Chapter 281: Chapter 272: The Elixir for Re-Cleansing Meridians

...

In the vast, untamed Beiming land,

Thousands of domains intersect, countless imperial dynasties beyond measure. The great monster beast mountain ranges and life forbidden zones, for ordinary people, even if traveling at Heaven, would take at least a year and a half to cross all of Beiming.

Langya Mountain Range was located in the central region of the Beiming land. Now, Mo Wangchen and Yaoyao were in a certain nation within the Jiangling Domain.

The Jiangling Domain and the Langya Mountain Range were both centrally located in the Beiming land, not far from each other.

The two traveled leisurely, wandering through various nations, in stark contrast to the tense situation across the whole of Beiming, enjoying a certain ease.

"Ming Country’s Human Emperor just passed away. Now the court is in chaos, although the Crown Prince is exceptionally intelligent, his cultivation talent is rather ordinary. At nearly thirty years old, he only possesses the ninth tier of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He cannot intimidate the court and commoners. Rumor has it that at Ming Country’s border, the National Guardian Marshal, a peak Primordial Spirit Realm expert, commands a million troops, intending to march on the capital to usurp the throne!"

"Ming Country is one of the hundred nations in the Jiangling Domain. Although its strength is not top-tier, it has a population of billions. The impending chaos might not affect cultivators much, but for ordinary citizens, it is a disaster. If the National Guardian Marshal indeed sends troops to the capital, how many people will be displaced?"

Walking within the Ming Country Capital, Mo Wangchen and Yaoyao noticed it was not as prosperous as expected. Instead, a sense of desolation prevailed. The commoners were uncertain, and many shops had long closed.

From the discussions around them, they learned that the former Human Emperor of Ming Country had just passed, and now the Crown Prince ascended the throne. Although intellectually brilliant, due to mediocre cultivation talent, he could not intimidate the court. The National Guardian Marshal, commanding a heavy army, intended to usurp the throne.

After all, in this world where strength prevails, only martial power decides everything. No matter how ingenious you might think you are, in the face of absolute strength, it amounts to nothing more than a spark in the dark.

"Hyah!"

In the distance, suddenly a contingent of cavalry galloped in, clad in silver-white battle armor, wielding long spears. They were the Forbidden Guards of the Ming Country Royal Family.

More than ten Forbidden Guards, all at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, rode fine horses, seemingly escorting a half-century-old man, arriving at a posted notice board.

A Forbidden Guard helped the old man dismount, who then pasted a notice on the board.

"Eh? The Ming Country Royal Family is seeking pills?"

People were curious and gathered around, only to see that the notice on the board was seeking a pill that could re-cleans the meridians.

"Could the rumors be true?" a middle-aged man remarked in surprise after reading the notice.

"What rumors?" someone asked, puzzled, looking at him.

"When the Ming Country Crown Prince was born, his birth mother died in childbirth. It is said that the Crown Prince’s wet nurse was recommended by the National Marshal Mansion. Rumor has it in the Ming Country court that the Crown Prince’s mediocre talent was due to tampering by the National Marshal Mansion with the wet nurse, resulting in damaged meridians from breastfeeding, hindering cultivation progress."

"Is the royal family’s search for pills now meant to re-cleans the Crown Prince’s meridians?!" people were surprised and considered this possibility.

"Probably close to the truth. Although the Crown Prince is exceptionally wise, with damaged meridians since childhood, at thirty years old now, he only reached the ninth tier of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Such prowess, as a monarch, would naturally fail to cow the other kings."

"In the long river of Beiming’s vast history, when has there ever been a pill that could re-cleans the meridians? Ming Country Royal Family’s wish to use this to re-cleans the Crown Prince’s meridians is likely to end in disappointment."

All around, people were abuzz, and some indigenous cultivators of Ming Country couldn’t help but sigh.

About the Crown Prince’s history, they had heard of some. Indeed, he was a talented strategist, and if it weren’t for damaged meridians, he might have already stood on a level with other geniuses.

Though he couldn’t compare to the peerless talents on the Great Emperor candidate list, he could have grown into a second-tier genius in Beiming.

"Re-cleans the meridians..."

Outside the crowd, Mo Wangchen and Yaoyao were also drawn over, listening to the people’s words. He could not help but murmur softly.

"Brother Mo knows of such a pill?" Yaoyao curiously asked. She already knew that aside from Mo Wangchen’s talent in martial arts, his Alchemy Dao skill was extraordinarily high. However, she didn’t know to what extent.

"I know of a kind of Vein Mold Spirit Pill, but the herbs are hard to find, and the pain of re-cleans the meridians is more than ordinary people can bear. It’s practically worse than death. I’ve heard of someone using this pill to re-cleans the meridians and ultimately couldn’t endure the pain, choosing suicide." Mo Wangchen nodded, speaking calmly.

In a previous life, he had refined this pill for someone with damaged meridians. Before the person consumed the pill, Mo Wangchen repeatedly warned that re-cleans the meridians was more terrifying than death.

In the end, the person still chose to consume it but couldn’t withstand the pain, choosing to commit suicide during the re-cleans process.

"Let’s go," Mo Wangchen said, then led Yaoyao away.

He had no intention of helping Ming Country. After all, in his view, this pill was no different from poison. Besides, the Ming Country Crown Prince, with merely the Spirit Transformation level of cultivation, wouldn’t withstand that pain.

"Please, wait!"

Suddenly, just as Mo Wangchen and Yaoyao took two steps, the old man who had posted the notice abruptly called out to him.

Mo Wangchen paused, slightly turned his head, and looked back without speaking.

He had already discerned that this old man was of the Primordial Spirit Realm level of cultivation. With such strength, the old man had probably overheard his and Yaoyao’s conversation, even if it was in hushed tones.

"This young friend... Could you come with me to the Imperial City for a discussion?" The old man looked at Mo Wangchen, pondered for a moment, then said.

He indeed heard what Mo Wangchen had just said, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but frown. After all, in the old man’s view, Mo Wangchen was too young. Even if he knew some things about alchemy, how could he genuinely know of a pill that could re-cleans the meridians?

In the infinite history of Beiming, indeed, such a pill has never appeared. The old man posted this notice with a slight hope.

Mo Wangchen looked at him and, after a moment of silence, shook his head, declining the old man’s invitation. He straightforwardly said, "I do indeed know of such a pill, but as I said earlier, re-cleans the meridians requires using spiritual power to destroy all the body’s meridians and then re-cleans them with medicinal power, akin to suffering the pain of a million ants gnawing at one’s heart. It’s beyond ordinary endurance."

"No pain could compare to the countless citizens of Ming Country thrown into the fire sea of war," the old man looked at Mo Wangchen, and after a long silence, he said this way.
