What If I Can't Die?-Chapter 126 - Demon Pill, The Path Is Narrow

126 Demon Pill, The Path Is Narrow

Song Shi’s consciousness was erratic and he felt extremely groggy and languid, as if he was floating in a huge ocean.

After an unknown period of time, he finally regained some of his consciousness.

“What happened”

He was a little confused. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that after drinking the Spring Water of Life, he fell down as if he was drunk.

“Is this Spirit Spring so powerful? My physique actually can’t withstand it.”

Song Shi was shocked. He tried his best to open his eyes, but he realized that his body was not listening to him.

Lu Yue’s voice could be heard indistinctly. Song Shi listened intermittently and could tell what she was intending to do.

She was going to eat him!

This old woman actually wanted to eat him as a special spiritual herb.

“Damn it, so that’s why you gave me so many good things to eat. You’re using me as a vessel to condense the medicinal power for you!”

Song Shi was furious.

He was not angry because this old woman treated him like a human-shaped spiritual herb, he was angry that his plan to run away after eating all the good stuff was ruined. She did not give him a chance to escape at all!

How infuriating. Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it was[“the older the ginger, the spicier it was” Is a Chinese phrase used to describe that older people are usually more experienced due to their age]!

As he sighed in his heart, Song Shi tried his best to regain control of his body.

In the end, his body was too languid and did not have any strength. It did not listen to his orders at all.

His body was glowing with vitality under the Spirit Spring Water of Life. He was absorbing the rich life force inside and was transforming.

Lu Yue clicked her tongue as she watched. “His body is really strong. He’s actually starting to transform into a Spirit Body. If he succeeds, my chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm will increase greatly.”

“Unfortunately, the power of the Spring Water of Life cannot be absorbed too much by your physical body.”

She pointed her finger at Song Shi’s abdomen. A ring of fire was released from Song Shi’s brocade robe, wanting to resist her strength.

“Eh, that little b*tch Zi Yue actually let you wear this Dharma robe.”

Recognizing the clothes on Song Shi’s body, Lu Yue sneered and forcefully broke through the defense of the Dharma robe.

She pulled open her clothes and injected green Nomological power into it. After spreading it, it transformed into a huge net that covered Song Shi and locked the Spring Water of life to prevent it from being absorbed by his body.

As flames danced from the power, the scissors were blocked by the Diamond Dharma Body, but because Song Shi did not actively provide strength, its defense was greatly reduced. In the end, the scissors broke through his defense.

A bloody hole appeared on his body and blood flowed out. However, the wound squirmed and began to heal. It could be seen from this how strong Song Shi’s body was.

With a flick of Lu Yue’s finger, the seed landed in the wound’s blood.

Lu Yue chanted, “Take root for me!”

The seed burst out with dazzling light and immediately split open. Roots grew out and stabbed into the bloody hole. Wisps of pure energy and Profound Qi were devoured and it grew.

When the thin roots emerged, the top of the seed also sprouted, emitting a resplendent green light.

In the blink of an eye, the green sprout grew into a leafless dark green sapling with a flower bud at the top.

“This old woman is planting trees on me!”

When Song Shi realized it, he cursed in his heart. At the same time, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Such methods were simply unholy to the extreme. It was no wonder that Sikong Ya had said that the Yao Moon Palace was also a Demonic sect.

“If I had known earlier, I would have seriously cultivated the Imperishable Golden Body or farmed out a Spirit Body. Let’s see how she will plant a tree on my stomach.”

For the first time, Song Shi felt that his body was not hard enough. Someone had actually broken into his stomach and planted a tree.

At this moment, Song Shi felt pain in his body. He had finally regained some of his control over his body.

“You can’t suck like that!”

Song Shi did not want to become nourishment for a strange tree, especially since this process was very painful.

He visualized his Yin energy and condensed his Spirit into one. He further extended his control of his body and realized that he was currently groaning in pain.

At this moment, he felt that there were many tentacles in his body that were crazily devouring his flesh and Essence Energy. It was simply sucking out his bones and marrow.

Buzz!

Runes erupted from his glabella, chest, back, and limbs. There were a total of seven runes, forming a golden barrier that wanted to break free from the strange tree.

However, he soon let out a scream and realized that when he resisted the strange tree, the roots that were rooted all over his body were affected. It was as if he was cutting himself into pieces when he was resisting. It was so painful that he immediately stopped.

The pain was not the worst part. The worst part was that he could not use any strength.

“Hehe, little brother, you’d better just lie still. This Demon Life Tree has now become a part of your body. If you resist it, it’s no different from hurting yourself.”

Lu Yue was surprised that Song Shi had recovered control of his body so quickly. She then teased him confidently.

Swoosh!

Song Shi opened his eyes, burning with anger. “Old fart, you’ve gone too far!”

He realized that under the influence of the roots, although his body could feel something, he could not move at all. It could be seen how strange this strange tree was.

“Too far?”

Lu Yue did not feel anything at all. Instead, she said matter-of-factly, “Only by being unscrupulous can I go far on the path to immortality. Besides, I don’t have a choice. If I’m not ruthless, I’ll die of old age.”

She looked at Song Shi coldly. “It’s better for you to die than me. Haven’t you heard this from anyone before?”

“Yeah, but you’re barking up the wrong tree.”

Song Shi stared at Lu Yue. “If you speak nicely and give me more benefits, even if I don’t dual cultivate with you, I will still give you pills to help you break through in the future. It’s a pity that your chose the wrong path with me.”

“Hahaha!”

...

Upon hearing Song Shi’s words, Lu Yue could not help but let out a strange laugh. “Me wait for the elixir that you will give me to break through? I’ll have died of old age long ago. The grass on my grave will probably be three feet tall when you finally give me that elixir. Besides, how can you stinky men be reliable? I’d rather go a little overboard myself to control you all!”

Song Shi frowned. He was confident that he would be able to obtain such things in a few years with the system, but this old woman did not know about that and would not believe him.

“Stay here quietly. Don’t think about struggling. Wait for the Demon Life Tree to devour all your flesh and Essence Energy and condense the Demon Pill. You can still live after that. Otherwise, I’ll let it devour your soul!”

Lu Yue smiled sinisterly. “I specially asked the cult master of Heavenly Devil Cult for this. I was going to find a golden core to use this on, but it’s a pity that ordinary golden cores are not easy to kill, so I can only use it on you.”

“I didn’t expect you to be a demon.”

Song Shi mocked.

“Demon? Do you think Zi Yue, who just dual cultivated with you, is a good person?”

Lu Yue was unmoved. Instead, she was disdainful.

At this moment, the flower bud on the sapling on Song Shi’s chest bloomed, emitting a blinding fire. A scarlet bead was condensing in it.

“Little brother, your foundation is really deep. According to the Prison Suppressing Demon Lord, only a Golden Core Martial King can condense a demonic pill. This means your level is equivalent to that of a Golden Core because what you are condensing is just a different type of Golden Core.”

Lu Yue praised.

...

Song Shi looked at the slowly forming demonic pill in the flower bud and was speechless. He did not expect to condense a Golden Core in such a way.

However, when he saw that his flesh and blood had withered and he was only skin and bones, it was obvious that his essence had been swallowed whole. The price he had to pay was also huge.

As time passed, day after day, he could only watch as the light from the demonic pill became brighter and brighter, and the aura it emitted became stronger and stronger. His body no longer had any strength.

He did not struggle anymore, mainly because he was also curious and wanted to see how far this thing could go.

Pfft.

The Demon Life Tree suddenly burned. The petals, trunk, and roots lost their essence and turned into ashes.

Song Shi’s body had regained its freedom, but he was now only skin and bones. He was like a dried corpse and did not even have the strength to move.

Dried corpse?

A Will-O-Wisp flashed across Song Shi’s mind.

“If that guy didn’t lie to me, I might still be able to struggle.”

He tried to chant in his heart, “Ba!”

In his originally depleted body, runes emerged from the darkness. Strange flames surged out of thin air, and a red array pattern appeared between his eyebrows.

The power of the contract that the Crimson Demon had force onto him was activated.
