I Have Medicine

Chapter 586 - (Palace Master’s Command) Feed Little Changsheng

Gongyi Tianheng didn’t go hunting outside the city alone.

He brought about three hundred people, all battle slaves and Tianlong Guards who were at the peak stage of the Immortal Realm or above.

That’s right, as Gongyi Tianheng’s strength continuously rose, the Tianlong Guards, who possessed his bloodline, also advanced by leaps and bounds. Although their realms weren’t identical due to individual aptitudes, most of them had already reached the peak stage of the Immortal Realm or higher. As soon as Gongyi Tianheng broke through to the Celestial Realm, all the Tianlong Guards would undoubtedly smoothly advance to the Atomic Realm.

In this regard, even battle slaves who already had many resources couldn’t compare.

Following their young master on his travels, everyone was delighted, each giving their all and doing their utmost to showcase their abilities to their young master.

Some with special five senses could even track the aura of primordial beasts, allowing them to find their tracks more easily and, by combining their strengths, encircle and kill them.

For Gongyi Tianheng, whose realm was at the peak of the Ascendant Realm, his hunting targets were third-level primordial beasts comparable to those in the Celestial Realm.

Gongyi Tianheng’s gaze swept forward, his eyes slightly deep. “Go!”

All his subordinates replied, “Yes, Young Master!”

The subordinates who remained in the city weren’t idle either. Some were searching various businesses in Eight Desolations City to purchase primordial beast cores, while others were communicating with the commanders and warriors of Eight Desolations City. In the borderlands, there were countless savage beasts and primordial beasts. Although the highest level here was only fourth-level primordial beasts, Eight Desolations City had been stationed for so many years, so they might not be without some stock of third-level primordial beast cores. The people most likely to possess such stock were those with status and fighting prowess in the city.

In addition to those in the barracks, they would also contact people in the City Lord’s Mansion.

There was a high possibility that the top powerhouses in the city also had reserves!

Thus, everyone became busy.

Since Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo had helped Eight Desolations City so much, reducing their losses significantly, and wanted to exchange for primordial beast cores at a fair price… they would surely give them this much face.

Gu Zuo, staying in the Medicine Celestial Grand Hall, wasn’t just researching Earth-Level Medicines. After all, once it reached Earth-Level, 99% of the required medicinal materials were spirit herbs, not to mention that some essential main ingredients were particularly difficult to find. Furthermore, the number of pills formed after refining was much smaller—usually a maximum of three, and often not even one could be produced, showing how difficult the refining process was.

In such circumstances, even with prescriptions in hand and advanced techniques, Gu Zuo had very few main ingredients, and the Wei Yuan Pills hadn’t been refined yet… it was truly a case of “a clever housewife cannot cook without rice.”

Therefore, after a brief study, Gu Zuo’s main energy was focused on refining some pure medicinal liquid for his newly hatched son.

What he chose was a kind of medicinal liquid specifically for replenishing energy, processed by various methods. It wasn’t the kind of liquid formed before refining pills, but rather a completely refined product, distinctly different from pills… it could be called a medicinal potion.

However, this medicinal potion wasn’t some bitter concoction. Instead, it emitted a rich, clear fragrance, and its quality was flawless, with no impurities whatsoever.

This had taken Gu Zuo a considerable amount of effort.

Because this prescription was originally developed by Gu Zuo himself, having no relation to any inheritance. What did it represent? Perhaps, it was his profound love for his son.

Gu Zuo looked at the bowl of milky white, translucent liquid in front of him and nervously brought it close to Little Changsheng.

He wondered if Little Changsheng would actually drink it…

Fortunately, Little Changsheng was quite considerate of Gu Zuo. The moment the bowl of medicinal liquid was brought before him, his little nose twitched, and then he opened his dark, crystal-clear eyes.

Then, Little Changsheng gave Gu Zuo a particularly adorable smile: “Ah, ah!”

Gu Zuo’s gaze also carried a trace of “paternal love” he himself wasn’t aware of. Immediately, he brought the bowl to Little Changsheng’s mouth.

Little Changsheng… stuck out his tongue and licked.

Lick, can’t reach!!!

Then, an earth-shattering cry erupted.

Gu Zuo was startled.

He immediately put the bowl aside, picked up Little Changsheng, and walked back and forth in the hall. Normally, he wasn’t a man of few words and was quite good at communicating with people, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, he was sweating profusely, completely at a loss as to how to calm Little Changsheng down!

Truly…

Speechless with emotion.

Gu Zuo was distraught, coaxing and kissing Little Changsheng for a long while before Little Changsheng finally sniffled, blinked his eyes, and shed the last tear.

At this moment, Gu Zuo let out a long sigh of relief.

He remembered, wasn’t the root of this problem that he had forgotten how to feed the child earlier? A hungry child who can’t get food will cry to high heaven—there’s no difference between modern times and this world in that regard!

Gu Zuo learned from the experience and quickly took out a small spoon. He first picked up Little Changsheng, let him lean against his chest, then spooned up the medicinal liquid one spoonful at a time, bringing it to Little Changsheng’s mouth to feed him. Only then did Little Changsheng finally purse his lips and drink all the medicinal liquid, mouthful by mouthful.

It was as if he had been granted a general pardon…

However, fortunately, Gu Zuo checked Little Changsheng’s body after he finished the medicinal liquid and found that his aura was still pure and there were no signs of discomfort, which put his mind at ease.

In any case, feeding was basically not a problem.

Little Changsheng was also extremely well-behaved, unlike ordinary infants who constantly wailed. Perhaps because he was conceived from a stone egg, he could be said to be naturally formed by heaven and earth, possessing the bloodlines of both parents. Most of the time, he was extremely sensible. After being full, he closed his eyes with Gu Zuo’s rocking and, when placed on the stone bed, didn’t have that feeling of needing parental companionship or being enveloped by familiar scents to sleep peacefully.

Each of his breaths was even, and when Gu Zuo stood close to observe, he could even notice a rhythm in his breathing, as if it conformed to some kind of natural creation in heaven and earth, allowing the energy within Little Changsheng’s body to continuously strengthen with each breath… This was clearly cultivation.

Gu Zuo watched for a while, feeling even more reassured.

When Little Changsheng grew a bit older, he would definitely thoroughly discuss with his elder brother what martial arts to teach him. As for Little Changsheng’s psychic power, he would also observe it frequently and help him regulate it.

Perhaps, in the future, even if Little Changsheng couldn’t refine medicine, he could still cultivate both spirit and martial arts—at that time, neither extremely powerful Pill Kings and Pill Emperors, nor any peak martial cultivators, would be his match!

About four or five days later, Gongyi Tianheng returned.

This time, he brought back over ten primordial beast carcasses, though the grade of these carcasses wasn’t high. They were indeed all third-level primordial beasts, and the beast cores from them could only refine Wei Yuan Pills that lasted the shortest amount of time.

Gu Zuo left Little Changsheng in the main hall and sealed it.

Because he had completely refined the Medicine Celestial Grand Hall, even Ling Su, the spirit of the divine weapon, could not enter the restricted area without Gu Zuo’s permission.

Therefore, Little Changsheng was extremely safe staying there.

Afterward, Gu Zuo went to meet Gongyi Tianheng, whom he sensed was very close to Eight Desolations City.

Indeed, when Gu Zuo arrived at the city gate, he saw a majestic team of several hundred people, covered in blood qi, galloping together.

The person at the head had flowing robes, a handsome appearance, a brilliant demeanor, and an air of noble elegance from head to toe, distinctly different from others.

This person was precisely Gongyi Tianheng—even after many days of hunting, he showed no sign of disheveledness.

Upon their return, the city gates of Eight Desolations City opened wide, letting the people in.

Gongyi Tianheng swept his hand, and his subordinates behind him released four or five primordial beast carcasses, piling them on the ground with a resounding thud.

At this moment, Long Yi loudly proclaimed, “Recently, Young Master hunted some wild game in the borderlands. We share it here with all fellow comrades!”

Those at the city gate were mostly defending warriors. Previously, they had fought alongside Gongyi Tianheng, and it was perfectly acceptable for them to address each other as “comrades.”

The primordial beast carcasses piled up like mountains, their terrifying aura emanating, clearly showing that these were indeed the remains of third-level primordial beasts! As for third-level primordial beasts… most of the warriors here had barely even seen them, let alone eaten them.

Upon hearing that this Guardian was going to share these primordial beast carcasses, everyone was overjoyed. Wu Zhenhuang, the City Lord of Eight Desolations City, immediately waved his hand, ordering the cooks to prepare a feast so that all the warriors and even the martial arts practitioners in the city could eat meat and drink soup!

It was going to be another lively gathering.

At this moment, Gongyi Tianheng dismounted his wild beast and walked up to Gu Zuo.

Gu Zuo met his big brother’s gaze, smiled brightly, and then whispered, “Big Brother, don’t worry, Little Changsheng is doing very well.”

Gongyi Tianheng’s brows relaxed. “You’ve worked hard, Ah Zuo.”

Gu Zuo replied, “What hard work? This is what I’m good at anyway.”

Before long, the entire group entered the City Lord’s Mansion.

Wu Zhenhuang ordered the most essential parts of the third-level primordial beasts to be brought and, after cooking, served them to Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng. The energy within was rich, and the people of the City Lord’s Mansion would feel full after consuming only a small amount.

Of course, everyone wasn’t there just to eat their fill. It was simply that their relationship was excellent now, and they were using this meal to further their bond.

Moreover, the people in the City Lord’s Mansion probably knew that this new Guardian would likely not stay here for long.

And so it was.

The very next day, the teleportation array brought someone with a single horn on his head, a Celestial Realm expert with a powerful aura.

By his appearance, he was also an battle slave.

Although Eight Desolations City had suffered at the hands of aliens, they didn’t harbor enmity towards every single foreign race. Otherwise, the battle slaves Gongyi Tianheng brought would not have been accepted to fight alongside them.

Therefore, Wu Zhenhuang warmly welcomed this person.

This battle slave brought a command.

The Palace Master of the Blood Transformation Palace had ordered that his disciple, Gongyi Tianheng, had performed exceptionally well in Eight Desolations City and could now return to submit his mission.
