79: The event begins!

【So that's it.】

【His true form was actually the long-lost Ancient Giant Kun, and his blood contained the divine power of the sea.】

【Using his own blood in conjunction with the set of "Surprise Ghost Hundred Needles" he learned from the nameless old man in his early years, he finally succeeded in alleviating the princess's condition.】

【However, it still required a period of treatment to be completely cured.】

【Lan Ao successfully showed off and slapped the faces of everyone who had just mocked him.】

【The Immortal Emperor was overjoyed and invited Lan Ao for a discussion. At that time, the Ancient Giant Tribe, in order not to burden Lan Ao, voluntarily offered three individuals to each Immortal Court as test subjects.】

【Ultimately, both sides were happy.】

【The Immortal Court obtained the Ancient Giant test subjects.】

【Lan Ao successfully latched onto the Haotian Immortal Emperor's thigh, received a promise from the Immortal Emperor, and gradually gained the favor of Emperor Consort Chengyang during the process of treating the Emperor Consort, using his many virtues such as humility, politeness, seriousness, and responsibility.】

【In just a few days, he leaped from being a prisoner of the Immortal Court to a honored guest of the Immortal Court, enjoying various preferential treatments and abundant resource supply from the Immortal Court.】

This was a later event in the original work.

Since the plot had been greatly affected by him, it was not entirely unexpected for it to advance to this extent.

'Emperor Consort Chengyang...'

Lin Sheng didn't quite remember the description of her in the original work. Anyway, any woman who left her name in the original work, unless a few were specifically emphasized as ugly, was undoubtedly a peerless beauty.

"Holy Son!"

Tang Chiyue brought Shen Xingtong before him and said, "Sorry, actually these past few days..."

She roughly explained what she had been doing these past few days.

"So?"

"So we plan to give you some compensation."

Tang Chiyue took out a brocade belt woven with yellow silk from her storage bag and said, "There are ten Star Crystals inside. Consider this compensation from the two of us. Do you think it's enough?"

"Alright then."

As he took the yellow brocade belt, Lin Sheng thought to himself, 'What a coincidence. The Holy Spirit Pill Chen Nanzhi refined for me four days ago hasn't been used yet, and now I've received ten Star Crystals.'

'If my luck were a bit better, wouldn't I be able to awaken the Universal Star Eyes later?'

He had never thought about the Ten Great Heavenly Eyes before.

After all, these Heavenly Eyes were basically for support. Obtaining one didn't mean he could instantly destroy the world.

He himself had no intention of obtaining them, but if they were within easy reach, having an extra ability wasn't a bad thing.

"Then we won't bother you any further."

Seeing that Lin Sheng had accepted the compensation, Tang Chiyue felt relieved. She took Shen Xingtong's hand and turned to leave in a hurry.

【Ding! Officially entering the event!】

Seeing the two leave.

Lin Sheng turned back and sat on the recliner, immersing his full attention in the unfolding picture scroll light screen before him.

Passing through the clouds filled with auspicious light, the perspective slowly zoomed in.

What came into view was a vast and boundless cluster of cloud palaces with thousands of buildings, and in the central southeastern direction, there was a magnificent and resplendent giant Immortal Palace decorated with pairs of treasures.

At this moment! The perspective suddenly zoomed in rapidly, piercing through the Immortal Palace and reaching inside!

With just one glance.

Lin Sheng saw many unfamiliar Immortal cultivators standing in the main hall of the palace, chattering and discussing something.

"I am the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Physician Alliance, and I can treat the Second Princess!"

"All the Ten Directions Medicine Elders of Yaoxian Valley have failed! Can the Immortal Physician Alliance do it!?"

"This is Fire Turbidity Disease! Our Sea God Palace's Worry-Free Venerable treated a case twenty thousand years ago, but he has been missing for several thousand years!"

"Why can a mere Fire Turbidity Disease stump so many people? Is there no spell to dispel this illness?"

"Of course, we've tried everything! But this disease is too powerful; it comes back after being dispelled. To cure it completely, perhaps only the legendary 'Demon God Order,' which can bring people back to life, can do it."

"..."

【Narration: After the Haotian Immortal Emperor widely issued hero invitations to the entire world, medical cultivators from all sides came to provide treatment.】

【However, Fire Turbidity Disease is extremely overbearing; it regenerates after being dispelled, and develops resistance and becomes stronger if dispelled by the same spell too many times.】

【Some medical cultivators actually had other methods in mind, such as having Emperor Consort Chengyang change bodies, but they were unsure of the Immortal Emperor's attitude, so they only dared to think about it and didn't dare to say more.】

Just then.

A sound of rattling chains suddenly came from outside the hall. In Chengyang Palace, where the Second Princess resided, such a sound seemed particularly abrupt.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the hall entrance.

They saw the Old One-Eyed Servant beside the Haotian Immortal Emperor leading in a blue-haired young man wearing white prison clothes.

The blue-haired young man looked as if he had been cruelly interrogated, and yet not. Although there were large and small patches of bloodstains and bruises on his body, his face was completely intact without a single scar—as if it was just to highlight that he had suffered.

"Who is he?"

"You don't know him? He's Lan Ao, the former Alliance Leader of the Myriad Demons Alliance from the East Sea."

"I heard the Myriad Demons Alliance already has a new Alliance Leader now, and the new Alliance Leader seems quite brutal."

"What is he here for?"

"What else could he be here for? Coming here must be to treat Emperor Consort Chengyang, just like us!"

【Narration: Upon learning that Lan Ao, a prisoner, also wanted to treat the illness, many medical cultivators present looked down on him.】

【Firstly, the other party was too young; secondly, his cultivation was low; and thirdly, he had no orthodox medical lineage.】

【No one present truly believed that this blue-haired young man had this ability.】

After the three segments of narration ended.

Lin Sheng then saw in the picture, a young man with an unpleasant appearance stepped forward and began to mock Lan Ao in public.

"You are Lan Ao?"

"Hahaha, don't tell me you're also here to treat Emperor Consort Chengyang."

"In the path of medicine, regardless of the school, it requires long-term accumulation and experience. The least experienced person here has a thousand years of medical experience. What about you? At most, you've only been immersed in it for a dozen years. You wouldn't be delusional enough to think you can surpass the medical cultivators present, would you?"

Absurd!

Seeing Lan Ao being mocked, Lin Sheng thought to himself that this was indeed the treatment a main character receives, while also lamenting that supporting characters' mockery could truly be so arbitrary and disregard the occasion.

That was inside Emperor Consort Chengyang's palace!

Lan Ao was even specifically brought here by the old servant beside the Immortal Emperor. Did they really disregard the other party's face?

【Life choice triggered!】

Lin Sheng raised an eyebrow.

Honestly, it was the first time he had triggered an option when the Heavenly Mandated Protagonist was being mocked.

【Because you guaranteed with your life that you could save the princess, you easily obtained the Haotian Immortal Emperor's consent, and he decided to let you try.】

【Who knew that while waiting in this hall, you would actually be mocked? This made you angry, so you decided—】

【A: Remain silent and slap their faces with facts later.】

A is immediately eliminated!

With him around, how could the Heavenly Mandated Protagonist possibly show off?

【B: Mock them back defiantly.】

【C: Become enraged due to your shortcomings being exposed and attack the other party.】

【D: How could you tolerate even the slightest humiliation? Whoever dares to insult me, I will kill their entire family!】
