Chapter 979 – Can't Avoid the Enemy
Instantly, the fragrant scent filled the entire hall .
"These are indeed divine pills!"
Hu Bugui took one look and immediately cried out jubilantly .
Ye Qingyu also nodded his head in excitement .
This was great!
These pill furnaces truly contained divine pills .
Based on their appearance and the scent they emitted, these pills were definitely peerless medicinal pills .
Ye Qingyu reached out to collect them .
All of a sudden, a bright white light pounced toward the pill furnace from behind them with its mouth wide open . It curled its tongue and more than a dozen light purple pills were sucked into its stomach . He chewed them loudly like large beans and swallowed them all . A fragrant scent wafted from his mouth and an abundant yuan essence aura burst forth from the medicinal pills that it crushed between its teeth .
"Little Nine!"
"Silly dog!"
Ye Qingyu and Hu Bugui both exclaimed in horror .
"Woof! Ha ha ha!" Silly dog Little Nine stood next to the pill furnace after it pulled off its sneak attack and chewed the divine pills with all its might . After it swallowed them in one mouthful, it shot them a smug smile .
It had already formulated this plan earlier and had lain in wait for the right moment to snatch those pills the moment the lid of the pill furnace was opened .
"Woof… obviously, only a divine dog like myself would be worthy of eating these divine pills, ha ha ha . Human, you are too foolish!" Then, its eyes turned furtively and it suddenly turned to charge toward the black lotus plate once more .
However, this time Ye Qingyu caught it in time .
"Little Nine . " He reached out to grab it by its neck and hauled it away from the lotus plate .
This dog was simply recklessly wasting these divine pills . It even swallowed so many of those pills in one shot .
Furthermore, they had yet to figure out what exactly were the effects of these pills .
Hu Bugui quickly carefully collected the remaining ninety over pills with an indignant look on his face . He looked at the silly dog disdainfully and yelled, "You… I can't believe these divine pills of the highest quality were used to feed a dog! It is practically a crime that these pills were wasted and you still swallowed them all . Those pills are totally wasted on you!"
Ye Qingyu was also dumbfounded and casually flung Little Nine aside .
He should have known this silly dog would harbor designs on the pills . What a waste of those good pills .
Little Nineg leaned against the legs of the pill furnace . It wasn't angry but shot a proud sidelong glance at the both of them as it retorted, "What do you mean by saying those pills are wasted on me? Ah? Chief bandit, what are you trying to say? Woof, I'm a divine dog too so these pills were meant for me . You are the one who isn't worthy of these pills . Ha ha ha, those who make the first move will be at a advantage . He he, these pills are extremely potent . Ha ha ha, I can feel a surge of warm qi flowing from my stomach to my head . Woof, I'm about to become an Immortal, ha ha ha ha…"
It was extremely excited .
Hu Bugui gnashed his teeth in annoyance .
Then, something odd happened .
Little Nine's eyes suddenly darkened and its body stiffened . Its limbs started to twitch uncontrollably and mouthfuls of white foam frothed from its mouth .
"Uh… why do I feel like my entire body is going numb? Am I really going to become an Immortal? Uh… I can't move anymore… Boo hoo hoo," before it could finish his sentence, its face filled with surprise as the realization hit it . Its eyes widened and it foamed madly from its mouth . It froze on the spot as though it had been fossilized, just like it was dead .
What was happening?
Ye Qingyu and Hu Bugui were astonished .
Was Little Nine trying to trick them again?
Its acting was far too realistic for it to be pretending . They clearly sensed that there was no energy wave emitting from Little Nine at all and even his life force had disappeared . It was definitely not putting on an act .
Ye Qingyu was also shocked and quickly went to check on it .
When he touched it, he realized that Little Nine's body was still warm .
As his palm pressed against its stomach, he could clearly feel its heartbeat . He placed his hand under the dog's nose and could also feel it breathing . It seemed like Little Nine was still alive and it wasn't dead yet .
Upon closer observation, he noticed that Little Nine's eyes were still turning around .
It was clearly conscious and in a state of panic, but for some reason, it was unable to move .
Ye Qingyu thought it was extremely odd that Little Nine's vital signs had completely disappeared and he didn't show any signs of life . If he didn't touch it but instead observed it with his divine sense or his naked eyes, he would have definitely thought that Little Nine was dead for it was no different from a rock .
This was really strange .
"Could those Immortal pills be poisoned?" Hu Bugui said uncertainly .
"I don't think so," Ye Qingyu said as he shook his head . "No one knows how long these pill furnaces have been at [Tusita Palace] and their seal looked as though it was from the Fiendgod Age, so if these pills were indeed poisoned, Little Nine would have already lost its life…" Ye Qingyu said as he took a purple Immortal pill from Hu Bugui's hand and examined it carefully .
He was also extremely knowledgeable when it came to the art of alchemy .
Moments later—
"This isn't a poison pill and there's no poison in it," Ye Qingyu said confidently . "It contains a shocking power and shreds of the power of laws . It does indeed look like the work of the god of alchemy back then . Medicinal pills are categorized into medicinal pills, spiritual pills and divine pills . These pills are definitely divine pills but I'm still not sure what exactly its effects are . "
Hu Bugui breathed a sigh of relief at Ye Qingyu's words .
Although he had always been bickering with Little Nine, he still thought of it as his friend .
Ye Qingyu dug out a jade bottle and split the remaining pills into four portions . The first three portions were the same but the fourth portion was slightly lesser than the previous three . Then he said, "We've entered this place together with brother Nan Tieyi and this dog so we will split all the treasures we've obtained by four . Since this silly dog had already eaten seventeen pills earlier, it will receive a smaller portion of these pills and I'll keep brother Nan Tieyi's pills on his behalf . What do you think of this, brother Hu Bugui?"
Hu Bugui was stunned and said, "This… is too much . All I've done was to follow you and I didn't even do anything . Three pills will be enough for me . "
Ye Qingyu smiled and didn’t make any further explanations as he passed Hu Bugui's portion to him, "Please don't stand on ceremony, brother Hu Bugui . "
Hu Bugui couldn’t dissuade him, so he accepted the pills .
"Hm, the pills within this pill furnace are a little odd . They contain the essence of the laws but there are obvious side-effects after ingesting them . Um, I'll name them Deathlike Pills . One will fall into a deathlike coma after ingesting them which is a strange effect but if taken well, it might even produce miraculous effects," Ye Qingyu said contemplatively .
He placed the stiff silly dog on his shoulder, then continued to observe the other pill furnaces .
He quickly followed his earlier example and employed the occult technique engraved within the one hundred eight ancient characters on the [Cloud Top Cauldron] to break the seal and open another pill furnace .
This pill furnace was slightly bigger than the pill furnace he opened earlier but it contained fewer pills . There were approximately sixty pills and each pill was as big as a longan . They were dark green in color just like round pearls carved from jade and they were so shiny that he could see his reflection . There were markings inside those pills that resembled Bodhi trees and they looked extremely beautiful . Every single pill emitted abundant life energy, as though it was alive .
"It is as green as jade and its life energy as abundant as the ocean . The pills within this pill furnace seem to be divine pills that could replenish one's energy," Ye Qingyu mused after carefully examining them .
