Chapter 135: The Struggle for the Pill Tower 1
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
Cleansing Toxin Pill.
A pill that could cleanse many toxins.
In the cultivation world, it did not amount to much of a spirit pill.
But it was said that the formula for the Cleansing Toxin Pill held by this Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Black Tower, Xu Zhiyuan, was different from elsewhere.
Not only could it neutralize many common poisoned states, it also had the effect of clearing pill toxins.
So whenever Xu Zhiyuan publicly refined Cleansing Toxin Pills, most of the cultivators who came to study would flock to him by reputation.
Qingkong was no exception.
But Lin Qi was not interested.
After all, the Ninefold True Fire he cultivated inherently possessed the effect of clearing all pill toxins.
He would not dare claim immunity to every poison, but at the very least he was impervious to a myriad of toxins.
And he always felt that Qingkong was far too enthusiastic toward him, calling him Senior Brother this and Senior Brother that.
Clearly, when Qingkong addressed other Foundation Establishment cultivators, he called them Elder So-and-So.
On what basis did he only call him Senior Brother upon seeing him?
After all, he, Lin Qi, was also Foundation Establishment.
Even if Qingkong did not know his identity as an Inspector, calling him Elder Lin Qi —
he could bear it.
“Senior Brother Lin, you do not want to go?”
Qingkong saw Lin Qi’s refusal and immediately became somewhat dejected.
“Mm, I am not very interested in pills of the Qi Refining level.”
“And I have other matters later.”
Lin Qi said lightly. “You should not be too absorbed in pill-refining arts either. Breaking through to Foundation Establishment sooner is the Righteous Path.”
“I understand.”
Qingkong said sullenly, lowering his head, unhappily staring at the tip of his shoe.
After a pause, he raised his head cheerfully again.
“Senior Brother Lin, I will listen to you. Then I will not go either. Weren’t you going to handle something? I will accompany you.”
“No need.”
Lin Qi shook his head and stepped away.
Watching Lin Qi leave coldly, Qingkong’s large eyes suddenly filled with glistening tears, on the verge of weeping, pitiful and delicate.
Even the strands of his hair seemed to grieve along with him, fluttering nimbly, as if wanting to comfort Qingkong.
“Little Qing, why did you follow me out again!”
A wisp of black hair slid past Qingkong’s eyes. Qingkong hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, looking around guiltily, before lowering his head and scolding the strand of hair in his palm.
The strand of hair stood upright. On closer look, it was no hair at all, but clearly a green snake as thin as a hair.
At this moment it flicked its tongue, looking at Qingkong, transmitting its voice with a hiss.
“Qingkong, why don’t you just switch to someone else.”
“This Senior Brother Lin of yours is obviously the type wholly devoted to cultivation.”
“That type is doomed to die alone.”
“He will not want to form a Dao Companion with anyone.”
The originally aggrieved Qingkong immediately became flustered and furious, stammering out a retort.
