read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 493

After a cultivator had severed their Golden Lotus and consumed a leaf-sprouting pill, the pill would stimulate their dantian’s sea of Qi to produce large amounts of Primal Qi to raise their cultivation base and stimulate the growth of a new leaf.

The leaf-sprouting pills were difficult to refine, and the materials needed to refine them were rare. The only lab rats used during the early stages of the pills’ development were cultivators who had entered the Nascent Divinity realm.

Although this was Mingshi Yin’s first time seeing a leaf-sprouting pill, his common sense told him that ordinary people should not eat this pill. Otherwise, the effects would be adverse. As soon as he saw Conch falling, he quickly extended his hand and sent a surge of energy to protect her. Then, with his other hand, he quickly sealed her meridian points with rapid taps.

“Fourth Senior Brother, what’s happening to Conch?” Little Yuan’er seemed slightly anxious now that she discovered something was amiss.

Initially, Mingshi Yin wanted to reprimand Little Yuan’er. However, he did not have the heart to do it when he saw her expression. “Bring her into the room.”

Mingshi Yin and Little Yuan’er quickly brought Conch into Little Yuan’er’s room in the southern pavilion.

Little Yuan’er was beside herself with worry. She asked, “Is she going to be alright?”

Mingshi Yin could not guarantee that so he only said, “Calm down.” He pushed his Primal Qi forward. An energy seal supported Conch. He channeled his Qi through his palm and sent it into her Extraordinary Eight Meridians and into her internal organs. He could sense the intense surging of the medicinal effect in her body. He was shocked to discover it was growing more and more intense. It was no wonder she had fainted since she was unable to withstand it.

“She’s a mortal!” Mingshi Yin exclaimed in shock. If she had the slightest bit of cultivation base, he could have helped her by routing the Primal Qi from the pill into her dantian’s sea of Qi and help her break through to avert the danger. However, since she was a mortal, the pill’s effect had nowhere to go and was ricocheting around her internal organs. He knew this could not go on.

Medicine was three parts poison. Moreover, even cultivators would be in agony after consuming this pill. One had to know cultivators had to endure harsh Body Tempering processes. Their Extraordinary Eight Meridians had been tempered as well. A grand cultivator in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm was much more powerful in terms of physical strength even without help from their Primal Qi.

Without hesitation, Mingshi Yin kept channeling his Primal Qi.

“Hm?” Mingshi Yin sensed that the pill’s effects were moving toward her dantian’s sea of Qi. Her life would be in danger if this went on. He had to stop this.

Mingshi Yin dared not let his guard down. He used his Primal Qi to stop the pill’s effects inside her Extraordinary Eight Meridians. He blocked the entrance to her dantian’s sea of Qi.

At this moment, Conch grunted. Blood trickled out from the edge of her lips.

Little Yuan’er started in shock. She said hastily, “Fourth Senior Brother, I’ll go get master! I’ll go get master…”

Mingshi Yin did not stop her. He focused on protecting Conch.

Little Yuan’er ran out of the room.

Mingshi Yin did everything in his ability. Saving someone was much more difficult than killing someone, especially when it was something as unexpected as what he was dealing with now. Soon enough, his forehead was drenched in sweat.

Soon enough, Lu Zhou arrived outside the southern pavilion. The female cultivators around bowed at him.

Bam!

Lu Zhou waved his arm. A blast of energy opened the door, and he entered the room.

“Master!” Mingshi Yin looked sheepish. “I didn’t intentionally do this! She was too quick! Don’t worry, she’ll be fine soon!”

Lu Zhou looked at Conch; her condition did not seem promising. A pained expression could be seen on her face, and there were bloodstains on the edge of her lips as well. Most importantly, white fumes were rising from her body. These signs showed that Conch’s outlook was not good.

“Move aside.”

“Understood.” Mingshi Yin moved to the side at once. He wiped his sweat away and remained bowing. He dared not move. His heart raced as he looked at Conch furtively. ‘You better survive, young lady. Otherwise, master will beat me to death for sure!’

Lu Zhou walked to the bed. He placed two fingers on her wrist and channeled some Primal Qi into her body. Conch’s Extraordinary Eight Meridians were in a mess. The pill’s effects were restless and impacted her dantian’s sea of Qi. Without experiencing Body Tempering beforehand, mortals had no place to store the Primal Qi from the pill. They would only end up imploding and dying.

He raised a palm. A faint blue light shone from between his fingers.

To visit many places without having to move, reaping many benefits.

This was the fourth Heavenly Writing power: the power of immaterial existence.

When the power entered Conch’s body, the pill’s effects were immediately nullified by Lu Zhou’s power that was stronger.

Lu Zhou did not use too much of his extraordinary power. He merely used a small portion of it. Healing could not be done overnight. However, as he healed her… he discovered more and more about her unique and intriguing characteristics. ‘That can’t be right!’

Mingshi Yin was beside himself with anxiety. He was worried something bad and unexpected might happen. He hastily pulled Little Yuan’er to the side and asked softly, “Where did this young girl come from?”

Little Yuan’er honestly told him what she knew.

Upon hearing Little Yuan’er’s words, Mingshi Yin was certain Conch was a mortal. He felt more at ease now. ‘It’s fine. Even if something were to happen, it won’t be a big deal.’

At this moment, the blue light suddenly flashed blindingly bright in the room. A powerful blue lotus instantly enveloped the entire southern pavilion.

Mingshi Yin was shocked. He looked at the light from the blue lotus on the floor. Then, he looked outside the room.

Lu Zhou was standing in the center of the blue lotus. He was pressing down with both palms. The petals of the blue lotus seemed alive between his fingers. Under the sunlight, the blue lotus’s radiance seemed exceptionally brilliant.

A powerful surge of life energy rippled out from the southern pavilion into the surroundings like a tide.

The first ones to notice this strange phenomenon were the four elders of the Old Age Pavilion.

Leng Luo, Pan Litian, Hua Wudao, and Zuo Yushu walked out of the room. The four of them looked at the dazzling blue lotus.

“What’s happening?”

“I’ve never seen the pavilion master unleashing such a grand healing technique!”

“I’m afraid he must have encountered a trouble!”

The four of them frowned slightly.

Without saying another word, Leng Luo raised his palm. “Hundred Tribulations Insight.”

Leng Luo’s avatar did not have a Golden Lotus. Even so, a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar was still a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. It was not something that a Ten Worlds avatar or below could compare to. He sent his avatar into the air.

“Elder Leng, what are you doing?” Pan Litian was puzzled.

“I understand now…” Hua Wudao unleashed his avatar as well. Similarly, it did not have a Golden Lotus. His Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar flew into the air.

Pan Litian shook his head. “Just as well. I should be the first one to help.” He joined his palms, and his avatar materialized. He pushed upward, and his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar flew up as well.

The three Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars did not have Golden Lotuses.

Zuo Yushu was shocked. “You’ve all severed your Golden Lotuses?”

“What’s wrong with that?” The three of them looked at Zuo Yushu.

They could sympathize with Zuo Yushu. After all, she had just joined the Old Age Pavilion. It was expected that she would not immediately sever Golden Lotus.

An unnatural smile could be seen on Zuo Yushu’s face as she said in an exhausted tone, “I didn’t think any of you would really sever your Golden Lotuses…” Then, she slammed her staff on the ground.

Whizz!

The script seals on her staff floated out. The script seals looked like bricks that stacked on top of each other into a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.

The three elders looked at it at the same time. They were inwardly amazed by it. There were many ways to form an avatar in the Confucian Societies, just like the Daoist Societies. However, this was an impressive method. There were advantages to using unconventional methods. One could usually catch one’s opponents off-guard. The downsides were the might and speed were not as great as the conventional method. They noticed that Zuo Yushu’s avatar did not have a Golden Lotus as well.

The four avatars did not have Golden Lotuses.

The four elders exchanged glances and smiled.

At the same time, they positioned their avatars so that they covered the southern pavilion before they flew toward Little Yuan’er’s room.

Their avatars grew. Although they severed their Golden Lotuses, and they were now smaller. Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars were still an impressive sight and would strike fear into the hearts of the people who saw it.

The four shining and golden giants, three males and one female, surrounded the blue lotus’ leaves. Power seemed to pour down from the sides like four waterfalls. The golden radiance and the blue lotus merged as one as they descended.
