Nowadays, the one who truly manages the local Divine Alliance is that Gifted Child Secretary General. But the other party is very unfriendly to me, watching me with caution and not even eating, it seems difficult to approach Your Majesty.
So Tie Dan continued to play the role,
"Human Kingdom Lord, leading by example, truly a hero of the ages. But why does the Divine Sect issue a Dharma Decree to seal the mountain?
Moreover, Kunlun is so vast, how can it be sealed? Could it be that some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures have emerged, not allowing us Loose Cultivators to compete?"
The Chief Mansion Historian isn’t a fool; this kind of thing can’t be guessed randomly, so he chuckled,
"After all, it’s an edict from above. We carry out the orders, and as for the rest, we’re not aware..."
"Oh, it’s not a major matter! I heard that remnants of the Demon Sect have appeared in the mountains again! This time, His Majesty is about to lead troops in a crusade to wipe out this group from the Demon Path!"
Your Majesty rushed over in a heartbeat, wanting to sit beside Yuetan to have a good conversation with her.
"No, your majesty~ Don’t approach her~~"
"Oh you’re so annoying! Get lost!"
But those eyes were watching too, so his majesty was dragged back by the foot...
Tie Dan was all surprised,
"Oh my! So it’s the Demon Sect! Terrifying! We sisters are as weak as chickens; we can’t stay here long. If we fall into this calamity, isn’t that putting our lives in danger? I wonder if your majesty could facilitate our crossing now? Can we postpone the matter of Dual Cultivation to another day?"
Upon hearing this, Your Majesty turned around, patting his chest muscles with a BANGBANG,
"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid! I, the king, will protect you! Why delay? Right today..."
"Your Majesty~ It’s dangerous~ Don’t get close~~"
"Hey, get lost!"
The Chief Mansion Historian watched the king’s assistant’s nervous state, guessing that these two ladies would hardly stay for the night. Seeing much ado about nothing could only result in more trouble, he decided to send them off, so he suggested,
"Although there are rumors of some Demon Sect disturbances, they seem far away, and there’s no sign of disaster in the vicinity of Dui State. Rather than letting unexpected things arise, how about we send these two Reverend Nuns out of the mountain first?"
Wild game that had just been caught was now gone, so His Majesty protested,
"What’s going on! Just boarded for fun and now sent off! At least stay for the night!"
The king’s assistant and Tie Dan exchanged a glance,
"Please immediately escort these two out of the mountain, Chief Mansion Historian..."
"Cough cough cough!" "Bleh!" "Cough cough!" "Puff!"
Suddenly someone threw up. Actually, almost everyone did.
Yes, the nearby high servants dining suddenly sprayed fresh blood; the amount was so large that it was like a jet! Like a floodgate was opened! Blood spurted out wildly from their throats! Like an exploding faucet, it just couldn’t be stopped! The blood fountain almost filled the food bowls in an instant!
His Majesty and the king’s assistant, who were still being playful, were stunned, though they were fine. However, the Chief Mansion Historian quickly checked his face to confirm he was okay too, then glanced at the neighboring table, quickly reacted and slapped the table, pointing,
"Assassin! Guards! Take them down!"
Yes, that finger naturally pointed at the two strangers who had just boarded the ship.
Tie Dan was somewhat baffled, after all, seeing the scene of people vomiting heavily, the food must be poisoned? But he hadn’t touched a chopstick, so he wasn’t sure, and turned to look,
"Are you alright?"
Xun Lingrui was still gnawing on a fatty hoof, currently puzzled, thinking perhaps whether to express confusion.
However, she didn’t seem to be bleeding much? Is it really poisoned?
Tie Dan wasn’t concerned about the encroaching eunuchs and guards, simply took Xun Lingrui’s hand, checked her pulse, and sniffed the hoof.
"Keep eating."
Still eating huh!
But after a previous stern education, Xun Lingrui was rather obedient now, like a guinea pig, she kept gnawing.
And since Tie Dan fully grasped her physical condition and Qi movement rate a while back, comparing both, he noticed the issue.
"It’s indeed poisoned."
Xun Lingrui, "..."
Tie Dan laughed,
"No worries, medicine is 30% toxic; too much Gastric Health and Digestion Powder was added."
Xun Lingrui immediately understood, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued eating. Ah, smart people are indeed worry-free.
"Gastric Health and Digestion Powder?"
But the Chief Mansion Historian was just an academic trash, clearly not so smart. Upon seeing the shocking blood in the hall, he was momentarily horrified, breaking defense urgently,
"Are you kidding me! Gastric Health and Digestion Powder can lead to such a ghastly outcome!?"
Tie Dan, however, nodded seriously, picked up a spoon, and took a spoonful from each dish to sample and smell.
"One meal a day is fine, but eight meals a day and something’s bound to happen soon.
Gastric Health and Digestion Powder is such a common formula that if someone in the kitchen uses it, it won’t draw attention. In fact, Body Refining Practitioners consume so much daily that they would naturally add a little to aid digestion. And to swallow the food, the daily sauces are heavily flavored. Once someone discreetly changes the formula, it’s even harder to detect...
Hmm, usually Gastric Health and Digestion Powder is made by grinding Stomach Health Pills, Dissolving Stagnation Pill, Digestive Pill, Digestion Pill, and pepper with spices into powder, which is sprinkled in the meat to aid consumption. But this formula has been specially adjusted, some ingredients have been changed.
For example, the Digestion Pill usually uses the Three Charred Herbs, that is, fried Hawthorn, fried Barley, and Fried Massa Fermentata to break down the coarse muscle fibers in beast meat. However, here Fried Massa Fermentata has been replaced with rhubarb, which although non-toxic, is a medicine for unblocking the bowels and has been soaked in liquor, making its medicinal properties even more aggressive, accelerating the Digestion and Qi production rate dozens of times, temporarily stretching the stomach wall thin like a cicada wing, swollen to the point of rupture.
Another example is the Dissolving Stagnation Pill, which uses Codonopsis, Atractylodes to strengthen the spleen and invigorate Qi, costus, Amomum kravanh to circulate Qi and dissolve stagnation, dry ginger to warm the center, and cinnamon to support yang, to prevent excessive supplementation and harm. However, Amomum kravanh was replaced with ginger, which, although similar in appearance, has a vastly different medicinal nature. Once combined with rich and fatty supplements, it instantly transforms the meaty content in the stomach into searing Essence Qi, like oil over a blazing fire, causing the gut to bubble and roll like a cauldron.
Also, the Digestive Pill, made from charred Hawthorn, tangerine peel, radish seeds, and Citrus Peel, using honey to bind them into pills, the combination of the four medicines turns large chunks of beast meat into a pasty concoction, convenient for Body Refining Practitioners to absorb the essence of tendons and bones. However, the Citrus Peel was replaced with orange tree fruits, with effects much more violent, turning the original effect of smoothing and dissolving accumulations into breaking Qi and forcing accumulations, weakening the stomach wall and blood vessels to the extreme.
This way, adding a little bit here, changing a bit there, and more this meal, then more the next meal, without any basic knowledge of Alchemy, it’s absolutely undetectable. By the time it reaches the crucial moment and all dosages are increased simultaneously.
Then the stomach first swells to the point of bursting, followed by the reversal of Essence energy, with Qi Blood coursing horizontally throughout the body, the stomach meridian completely severed, heat steaming, foam rolling with blood. Ultimately, the stomach sac, viscera bursts apart, and the cavity becomes a torrent of blood and meat scraps that gushes out, naturally causing vomiting of several liters of blood, and death by excessive bleeding, in a swift and gruesome manner."
The Chief Mansion Historian was half-believing, half-doubting, exchanged a look.
Then a guard cut open a body on the floor, examining the gut,
"Historian, the stomach sac is ruptured."
Upon seeing it, it truly was as Tie Dan said, the King was also curious to look at Xun Lingrui,
"Then why is she unharmed?"
Just joking, she’s someone specialized in Qi Refining, the usual pills she takes are much stronger than your Gastric Health and Digestion Powder...
"A lady usually eats less, chewing slowly and thoroughly. As long as she doesn’t binge eat or eat in a rush, she’ll be fine."
Xun Lingrui nodded while gnawing on a pig’s trotter.
The Chief Mansion Historian frowned,
"It’s really not you? Then who prepared today’s meal?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at the group of eunuchs, when suddenly a person dashed out from the crowd, flying a palm strike directly at the King’s heart!
"Protect the King!"
Suddenly, chaos ensued!
However, Tie Dan remained seated, Xun Lingrui wanted to move but was held back by him.
After all, the Gifted Child also didn’t move, only widening his eyes watching them. He clearly understood the gravity of the situation, knowing exactly who was the most dangerous right now.
Of course, the King wasn’t that weak; having a Divinity Transformation body, how could he be easily taken down?
"Hmph! Sniveling clown! Trivial tricks!"
Thus, not only did the King not retreat, but he stepped forward, intending to demonstrate his martial muscles in front of beauties, even swinging his fist to strike! A fist breaking through the void!
"Boom!" It shattered the eunuch’s human form with a single punch! Blasting him into a mass of broken bones and meat! Exploding into a mist of blood!
Then the eunuch’s broken bones and rotten flesh, along with the cocoon-like metal compartment hidden within the skin sack, fell to the ground, rolling with a clatter to the Commander’s feet.
"What is th—"
The Gifted Child took a closer look,
"White Horse Dream!"
Tie Dan, without a word,
"Nine Heavens Extreme Clouds!"
"Boom!"
"Aooo!!!???"
A violent explosion sent a massive fireball soaring, bloomed like a splendid firework in the sky.
The surging Qi Wave, scattered debris, and charred corpse pieces blew the Qiu Niu pulling the boat flailing, spinning wildly before crashing into the misty and cloud-bounded Kunlun Mountain.
