Chapter 297 Took the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet

Yun s.h.i.+mo took out the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet carefully. This medicine pellet was as big as someone’s thumb, and it was glowing with a red light. There was even a faint layer of holy light covering it.

Normally, a premium quality medicine pellet would have that kind of faint layer of holy light. The brighter the light was, the more effective the medicine pellet would be.

Yun s.h.i.+mo was a little disappointed.

The holy light was not as bright as he thought it would be. If it were brighter, it would be more effective. Then he would be more powerful, wouldn’t he?

Yun s.h.i.+mo took a sip of water and then firmly put the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet into his mouth and swallowed it.

The Soul-rejuvenating Pellet slipped through his throat, leaving a trace of coolness. Just after he took it, the coolness he had just felt in his whole body turned into blazing flames!

Yun s.h.i.+mo endured the pain of being burned by the fire. The sweat was dripping out from the pores of his whole body. And the essence of the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet was converting into powerful anima energy and being integrated into his body!

Yun s.h.i.+mo’s body was being slowly pumped up by the force of the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet, and his robe was finally broken. Seen from a distance, Yun s.h.i.+mo was several times bigger, which made him look like a mountain.

The muscles on his arms were trembling. Yun s.h.i.+mo bit his teeth and kept silent. He was trying hard to integrate the power from the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet into his own body.

After a while, Yun s.h.i.+mo’s skin showed some cracks. That pellet was too powerful, and it had even dehydrated his skin!

Yun s.h.i.+mo was shocked. In fact, he thought that the medicine pellet he had made was not very effective. But after he had really taken it, he got stunned.

The pain from the blazing flames inside his body, plus the cracks on his skin, made Yun s.h.i.+mo so miserable. Even the intensest fight wouldn’t be so miserable for him.

It would probably take several more hours to finally finish absorbing that pellet.

Yun s.h.i.+mo remained patient. He endured extreme pain and slowly refined the force form the pellet that was getting stronger and stronger…

For no reason, the more Hua Qiyue slept, the more restless she became.

She thought about what Yun s.h.i.+mo had said. Was he going to make pellets again? If he was free, he would come and canoodle with her, wouldn’t he?

She sat up involuntarily and got off the bed carefully, not wanting to wake up Tianci on her side.

Hua Qiyue opened the door and walked to the east courtyard, only to find that strange purple light was floating over Yun s.h.i.+mo’s room.

“Qiyue, you are here too?” Ji Feng’s voice was gentle.

Hua Qiyue looked to the left and saw Bai Qianxue, Xuanji, Ji Feng.

It turned out that they sensed the strong fluctuations of the anima energy. When they came out to check, they found it was from Yun s.h.i.+mo’s courtyard.

“Did… did Yun s.h.i.+mo take the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet?” Hua Qiyue asked in a low voice.

“I don’t know, but I guess so. We are afraid of disturbing him, so we stay here, waiting,” Ji Feng nodded and said, “it is impossible for Brother Yun not to take that pellet. He has exhausted all his energies just to advance to the great completeness of Great Deity.”

Hua Qiyue walked towards the other side in silence.

She knew that when Yun s.h.i.+mo did not want to be disturbed, he would usually use anima energy to s.h.i.+eld himself away from everything.

Hua Qiyue gently pushed open Yun s.h.i.+mo’s door. But the door was not locked. She saw Yun s.h.i.+mo sitting on the ground, and his handsome face was red like blood.

What stunned Hua Qiyue more was that his skin was all floating on the surface. Perhaps, it was because his body temperature was too high that the skin was dried up. Some even fell onto the ground.

There was hot steam coming out of his head, and his lips were trembling. Watching him furrowing his brows made Hua Qiyue’s heart ache.

His sweat dripped down and fell on the skin, and then disappeared instantly.

How high was his body temperature?

Hua Qiyue did not dare to go near him. She was afraid that she would disturb his practice.

Seeing how shocked Hua Qiyue was, Bai Qianxue and the other people hurried over. They kept shaking their heads when they saw what a horrible situation Yun s.h.i.+mo was in.

Yun s.h.i.+mo was really a strong-willed person. In that extreme temperature, his skin was all dried up and peeled off from his body, and his lips bled and chapped, but he was still tolerating all the pain.

After four hours, Yun s.h.i.+mo’s body finally slowly shrank and returned to the normal size. He opened his eyes abruptly, and his body was in desperate need of water. But the joy in his eyes made Hua Qiyue stunned!

“I… I finally advanced to the great completeness of Great Deity!”

Yun s.h.i.+mo’s voice was a little bit trembling. He felt that there was unlimited power in his body and that maybe he could snap his fingers to destroy a mountain.

“Congratulations, Brother Yun!”

“That’s great. You have finally advanced!” Hua Qiyue got too excited that she burst into tears. Ji Feng and the others looked at each other. Without saying anything, they retreated from the room.

Hua Qiyue had prepared a large bucket of water and also several jars of warm water long before. After Yun s.h.i.+mo completed his practice and absorption, Hua Qiyue pa.s.sed him a jar of water right away.

Yun s.h.i.+mo drank his water nonstop until he emptied the jar.

Yun s.h.i.+mo didn’t stop until he had emptied another three jars in one breath. He licked his parched lips and tasted the smell of blood.

He felt great! After drinking those four jars of water in one breath, Yun s.h.i.+mo finally felt that his dry body was a little re-hydrated.

Then after Hua Qiyue had retreated, Yun s.h.i.+mo soaked himself into the bucket of water. He discovered that the water had been boiled with the Ginseng with Nine Souls, which provided a lot of energy for his body to heal.

Just in two hours, Yun s.h.i.+mo’s physical condition had returned to its previous level–the cracked skin healed and was restored to its original l.u.s.ter.

He took a bronze mirror and looked at himself. The Yun s.h.i.+mo in the mirror had a healthy and radiant complexion. It seemed that his power was filled.

“After the fierce pain, it is time for soaring promotion,” Yun s.h.i.+mo exclaimed, feeling pretty emotional.

After Hua Qiyue returned to her room, she took out the Spirit-summoning Mirror. A few souls appeared. The Xuanyuan Family’s people were not arrogant or patronizing anymore. They had become subservient and submissive.

Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan hadn’t shown up to rescue them for so many days, so they knew what was going on.

“Princess Hua, sorry that we have offended you. Please show some mercy and let us go!”

The Second Elder’s soul was a faint little man, which was a miniature version of him in reality. He was as small as a little finger, and his crumpled face was full of wrinkles.

Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows and just smiled.

Hua Mengs.h.i.+’s soul also appeared. “My dear sister, can you let me out? I am your little sister. I promise you that I would never do evil things again!”

The bad guys always promised to be good. Hua Qiyue sneered.

Seeing Hua Qiyue remain quiet, the Second Elder knew that she was never going to let him out. So he made a gentle sigh.

And then another soul said, “Princess, I am the Seventh Elder, the prophet of Xuanyuan Family.”

Prophet?

Hua Qiyue was amused a little bit. “As the prophet, couldn’t you tell that Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan would die this time?”

“Yes, I could. But this is fate, and no one can change it. So I didn’t tell the Patriarch.” The Seventh Elder was thin. Although his face was wrinkled, his eyes were extremely cold.

“Then, can you tell me what my fate is?” Hua Qiyue snorted. The souls around the Seventh Elder did not speak but watched him in silence.

The Seventh Elder said in a low voice, “My soul is very powerful so I can see some of your fate, but not too much. Male to the left, female to the right, so please show me your right hand.”

Hua Qiyue showed her palm to the Seventh Elder. He just took a glance at it and then turned to look at her eyes and brows.

Hua Qiyue was not very convinced, because those people would try anything just to leave the Spirit-summoning Mirror.

“Princess, your future and past… are in a mist. I can’t see through them. But I did see some pieces.” The Seventh Elder frowned, and his face was a little pale.

Once his soul power was damaged, he wouldn’t have too much time left to live.

After someone’s soul was taken into the mirror, it would disappear after 999 nights and would never be able to reborn again.

“Tell me then!” Hua Qiyue really wanted to know what the Seventh Elder would say.

The Seventh Elder looked calm, but he did not ask her to let him out. “Princess Jinghua, you seem to have two pasts and two futures. The first future… I seem to have seen your first future. In that future, you were murdered by your husband and another person. About your second future, my soul power isn’t strong enough to see it. I can only see your two pasts. Your pasts…”

The Seventh Elder paused for a few moments. “Wait, I missed some. There must be an important reason for Your Highness to adopt a boy called Tianci. And, the boy, Tianci, has a complex past. He is not from the Zhou Family, is he?”

A loud noise rang in Hua Qiyue’s head. Only Princess Huizhen and Princess Huizhen’s old maids knew about it. But Princess Huizhen was dead, and those maids were buried alive with her.

Moreover, there was no need for Princess Huizhen to disclose that secret before she died. It was meaningless. Because in Princess Huizhen’s eyes, Rong Qiyue was dead, so mentioning Tianci before Hua Qiyue was absolutely meaningless.

It was meaningless for those old maids, either. Therefore, Hua Qiyue was sure that no one knew about Tianci’s history.

Even Xuanji couldn’t prophesy that.

“I know you guys have got the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead, but that bead will also cause you a lot of trouble. But… Well, I cannot let the cat out of the bag anymore, or I will be struck by lightning.”

The Seventh Elder broke into a gentle smile.

The Xuanyuan Family’s Spiritual Bodies all looked at the Seventh Elder in shock.

For them, the Seventh Elder was just another Qi Artist. He was only at the great completeness of Round Sun in Qi Art. Maybe he was somewhat talented in prophesying, but he was not correct all the time.

But then again, judging upon the look on Hua Qiyue’s face, they knew that his prophecy was mostly correct.

Hua Qiyue broke into a gentle smile. “The Seventh Elder, is there any more you want to say? Tell me everything you know, and then I will let you out. After all, you are just an elder. For Yun s.h.i.+mo, the one who had hunted the members of Yun Family is his biggest enemy.”

The implication of her words was that she could let Yun s.h.i.+mo spare the Seventh Elder his life.

The Seventh Elder was a bit shocked. He sighed and said, “I have also told the Patriarch not to kill innocent people before, but they thought that they had gone after the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead for too many years, and giving it up was not worth it. My position in the family was humble, so my words carried little weight and were ineffective. But if you let my grandson and me out, I will tell you more.”
