The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Rejuvenating Pill Bestowed by His Majesty

The Ming Prince's Mansion.

It was the same room where Mo Bai had woken up.

Under the warm yellow light, three figures appeared.

One of them sat lazily on the bed, with delicate features but a pale complexion; he was none other than Ming Wang Mo Bai, who had just returned to the manor.

His face darkened slightly, and he glanced impatiently at the figure standing not far from him, his voice icy as he said, "I've made myself perfectly clear: I don't want to see your face. Do you really think I'm just ignoring you?"

Two people were standing to the left of Mo Bai. One of them was a burly man dressed in coarse linen clothes. He stood to the side with his head bowed and remained silent. It was Tie Xiong.

After receiving Mo Bai at the gate and bringing him back to the mansion, he followed Mo Bai into the room. He was about to report the situation to Mo Bai, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Zhang Bangli's arrival.

And without a doubt, the person Mo Bai was speaking to at that moment was Chief Zhang, who was standing right in front of him.

Hearing Mo Bai's harsh tone, Zhang Bangli lowered his head slightly, concealing the fire in his eyes, and said in a low voice, his tone unreadable, "Your Highness, please calm your anger. This humble servant has come on His Majesty's orders to present you with a precious elixir!"

"Hmm?" Mo Bai paused slightly, seemingly not quite understanding. "The Treasure Offering Pill?"

Without saying much, Zhang Bangli took out a small box from his personal pocket, presented it with both hands to Mo Bai, and said with his head still bowed, "His Majesty is considerate of Your Highness's injury and the fact that you have to travel a long distance to Fengmingzhu before your health has fully recovered. He is worried about Your Highness's safety and has specially bestowed upon you a precious royal treasure, a supreme Taoist medicine, the priceless Guiyuan Pill, to replenish Your Highness's vital energy. Please take it immediately."

Guiyuan Pill?

Upon hearing the name, Mo Bai didn't react much, but Tie Xiong below him suddenly gasped and couldn't help but stare at the pill box, his eyes flashing with shock.

Mo Bai had never heard of this pill before, but he noticed Tie Xiong's unusual behavior, which he couldn't control. A thought flashed through his mind, and he knew that this pill must be something special.

However, he became even more wary at this moment, and did not believe the claim that it was priceless.

Others may not know, but doesn't he know himself? In his father's eyes, he is already destined to die. If he were truly so precious, why would he be given something to waste?

Without any formal kneeling or expression of gratitude, he simply reached out and accepted the pill box.

Zhang Bangli seemed to have been provoked enough by him and was unwilling to cause any more trouble, so he didn't say anything to remind him and just watched as he casually opened the pill box.

Instantly, a delightful fragrance emanated from the pill box.

In an instant, the room was filled with fragrance; one sniff was enough to make one feel refreshed and relaxed.

The three people in the room instantly fixed their gazes on the luminous white Rejuvenation Pill, their breathing quickening.

However, while Tie Xiong and Zhang Bangli were deeply moved by the pill, Mo Bai's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he picked up the pill from the box. He seemed to be examining it closely, but in reality, he was smelling the fragrance and trying to understand its medicinal properties.

As the fragrance entered his body, Mo Bai's mind stirred slightly, and he adjusted his breathing, beginning to circulate his internal energy. Instantly, he felt the faint primordial energy he had previously refined from Master Zhang begin to stir within his body.

Mo Bai's heart skipped a beat: "It's actually a pill for cultivating true qi? Just a whiff of its fragrance and its effects are extraordinary; it truly is a precious pill!"

In his previous life, his master was a highly virtuous Taoist, so naturally he was skilled in alchemy. Mo Bai inherited his medical and martial arts skills, but due to the scarcity of herbs, he never managed to refine any peerless elixirs. Even so, in order to prolong his life, he also modified ancient elixir formulas and sought usable medicinal materials to substitute for them, and he also refined many elixirs with inferior effects as a supplement.

Therefore, his understanding of this elixir is so profound that even renowned experts of the time might not dare to imagine it.

Mo Bai raised his eyes slightly and immediately noticed the strangeness in the two of them. He was even more certain that this pill must be famous in the world and was definitely not a poison pill.

However, he put the pill back into the medicine box and casually tossed it onto the bed. Amidst the two men's astonished gazes, Mo Bai said to Zhang Bangli, "Alright, you can leave now!"

The precious pill was put away, and the two regained their composure, but their eyes were still somewhat fixed on the pill box. However, Zhang Bangli could not forget his duty. Seeing that the Prince of Ming did not seem to intend to take it on the spot, he quickly reminded him, "Your Highness, please take it immediately so that His Majesty can be at ease."

"Okay, we'll eat in a bit. You can go now!" Mo Bai waved his hand, his impatient expression returning.

In fact, even if he was certain that the pill was extraordinary, Mo Bai still couldn't discern its specific medicinal properties for the time being. His current body was not one that could be treated with just any precious medicine.

He was even suppressing the powerful tonic from the alchemist within his body, so how could he dare to rashly take the pill on the spot? If things went wrong, he might really unleash his last bit of life force and have a final burst of energy before death.

Moreover, and most importantly, he still couldn't figure out why the royal family would bestow such a precious elixir upon someone like him who was destined to die. What was the reason behind it? Could it be related to tomorrow's arrangements? He knew too little, and if he wanted to save his life, he had to be careful.

Zhang Bangli was speechless. Such a precious elixir, yet the Ming King regarded it as an ordinary thing...

But how could he allow the Ming King to act recklessly? He had to watch him take the elixir on the spot, otherwise he couldn't bear the responsibility if anything went wrong: "Your Highness, His Majesty's orders..."

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, a deep, angry shout suddenly rang out.

Zhang Bangli froze, involuntarily raising his head slightly to look at Mo Bai. He saw Mo Bai's expression instantly turn ferocious, his eyes flashing with a murderous light, staring intently at him with extreme malice. Mo Bai snarled, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty… Zhang Bangli, don't think I don't know! It was you, you dog, who tried to murder me! My brother has already told me that the traitor who harmed me deserves to be torn to pieces. It was you, you who opposed Father's decision to make things right for me, that led Father to be deceived by you and not severely punish the traitor who harmed me. Hmph, do you really think I'm easy to bully, that I can be fooled like Father? I have a clear conscience, how could I be so easily deceived?" You, Zhang Bangli, this treacherous villain, think you can discern my wicked intentions? I saw right through you at a glance. Do you really think that with Father Emperor here, I won't dare to do anything to you? Huh? Let me tell you, if you truly anger me, not only Father Emperor, but even the Emperor himself standing here, I will chop you to pieces and feed you to the dogs on the spot. You ungrateful wretch, do you really think Father Emperor would kill his own son for a servant less than a dog like you? Let me tell you, if you dare to anger me again, I will not only kill you, but I will also implicate your entire clan, exiling your male members to be slaves for generations, and forcing your female relatives into prostitution for generations…”

quiet!

As the chilling, malevolent voice faded, the room fell into utter silence.

The clarity of mind brought about by the Rejuvenation Pill had long since faded, leaving only heavy breathing echoing rapidly.

Even though Tie Xiong knew Mo Bai's intentions in treating Zhang Bangli this way, he still couldn't help but be deeply shocked by Mo Bai's fierce and tyrannical tone.

Unable to resist, she raised her head and looked at Mo Bai with a surprised expression, unable to tell whether the King of Ming was being genuine or not.

If even Tie Xiong is like this, what about Zhang Bangli himself?

These words would be unbearable even for someone with a great capacity for tolerance.

These vicious words, which he had never even dared to imagine, finally broke his limit of patience. He raised his head abruptly, his eyes bloodshot, as if spitting out two long flames, staring intently at Mo Bai: "You..."

"Insolence!" However, his anger seemed to only further ignite the tyranny of the Ming King. The Ming King stood up abruptly and roared at him, "You dare to insult me, you dog, you dog... Tie Xiong, immediately stomp this dog to pieces, tear him to pieces... cough cough, immediately, immediately... cough cough cough..."

The eruption happened in an instant.

In a fit of rage, the Ming king issued a kill order, but he himself seemed unable to bear the anger and suddenly began to cough violently, unable to even finish speaking.

Tie Xiong stood there, watching this scene unfold, but he couldn't tell if it was real or fake.

Zhang Bangli was trembling with rage, seemingly overwhelmed by anger.

"Didn't you hear me? Cough cough... Kill! Seize him for me! Cough cough... Drag him out and feed him to the dogs! Quick! Pfft..." As he said this, Mo Bai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The bright red color aroused Tie Xiong, and it also aroused Zhang Bangli.

"Yes!" Tie Xiongzhen couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood, nor did he dare to distinguish it. Ming Wang's mouthful of blood was too frightening.

He had no choice but to grab Zhang Bangli and bring him down. Zhang Bangli had regained his senses after drinking that mouthful of blood.

She broke out in a cold sweat, too terrified to resist. Her eyes were fixed on Mo Bai with extreme tension, but she didn't know what to say.

Beg for mercy? Calm down? Faced with the capricious Ming King, who was determined to chop him up and feed him to the dogs, and to enslave and enslave his entire clan, he truly couldn't bring himself to speak.

And so, Tie Xiong dragged him out of the room.

"presumptuous!"

"Release Lord Zhang!"

"How dare the murderer?"
