Chapter 34 – Disciple of the Demon Cult?
"This isn't scientific!"
Qin Yu looked left and right, unable to figure out why things turned out this way.
Li Zhengtong excitedly ran around the courtyard, grabbing another white elixir and swallowing it.
"Yu Ge, do you have any more of these white elixirs?"
"The banana flavor is simply delicious!"
Qin Yu highly suspected that the white elixir had an exhilarating effect.
Xiao Zhi blinked his gorilla eyes at Li Zhengtong.
To be honest, he regretted it. He also wanted to taste what that white elixir was like.
"Give me a moment of peace!"
Qin Yu grabbed Li Zhengtong and knocked him twice on his hairy head.
The world suddenly quieted down, and Li Zhengtong sat pitifully next to Xiao Zhi.
Qin Yu paced back and forth in front of the two gorillas, "Now, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Good news!"
"Bad news!"
The two spoke in unison, yet without any coordination!
"Alright, I'll start with the bad news then!"
"The bad news is, I still don't understand why you turned out this way."
The faces of the two gorillas immediately fell!
"Don't be sad, I still have good news to share, don't I?"
The light of hope rekindled in the eyes of the two gorillas.
"The good news is, your strength has increased more than fivefold, and the effect is so long-lasting, you should be secretly happy!"
The faces of the two gorillas fell even more.
Seeing the two getting angry and their muscles bulging, seemingly wanting to do something improper to him, Qin Yu quickly shouted, "Calm down, I have more good news!"
"This must be a side effect of the elixir. Once the effects wear off, you'll definitely return to normal!"
The two thought it made sense and calmed down, their eyes flickering with hope as they looked expectantly at Qin Yu:
"Yu Ge, how long does the effect of this elixir last?"
Qin Yu coughed awkwardly, "Well, the Strength Pill's effect usually lasts for just a quarter of an hour."
The faces of the two gorillas fell again.
We've been gorillas for almost half an hour, and you're telling us the effect only lasts a quarter of an hour?
"Calm down, calm down!" Qin Yu hurriedly tried to stabilize their emotions: "I meant the ordinary Strength Pill's effect lasts only a quarter of an hour, but this elixir is clearly not an ordinary Strength Pill."
'That makes sense!'
A glimmer of hope squeezed into the eyes of the two gorillas, looking at Qin Yu with their last bit of expectation.
"Yu Ge, how long can this Strength Pill last?"
"Uh!"
"I don't know exactly how long it will last; it depends on your performance!"
"But don't worry, I'm not a stingy person. Since you've suffered so much, I'll definitely compensate you and won't let you suffer a loss."
Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi eagerly asked, "What compensation?"
Qin Yu thought for a moment, "I'll compensate you with five Strength Pills each, personally refined by me!"
"Ahhh! I can't take it anymore!"
"Qin Yu, you're going too far!"
"Calm down!"
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Today, I'll show you the difference between the second level of Qi Refinement and the first level!"
Bang~
Dinosaur fights wolf~
Slap~
Bang bang bang~
"Ah, you two gorillas, I admit you're impressive!"
"We're all in the same circle, give me some face... Don't hit the face!"
"Take it easy, take it easy, don't break my alchemy furnace; it's worth 55 Contribution Points!"
......
Five minutes later!
One person and two gorillas leaned against each other, panting heavily.
Qin Yu, with a bruised face, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, lamenting life, "It's all my fault for refining the elixir too well!"
Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi calmed down and had to face the current reality.
"Yu Ge, what should we do now?"
"Wait for another hour. If you still remain like this, then we'll have to go to the Healing Pavilion!"
The Healing Pavilion is the Xuantian Sect's hospital. If a cultivator is seriously injured or has a mishap during cultivation, they can go there for treatment.
The two sighed.
"That's all we can do!"
Qin Yu circulated his spiritual energy to quickly heal his injuries.
Though it seemed intense earlier, all three knew that Qin Yu only suffered minor injuries, which could be healed with a bit of cultivation.
After recovering, Qin Yu began to study the elixir recipe.
"Yu Ge!" Li Zhengtong quietly approached Qin Yu.
"What?"
Li Zhengtong chuckled awkwardly, "Do you have any more of that white elixir?"
"Is it really that good?"
"Of course, that white elixir is the best thing I've ever tasted in my life."
Li Zhengtong reminisced as he spoke:
"It has a rich, aromatic, heavy banana flavor that touches the soul, melts in your mouth, and fills the air with fragrance, making it irresistible."
This was the first time Qin Yu heard someone use 'heavy, aromatic' to describe bananas.
He thought Li Zhengtong must have been made foolish by the elixir, and his taste buds must have malfunctioned.
No matter how you refine Bull Tendon Flower, Tiger Grass, and Broken Bone Tree Leaves, they have nothing to do with bananas.
How could they produce a banana-flavored elixir?
Xiao Zhi, seeing Li Zhengtong describe it so deliciously, also wanted to taste the white elixir.
Qin Yu wondered, "Did you inherit some of the gorilla's habits after turning into one, instinctively wanting to eat bananas?"
The two angrily said in unison, "I'm not a gorilla!"
A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
"Alright, alright, you're not!"
Li Zhengtong added, "That elixir may taste like banana, but it's a thousand times better than any banana, incomparable."
Qin Yu thought for a moment, "How about I buy you a banana first? Maybe your taste changed after taking the Strength Pill!"
"That's possible!"
Just as Qin Yu was about to go to the marketplace, Li Zhengtong said, "I still have some bananas I bought a few days ago in my room!"
"Perfect, I'll get them!"
Qin Yu handed the bananas to the two.
Xiao Zhi took a bite and said, "Tastes the same as usual, no difference!"
Li Zhengtong took a bite, spat it out immediately, and lamented, "Once you've tasted the finest delicacies, how can you eat this coarse food!"
"It seems the problem really lies with that white elixir. Is it really that delicious?" Qin Yu was curious.
With some time left, Qin Yu set up the alchemy furnace and refined another Strength Pill.
As expected, the white elixir still appeared at the bottom of the furnace.
Seeing the white elixir, Li Zhengtong's eyes lit up.
Qin Yu picked up the elixir and sniffed it, finding no special scent.
Under the expectant gazes of Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi, Qin Yu popped the elixir into his mouth.
"Yu Ge, save me half!" Li Zhengtong shouted anxiously, but it was too late.
Qin Yu let the white elixir dance in his mouth like candy.
'There's a slight banana flavor, but it's not strong, nor is it particularly tasty!'
'Could this elixir be specifically for those who took the Strength Pill and turned into gorillas?'
Qin Yu's dream of getting rich shattered.
Li Zhengtong asked, "Yu Ge, how is it, tasty?"
Qin Yu didn't answer but refined another white elixir.
This time, Qin Yu split the elixir in half and handed one half to Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi eagerly popped it into his mouth and soon howled with delight, calling it delicious.
'It seems only those who turn into gorillas find this thing tasty.'
Seeing the pitiful Li Zhengtong, Qin Yu silently put away the remaining half of the elixir.
"I'll keep this half for you and give it to you once you return to normal!"
Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi realized an hour had passed, and they still hadn't changed back.
"Let's go to the Healing Pavilion!"
Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi wrapped themselves tightly with black cloth, leaving only their eyes exposed.
The three of them jogged to the Healing Pavilion.
After Qin Yu paid 10 Contribution Points, they were assigned a physician.
"Do you need treatment for external or internal injuries?" the physician asked.
"Neither, my two friends here have encountered a problem!"
Qin Yu glanced back at the two, signaling them to remove their black robes.
Reluctantly, Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi took off their robes, revealing their developed muscles and lush hair.
The physician was startled, having thought the two under the robes were humans, only to find they were gorillas.
The physician reminded, "Brother, we only treat humans here. For spirit beasts, please go to the Veterinary Pavilion!"
"You're the spirit beast, we're humans!"
"Wow!" The physician was amazed, "This spirit beast can talk?"
"Judging by the cultivation level, it's only at the Qi Refinement stage, yet it can speak human language. It must have divine beast bloodline!"
Qin Yu: "No, it's not..."
"Wait, don't tell me, let me think!"
"A gorilla-type divine beast, could it be a descendant of the Divine Demon Ape or the Six-Armed Wild Ape?"
"But these two are too ugly to be their descendants. Could their bloodline be impure, a hybrid?"
Qin Yu: "No, it's not..."
Before Qin Yu could finish, the physician interrupted again.
"Brother, I must warn you, a spirit beast developing a 'human' consciousness is very dangerous. You should send them to the Beast-Taming Peak for training!"
Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi breathed heavily through their nostrils.
If they weren't outmatched, they'd want to punch this guy to death!
Once the physician stopped talking, Qin Yu quickly explained the situation.
"You mean, your two friends turned into this after taking your refined elixir?"
"Exactly!" Qin Yu nodded.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely sure!"
"Alright, wait here for a moment, I'll go get some medicine!"
"Okay, thank you, physician!"
Seeing the physician leave in a hurry, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yu smiled and said, "It seems this situation is quite common. Just a simple explanation, and the physician knows what medicine to use."
Li Zhengtong and Xiao Zhi also relaxed.
"Seems like it's not a big problem, scared me to death!"
As the three were discussing, the door suddenly burst open with a kick.
The physician who had just left pointed at Qin Yu and shouted loudly:
"It's him, suspected to be a demonic sect disciple, turning our sect's cultivators into spirit beasts!"
Qin Yu: "???"
