Chapter 498 - The List of Pill Sinners and Evildoers
The Blood Transformation Palace Master understood in a flash, and his expression became upright and proper. Two bloody blade lights suddenly burst out from his pair of eyes. He firmly stared at the asura incarnation, intending to see through his body and find out what was inside of him.
After roughly the time it took for a joss of incense to burn, the blade lights finally disappeared from his eyes. At the same time, the expression on his face relaxed: “I can’t see anything.”
Gu Zuo was gladdened.
However, the palace master pondered for a short while, and said: “I want to ask my father to use his powers of the Cosmic Realm to observe Tianheng’s incarnation. Would that be okay?”
Gu Zuo thought about it, and looked at the asura incarnation.
The asura incarnation said: “There’s no harm.”
Gu Zuo nodded his head.
He wasn’t familiar with the Blood Transformation Heaven Lord, but since this was the palace master’s father, that fellow’s character shouldn’t be much different. The palace master trusted him, so it was only natural that he was trustworthy.
Besides, when all was said and done, the palace master was only at the Royal Realm. The Cosmic Realm was where one entered the genuine higher-level combat powers. Even if secrecy was maintained in the presence of the Blood Transformation Heaven Lord now, once they bumped into other Cosmic Realms in the future, wouldn’t it be the same as being observed then? It was better to test things with the Blood Transformation Heaven Lord in advance, so that they could make preparations for any situations they encountered later on.
The palace master was pleased by the two people’s trust. Immediately following which, he flipped his hand. In the hollow of his palm, a blood talisman already appeared. He swiftly uttered a few words, and burned the blood talisman in front of Gu Zuo and the asura incarnation.
Before long, Gu Zuo could sense an unusual power bubbling out from the depths of the Blood Transformation Palace Hall. It quickly landed on the asura incarnation’s body, and enveloped him completely.
Off to the side, Gu Zuo waited with bated breath.
In the time it took for a cup of tea to cool, this power rapidly vanished. After that, a voice unhurriedly echoed out: “The same as an ordinary person.”
Gu Zuo’s heartstrings loosened.
The Blood Transformation Palace Master smiled: “Since Cosmic Realms can’t make out anything, Tianheng can travel outside with the asura incarnation. As for the peculiarities of his outward appearance, it can be blamed on his body cultivation method.”
The asura incarnation looked at Gu Zuo with an ambiguous expression: “Does Ah Zuo feel at ease?”
Gu Zuo’s expression was still wooden: “Even if the outward appearance can’t be seen through, you can’t let yourself get hurt. Otherwise, your anomalous body composition can be easily exposed.”
The asura incarnation silently smiled, and extended two fingers.
The fingers were slender and pale. But at this moment, two extremely sharp nails suddenly grew out from the finger tips. Then, the asura incarnation used these nails to lightly swipe across his other wrist —
In a split second, dark-red blood began dripping down.
Gu Zuo widened his eyes: “There’s blood?”
The asura incarnation softly chuckled: “This body was transformed through the power of the path of the asura. Naturally, it’s created by accumulating reddish-black blood poison. Separating a bit of blood couldn’t be more ordinary.”
The palace master spoke up: “Good! In that case, unless the flesh is torn apart, nothing can be seen.”
Having said this, he warned Tianheng again: “However, if you really meet an extremely powerful opponent, this apprentice also doesn’t have to forcibly conceal it. Among the many large organizations in the world, the number of those who can create clones isn’t low. Some have special abilities, too. Although they’re not as miraculous as this apprentice’s incarnation, they’re quite similar. If it’s really exposed, one or two things can be deduced.
“In other words, try your best to keep this matter hidden, but when your life is at stake, just treat it as a trump card. Don’t put the cart before the horse.”
After that, the palace master thought for a moment, took out two more books, and handed them to Tianheng: “These are two secret techniques. One is a cloning method of my Blood Transformation Palace Hall. By using many precious materials, you can obtain a body similar to the asura incarnation. Apprentice, take this book and comprehend it on your own. It might be useful for improving your incarnation. It can be used as a cover for the incarnation, too.
“The second book was obtained when I previously soul searched Yang Hu. Because his memory was fragmented and incomplete, there are only a few subtleties. Apprentice, if you’re interested, you can refer to it for details.”
Naturally, the asura incarnation took them, and said: “Many thanks, master.”
Gu Zuo was overjoyed with the palace master’s thoughtfulness.
Shortly thereafter, a strange look flickered in the asura incarnation’s eyes: “Master doesn’t need to worry. If this body is damaged, my consciousness will return to my main body. Once my main body gathers enough blood poison power, this body can be condensed again. It won’t harm this disciple’s roots.”
Upon hearing this, the palace master was gratified, and said: “Then, that couldn’t be better.”
At this time, he pondered deeply, and continued: “There are six qi oceans in my apprentice’s body, and his achievements in the future will definitely far exceed my own. However, there’s no precedent for how to improve these six great qi oceans, and I don’t know how to give guidance as a teacher... Although, the Ardent Earth Palace Hall’s Eight Points Suppressing Prison, the Howling Wind Palace Hall’s Wind Dragon Nine Transformations, and the Jade Ocean Palace Hall’s Life Seizing Imperial Ocean should all be beneficial for this apprentice in tempering his six paths.
“It’s just that each palace hall’s ultimate knowledge can’t be taught lightly. This teacher can only take some martial skills derived from the three schools of ultimate knowledge for this apprentice to learn. With this apprentice’s comprehension, if you can really master each of those derivative skills, it will be much easier to exchange for the ultimate knowledge to observe, emulate, and comprehend.”
The asura incarnation answered: “Master is considerate. This disciple originally had this intention, but due to various reasons, there hadn’t been enough time to do so.”
In Gu Zuo’s heart, he recalled fondly: This palace master really treats big brother extremely well, and spares no effort in all matters.
The Blood Transformation Palace Master smiled and said: “Derivative martial skills aren’t an issue, but if it’s ultimate knowledge, even if this apprentice is capable of comprehending it, you won’t necessarily be able to obtain it. In the future, this apprentice must do his best to make contributions to the sect, display the sect’s awe-inspiring authority, and promote the prestige of our Ten Ultimates Sect. At that point, it will be more possible for this teacher to fight for this apprentice’s benefits.”
The asura incarnation faintly smiled. A bloody light flashed in his eyes: “This disciple understands.”
Gu Zuo followed along, and nodded his head.
He also understood. In any case, this was a win-win situation, so they would do it!
Speaking up to here, the matters relating to the asura incarnation and subsequent cultivation were more or less settled.
The Blood Transformation Palace Master further inquired when Tianheng’s main body could come out of the void, but after obtaining an unsure answer, he turned to look at Gu Zuo. At this time, his expression was a little strange.
Gu Zuo blanked.
He didn’t quite understand. What happened?
The palace master wasn’t someone who held others in suspense. Upon seeing this, he took out a scroll from his sleeve, and threw it to Gu Zuo. The smile on his face was somewhat peculiar: “Ah Zuo can take a look.”
Gu Zuo blinked his eyes. He accepted the scroll, and unfurled it.
The asura incarnation similarly looked at it.
It wasn’t known what kind of material this scroll was made out of. It was as heavy as gold or jade. Once it was opened, the first line that caught the eyes of several people was — The List of Pill Sinners and Evildoers.
Following that, there were people’s names one after another.
Pill Sinner No. 100: Poison Hand Pill King, He Qing, famous for one pill poisoning one hundred people.
Pill Sinner No. 99: Burning Hand Pill King, Li Zizai, famous for using pill liquids to wipe out a clan.
Pill Sinner No. 98: Poison Heart Temptress, Miao Pianpian, famous for...
Pill Sinner No. 97: ...
A bad premonition suddenly arose in Gu Zuo’s heart.
It was just as expected. Gu Zuo’s gaze continued downward. When he reached the tenth line from the bottom, a row of words appeared:
Pill Sinner No. 10: Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow, unidentified individual wearing a black robe, famous for issuing a world-wide pill bounty, wiping out the bronze-ranked clan surnamed Yang, and forcing the Royal Realm Yang Hu to death.
Gu Zuo was absolutely speechless.
The aforementioned title and name were unfamiliar, but the subsequent description of the major events was clearly his own! How could someone as nice as him get on this list of murderers? This thing certainly wasn’t anything good! In addition, what the hell was this Pill Slaughterer Profound Shadow?!
He really couldn’t describe his current mood...
The asura incarnation had an interested smile: “Ah Zuo’s title doesn’t suit Ah Zuo.”
The palace master said: “This apprentice probably doesn’t know about it. Ah Zuo gained this title all because of this apprentice.”
Based on his experience, just by looking at his dear apprentice’s current reaction, he knew that Gu Zuo definitely didn’t tell his apprentice what he had done. Because he admired Gu Zuo for this matter, he naturally wanted to let his apprentice know what his partner did for him.
The asura incarnation looked over: “Oh?”
The palace master said: “Gu Zuo issued a world-wide bounty for this apprentice, and showed off his skills.”
Following this, the asura incarnation learned right from the Blood Transformation Palace Master’s mouth that Gu Zuo became incredibly furious after he went missing. Gu Zuo unexpectedly used his pill refining skills to urge the people of the world to eliminate the Yang Clan for him, and even forced Yang Hu to kill himself. All that remained of the Yang Clan were just a couple of whelps incapable of practicing martial arts again. Such a large Yang Clan had vanished like smoke into thin air just like this!
The asura incarnation’s pupils flashed with bloody light. His figure swayed slightly, and he was already holding Gu Zuo in an embrace. His voice was soft, gentle, and brimming with happiness: “Ah Zuo’s heart...” His words were drowned between the pair’s clashing lips and tongues, “...has thoroughly moved me.”
The palace master: “...”
Should he leave them alone for a little while?
At the same time, he also had a notion in mind — Sure enough, the temperament of this asura incarnation was somewhat flawed, and needed to be properly controlled. Right now, it didn’t matter when it was in his presence, but if anything significant happened while they were among numerous martial artists, and his apprentice was momentarily stimulated, it would be hard to keep things under control.
Of course, the palace master didn’t know that his feelings, if described using the language of the modern world, would be “under a mountain of pressure.”
Seeing that his family’s big brother was a little love-crazed again, Gu Zuo’s bashfulness doubled.
Last time, it was because there was a problem with his brain that he acted like that in front of outsiders. This time, although it was no longer an outsider, they were doing it in front of their elder! Gu Zuo really couldn’t tell which one troubled him more, outsiders or elders!
Fortunately, although the asura incarnation didn’t like to control himself, it wasn’t like he couldn’t do so. Just now, he wasn’t able to contain his joy because Gu Zuo had done such a big thing for him. There was only the palace master here, so he couldn’t help getting intimate. At this moment, after Gu Zuo struggled a little, he slowly backed away and stopped making out.
As for the palace master’s concerns, the asura incarnation’s temperament was merely preferential. He wasn’t stupid enough to act that way outside.
Gu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed his face. In order to distract himself from his own feelings, he hurriedly spoke to the Blood Transformation Palace Master: “Palace master, what’s this list of pill sinners and evildoers?”
The palace master wanted to appease Gu Zuo for his apprentice, and answered Gu Zuo’s question: “Ah Zuo has probably guessed it, too. Not all pharmacists only refine medicines that are beneficial to others. There are also those who prefer to directly refine harmful medicines. The former uses human experimental subjects when testing new medicines. And what else needs to be said about the latter? This is a list of well-known and vicious people among pharmacists. While the majority are fiendish and black-hearted, a small number are a mixture of good and evil. Due to the testing of medicine, tens of millions are often harmed. The higher the rank, the more dangerous the individual.”
Speaking up to here, his looked at Gu Zuo: “However, the damage done by ordinary pharmacists is limited, so subsequent treatments aren’t troublesome. Therefore, almost all of the people who appear on this list...are pill kings.”
The author has something to say:
Regarding everyone’s comments these past few days... Cough.
First of all, I must say that everyone is really too dirty-minded. I am such a pure author. How can my brains be filled with splashed ink like you guys? This is obviously the most decent and proper path of martial arts! When I was writing about the incarnation, I was thinking about group fights, not group sex! Although it’s true that a certain aspect of the personality is magnified, the consciousness only comes from big brother’s main body. The current situation is that big brother left behind a little bit of his mind to control the main body for absorbing energy and growing back his flesh. His consciousness followed the incarnation, and directly saw Ah Zuo.
Furthermore, it’s not like an energy body doesn’t have a penis. It’s just that he can’t get it up. As a result, he can’t have any pa pa pa!
I’m an author of purity! I’m an author of purity! I’m an author of purity! Important things must be emphasized three times!
