“No matter if it’s as friends or brothers, you cannot keep giving without taking anything in return; otherwise, when you have nothing left to offer, everyone will have gotten used to your contributions, and that is...” The Sword Spirit smiled gently, leaving the sentence unfinished.
Chu Yang's eyes darkened as he fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he nodded slightly.
“By the way, if they get affected by the energies of the Nine Great Elixirs in the Nine Calamity Space, will people with ulterior motives notice? What about me?” Chu Yang asked with confusion.
Chu Yang continued, “Others won’t notice me? I plan to use that energy for my cultivation, wouldn’t it be even easier for others to discover me!”
“The two cases are fundamentally different; you have the Nine Calamity Sword, which can perfectly conceal these auras. No one will notice. That’s just how it is,” the Sword Spirit said with a light smile.
“I see.” Chu Yang said, “Since there’s still time, let’s quickly refine some Ninefold Pills using these evolved Nine Great Elixirs. The more, the better.”
Chu Yang added, “Once we go up there, it’s likely that we will have to separate, so having more spiritual medicine on hand will give my brothers more protection. It will make me worry less.”
The Sword Spirit sighed lightly, seemingly reluctant, but still obeyed.
Currently, the Nine Great Elixirs could endlessly cycle through, and it could be said that they were inexhaustible. Thus, the Sword Spirit was not as stingy as before and did not drag things out. Moreover, the Sword Spirit knew how much Chu Yang valued his brothers.
If he couldn’t fully reassure him, or if he refused to refine Ninefold Pills for his brothers, Chu Yang would definitely be enraged. Even if it meant driving the Sword Spirit away, it wouldn’t be surprising...
The Sword Spirit clicked his tongue in regret. Having a master who was so deeply attached to friendship was both a blessing and a curse. This time, the Spiritual Medicine Garden would lose a large batch of resources...
...
When Chu Yang finally came up, everyone relaxed and smiled.
“Fengyue seniors, I apologize for digging a big hole in Enforcement City,” Chu Yang said candidly. “Upon arriving here, I unexpectedly discovered one of the Nine Great Elixirs. Without permission, I took it into my hands, I hope you can forgive me.”
Fengyue smiled in unison and said, “Forgive what? What’s in your hands is yours; that is your opportunity. The secrets that Enforcement City has been unable to unveil for many years have finally been revealed. It turns out that this elixir has been sustaining the spiritual vein here for 90,000 years... However, now that the Law Sovereign is gone, the martial artist levels in Nine Heavens have declined too much, and preserving that spiritual vein doesn’t hold much more significance. Besides, if you hadn’t discovered it, this divine item would have continued gathering dust, wouldn’t that be even more wasteful?”
Chu Yang smiled and said, “It’s not that exaggerated. The spiritual vein can still be used; I left some things inside to ensure that the spiritual vein won't be damaged. Also, I have a small gift for the worthy couple. It's just a token of my appreciation and may not compensate for the losses of Enforcement City. Please, don’t refuse.”
Fengyue wanted to decline again, but they saw Chu Yang extend his hand. In the center of his palm was a semi-liquid substance, enveloped in a hazy glow, which he handed over to Feng Yuru.
Just smelling this aura made Feng Yuru feel completely relaxed, and the pregnancy-related symptoms she had experienced seemed to vanish suddenly...
At the same time, Fengyue heard Chu Yang’s transmission: “This is the new energy derived from the convergence of the Nine Great Elixirs. I extracted a portion... With this, I believe it can ensure that the child in your womb will have exceptional talents, free from diseases. Moreover, once he slowly refines it all, I believe there won’t be any bottlenecks in his cultivation path, and a smooth road awaits..."
