I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation - Chapter 708
708 The situation in the city
In the North of Ying city.
The houses and mansions that were originally located here were all torn down, and a large piece of empty land was quickly flattened with a spell.
At this moment, tents were set up in the open space.
!!
A formation was set up around the area to prevent the spread of the GaN plague.
Pained moans rose and fell in the formation and tents. Occasionally, there would be sudden cries. In a moment, puppets would enter to clean up the faces of the new victims, roll up straw mats, and put them on the carts, ready to send them out of the city for cremation.
PEI Ling frowned as he walked between the tents. The color and style of these tents were exactly the same, with only a piece of cloth hanging at the entrance, fluttering in the wind.
According to the gatekeeper, the red rags represented male mortals, the green rags represented female mortals, and The Blue Rags represented a family.
And a piece of cloth meant that the illness was not very serious. Two meant that he had to check it from time to time; Three meant that the person inside could lose his life at any time.
PEI Ling walked into a tent with a red cloth hanging from it. There were a total of seven male mortals inside.
They didn’t look too good, but they were still in good spirits. There were even two people who sat cross-legged on the ground and drew a grid. They used stones that they found from somewhere as chess pieces and played against each other in frustration.
Although the other five people were all lying on the bed, they were mostly awake. Seeing PEI Ling enter, they even tried to get up and bow. “Immortal master!”
“No need to be so polite.” PEI Ling shook his head and held her up. How long have you been infected? How do you feel now?”
The mortals were somewhat ill at ease and said at once, ” the other immortal Masters said that we’ve been infected for a long time. It’s just that we have a good foundation, so it hasn’t worsened.
“Me too.”
“I was fine at first, but two days ago, someone in my house was infected with the disease. I took care of him, but he was also infected later …”
“The immortal master brings the celestial water every day, so I’m fine now except for my chest feeling a little stuffy.”
“I still feel a slight headache.”
“My head doesn’t hurt, but I feel that something is wrong with my body …”
PEI Ling nodded as he listened. He gave a few words of encouragement and walked out.
Then, he went to the tent with two pieces of cloth hanging on it. The people inside obviously didn’t have the energy of the previous tent. They were all lying on the bed, and most of them were in a deep sleep. They didn’t even notice that an outsider had come in.
Only two mortals were awake. One of them was listless and didn’t even bother to move when he heard the commotion.
The remaining one forced his eyes open and looked at PEI Ling. He called out weakly, ” immortal master ” and then asked in a low voice, ” “Immortal master, do you have any immortal pills?”
PEI Ling sighed in his heart and said, ” “Yes, you can take it immediately.”
He didn’t ask anything and only used a spell technique to investigate. The situation in the tent was much more serious than before. However, there was still a breath of life. As long as he treated it well and recuperated for a few days, it wouldn’t be a problem.
This was not because these mortals had a stronger resistance, but because there were traces of the essence cultivating pill’s effects in their bodies, which forcibly protected their source.
However, just like what the cultivator who sent PEI Ling to bamboo city had said, the essence cultivating pill was, after all, a medicinal pill used by cultivators. For mortals without cultivation, its medicinal effects were too powerful.
Even after it was diluted, its medicinal effect was not something that mortals could bear for a long time.
Ten days at most.
After ten days, even if these mortals did not die from the plague, they would explode from the effects of the vitality Pills.
Finally, PEI Ling went to the tent with three red rags hanging on it. It was quiet inside.
All the infected people were unconscious. In the tent, two puppets stood with their hands crossed. Their empty eyes were staring at the ground not far away, without any signs of life.
PEI Ling stood at the door and sensed for a moment before shaking his head.
The origins of the mortals in this tent had all been infected. Even if he had a top grade evil warding pill to save him, he would still fall sick and lose his lifespan.
Some of them were not in good health to begin with, and might even develop some chronic diseases …
While he was thinking, he walked out of the epidemic area and slowly walked on the long Street.
There were no mortals in sight, only the occasional disciple of the nine luminaries mountain.
They walked past a small courtyard facing the street. The originally neat grass and trees in the courtyard had grown wildly because no one had taken care of them.
PEI Ling stood outside the wall and watched silently for a moment. He sensed that there was no one in the house, but there were traces of a hanging beam on the roof beam. He could not help but shake his head.
The plague was so menacing that it had taken thousands of lives in less than a month.
Due to his arrival, the number of evil warding pills in bamboo city was more than enough.
To be exact, he had made a lot more.
However, this was not the way to go …
It was this state that was infected with the plague, not just a city.
Under the control of the system, the speed at which he refined pills was already very fast and efficient, and the furnaces were of the highest quality.
However, if one wanted to refine enough medicinal pills for an entire state, one would be somewhat unable to keep up.
Moreover, the reincarnation tower had spread the plague once, and it could spread it a second time, a third time …
As long as the war didn’t end, more and more people would die, both mortals and cultivators …
Thinking of this, PEI Ling stopped and turned back to the epidemic area. He asked the cultivator guarding the door, ” “Where is true inheritor Dou? I have something to discuss with him.”
Following the cultivator’s instructions, he finally found Dou Dai at the top of the city.
Dou Dai was extremely busy at the moment. He held an array diagram in his hand and was constantly sending runes into the city’s protective array to reinforce it. Beside him, more than a dozen sound transmission talismans were suspended in the air and surrounding him.
Each of the voice transmission talismans flickered with a faint light and emitted all sorts of sounds.”Senior brother Dou, I heard that bamboo city has enough evil warding pills, can you give some to Lin city? There are hundreds of thousands of living beings in Lin town, and we’re in great need of evil repelling pills …”
“Martial nephew Dou, a thousand li Southeast of bamboo city, there are thousands of Li Shu that have lost their homes due to the demonic cultivators” rampage. Moreover, the plague has already spread in the area. At present, only Ying city has enough evil warding pills, and I’ve already ordered people to escort them there. Martial nephew, please take care to receive them.”
senior brother, we don’t have enough resources in the city. We have to urge the higher-ups …
Junior Brother Dou, there is news from the front. A group of devil cultivators sneaked into the demon-suppressing pass, but the demon-suppressing pass lost track of them after tracking them for a thousand miles. Junior Brother, please be careful to prevent them from spreading the plague again … If you find any traces of them, report to the demon-suppressing pass immediately!
senior brother Dou, traces of a plague have been found in the water source outside the city. It is suspected that it was caused by the infected people collectively throwing themselves into the river upstream. The river water can not be used for the time being …
senior brother, there’s someone in the city who’s taking advantage of the chaos to swindle people. They say that the end of the world is coming and that cultivators can get through it with their cultivation, but mortals can only recover by believing in ghosts and gods. They’ve already deceived many people …
“Shixiong, today Li Shu killed himself again. Even if we explained to them that we already have the evil warding pill, they still don’t believe ……”
“Someone is breaking through the city gate and trying to escape to Ji Province …”
