I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

"Therefore, rather than Emperor Bow Master of Fate, I prefer to call Him the Demon Bow Ancestor. On the contrary, the Compassionate Medicine King, even though the Alliance has given Him the infamous title of Ancestor of Longevity Plague, has never brought death. Even if He is a demonic being, as long as He can find a way to maintain his sanity, He can be a blessing."

Dan Shu recounted her inner journey without reservation.

She knew that from the moment Hua Yi discovered that he was the master of the Medicine King's secret teachings, some things were already destined.

However, Dan Shu did not think he was wrong, nor did he regret anything he had done.

The only thing she regretted was that she couldn't stop Yufei from going to war with the army back then.

"Do you know why I, a mere alchemist, was able to establish the Medicine King's Secret Sect in Luofu, in this stronghold that worships the Demon Bow as the righteous god? It's because Yufei wasn't the only one who died under the light arrow. It's also because many people questioned why we, as the strongest people of the bountiful land, were never troubled by the demonic spirit, but instead suffered so many misfortunes after believing in the Demon Bow."

Hua Yi shook his head: "You've got the order wrong, Dan Shu."

The blind woman was quite determined, but Hua Yi knew more than her and had a far greater understanding of [hunting] and [abundance].

"Initially, the Demonic Yin Calamity appeared, causing chaos on the Immortal Ship. This led to the subsequent destruction of the Jianmu Tree, the crisis of faith, and even after the repeated wars of abundance, the Immortal Ship revered the Hunting Star God as the main deity. It was not that Lan deceived the people of the Immortal Ship, but rather that the alliance itself abandoned the pursuit of [Abundance] and sought the salvation of [Hunting]."

"You are a short-lived species, why are you willing to believe these ancient books whose authenticity I cannot even verify?"

"Because that's the truth."

It seems that neither side can convince the other.

Dan Shu still wants to try.

At this moment, she realized that the divine lord's strike that killed the enemy without harming the main Luofu formation was definitely not something Jing Yuan could wield. How could the spirit manifested by the demon bow possibly have the power to distinguish friend from foe?

When has the aloof Lan ever cared about such trivial matters?

It must be Hua Yi; this extremely mysterious foreigner in front of us must have done something.

"Over the years, many people with congenital deficiencies have come to the Dan Ding Si for treatment, hoping to change their congenital weakness, walk and run on their own two legs, and live a normal life. I gave those people the opportunity to study the forbidden longevity drugs and give them to those with congenital deficiencies. Even if they immediately experience excruciating pain and memory loss after taking them, no one gave up this hope. Everyone kept the secret together."

“It’s different to tie someone up on the boat first and then ask them if they want to get off than to explain the pros and cons before they get on the boat.” Hua Yi was certainly not persuaded by Dan Shu.

“Extraordinary matters require extraordinary decisions. Even the Dragon Master secretly gave me the marrow essence of a dragon descendant. People’s hearts are restless. If the Demon Bow didn’t have the power of these generals to suppress the immortal ships and let people choose for themselves, I don’t think [Hunting] could easily win against [Abundance].

can you?

The Immortal Boat Alliance follows the Light Arrow to eliminate evil forces, often sacrificing the lives of Cloud Knights to save worlds ruled by the Abundant People.

If we disregard the raging floods and allow the bountiful people to sweep across the universe, the celestial ship can indeed avoid many wars before the flames of war reach us.

Even if the Immortal Ship Alliance were to conquer other realms and plunder resources like those bountiful people, that would be a completely different outcome.

"The Dragon Masters of the Vidyadhara Clan have ulterior motives. They are using you as a pawn, hoping to use the Medicine King's secret teachings to stir up trouble in Luofu and seize the opportunity to rise up."

"So what am I now? An ant about to be crushed by you, or a pawn with some value?"

"I just don't want to see those who have experienced tragedy step by step into the abyss, but before a turning point arrives, the pitiful must first atone for their sins. Compile the list of the Medicine King's secrets and hide it in there. Those who try to overthrow Luofu will be punished, while those who only hope to change Tianque's illness will not suffer."

Hua Yi looked at Dan Shu's face, which was full of complicated expressions.

"When Luofu was in chaos, I suppressed you. Without the leader's orders, it's possible to trace who acted without authorization within the Medicine King's Secret Manual, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and who wanted to contribute to protecting their homeland..."

Hearing him take a step and walk out of the pharmacy, the blind alchemist was stunned.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

“I want you to turn yourself in and tell the judges of the Ten Kings Division what you just said. There’s no need to hide anything. I also want to know the Immortal Ship Alliance’s more specific attitude toward [Abundance]—is this treating you as a pawn?”

"Wait a moment!"

Dan Shu stood up, not to defend himself or exonerate himself, but to take out a box from a very hidden place deep inside the medicine hall.

Upon opening the box, one finds a pill inside, which looks quite extraordinary.

"The Elixir of Consuming Clouds and Holding Dew is my greatest research achievement to date, which can grant longevity to short-lived species."

"I do not need."

"As expected... If General Yaoqing outside can't find another way to deal with Yue Kuang, this pill should be able to help her, but she'll have to choose between [Hunting] and [Abundance]. As for the other girl with the icy pulse, that should be Senior Xianzhou. The Medicine King's secret teachings regard the demonic Yin body as a blessing from the Medicine King. If she takes the Cloud-Eating Dew Pill with her own will, she might be able to achieve immortality."

After hearing Dan Shu's words, Hua Yi smiled.

"There are two people outside, and you only took out one pill. Are you making me choose between two options?"

"...I only have this one Dew-Gathering Pill, which is difficult to replicate."

"Keep it for yourself, and give 1.2 to the Ten Kings Division. As for Feixiao and that senior Immortal Boat Jingliu, I will help them."

Leaving behind his last words, Hua Yi left the medicine shop, leaving his fate to Dan Shu.

Whether she should provide the detailed list of the Medicine King's secrets as instructed and explain the cause and effect to the Ten Kings, or try to escape Luofu with the remaining troops and wait for an opportunity to act, was entirely up to her.

But if things have come to this point, and Dan Shu really wants to escape, it means that what she is pursuing is not the faith struggle between [Abundance] and [Hunting] at all, but only personal gain, and her sins are even more serious.

The Immortal Boat Alliance's attitude towards [Abundance] is complex. The fact that they allowed Bu Lizhan's chief, Hu Lei, to suffer the punishment of the sword tree, effectively surviving, without taking further measures to kill him speaks volumes.

Now, the Ten Kings will face Hua Yi's questions.

Chapter 356 She Made a Decision

"How is it? Have you recovered from your illness?"

Upon seeing Hua Yi emerge, Fei Xiao inquired with concern, while Jing Liu listened intently to his breathing and footsteps, trying to determine what had gone wrong.

"I was diagnosed with psychogenic hypoglycemia. The doctor told me to eat more sweets to improve my mood."

"?"

Fei Xiao was somewhat displeased by his casual demeanor.

"This is no time for jokes? What's going on?!"

"I'm not sick at all. Dan Shu has something he wants to say to me privately. On the contrary, you—you're clearly suffering from Moon Madness and on the verge of death, so why are you acting like nothing's wrong?"

"This is none of your business. You're not a doctor, why are you worrying about it?"

After a pause, Fei Xiao grinned.

"What, are you worried that you won't see me when you go to Yaoqing Immortal Ship? Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to be a good host."

"Then I'll go to Yaoqing again in 50,000 years. Good luck, General Tianji."

"I think I misheard you. How many years did you say?" Fei Xiao's fox ears twitched.

“You might not believe it if I told you.” Hua Yi stroked his chin, looking quite serious. “Actually, I’m a miracle doctor. Whether it’s Dan Shu or Bai Lu, I can cure the diseases they can’t.”

"Haha, I didn't realize that."

27 The fox spirit burst into laughter, taking it as a sufficiently humorous joke. However, Jing Liu, who was standing next to her, remained silent for a moment before interrupting Fei Xiao.

"Hua Yi might really have a way to save you, little fox."

The Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, who were active seven hundred years ago, certainly had the right to regard fox-people with lifespans of three to four hundred years as little guys.

She doesn't seem like the type to joke around.

As Fei Xiao gradually composed himself, he still seemed somewhat hesitant. Hua Yi was in no hurry to prove anything. Through the fluctuations in his destiny, he sensed that a judge he had dealt with before was approaching, and knew that Dan Shu had already made his choice.

"General Tianji can invite Bailu to the Dan Ding Division, which would be a good excuse for her to get some fresh air. The Chiming Clan must be feeling quite stifled right now."

"Does this seem a bit like me interfering in Luofu's internal affairs?"

“It is true that the Ming Clan has a Dragon Master who colludes with foreign enemies and plots something sinister, but this matter has nothing to do with Bai Lu. I vouch for her.”

Fei Xiao raised an eyebrow: "You two know each other?"

"It was just a brief encounter. She had run away from home at the time, and her short legs were striding with great vigor."

Hua Yi is qualified to act as a guarantor.

As long as he speaks, Generals Feixiao, Jingyuan, and Huaiyan will also have their inclinations. Nearly half of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow have reached a consensus, which means they can already represent the alliance in making important decisions.

"Alright, I'll ask Bailu to come over."

Ren Feixiao took out the jade tablet to edit the information, and Hua Yi said to Jing Liu, "Try taking off the blindfold."

"...If the demonic energy takes effect, you must restrain me."

Without further confirmation or hesitation, Jingliu removed her blindfold as Huayi had instructed.

When one falls into the demonic body, these eyes should be blood red, filled with gloom and madness, and may even shed blood tears, swallowed by an even deeper darkness.

But at this moment, it is as clear as a gemstone, without any impurities.

The finishing touch is like the finishing touch; the girl, who was already like a fairy in the moon, finally reveals her beautiful eyes, which have been refined and matured after witnessing countless landscapes.

Thus, she achieved unparalleled elegance and talent.

Immediately, Jingliu did not rush to look around and discern how much the current scenery of Luofu had changed from the vague outline in his memory.

She looked at Hua Yi.

"So this is what you look like."

"Disappointed you? I don't have three heads and six arms, but I still have two eyes, one nose and one mouth—look at Luofu, you haven't been home for seven hundred years, now take a good look."

"..."

This is a high vantage point, offering a commanding view of many places.

The ancient buildings, the Qihuang Department where doctors gathered to study medicine, the central courtyard tree with branches growing from the roots of the Jianmu tree, the pavilion that houses medical books and scrolls, and the ancient Boyue Sea in the distance.

As Jingliu took in the scenes from his memories, his mind, which had been filled with hatred, unconsciously relaxed a little, and then his heart tightened involuntarily.

The demonic entity is about to manifest.

Returning to the familiar place, the sights before my eyes awakened memories in my mind, and for a moment my mind was distracted. The demonic entity should have taken advantage of this momentary lapse and taken away my reason.

But it didn't; it seemed to have disappeared or been locked up tightly.

Thus, Jingliu got a chance to catch his breath.

For a long time in Fan Cage, he returned to nature.

Silently savoring this long-lost feeling of ease, which couldn't be found even in his hazy memories and had to be traced back to a very, very long time ago, Jingliu stopped looking at the scenery of Luofu and stared intently at Huayi.

"stay."

"Ok?"

"Don't take the Star Train anymore. Stay in Luofu, stay in the Immortal Boat Alliance."

Hua Yi looked into Jing Liu's eyes with an air of nonchalance: "Why bother? I've already stated my thoughts."

"The gods in the heavens will decide the winner and the loser. Akivili, who protected the Star Train, has fallen. You are trapped by the train, which means you have voluntarily given up. You might as well stand on the side of the winner."

"Who can say for sure what the future holds? Before coming to Luofu, did you ever think about taking another look at every blade of grass and every tree here?"

"...I can be sure that I will never see the grass and trees of my childhood hometown again."

With Jingliu's mental fortitude, how could he possibly be swayed by Hua Yi's words?

“I was born on the Immortal Ship [Cangcheng], which has long been devoured by the living Star Devouring Realm Rahu. If even the Immortal Ship is in such a state, then the Rainbow Chariot of the Wandering Cloud Heavenly Lord has also been damaged before. You should consider the future.”

"I'm considering this a lot—should I have a cup of Fairy Happy Tea or a Star Taro Boba?"

If it weren't for the long history of Jingliu, everyone would be amused by Hua Yi's 633 at this point.

Rather than hunting, exploring, preserving, or intellect, his current words and actions seem more like walking a path of pleasure.

Before the swordswoman could say anything more, Hua Yi made the decision for her, inserted a straw into the Fairy Happy Tea, and held the cup to the mouth of the mirror streamer, thus silencing her.

"General Feixiao, would you like something to drink?"

"Just how much stuff do you have in your pocket? Is it some kind of miniature world inside? A cup of Taro Boba, that kind of milk tea is a hot seller in Luofu, that's rare."

Someone has come from outside.

It's not Bai Lu, whom Fei Xiao just contacted.

Xueyi, one of the four judges in charge of detention, locking, torture, and interrogation, led a team of Youfu military officers into the territory of Dan Ding Si, ordering the physicians and alchemists in the department to leave and not interfere with the case.

"Why is the judge of the Ten Kings' Court here?" General Tianji was surprised.

"Come and arrest them." Hua Yi also took a cup of Immortal's Happy Tea, letting the sweet drink flow down his throat. "Dan Shu is the master of the Medicine King's secret teachings."

"This name sounds familiar."

"That sounds familiar, that's the person who just treated us."

Fei Xiao finally realized: "You knew all along?!"
