Chapter 109 Peng's Marrow Cleansing
Meanwhile, the face of Zhao Hai, the eldest prince of Qin, grew increasingly gloomy. The anger in his heart burned fiercely like flames swept by a gale, and was difficult to quell.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force, and his eyes were like fiery holes, flashing with the flames of revenge.
“Celestial Master,” Zhao Hai’s voice was low and filled with anger, “we shall return to Qin immediately. I will personally petition my father, the Emperor, to send a large army to attack Ling Kingdom.”
These people from the Spirit Kingdom dared to openly assassinate me! They are utterly arrogant and outrageous! How can I vent my anger if they don't make a bloodbath?
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Master frowned slightly. He knew the cruelty and consequences of war, but faced with the Crown Prince's anger, he dared not easily dissuade him.
So he could only nod silently, indicating his agreement with the Crown Prince's decision.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai's anger subsided slightly, but he still gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.
He knew that once this war broke out, it would inevitably unleash a bloodbath, but he couldn't care less about that now.
To uphold the dignity of the Qin state and to avenge this arrow wound, he was willing to pay any price.
Thus, accompanied by the Celestial Master, Zhao Hai, filled with rage and a desire for revenge, embarked on his journey back to the Qin state.
He had only one thought in his mind: to make the people of Ling pay the price for what they had done.
Meanwhile, on Daya's side, Qinglan Auction House, seeing that Zhao Hai had already left, no longer pursued Daya's impulsive actions.
The group followed the Spirit King back to his residence. Liu Xinhao had warmly invited the Spirit King to join him for a few drinks, but the Spirit King politely declined.
After such an incident, King Ling was in no mood to drink with Liu Xinhao.
When Mei Yanyan caught a glimpse of the Poisonous Yin Cult members from afar, a surge of hatred welled up in her heart. However, she knew that this was not the right time to settle old scores with them, so she forcibly suppressed her anger.
King Ling turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, please rest well tonight. We will set off back to the Spirit Kingdom early tomorrow morning."
After saying this, King Ling turned and left with four beautiful concubines, Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua.
At this moment, Hong Pijing couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then said to Daya earnestly, "You little girl, how can you be so impatient?"
You must know that the Qin state was very powerful. Even someone as powerful as your King Ling had to show deference to the people of Qin.
But you dared to assassinate the eldest prince of Qin in broad daylight, in full view of everyone; this act was far too reckless and impulsive.
Daya listened quietly to Hong Pijing's rebuke without uttering a single word in rebuttal.
"Senior Hong! How could you say such a thing?"
You have no idea what a terrible tragedy our Sujia Village suffered. Those were the lives of more than two hundred people from our Sujia Village, who were cruelly murdered by those evil people.
And you? You're here making sarcastic remarks without any real concern, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering! Afu was furious and retorted to Hong Pijing without any politeness.
Hong Pijing did not show the slightest anger when he heard Afu's accusations.
He shook his head slightly and said earnestly, "You lad, why are you so impulsive? How could I, an old man, not want to avenge this blood feud for you? But you must not act rashly in this matter."
At this point, Hong Pijing paused for a moment, then continued, "Leaving aside the fact that the assassin was the crown prince of a great nation, the assassination itself was no small matter."
If not handled properly, the eldest prince could fly into a rage on the spot, and the situation could escalate rapidly, potentially even triggering a war between the two countries.
"At that time, who knows how many innocent people will be implicated, displaced, and killed... Have you ever considered these consequences?"
Hong Pijing's words were resounding and powerful, and everyone in Sujia Village present was shocked upon hearing them.
They were single-mindedly focused on avenging their dead fellow villagers, but they never considered the potentially serious consequences of their actions.
Only after Hong Pijing said this did everyone realize that their previous ideas were too simplistic and narrow-minded.
After a moment of silence, the crowd began to discuss the matter again. Some believed that they should be patient and plan for the long term; others advocated that they should do whatever it took to seek justice for their loved ones.
For a moment, the scene became a little chaotic.
Just then, Xiao Lie led Cheng Peng slowly out. Seeing the two leave, Mei Yanyan followed closely behind, her face full of curiosity.
Seeing this, everyone stopped arguing and turned their attention to the three of them.
After Xiao Lie and the others left, they started talking about where Xiao Lie had gone. Shanzi guessed that Xiao Lie must have gone to teach Cheng Peng martial arts.
The three of them walked towards the room together. Once inside, Xiao Lie prepared hot water so that Cheng Peng could wash up after taking the pills.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Lie reached into his robes, his movements gentle and slow, as if he were holding a rare treasure.
Finally, he took out a small, exquisite bottle from his pocket. He opened the bottle and poured out a Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Xiao Lie took the Marrow Cleansing Pill and slowly handed it to Cheng Peng.
A hint of barely perceptible anticipation flickered in his eyes as he said softly, "Big guy, this is an extremely precious Marrow Cleansing Pill."
Now take it, then go and bathe and change your clothes. Trust me, this will be of great benefit to you.
After saying this, Xiao Lie raised his hand and gently patted Cheng Peng's broad and sturdy shoulder. Then he turned around and left the room with light steps.
Seeing this, Mei Yanyan was filled with curiosity.
Like a cheerful little bird, she quickly caught up with Xiao Lie's pace.
She was still clutching the delicate little teapot tightly in her hands, chattering incessantly as she asked, "Xiao Lie, what exactly is that pill for?"
What will happen to the black guy after he eats it? Will he become incredibly strong or be able to scale walls? Oh, please tell me...
However, faced with Mei Yanyan's barrage of questions, Xiao Lie simply smiled slightly and didn't say a word, leaving the lively and active girl with a series of mysteries.
At this moment, Cheng Peng, who remained in the room, stood there blankly, staring at the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his hand that emitted a faint glow, looking somewhat at a loss.
After a long while, he came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
But no one expected that not long after Cheng Peng swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill, something unexpected happened—his pores suddenly opened up.
A large amount of dark, sticky filth gushed out of his body, instantly covering his clothes and skin.
The pungent, unpleasant smell permeated the air, making it unbearable even for Cheng Peng himself.
Without thinking, he leaped into the steaming bucket of water that had been prepared beforehand.
About half an hour later, Cheng Peng, dressed in neat clothes, ran to find them with a face full of excitement. He could feel as if he had been reborn.
By the time Cheng Peng appeared before them, the villagers of Sujia Village were already used to it.
In contrast, Hong Pijing and Mei Yanyan immediately noticed the change in him. Although his skin was still dark, it was no longer as dark and shiny as before, but had a healthier glow.
"Young man, after taking the pill you gave me, I feel refreshed and relaxed like never before," Cheng Peng said, his voice filled with gratitude and surprise.
Seeing this, Hong Pijing could no longer suppress his curiosity and teased Xiao Lie, "Hey, kid, what kind of treasure did you feed this dark-skinned boy? How come he's changed so much?"
Xiao Lie smiled slightly and looked at Mei Yanyan, who was equally curious. Xiao Yue saw that Xiao Lie did not explain.
Xiaoyue parted her lips slightly, her voice soft and clear: "Brother, this is a Marrow Cleansing Pill, a pill carefully refined by me."
This elixir is extremely precious and can only be taken by those who have never cultivated before, and only one can be taken in a lifetime to exert its miraculous effects.
If someone with internal energy takes it, it will have no effect.
Upon hearing this, Hong Pijing's eyes widened in surprise: "There are actually such rare treasures! They are truly unparalleled in the world."
