Shi Lang fought the demonic cultivators for a bit and killed a few demonic kings too. The lightning tribulation stopped and the Terran quickly caught a hold of the pills levitating in the void. He also stood on the spot to absorb the gentle trace of lightning energy in the void.
Allure was watching this scene from the camp edge with Fairy Moon Jade and clicked her tongue with a smile on her face. Moon Jade asked, "Senior is something the matter?"
Allure looked at her and said, "You said you are his sister, right?"
Moon Jade nodded and the Legendary Beast said, "This guy is a monster. He just absorbed the lightning energy remnant in his body. It will help him a lot."
Moon Jade smiled and said, "It will indeed help him, but such things do not happen daily, do they?"
Allure chuckled and said, "He is a unique alchemist, every pill that he had refined in the past few weeks had triggered a pill tribulation. If you do not believe me ask him for the most basic pills that he have on his person and try to auction them off. You will know the value he holds at the moment."
Moon Jade was surprised, she said, "I did not expect him to have such high skill in alchemy."
As they were talking they saw Shi Lang moving back toward them. The demons were scared of him once again. Shi Lang came over and without talking to them he moved to the holding area. When he reached the place he found that Shi Tao's complexion had turned pale. He noticed two pink lines on her forearm.
On the ground his blood was turning into a puddle. He observed the seven girls in the center. They had some wounds on their bodies. Shi Lang could tell that these wounds were inflicted by themselves to push out the demonic energy.
He was calm and said, "You did a good job holding on till now. Your eyes also look clearer. Open your mouths."
The ladies did as they were told and opened their mouths. Shi Lang flicked his wrist and tossed the seven pills in the mouths of the ladies. The red jade like pill melted upon entry and the enzyme flooded the bodies with a strong spiritual energy.
Shi Lang said, "Hold on, it will not be easy."
The ladies shivered when the energy from the pills rushed through their bodies. The demonic energy was not so easy to purge. It had the tendency to fight back. It would fight back harder and the damage to the body will increase. Shi Lang watched the ladies struggle and said, "Use your spiritual energy to cover your meridians. Do not worry, everyone is here with you."
They did as they were told and soon found the pain to ease a little. Shi Lang smiled and looked at his daughter. He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Why did you cut it so deep?"
Shi Tao revealed a sheepish expression and Shi Lang moved closer to her. He placed his hand on the pink scars, then he took out a pill from one of the bottles and gave it to her as he said, "Eat this, it will replenish your blood."
Shi Tao consumed the spirit pill and the effect was instant. She remarked, "I did not expect you to be such a skilled alchemist."
He has ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm but the things that happened later were a bit too quick for him to have any time to stabilize his realm. Shi Tao said, "You can stay in Mom's sect. There you can consolidate your foundation and monitor the result from the probes."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "You have grown up so much."
He raised his hand and patted Shi Tao on her head. Then after another round of small talk, he retired to his quarters. He took a simple tent and sat down in meditation. At this time, Allure walked inside the tent and asked, "I heard you are leaving in the morning."
Shi Lang opened his eyes and nodded, "Yes, Senior. I am leaving in the morning."
The lady asked, "Then what about me? Where will I go?"
Shi Lang said, "Senior, you can stay here and fight the people as you want. This place will give you all the action that you desire."
Allure sighed and said, "Fine, I will stay here and train these kids."
Shi Lang raised his brows and prayed for the people here. He took a deep breath and said, "Very well, do as you see fit."
Allure nodded and then she left the tent. Shi Lang raised his wrist and left a message to Moon Jade that the soldiers would soon be in trouble. She did not understand much, but when asked, Shi Lang told her to deal with it herself. He had more than enough of Allure these past few days.
...
He spent the night consolidating his foundation and simplifying the information about alchemy. If someone asked him what was going on inside his head, then it would be a lie to say that his thoughts were sorted. In the past few years, he has been on the roll constantly. This process muddled his thoughts, Shi Lang seemed to have lost the clarity he had for his future.
Now, with his people coming over, he needed to make preparation. He was not happy with how things worked in the Immortal world. He did not wish for the liberal minded people of the Federation to entangle with the twisted notions of this place. For that he needed to expand his forces. Asura Hall did not receive any challenge, but they were still forced to work in the shadows.
Shi Lang did not have any intention of making the Asura Hall move in the light but he still wanted for them to have more presence in the society. Asura Hall was not a slaughter house that should be named only when someone was killed.
As he sorted his thoughts, the sun came in the sky. Shi Lang opened his eyes wide and stood up. He left the tent and greeted Fairy Moon Jade and Shi Tao before a brief meeting with the generals.
He told them that the first part of reviving Tian Long has been completed, and that now he needed to seek the materials for the special pill. However, since no one knew what those ingredients were, the secret was safe. Shi Lang did not even tell Healing Hands.
After everything was finished, they wished him all the best and assured him that they will look after Shi Tao. After all, despite the talent, the girl was still an Immortal King. They were her seniors so it was their responsibility to look after her.
