The secluded and quiet garden seemed to be frozen in an atmosphere of stillness.
Bright moonlight and the afterglow of streetlamps spilled down, illuminating the illustrated album opened by Green Hibiscus.
This was the reward Caelus had previously obtained for completing a testing mission: a reality-manifested version of all the doujinshi, illustrations, and novels drawn using the Simulated Universe's computing power.
The quality of the booklets and illustrations was extremely high. The lines outlining the figures were like gold dust ground from lapis lazuli. Sister Yaoshi's graceful and slender silhouette against the glazed celestial backdrop possessed a holy beauty, like a lotus rising unstained from the mud.
Her figure was serpentine and flawless, her thin lips slightly parted, her smile merciful—beautiful beyond compare!
Relying on the composition angles, the exquisite grasp of every inch of demeanor and expression, combined with the color pigments, it actually presented a 3D stereoscopic visual effect on the 2D paper.
It was a bit like a lenticular print where you could see different patterns when viewing from different angles. When flipping through the booklet, the characters on the page seemed to move.
The thin gauze half-covering Sister Yaoshi's face was wrapped around the lower body of Little Brat Lan. Her red lips swallowed and spat, effortlessly insta-killing him!
The willful, stubborn, and obstinate Male Little Brat Lan was suppressed by the holy Sister Yaoshi, ruthlessly sanctioned and 'trained'!
That utterly exquisite illustration made Green Hibiscus instinctively regard it as the ultimate work of art, condensing the lifelong skills of some great painter renowned throughout the galaxy!
His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and Green Hibiscus's pupils quaked madly.
"B-Brother Gin, w-what is this?"
Green Hibiscus couldn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.
Even among the members of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, even for those brothers and sisters in the organization who had mental issues from being unable to withstand the Immortal Force, absolutely no one would have imagined—or could have imagined—such an outrageous scene!
"This is the classic battle I comprehended from the Immortal Path, where My Lord Medicus suppressed and insta-killed the Demon Bow."
You call this suppression?
You call this an insta-kill?
"B-But isn't this an erotic picture? And..."
Green Hibiscus, flipping to the climax pages, stared at the magnificent Sister Yaoshi. His heartbeat faintly accelerated, and his blood seemed to be heating up.
It was too fucking absurd!
Leaving other things aside, Green Hibiscus could be one hundred percent certain that Brother Gin and Sister Vodka had absolutely no relationship with the followers of the Reignbow Arbiter.
This kind of stuff was a bit too stimulating and extreme even for the brothers and sisters of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
If a follower of the Reignbow Arbiter saw this, they would probably chase the person who drew it to the ends of the earth!
Relying on this painting alone, the hatred value of the Reignbow Arbiter's followers toward Brother Gin could be pulled to the same level as that toward the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
Facing Green Hibiscus, who was stifled into stammering, Caelus revealed a look of disappointment in his eyes and frowned with dissatisfaction.
"What are you thinking about? How can you possibly comprehend the true meaning of the Immortal Path within it if you view it with secular eyes!?"
"Hmph, just like this, you still dare to solemnly swear that you understand My Lord?"
Snatching the booklet back from Green Hibiscus's hands, Caelus pointed at the serpentine figure on the page—gentle as a mother, as a sister—and shouted with righteous indignation:
"Your purity is too low!"
"You can only see these superficial appearances."
"From inside this, can you not see My Lord's gentle mercy, selflessness, and love?"
"My Lord is the nurturer of all living beings, the God of the Happy Land, aiming to make life flourish endlessly. Do you not know this?"
Flipping the page, Caelus pointed to an illustration where Sister Yaoshi was blasted inside and impregnated by Male Little Brat Lan.
"As long as one possesses ultimate love, truth, kindness, and beauty, My Lord might be able to awaken the emotions in the heart even when facing the Demon Bow."
"Once, there was a lost soul who had strayed into the wrong path of the Demon Bow. Through comprehending this booklet of my insights into the Immortal Path, he realized the true Yaoshi's all-encompassing love!"
"He realized the narrow-mindedness of the Demon Bow's followers, forsook the darkness for the light, and believed in My Lord from then on."
"He prayed sincerely every night, and finally successfully obtained the Immortal Flower bestowed by Lord Medicus."
"Do you understand what is the true meaning of—'Granting all desires, ensuring all are met'!"
Caelus's voice gradually rose, possessing the intensity to deafen the ears and the loud cry of the evening drum and morning bell. A chest full of hot blood thundered, shaking away the wind and rain of the mortal world!
At the same time, gradient crimson feathers drifted down in Caelus's eyes.
Green Hibiscus felt as if he had been anointed with pure wisdom, instantly falling into a great contemplation of life.
Caelus wasn't using Fenghuang Down to control the other party's thoughts. He could control one, but he couldn't control them all.
The Key of Consciousness was merely an aid, just slightly amplifying and broadcasting certain thoughts in Green Hibiscus's heart.
And after Green Hibiscus began to believe, Caelus helped him stabilize a trace of his grasp on the power of the Mara-struck body.
"Granting all desires, ensuring all are..."
At this moment, a few traces of dazed fascination reappeared on Green Hibiscus's expression. He gazed seriously at the illustrated album, ignoring the buzzing of flies and croaking of frogs around him. The whole world quieted down.
"Love and mercy... Granting all desires, ensuring all are met..."
Green Hibiscus's murmuring voice revealed a hint of sudden realization. His voice gradually rose, and his whole person became excited, like attaining enlightenment at Longchang.
"I've realized it! Hahaha! The Medicine King is merciful, granting me the Dao! I've realized it—!!"
Green Hibiscus sensed it. With his sudden enlightenment, he could better control the Immortal Force (the power of the Mara-struck body)!
"Brother Gin, I've realized it!"
The Medicine King is merciful and broad-minded; He would never reject anyone's wish, even if the other party is the Demon Bow!
To influence the Demon Bow with ultimate mercy, to use the physical body to help the Demon Bow break free from hatred—this is the Medicine King's Great Love!
He is just this selfless!
With his understanding of the Medicine King's Great Love, Green Hibiscus could perceive that his grasp of the Immortal Force was getting better and better.
He was ecstatic, like a seeker of the Way who had finally found the right direction.
"Mn, it seems your comprehension isn't too bad."
Caelus revealed a smile that said 'this child is teachable' and nodded repeatedly.
"When you comprehend higher truths, you will be able to directly rely on your insights into the Immortal Path to draw upon Lord Yaoshi's mighty power and obtain the Immortal Spirit Fruit."
"You should know, to arrive at my current realm, I cultivated in seclusion for a full thousand years."
"Cultivated in seclusion for a thousand years!?" Green Hibiscus was shocked.
"What? You don't believe it?"
Caelus put his hands in his trench coat pockets and glanced sideways at Green Hibiscus.
"No, I only..."
Green Hibiscus was uncertain in his heart. On the surface, he definitely had to say he believed, but before he could speak, he felt a terrifying life force radiating from Caelus.
Rich power of creation. The plants in the garden seemed to receive nourishment, growing and flourishing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"T-This is!"
Green Hibiscus, who grasped the power of the Mara-struck body, could intuitively feel the vigorous and vast 'Immortal Force'.
"Now you believe, right?" Caelus's expression was calm and breezy.
The next second, the power of creation disappeared, leaving only the more lush plants and the white flowers blooming in the flowerbeds.
"I believe, I believe! Brother Gin—no, Lord Gin!"
Green Hibiscus almost knelt. This level of healing life force almost surpassed Lord Head!
Seemingly satisfied with Green Hibiscus's expression, Caelus nodded. "Since that's the case, I'll give this book of my insights into the Immortal Path to you."
"Give it to me?"
Green Hibiscus looked up in pleasant surprise, then thinking of something, he lowered his head.
"But, Lord Gin, this is your insight into the Immortal Path. How can I be worthy of accepting your gift?"
"It doesn't matter. I photocopied a lot. It was originally intended to be used to develop forces and find more followers for Lord Medicus."
There were still many, many booklets drawn by the Simulated Universe's computing power. Several hard drives measured in PB were lying in Caelus's spatial ring.
"Many thanks for the reward, Lord Gin!"
Having obtained the booklet, Green Hibiscus knelt directly on one knee and excitedly invited:
"My Lord, why don't you join the organization? Although I am untalented, I am willing to serve you like a dog or horse! The brothers and sisters in the organization definitely want to receive your guidance too!"
"That assessment or whatever, isn't it very troublesome?"
Stelle, who had been obediently standing aside watching Caelus-cub perform, felt she should add some drama for herself and not let Caelus-cub steal the spotlight entirely.
"Moreover, you want me and Big Brother to go to the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus as ordinary members?"
The black-clothed Stelle's expression was unkind.
"Senior Vodka, you jest."
Because of Caelus, Green Hibiscus's attitude toward Stelle also became extremely respectful.
"The assessment is for ordinary people. For seniors like Lord Gin and yourself, what assessment could there be? It would be more like you assessing us, haha."
Green Hibiscus shrugged his shoulders and smiled fawningly.
"If you two join the organization, naturally you can't be ordinary members!"
"The organization is full of the Medicine King's loyal believers. Everyone strives together to pursue the Immortal Path under the Head's leadership."
"If Lord Head knew of you two, she would definitely welcome you very happily! Lord Gin might even be able to lead us alongside Lord Head!"
Green Hibiscus's tone gradually became fanatical, as if seeing the magnificent future where the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, under the leadership of Lord Gin and Lord Head, ascended together as a sect.
"The Head of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, huh? That is indeed worth a chat. Where is he?"
Caelus looked at Green Hibiscus and asked.
Green Hibiscus maintained his humility and revealed an apologetic look.
"This... Lord Gin, although I am a veteran in the organization, I do not have the qualifications to meet the Head. Only the persons in charge of each branch can contact Lord Head."
Seeing Caelus raise an eyebrow, Green Hibiscus hurriedly continued, "But Lord Gin, you need not worry. I can take you directly to meet the person in charge of our branch, Lord Purple Rose."
"At that time, Lord Purple Rose can introduce you to Lord Head."
"Is that so? Then I'll go with you to have a look."
Caelus pretended to think, and only nodded after a few seconds amidst Green Hibiscus's hopeful expression.
"In addition, I still have some precious data in my hand that can be distributed for people to cultivate."
"Really?"
Green Hibiscus was overjoyed. "Then I will thank Lord Gin in advance on behalf of the brothers and sisters of the branch!"
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. These precious materials are not easily obtained. If you want them, you need to pay a certain price."
Caelus's expression was indifferent.
These were top-tier illustrations refined using the Simulated Universe!
Did he know how many resources the Simulated Universe used?
"I understand, I understand!"
Green Hibiscus bowed and scraped.
He would remind the brothers and sisters to show proper filial respect to Lord Gin!
With his guidance, their progress on the Immortal Path of Longevity would surely advance by a thousand miles a day!
"Mn."
Caelus nodded slightly.
"Lord Gin, Senior Vodka, I will take the two of you to meet Lord Purple Rose right now."
Green Hibiscus turned to lead the way, his steps accelerating with excitement, walking with large strides.
The brothers and sisters in the organization treated him well; this time, watch him bring back a great opportunity for them!
