The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 89 | Perpetual Pills
After all was cleared, elder Xu then returned to the main hall to meet the sect head.
“I have heard what happened to this day, including your gamble with the king” empress said the sect chief as he glanced fiercely at elder Xu who instantly broke out in cold sweat.
“Although the sect leader, I was tricked by the empress so willing to follow the gamble” said elder Xu reasoned.
“Hahaha... It's okay, this is still according to our big plan” said the sect head.
Elder Xu was relieved to hear that, he did not expect the sect head to not scold him for agreeing to the gamble.
“But next time do not carelessly make a decision, or I will kill you” he continued with a cruel gaze.
“Hamba did not dare” said elder Xu felt shivering by the gaze.
“Alright, you give this immortal pill to the empress. Remember this must be given to the queen of the king” he said then waved his hand at the elder who was beside him.
The elder then took out a golden box that contained a clear colored pill like a pearl scented with flowers and had an overwhelming aura.
“Chairman, this pill is very valuable. We don't have to give it to empress” said elder Xu.
Plaque!
This time a loud slap landed on Elder Xu's cheek making him bounce with a swollen face. The strength of the sect head was incredible, being able to thicken a Royal Priestess who was at the level of a Holy Priestess easily.
“You want to teach me? Remember you made this mess” snapped the sect head who made elder Xu shiver no matter the pain.
“Ampuni servant chief, I dare not” sahut while kneeling.
“Go! Remember my words, this pill should reach the Empress' hands. If something goes wrong, I will not forgive you” he said back
Elder Xu then took the immortal pill box and immediately went to Liu's royal palace to give it to the king's empress.
“The two of you, follow elder Chu, your task is not finished yet. There is still something you need to do next” the sect head ordered on Xu Huang and Xu Meng.
“Good chairman” sahut them almost simultaneously.
Elder Chu then took them to the training ground that had been prepared for them.
“Eld Shi, have preparations been made?” asked the sect head to an elder who was still with him.
“All are as planned, healer Su Cheng has completed the manufacture of soul strengthening pills” elder Shi said.
“Good, we will use the pill to strengthen the sacred body. Only the pill could make the human body become so powerful as to withstand high-tier spirit power.” said the sect head.
“Then the pill?” ask elder Shi next.
“Hahaha... I am not a fool to give it to others” said the sect leader laughed.
“I've made a duplicate. We'll see what mess he's gonna make. Hahaha..” continued the sect leader while laughing and went towards the training room.
In the training room, the sect head saw a figure of a woman sleeping inside an ice-cold rock yet her body was still warm. The woman is the woman of choice who has been found by them according to the day of her birth and her chastity.
“Chairman, all prepared” elder Shi said respectfully.
“Okay, we wait for the full moon to wake her up. Still 10 more days” said the sect leader smiled.
“Hahaha... finally after such a long time.“ the sect head laughed loosely.
At Liu's royal palace, the Xu elder or Royal Priest had come to see the king's empress.
“Your Majesty, I have brought you the immortal pill as per our gamble” said elder Xu lowered his head and handed over the golden box.
The empress then opened the golden box that elder Xu handed her, smelling the scent of medicine and fragrant flowers. A pill as beautiful as a pearl was called an Eternal Pill, but neither elder Xu nor the empress knew that the pill was not the real one, but a duplicate of it.
The queen happily received the gift and kept it.
“Thank you elder Xu. I thought you wouldn't give it to me” said the king's consort.
Elder Xu's face was sour, in fact he did not want to give it sincerely, but he did not dare to defy the orders of the sect head. So he could only nod and smile at the empress.
“Hamba dare not, if there is nothing else, I beg for permission to pamit” said elder Xu lowered his head.
“Good, please elder Xu” sahut empress king.
After the departure of elder Xu, the empress felt very happy. The immortal pill he had coveted was now in his hands. He looked at the pill trying to research its authenticity.
The empress was not a very skilled person in medicine, so she only knew a little about immortal pills, so she felt they were real pills. He hesitated a little to drink it, so while he just kept it first.
Back at Wuming College, three days after the martial arts match, elder and chairman Yun had successfully concocted an antidote to the potion props. Then they gave it to elder Yang Fei and miss Xie Lin.
To help speed up recovery, Shen Long drained his spiritual energy into their bodies.
Shortly after, elder Yang and Xie Lin also regained their senses from their long slumber.
“Where am I?” ask elder Yang after he wakes up.
“Ah, elder Xie. Brother Shen. What the hell's been going on? Why am I with you?” his question came back when he saw elder Xie and Shen Long were at that place.
“Kakek” shouted Xie Lin after waking up and hugging his grandfather.
Elder Xie's eyes glazed over seeing that his grandson had recovered, he was so grateful to Shen Long who had helped save him.
“Chairman Yang, Miss Xie, rest first. Your bodies are still weak.” said Shen Long.
“True, you guys eat first some bribes to restore your condition” said chairman Mu who has prepared soft porridge for them.
The bewildered Elder Yang did not understand what had happened, but since elder Xie and Shen Long were with him, he felt calm and immediately tasted the food that had been provided.
None Xie was the same as elder Yang, he felt happy to see his grandfather back. His last memory was going back to the spirit-releasing sect with his grandfather, after which he did not remember anything at all.
Then they all left the two people who had just recovered, only elder Xie who was still there accompanied them.
“Shen, it looks like my job is done. Yun Chao and I will return to Weiyang City. Will you come with us?” ask elder Yun
“Sorry elder Yun, I have promised to go to the Sacred Valley to help see the condition of the Sacred Teacher. After all I have to solve the problem of the spirit-releasing sect and the Eternal Mountain sect, Shen Long said.
“Alright, return to Weiyang city to meet us if your business has finished” elder Yun said later.
“Good elder Yun” said Shen Long while bowing his head in their respect.
After all, elder Yun and chairman Yun were the ones who had picked him up from the streets and given his family away. So this debt of gratitude Shen Long will never forget in his life.
