I Have Medicine-Chapter 119

As it turned out, just a moment ago, Gongyi Tianheng discovered that among the six sets of bone pearls within his body, besides the set he'd yet to complete, the other five had all started to faintly tremble. Moreover, the frequency that those bone pearls vibrated was very fast. It was like they got restless and wanted to do something.

With Tianheng's keen senses, he quickly found that this kind of restlessness was like a hunger or thirst.

Those bone pearls were craving something. And this kind of craving had gradually intensified. To his surprise, it made him feel like the shackles to breaking through to the Xiantian realm had loosened slightly.

— One shouldn't say that this was only slightly. This loosening was proof that an opportunity was quickly arriving. Wanting to break through in the future would be even easier.

Afterwards, the poison in Tianheng's palm seemed to be attracted to something and quickly flowed backwards, swiftly roaming throughout his meridians! In addition, it rapidly collided into his bone pearls!

Hummm —

A silent buzzing rang out from within his body.

In a set of bone pearls that vibrated fiercely, the nearest bone pearl immediately absorbed the poison! In the blink of an eye, that bone pearl was coated in a thin layer of gray. It was incomparably strange as it didn't give him the feeling of being poisoned.

Meanwhile, the other four sets of bone pearls settled down and didn't tremble anymore.

As for the poison in his palm, it had dispersed extremely quickly into a whole set of bone pearls within the body.

No less than one hundred eight bone pearls had all become light gray.

Gu Zuo naturally wasn't aware of the changes within Gongyi Tianheng's body. He only astonishingly discovered that the speed of the change in color of his big brother's palm was visible to the naked eye. Unexpectedly, within a couple of seconds, it had recovered its formerly l.u.s.trous white coloring, still like a piece of engraved white jade. It was like it had never been contaminated by poison before.

In a split second, Gu Zuo was both pleasantly surprised and unconvinced: "This, how did this come about? Big brother, did that Poison Transformation Pill really purge all the poison within big brother's body?"

Just a moment ago, it seemed that there was clearly still some poison remaining. It couldn't have been that the medicinal pill's reaction was divided into two sluggish waves, right?

Gongyi Tianheng was also somewhat surprised.

He himself didn't fully understand the specific situation, but he vaguely felt that this set of bone pearls had undergone some hidden changes. It could absorb things that carried poison, and through this poison, it could increase the power in his martial skills. In addition, he had a premonition that this was the same as an opportunity for him to make a breakthrough. So long as the needs of his bone pearls were met to a certain level, in the future, he could successfully advance to Xiantian!

However, with regards to the circ.u.mstances of his own health, Tianheng still couldn't take it lightly. As a result, he quickly told his little pharmacist about this matter.

Gu Zuo was dazed the moment he finished listening.

He thought about it for a long while, and hesitatingly said: "Because the poison was too concentrated when big brother was first poisoned, the bone pearls probably couldn't bear to receive anything and were contaminated. After the Poison Transformation Pill removed a portion of the poison, the rest of it satisfied the conditions. As a result, when the bone pearls discovered the thing they needed, it was immediately absorbed. On the contrary, it left big brother completely fine… I think."

Gongyi Tianheng nodded his head: "Ah Zuo's conjecture is very reasonable."

Gu Zuo sighed.

The bone pearls of his big brother were still very strange…

Tianheng looked at his palm thoughtfully: "Perhaps it's because the Tiandu Body is very special that it has this kind of change. I have a feeling I've actually gained some comprehension in the cultivation method I came up with after the bone pearls absorbed the poison. It's like a profound realm that's just waiting for me to grasp."

Gu Zuo was both a little happy and a little worried: "A self-created cultivation method won't be an easy road to walk. Does big brother have any a.s.surance after getting to this point?"

Tianheng suddenly smiled: "Since it's said that the Tiandu Body has an exceptional IQ, as long as I pay attention and acc.u.mulate knowledge, I should automatically have an understanding. Just like before, I was unable to find a breakthrough opportunity. There weren't any methods even though I was fighting for my life against wild beasts on the mountain. However, there was a coincidental chance afterwards and an unexpected trigger arrived… Since I've chosen this path, I will naturally walk down it firmly. Perhaps I'll comprehend something unknown once I break through."

Gu Zuo really had no speaking rights on the martial path. As his big brother had such confidence, he would just carefully look after his big brother's health.

In any case, he was also very confident in his own medicine refining level.

But just as Gu Zuo thought this, Gongyi Tianheng's next words gave him a fright.

Tianheng: "Since it's like this, Ah Zuo, why don't you extract some of the poison of the Earth Ghosts and let me try some again?"

Gu Zuo's eyes widened: "Big brother, even though you've said so, this is too risky! Isn't this a matter that's still uncertain?"

Tianheng's gaze slightly moved, and a streak of madness flashed through the depths of his eyes: "If we don't try, we'll never know the outcome. That set of bone pearls still feels parched. Perhaps, what it needs is to supplement it with even more poison…"

Speaking up to here, his gaze faintly eased, "If Ah Zuo is worried about me, then refine a couple Poison Transformation Pills that I can keep on hand. After I've absorbed the poison of the Earth Ghosts, if I become unwell, Ah Zuo just has to stuff me with a pill."

Gu Zuo had no other choice.

Being together with this big brother of his, he felt that there'd inevitably come a day where he'd be terrified by Tianheng… Whatever. Persuading him was an act in futility. Besides, could he really still let his big brother remain trapped at perfect Houtian? In any case, the poison currently extracted was that of Houtian Earth Ghosts. It was vastly inferior to the poison of a Xiantian Earth Ghost. In the end, it shouldn't be an issue.

After thinking it over, Gu Zuo didn't waste any time. He went back and hurriedly extracted the toxins and prepared lots of Poison Transformation Pills. Alas, his big brother was so headstrong. There was nothing he could do about it.

This time there was no anxiety, and Gu Zuo's speed was very fast. Not even an hour pa.s.sed before he brought two small bottles out. Among them, one bottle had the extracted poison of the Earth Ghosts, and the other had Poison Transformation Pills. All the preparations were ready.

After arriving in front of Tianheng, Gu Zuo grabbed his wrist: "Big brother, I'm going to use my psychic power to give you a full-body check up first."

— No matter how healthy he seemed on the surface, he'd better give a thorough examination to determine the true results.

Gongyi Tianheng didn't refuse. He only smiled as he let Gu Zuo examine him.

A long time later… Gu Zuo loosened his hand.

He examined him as much as four or five times, and his situation never changed each time. This showed that there weren't any differences from his big brother's health previously; apart from a set of bone pearls which changed to have some gray on the outside, the others were all good.

Although he was still unclear about the theory, since there weren't any problems, he could only act accordingly.

Hence, Gu Zuo gently and cautiously opened a bottle.

In a split second, a horrid odor a.s.saulted the senses. It was a stench that would make a person almost feel sick, but he was still very careful. A single, small drop fell from within the bottle onto the surface of a wound Gongyi Tianheng had just scratched.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the poisonous fluid followed the wound and entered Tianheng's blood vessels. Without carrying any expectations, the area around the cut also blackened. In addition, the pitch-blackness gradually expanded.

Even though it was the poison of a Houtian Earth Ghost, it was still very powerful — After all, the concentration was already sufficient.

Yet, this time wasn't at all like what happened before, where Tianheng's body numbed due to the poison. On the contrary, a very wondrous change occurred.

At first, that poison deepened, but then the color suddenly became lighter! It was just like…there wasn't enough time for it to show off its ferocity before it was obstructed by something.

Gu Zuo summoned his courage and asked: "…How does big brother feel?"

Tianheng raised an eyebrow: "Initially, there was still a feeling of numbness, but that feeling only persisted for a few seconds before immediately dissipating. Right now, I only feel a burning feeling in that area quickly fading… That set of bone pearls before is insatiably absorbing the poisonous fluid."

Gu Zuo's teetering heart was suddenly set back down: "It's good that nothing bad happened…"

Tianheng laughed: "Although this poison is considered the extracted essence of the toxins, and incredibly concentrated, its grade really isn't greater than that of the poison of the Xiantian Earth Ghost. It's to the extent that after that drop entered, the bone pearls just gobbled it up. There weren't any feelings of being unwell."

He paused when he spoke up to here, "Ah Zuo, the bone pearls don't seem satisfied. You can give me some more and let the bone pearls gobble up as much as they like… You can have another look at me again, too."

Because that drop of poison didn't injure Tianheng, Gu Zuo didn't refuse him now. He let the second drop fall onto the cut.

This time's poison was absorbed even faster than the last one!

Gongyi Tianheng slightly raised his eyes to urge Gu Zuo on.

Gu Zuo let out a sigh and continued to drip.

Three drops, four drops, five drops…

Dozens of drops descended one after another. Those bone pearls seemed like a bottomless pit. They simply didn't know satisfaction.

But the poisonous liquid Gu Zuo extracted previously had already been used up.

There was nothing to be done. Under Gongyi Tianheng's smiling gaze, Gu Zuo went back to the room once more and extracted more poisonous liquid.

This time, he extracted a lot more, enough to fill a large gourd. All of it was taken out — Naturally, the Poison Transformation Pills were still clenched firmly in his other hand.

— As long as there was a hint of a problem, he would immediately pour out a medicinal pill and make his big brother swallow it!

This lasted for no less than four to five hours, where Gu Zuo was continuously fetching poison and giving it to Tianheng. From start to finish, those Poison Transformation Pills basically had no use whatsoever. All of the poison had been absorbed into Tianheng's bone pearls. As for the bone pearls' color, the coat of light gray had deepened a little bit.

The Earth Ghost corpses were used up very quickly. Because, once the poison slurry was all extracted, the entire corpse shriveled up. It was like a magical reaction occurred, and even the bones turned to dust.

Merely, Gu Zuo was unable to do anything about the reduction in his research materials. So long as Tianheng needed it, he extract it and let Tianheng's bone pearls absorb it at a steady flow.

Finally, after another large gourd of poison slurry was used up, Tianheng lifted his hand to stop Gu Zuo.

Gu Zuo paused: "Big brother, are you okay?"

Gongyi Tianheng's eyes slightly squinted as he looked at his own palm: "…En, not bad."

The qi energy of that set of bone pearls was even fuller. However, while the bone pearl's thirst still existed, this poison slurry had become a cup of water on a cart of burning firewood. It basically couldn't be greedily absorbed by the bone pearls again. No matter how much was absorbed, there wouldn't be any feelings of satiation or satisfaction like before.

Gu Zuo finished listening and knit his brows: "Then, what will big brother prepare to do next?"

Tianheng's gaze regained its former warmth: "Later on, I'll probably have to search for other toxins to try. Perhaps when my bone pearls no longer feel parched, I can breakthrough to the Xiantian realm."

Gu Zuo's eyes shined: "Really? That's great!"

Tianheng smiled, and started to laugh: "In that case, I'll have to trouble Ah Zuo to extract other toxins to let me try."

Gu Zuo took a deep breath: "I'll do my best."

Of course, after extracting the toxin, he still had to the same as just now. He would first have to fix up antidotes such as the Poison Transformation Pill, Detoxification Pill, Poison Purification Pill, and Poison Dispelling Pill!

After thinking it over, Gu Zuo's heart relaxed.

Then he thought: "Big brother, since you're doing much better now, I'm going to ask the system a question."

Just then, he had been solely focused on meeting Gongyi Tianheng's requirements that he completely forgot that he could also ask the system.

Tianheng had a smile on his face as he nodded.

Gu Zuo just bluntly shouted out: System, do you know what's going on with big brother's reaction?
