"Well... that's true," Saitama said calmly, "but after the modification, the nerves will disappear, and you won't feel pain when attacked. You know, pain is the brake button of the human body. If the brake fails, the body will definitely be scrapped."

"...So that's how it is?" Genos suddenly realized and quickly took out his notebook to write it down. "As expected of you, Mr. Saitama... This is what I'm lacking right now!"

"It seems that next time I ask Dr. Kusno to modify it, I will have to find a way to add pain sensation to this body."

"By the way, how much do you know about the Medicine King's Secret Teachings?" Xing continued to ask.

"I am merely an alchemist, and I don't understand the complexities of this matter. I only know that this is a group of immortal boat people who consider themselves the people of abundance."

Dan Shu shook his head slightly. "I suspect they simply attribute their suffering to their own straying from the fate of their ancestor, the Longevity Plague, and therefore hope to save themselves by becoming a prosperous people again."

"After saying that, Dan Shu slowly took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Xing."

"I told you I'd prepare a small gift for you," Dan Shu said with a faint smile. "I've consulted relevant historical documents and prepared a medicine to prolong life and strengthen the body. I've named it the 'Chanyun Chenglu Pill' and want to give it to you."

"Taking this will make you light and agile, and prolong your life and improve your health. For Wuming, it will surely make your journey easier."

Demon World——

"Prolong life and keep fit...prolong life...oh no!" Shinobu Kocho said inwardly, "Not good", feeling extremely anxious.

"What's wrong? It's just a pill? Why are you making such a fuss?" Fuzuka looked at Shinobu Kocho strangely. He had never seen her so nervous when Xing encountered various crises in the past.

"Do you still remember that Miss Qingdi once said that the Immortal Boat strictly forbids research on life extension... But the effect of that pill..."

"Extend life..." The Rock Pillar finally reacted: "The medicine in Danshu's hand is [Dragon Coiled and Snake Leaping]!"

"Eh?! So Miss Danshu is the secret disciple of the Medicine King?!"

"Tsk, I thought she was a good person, but since she can produce this elixir, doesn't that mean she has already obtained the Vajra Marrow?" Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai frowned. "This woman is really a hidden talent."

"Ahhh! Xing, stop being so greedy at this time!!!"

Seeing Xing in the light curtain taking out the pill and about to put it into his mouth, several pillars closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.

And the Infinite City on the other side——

"Eat! Eat it now! Xing!"

"As long as you eat it, you will have endless life and can pursue anything you want!"

Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes nearly popped out, an indescribable fervor threatening to burst from his eye sockets. He simply wanted to witness how Xing took the elixir and transformed into an immortal.

Of course, he would rather Xing transform into a demonic body immediately - if possible.

For thousands of years, he had loved doing one thing: they transformed the heroes that the people talked about into ghosts, and then admired the complicated and desperate expressions on people's faces when the heroes killed at night.

If Xing turns into a demonic body, what expressions will Jing Yuan and the others have?

Should he persist in his pursuit of the hunt and kill Xing? Or should he cherish his friendship with the train crew, abandon his mission to destroy the evil creatures of abundance, and let Xing go?

Anyway... I really want to see it.

"Sir... look! Xing is about to be eaten!" A ghost under his command reminded tremblingly.

Wuzan raised his head and just saw Xing throwing the pill into his mouth like eating peanuts.

"Xing had no doubt about Dan Shu's true identity. As for the elixir... he even licked his lips with a hint of aftertaste."

"...It tastes a bit strange, but it's not bad."

"But soon the elixir's effects took effect. Xing suddenly felt a splitting headache and his body became scorching hot, as if being cooked in a cauldron. The world before him gradually turned blood red..."

“It’s so uncomfortable… I can’t breathe…”

"Alright! Hahahaha! Is this going to transform into a demonic Yin body? Mr. Yang from the train crew, as well as the general and the fortune teller from the Immortal Boat, let's see what measures you will take when facing a star that has transformed into a demonic Yin body!?"

Wuzan, who was enjoying the fun, laughed wildly.

But the strange feeling brought by the drug was short-lived, and soon the bright red in Xing's eyes disappeared, and he stood up again as if nothing had happened.

Even... burped.

Muzan’s eyebrows knitted together: “Just, just like that…?”

Chapter 131 Praise the Star Core!

"Feeding someone poison is too shady... Look! Miss Danshu is definitely not that kind of person!"

"You lose, Pava~"

Stretching his arm forward, Dianci picked up the largest piece of beef in sauce from Pava's plate and put it on his own plate, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Denci?"

Pava suddenly stood up and grabbed Denci's chopsticks, trying to prevent the beef from entering his mouth. "Hey, hey, hey... When did I make a bet with you? It was obviously you who wanted to make a bet, wasn't it?"

"Are you stupid? Denci, if you use your brain a little, I can guess that Danshu is definitely a good person~" After saying this, Pava puffed out his chest proudly and poked Denci's head with his finger: "Do you have any evidence to prove that I made a bet with you?"

"If not, you're making a false accusation! As a punishment, I'll give you a shock and you'll have to eat your meat for the rest of the year!"

-

"Huh...it seems to have eased a bit, but I'm still a little uncomfortable...the situation is a bit strange. Let's go to the Shen Ce Mansion and discuss it with Qing Tu."

"Halfway along the Star Road, that strange feeling returned. Branches and vines seemed to sprout before my eyes, and my vision was obscured by a sea of ​​blood..."

"Once Xing regained consciousness, she found herself in the Divine Strategy Palace, surrounded by many Cloud Knights."

Qingjian’s voice echoed in my ears: “Xing! What’s wrong with you? Be careful, don’t hurt her…”

"Xing! Xing! Wake up! Are you okay?"

"The hazy feeling gradually faded, and consciousness seemed to struggle to the shore from the bottom of the water, and the sounds in my ears became clearer."

"What's wrong with me?" Xing rubbed his head, the pain still lingering.

"Great! You're finally awake. I thought something terrible was going to happen, and I was so scared I broke out in a cold sweat." Qing Dui clutched his chest with lingering fear and breathed a sigh of relief: "You walked into the Shen Ce Mansion and suddenly started brandishing a weapon."

“I don’t remember anything about what happened…”

"Your loss of control is exactly like those of your compatriots who have fallen into the demonic realm..." Qing Tu said worriedly, "I suspect there must be something hidden. What happened before you came to the Divine Strategy Palace?"

"Xing told us everything about her and Danshu."

After hearing this, Qing Jue's expression became extremely solemn. "From your description, the gift given to you by Dan Shu is from the same recipe as the Medicine King's secret and strange elixir... But strangely, the doctor who came to examine you said that your body functions were not affected at all."

"Are you okay? Ah... praise the star core!" Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri put on a pious expression.

"Hey, hey! That kind of thing that brings disaster to the nation and the people is not worthy of praise, right? Aren't you afraid that the Antimatter Army will knock on the Demon Slayer Corps' door the next day?"

Wind Pillar Fuzugawa Shinobu looked at Kocho Shinobu beside him and asked, "Why doesn't the medicine that can induce the demonic body work on Xing? Is it just because Xing is not an immortal species?"

"...It's probably because of the star core." Shinobu Kocho said after thinking, "The biggest difference between Xing and ordinary people is the star core in her body, and...she has been glanced at by two star gods."

"No matter how effective Dan Shu's medicine is, it's just human wisdom at best. The Star Core is a creation of the Star God. There's absolutely no point in comparing the two."

"As for the Star God's glance... it's hard to say at the moment what kind of help it has brought her, but it has more or less changed the star, right?" Shinobu Kocho guessed.

"To Xinghe, the pill that Danshu painstakingly refined is nothing more than a small snack. It just tastes a little worse." Ihei Xiaobanai's voice was filled with a hint of laughter. "It's also fortunate that it was Xing who took the pill. If it was Walter or Sanyueqi, the consequences would be truly disastrous."

"Qing Dian was equally puzzled upon learning the result. 'Is she teasing you? Or did her medicine fail on you? I suggest you come back for a checkup later. After all, no one can guarantee the effectiveness of the Medicine King's secret elixir."

"I'll immediately issue a wanted order for Dan Shu. If you have any leads on her, please feel free to contact me." Qing Tu handed a puppy to Xing. "Take this Di Ting with you? Perhaps it can help you find this... friend."

"Qingdi's expression was quite serious when he said this."

"The chief alchemist of the Dan Ding Division is actually a member of the Medicine King's Secret Sect... What about the other alchemists? What about the entire Dan Ding Division? Could it have become the base of the Medicine King's Secret Sect?"

"Xing was also distressed. Seeing Dan Shu delivering medicine to the little girl for free, she really thought she was a good person, even regarded her as a friend, and swallowed the medicine without thinking. But in the end, she almost fell into her trap..."

"After returning to Ruomuting, she used her listening skills to sense Danshu's scent, and then headed to the Industrial Development Department."

"There, she successfully saw Dan Shu standing with a group of demonic Yin bodies."

"At this point, there seems to be no need to ask any further questions. The situation is already very clear."

"That's it~"

"What the hell? It turns out I'm the only one who saw through Dan Shu's true face~"

"I can uncover the truth with just a little bit of my brain. I'm truly a genius among demons!"

Seeing Dan Shu reveal his true face, Pava was more excited than anyone else. She looked smug, raised her hand and made a "yeah" gesture, then danced around the living room: "I'm a genius! I'm a genius!"

After saying that, he hugged Denci from behind and laughed excitedly: "Hey, Denci, you lost the bet this time. All your meat for the next year will be mine!"

"Hey! Didn't you just say you didn't gamble?!" Denci turned around and glared at Pava with an unhappy look on his face.

"Hmm?" Pava calmly tucked a strand of hair behind his ear and adopted a calm tone. "Do you still want to deny your debt, Denci? It was you who wanted to bet with me in the first place, wasn't it?"

"I told you from the beginning that there was something wrong with Danshu!"

"Then is there any evidence to prove that I made a bet with you?" Denci picked his nose and flicked it on the table.

"No! But I made a bet!" Pava insisted.

“…I just didn’t gamble!”

"It's a bet!"

“…Aaaaaah! You liar! You weakling! You liar!”

Looking at the noisy chatter of a man and a woman in front of him, Hayakawa Aki silently put the earphones into his ears.

...It's so quiet.

Chapter 132: Does the Medicine King's secret teachings understand the God of Abundance?

"Seeing Xing, a demonic spirit stood in front of Dan Shu and said, "Master Kuishou, please step back. I will deal with this guy."

"...The leader? Xing was a little surprised. She had thought Dan Shu was the secret disciple of the Medicine King, but she didn't expect him to be the boss."

"It's okay, she's my friend." Dan Shu ordered the demonic spirit beside her to retreat. She turned towards Xing and sighed, "I didn't expect you to come to see me."

"You lied to me." Xing stared at her coldly.

"I'm sorry... I've lied to you about so many things, but I'm only sorry for tricking you into taking that medicine. As for the other lies, they were only for the sake of communicating with you on an equal footing," Dan Shu asked calmly, "Did you take the [Chanyun Chenglu Pill] I gave you?"

"Xing didn't want to hide it: "I ate it."

"Have you experienced the change?" Dan Shu's tone seemed to grow faintly excited. She raised her head and gazed toward the sky with her cloudy, colorless eyes. "How many envoys have arrived at the Immortal Boat, eager to seek the elixir of immortality, only to return empty-handed."

"But they were right. The Immortal Boat does indeed hold the secret to transforming into an immortal species. I admire you very much and want to give you this opportunity."

"Take the [Chanyun Chenglu Pill] and you will experience firsthand the boundless freedom that the Compassionate Medicine King brings to the flesh and blood."

"But Dan Shu suddenly seemed to notice something and frowned slightly. "Wait... you don't sound abnormal? Your breathing hasn't become longer, and your aura doesn't seem to have changed?"

Naples, Italy.

"Hahahaha, I guess Danshu couldn't imagine that Xing's physique is different from that of ordinary people, right? With the star core, Xing's body is full." Even outside the villa, the organization's bodyguards could hear Guido Mista's hearty laughter.

"However, since I missed out on immortality due to my physical condition, it can't be considered a big win."

Trish curled her lips. Thinking of the girls on the Immortal Boat, like Fu Xuan and Qing Que, who remained youthful and beautiful even after being hundreds of years old, it was hard not to be envious. Especially for a star like her, a Canyun Chenglu Pill was more effective than any other skincare product.

Moreover, although Xing's style of doing things is a bit unconventional, her appearance is indeed impeccable. She is definitely a beautiful girl. If one day she sees her face getting old, even she will be sad, right?

"Whether this medicine is good or bad, we need to be more cautious." Fu Ge put down the tea spoon in his hand and said slowly:

"If an ordinary outsider took the pill, they would most likely only transform into a demonic Yin body. In the eyes of the Medicine King Secret Sect, the demonic Yin body is the most complete form bestowed upon them by the Medicine King."

"Dan Shu considers Xing a friend—she does have that feeling, but it's not much. Perhaps she's more interested in using Changsheng's transformation to pull Xing into this pirate ship. The Medicine King's secrets have been hidden on the Immortal Boat for thousands of years. The current chaotic situation on the Immortal Boat is the perfect time for them to take action. As long as they can deal with Xing, they might be able to divide the Divine Strategy Palace's strength."

Fugo's calm voice made Mista narrow his eyes slightly.

"You're quite good at talking, Fugo."

"Isn't that why you asked me to come?"

"Haha, yes." Giorno smiled slightly. This was indeed an important reason, but it was not the only reason.

Fugo's ability was incredibly dangerous—any living thing infected by the "murder virus" released by the "Purple Smoke" would gradually decay, dissolve, and ultimately die. Crucially, this virus was impossible to defend against, and there was no way to control the infection.

As the boss of the organization, Giorno couldn't let such a dangerous Stand out from his sight, so he tried to find a way to get Fugo back to his side.

"Before the light curtain disappears, Fugo, you will 'temporarily' give us advice."

-

"Why? Is your physique different from that of ordinary people?" Dan Shu asked in surprise.

"I have a star core within me."
