"ARGH!" Zheng Ming screamed in agony.

He desperately tried to circulate the Innate True Qi within his body to expel this substance, which felt like sulfuric acid, and prevent further burns, but it was futile!

This black blood that had burst from Tang Bo's body—what on earth was it? It had such powerful corrosive properties that even Innate True Qi could not stop it!

"Someone come! Help! Help me!!" Zheng Ming cried out in utter terror. The situation had caught him completely by surprise; the pain, far exceeding any normal circumstances, tortured his nerves, and he was on the verge of collapse!

"Where's my Spiritual Medicine? Bring me my life-preserving Spiritual Medicine! Quick, someone bring me the medicine! Someone! Anyone!!"

His furious roars echoed throughout the entire Qihuang Pharmaceutical Limited Company.

The voice, containing Innate True Qi, was like a series of sonic booms that shook the more than twenty-story office building, throwing many people into a panic.

"Dr. Zheng! Dr. Zheng! What happened!?"

A group of people ran in. Upon seeing Zheng Ming's condition, they were instantly stricken with shock, their faces filled with disbelief. What on earth had happened?!

They were the executives of Qihuang Pharmaceutical Limited Company, who had just been standing outside the door, always ready to answer Zheng Ming's summons.

In terms of status, they were equivalent to servants of Qihuang Temple physicians. They were expected to be on call at all times; that was the usual arrangement.

But now, these men were dumbfounded, almost doubting if they were hallucinating.

Zheng Ming's current state was simply too tragic; he looked like a completely different person!

That blob of pitch-black blood possessed extreme corrosiveness!

It had splashed all over Zheng Ming. Now, his entire body was covered with countless wounds corroded by the black blood. His facial skin was ulcerated and weeping pus, rendering him nearly unrecognizable.

My heavens!

What had just happened? Why had the exalted Qihuang Temple physician ended up like this?

It was inconceivable!

"ARGH! What are you standing around for?! Go get my Spiritual Medicine immediately! Now!!" Zheng Ming roared in desperation. He was in such extreme pain, he wished for death!

"Yes, yes, yes!!"

"Dr. Zheng, just a moment!"

The executives immediately began searching and soon found a jade bottle in a drawer on the side table labeled "Linglu Baiyun Elixir"—a high-quality healing Spiritual Medicine!

As executives of a worldly subsidiary of Qihuang Temple, they had some understanding of Spiritual Medicine.

Hurriedly, they poured one out and had Zheng Ming take it.

The Elixir, fragrant and enticing, melted upon entering his mouth, instantly turning into a warm current that flowed down Zheng Ming's throat and seeped into his limbs and bones, nourishing his entire body.

Subsequently, the Innate True Qi was awakened and activated by the Spiritual Medicine's power and began circulating faster. Soon, streams of milky-white light burst forth from his body!

The thick black blood, as if encountering sunlight, began to rapidly dissolve and, within a few seconds, vanished completely.

Right after that, the ulcerated flesh on Zheng Ming's body also began to recover quickly under the nourishment of the Innate True Qi. Soon, it returned to normal, as if he had never been injured at all.

"My heavens! A miracle! This is simply miraculous!"

"Worthy of being a physician of Qihuang Temple—reviving the dead and healing broken bones! It's truly amazing!"

The executives from Qihuang Medical Company, eyes widened, watched Zheng Ming in utter astonishment. Such severe injuries had healed so quickly; it was truly unbelievable!

Qihuang Temple truly is a place where Immortals reside! It's so miraculous!

Yet Zheng Ming's expression was incredibly grim, his eyes shimmering with a thick murderous intent. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, punctuating each word, "Qin Heng! Qin Xuantian! Unbeatable in the world! Interesting, very interesting! You mere mortal ant, dare to plot against me? I will capture you and turn you into my medicine man, use you for drug experiments, and transform you into a monster that's neither human nor ghost!!"

BANG!!

Zheng Ming, furious, punched the wall beside him. Instantly, the steel-reinforced concrete crumbled into dust under the force of his fist; a ten-meter-high, three-meter-wide section of the wall vanished completely!!

Too terrifying!

What kind of strength was this? Simply monstrous!

The eyes of the few corporate executives almost popped out of their sockets. At that moment, Zheng Ming became the most formidable figure in their hearts—this was utterly superhuman!

So impressive!

"HMPH!" Zheng Ming suddenly let out a muffled groan, his expression one of shock.

Just now, after he threw that punch, he had suddenly realized that a strange power was still hidden inside his body.

The moment he attacked, that bizarre force moved as well, using the same magnitude of strength to strike his own internal organs—this was a deadly attack!!

Even for an Innate Grandmaster, internal organs are extremely fragile. If attacked from the inside, they can easily be ruptured!

If the punch he had thrown moments ago had been slightly stronger, he reckoned he might have blown his own organs apart. Even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured!

"Damn it! What is this force? Why is it like this?! Damnation! It must be that little beast Qin Heng's doing!" Zheng Ming seethed with hatred for Qin Heng.

"If I don't neutralize this force inside me, I fear my days are numbered. No! I absolutely cannot die! You damned commoner ant! Lowly little creature, how can you kill me!!"

Zheng Ming, teeth clenched, glanced at the few executives and said, "Go find out where Qin Heng has gone! And prepare a car to take us there, now!!"

He had to take Gao Xin and Lu Guangyuan with him!

When he saw Qin Heng, they could first compete in medical skills. As long as he won, he could demand Qin Heng remove that bizarre power.

And if things didn't go as planned, he could use those two as hostages!

To force Qin Heng into submission!

"You common ant, you little beast! Just you wait!" Zheng Ming narrowed his eyes, his body quivering with anger, and swore inwardly, I, Zheng Ming, will tear you to pieces and feed you to the dogs!

Mount She. Dongyue Palace was located here.

Qin Heng had once brought Qin Yun here, learned some news about the resurgence of Spiritual Energy on Earth, and also helped the people of Dongyue Palace reorganize their establishment and install a new Palace Master.

Now, Dongyue Palace on Mount She was essentially Qin Heng's own territory, since he had installed its Palace Master and single-handedly subdued the entire sect!

"Master Qin, why have you come? Why didn't you inform me beforehand so I could have gathered the disciples to welcome you?" Qinghe, followed by a group of disciples, came out from Dongyue Palace. She performed a respectful salute to welcome Qin Heng and Lu Jianjia.

She was the Palace Master established by Qin Heng; without him, she would merely be an insignificant young Taoist nun, far from her current status.

Thus, she was deeply grateful to Qin Heng.

Behind Qinghe were six young and beautiful Taoist nuns who had also seen Qin Heng and knew of his prowess. They all kept their heads lowered, not daring to look directly at him.

They all vividly remembered the overwhelming power and aura from the last time Qin Heng had visited.

"It's nothing important. I just need to use your place to wait for someone," Qin Heng said with a smile. "Your grounds are spacious and the environment is pleasant; it's quite suitable."

"Master Qin, who are you waiting for? Do you need my help with preparations?" Qinghe asked curiously. What kind of person could be so important that a powerful man like Master Qin would personally wait for them?

"No need. Just help me prepare a table, chairs, and tea," Qin Heng waved his hand and said. "Then have someone wait outside. When the people from Qihuang Temple arrive, make them perform three kowtows and nine bows before they can step through the mountain gate to see me."

"Yes, yes, of course," Qinghe agreed without hesitation. Then, she suddenly sensed something was amiss. Her eyes widened, her face turned pale, and she stared at Qin Heng in disbelief, her voice trembling.

"Master Qin, did you just say... Qihuang... Qihuang Temple?!"
