Chapter 179 Blessing or Curse?

Ling Qi still remembers clearly that on that night, not long after he saw his son off, three mysterious divine pills containing super energy suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the secret room—the Spirit Gathering Pills.

This unexpected windfall was like a powerful bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, instantly igniting the long-dormant flame of hope deep within Ling Qi's heart.

With this Spirit Nourishing Pill, what does it matter whether or not we obtain the rare treasures on those two humans?

Before them lay the very energy elixir they had so desperately sought, while the whereabouts of the extraordinary treasure and even the two humans who carried it remained unknown.

If this isn't a blessing from heaven, then what is?

Although he knew that this tempting gift might hide a huge crisis, the captivating light emanating from the divine pill and the endless power it contained were like an irresistible black hole, instantly drawing Ling Qi's full attention.

After the initial shock, Ling Qi used all her strength to calm herself down and began to carefully consider the unbelievable scene before her.

Who put the Spirit-Nourishing Pill in their secret chamber?

Undoubtedly, the newcomer is stronger than himself.

The first person he thought of was Zhu Xian, because given their complicated relationship and past entanglements, Ling Qi was convinced that this must be a trap carefully set by Zhu Xian.

Perhaps at this moment, Zhu Xian is hiding in some unknown corner, secretly observing every move in this secret room through some special means.

If he discovers that Ling Qi has any ill intentions, he will immediately impose the most severe punishment.

This Spirit Nourishing Pill is not only invaluable to Ling Qi, but also to Zhu Xian himself.

Although reason kept reminding Ling Qi that this was very likely a treacherous trap, the immense temptation of the three divine pills plunged his heart into extreme struggle and contradiction.

That night, Ling Qi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

The image of the three divine pills kept replaying in his mind. They seemed to have transformed into three dazzling rays of light, constantly flashing and leaping in the darkness, making Ling Qi's thoughts increasingly chaotic.

Every time I close my eyes, the image of that divine pill immediately appears before me, lingering there.

And whenever he tried to force himself to stop thinking about it, the desire for great power would surge back like a tidal wave, shattering the psychological defenses he had painstakingly built.

And so, Ling Qi tossed and turned in bed all night, until dawn broke, when she finally fell into a deep sleep, utterly exhausted...

Just as the eastern sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn, and the first rays of day were just beginning to break through the darkness, he could no longer contain his eagerness and longing.

He flashed forward, rushing towards the secret room like a bolt of lightning.

The moment he stepped into the secret chamber, his gaze was immediately drawn to the three divine pills that were still placed in the center.

Fortunately, the divine pill still lay there quietly, emitting energy fluctuations as strong and awe-inspiring as ever.

Faced with such a tempting treasure, Ling Qi struggled greatly and used all her strength to barely suppress the urge to immediately possess it.

However, despite his efforts to restrain himself, his steps were still incredibly heavy and slow as he left.

Each step he took seemed to exhaust all his strength, and he kept turning back to look at the divine pill with lingering affection. Finally, after a long and arduous struggle, he slowly walked out of the secret chamber, turning back every few steps.

From that day on, for seven days and seven nights in a row, I spent every moment in unbearable torment.

Every morning, he would rush into the secret room with great eagerness, and then, after a fierce internal struggle, leave with reluctance.

Only when the first light of dawn finally appeared on the horizon did he reluctantly leave the secret room one last time.

This torment felt like an eternity to Ling Qi.

Finally, on the morning of the eighth day, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the secret room, Ling Qi's desires surged forth like a flood bursting its banks, becoming uncontrollable.

Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the three divine pills, then threw them all into his mouth.

The three divine pills melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a scalding torrent that flowed straight down the throat.

Immediately afterwards, an unparalleled and immense power suddenly spread throughout his body like a volcanic eruption.

The sudden surge of immense energy made Ling Qi dizzy and nearly caused him to lose his composure.

But he was, after all, a seasoned practitioner. After a brief moment of distraction, he quickly regained his composure and began to operate with all his might, guiding this powerful energy to circulate throughout his body along his meridians.

As time passed, Ling Qi gradually adapted to this powerful energy and began to gradually bring it under her control.

When the last bit of energy was completely refined and absorbed, Ling Qi's eyes, which had been closed for a long time, suddenly opened, and two beams of light shot out from them.

At the same time, an indescribable look of surprise appeared on his face.

That feeling was absolutely wonderful!

An unprecedented feeling of exhilaration filled his entire body, and every pore on his body opened up to its fullest extent, enjoying the nourishment and cleansing brought by this powerful force.

This extremely comfortable feeling made him want to roar to the sky to express his ecstatic joy.

Ling Qi clenched her teeth, struggling with all her might to barely suppress the surging excitement within her.

Because if one becomes carried away, it will inevitably attract the attention of Zhu Xian.

When that time comes, it will truly be a case of "extreme joy turning into sorrow".

Thinking of this, he finally suppressed the overwhelming excitement in his heart.

At this moment, he clearly felt a powerful and boundless force surging wildly within his body, rising continuously, as if it were about to break through the constraints of his body and burst forth!

This unprecedentedly powerful feeling made him tremble with excitement, almost unable to control himself.

Since that day, every day, three divine pills emitting a strange light would appear precisely in that mysterious secret chamber.

Ling Qi had more than once secretly hidden in a dark corner, staring wide-eyed and holding her breath, trying to unveil the veil of the mysterious figure who was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

However, no matter how hard he racked his brains and searched, each time he ended up in vain and found nothing.

Nevertheless, the lingering worry in my heart remained like a heavy boulder, impossible to shake off.

But faced with this endless supply of precious elixirs, Ling Qi simply could not resist its immense temptation.

Each time, he would accept all the divine pills without hesitation and immediately devote himself to cultivating and absorbing the powerful energy contained within them.

Time flies, and the days pass by one by one. In the blink of an eye, a full half month has passed.

During this time, Ling Qi was completely immersed in the joy of the increased strength brought about by the divine pill, and almost forgot about her spy son.

It was only at this moment that Ling Qi suddenly woke up and finally remembered Ling Sheng.

So he hurriedly summoned his son to a private room and had an in-depth conversation with him after more than half a month...

Because of the long period of isolation, the spirit might not be able to think of anything, but the immortal behind him would definitely notice the abnormality behind it.

This is a crucial period for Ling Qi to improve his strength, and he will not allow any unexpected complications.

Watching her son's satisfied figure gradually disappear into the distance, she looked back.

Once he realized he was safe, he immediately flew towards the Zhu Guo Palace.

Watching that back view that showed no hesitation, Ling Qi's heart, which had been restless due to familial ties, gradually calmed down.

The last vestige of attachment in his heart seemed to have quietly dissipated with his son's heartless departure.
