Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

"Why isn't Fellow Daoist Zhuge traveling with us?" asked the cultivator sent by Zhao Jingmo, puzzled.

"If I leave, what do you think will happen?" Kongming asked calmly.

"This this……"

The cultivator was speechless. As a key figure, how could Tie Muzhen not be on guard against Kongming!

Furthermore, even if they escape temporarily, the Yuan emperor will inevitably discover them in three days. What will they do then? Will they confront the Yuan court head-on? Do they have the strength to do so?

Once the cultivator understood this, and seeing Kongming's confident demeanor, he immediately stopped hesitating, grabbed Zhao Fangteng, and ran off into the distance.

Kongming returned to the 'Plain Alchemy Site' and saw Zhu Bajie outside the cave, idly combing the few remaining hairs on his head.

"Ganglie, let's get down to business."

"What important business is this? You're always trying to fool me, do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Pigsy cursed.

"Do you still want to see the three thousand beauties?"

"I want to see, I want to see! Just let me know if you need anything, Big Brother!" Zhu Ganglie immediately put on a pig face when he saw that Kongming had finally brought up something he was interested in.

"I'd like to borrow something from you. I hope you won't mind!" Kongming rubbed the handle of his feather fan, looking at Zhu Bajie with a hint of ill intent.

"Brother, what kind of look is that? Don't scare me!" Pigsy cautiously moved back a little and said to Kongming.

"Follow me into the cave!"

"I'm not going in!"

"Can we get in or not?"

"No, absolutely no entry..."

Suddenly, Kongming sprang into action and carried Zhu Ganglie directly into the cave.

"Help! They're slaughtering a pig! Help..."

A short while later, a pig-like scream echoed from inside the cave...

"It's just a few drops of pig's blood I borrowed from you. Why are you crying so bitterly?"

Kongming comforted Zhu Bajie, who was squatting in the corner, and took out a few candies from his body, acting like he was coaxing a child.

"Waaaah... I trusted you so much, and you actually tricked me, Old Pig, from Yuliang all the way here to kill you. Don't you have any conscience?" Pigsy cried pitifully.

"Ganglie! I had no choice, did I? This blood has to be fresh to work! Look, I couldn't even hold it down just now, my hand..."

"You...you...I'm not playing with you anymore!" Zhu Bajie stamped his feet and said angrily when he saw that Kongming was still unrepentant.

"Alright! Ganglie... it's all my fault. Consider this what I owe you, but I'll definitely make it up to you," Kongming coaxed Zhu Ganglie earnestly.

Zhu Ganglie has cultivated for over seventy lifetimes. On the surface, his cultivation level may not seem high, but he has already achieved an immortal body. Although his essence and blood cannot bring the dead back to life or heal flesh and bones, it is undoubtedly more than enough to cure this mere strange poison.

These are all information that Kongming obtained from the Jade Void Seal, so they can't be fake.

However, only Kongming and Zhu Bajie knew this information; Kongming didn't even intend to tell Zhao Yun.

It's not that I don't trust him, but the world is full of treacherous people, and there are bound to be some soul-searching techniques. If I were to encounter one, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As a first-order mortal, his soul is inherently weak. If this were to be revealed, Zhu Ganglie would likely be immediately captured by those top forces.

Imagine, with such precious flesh and blood, how could those people not be greedy...

As for what level Zhu Ganglie was at, Kongming didn't have a definitive answer for the time being, but his physical body was truly resilient.

Zhao Yun couldn't do anything to it back then, and now Kongming is in the same boat. He just used all his strength to barely pierce its skin, leaving a wound the size of a grain of rice...

After some reassurance, Zhu Bajie slowly got the hang of it, but this time he confidently declared that he wanted to see the three thousand beauties of the harem, and of course, Kongming was also very certain of it.

Three days passed quickly, and on this day, Tie Muzhen personally arrived at the place where Kongming was refining elixirs.

"Master Ma, was the elixir successfully refined?" Emperor Yuan jumped down from his flying spirit beast and asked anxiously.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived just in time! Fortunately, he has fulfilled his mission, and the elixir is ready."

"Excellent! If the Crown Prince can be cured this time, I will certainly reward you handsomely!"

"Of course! Of course! Let's not delay, let's set off immediately!" Kongming urged, waving his feather fan.

After saying that, the three of them rode their flying spirit beasts straight to the Crown Prince's palace.

The imperial physicians had been waiting in the Crown Prince's palace for a long time. When they saw Tie Muzhen and Kongming arrive, they all knelt down and paid their respects.

"You all had better pray that Master Ma can cure the Crown Prince, or you'll be buried with him!" Tie Muzhen stared at the group of imperial physicians and said sternly.

Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians were terrified. Over the years, they had seen too many so-called extraordinary people, none of whom could cure the crown prince, and many had even lost their lives in the process.

These imperial physicians cursed Kongming inwardly for talking nonsense and bragging. He had powerful backers, so they didn't have to worry about the Emperor Yuan wanting to kill him, but it was the physicians who suffered the most.

Kongming waved his feather fan and walked to the bedside. He saw the Crown Prince lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper and his body as stiff as ice.

He sighed softly, placed a blood-red pill in his palm, and then put it into the prince's mouth.

The elixir entered his body and instantly transformed into a warm current, flowing along the prince's meridians. Under the influence of this warm current, his originally cold body gradually regained some temperature, and his complexion became a little rosier than before.

"Hey! It works!"

A royal physician looked up at the crown prince on his sickbed.

"It's too early to be happy! Some immortal masters have seen similar scenes when they cast spells before, but what was the result?" another imperial physician whispered.

Sure enough, after a short while, the crown prince's face turned pale again, and his body slowly stiffened.

"Master Ma, this..." Yuan Huang asked with concern.

"This illness is no small matter. It will take considerable effort to completely eradicate it. Your Majesty, please be patient," Kongming said in a deep voice.

Then she took out another pill, but the result was the same.

The group of imperial physicians were already sweating profusely. These days of having their lives hanging by a thread were really tough. They were filled with anxiety, fearing that they would be dragged out to be buried alive with the dead at any moment.

At this moment, Emperor Yuan's expression also became solemn. He looked at Kongming with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"What the hell went wrong? This shouldn't be happening!" Kongming clutched the last pill, his heart pounding with anxiety.

"Is the portion not enough?"

Kongming glanced at Zhu Bajie beside him. If there weren't so many people around, he would have liked to hold him down again and draw some blood.

Seeing this, Kongming sat cross-legged beside the bed, formed hand seals, and began to activate the magic power within his body. Starlight once again emerged from his body.

These starlight swirled around the prince's body before entering it and neutralizing the effects of the medicine.

Kongming hesitated for a moment, then took out the last pill and put it into the prince's mouth again.

Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, it was late at night. The starlight around Kongming shone even brighter, and the Crown Prince's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.

Finally, a soft groan startled everyone present...
