419: Taking pills

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Galan continued to explain:

"The Elixir of Immortality was a Medicinal Pill refined by the Celestial Venerable using the profound power of Luck after sensing the Great Xia Tribulation back then.

Now it seems that the so-called great tribulation refers to the invasion of the Cthulhu evil god.

Originally, the Celestial Venerable intended to use this Medicinal Pill as a trump card to overcome the great tribulation.

But who knew that an unexpected change occurred; on the day the pill was formed, the Elixir of Immortality automatically split into two Medicinal Pills.

After seeing this, the Celestial Venerable sighed that this was Heaven's will, and that this pill was too Heaven-Defying, and only by splitting into two could it exist in the world."

After listening to Galan's description, Lin Qi Ye and Cao Yuan finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that there was such a story behind this Elixir of Immortality.

Cao Yuan looked at Lin Qi Ye, then at Galan.

"Excellent, excellent! Although the Elixir of Immortality split into two, if you two take it, wouldn't it be equivalent to combining them into one?

Indeed, things under Heaven, after long division, unite; after long union, divide. The ancients truly did not deceive me."

Galan's face turned red again, like a ripe apple.

Lin Qi Ye suspected this guy was making an innuendo, but he had no evidence.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the depths of the Pill Hall.

The Queen Mother of the West, holding a jade-green pill pot in her hand, walked out from the depths of the main hall.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing the Queen Mother of the West walk out, the three of them quickly got up and saluted.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded gently and handed the pill pot to Galan.

"Galan, this Medicinal Pill is for you."

Galan took the pill pot with both hands, filled with joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Queen Mother of the West merely shook her head slightly, "It's nothing. Perhaps this Medicinal Pill was waiting for this day, having survived that tribulation back then."

After speaking, the Queen Mother of the West gave Lin Qi Ye a meaningful look.

Lin Qi Ye stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the grace of bestowing the pill. Great kindness needs no words of thanks. If Your Majesty ever needs Lin Qi Ye, please do not hesitate to speak."

After hearing Lin Qi Ye's words, the Queen Mother of the West seemed somewhat satisfied. She said softly, "I only hope that in the future, you will treat Galan well."

Lin Qi Ye was stunned. "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even without the grace of bestowing the pill, I would never let Galan down."

The Queen Mother of the West smiled and nodded, then said, "Now that the Olympian Gods have invaded Great Xia territory, you don't have much time left. Quickly take the Medicinal Pill."

The expressions on everyone's faces froze. Olympus had actually declared war on Great Xia?

Lin Qi Ye wanted to ask something else, but then he heard the Queen Mother of the West say, "Only after you take the Elixir of Immortality will you be qualified to step onto that battlefield. Now, don't waste any more time."

After the Queen Mother of the West finished speaking, Galan directly handed the Medicinal Pill to Lin Qi Ye's mouth and said, "Lin Qi Ye, it's time to take your medicine!"

Lin Qi Ye was helpless. Indeed, if a divine war truly broke out, with his current strength, he wouldn't even be qualified to step onto the battlefield.

Lin Qi Ye opened his mouth and swallowed the white Medicinal Pill in one gulp.

The moment the Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, Lin Qi Ye felt a warm current spread in his stomach, surging towards all his limbs and bones.

The vast energy continuously flushed his Meridians. Lin Qi Ye could even feel that the old injuries accumulated from long-term battles were beginning to heal.

The warm sensation suddenly made Lin Qi Ye's eyelids heavy, and a wave of drowsiness came over him.

The Queen Mother of the West waved her sleeve, and immediately, a jade bed appeared in the main hall.

Galan carefully placed Lin Qi Ye on the bed. After feeling that his breathing was even and steady, the worry in her heart finally subsided.

Seeing Lin Qi Ye's condition, the Queen Mother of the West also felt relieved. She said to Galan, "You stay here and watch over him. Cao Yuan, you come with me to the Sword Tomb."

Cao Yuan was stunned. This trip to Kunlun was originally to seek medicine for Lin Qi Ye.

But now, the Queen Mother of the West actually wanted to take him to the Sword Tomb. Although he didn't know what kind of place the Sword Tomb was, how could there be an ordinary place in the Yaochi Wonderland?

Galan immediately became anxious when she heard that the Queen Mother of the West was taking Cao Yuan to the Sword Tomb.

"Your Majesty, Cao Yuan will go berserk if he touches a weapon."

The Queen Mother of the West slowly spoke, "[Black King's Annihilation] is known as the strongest Forbidden Territory below the King's Ruins, but if it cannot be fully controlled, it's no different from trash."

After speaking, she looked at Cao Yuan and asked, "You, who possess a Forbidden Territory, are clearer about these situations than I am. So, I give you the right to choose."

After listening to the Queen Mother of the West's words, Cao Yuan's mood instantly became excited.

It was important to know that ever since he awakened this Forbidden Territory, Cao Yuan had always been in pain.

That state of having power but falling into a berserk state caused him to commit many killings and inflicted much trauma on his heart.

That's why Cao Yuan had locked himself in Jiuhua Mountain back then, and only decided to descend the mountain after receiving a prophecy from his master.

If it weren't for this reason, Cao Yuan might have locked himself in Jiuhua Mountain for his entire life.

Now, by following Lin Qi Ye, he finally saw an opportunity to escape this pain.

An opportunity to solve the Black King's berserk state.

"Your Majesty, I choose to go to the Sword Tomb!" Cao Yuan said firmly.

The Queen Mother of the West nodded, "Since that's the case, then follow me."

Seeing that Cao Yuan's mind was made up, Galan said nothing more, watching Cao Yuan's back disappear into the Pill Hall.

Cao Yuan followed the Queen Mother of the West, passing through gardens and ponds, all the way to the back mountain.

The scenery here was completely out of place with the Yaochi Wonderland.

This was a barren mountain, where not a single blade of grass grew.

The barren mountain was covered with hard rocks, and those rocks gleamed with a silvery, bright sheen.

Upon closer inspection, countless swords and weapons were actually stuck in them. The so-called Sword Tomb was clearly a massive mountain of weapons.

"Your Majesty, is this the Sword Tomb?" Cao Yuan asked.

"Indeed."

"Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to ask, where did all these weapons come from?"

The Queen Mother of the West replied indifferently, "When I'm bored on normal days, I make some trinkets. Over time, I've accumulated quite a few."

After hearing this, Cao Yuan's inner shock was beyond words.

These densely packed weapons all over the mountain were actually casually made by this mistress of Yaochi?

Suddenly, the Queen Mother of the West seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right. Back then, your Night Watcher's former Commander even specifically came to Yaochi to seek my guidance.

I remember giving them the Ghost God Guide once, the Star Blade another time, and a cloak yet another time!"

Only then did Cao Yuan understand that the standard equipment of the Night Watcher actually originated from Kunlun Yaochi.

He never expected that the Queen Mother of the West had such a connection with the Night Watcher.

"Let's go. Your coming here is also guided by the Black King within you." After speaking, the Queen Mother of the West walked towards the depths of the Sword Tomb.

Cao Yuan followed the Queen Mother of the West and discovered that there was a cave beneath the Sword Tomb.
