The End Times as a Song

Chapter 38 Secret Medicine Making

As night deepened, a bright moon hung high in the sky. The gates of Guixu Palace were tightly closed, but moonlight streamed through the gaps into the main hall, illuminating the palace.

Lin Moshi sat on a pristine white jade bed, enveloped by a massive barrier sphere. Three colored streams of energy—gold, red, and blue—swirled around the sphere, colliding, resisting, and repelling each other.

Inside the enormous sphere of light, Lin Moshi was meditating and cultivating. Large beads of sweat covered his forehead, his face was pale, and his eyes twitched incessantly, making him look quite uncomfortable.

Coal Ball lay under the bed, taking a comfortable nap as a guardian.

Suddenly, tiny sparks of fire appeared on the coal ball, instantly waking it up. Still dazed, the coal ball, as if receiving some kind of message, cried out in a panic.

"Divine Source, Master, there's news about Divine Source..."

Coal Ball turned around excitedly, wanting to tell Lin Moshi the good news that the divine source had been sensed again. But when Coal Ball saw Lin Moshi's pale face, Coal Ball hesitated. Coal Ball's eyes darted away, and after hesitating for a long time, it muttered to itself.

"Master has just entered a meditative state. If I disturb him now, I could easily fall into demonic possession..."

"What should we do...? And now we're sensing the divine source again, but we can't afford to delay any information about it...?"

Coal Ball paced back and forth anxiously, then suddenly stopped and pondered for a moment.

"If I don't report the news of the Divine Source to my master immediately, and miss it, will my master be angry? Last time I was too late and missed the Divine Source. If I miss it again this time, I don't know when the Divine Source will reappear..."

Coal Ball frowned, his expression gloomy, and he anxiously patted his head, truly at a loss for what to do. He was lost in deep thought.

"A-Shi...A-Shi, what are you doing...?"

Outside the gates of Guixu Palace, the clear voice of the Wind-Riding God could be faintly heard.

"Is it the Wind-Riding God Lord...?"

Upon hearing Shenfeng Shenjun's familiar voice, Coal Ball's pupils dilated, the corners of his eyes twitched upwards, and a smile appeared on his lips. As if grasping at a lifeline, he slapped his hand and said something.

"Great! The reinforcements have arrived...!"

"Ah-Shi, why are you ignoring me? Wasn't that all in the past? Are you still angry...?"

The Wind-Riding God Lord walked to the gate of Guixu Palace. Seeing that the gate was tightly closed, and that Lin Moshi did not respond, he disregarded all formalities and directly used magic to open the gate and barged in. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Moshi meditating and cultivating.

"Ah Shi, so you were cultivating. Look at my memory, I actually forgot such an important thing..."

"As the heir of the gods, you are pitiful. Every time this happens, you have to suffer from the chaos of these three meridians. If you don't find the divine source soon to restrain the other two meridians in your body, who knows what will happen next..."

When Chengfeng Shenjun saw Lin Moshi meditating, large beads of sweat were still on his forehead, and he looked very uncomfortable and uneasy. Seeing this, Chengfeng Shenjun couldn't help but feel sorry for his friend Lin Moshi.

"The Wind-Riding God... The Wind-Riding God..."

Coal Ball dared not make a sound, and whispered a call to the Wind-Riding God.

"Little Coal Ball...you're protecting the Dharma...!"

"Sorry, I didn't notice you earlier...! So I didn't say hello. I'm making up for it now."

Seeing Coal Ball acting suspiciously and cautiously, the Wind-Riding God couldn't help but become curious. He lifted his skirt, bent down, and half-squatted to respond to Coal Ball.

"Lord Chengfeng, let's skip the formalities. Please put your hand down and let me go up. I have something urgent to discuss with you..."

The Wind-Riding God immediately lowered his left hand, and Little Coal Ball hopped up to him. The Wind-Riding God also anxiously inquired.

"What's the urgent matter? Tell me quickly...!"

"There's news about Shenyuan... but Master, what do we do now...?"

"This...you're asking me? I don't know what to do either...!"

"Hmph, I thought Lord Wind-Riding God had some brilliant trick up his sleeve...!"

"How about this! I don't know if it'll work, but I'll give it a try...!"

"There's no other way, we can only try this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Moshi coughed up blood, startling both Chengfeng Shenjun and Meiqiu. Meiqiu nimbly jumped off Chengfeng Shenjun's hand, quickly scrambled over, and asked with concern. Chengdong Shenjun also rushed over anxiously and asked the same question.

"Master...are you alright?"

"Ah-Shi, are you alright?"

"Coal Ball, Chengfeng, I'm alright..."

"Master, the Chaotic Lonely Divine Source is appearing and disappearing, and this time it's coming from the Crimson Peak Abyss. What should we do?"

"Let's go, Coal Ball... Let's set off right now."

“Ah Shi, but your current body…”

"We can't miss this opportunity again. If we miss it again, we don't know when we'll get a response next time."

"Alright, I'll go with you this time."

Lin Moshi and Chengfeng, along with Meiqiu, arrived at the bottom of the Chifeng Abyss.

"We arrived too late; the connection with the divine source has vanished again."

"We've come up empty-handed again!"
