However, Ren Zhongyuan discovered that this common knowledge was suddenly useless. It was because the stream of essential Qi in his body was extremely strange, and simply could not be reasoned with.
One moment, it was of the metal element, the next moment, it was of the wood element, and after a while, it became of the water element. When he finally made up his mind to refine it, it suddenly became of the fire element. There was no pattern to it at all, so how could he possibly neutralize it?!
Ren Zhongyuan was about to be tormented to the point of going crazy. He was already completely helpless against this strange stream of essential Qi. The only thing that he could rejoice about was that up until now, there had not been any fatal injuries in his body. It was just that he would occasionally feel extreme pain, and when it did not flare up, it would be fine. He could still take a breather, and it seemed like he would not die anytime soon.
However, Ren Zhongyuan still did not give up. Since he was unable to refine it, he could only place all his hopes on medicinal pills. Not only those legitimate antidotes, but any medicinal pills that had the slightest possibility of neutralizing it were consumed in one go. Even if they could not completely neutralize that strange stream of essential Qi, it was good enough if they could only slightly reduce the pain!
To anyone with common sense, Ren Zhongyuan's method was simply playing with his life. The consequences of consuming medicinal pills recklessly were often even more miserable than being poisoned. However, he had already lost his rationality from the intense pain, and could not care about these things.
And what made Ren Zhongyuan overjoyed was that among the medicinal pills he had consumed recklessly, there was actually one that could be of use. It was a medicinal pill known as the Turtle Breath Pill. As the name suggested, it could allow one to enter the state of turtle breath. However, after he consumed it, he did not enter the state of turtle breath, but the circulation of essential Qi in his body stopped.
In this way … That strange stream of essential Qi seemed to have been suppressed as well. As long as this stream of essential Qi did not move about recklessly, he would not feel any intense pain. The only side effect was that he similarly could not cultivate, much less circulate his mental cultivation method.
This was originally a harmful medicinal pill, but he had used it as an antidote, and by a stroke of luck, he had used it correctly.
By the time Ren Zhongyuan finished tormenting himself, the sky outside was already bright. After resting for a while, he immediately wanted to go out and take a stroll. At the very least, he had to act as if he had successfully neutralized that stream of essential Qi, so as to prevent others from looking down on him.
"Senior Martial Brother Ren, it's better for you to stay in the room and recuperate in peace. This was specially instructed by Vice Headmaster Liu. Don't make things difficult for us." Two disciples from the East Continent blocked his path at the door. No matter what, Liu Ziyu was a big shot in the academy. After all, there were still many disciples who obeyed her orders.
Ren Zhongyuan was so angry that his face turned green. In his anger, the zhenqi in his body immediately showed signs of stirring, startling himself. He pointed at the two people at the door and was speechless for a long time. This ancient battleship was his territory, but he was actually being placed under house arrest in his own territory. Who could tolerate such a thing?
"Alright! Good! Alright! " Ren Zhongyuan gritted his teeth and said three times. If it was before, he would have already stepped on these two bastards. But now, he could only endure it. He said coldly, "Fine, I won't go out, but it's not a problem for others to come and see me, right? Go, find Yi Xiaotian for me! "
The two disciples from the East Continent exchanged a glance. It was true that Liu Ziyu had not said such words. This Ren Zhongyuan was a person with a strong background, and they could not offend him too much. They immediately nodded and agreed.
After a short while, Yi Xiaotian came to the room. Seeing Ren Zhongyuan lying lazily on the bed, he could not help but smile. "Brother Ren, you're really relaxed. Looks like there's no problem now?"
"Hmph. It's just temporarily suppressing the poison gas. If I'm really fine, I'll be fine. If I'm really fine, would those two dogs at the door still dare to stand there? "Ren Zhongyuan shook his head in annoyance.
"Sigh, now everything is decided by Liu Ziyu. After yesterday's incident, the others don't dare to make a sound. We can't do anything about it." Yi Xiaotian could only spread his hands helplessly. If the opponent was just Lin Yi, it would be fine. But now, a single word from Liu Ziyu could crush them to death. What else could they do!
"I do have a way to suppress that old woman. How about this, send a letter to me, and everything will be resolved." Ren Zhongyuan pinched his chin and smiled. The corner of his lips once again revealed the proud smile from yesterday.
At noon, the group of disciples from the East Continent, including Liu Ziyu, Lin Yi, and the others, were all eating in the canteen in twos and threes. Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and was instantly shocked. A heavyweight uninvited guest had actually arrived. Captain Okuda!
Hearing the low exclamations from the surrounding people, Lin Yi sized up the newcomer from afar. This was the first time he had seen this legendary captain with his own eyes. He had thick brows and big eyes, and walked with a majestic gait. He looked like a heroic middle-aged man.
To this ancient battleship, Liu Ziyu and the East Continent's diplomatic group were only temporary guests. The real controllers were its original crew, and the person in the lead was this Captain Okuda.
However, the canteens of the East Continent's disciples and the battleship's crew were separate. This Okuda had never come to this canteen before. What was going on today?
"Captain Okuda has graced us with your presence. We have been disrespectful." Liu Ziyu suppressed the suspicions in her heart and stood up to welcome him. The other party was the actual controller of the ancient battleship. Regardless of strength or status, he was not below her, the Vice Principal of the Morning Pride Academy. Even Liu Ziyu had to be polite to him.
"Haha, this captain has come without notice. I hope Vice Principal Liu won't blame me. Come, come, come. Everyone, sit down and continue eating." As Okuda spoke, he took the lead and sat down, not treating himself as an outsider at all. However, he was indeed the host here, and there was nothing to criticize about that.
"Captain, you are a rare guest. May I know why you have come?" Liu Ziyu replied in a neutral tone.
"Oh, I heard that there was some trouble here yesterday. Many disciples from the East Continent were poisoned, so I came to see everyone and see if there's anything I can help with." Okuda laughed heartily.
"Thank you for your concern, Captain. The poison of all the disciples from the East Continent has been successfully neutralized. Everything has returned to normal." Liu Ziyu smiled faintly.
"That's good. You are my distinguished guests. If anything were to happen to you, this captain would not be able to absolve himself from the blame." Okuda laughed, then asked, "Huh? Why don't I see Zhong Yuan? This brat's father is an old friend of mine. It's rare for me to come here, but I didn't even greet him. Vice Principal Liu, can you get someone to call him over for a chat? "
