Chapter 399 - Indigestion (2/2)

“Sir, please create some kind of medicinal pill or digestion aid tablet to help it,” Fang Ning came up with an idea.

“I can’t do that. It must be the causal side effects. If it couldn’t digest the question, it would be rebounded with a stomach ache. Usual cures and pills wouldn’t help!” The System said while shaking its head.

“What do we do now?”

“I’ll try and activate its meridian points. My martial arts skill is at the Legendary-level, so I can see the meridian points of the insect.” The System thought of an idea.

“Sure, let’s rush over,” urged Fang Ning.

At that point, the Bodhisattva Spirit King, Gui Da, Gui Er, Zhong Hongying, and her subordinates surrounded the Divine Gate anxiously.

“I want to save Lord Insect Prime!” pressed Zhu Hongying. As a female, she had always liked the pure creature with naivete.

Now that she saw Chong Daqing rolling in pain, she felt as if it was her own baby enduring the pain.

“No,” warned Bodhisattva Spirit King.

“Why?” Zhu Hongying asked as she looked at the great green insect worriedly.

“You can’t get through the first step,” Bodhisattva shook his head as he said.

“Oh.” Zhu Hongying’s face darkened.

Bodhisattva was not wrong. She knew her own situation and her unfinished business. The mystery of her fiery death had been left unresolved with the death and disappearance of Gui Qi.

“What do we do now?”

Bodhisattva Spirit King sent his voice telepathically, saying, “Daqing, you can stop trying so hard. Come back, two steps are plenty enough.”

He had a true heart of kindness. He would not force Chong Daqing to keep trying just so the Spiritual Insects could have a brighter future.

Chong Daqing rolled around in pain and began to roll down from the second step.

The green frog asked nicely, “Do you want to quit?”

“I quit, I wanna quit…” Chong Daqing pleaded.

The frog waved its arm, sending Daqing out of the Divine Gate.

A line updated on the Divine Gate. “Spiritual Insects, 1 entered, 9 remaining, ascension progress 2.”

“What a shame.” The bystanders all shook their heads.

“As I thought, there aren’t many shortcuts we can take. In times where real talent and raw power count, we need to be hardy ourselves.”

“That’s so tiring. After cultivating a whole day, I’m exhausted. You want me to read? The Heavenly Axiom was just finding fault.”

Chong Daqing charged at Bodhisattva Spirit King and complained, “I’m in a lot of pain, daddy, help me.”

Vigilante A approached them and the green insect immediately switched over, rolling around on his shoulder.

“My stomach is aching, Great Azure Dragon, please save me.”

“I’ll ease your pain temporarily.” Vigilante A pointed with his finger as a stream of vital energy shot at a joint on the insect’s third leg.

“Hey, I’m not in pain anymore,” said the great green insect in surprise. “Great Azure Dragon, you’re really great. What technique is this?”

“This is the Art of Meridian-Blocking. It can only ease your pain temporarily. If the source of the pain is not removed, the pain will come back twice as strong in six hours.” Vigilante A shook his head.

“What? It’ll come back stronger? I’d better die now. Daddy, remember to resurrect me, I want someone with even more legs than this.” Finishing its sentence, the great green insect wanted to knock its head on the Divine Gate.

A stream of vital energy appeared and stopped it.

“It’s no use. You must be injured by the Maxim of Causality. As long as the question was not digested, you would experience the pain no matter what body you’re in,” Vigilante A explained.

“Brother Dragon is right. Daqing, your new ability is unbelievably strong, but it carried a risk as strong as its power, as was shown to you.” Bodhisattva Spirit King said seriously.

“So, what can I do now? I don’t want it to keep aching, how would I eat? The big blue whale just gave me something to stimulate my appetite, isn’t it wasted now?” Chong Daqing said with a sad face.

“What thing can stimulate your appetite? Let me have a look,” Vigilante A’s eyes lit up. “If it is something rare, I might be able to use the Dragon Clan’s secret technique to synthesize something for you.”

A black-something was flung out of the silver bangle on Daqing’s leg.

Vigilante A perused it for a while before his eyes brightened up even more. Nodding, he said, “It is a treasure, it should be able to solve your problem.”

Bodhisattva Spirit King inspected it and shook his head. “I can’t tell what the mystery about this thing is. Care to explain?”

“Hehe, you’ll find out soon enough.” Vigilante A smiled lightly before the black thing disappeared into his hand.

The great green insect said, “Please be quick, or I will wish to have died six hours later…”

“Don’t worry, it doesn’t take six hours. I can use a Dragon Clan’s secret technique to speed things up, it’ll be ready in a few moments.” Vigilante A explained confidently.

“Alright then, I’m not worried anymore.” Chong Daqing touched its belly and said, still slightly scared.
