Upon smelling the familiar scent, Tian Lan became even more frenzied, crying out, "The sacred medicine! My sacred medicine! This is mine!!"
Qian Fugui pinched his nose. "It stinks! It smells like filthy foot poop. I have a bold guess: could this meatball have been stepped on by Master Shikong himself?"
Tian Lan's eyes were bloodshot. "How did you know? Are you also a follower of Master Shikong?"
Qian Fugui: "..."
Goodness, she really stepped in poop balls, and she still ate them even though she knew it.
"Ugh..." Qian Fugui hugged the table and dry heaved. "I feel like throwing up just from the smell of this. Ugh, ugh, ugh."
"I gave it a nice name: Old Phlegm Foot Stomping on Sauerkraut Ball, ugh!"
Tian Lan took a deep breath. "It doesn't smell bad at all. This is Master Shi Kong's unique fragrance. What do you mortals know?"
Qian Fugui was greatly impressed. "I admire a warrior like you. Aren't you afraid of getting athlete's foot from eating this? If your stomach knew it would suffer such a calamity because of you, it would rather be dead."
Tian Lan shouted desperately, "Shut up! The sacred medicine doesn't smell bad, it doesn't smell bad at all!"
She turned to Lin Xi and shouted, "Little girl, give me back the sacred medicine! Give me back the sacred medicine!"
"Okay, I'll give it back to you now." Lin Xi walked towards her step by step with the box in her hand.
Qu Feng asked in confusion, "Master, what are you going to do?"
Lin Xi sneered, "Let your mother see for herself what this pill is. She'll never forget it."
The alluring scent drew ever closer. Tian Lan pushed Qu Feng's hand away, lunged at the black box, and took a deep breath.
"The holy medicine, my favorite holy medicine."
As she reached for the pills, Lin Xi stopped her hands, saying, "Don't rush."
Tian Lan was very anxious. "I want to eat. Give me the medicine."
He looked exactly like someone experiencing drug withdrawal, and everyone present sensed that something was wrong.
Is Master Shikong's foot odor really that strong?
Lin Xi knocked over the box, and dark pills fell to the ground.
Tian Lan bent down to pick it up, but Lin Xi lifted one of her feet and crushed the pills, making the stench even stronger.
The stench of sourness mixed with the smell of death made it feel like being in a giant septic tank, so foul it was suffocating.
"Ahhh!!" Tian Lan exclaimed, her mouth agape. "The holy medicine, my holy medicine!"
She quickly moved her foot away, and white maggots crawled out, their dense swarms wriggling, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
Tian Lan's feet were covered in maggots, and she screamed in terror, "Aaaaaah!!!"
Qu Feng instinctively wanted to save the person, but stopped when he saw the maggots all over the ground.
There's really nowhere to step here.
Qu Feng had no choice but to ask the master next to him for help, "My mother..."
Lin Xi tossed out a talisman, which automatically burned upon hitting the ground. In the blink of an eye, all the white maggots disappeared, and the stench was gone too.
Qian Fugui gasped for breath, "Oh my god, I'm finally alive! That was terrifying!"
Tian Lan collapsed to the ground, clearly terrified.
Qu Feng stood a meter away from her. "Mom, are you alright?"
"There are worms! There are actually worms!" Tian Lan muttered to herself, "How could there be worms in the sacred medicine bestowed by Master Shikong?"
She stared intently at Lin Xi. "Little girl, was this your doing?"
Qu Feng rubbed his temples. "Mom, why are you still so stubborn? Master Shikong is a fraud! A big fraud!"
“No, no…” Tian Lan was greatly shocked. She stammered in disbelief, “Master Shi Kong is not a fraud.”
Lin Xi said calmly, "You still don't believe that so-called sorcerer is a fraud? What decent person would give you stinky Gu worms to eat?"
Tian Lan suddenly looked up, "Gu worms!"
Lin Xi glanced at her and said, "The maggots inside are the simplest kind of insect poison, ghostly things cultivated from human and animal excrement."
"If you keep eating it, the worms will gradually eat away at your brain."
Tian Lan couldn't help but gag; she tried to vomit, but nothing came out.
Qu Feng was very worried. "Master, my mother took two pills. Is she alright?"
Lin Xi grabbed Tian Lan's fingers, "It's just an ordinary insect gu, it doesn't have this much power."
These maggots have a very similar aura to the previous lust-inducing gu, but the insect gu is not as powerful as the lust-inducing gu.
The person who cast the Gu poison used these people as test subjects. Tian Lan ate the Gu poison twice, and her admiration for Master Shi Kong grew even stronger.
Are they after money or people?
If he were a human, this Master Shikong would have rather unusual tastes; not only does he enjoy kneading dumplings with his feet, but he also has a fondness for older women.
Lin Xi pulled out a long silver needle.
Tian Lan was terrified and desperately shrank back, crying, "I was wrong, please don't stab me..."
Before she could finish speaking, a silver needle pierced her chest, causing Tian Lan excruciating pain in her heart and making her feel nauseous.
"Ugh..."
She braced herself with her hands on the ground and vomited everything in her stomach.
A maggot more than a meter long crawled out from the mess of food scraps.
Lin Xi pierced the maggot's head with a single needle.
The snake lay dead on the ground.
Tian Lan kept backing away, "Worms, I have worms in my stomach!"
Lin Xi pinched her nose and walked a little further away. "Clean up the mess on the ground."
Qu Feng nodded hurriedly, "Master, I'll clean it up right away. Is my mother alright now?"
"It's nothing, it's just a worm. At most, it will lose a few years of its lifespan, but it won't die."
Lin Xi added, "She didn't have many years left to live, and she would soon have fulfilled her wish and gone to see Yama, the King of Hell."
Tian Lan finally panicked. She scrambled over and clung tightly to Lin Xi's leg, pleading, "Master, save me, please save me..."
Lin Xi pushed her hand away, "Your lifespan has been eaten by the worm, even the gods can't help you. Go back and rest well, nourish your soul and try to be reincarnated as soon as possible."
