Chapter 39 He took the medicine
The myriad realms are vast and boundless; no one knows how many worlds are hidden within the endless chaos.
But outside the primordial world (the world of beasts), there are several other worlds surrounding it, among which the world known as the Dark Universe is the most famous.
Within the dark universe, countless beings exist, as numerous as carp crossing a river. Numerous holy lands, great religions, aristocratic families, and even ancient races crisscross the land, dominating both the interior and exterior of the universe.
Between the world of beasts and the dark universe, there is a supreme divine tree—the Sky-Supporting Tree—that serves as a bridge connecting the two realms, and even multiple worlds, forming a vast world called the Xuanhuang Realm.
Where there is life, there will be conflict. Although the Beast World has a Heavenly Court and an Underworld to suppress the Three Realms, other worlds also have top-tier forces.
Therefore, the Xuanhuang Realm has long been characterized by a diverse array of races and a fierce competition among the top powers, with no one willing to submit to the others.
However, as time passed and the great war continued, a force called the Temple was born in the Dark Universe. It instantly suppressed the entire Dark Universe and became the most powerful force in the Dark Universe.
Just as the temple was preparing to unify the Xuanhuang Realm with its overwhelming power, something unexpected happened: the supreme divine tree that connected many worlds—the Sky-Supporting Tree—collapsed for some unknown reason.
As a result, the temple's plan to unify the Xuanhuang Realm failed, and the worlds within the Xuanhuang Realm were separated by chaos.
Apart from the cultivators at the pinnacle who can physically traverse the chaos, other cultivators find it difficult to travel to other worlds unless they rely on magical artifacts or formations.
As Di Ting recounted the story, a magnificent panorama unfolded in Hao Chen's mind: divine beasts roared in the chaos, and powerful beings annihilated stars with a single hand; forces from various realms interacted and exchanged their respective Daos and Laws...
Just as Hao Chen was imagining this scene, the Qilin interrupted, "Ahem, Di Ting, although I don't want to disturb you, I still want to know, what does this have to do with the Seed of Reincarnation?"
Di Ting explained, "The earth has told me that the so-called Seed of Reincarnation is the supreme divine medicine—the Tree of Reincarnation, from which the Dao fruit grows. And the Tree of Reincarnation belongs to the Palace of Reincarnation within the Dark Universe."
Hao Chen then asked, "So, Di Ting, you mean that the best way for us to obtain the Seed of Reincarnation is to find a way to go to the Dark Universe and search for it there?"
Di Ting nodded: "That's right, unless you can find the seed of reincarnation left in our world, perhaps some of them were left behind during the great wars or exchanges between the various realms."
The four-legged creature shook its head: "Let's think about how to get to the Dark Universe of Di Ting. This method seems more reliable."
Di Tingwen agreed with the four-legged creature's statement, since it had a clear objective.
Hao Chen playfully added, "I also think the Four-Not-Alike makes sense."
Just then, the Flower-Buddha came over carrying a bowl of dark medicine: "The medicine is here, drink it while it's hot."
As the flower-like bird brought the medicine into the room, a bitter medicinal smell instantly filled the entire room.
With his keen sense of smell, Tianlu couldn't stand the smell any longer and ran out like a madman: "Ugh, what a disgusting smell, I can't stand it."
Next up was Rabbit God, who also covered his nose and said, "I can't stand this smell either. This thing is a mess, I'm leaving first."
Seeing that Tianlu and Rabbit Lord had left, Taotie felt it would be out of place if it didn't leave, so it said, "This smells terrible, Grandpa's leaving too."
Now, only Hua Rui Niao wearing a mask, Di Ting and Hao Chen who were trying to suppress their discomfort, and Qi Bu Xiang who was holding Ying Zhao down were left in the room.
Hao Chen looked at Hua Rui Niao's mask and quickly said, "Hua Rui Niao, can I borrow your mask? I can't stand the smell."
Upon hearing Hao Chen's words, Hua Rui Niao quickly covered her mask: "No, I only have one mask. What am I going to use if I give it to you?"
Hao Chen "..."
Hao Chen then turned and left as well. This godforsaken place, let whoever wants to stay stay there, he wasn't going to serve them anymore.
Di Ting was initially trying to be polite, but faced with the pungent smell of medicine, it gave in: "Earth, what should I do in this situation?"
"Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Upon hearing Dadi's urgent words, Diting also made an excuse, saying, "Fourth Boss, I have some things to attend to at home, so I'll be leaving now. This medicine should be able to suppress Yingzhao's injuries for about a year."
The Qilin said in a deep, muffled voice, "Diting, thank you for your help this time. Let's play mahjong again after we're done."
"Okay, don't forget then."
After hearing this, Di left the deer shop. However, he realized that it was still quite early, so he changed direction and prepared to go to Bai Ze's house to visit and reconnect with him.
Seeing that everyone had left, Hua Rui Niao approached her with the medicine. Ying Zhao became anxious and tears welled up in her eyes: "Papa, the medicine is so bitter, I'm scared."
The four-legged creature comforted him, saying, "It's alright, you'll feel better after you finish drinking it. Be good, listen to me."
Hearing her father say this, Yingzhao could only pinch her nose and drink the medicine in one gulp.
After taking her medicine, Yingzhao felt a little drowsy: "Papa, I'm so sleepy~"
Soon, Yingzhao curled up and fell asleep in the arms of the Sixiang, which startled the Sixiang, who thought something was wrong.
Fortunately, Flower Bird explained in time: "Fourth Boss, it's okay. This is a normal reaction after taking the medicine. You'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
Hearing this, the four-legged creature breathed a sigh of relief: "That flower-like bird, after Yingzhao woke up, his memories..."
However, Flower Bird shook its head and said, "I don't know about that. After all, this is the first time I've made this medicine. But based on its effects, there should be a high chance of recovery."
"That's good."
Hearing that Yingzhao's memories could be restored, the Four-Faced Beast felt much more at ease. Otherwise, what would it look like for a single divine beast to be carrying a little kid who still needed to be breastfed? And how would Rabbit Lord view him?
As Taotie stepped outside to breathe in the fresh air, his mind suddenly snapped back to reality. He remembered that Haochen wanted the treasure he had been collecting.
However, Hao Chen did not return with Pi Xiu this time, which immediately made Taotie think a lot.
As soon as Hao Chen came out, Taotie rolled over to his side and asked, "Tell me, besides that Yingzhao, what else have you done? Have you touched my treasure vault?"
To this question, Hao Chen naturally shook his head firmly: "Are you alright? Why would I touch your precious thing?"
Before Taotie could even breathe a sigh of relief, Haochen said again, "I wouldn't even look at your meager earnings. And you're a beast who's lived for thousands of years, how come you're still so poor?"
Taotie said angrily, "Didn't you say you wouldn't touch my treasure vault?"
Hao Chen squatted on the ground and spread his paws: "I didn't flip it over, it was all your baby who ran into my belly on its own."
"You fart!!!"
Taotie was furious. Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe such a thing as it automatically running into his pocket.
But there was nothing he could do: "So Taotie could only curse Haochen in his heart."
Just then, Totoro, carrying Cat Dragon, flew hurriedly towards Hao Chen: "Hao Chen, help! There's a strange child chasing us!"
