Chapter 390: Removing the Gu Poison
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
Tang Xiu swept his Dantian with his perception. The stars inside had disappeared and were replaced by a black hole vortex exuding a terrifying aura. Tang Xiu was aware of what was behind the black hole whirlpool.
_It’s the feeling of power!_
Tang Xiu clenched his fists. He felt like he could blow a house to smithereens. Furthermore, the moment he circulated the star force in accordance with the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis’s circulation route, the black hole inside his Dantian released a steady stream of Star Force. It was as though the black hole vortex was connected with the countless stars in the vast universe.
“Benefactor Tang!”
The Dao Master Ziyi and Miao Wentang rushed in from the outside. When they saw Tang Xiu sitting on the sofa, Dao Master Ziyi couldn’t help calling out to him.
“Boss Tang, are you okay?” Miao Wentang urgently asked, “What happened before? That aura was too horrifying.”
Letting out a faint smile, Tang Xiu then shifted his vision from the two men toward Ji Chimei, whose expression was ever changing. She was holding some things and had come behind the duo.
“I’m fine! However, due to cultivating a special cultivation technique, it turned out to have a special connection with this Demon God Spirit Devourer Cauldron. Thus, it has been refined by me. Dao Master Ziyi, if my subordinate is unable to heal your disciple, I would have no means to give the Demon God Soul Devourer Cauldron back to you. At the most, I can only use other ways to compensate you.” Tang Xiu said with a helpless look.
Dao Master Ziyi furrowed his brows. He observed Tang Xiu’s expression and could tell that it was unlikely that Tang Xiu was joking. He then slowly asked, “Benefactor Tang, I’ve used this cauldron for dozens of years to concoct various pills. But this kind of matter has never happened to me before. I want to know something. You said this cauldron is called the Demon God Spirit Devourer Cauldron, what kind of existence is it exactly?”
Tang Xiu chose to conceal it previously because, despite the breakthrough in his cultivation, he was still not Dao Master Ziyi’s opponent. In case that Dao Master Ziyi knew that this Demon God Spirit Devourer Cauldron was a Divine Artifact and he acted without caring for the consequences, he would perhaps have to face a dead end.
However, he suppressed the thought after thinking about it again. Because this time, he had Ji Chimei here. If Dao Master Ziyi really dared to act against him, Ji Chimei would directly send him to death’s door.
_Nevertheless, I should opt to conceal it! So as to avoid leaving a knot in his heart!_
After his mind revolved, Tang Xiu slowly said, “This cauldron is called Demon God Spirit Devourer Cauldron. It had once housed a sentient spirit, except that the cauldron spirit has long vanished. What is left now is only a cauldron suitable for crafting tools and concocting pills. You have also seen the images left back then. It was imprints left by the spirit before it disappeared. It was triggered by my power, so it activated. So to speak, it brought me a lot of benefits. At the very least, it helped me improve my cultivation.”
Dao Master Ziyi felt quite bitter inside. However, comparing his disciple and the Demon God Spirit Devourer Cauldron, he realized what was more important.
“Benefactor Tang, since this Demon God Spirit Devourer Cauldron has chosen you, this is your good fortune. This poor Daoist only hopes that you can fully cure my disciple. Like I said before, this Demon God Spirit Devourer Cauldron is yours; provided that you can treat and heal my disciple.”
Tang Xiu slowly nodded. He then looked at Ji Chimei and asked, “Is everything I need prepared?”
“Yes, everything’s ready!” Ji Chimei said, “You can begin at any time.”
Tang Xiu stood and took everything from her hands, saying, “You all wait for me here. I’ll go upstairs to craft a symbol. Once I finish manufacturing it, I’ll begin treating your disciple.”
“All right!” Dao Master Ziyi complied.
After three hours passed by, Tang Xiu finally succeeded in crafting the Crepe Myrtle Kindle Symbol. When he came downstairs, he handed it over to Ji Chimei and solemnly said, “It’s your turn now. Don’t let me down!”
“Rest assured!” Ji Chimei nodded as she took the Crepe Myrtle Kindle Symbol and walked into the room.
“Benefactor Tang, you’re not following her?” Dao Master Ziyi was startled.
“It doesn’t matter if I go or not.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “She will be the one removing the Gu Poison, not me!”
“May I ask something first, Benefactor Tang? Who is she…” Dao Master Ziyi curiously said.
“She’s my subordinate!” Tang Xiu said.
Dread could be seen on Dao Master Ziyi’s expression. He could feel a dangerous vibe from Ji Chimei the first moment he saw her. The most puzzling thing to him was that Ji Chimei seemed to be just an ordinary old woman. There was not the slightest sign of cultivation from her.
“Brother Tang, this subordinate of yours is really powerful.” Miao Wentang said, “If my guess is not mistaken, her cultivation must be far beyond mine and Dao Master Ziyi’s. I’m afraid it has reached the point that is enough to make us look up to her, am I right?”
“She’s indeed very powerful.” Tang Xiu said with a smile, “She can easily break through the Thousand Revolutions Array with her strength alone.”
“What?” Miao Wentang exclaimed, flabbergasted.
