Chu Yang spoke with deep concern: "Moreover, the nine great clans have already been slaughtered, and the Law Sovereign is unable to stop now. The horse is close to the cliff, and it's too late to rein it in. It's just like a ship that has already arrived at the River Center, too late to patch the leaks..."
Wu Zhuo City sighed: "How could I not know the risks of this trip? But if it continues like this, it has truly spiraled out of control... The entire continent is on the brink of destruction. What does my personal safety count for? I have already snatched this life back, and it is my responsibility to protect the world from the nine calamities..."
"Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, it is worth fighting for."
Chu Yang said: "I understand your intention, senior. However, if Senior Wu insists on going, you should still take this elixir before you set off."
"Elixir? What elixir? What are you talking about at this moment?" Wu Zhuo City asked.
"The Ninefold Pill," Chu Yang said earnestly. "I know that the Ninefold Pill is not unfamiliar to you, but this time, the one I am giving you is different from the one you have taken before. The previous Ninefold Pill focused on recovery... but this one can increase your current cultivation level by a hundred years..."
"Such a divine medicine exists?" Wu Zhuo City’s eyes lit up. "In that case, why should I, an old bone, take such divine medicine? I might as well give it to Le'er; her strength is still weak, and it would be a good opportunity for her to improve..."
Chu Yang smiled wryly: "Le'er can only take one, and that's already the limit... I'm afraid it will still require Senior Wu to help her with her meridians... Although Le'er has exceptional talent, she has only reached the supreme sixth rank at this point... and is not yet at the seventh rank... The efficacy of this elixir is still too powerful for her, and she will need your assistance."
"Besides, taking more of this medicine won't bring any additional benefits. If Le'er needs it in the future, I can refine more for her... I am not stingy when it comes to my sister..."
Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said: "There is one more thing. If I estimate correctly, after this battle, we will likely have to leave Nine Heavens... By then, Senior Wu will need to go up to the Nine Heavens Pavilion, venture forth to enhance strength, and prepare to meet your brothers. Given your current cultivation level, I fear..."
Before Chu Yang could finish his sentence, Wu Zhuo City was already completely moved: "No need to say more; I will take it. The war is imminent, and indeed, every bit of improvement counts."
Having settled matters with Wu Zhuo City, Chu Yang did not linger and went to find Fengyue.
Of course, to avoid the possibility that the Fengyue Couple was still busy 'exchanging pointers' or... cough, cough, whatever, Chu Yang began to cough from a distance.
"Cough, cough, cough... cough, cough... cough!"
With each step came a cough. When he reached the door, Yue Lingxue had already opened it, her handsome face flushed, and she hurriedly complained, "If you’re coming, just come! Why are you coughing like that? Are you sick? Even your cough sounds strange and carries a hint of... something..."
Inside, Feng Yuru also had a bright red face.
Clearly, both of them understood what Chu Yang was concerned about.
Faced with this embarrassing situation, Chu Yang could only touch his nose and smile bitterly. Well, I came with good intentions, and now, in your words, I not only got sick but was also accused of having... something in my cough...
I really don’t know where you heard that from... your ears are quite unique.
He wanted to argue back, but with Feng Yuru right beside her, how could Chu Yang be so presumptuous? He had to swallow this grievance for the sake of face...
After forcing a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point.
However, to Chu Yang's surprise, the Fengyue Couple candidly refused to take the elixir.
Staring at the two Ninefold Pills in Chu Yang's hand, which could make any martial artist go crazy, Yue Lingxue and Feng Yuru had complex expressions: "We cannot take this..."
