Chapter 284: Pill Testing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Kong Rui suddenly had an idea. “Could it be that someone was using Stone to test the medicine?”

Otherwise, even if it was a replica, it would probably have cost a lot of manpower and money. How could the Li family be walling to spend so much effort on a servant?

The old man nodded slightly. “You’re thinking the same thing as me.”

“Looks like someone was planning to refine the Soul Return Pill, but the effect…” The old man glanced at Stone, who still had his head lowered.

Kong Rui also looked over and saw that Stone looked lifeless, like a dead person.

“Then Stone is currently…” Although Kong Rui had no pity for Stone, it would be terrifying if more people like Stone appeared!

“When he’s sober, he’ll be a cripple who can’t move.” The old man gestured with his chin as he said, “When he’s delirious, he’ll be a living dead and won’t feel any pain!”

Kong Rui’s expression changed slightly. “Mentor, do you think there wall be more people like Stone in the imperial capital?”

The old man tapped his tobacco pouch and pondered for a moment before saying, “1 don’t know how many, but there will definitely be more.”

“How can we distinguish such people?” Kong Rui asked anxiously.

In any case, the existence of these people made Kong Rui feel uneasy.

The old man looked at Kong Rui meaningfully, but he wasn’t in a hurry to answer.

He came to Stone’s side again and tapped the acupuncture point on the top of Stone’s head with the smoke pot. Then, he said to Kong Rui, “Ask what you want to ask now!”

After Stone woke up, he looked at Kong Rui in confusion.

After a while, he seemed to recognize the person in front of him. “You are… I’ve seen you before…”

“But where?” Stone frowned, as if he had lost his memory. Then, he slowly looked down at his limbs. “Why is my body like this?”

“We chatted just now. Do you still remember?” Kong Rui asked Stone anxiously. She didn’t want all her efforts just now to be in vain!

Stone looked at Kong Rui in confusion. After thinking hard for a while, he finally seemed to remember.

He nodded slightly. “You asked me a question just now. What was it?”

Kong Rui took a deep breath and asked the question again. “Do you still remember what special quest you were going to carry out?”

Stone’s frown deepened, and his expression became distorted.

Kong Rui was worried that Stone would faint again. Just as she was about to ask the old man, Stone suddenly said, “1 remember!”

Kong Rui immediately shut her mouth, for fear that she would interrupt Stone’s thoughts.

Stone seemed to want to move his arm, but after looking at his immobile right arm, he sighed. “1 remember that the boss only wanted us to gather at the ancestral hall at night. He didn’t tell us what we were going to do.”

“But I heard from Xiao Xi that there were some ghostly sounds in the ancestral hall in the middle of the night a few days ago. The elders didn’t allow us to go over, so I don’t know what happened.”

“Then do you remember what happened after that? Did you go to the ancestral hall? Why were you sent here? Can you still remember these things?” Kong Rui asked anxiously while trying her best not to shake Stone.

“Have you seen anything strange? For example, a spirit beast?” Kong Rui asked tentatively.

Stone frowned even more, as if puzzled by Kong Rui’s question.

Suddenly, Stone’s expression changed, as if he remembered something.

He opened his mouth and said, “Spirit beast! Yes! There were spirit beasts! Two spirit beasts! Very terrifying spirit beasts!”

“Where did you see them? What did they look like? What did you do?” Kong Rui sounded even more excited and wanted to get more information from Stone..
