Chapter 1691 – Exorcising Garland
Huo Zaiwei froze in place.
”This is …… for this marquis?”
”Right.” Lin Qiye nodded, “This peach can prolong your life and repair your body’s hidden problems for you, so you’ll be able to get much better after eating him.”
Huo Zhaodong gazed at Lin Qiye for a long time, his expression complicated.
”This marquis is just a broken body, even if I have this peach to prolong my life, how long will I be able to live on …… Your kindness is appreciated, this peach was exchanged for you, it’s better for you to eat it.”
”I’ve already eaten it, it’s a waste for me to eat this one.”
Lin Qiye forcefully shoved the peach into Huo Daizi’s hand again, “You are the Champion Marquis of the earth, no one in this world deserves to eat this peach more than you, if you don’t eat it, I will destroy it here.”
Under Lin Qiye’s successive dissuasions, Huo Daizi still sighed and ate the coiled peach into his mouth.
As the Peach enters his body, the pale and weak face regains its blood color with the naked eye, the vitality that was on the verge of withering quickly regenerates, and strong fluctuations of spiritual energy tumble out from within his body, his eyes once again glowing with radiance!
”Marquis, please sit and meditate, I will protect you.” Lin Qiye’s voice rang out from Huo Qiye’s ears.
Surging power rolled from within Huo Daizi’s body, his eyes tightly closed, his entire body immediately sat down on the ground with his knees crossed, absorbing the essence from the peaches with all his concentration, his spiritual power, which was already at the level of a human ceiling, began to grow once again!
Feeling the changes in Huo Zaiwei’s body, shock surfaced on the faces of the others, who also did not expect that the peach contained such a terrifying power.
”What a powerful peach.” Chloe’s eyes widened, “Is this the mysterious power from the East?”
Absorbing the peach was a long process, according to Lin Qiye’s estimation, it would take about half a day for Huo Zaiyou to completely absorb the peach, although this peach couldn’t turn him into a god, it shouldn’t be a problem to lengthen his lifespan a bit.
In theory, a single peach is enough to renew the life of an ordinary person for dozens of years, but for the [Dominant Emperor], this effect should be greatly reduced……. Exactly how long it can be prolonged may only be clear to Huo Zaiwei himself.
”Garland, where’s the Immortality Pill?”
Right at this moment, the Queen Mother of the West turned her head to look at Jia Lan and opened her mouth to ask.
Jia Lan: (⊙x⊙;)
”Eh……”
A bean-sized bead of sweat seeped out from her forehead, and her entire person instantly tensed up, knowing that this day had finally come.
Seeing Jia Lan’s reaction, the Queen Mother of the West’s eyes narrowed slightly, as she reached out into the air, a white dan pot automatically flew out of Jia Lan’s sleeve and landed between her palms.
The Queen Mother of the West opened the dan pot to take a look, and her face turned ugly.
”Where’s the Immortality Dan?”
Just as Jia Lan was at a loss for words, a voice came out from behind her:
”Mother, the Immortality Dan, I let her eat it.”
Mother West frowned and looked over, only to see a green-clothed Lin Qiye calmly walking up to Jia Lan and respectfully speaking.
”Eaten?” Queen Mother of the West’s voice was a bit low, “Lin Qiye, do you know that this Immortality Pill, is a secret treasure for the world to cross over that Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Father refined for the world’s living beings, and its materials are even rarer than your Hongmeng Spirit Foetus, there are only two of them in the world, and there is no possibility to re-refine them in the future ……
The culprit who stirred up the Yao Chi, and the monster who chased after Jia Lan, all came for it, if it was forced to destroy it, at least it didn’t fall into the hands of foreign enemies.
But this Dan as long as eaten, will always exist in her body, not only can not be combined with the immortality Dan to save the world’s living beings, she will also become the target of those monsters chasing and killing …… If she is taken captive, forcibly refining the immortality Dan, then it will brew a monstrous catastrophe again.”
Queen Mother West’s low voice resounded in front of the Great Third Hall, and as that pair of eyes gradually narrowed, a terrifying divine might pressed down on Jia Lan’s shoulders, causing her entire body to fall to her knees before the steps.
Although the Queen Mother of the West seems to be gentle and calm, she has always acted with thunder and lightning, decisive and fierce, if not for this, it would not have been possible to personally blood-wash her own Yao Chi, and even the main gods who came to be her guests were not spared……. In her heart, she has her own set of ideas, and Jia Lan’s private swallowing of the immortality dan against her will is undoubtedly touching her bottom line.
Jia Lan knows the Western Queen Mother’s temperament very well, at this moment his face was pale and incomparable, hanging his head down, not daring to raise his head at all to look directly at the figure in front of that hall.
The Queen Mother of the West took a deep breath, her gilt and purple patterned robes dragging across the steps as she slowly walked towards Jia Lan:
”Before this palace sent them to leave, a thousand instructions, not to swallow dan privately …… now cause such a situation, you better give this palace an explanation.”
Just as Jia Lan’s head was lowered to the point of almost knocking on the ground, a figure stopped between her and the Queen Mother of the West.
”Your Highness, you believe in karma?”
The Queen Mother of the West gazed at Lin Qiye in front of her for a long time before she still spoke, “Cause and effect is one of the supreme paths of heaven and earth, so this palace naturally believes in it.”
”Then if I say that Garland swallowing the dan is cause and effect inevitable, would Your Majesty believe it?”
”Cause and effect inevitable?” Queen Mother West shook her head, “Lin Qiye, this palace knows that you are burdened with the power of cause and effect, but if everything in this world is inevitable due to cause and effect, what is the point of our existence?
There is no cause and effect inevitability in this world, the so-called inevitable fruit is only because someone planted the ’cause’ in advance.”
The so-called inevitable fruit …… is because someone planted the “cause” in advance?
These words fell into Lin Qiye’s ears as if an aura had swept through his mind, and as if he had thought of something, his eyes glowed with a flash of brilliance.
”Your Highness, you’re right, all seemingly inevitable outcomes in the world are because someone planted a ’cause’ …… and I, am that ’cause’ of a person.
I was the one who made it possible for Garland to swallow the Immortality Pill, and this is precisely the ’cause’ that I planted for the future generations.”
Mother of the West frowned at him, “Lin Qiye, do you know how much risk you’re taking by doing this?”
”All of these things were done by me alone, and the risks, naturally, are borne by me alone.” Lin Qiye clasped his hands together and respectfully saluted, “I also ask that the Queen Mother be magnanimous and spare Jia Lan.”
Mother West sank her face, her gaze constantly sweeping over Lin Qiye and Jia Lan as if she was pondering something.
Eventually, she made up her mind and locked her gaze on Lin Qiye.
”Since you insist on planting this ’cause’ of her, this palace will do as you wish, I just hope that you don’t regret it one day. …… “The Queen Mother of the West glanced at Jia Lan one last time, turned around and backward, the sleeves of that gilt and purple patterned robe swinging lightly, her voice slowly coming out, the
”Pearl Soul Jia Lan, against the will of this Palace, privately swallowed the Immortality Dan, immediately expelled from Yao Chi, from now on with this Palace no longer have anything to do.”
Hearing these words, Jia Lan’s gaze suddenly condensed, she looked at the back of the Western Queen Mother’s departure in dismay, like a statue fixed in place.
Only when that figure gradually walked away did she snapped back to her senses, her forehead knocking heavily on the ground:
”Jia Lan …… kneels to send the Queen Mother off.”
