People looked up at the high sky and praised Haotian's kindness. No matter how diligent they were in cultivation, no matter how perceptive they were, they never dared to dream of flying into the sky. Because they knew that no matter how difficult the road was, it was not as difficult as reaching the sky. The road from the mortal world to the sky was always full of difficulties and obstacles, and no one had ever succeeded.
Haotian Divine Hall was in West-Hill, and claimed to be the only Sect of Light that could understand the will of Haotian. But no one had ever heard of a Great Divine Priest who could become a part of Haotian's brilliance.
There was a kind of elixir in West-Hill called the Heavenly Power Pill. Just from the name, one could tell how precious this kind of elixir was. It was hidden in an Unknown Place and was extremely rare.
At this time, there were two Heavenly Power Pills in the porcelain bottle in Chen Pipi's trembling hand.
"They say that I'm a cultivation genius in a hundred years, and I was given three Heavenly Power Pills after I joined the sect. As a result, the old Taoists deep in the temple held a meeting for three days. You know, Senior Brother Ye only ate one back then … I ate one and kept one to save my life. I wanted to save the last one for Senior Brother in the future, but I just gave it to you?"
"Although the Heavenly Power Pill can't help people reach the Heavenly Power Realm, it can increase one's lifespan by at least ten years if it is given to an ordinary person. If it is given to a cultivator, they may be able to cross the Heavenly Power Realm directly. If the pill is given to the monarch of the Great River Kingdom, it can definitely be exchanged for thirty thousand docile virgins. It's not difficult for him to give up the throne to me. If I give this pill to Tang Ham of the Devil's Doctrine, he may be willing to betray his sect and join West-Hill."
"Such a precious Heavenly Power Pill is given to a poor guy like you to treat his injury?"
Chen Pipi wouldn't care if it was an ordinary treasure, or even if he had to use his Psyche Power to save the dying Ning Que. But the two pills in the bottle were too important. They were the most precious elixirs of Haotian Taoism in West-Hill. If they were spread to the world, it would cause a lot of turmoil, so he was very hesitant.
After a long time, the fat lad sighed bitterly and looked at the unconscious Ning Que. He said weakly, "Those monks always say that saving a life is more important than building a seven-story stone tower. Although I don't know what's so important about those ugly stone towers, I think it makes sense. Although I still think your life is not as important as this pill, the Heavenly Power Pill can't speak, and you have entrusted your life to me shamelessly before you passed out, you?"
The so-called reason was actually just an excuse to convince himself. Chen Pipi showed a sorrowful expression. He unscrewed the cap of the sparkling and translucent porcelain bottle and carefully poured a pill into his palm. Then he sent it to Ning Que's mouth.
The color of the pill was like rice dumpling, without any luster or smell. It didn't attract the singing of hundreds of birds in the night sky. It just gave off a faint herbal smell and seemed very ordinary.
"If you had died earlier, this Heavenly Power Pill could have been saved. If you hadn't come to the Academy, this Heavenly Power Pill could have been saved. If … if you hadn't left your message on the paper when you had no way to cultivate, I wouldn't have known you. Then this Heavenly Power Pill could have been saved."
Chen Pipi stuffed the pill into Ning Que's mouth, picked up the bowl of water beside him and poured it into Ning Que's mouth. He pressed his palm on Ning Que's chest to help him dissolve the pill. He murmured and complained, his face full of sorrow and regret.
"You're so smart, so persistent, and so smart. But your acupoints in the Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow are blocked. You're so pitiful. It's not an exaggeration to say that you're a lad cursed by Haotian."
Ning Que's eyes were still tightly closed, but his pale cheeks quickly became rosy. Chen Pipi stared at him and lamented, "Now that your Snow Mountain has been destroyed and rebuilt, you might be able to unblock some of your acupoints. But you got a serious injury that can't be cured without the Heavenly Power Pill, and you met me, the only person in the world who has the Heavenly Power Pill. But I couldn't bear to see you die. So you are actually a young man who is favored by Haotian."
…
…
The melted and collapsed Snow Mountain was instantly rebuilt by the cold power. It seemed magical, but the structure of the Snow Mountain was extremely unstable and could collapse again at any time. The dangerous glaciers inside were full of holes. Most of the holes could not connect the front and back, but made the Snow Mountain as fragile as a wooden pillar that had been eaten by termites.
The precious Heavenly Power Pill was melted by the water and slowly penetrated down through Ning Que's throat. Before it reached his stomach, it turned into a faint medicinal power and dissipated among his internal organs like a faint starry Divine Light.
Under the illumination of the Divine Light, the Snow Mountain in the distance did not collapse again. A corner rose abruptly and stood quietly under the firmament, as noble as a saintess and as firm as a warrior. It slowly melted and moistened the dry Wilderness under its feet.
A breath of life pervaded that strange space. This breath did not come from the sun above the firmament, but from the origin of the world. Day and night alternated, and the trickling ice stream flowed slowly. Gradually, a second blade of grass grew by the stream and then spread into a grassland.
There were herds of gazelles jumping happily among the grass, and voles chewing the grass roots happily under the ground. Several green trees grew in the depths of the grassland, which made people very happy.
…
…
The Heavenly Power Pill dissipated very slowly, but was absorbed very quickly by the human body. When the last trace of medicinal power melted into Ning Que's Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow, he woke up. At this time, the morning light had risen outside the old library.
He leaned against the wall tiredly, squinting at the morning light coming in from the east window. His dry lips moved slightly, and he murmured so softly that it was almost inaudible, "Everything has its cause and effect. Master Haotian, you naturally have your reasons for bringing me to this world. I knew you wouldn't just watch me die."
"It's not Master Haotian. It's me, the genius, who can't watch you die."
Chen Pipi leaned against the wall beside him and rubbed his dry eyes. He muttered, "You're all guys who have one foot in the Underworld. When you wake up, you don't even know who you should thank."
Ning Que smiled tiredly and looked at his big round face quietly. He really didn't expect that Chen Pipi, who had left a message for a long time, would look like this. He asked, "How did you cure this injury?"
Chen Pipi moved his fat body, rubbed his back against the wall, and stood up with difficulty. Then he put his hands on his waist and moved his sore body. He smiled contemptuously and waved his hand, saying, "How many times have I said that I'm a rare genius in the world? If you were treated by ordinary doctors, you would definitely lie in a coffin. But for me, it's just a small matter of waving my sleeves."
The fat lad had always thought that he was a peerless genius in a hundred years. Therefore, he had been demanding himself with the demeanor of a genius since he was a child. He envied the demeanor of his Senior Brothers, who were most particular about being calm.
Last night, in order to cure Ning Que, he had given him a rare and precious pill. But since he had given it, it would be a bit like showing kindness to others if he kept emphasizing it, which was seriously not in line with his aesthetic taste. Therefore, he didn't explain the details and just waved his sleeves, showing that he didn't care.
Of course, if someone stood in front of him at this moment, he would definitely see that the fat on his round face was slightly twitching because of the pain and regret in his heart.
In the morning light, the pained Chen Pipi turned around with a calm expression. He looked at Ning Que's eyes and suddenly made a request, "Can I see … the big black umbrella beside you?"
Ning Que was startled. After a moment of silence, he looked up at the lad and said, "I don't have the strength. You take it yourself."
So it was Chen Pipi's turn to be startled. He frowned and looked at Ning Que for a long time. After a long silence, he struggled to get down and held the handle of the big black umbrella.
It was a little cold in his hand. The handle of the umbrella should be made of some common wood in the northern part of the empire. The black umbrella looked a little greasy, but nothing else could be seen.
Chen Pipi looked at the big black umbrella in his hand for a long time and didn't see anything wrong. After a moment of silence, he put the umbrella back to Ning Que and said, "Last night, I took the time to inquire about something."
"What?" Ning Que asked tiredly.
"The Vermilion Bird woke up yesterday." Chen Pipi stared at his eyes.
Ning Que frowned slightly and thought of how he felt when he was seriously injured and unconscious on the long street. He thought of the palpitation he felt when he and Sangsang walked through the Vermilion Bird Avenue with the big black umbrella a few months ago. But he really didn't know that the Vermilion Bird in the distance had been awakened at that time, so he just shook his head.
Chen Pipi didn't see anything wrong. After a short pause, he continued, "Yesterday, a Sword Master died in Chang 'an."
Ning Que was silent.
Chen Pipi looked at him with a faint smile and said, "There are many sword wounds on your body. Although they have stopped bleeding, they are not old wounds because of the fire."
Ning Que smiled and looked up to ask, "What on earth do you want to say?"
"You were seriously injured, but you didn't go home to lie down. Instead, you came to the Academy in a horse carriage. It can only mean that you were injured in the morning. At that time, the Chang 'an Local Government was searching for you. You couldn't go home, so you had to come to the Academy to hide. The Chang' an Local Government wouldn't stop the Academy's horse carriage, let alone search for you in the Academy."
"Yesterday morning, the Sword Master died and the Vermilion Bird on the long street woke up. You were injured so many times, but there was no blood on your body. All the wounds were burned by the invisible fire. That can only mean one thing."
Chen Pipi looked at him and said with a frown, "The person who killed that swordsman was you, and the person who caused the Vermillion Bird to be so infuriated is also you. But what I still cannot understand is that the person who did all these things … is just an ordinary person.
"I admire you. If your surname can be Fu, then my surname can be Hua."
Ning Que leaned against the wall tiredly and said, "The problem is that since you saved me after so much trouble, I believe you won't give me to the government. So why do you ask me these questions?"
Chen Pipi raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "Because I, the genius, want to prove to you that nothing can be hidden from me!"
Ning Que looked at him with a smile and suddenly said, "There is no big family in West-Hill that has influence all over the secular world as you said in your message. There is only one place that is afraid of the Academy, and that is Haotian Divine Hall."
"You are not the heir of a family, but the heir chosen by Haotian Taoism. I don't know if your Master was the hierarch of Haotian Taoism or which Great Divine Priest? But I still can't understand why the Haotian Divine Hall of West-Hill, the heir chosen by the Academy, and the peerless genius who has been accepted by the Academy … is so fat. "

(Finish the fight! Sleep! I have to get up early tomorrow! The washstand in the house was completely cracked! It's leaking! I need to find someone to fix it! I'm as angry as Chen Pipi! My pride is hurt! Because I bought it! It's just over the warranty period! And it's very expensive! I don't understand why it's like this!) (To be continued.
