The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 431 - 432: Good Things Keep Happening

Chapter 431 -432: Good Things Keep Happening

After guzzling down the potion in one go, Wang Gang could clearly feel the fierce medicinal power instantly sweeping through his entire body, crazily stimulating his meridians and Dantian.

At that moment, Wang Gang felt his meridians and Dantian burning intensely, the pain was so agonizing it pierced his heart.

Although Lin Qian had mentioned it beforehand, when the true pain struck, he found it somewhat hard to bear.

Upon introspecting his body, Wang Gang could clearly see the purple potion’s power aggressively burrowing into his meridians and Dan Tian Wall, turning into purple flames, and burning violently.

At the same time, he could also feel a faint purple aura, which accompanied the burning of the purple flames, faintly rising and escaping outward from his body.

“Ah!” Wang Gang fell directly to the ground and started rolling around.

Seeing the usually stable Wang Gang unable to bear such severe pain and writhing in agony on the ground made Barret realize the kind of pain one had to endure after consuming this potion.

Nevertheless, Barret understood that to possess greater strength, one inevitably needed to face such pain.

As for the agony Wang Gang would suffer, Zhuge Ming had already made it clear when he handed the potion to him, stating that it would cause immense pain after consumption.

Therefore, Wang Gang’s reaction was not surprising.

“Barret, it seems I heard you mention that in the past, you never resisted the rule of the Black Corner Country. Why have sudden changes occurred?” While Wang Gang was still enduring the pain from the potion, Lin Qian, waiting to see the results before leaving, casually started a conversation with Barret.

Sighing at Lin Qian’s question, Barret said, “Actually, both the Black Corner Clan and our Red Horn Clan belong to the Spiritual Horn Clan, only that one specializes in Body Refinement and the other in Soul Power.”

“In the past, the Black Horn lineage was indeed stronger than our Red Horn lineage, indisputably so. As a stronger lineage, their rule was a natural affair,” Barret said, his face showing a hint of helplessness. “However, a thousand years ago, the Black Corner Emperor’s temperament greatly changed, and his actions became increasingly tyrannical.”

“In the end, the Four Clans could no longer endure it, ultimately leading to this situation.”

After Barret finished speaking, Lin Qian once again fell into deep thought.

The anomaly of the nature’s spiritual energy in the Southern Nine Provinces of the Southern Domain dated back eight thousand years, but the level of spiritual energy in the Ancient Forest World underground has remained unchanged since the beginning.

This drastic change in the temperament of the Black Corner Emperor was very likely related to this event, yet it occurred a thousand years ago, which didn’t align with the timeline.

“To get to the bottom of the truth, one must study the entire Ancient Forest World,” Lin Qian thought silently to himself.

However, the current situation in the Ancient Forest World was somewhat complicated, with the clue of the blood-red aura that devoured spiritual energy appearing within the palace of the Black Corner Country. To understand the true story, one had to enter the palace of the Black Corner Country.

The only path before Lin Qian was to claim the entire Ancient Forest World for himself, turning it into a territory of the Huaxia Empire, and to invade the opposing palace to uncover the events.

“A battle is coming!” Thinking this, Lin Qian felt an unexplained excitement in his heart, yet he could not recklessly summon the Huaxia Army to strike at the Black Corner Country.

Given the vast and unknown conditions of the Ancient Forest World, which Wang Gang described as three times the size of a province compared to the surface’s Southern Domain, it was substantial.

On the road, Lin Qian had already quietly summoned a Reconnaissance Beast, dispersing it in all directions. Their speed was not very fast, and covering the entire Ancient Forest World would take at least three solid months.

If he dispatched Swiftwind, it could be accomplished in half a month.

The whirlwind was too attention-grabbing, and Lin Qian did not yet want to show his edge. It was better to leave the understanding of the entire Ancient Forest World to the Reconnaissance Beast without drawing attention to himself.

“The problem should be related to the Black Corner Emperor.” In the end, Lin Qian reached a conclusion.

After all, the bloody aura was discovered in the palace of the Black Corner Country, and according to Barret, the Black Corner Emperor’s personality had indeed drastically changed, and his actions and style were very different from before.

Putting two extraordinary events together, the possibility of a problem was very high.

Having determined his next direction, Lin Qian closely observed Wang Gang, who was enduring the purging power of the Potion, with his Soul Consciousness enveloping the other at all times.

The disparity in their realms, along with the intense pain that left Wang Gang completely defenseless, allowed Lin Qian to easily sense the condition of Wang Gang’s body and relay it to the Heavenly Art Department.

The Potion, as its name suggests, was used to cleanse and refine the power of the Spirit Transformation Fruit in the bodies of the Human Clan of the Ancient Forest World, allowing them to return to normal.

This newly developed Potion, although analyzed by the Heavenly Art Department and deemed problem-free,

Huasheng stated that if it was used widely without trial, he would definitely not blame His Majesty, but he would certainly want to kill Zhuge Ming, that bastard.

“This old bastard!” Zhuge Ming muttered resentfully as he watched Huasheng take away the good tea from him, but he dared not voice it outright.

As a unit of military strategists, he indeed had considerable combat strength, but the strongest healer in the Huasheng Empire not only had martial capabilities but was also unparalleled in his use of poisons.

The Potion, impervious to all poisons, had been taken by these top members of the Empire, but as long as Huasheng had the opportunity, he could easily drug them.

Who said that poisoning was the only way to incapacitate someone? One could also overdose someone to death.

A powerful dose of medicine, if administered, Zhuge Ming believed he would definitely fall into a deep slumber, and what Huasheng would do then, no one knew.

Refining medicine, naturally, should be left to those who are versed in it; all the potions of the Huaxia Empire originated from Huasheng.

As for how best to achieve the desired effects and results of the medicine, such exquisite matters were left for the Heavenly Art Department to research and solve.

The brain of the Huaxia Empire was the Heavenly Art Department; they were responsible not only for Arrays but also for studying Artifact Refining and medicine refining.

However, when it came to Artifact Refining and medicine refining, the Heavenly Art Department was ultimately theoretical; realizing their ideas still depended on the Fire Department and Medical Department.

Now, based on the information transmitted by Lin Qian, the Heavenly Art Department was analyzing the efficacy of the purging Potion to see if it was truly reliable.

The results were very pleasing; the data on the Potion’s effects were significantly better than expected.

“That old Huasheng really has some tricks up his sleeve,” Zhuge Ming said with a smile as he looked at the data displayed on the Tactical Mirror.

However, as he continued to stare intently at the content on the Tactical Mirror, his expression gradually changed as if he had discovered the door to a new world, filled with continuous surprises, “Your Majesty, this is indeed an unexpected delight.”

“Oh? What sort of unexpected delight? Let’s hear it,” Lin Qian said, knowing that something good must have happened upon hearing Zhuge Ming say so.
