Chapter 116
Hua Jiunan’s question actually stumped Hu Qingshan, despite the depth of his family learning.
He thought it over for a while before answering.
“Young master physician, I really can’t say for sure.”
“That’s because only Yin deities who guard a region can obtain an Incense-Fire Body.”
“I’ve honestly never heard of a situation like Brother Hui’s.”
Chen Daji reached out and rubbed Old Sixth Hui’s arm.
“Whoa, it’s even warm!”
“Soft, too. Feels just like the real thing!”
“Only problem is there’s too much hair!”
The moment Chen Daji finished speaking, he realized things were about to go bad and hurriedly clapped a hand over his foul mouth.
Luckily, he moved fast enough-one step quicker than Old Sixth Hui’s hand as it grabbed a fistful of dirt.
Because his own hand was covering his mouth, Chen Daji’s voice came out muffled.
“Sixth Brother Hui, you can’t be like that!”
“I was just curious what the difference is between this thing and a real one!”
Old Sixth Hui failed to get him and was filled with bitter resentment.
Next time he got the chance, he would definitely stuff a huge mouthful into this brat!
Watching the two of them mess around, Hu Qingshan shook his head with a soft laugh.
“An Incense-Fire Body can gather and disperse at will.”
“As long as there is enough merit, it fears no injury.”
“However, every time it is scattered and reformed, the amount of merit power consumed is astonishing.”
“So you must be extremely careful!”
Chen Daji was delighted when he heard that.
“Holy crap, it’s that overpowered?! Sixth Brother, you’re gonna be awesome from now on!”
“When you eat hot pot, you won’t need chopsticks. You can just reach in and fish stuff out with your hands!”
“When you take a dump, you won’t need toilet paper. Just wipe with your hand!”
“After you’re done wiping, chop the hand off with a crack, swap in a new one, and you’re good!”
Hua Jiunan could no longer endure Chen Daji’s bizarre imagination. He grabbed the hand covering Chen Daji’s mouth and yanked it away.
“Sixth Brother, now!”
In that split second, a huge handful of black dirt was shoved into Chen Daji’s mouth.
And so, aside from that guy’s constant retching, the world finally fell quiet…
Just then, a miserable voice suddenly came from the ground-desolate, weak, and helpless.
“Big Brothers, if you’re done with all that, could you spare a moment to look at me?”
“I feel like if I get rescued in time, I might still have a chance…”
Only then did Hua Jiunan remember Eighth Master Chang, whom he had pressed down into the ground.
At this moment, Eighth Master really looked far too pitiful.
He had suffered the backlash of the Five Thunder Shattering Firmament Righteous Method and been flattened by its force.
He looked exactly like an earthworm that had been stepped on by a stampede of elephants.
Aside from his head, the rest of him was almost too terrible to look at…
While Hua Jiunan inwardly marveled at Eighth Master Chang’s tenacious vitality, he asked weakly,
“Eighth Master, how… how should I help you?”
Though his medical skills were superb, faced with such a tragic sight, he still had no idea where to begin.
Fortunately, Eighth Master Chang already had a plan. His eyes involuntarily drifted toward the Tiger Soul Dragon-Transporting Pill in Old Sixth Hui’s hand.
“Half of it… oh no, one-third would be enough to heal my ‘serious injuries’…”
Hu Qingshan laughed and scolded him.
“Old Eighth, stop playing pitiful in front of the young master physician.”
“For that little injury of yours, the pills in this old man’s hand are more than enough!”
As the Hu Family Patriarch spoke, he took out a pill and tossed it to Eighth Master Chang.
Eighth Master Chang had no choice but to swallow it directly.
However, the look he gave Hu Qingshan was even more resentful than that of a widow who had guarded an empty room for ten years.
Despite the immense dissatisfaction he felt toward Hu Qingshan, our Eighth Master Chang would absolutely never say it aloud.
After all, his guiding principle as a “snake” was to never offend anyone stronger than himself.
Unless… there was no unless!
Chen Daji, who had finally finished spitting out all the dirt, staggered over to Eighth Master Chang’s side.
“Eighth Master, if you wanted the Tiger Soul Dragon-Transporting Pill, why didn’t you just tell my Big Brother directly?”
“When he was making the medicine, weren’t the two of us off to the side playing marbles?”
“You even won several packs of spicy strips from me!”
Eighth Master Chang sounded listless.
Whether it was because his vital energy had been injured, or because he hadn’t gotten what he wanted, no one could tell.
“Something that precious… if I haven’t made a contribution, how would I dare open my mouth and ask for it?”
“If my family’s Big Brother found out, wouldn’t he skin me alive?”
“Sigh. What a waste of such a good opportunity…”
Chen Daji burst out laughing. “Eighth Master, let me tell you, this doesn’t count as making a contribution either.”
Eighth Master Chang was unconvinced. “Why not?”
Chen Daji’s smile turned especially “sinister.”
“Because your injury wasn’t caused by the enemy.”
“According to modern battlefield rules, this is called a ‘non-combat casualty.’ It’s not meritorious service.”
“At most, it counts as a workplace injury. You’d get paid medical leave.”
Eighth Master Chang drooped even more after hearing that.
“Sigh. I never went to school. How would I understand all these twists and turns?”
“Made me lie here for half a day for nothing…”
As he spoke, Eighth Master Chang rapidly returned to his original shape like a balloon being inflated.
