I rubbed my foot, which had just been stepped on, and after a while, it felt a bit better. I took off my socks and saw that the area where I had been stepped on was red and swollen.
I felt somewhat speechless. My current situation was a classic case of trying to show off but getting slapped in the face instead. After finally attempting to act cool, I had failed so quickly. I couldn't help but sigh and shake my head, muttering to myself, "Sigh, I really can't pull off being cool. It seems I still have a long way to go on this path!"
I gathered my thoughts and looked over at Qiu Ye beside me, feeling a bit embarrassed as I said, "Qiu Ye, I was just joking earlier; please don't take it to heart!"
"Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you! This is something Boss Yang Xiaochao gave you; keep it yourself. My mission is complete, and I'm heading back!" Qiu Ye huffed arrogantly, tossing the pill she held into my hand before turning and leaving my dormitory, quickly disappearing from my sight.
Watching Qiu Ye's retreating figure, I awkwardly smiled and shook my head. She left too quickly for me to even have a chance to call her back.
I focused my attention on the pill in my hand. As I examined its structure, I muttered to myself, "What exactly is this thing? Why does seeing it change my mind about Yang Xiaochao? And why does Qiu Ye think it's a healing Holy Medicine?"
I scrutinized the pill closely but found nothing particularly special about it. The pill was pitch black and emitted a faint unpleasant odor. If handed to a passerby, it would surely be discarded as a lump of Mud Pill.
Patiently, I dug out a quarter-sized piece from the pill with my finger and crushed it into fragments, carefully analyzing the components: "Qiu Ye said this is a pill, but I don't see any traces of medicinal ingredients in it. What on earth is this?"
My brows furrowed tightly together. After trying various methods, I still couldn't find anything special about the pill.
"Damn it, I want to see what this thing tastes like; does it really have the miraculous properties Qiu Ye claims?" A glint flashed in my eyes as I steeled myself and licked the surface of the pill.
"Eh? What's going on?" Just as I swallowed the powder from my tongue, I suddenly felt those particles surge toward my Dantian's Daoist Magic. The powder flowed into my Dantian like pieces of firewood, instantly causing the Daoist Magic within me to boil. I could clearly sense that my Daoist Magic had increased slightly.
However, the powder in my Dantian was quickly consumed, and my Daoist Magic gradually returned to calmness. Yet that slight increase in Daoist Magic was undeniably real.
"Wow, this time I've really struck gold. I can't wait to see how powerful this pill is!" Excitement flashed in my eyes as I didn't hesitate for a moment, tossing the pill directly into my mouth and swallowing it whole.
As the pill entered my Dantian, I felt my internal Daoist Magic boiling once again. Joy surged within me, and I quickly closed my eyes, focusing entirely on refining the pill inside me.
The effect of this pill was somewhat similar to the Buddhist Relic I had absorbed before, but its potency was slightly weaker. If I could devour a large number of these pills, my Daoist Magic would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
After more than an hour, I had completely absorbed the pill, and it became a part of my Daoist Magic. Although my Daoist Sect Cultivation still remained at the Master Title level, my Daoist Magic had increased by about fifty percent, significantly boosting my strength.
If I were to face Chi Jun from the Daoist Ghost Techniques now, I would have a sixty percent chance of defeating him outright.
"Haha, Yang Xiaochao was right. I've changed my mind; this time, I'm definitely going to join the tomb raiding expedition." A glint of determination shone in my eyes as I realized that I was looking for ways to enhance my strength, and unexpectedly, Yang Xiaochao had provided me with such an opportunity. I wouldn't let this chance slip away.
I took out my phone and called the number from earlier. The call connected quickly.
"Master Jiang Ling, have you changed your mind?" Yang Xiaochao asked directly without beating around the bush.
I nodded and replied calmly, "Yang Xiaochao, I'm willing to go with you, but we need to discuss how to divide the spoils beforehand. Also, are you sure how many of those pills are at that location?"
Yang Xiaochao's hearty laughter came through the phone. He chuckled, "Hehe, Master Jiang Ling, you can rest assured. While I can't guarantee everything else at that place, I can tell you there will be plenty of those pills—so many that you might not even want them all. The pill I gave you was something brought out by my grandfather and his team. You'll understand more when you get there."
"As for the distribution of the spoils, it's best if we gather together and discuss it face-to-face. You can let Qiu Ye lead you ahead; I estimate I'll be back in the country soon after that, and then we can all meet up."
"Alright, I understand." I hung up the phone with a slight frown. It wasn't that I disagreed with Yang Xiaochao's distribution plan; it was just that Qiu Ye had stormed off in anger earlier, and I had no idea where to find her now.
"Ah, I really have a big mouth! I just blurted something out, and now I have to go find Qiu Ye. I'm really asking for trouble!" I slapped my own face in frustration, shaking my head in disbelief as I took out my flashlight and stepped out of the dormitory. Based on my previous impressions, I set off to search for any trace of Qiu Ye.
However, over an hour had already passed, and I wasn't sure if I would still be able to find Qiu Ye. If I couldn't locate him, I'd have to think of another way.
Meanwhile, deep in the mountains, there was a large lake. A bright moon hung in the sky, its silvery light spilling onto the surface of the water, creating a clear reflection of the moon.
"Caw caw~~" Several black crows perched on a tree by the lake, making their irritating calls.
"Annoying!" At that moment, a hoarse voice echoed from beneath the lake's surface. Suddenly, several stones shot up from underwater, striking the crows and knocking them all off their branches.
The once quiet forest fell silent once more.
