Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Using Humans to Cultivate dicine, the Pill’s Path of Heresy!
They opened their mouths, and each one unexpectedly spewed out a flower!
It was a green floral branch and calyx, topped with a crimson flower bud, rooting inside their bodies, extending through their throats, and growing from between their lips and teeth!
The flower had not yet blood, still growing, continually drawing nutrients from within them, supplying it for its blossoming!
...
Fang Xiaoyu endured imnse pain, her body numb, throat sore, wanting to vomit but unable to, her body weakened to the extre, completely devoid of strength, unable to move.
She suddenly doubted if she shouldn’t have co to this so-called beauty gathering tonight. Would it have been better to go have a buffet with Bai Mo?
...
Yu Tingting sat in the back row, only feeling sothing stretching from her stomach to her throat, extending from her mouth, endlessly draining her strength, her energy, her Blood Qi; she couldn’t move, her consciousness increasingly dazed, increasingly blurred.
She suddenly realized, she had fallen victim to a terrifying Alchemy Dao trick... wasn’t it said that Alchemy Dao is not an evil path? How could it be this terrifying? Was she going to die?
...
On the podium, Wang Fangyue dumbfoundedly watched her dozens of close sisters, dozens of snow-white necks upturned, spewing tens of flowers... In a trance, she understood much.
She realized that the earliest beauty soup Master taught her to boil with dicine residues was to help gain the trust of these sisters.
She realized that the new beauty soup and Vermilion Powder Master taught her both had issues, and it was likely that Vermilion Powder was the seed planted in the sisters’ bodies.
She realized what Master had said, the Blood Downy Flower gifted on her birthday was right before her eyes, growing from the mouths of dozens of sisters.
She realized her newfound job, her future in West State City was gone. Whether these sisters lived or died, intentional or not, she had already caused great trouble.
Her tears quietly slid down, blurring her vision.
Now before her were two paths: first, to surrender imdiately, explain the situation, and attempt to rescue these sisters. But she was destined for a bleak future, either ending up in prison or consigned to the edges, passing through life in disgrace.
Second, to find the flower in the best bloom from the sisters’ mouths, pick it, and then leave the Immortal Technique Committee unnoticed, flee far away, ascend Sequence Eight, and beco a fugitive.
Were these the paths laid before her by that kind and gentle Master?
She lifted her hand, wiped the tears blurring her vision.
She looked up, scanned her sisters, seeing the flower Fang Xiaoyu spat was already fluffy, seeming to be about to open.
She stepped down from the podium, walked slowly in, slowly extending her hand toward Fang Xiaoyu’s face, toward her lips, toward the flower sprouting from her mouth.
...
In the banquet hall.
Master Chong and Bai Mo had already left Professor Zhang’s table, now gathered around a table, waiting for the server to uncover a large piece of smoked steak!
"Wow, it slls amazing!"
Master Chong sniffed, imdiately asked the server to cut.
"Cut
a piece, bigger, right here, the fatty side!"
Bai Mo and White Tail Tip nearby, also sniffed.
"Once he’s done cutting, take the rest all for ."
Master Chong and the server shared a mont of silence.
Taking away his piece, Master Chong looked at White Tail Tip.
"Your Immortal Beast sure is distinct from the others.
"While other Immortal Beasts devour fur and blood, preferring raw food, yours is quite civilized, eating whatever is fancy, even liking smoked steak."
Bai Mo chuckled, carried away the entire plate, a large piece of steak.
After all, most people in the hall weren’t here for the food, much of this would be wasted, so why not let him and his fox apprentice indulge.
He sniffed again, catching the steak’s aroma.
Smoky scent, mixed with the unique fragrance of beef fat, and rosemary, fennel, and a hint of floral scent...
Hey?
Bai Mo furrowed his brows.
This floral scent?
To be frank, he had never slled this floral scent before. However, this aroma seed so like a certain scent described in ancient texts?
Bai Mo sniffed the air, confirming it, the floral scent wasn’t from the steak but from beyond the banquet hall.
"Hmm?"
Bai Mo once read in ancient texts, within the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, human flower vases trended for a ti, bizarre in style, where humans grew flowers, their dicinal properties uniform, more easily controlled by Alchemists.
He had never grown or slled the real fragrance.
But the current floral aroma in the air seed to match the description in the ancient texts...
...
In the small conference room.
Wang Fangyue’s hand was on Fang Xiaoyu’s face, touching her skin. She could feel her skin drying, wrinkling, yellowing, as if all her nutrition was being sucked away by the flower protruding from her mouth.
And that flower, the bud was already splitting open, faintly visible inside layers of petals.
Wang Fangyue no longer cried, tear marks dried on her cheeks, she looked at Fang Xiaoyu, then at the other sisters, seeing them sitting in chairs just like flower vases, jade necks upturned, flowers sprouting from their mouths.
"I don’t know if you can truly survive.
"I don’t know if you can hear .
"Sisters, my future life is destined to be tough.
"Allow
to pick so more..."
Before she could finish speaking, suddenly a powerful force struck!
Boom!
Wang Fangyue was flung away by sothing unseen, traced an arc across the room, flew back tens of ters, slamd hard into the conference room wall. Then she rolled off, spewing blood, fainting.
The one who flung her away was Bai Mo’s fox apprentice, White Finger! Draped in Invisibility Beast Hide, it cleverly landed on the table, unseen by anyone. Beneath the hide, one paw clutched a bucket, another held a ladle.
Master’s instruction: people first!
It dipped the ladle, touched a bit of dicinal soup to Fang Xiaoyu’s mouth-flower bud.
One drop of dicine touched the flower bud.
Instantly!
Sizzle——
Just like hot oil stir-frying sounds, it echoed!
Fang Xiaoyu’s mouth-flower bud, just like entering a hot pot of oil, began to wither, began to shrink, began to ooze, began to rot... Amazingly decayed at visible speed, rotted in Fang Xiaoyu’s mouth.
Fang Xiaoyu still tilted her neck, her mouth now filled with spoiled broth.
But as this mouthful of decayed flower-bud broth slowly soaked into her throat, her skin seed to regain so color at that instant.
White Finger ignored her, carrying the bucket, light running around the table, dotting dicine for the next female secretary.
Still, with the ladle barely touching the flower, dicine dropped on the flower bud...
Not much ti passed, with Invisibility Beast Hide on, it had dotted dicine on everyone in the small conference room.
At last, it looked at the bucket of dicinal liquid in its grip... hardly used, the water level unchanged.
