Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos-Chapter 311 - 148: Rollercoaster Illness, Arrival of Auspicious Signs
The third day of autumn, early morning.
Waking up, Yi Tian felt his illness had worsened again.
Chest tightness, a sore throat, body aches and weakness—all these symptoms that Purple Phoenix Moon Dance mentioned were manifesting in Yi Tian.
The unpredictable ups and downs of the illness left Yi Tian completely baffled.
There were quite a few healing items in the territory; he’d have to try them all one by one later, especially Liyue’s Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine.
Yi Tian remembered that at the beginning of last month, the "avian flu" was cured with the Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine.
But this plague was way too strange.
Another batch of tea leaves finished roasting, and Yi Tian packed them into a tea jar.
He swapped out for a new S-level Beast Core and used fresh leaves to make tea again.
Even while sick, cultivation couldn’t stop.
Strength +1, Constitution +2, Spiritual Power +2.
This morning, Yi Tian drank the Enlightenment Tea he had prepared.
The effect was obviously different.
He could stay in the Unity of Heaven and Man state even longer, and his insights into deeper understanding were even stronger.
At this rate, Yi Tian felt he could achieve Great Success in the World-Edge Sword within ten days.
As for Celestial Flame Palm and Celestial Ice Palm, one set a day, perfect completion was still a long way off.
Yi Tian considered whether he should spare some time at night to practice Celestial Flame Palm, and practice Celestial Ice Palm during the day.
Otherwise, progress was just too slow!
"Since I started practicing martial arts, my body’s felt worse and worse. I can only unleash sixty percent of my combat power."
Yi Tian panted, sweat dripping from his forehead. When had anything like this ever happened to him before?
"Daddy! Liyue’s calling you home for dinner."
Fourth Child, holding a giant drumstick, wasn’t watching where she was going as she kept her eyes glued to the drumstick, wobbling her way from afar to the Martial Arts Arena and calling out to Yi Tian.
"Fourth Child, don’t come over! Dad caught the plague. Just help Dad put some Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine over there, that’s enough."
Yi Tian called back to Fourth Child.
"Daddy, what’s a plague?"
Fourth Child wasn’t listening at all and kept walking towards Yi Tian, oblivious.
"Stop, stop, stop! Be good—when there’s time, Dad’ll buy you the world’s tastiest treats from the auction house." Yi Tian hurriedly tried to make her stop.
If infection was unavoidable,
Yi Tian absolutely didn’t want the virus to originate from himself.
"Okay, hehe, Fourth Child will be good."
Fourth Child beamed; her eyes looked like crescent moons, her long lashes fluttering—among the seven Little Kiddos, she was the liveliest and cutest.
She knew Dad never lied; the stuff he bought from that little stone was always the best tasting.
Even the big drumstick wasn’t enticing anymore; Fourth Child hopped back to the villa and grabbed a cup of Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine for Dad along with another drumstick and a few eggs.
Uh, the eggs were from a chicken. The "big drumstick" was actually a fish-eating stork’s leg.
"Daddy, here you go!"
She carried the big plate over and put everything where Yi Tian had specified,
"Good, sweet Fourth Child, go play now!"
Yi Tian said to Fourth Child.
At this moment, Fourth Child listened to Yi Tian obediently and skipped away again.
Yi Tian brought the plate and the cup of Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine up to the Martial Arts Arena.
He didn’t have much appetite and didn’t feel like eating.
He picked up the cup and downed the Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine in one go.
As he drank it, Yi Tian felt a wave of comfort flood his whole body.
After one cup, he felt he wanted more.
Soon, Yi Tian noticed his sore throat had vanished, the tightness in his chest was gone, and his combat power was on the way back up—immediate results!
"It really works!"
Yi Tian was delighted.
No wonder it’s High-Level Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine; it really does cure all diseases.
In a few days, when Liyue finishes brewing the highest-grade Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine, he wonders what that’ll be like?
One minute later, Yi Tian had recovered completely, his combat power back at its peak.
After a serious illness, he felt light as a feather and his appetite soared.
Within minutes, Yi Tian demolished the "big drumstick" slathered in Hundred Flowers Spirit Honey.
Yi Tian began to use the Celestial Human Body Refining Skill and continued training in the Martial Arts Arena.
Ten minutes later...
"Damn! What’s going on, it’s happening again."
After cycling through a few rounds of Circulation, a wave of weakness hit Yi Tian.
This felt just like yesterday night, when he was fighting the challenger.
"Did I not get rid of the root of the illness?"
Yi Tian stopped cultivating and was totally dumbfounded!
Just now, he was obviously in peak condition.
What the hell was happening?
It was clear that only the weakness had come now—the other unpleasant symptoms would follow soon enough.
He absolutely couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Time reached ten in the morning!
A flock of birds broke through the mist at the western edge of the territory and flew straight in.
"Dad, something’s happened! A whole flock of birds just flew in from the west!"
Second Child ran over as he shouted to Yi Tian.
Birds entering the territory meant the plague would arrive right on schedule.
"Second Child, don’t come over yet—the situation’s under control!"
With that, Yi Tian ran off alone to the west, leaving Second Child feeling a little annoyed.
He wanted to see what was up with those birds in the west.
At the western wall, Yi Tian whistled to summon Little Black over.
By the way, even ferocious beasts could catch the plague—even Purple Phoenix Moon Dance’s Star Beast had gotten infected.
"Caw!"
Yi Tian leaped onto Little Black, and Little Black took off.
The sky was clear for thousands of miles; the whole territory was laid out before Yi Tian’s eyes.
But as soon as he left the city walls, the chest tightness returned—a sign that the illness was getting worse.
Yi Tian couldn’t figure it out—the illness was getting worse that quickly?
Little Black was fast, and they soon met the incoming flock of birds head-on.
The birds, all kinds of brilliant colors, numbered one hundred and eight species and over a thousand in total.
When they saw the Eastsea Falcon, they were terrified and scattered far away, chirping in panic.
But they didn’t change course, just made a detour and continued flying into the territory.
Yi Tian’s territory was their unwavering flight path.
Yi Tian left them be, keeping Little Black over a hundred meters away from them.
"White Swallow, auspicious bird—Strength 10, Constitution 20, Agility 80."
He first scanned a graceful white swallow with the Celestial Dao Stone.
