[Congratulations, host! I knew you were destined for great things!]
As System Xiao Wang spoke, colorful fireworks lit up the system page, celebrating Xu Jinhuan's brilliant completion of another difficult task.
Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Little Wang, now is not the time to celebrate. We must guard against arrogance and impetuosity. It's not too late to celebrate after we've killed that fake Heavenly Dao."
Upon hearing Xu Jinhuan's words, System Xiao Wang immediately and obediently agreed.
[Okay, host. I'll start another thread on the system forum to see if the system knows anything about this.]
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded, then praised Xiao Wang a few more times before turning his attention back to the system page.
The red and black warning sign, which indicated severe high temperatures, had changed color, turning from red and black to red.
Meanwhile, the weather forecast recorded a high of 59 degrees Celsius for today, but after Xu Jinhuan refreshed the page, it changed to a high of 49 degrees Celsius, indicating that everything was moving in a positive direction.
After closing the system page, Xu Jinhuan turned his gaze towards the capital city.
Judging from the actions of the pseudo-Heavenly Dao just now, although he cares about Xu Youyou, he doesn't care that much. This shows that for the Heavenly Dao, there are people more important than Xu Youyou.
The choice is obvious; there's a 99% chance it's the male lead, Lei Tingjun.
Therefore, if Xu Jinhuan wants to deal with that false Heavenly Dao, he must first kill Lei Tingjun.
Without seeing Lei Tingjun's current condition firsthand, Xu Jinhuan couldn't estimate the chances of success after the operation, so she planned to go to the capital herself once the exiled team was settled.
If Xu Jinhuan's previous guess was correct, Zhou Zhou was still in the capital at this time, and that commotion was also caused by him. If the two of them joined forces, their chances of winning would be even greater.
Xu Jinhuan pondered with a deep look in his eyes.
[Host, good news! I just logged onto the system forum and found someone selling Loyalty Pills to me at a great price—two for every thousand points!]
The chattering voice of System Xiao Wang rang in Xu Jinhuan's head.
As if worried that Xu Jinhuan would feel it wasn't worth it, Xiao Wang earnestly explained.
[Host, these Loyalty Pills are not sold in the system shop. They are only awarded as a reward for completing tasks, so they are rarely circulated. Two pills for a thousand points are really not expensive.]
I saw it as soon as that person posted it; if I hadn't reacted quickly and communicated with them, someone else would have snatched it.
Xu Jinhuan smiled helplessly, "Of course I know the value of this Loyalty Pill. I just completed a mission and got a thousand points, so you can use it to exchange for me."
Seeing that the host trusted him, System Xiao Wang happily went to trade with other systems and soon returned with two new Loyalty Pills via system mail.
Xu Jinhuan looked at the small pill in his hand that was faintly glowing with golden light, and then glanced at his underlings, as if pondering which one to give the pill to in order to maximize their benefit.
After thinking for a while, Xu Jinhuan made up her mind. Her first choice was Xie Guangbai, a medical talent.
With a hint of cunning in her smile, Xu Jinhuan found Xie Guangbai, whom she had arranged to deal with his emotions alone.
"Guangbai, I need to talk to you." Xu Jinhuan said gently, looking at Xie Guangbai, whose emotions had returned to normal.
Xie Guangbai nodded and casually asked, "Master, is someone suffering from heatstroke and needs me to prepare medicine?"
Xu Jinhuan smiled and shook his head. "No, I have something good for you."
After saying that, Xu Jinhuan flipped her hand over, and a small black pill appeared in her palm. The pill had a golden light that ordinary people could not see. She handed the pill to Xie Guangbai.
There were two reasons why Xu Jinhuan sought out Xie Guangbai first. First, she wanted to ask Xie Guangbai if he could figure out how to prepare the pill.
Furthermore, if Xie Guangbai can't figure it out, he can take the pill first and then try again. What if he suddenly understands everything?
Under Xu Jinhuan's expectant gaze, Xie Guangbai blankly accepted the ordinary black pill that he saw as his own.
He first smelled it, then picked off a little bit and tasted it, his narrow eyes constantly flashing with doubt.
"Master, this pill is very strange. Not only does it taste strange, but the medicinal ingredients used are also strange. They all seem to be medicinal ingredients I have never seen before. What kind of illness is this medicine for?"
Xu Jinhuan looked at Xie Guangbai, who was bursting with curiosity, smiled helplessly, and casually pointed to the sky.
"This thing was given to me by the higher-ups. It can enhance a user's potential ability and can be continuously upgraded."
I was thinking of letting you try to replicate it; if you could replicate it to two or three tenths of its original quality, that would be quite impressive.
Upon hearing this, Xie Guangbai looked at the inconspicuous little pill in his hand in surprise. How could such a small pill have such great power?
However, upon further reflection, he realized that since his boss claimed it was given by a deity, it was only natural that it had such an effect.
"Master, Guangbai has a favor to ask," Xie Guangbai said after bowing solemnly.
Xu Jinhuan immediately understood and guessed what Xie Guangbai was about to say.
Sure enough, Xie Guangbai stood up and said seriously, "Master, I wonder if I have the honor of receiving this pill to help my medical skills?"
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Xie Guangbai immediately knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I, Guangbai, am fortunate to have this opportunity. I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to healing and killing for you."
After hearing the last sentence, Xu Jinhuan twitched his lips speechlessly and thought to himself.
Xie Guangbai, do you want to listen to what you're saying? A renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine, you're hanging around with Ma Wencai and his gang, now you're putting treating illnesses and killing people together, you've really gone too far.
Xie Guangbai was naturally unaware of his master's inner thoughts. He stood up with a grateful expression and solemnly swallowed the loyalty pill.
"After taking it, you'll feel a little dizzy for a few moments. Find a place to sit down and wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It should be over soon." Xu Jinhuan dutifully explained the precautions for taking the medicine.
Xie Guangbai nodded upon hearing this, casually found a place to sit down, and began to close his eyes and rest.
Soon, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was over.
Xie Guangbai slowly opened his eyes. He looked at his hands in shock, then touched his nose and eyes.
"How was it?" Xu Jinhuan asked curiously.
Xie Guangbai's expression and actions were too strange, as if he hadn't had a physical body for a hundred years and had just acquired this body.
Xie Guangbai then realized that his master was looking at him curiously, and he touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
"Ahem, this pill is even more miraculous than you described, Master."
