Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 23 The Sword Maniac's Intent

"Of course, the power of the Nine Dragons is the power of ascension to godhood, it is not to be missed!"

Seeing Lin Nuo's smug posture of having conquered the high ground, Jing Hongchen fell silent. Then he reached out and pinched the former's shoulder, probing his body with his soul power and spiritual power to examine his body.

However, no matter how many times Jing Hongchen examined Lin Nuo, his body only reflected one state to him:
That is health.

It's like going to bed at 11 pm every day, doing 20 minutes of stretching exercises before bed, drinking a cup of warm milk, and getting a full eight hours of baby-like sleep, resulting in that kind of healthy feeling of being full of energy.

Soul Masters who have normally consumed the 'Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin' have bodies riddled with holes, their vitality and potential severely depleted, making them even more dilapidated than an elderly person in their eighties or nineties.

If Lin Nuo hadn't been so certain, Jing Hongchen would never have believed that he had not only taken the Nine Dragons Coffin, but all nine of them.

"This isn't a Soul Master! Nor a Soul Instructor! How could someone possibly have a constitution completely immune to the side effects of drugs!" Jing Hongchen was so conflicted that he almost pulled his beard off.

How could it be so perfect?

and many more……

Jing Hongchen glanced subconsciously at the glittering point on Lin Nuo's head, and most of her doubts immediately dissipated.

It seems... it's not quite perfect.

Oh well, it's good that nothing's wrong. So what if his head is a little pointed? If he laughs and his head isn't pointed, his brain is still abnormal, so it doesn't matter if he's one more.

As long as cute little Meng doesn't do that.

Jing Hongchen comforted himself in this way.

Xiao Hongchen, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, was unaware that his own grandfather had been secretly criticizing him. He just felt his nose was inexplicably itchy and he had an urge to sneeze.

"Don't go to that 'Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin' restaurant anymore. It's not like we're short of money. We can buy better medicines instead of that garbage," Jing Hongchen earnestly advised.

“That makes sense. How can you eat garbage? I never eat things like Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin. I only eat the power of the Nine Dragons.” Lin Nuo nodded in agreement.

"These two things you're talking about... are they different?" Xiao Hongchen looked completely bewildered.

"Of course there's a difference! Just like you can catch a cold if you sneeze, but you can't catch a cold if you cough. As long as you don't sneeze, you won't catch a cold. At most, I'll just cough!" Lin Nuo put his arm around his good friend Xiao Gongzi's shoulder and sincerely explained the situation to him.

He certainly didn't want his good friend to catch a cold.

"So, you must resist the urge to sneeze, or you'll catch a cold!"

"Ah...ah?" Xiao Hongchen was stunned.

Weren't we talking about the Kowloon Coffin Pulling?
Why are we bringing up sneezing and colds again?
Xiao Hongchen couldn't understand it, but he nodded subconsciously.

Jing Hongchen slapped his forehead, his face contorted in pain.

He knows it!

They were already incredibly intelligent, and now that two brilliant minds have come together, they've become even more brilliant!
Even in the dream of the mortal world, one feels weary.

She was already helpless enough with her stupid older brother, and now she has a stupid husband too. The two idiots together are like two negatives making a positive.

Although she's spent so much time with these two idiots that she's almost tired of their coin-minting conversations, sometimes she can't help but follow their train of thought, only to get herself dragged into a trap...

For example, right now, she was completely bewildered for a while before realizing that she had actually started thinking about the difference between coughing and sneezing, and whether sneezing really could cause a cold...

Completely forgetting that sneezing actually comes from having a cold, it's a cause-and-effect relationship where the cold comes first and the sneezing follows. Unbeknownst to her, Meng Hongchen actually noticed a faint bump on her brother's head.

Is it contagious to have pointed fingers?
Although Xiao Hongchen eventually realized what was happening, by then the whole family was already gathered around eating, chatting happily about other things. It would seem a bit like belated commentary for him to bring it up now.

So, after holding back laughter for an entire night, he successfully drove himself crazy.

"Cold, cold, hahaha, cold..."

……

the other side.

People come and go, but when they pass a bench by the roadside, they subconsciously move to the side and keep their distance from the person sitting on the bench.

It wasn't because the person sitting on the bench was incredibly ugly; on the contrary, the person sitting quietly was extremely handsome.

He was tall and slender, with his jet-black hair cascading messily down his back. His indifferent features were cold and sharp, and his eyes were slightly lowered as he stared at the meteorite iron longsword placed on his lap.

Even with Lin Nuo's appearance enhanced by the Blue Silver Plastic Surgery, he could only be on par with him.

Sword fanatic Ji Juechen.

Although he is only at the Soul King level now, his reputation as a sword fanatic still resounds throughout the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. It is precisely because he constantly seeks out challenges that passersby avoid him.

Nobody wants to get hit, even if the other person is a handsome guy.

"What are you thinking about?" A gentle and graceful voice came from the side, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, and a purple figure sat down next to Ji Juechen.

Her features weren't particularly beautiful, just average, but she had a great figure, which was unfortunately hidden by her long, loose robe, making it hard to notice unless you looked closely.

Jing Ziyan is the only person in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who is not afraid of Ji Juechen and even has a very close relationship with him.

Of course, what it really means is lusting after the other person's body.

It's quite obvious that the sword fanatic doesn't understand love, so he can't see it.

"I've been thinking about what Lin Nuo said today." Facing Jing Ziyan, Ji Juechen was not as taciturn as usual, but earnestly expressed his thoughts.

"What, you've come to your senses? You also want to use drugs to cultivate?" Jing Ziyan raised an eyebrow.

Throughout the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Ji Juechen is the only Soul Master who has never taken any drugs. His cultivation relies solely on meditation and enlightenment, a practice he has maintained ever since awakening his Martial Soul.

His martial soul is a sword, and he possesses innate level three soul power, yet he has already become a Soul King, and he is only nineteen years old.

Compared to him, the group of people in Shrek Academy's inner court are really not geniuses.

Jing Ziyan was naturally aware of Ji Juechen's attitude towards cultivation, which is why she was puzzled as to why he would want to take medicine to aid his cultivation because of Lin Nuo's words.

“He’s right. It’s certainly correct to look inward, but it’s not wrong to rely on external forces.” Ji Juechen replied in his usual calm tone to Jing Ziyan’s somewhat teasing question.

Previously, he only had his sword in his eyes.

But now, he seems to have found a way to make his sword even stronger.
