My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 437 Divine Pill

But those pirate ships that did not know what they were powered by and quickly rammed towards the Ming Ting's fleet did not really hit the Ming army's flagship as imagined.

The ship cut through the rippling blue sea, dragging out long white marks, but stopped less than a hundred meters away from Liu Qingyuan's feet, the large-scale warship named "Jiang Fei".

At this moment, large areas of scarlet blood suddenly poured out from the water under the pirate dragon ship, which was about five feet wide and about thirty years long, and continued to spread to the surrounding areas.

Under the gazes of Liu Qingyuan and Li Changshou, the hull of the ship in front of them was slowly tilting downwards, and pirates wearing short shirts were jumping from the deck towards the sea with frightened faces.

It was like something terrible was chasing them in the ship.

Several figures emerged from the bloody water under the boat. Li Changshou recognized the identity of the person who was leaning against the boat behind him and covering the hideous wound on his abdomen with one hand.

"Commander Qiu!"

Qiu Luan's face was pale and bloodless at this moment.

The two Imperial Guards inserted their daggers into the deck beside them.

He held Qiu Luan's shoulders tightly with his arms.

Make sure he won't be swept away by the waves.

And as the waves around them grew scarlet, a larger and larger shadow gradually emerged from under the hull that was half submerged in the water.

When that thing comes to light over time.

Only then did Li Changshou see clearly what was in the water.

It was a huge, triangular-shaped creature with a strange human-like face on its upturned belly.

The fur all over its body is smooth and supple.

There is a faint silver light under the water.

It's just that now this treasure skin, which is enough to sell for a sky-high price in the hands of the powerful in the capital, is full of ferocious knife edges.

Looking at the gushing flesh and blood, it was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here before.

"rope!"

The shirtless forbidden soldier on Qiu Luan's left shouted to the soldiers who were taking Liu Qingyuan on the lookout on the river.

They trapped Li Changshou's body with a hemp rope soaked repeatedly in fish oil.

Pulled by Liu Qingyuan and Li Changshou, they boarded the flagship.

"poisoned?"

Li Changshou removed Qiu Luan's arm, which was tightly covering his abdomen and had begun to lose consciousness, and saw the black flesh behind it.

The Imperial Guard next to him nodded. He had clear outlines and a hideous scar on his neck that almost decapitated his head.

At this time, this man with a resolute face looked at his sick officer lying on the deck, his face full of sorrow.

His armor, wrapped in red and yellow satin, was full of knife marks.

The white leggings on his left leg vaguely revealed a faint dark red color.

Blood beads were constantly seeping out from it.

In the thrilling underwater battle just now, he was also seriously injured.

"I still have some blood from the five animals that I saved when I returned to the capital last time. I'll try to see if it has any effect."

Li Changshou carefully took out an exquisite Western crystal bottle only the size of a thumb from his arms.

The liquid inside is golden and glowing with a little bit of color.

This is the magical liquid produced by the sacrificial cup containing supreme power stored in the Longevity Palace.

For the rangers, when they have forged their will and skills in the endless trials of the world to the point of no progress.

The desire from genetic instinct will lead them to walk to the majestic palace next to the palace with the mentality of pilgrims.

And the blessing was completed under the gaze of the emperor.

Even for an ordinary person, the liquid in this bottle cannot allow him to complete the spiritual and physical sublimation like a ranger.

But it is enough to make them completely reborn and eliminate all diseases.

Li Changshou was able to come up with this, obviously because he had an unimaginable awe and respect for this legendary warrior who accompanied the emperor in his expedition to the southwest.

But when he was about to open the cork and drip the liquid on Qiu Luan's dark red lips. An arm hidden in a scarlet robe blocked him.

Li Changshou looked up and saw that it was Liu Qingyuan.

"No need to—"

Liu Qingyuan shook his head slightly and said.

He knew very well what kind of price Li Changshou would pay if he poured the Holy Grail creation that he had finally obtained in Xiyuan Martial Arts into Qiu Luan's mouth.

Maybe it’s ten or twenty years and you’re not allowed to deposit money?

Liu Qingyuan and Li Changshou had been together in Haiyan for nearly a year due to official duties, and they knew very well how difficult it was for these rangers to be promoted.

Not every ranger who reaches the point of breakthrough can be favored by the Holy Grail.

Only warriors who have passed the Xiyuan martial arts performance and are recognized by the emperor or the officials under his command can obtain one or two drops of the holy blood produced by this year's Holy Grail.

To complete the sublimation of oneself.

Liu Qingyuan didn't want this selfless warrior to pay such a price.

Liu Qingyuan took out a small box wrapped in red silk from his sleeve.

The large cabinet seal on the red wax paint above hints that there is something unusual inside.

Even for these court officials, it is an incredible treasure.

Liu Qingyuan opened the box, took out a white pill, and handed it to the Imperial Guard who helped Qiu Luan lie down on the ground.

"Give it to him."

Liu Qingyuan said while looking at the silver-blue light spots flashing on the white pills.

The Imperial Guard obviously knew what this was.

He raised his head and glanced at Liu Qingyuan, and saw that the expression of the Minister of Rites was calm, without any hint of pain.

"Thank you——"

The forbidden soldier said.

He took out the kettle in his hand and gave it to Qiu Luan.

That pill obviously has a miraculous effect on detoxifying sea creatures.

It only took a few seconds for Qiu Luan's face to turn rosy.

He coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Kindness without saying thanks!"

Qiu Luan opened his eyes and looked at the newly painted red paint on the small box next to him. He understood everything instantly.

According to legend, after the bones of shark girls were collected from smugglers in Liaodong, they were refined by Qin Tianjian and produced very few magical elixirs.

Only the imperial court's feudal officials and important officials in the capital have quotas.

Although the emperor rejected these pills and asked Qin Tianjian to separate two pills and send them to the Empress Dowager Jiang in Cining Palace.

But for the rest, even the cabinet ministers only have a share of two coins each.

If the officials of the imperial court wanted to get one, they had to take the initiative to apply to go to the barbaric land, live with the barbarians, and prepare for the imperial court to enfeoff the kings in the future, in order to exchange one.

And local officials even had to exchange all kinds of rare treasures from the court.

Liu Qingyuan was still a small supervisory censor a year ago.

In exchange for this magical elixir, I don't know what price he paid.

Qiu Luan thought in his heart.

At this time, as the medicine spread, he was able to stand up from the ground.

On the one hand, Qiu Luan was amazed at the magic of this thing, on the other hand, he thanked Liu Qingyuan.
