Chapter 231: Got into Trouble
Chuckling, he put away the Space Ring. Now that they had arrived in Yunlu County City, Lin Yun planned to find a place to sell the ten Earth Spirit Soldiers. With his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, he had no use for them and figured it would be better to exchange them for Primordial Stones.
However, Yunlu County City was crowded with all sorts of people, and Lin Yun didn’t trust the Monk and Daoist one bit. After some thought, he decided to make the two of them take the Black Blood Pills that Zhong Lin had given him.
He had over a hundred Antitoxic Pills on him to suppress the Black Blood Pill’s poison. At a rate of two pills per month, it was enough for the Monk and Daoist for fifty months—more than four years.
"Now that we’re in Yunlu County City, with so many prying eyes, I’m a little worried about you two," Lin Yun said faintly to the Monk and Daoist.
Hearing this, the Monk and Daoist, who had been grinning from ear to ear, immediately put on expressions of utmost sincerity. "Young Master Lin, the two of us have already given our hearts to you. Even if I, a Monk, were to betray the Buddha, I would never betray you!"
"That’s right! The Boundless Celestial Venerable is nothing now! In my eyes, as a Daoist, there is only Young Master Lin."
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes at them. He then held out two Black Blood Pills and said calmly, "These are Black Blood Pills. I shouldn’t need to explain their effects—you both already know. Eat them, and I’ll believe you."
The Black Blood Pill was an elixir with a notorious reputation throughout the entire Yanhuang Country. Once swallowed, it meant being completely under someone else’s control, with absolutely no turning back.
For the first time, the Monk and Daoist hesitated. They used every verbal trick in the book to reassure Lin Yun, begging him to trust them and not make them swallow the Black Blood Pills.
"Young Master Lin, we swear we won’t betray you! We’re completely loyal to you, you have to believe us..." the two pleaded, their words flowing like a torrential river.
