The next morning, the sun had not yet risen, but the team was already ready to set off.
Shi Yan was mixed in with the medicine slaves, looking calm and normal. He followed the team silently. Johnson, who was ready to see Shi Yan make a fool of himself, was surprised to see him calm again.
These days, every medicine slave who drank the Intestines Breaking Powder would be as pale as paper after one night, and their bodies would be extremely weak. Those who were weak couldn't even walk, and even those who were strong would show pain, fear, and uneasiness.
However, Shi Yan walked steadily, and his face was ruddy. Obviously, he didn't seem to be injured. This made Johnson very confused.
Johnson observed for a while. After making sure that Shi Yan was fine, he frowned and walked to the front of the team. He explained Shi Yan's situation to Mo Yanyu and Master Karu.
"Don't worry about him." Master Karu said calmly, "Since that kid is a warrior, he won't show any abnormalities so easily. Wait until his Profound Qi is exhausted, then he will be the same as the others. I know the efficacy of the Intestine Breaking Powder."
"Okay, you go. Just keep an eye on him." Mo Yanyu said lightly.
Seeing that the two of them were so relaxed, Johnson didn't say anything more. He returned to the back of the team and continued to keep an eye on Shi Yan, afraid that he would do something strange.
"Master, how long do you think it will take for him to be in pain?" After Johnson left, Mo Yanyu hesitated and asked Master Karu. She couldn't wait to see Shi Yan rolling on the ground in pain. Only then would she feel better.
"Don't worry. It should be done by tonight."

The day passed, and the moon quietly hung in the night sky.
After the team settled down, Master Karu and Mo Yanyu walked to Shi Yan together. Shi Yan was sitting on the ground in the distance, eating with his head down, as if he didn't know the quality of the food in his hands was poor.
"Master, this guy doesn't look like..." Mo Yanyu wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought. Shi Yan's table manners were not flattering, but he didn't look like he was in pain.
Master Karu's face slowly darkened. He snorted and said, "Are you doubting my ability to make medicine?"
"I don't dare." Mo Yanyu shook her head, "The Grandmaster has already proved the miraculous effects of the Intestine Severing Powder on other medicine slaves. I'm just wondering why … why is he still safe and sound. Did the Grandmaster accidentally leave out some herbs in the last bowl of Intestine Severing Powder?"
"Miss Mo, although I, Karu, am not a high-level alchemist, I won't make any mistakes in such matters." Karu was obviously displeased. He snorted with a straight face, "If you don't believe in my ability, we can go our separate ways now."
"Master, please don't be angry. I didn't mean that. I just thought it was strange. Please don't think too much …" Mo Yanyu smiled apologetically.
"Humph!" Master Karu ignored Mo Yanyu and dashed towards Shi Yan like a bolt of lightning.
Shi Yan lowered his head and pretended that he didn't see Master Karu. However, he was secretly surprised by Master Karu's speed. He was glad that he didn't act rashly yesterday. Otherwise, he would definitely be defeated by Master Karu.
Besides being an alchemist, Master Karu was also a warrior of the Nascent Realm. Shi Yan, on the other hand, was just a warrior of the Second Sky of the Elementary Realm who had just learned how to use the Profound Qi in his body. There was a huge gap between the two of them. Shi Yan had no chance of winning. If he tried to fight Master Karu, he would be dead meat.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Master Karu dashed towards Shi Yan. A strange sound came from the air. In a flash, Master Karu had arrived in front of Shi Yan.
Shi Yan calmed himself down, put down the food in his hand, and looked up at Master Karu.
Master Karu's skinny face was filled with coldness. He reached out his hand like a bolt of lightning and grabbed Shi Yan's left arm. He put his dry fingers on Shi Yan's arm, and a stream of pure Profound Qi rushed into Shi Yan's arm. The Profound Qi flowed through the veins of his arm and into his body, circled around his stomach, and then slowly returned to Master Karu's fingers.
Master Karu's Profound Qi was extremely condensed. As his Profound Qi flowed through the veins of Shi Yan's body, Shi Yan's veins were swollen and painful.
"Huh …" Master Karu frowned in confusion and murmured, "That's not right. The effect of the Intestine Cutting Powder is still there. Why does he still have Profound Qi left, and his stomach is not ulcerated? He's just a weak warrior, so it's impossible for him to have such a pure Profound Qi. He shouldn't be able to last until now …"
Shi Yan let him grab his arm, and didn't resist.
"Master Karu, how is it?" Mo Yanyu walked over and asked curiously.
"Let's wait for another day." Master Karu's face was gloomy, he didn't understand what was going on. He didn't even think about the "Martial Spirit", because the "Martial Spirit" wasn't something an ordinary warrior could have, and he had never heard of a "Martial Spirit" that could heal the body.
Mo Yanyu nodded. Although she was full of doubts, she didn't say anything. She just looked at Shi Yan with a strange expression, as if she was thinking of something evil.
The next night, Master Karu and Mo Yanyu came again to check on Shi Yan's body. They found that Shi Yan's intestines and intestines were still intact. Master Karu's face darkened even more, and he told them to wait another day.
On the third night, the two of them came again. Karu checked again but found nothing.
On the fourth night, Karu came again.
This time, Master Karu held two bowls of "Intestine Severing Powder" in his hands. When it was Shi Yan's turn, he asked Johnson to summon a medicine slave named Gulo, and asked Shi Yan and Gulo to drink the newly made "Intestine Severing Powder" together.
Shi Yan drank the "Intestine Severing Powder" very cooperatively.
"I refined these two bowls of Intestine Severing Powder in one go." Karu watched him finish drinking, and then said this in a lukewarm tone.
Mo Yanyu nodded, "As long as that Gulo's body is rotten, it means there is something wrong with his body. I understand what you mean, Master Karu."
"Hmm." Master Karu nodded, "Let's come again tomorrow at this time and compare the two."

That night, Shi Yan sat on the ground, and slowly operated his Profound Qi with a serious look on his face.
That strand of Profound Qi was gradually lengthened in his body until it reached all the main tendons and vessels. With a change of his mind, the Profound Qi was extremely nimble. It quickly flowed from one tendon to another. Following his mind, that strand of Profound Qi shuttled back and forth between his tendons and vessels like a spiritual snake.
Gradually, that wisp of Profound Qi flowed along the meridians of his arm to the index finger of his right hand. ShiYan concentrated, and that wisp of Profound Qi slowly returned to the meridians of his arm. Suddenly, it sped up and rushed to the index finger like a rainbow, faster and faster.
"Swoosh!"
A strange sound came from the tip of his index finger, and the tingling sensation grew stronger. That strand of Profound Qi rushed into his index finger. Shi Yan's index finger trembled slightly, like the shaking tail of a rattlesnake.
The Profound Qi gathered in his index finger and kept moving, but was blocked by the skin on his finger. No matter how hard he tried, the Profound Qi couldn't break through the skin on his finger, and couldn't leave his body.
"Phew!"
Taking a deep breath, Shi Yan dejectedly withdrew his Profound Qi back to his lower abdomen, and muttered in a barely audible voice, "It still doesn't work …"
There were three levels in the Elementary Realm. Cultivating the Profound Qi was the first level. Mastering the Profound Qi was the second level. Mastering the Profound Qi was the second level. Mastering the Profound Qi was the third level. Mastering the Profound Qi was the third level.
Shi Yan could already operate his Profound Qi as he wished, and was now in the Second Sky. These days, he had been practicing and gathering more Profound Qi, and tried to let it flow out of his finger, hoping to break through to the Third Sky. Unfortunately, after several attempts, he was blocked by the skin on his finger, and couldn't break through.
"It seems that the cultivation of a warrior can't be achieved overnight. The Profound Qi is still not strong enough. Only when the Profound Qi is refined and strengthened can I continue to break through." After another failure, Shi Yan sighed in his heart. He knew that he had been too impatient because he was in a dangerous situation.
He knew that at this time tomorrow, his body would still be fine, and would not be affected by the Intestine Cutting Powder. However, the medicine slave named Gulo would definitely have ulcers in his stomach, or even in his internal organs.
Master Karu would know that his Intestine Breaking Powder was not a problem, and he would also know that his body was different from an ordinary person's. At that time, new troubles would definitely arise. Maybe his good days would come to an end. It was highly likely that Mo Yanyu would kill him right away to avoid future troubles.
It was also possible that Gulo would show signs of being poisoned by the Intestine Cutting Powder the next morning. Maybe he would be in trouble the next morning. At that time, the warriors would not be cultivating as hard as they were now. They would all be watching him, and he wouldn't have any chance.
Looking up at the stars in the sky, Shi Yan's expression became more and more determined. He knew that if he wanted to escape, he had to act tonight!
