-spirited streamer that he secretly cursed the private equity firm behind its back, and was then chased and slashed with a sword.
"Still chasing? Still chasing?! Your speed is only 700+ and you're still chasing?!"
Occasionally, I'll annoy my junior female classmate.
"What a proud and charming formula! It's both arrogant and adorable!"
Occasionally, I'll tease the fox.
"Oh ho ho, a secret crush."
Suddenly I have a junior apprentice niece?
"Baby, you are a very cute Hakimi."
Can short-lived species be used for blacksmithing? Is the sex female?
"Indeed, we don't live long, and the knowledge we can learn is limited."
Wait, how come this Dragon Lord is also a woman?
No way, there isn't a single man among the Five Warriors of the Clouds?
Now he's been possessed by a demon.
Chapter 189 You and I will destroy this cave together.jpg
The production of Six Dust Smoke is complicated and expensive—and many of the materials used in its production are prohibited by the official authorities of the Immortal Ship. This means that even though the Medicine King's secret lineage has infiltrated and controlled most of the Pill Cauldron Department, obtaining those materials is still extremely difficult and requires an unknown amount of wealth.
It can be said that the six dusts in front of them are not only the secret weapon of the Medicine King to deal with the Cloud Rider Hounds, but also the 'family fortune' that they have painstakingly accumulated over the years. As a long-lived species and a citizen of the Immortal Ship, Zi Gui has watched them fill this warehouse bit by bit.
Looking back on the hardships of the process, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions.
Fortunately, it was all worth it—according to Lord Dan Shu, the time to welcome the Medicine King's miracle and its rebirth is just around the corner.
Whenever I think about it, I feel that the hardship, which was not short for a long-lived species, was worthwhile.
"Lord Zigui, the Ten Kings' Division has sent someone to the Qihuang Department." Without giving Qinglan much thought to the meaning of "This is wonderful," Zigui's expression changed upon hearing the anxious words of the guard who had rushed over, and he became somewhat irritated.
"The Ten Kings' Division? Why would those evil spirits come to the Imperial Medical Bureau for no reason!"
The name "Ten Kings Division" is undoubtedly a nightmare for the people of the Immortal Ship, and it is also quite intimidating to the Medicine King's Secret Sect. After all, the Ten Kings Division is specifically responsible for capturing the people of the Immortal Ship who have fallen into the demonic body, and the followers of the Medicine King's Secret Sect, who have taken special drugs in order to seek power, are all demonic bodies!
As a place for treating the sick, it is naturally also a region where demonic spirits frequently appear. The Ten Kings Division is undoubtedly a frequent visitor here, but that is limited to the medical market or other places in the Pill Cauldron Division. The Medicine King's Secret Teachings, which use the underground of the Qihuang Department as a 'secret place', has always maintained very meticulous control over the Qihuang Department. On the surface, even demonic spirits rarely appear in this place, just in case the evil stars of the Ten Kings Division discover the trick and the plan is exposed.
Zi Gui was a little troubled, but she wasn't too panicked. After all, this place was well-hidden, and even the Ten Kings Division couldn't discover the trickery in a short time. The most urgent thing was to get rid of those annoying guys as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he spoke to 'Blue Sparrow' with a gentle expression:
"Lord Qinglan, I'll go upstairs and meet those hounds from the Ten Kings' Division. You can observe from here. If you find anything amiss, please take charge and make arrangements accordingly."
Although we do not yet know the other party's abilities, since he has become Lord Dan Shu's confidant, his loyalty and ability should be beyond doubt.
"Rest assured, I will not fail you."
Hearing this, Zi Gui left with peace of mind.
After he left, Gui Naifen, who was standing nearby, asked:
"Sparrow, what should we do now?"
"Needless to say? Of course, we'll just destroy these guys' tools for harming people! Watch me burn this warehouse down!" The single-minded Little Pillow couldn't wait to set fire to the warehouse of Six Dusts, but before he could even make a move, the girl on tiptoe slapped him on the head with a chop to the head. He squatted down, clutching his swollen forehead, tears streaming down his face, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Ouch—ouch, ouch, ouch! Qingque, why did you hit me!"
"Do you want us all to inhale the Six Dust Smoke?" 'Qingque' looked speechless and glared at her with a hint of annoyance—who uses fire to destroy poison?
Although this is a secluded paradise and wouldn't spread to the outside world, if Little Pillow were to set fire to it, Liu Chenyan would be gone, and everyone present would fall into demonic possession and be taken away by the Ten Kings.
Upon hearing this, Little Pillow shrank back, fell silent, and deliberately distanced itself from Liu Chenyan's warehouse.
Although she was prepared to die on the battlefield the moment she joined the Cloud Cavalry, she was still so young and had not yet made any contributions. She did not want to fall into the demonic realm so early. Su Chang had also seen those people with demonic bodies covered in ginkgo leaves. She did not want to become a vegetable!
Besides, if the news of my falling into demonic possession were to spread, my mother might just grab her sword and rush over from Yaoqing to personally kill me—a classic case of sacrificing family for the greater good.
"So what should we do?"
Xiao Guizi was clearly quite afraid of the Demonic Yin Body—it's not that only the people of the Immortal Ship would fall into the Demonic Yin Body; if outsiders were to inhale this Six Dusts Smoke, they would fall into it just the same way. The power of the Longevity Plague Ancestor doesn't care whether you're from the Immortal Ship or not. The Starry Sky Train was able to force its way into the Tai Zhen Pill Chamber because they had the power of pioneering to protect them.
After untying the ropes binding her hands, Bai Lu muttered:
“It can be destroyed with the water of the ancient sea, but there is no water of the ancient sea in this cave.”
The ancient sea water drawn from the ancient star of Chiming can cleanse all things, but it seems that the secret teachings of those medicine kings also know this. When building this cave heaven, although the roots of the Jianmu tree, which is one of the materials of the Six Dusts Smoke, can be seen, not a trace of the ancient sea water can be seen at all. It is clear that it has been isolated from the outside.
She did have a way to use medicine to neutralize and destroy the Six Dusts Smoke, but this place clearly didn't have the necessary conditions.
'Blue Sparrow' seemed to be deep in thought, and casually asked:
"Is the water beneath the Alchemy Bureau all from the ancient sea?"
“Of course,” Bai Lu said with certainty. “I heard from the Dragon Master in my clan that the entire bottom of the Luofu Immortal Ship is lined with the water of the ancient sea, and the Pill Cauldron Division is simply built on top of it.”
"That is to say..."
"If we break through this cave, we can cause the waters of the ancient sea to flow back, right?"
To the girl's question, the somewhat 'innocent' Su Chang was the first to shake her head and wave her hand:
"That's impossible, okay? The Cave Heaven is the culmination of the Immortal Boat Alliance's space folding technology. Its stability is outrageous. Even if my mother were to personally take action and use all her strength, she might not be able to cut open even a corner of it."
"The only ones who could actually do this are probably the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow under the command of the Imperial Bow Master."
"Uh...why are you looking at me like that?"
The little pillow noticed 'Bluebird's' gaze and was a little confused.
No matter how much you admire me, I, Changchang, can't conjure up a Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow out of thin air for you.
...
The staff of the Qihuang Bureau were numerous. Zi Gui, who had returned to the surface, hurriedly demonstrated the entrance to the underground cave. At the same time, she couldn't help but mutter that the confidant sent by Lord Dan Shu was too lax in his vigilance. He hadn't even concealed the entrance properly when he came in. Although most of the people in the Dan Ding Division were brothers and sisters from the organization, they couldn't be so careless.
Zizhi's position in the Dan Ding Division is that of a medical assistant above ordinary alchemists. He is the fourth level in the Dan Ding Division's staff system and can be considered a minor leader. When the Dan Shu is not around, he is mainly responsible for presiding over the overall situation.
Soon, he saw the Ten Kings' Office servants located at the entrance of the Qihuang Office, next to the trees in the courtyard.
Seeing those imprisoned military officers, Zi Gui was somewhat afraid—after all, most of the prison guards of the Ten Kings' Division were mechanical puppets, unlike the flesh and blood bodies of ordinary cloud riders and hunting dogs. His gaze fell on the two leaders.
Xueyi—one of the judges of the Ten Kings' Office on the Immortal Boat Luofu, responsible for one of the four duties of [Detention]: detention, locking, punishment, and interrogation. Zizhi was naturally familiar with him, having seen him appear with other judges several times in the medical market.
The green-haired fox-girl beside her was somewhat unfamiliar to him; at least he had never seen her before. But judging from her clothes and appearance, she might also be a judge.
As she examined the situation, her gaze returned to Xueyi. Zizhi laughed heartily and spoke with a friendly expression:
"I was unaware that Lord Xueyi would be here in person. I have failed to greet you properly and have been extremely impolite."
As a disciple of the Medicine King, he was naturally bound to be enemies with the Ten Kings Division, which specialized in capturing demonic spirits. If he could, he would love to tear the demonic bow hound in front of him to pieces. However, in order not to hinder Lord Dan Shu's grand plan, he could only choose to endure and greet him with a forced smile.
"No need for further words. The Ten Kings Division has received a report that the Qihuang Bureau is harboring a person who has fallen into demonic possession. I have been ordered to search for him!" Xueyi, a puppet in human form and a judge in the Ten Kings Division, was stern and decisive in his actions, speaking with a stern and unyielding tone.
This information caused Zizhi's expression to change slightly, and she immediately sensed something was wrong—damn it, it must have been caused by the hunting dogs that had infiltrated the Shence Mansion... but the fact that the people who came first were from the Ten Kings Division left Zizhi completely baffled.
Logically speaking, even if what they say is true, the matter should have been handled by the Yunqi Army first, and then transferred to the Ten Kings Division after further investigation.
If that were the case, those who had colleagues in the Cloud Cavalry could have received the news first and made preparations accordingly.
But if it were the Ten Kings Division... most people on this immortal ship don't even know where the Ten Kings Division is located, including him, the assistant physician of the Pill Cauldron Division, who knows very little, let alone having spies planted within it.
Hilarious! Anyone who has passed on the secret teachings of the Medicine King can spot you as a demon in front of the Ten Kings Division—they can tell at a glance that you've fallen into demonic ways!
—As the department responsible for investigating demonic entities, the Ten Kings Division possesses the means to distinguish between demonic entities and ordinary immortals.
It was precisely because Zizhi knew this that she was sweating profusely.
The followers of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings are mostly those who have experienced the Medicine King's compassion before they delve into it—in layman's terms, many of them are demonic beings, or they are on the verge of falling into demonic possession due to drug use.
Caught completely off guard, they were caught off guard by the investigation by the Ten Kings...
Hey, don't let me find out which bastard reported you!
"May I ask who reported this?" A gentle voice rang in his ears, relieving Zizhi's pressure. He looked over and breathed a sigh of relief—the person who came was none other than his boss, Dan Shu, the leader of the Medicine King's secret teachings.
With the Dan Ding Division's cauldron suspended in vain, the position of Chief Physician was also lost. Under these circumstances, Dan Shu, one of the few Chief Physicians in the Dan Ding Division, became one of the most influential figures in the department.
"The Ten Kings' Division is handling a case and has no comment."
Xueyi's attitude remained indifferent—not to mention a mere alchemist, even if it were a cauldron master, her attitude wouldn't change much.
Aside from the high-ranking officials of the Ten Kings Bureau and the Immortal Ship General, no one else on this celestial ship could make it lower its stance.
"I was abrupt."
"Very well, if that's the case, then please do as you wish."
Having failed to get what he wanted, Dan Shu calmly raised his hand in a gesture of acknowledgment. Seeing this, Zi Zhi grew somewhat impatient: "Chief Dan..."
The former stepped aside and witnessed Xueyi leading her men into the Qihuang Department.
"Is this really okay? We have many brothers and sisters..." Zizhi whispered as she walked to Danshu's side. If the Ten Kings Division really investigates, their secret disciples of the Medicine King hidden in the Qihuang Department will most likely be caught.
"...Let fate decide."
Dan Shu shook his head and sighed.
She had no other choice but to pin her hopes on the Medicine King's Secret Rejuvenating Pill, which could help those members who had manifested the 'Demon Yin Body' to deceive everyone.
