The sky in July changed at will.
Before Astor headed out, the sky was still clear, yet when he arrived at Master Levi’s front yard, dark clouds hovered the sky, and coupled with the dreary air, it could easily make one irritated.
Sitting upright in the living room, he waited quietly.
In fact, the best way to solve the crisis in Eastshire and Stonedale was to wait until the Holy Doctor Competition. If he could win the championship, he would become the top miracle doctor of Cathay. If he gave his order by then, he could easily wipe out the existence of the Pill of Life Exchange.
Though the idea was a good one, the reality was cruel.
There was still nearly a week until the Holy Doctor Competition, but everything would be too late if he waited until then. Moses only had one way left to solve the problem now.
If he had another option, Astor would never choose to meet Master Levi, primarily because Master Levi was too cunning. It was as if every move he took was calculated. Furthermore, Astor was putting his life in danger by traveling all the way here.
Nonetheless, the crisis in the two states could only be resolved with Master Levi’s help.
Just as Astor was immersed in thought, he heard footsteps coming from the backyard. Though he didn’t see the man, Astor could hear his footsteps and the swaying movements of his figure.
When Astor subconsciously raised his hand to block him, someone grabbed his arm.
Essential Qi seeped into Astor’s body, shocking Master Levi.
“Has your here and meridian been restored?” Letting go of his palm, Master Levi looked at the young man in front of him with disbelief and he was also slightly intimidated by Astor.
“Yes. I was lucky enough to get advice from an expert. I am in good health now.”
Though unbelievable, the truth was happening right in front of him.
“I can’t believe that can happen!” Expressing his surprise, Master Levi took a seat opposite him.
At the same time, his gaze landed on Astor inadvertently. Occasionally, he would also steal glances at the sword beside Astor.
Due to the urgency of the matter, Astor had no leisure time to chat with him.
“There’s an urgent matter that has compelled me to seek your assistance, Master Levi.”
“Are you talking about the Pill of Life Exchange?” After calming himself down, Master Levi asked.
As the ruler of the Six Southern States, how could such matters in Eastshire and Stonedale escape his attention?
“Exactly. Please issue an announcement explaining the dangers of the Pill of Life Exchange. I thank you in advance on behalf of the people of Eastshire and Stonedale!”
As he spoke, Astor got up and bowed to Master Levi.
The public would only believe it when someone as credible as Master Levi stood up. Not only was the Pill of Life Exchange extremely dangerous, but the side effects were also well concealed.
In the initial stage after consuming the drug, one would only feel younger and more energetic. At this stage, general medical instruments wouldn’t be able to detect any abnormalities in one’s body.
In the middle and late stages, the side effects would hit in the form of a sharp decline in various body functions. At that stage, one would no longer be able to recover. Their energy would be exhausted, just like a plant with rotten roots, which might look fine on the surface, but would wither in a second if it was not kept intact.
As a result, Astor wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Pill of Life Exchange had recently been sold on the market to abolish it.
Once the drug spread, the consequences would be disastrous.
“As expected of the youngest genius doctor in Eastshire and Stonedale. You really are a righteous leader who strives to save the people.”
Although Master Levi was smiling, his tone was tinged with coldness. Moses had been waiting for Astor to come to him for help. The purpose was so that Astor would know his place, thus allowing him to have a better grasp of controlling Astor.
However, the situation took a turn. Astor’s initially damaged hara and meridians had recovered and the mysterious essential Qi within him felt like a threat to Master Levi. Astor gave him the creeps.
If Master Levi didn’t get rid of him now, he could pose a great threat in the future.
Sensing the change in Master Levi’s aura, Astor secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. His first life-and-death crisis was quietly approaching him.
“Master Levi, the two states are in crisis right now and that makes me utterly distressed. As long as you take action and eradicate the source of the Pill of Life Exchange, I will produce the Divine Skill Pill to fill in the market vacancy.”
The reason he mentioned the Divine Skill Pill was to protect himself from getting killed.
