Chapter 19

While the mistress and jack were discussing how they are going to conduct more experiments using him since his cultivation is helping him expel the poison in his body. But what they did not know was that Jason was actually going through a lot of pain and if not for the fact that his body has been refined multiple times, he would have been dead.

"Make sure he is well taken care of Jack" the mistress instructed as she gave Jason a meaningful look.

"You could have gone scout free but you just chose to get on my bad side" she said to him before sending him off and going inside the carriage to continue with her experiment.

After jack has sent him back to the other slaves, they could see it clearly on his face that he is in serious pain and one of the slaves had to go forward to ask him if he is already out of pity as he could see beads of sweat dripping down from his face.

When the slave asks if he is okay, Jason couldn't find the strength to reply since he had his mouth tightly closed as he tries to endure the pain but no matter how he tried to endure the pain, the same thing can't be said about what is happening on the inside as he could feel the poison is running rampage inside of him to the extent that he could no longer stand the pain anymore and he decided to sit down calmly while trying to expel the poison out of his body the same way one does if they have more than enough energy inside of them that their body can contain.

Quickly sitting down with his legs crossed, Jason let out a deep breath before closing his eyes as he began to meditate.

"I should be able to expel this poison out of my body with or without cultivation" he said to himself while gritting his teeth as he continued to endure the pain.

When the slaves saw him in this state, they decided to give him some space so as to not distract him from whatever he is doing. After about some minutes and he was still unable to get the poison off his body and that was when Jack instructed them to get ready for they are about to continue with their journey. Left with no choice, Jason decided to stop his meditation as they begin to leave for another location and along the way, Jason could feel his inside tearing apart and had to fall multiple times while they were on their way.

After traveling for a long time in pain, Jason finally gave up on enduring the pain as he fall down and lost consciousness which didn't escape Jack's eyes as he could hear the other slaves' voices from behind and he had to stop the carriage to go check on him and on getting to where he laying, jack places his hand beneath Jason's nose to check if he is breathing but found out that he is not and decided to check his pulse but there was nothing.

"What happened Jack, why are we stopping here" the mistress's voice came from the carriage after noticing that the carriage is no longer moving.

"Mistress, it seems like the kid can't handle the poison as well" replied Jack as he stood up while still watching the body.

"What do you mean by that, step aside and let me take a look at him" the mistress said angrily when she heard his response.

Since she decided to check on him, Jack simply went to the side so that the mistress could have enough space to herself. Getting down on her knees, the mistress had a deep frown on her face as she stare at Jason before placing two of her fingers on his neck to check his pulse but she could not get any response and decided to check his heartbeat but there was nothing and gave up on the thought that he is faking.

"I guess that our judgment is wrong once again" she said after getting up as a sigh escaped her mouth.

"And here I was thinking that he is going to be a lot different from the others" added jack with a frown as he gave the body one more look.

"We just got our hopes high for nothing" she said.

"So what are we supposed to do with the body"? Asked Jack.

"Since it has come to this, we have no choice but to leave it behind. We can't let something like this drag out down" reply the mistress angrily before storming back into the carriage but before she decided to go in, she turn to the other slaves as she said.

"Listen up you all, if you think that I'm going to let you all take a break just because one of your own is dead, then you all lied. You better go prepare yourself for my next potion".

After she was done with what she had to say, she went inside the carriage leaving the slaves to look at each other in fear as to what they should expect next from her.

"I guess I have to take back my collar then" Jack said as he took the collar off Jason's neck before going back to his post as they continue with their journey while leaving Jason's body behind.

Throughout the hot afternoon in the middle of nowhere, Jason's body was still not moving and it seems like he has died for sure but when it gets to the middle of the night, the body that has remained still for hours suddenly responds as his finger begins to move weakening and the next moment, he let out a deep breath.

"Where am I, what happened to me" was the first question that came to his mind when he gained consciousness and he begin to look around his surroundings to figure out where he was it was after some time that he remembered that he has been there before.
