Justice of Hidden Heaven - C231

After he drank the bowl of green liquid, it stuck to his stomach like maggots sticking to his intestines. Moreover, it was slowly wiggling like a living creature.

Suddenly, after sensing the green liquid, a strand of God Power of Death came over. With just a slight touch, more than half of the green liquid was engulfed by the God Power of Death and immediately evaporated.

This was not Lin Xin purposely activating the Death God power, but rather the green liquid was clearly a living thing. The Death God power sensed the presence of an external object and automatically protected its master, extinguishing its life force.

Lin Qi used all of his strength to quickly suppress the Death God Force.

He could tell that the green liquid would not harm him at the moment, and it would not harm him even if it were stored in his body. If he were to be completely strangled by the Death God power, the old witch might notice and make things difficult for him.

Next, he tossed the green liquid to the back of his mind and took advantage of Cheng Chen’s sleeping time to retrieve a bunch of elixirs from the soul hole. He then began to recuperate his body, hoping to heal his injuries as soon as possible.

However, his injuries were too severe. Not only his physical body, but his soul had also suffered from wounds that were difficult to recover from. For a short period of time, he shouldn’t even think about returning to his peak condition.

Even if one healed their physical body, they could only use sword skills in battle. As for other techniques, they simply could not be used without the control of soul force.

If not for the old witch, he might not have been in a rush, but now that someone had placed a knife against his neck, he had to return to his peak state as soon as possible.

Luckily, inside his soul cave, there were countless spirit pills and herbs. Otherwise, if this kind of injury was delayed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Cheng Chen slept soundly and was not affected in the slightest. Early the next morning, Cheng Chen opened her eyes and rubbed her eyes. When she looked up, she was shocked to see that Lin Xin had been staring at her the entire time.

“You haven’t slept all night?” Cheng Chen exclaimed.

Lin Qi smiled but did not say anything. He raised his hand to point at his thigh, a helpless look on his face.

“Ah …” “My apologies, my apologies for asking a wounded person like you to be my pillow.”

The clothes on Lin Xing’s thigh were deeply sunken in. The outline of his face was faintly discernible. Cheng Chen immediately understood. Her face was filled with guilt and embarrassment.

“It’s fine, I want to go for a walk.” Lin Qi chuckled. He didn’t seem to mind at all.

“You …”

Cheng Chen was about to stop him when he saw Lin Xing slowly stand up. His mouth suddenly gaped open.

Yesterday, he was still on the verge of death, but today, he was able to walk. Cheng Chen had an expression of disbelief.

In fact, after last night’s nourishment, his body could barely move, so walking was not a problem.

Lin Qi lifted the curtain of the carriage and his eyes peeked out. He saw two rows of guards with sabers walking in front of him. The old witch stood around the carriage, her feet three inches off the ground. She was walking in the air.

The old witch was the first to notice Lin Qi stepping out of the carriage. She glanced at him with a strange glint in her eyes. However, she did not question him and continued to maintain a nonchalant attitude towards him.

With Lin Qi’s current physical strength, he could jump off the carriage, walk around and stretch his limbs, but he did not choose to do so. Instead, he sat cross-legged outside the carriage and observed his surroundings like a young master who came to play.

This kind of life continued all the way until the sixth day.

Night had fallen, and the moon was bright and the stars were thin.

That night, the old witch was uncharacteristically gentle. She had actually ordered Cheng Chen and her saber-armed guards to stop and rest for the night before departing tomorrow morning.

The reason for this was that he was exhausted from the days of constant travel, so he should have stopped to rest.

However, no one was grateful to her. It was impossible for her to be so kind as to guess what she was up to.

In fact, the group of guards with sabers had the lowest cultivations among them. Although they had been travelling for days, they didn’t feel the slightest tiredness when they walked at such a speed.

Cheng Chen also walked down from the carriage. She ordered people to light up two bonfires on the ground, and sat down with Lin Xing not far away from the bonfire.

At this moment, the old witch came back with another bowl of green liquid. She walked up to Lin Qi and looked at him with her ghastly white eyes.

“Time to drink the medicine.”

Lin Qi accepted it indifferently. Under the gaze of the old witch, he drank it all in one gulp without even frowning.

Cheng Chen couldn’t bear it any longer. She sat beside Lin Xing with a look of guilt and sorrow on her face.

For the past six days, after drinking three bowls of this green liquid every day, Lin Xing had developed a deep admiration for the old witch, so why would he not feel tired?

He had once secretly observed the old witch brewing medicine, but the old witch’s methods were too strange. He took out a large pile of items from his soul hole and placed it in a bowl. Following that, the clear water instantly turned green and bubbled.

The old witch cast a sidelong glance at Lin Qi, seeing that he had finished drinking the entire bowl of green liquid, she then returned to the bowl and turned to leave.

“Old witch, stop.” Cheng Chen shouted.

Hearing this, the old witch turned around and looked at her, asking, “What orders does little master have?”

Cheng Chen impatiently said, “You asked me to come with you to celebrate the Dai Family’s Patriarch’s birthday. I’ve already promised you, but why did you order a daily journey of 50 miles per day? With such a slow speed, how many years would it take for us to reach the Dai Family’s territory?”
