Chapter 31 – Corpse Insect Pill

　　Han Li’s heart was in turmoil, a little fearful, a little regretful, and others were bewildered. Despite the delay, he still couldn’t think of a way to get out of the situation, and he was a bit flustered.

　　He was still young after all, unable to compete with an old geezer like Dr. Mo, and the tactic of forcing his composure so that his expression remained unchanged was still seen by Dr. Mo as a breakthrough. The slightest hint of sweat on his forehead revealed him as a paper tiger.

　　Mo Dafu didn’t spare any change in Han Li’s countenance, satisfied with the immense pressure he had caused, he had always believed that only in the event of a loss of heart and mind could he make the other party spit out his true words.

　　”You think I’m deliberately slacking off and delaying the progress of my practice?” Han Li was stunned by this inexplicable blow.

　　”Of course, two years and you still can’t practice the fourth layer, do you really think I won’t be able to see through your little tricks? The first three layers, it only took three years to complete, even if the fourth layer is too difficult to practice without the help of medication, it’s not as if there hasn’t been a single bit of progress in two years.” Dr. Mo said morosely, his two eyebrows raised upside down, full of fury, as if he had long been dissatisfied with Han Li and was only seething now.

　　”It seems that no matter how I explain, Elder Mo will not believe it.” Han Li secretly laughed bitterly, not realizing that the progress he had just concealed was the culprit for the situation at hand. He had really lifted a stone and smashed his own foot, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to draw out Dr. Mo’s outburst early and uncover the mystery of it all.

　　”There’s no need to say anything else, and I don’t want to know if what you did in the past was true or false. Listen well, now I’ll only ask you one thing: given another year, can you train the Changchun Gong to the fourth layer?” Doctor Mo let out a cold smile and slowly uttered the most important sentence of the day, then without blinking his eyelids, he stared dead center at Han Li, cautiously waiting for his answer.

　　Han Li was sober enough to know that the answer to this question was not only related to the other party’s life in a year’s time, but was also the key to whether or not he could survive at this time.

　　”You should know very well in your heart that it’s impossible for me to give you any other answer. Come, undo my acupoints first.” Han Li’s entire body relaxed all of a sudden, and his tone of voice became light.

　　When Dr. Mo heard what he said, his expression eased up and some appreciation appeared in his eyes, but he didn’t step forward to untie Han Li’s acupoints; instead, he discreetly took out a four-cornered, delicately carved sandalwood box from his arms.

　　”Just by your mouth, I’m not assured, in case you have to come up with a hanging sheep’s head and refuse to cultivate by heart, what’s the difference between that and before. For the sake of your and my little lives, it’s better to add a layer of insurance.” He said grimly.

　　Carefully opening the lid of the box, a white pill lay quietly in the center of the box.

　　Dr. Mo reached out and poked at Han Li’s body to undo the acupuncture points, and without waiting for him to move, he handed the box to him.

　　”You’re a smart man, there’s no need for me to say more nonsense, you know what to do.” Dr. Mo narrowed his eyes, somewhat unkindly.

　　Han Li slightly moved his somewhat numb hands and feet, and without saying a word, he reached out and took the sandalwood box, using two fingers to gently clip out the pills in the box. In front of the other party, without even looking at it, he directly sent it into his mouth and swallowed it.

　　”Snap! Very well, those who recognize the time are the best, as long as you help me return to normal, you will be thanked heavily for less. I also don’t shake you with false words, there is a gap between you and me, really accepting you as a disciple is impossible, but guaranteeing you a lifetime of honor and wealth is still doable.” Dr. Mo clapped his palms a few times and very sincerely made a heavy promise to Han Li.

　　”Now it’s time to tell me the functions of the pill, so that I don’t unknowingly commit a taboo and lose my life.” Han Li’s face was expressionless, without the slightest hint of being impressed.

　　”Hehe, this medicine is called the ‘Corpse Insect Pill’, it’s not really a medicine, but rather some sort of secret method of soaking up insect eggs, after you eat it, it will lurk in your body for a year, don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe within that year, and won’t affect you from doing other things. After one year, you only need to take the special antidote, it will automatically melt away, there will not be any hidden danger left. But if after a year, there is no antidote to take. Heh heh! The worm eggs will suck enough nutrients, hatch out of their shells, and take the large and small internal organs in a person’s body, and eat them alive, so that the person will wail for three days and three nights in pain, before slowly dying.” Dr. Mo spoke of the pill’s power as if it were nothing, secretly warning Han Li.

　　When Han Li heard the poisonous aspects of this medicinal pill, his body trembled slightly, and his face turned ugly, almost unable to control the anger in his heart. But Dr. Mo’s killer app was only about to be used at this point.

　　”By the way, I heard that you have a lot of parents and relatives at home, I don’t know if the silver sent home every month is still enough? If not enough, although to me to ask for, I to your loved ones very miss ah.” Dr. Mo leisurely uttered a long-winded sentence. It was at this moment that he truly bared his fangs, biting down hard on Han Li’s fatal spot in one fell swoop.

　　Han Li’s face had turned iron blue, and he was simply unable to maintain the realm of solidifying his mind and heart as if it were still water, as stated in the book.

　　With the last of his intentionality, he bit his lips tightly, fearing that his words of broken curses or bitter pleas would come out of his mouth. He understood very well that no matter how much he pleaded or threatened, the other party would not spill his hand and let go of this biggest handle.

　　”You can rest assured that within a year, I will definitely practice to the fourth layer.” Han Li clenched his teeth and spoke the above words word for word, no longer hiding his hatred for Dr. Mo.

　　Under the naked threat, he could only temporarily give in. He could not yet do the point of disregarding his parents and ignoring their deaths.

　　Now that Han Li had been caught in his death throes, he had to discard even the idea of dying with the other party and going down with them. In this first encounter with Doctor Mo, he was considered a complete failure.

　　After hearing Han Li’s submissive words, Dr. Mo let out a long breath of sulkiness in his heart; his nervousness was not below Han Li’s, only that it was completely concealed with a bizarre and changeable expression.

　　”This Evergreen Kung Fu is truly evil, the brat is so bad to deal with at such a young age.” Inwardly not knowing whether it was envy or jealousy, Dr. Mo cursed so viciously.

　　In fact, this Changchun Gong, although the cultivation of people have a certain amount of marrow and wisdom, but the specific effect also depends on what people on the body, Han Li was born than the average people of the same age precocious and intelligent, cultivate this Changchun Gong, but also in the intelligence of the mind far beyond the ordinary teenagers.
