Chapter 776 - Vomit the Pill
After hearing the old woman’s words, Meng Jing feels startled.
She thinks subconsciously, “Has the incident in the Immortal Burying Valley really been found?”
Yet, she finds it is barely likely.
After all, the green phoenix didn’t leave any Qi. Besides, if it were found, supposedly, it shouldn’t be the old woman who came here. Even if she came, she shouldn’t come alone.
historical
Therefore, this must be a trap!
She takes a breath and says, “Immortal Burying Valley? I didn’t go there. Granny, I heard from the other fellow disciples that the Immortal Burying Valley was very dangerous. Do I need to go there?”
The old woman stares at Meng Jing and doesn’t drop her smile but her eyes become more profound.
Meng Jing stares at the old woman in confusion. She is like a born actress, who must be exceptionally superior to the currently popular actresses.
The old woman finally speaks.
Her words break the silence.
Her smile looks very amiable.
“Since you didn’t, that’s fine. Actually, it is not a big deal if you did. Honestly, I do hope that you did,” the old woman sighs and says.
Meng Jing thinks about it and feels that the old woman was really being honest with her.
She is clear that actually, the old woman expects that the green phoenix in her body can become strong and work for her.
Therefore, Meng Jing is not suspicious of this issue.
“Oh right, take this.” The old woman suddenly takes out a small box.
Meng Jing knits her eyebrows and takes the box.
“What’s this?”
“It is a pill,” the old woman says with a smile, “Eat it and it will help you with your cultivation.”
Meng Jing doesn’t say anything but looks at the old woman with struggling eyes.
The old woman also senses Meng Jing’s eyes and says coldly, “What? You don’t want to eat it?”
“It is okay to eat the pill but Granny, I hope you can tell me the truth,” Meng Jing says calmly.
Having stayed such a long time with the old woman, Meng Jing knows more or less about the old woman.
At least she can never believe this pill is conducive to her cultivation.
“Fine. As long as you eat the pill, you can never tell others about the position of the Ghost Sect. As long as you have such a thought, you will die at once,” the old woman says, “Every disciple of the Ghost Sect, including me, has eaten it. Therefore, you don’t need to hesitate now. You know about this, right? After all, you used to be a student of the Cultivation Academy. You must know it.”
Meng Jing smiles bitterly.
She is very clear.
As such, when the old woman takes out the pill, she feels a headache.
She was wondering why she didn’t suffer the restriction of the Ghost Sect after she became a member of the Ghost Sect.
So the moment finally comes?
“Jing, you’ve been one of us now. You must eat the pill. Understand?” The old woman says.
Meng Jing smiles bitterly.
Of course Meng Jing understands what she said.
Although she has guessed this moment would arrive, she still has a fluke mind.
Now, the fluke mind is completely gone.
She is clear that if she doesn’t eat the pill, it will be impossible for her to go to Five Ghosts Mansion and steal the Ghost Token.
The old woman must keep watch on her firmly.
Therefore, even though Meng Jing is unwilling, she cannot say no now.
She is very clear that if she refuses to eat the pill now, she will be regarded as harboring evil designs and being disloyal.
After eating the pill, she feels a rush of magic energy spreading in her body.
The old woman is still smiling but her smile is different from before. Now, her smile looks more genuine.
She nods and says nothing more. Now that her mission has been completed, she turns around and leaves.
After the old woman leaves, Meng Jing feels something wrong as soon as she stands up.
The energy transformed by the pill in her body is directly dispersed by another rush of energy and then expelled out of the body. It is like throwing up after having a gastro spasm. Yet, what Meng Jing vomits is a puddle of black water.
“What’s going on?” Meng Jing feels quite confused but she is not sure whether what she has thrown up is the pill she ate.
She must find a way to confirm it but she also wonders whether the man in black can give her the answer. After all, she cannot turn to others for now.
Yet, she must be careful now. Anyway, she cannot have herself killed before taking action.
As long as the mission is not completed, she must stay alive.
She mutters to herself inwardly.
...
After coming back from the sea, Earth Dragon directly goes to look up information about the Song Dynasty and the Jin Empire.
He looks quite hard-working.
Gao Ge has got an idea.
Earth Dragon doesn’t ask too much. Besides, he is also worried that if he asks too much, he will disrupt Gao Ge’s mind.
After going back, Gao Ge immediately meets Heaven Dragon and asks him to transfer Wen Yihuan here.
After all, Master Guanshan is here. It is not inappropriate if Master Wen comes here.
However, Gao Ge is not a member of the Dragon Court whereas Wen Yihuan still is. Regarding the transfer of personnel, he still needs Heaven Dragon’s help.
“Aren’t you going to establish your own sect? In this case, Wen Yihuan is kind of your man. You can ask him to come on your own,” Heaven Dragon says.
Hearing Heaven Dragon’s answer, Gao Ge doesn’t feel flustered anymore.
“If you need experts in supernatural things, I can make some arrangements for you. How about lending some to you?” Heaven Dragon says with a smile.
“Forget about it.” Gao Ge thinks about it and shakes his head, “I don’t feel easy about using your men.”
His words just make Heaven Dragon so furious.
“You don’t feel easy about using my men? Is Wen Yihuan your man now?”
“You just mentioned he was my man.” Gao Ge grins.
Heaven Dragon suddenly feels regretful so one must be careful about his words.
He feels so uncomfortable about being unable to diss Gao Ge...
Seeing Gao Ge rise and leave, Heaven Dragon can only continue being angry while Fire Dragon is laughing gloatingly aside.
“Can Gao Ge really find a way to the Ghost Sect?” After a while, Fire Dragon stops laughing and asks.
Heaven Dragon picks up the teacup and takes a sip of the tea. The tea leaves are specially brought here by him.
“I don’t know. I hope so,” Heaven Dragon says, “It is kind of our backup plan.”
“Why don’t you give him some more support then?”
“Earth Dragon is helping him. Wen Yihuan is also coming. What other support do you expect me to offer? To gather a team of archaeologists for him? We are not here to engage in archaeological studies,” Heaven Dragon says snappishly.
Fire Dragon thinks about it and also finds what he said is reasonable. Besides, if too many people come here, it will be too eye-catching. It is obviously not a good thing for them now.
