CHAPTER 94: Son? You Can’t Just Say That!
As he spoke, Chu Feiling took out a purple jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Yang Ruolan with great care. “Take this, it’s a heartfelt gift from my sworn brother.”
Yang Ruolan held the jade bottle in her hand and immediately felt a sense of comfort and ease. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “What a great thing… Your sworn brother really cares for you.”
“Indeed, my sworn brother has treated me, Chu Feiling, with immense kindness!” Chu Feiling sighed and continued, “Besides this, he also gave us two elixirs. According to him, as long as you don’t get your head chopped off on the spot, taking this elixir can bring you back to life! And he also gave us a bottle of medicine that can completely conceal one’s true vital energy fluctuations, making it impossible for anyone to see through our facade…”
Yang Ruolan was so shocked that she couldn’t find her voice. These were things she had never seen or heard of before!
This sworn brother had actually given so much?
“Also, my sworn brother gifted you a sword and a treasured sword to me,” Chu Feiling carefully took out the sword and treasured sword. “I’ve tested them; they truly cut through iron like mud, at least ten times better than my original sword! You could say, aside from the few prized swords and blades of the nine great clans, this is the sharpest divine weapon I have ever seen!”
He took a deep breath. “Even the precious swords of the nine great sovereign families are only a few per family, passed down from our ancestors. They have become sacred relics of their respective families, and it’s rare for anyone to even see them…”
Yang Ruolan had already picked up the sword and, upon unsheathing it, felt a chilling glow, resembling a pool of autumn water reflecting the myriad forms of the world.
The weight, length, and style were all perfect! She couldn’t help but marvel, “Your sworn brother is truly talented. It’s rare to find a sword that fits me so well.”
“My sworn brother is a talented prodigy; I really don’t know if there’s anything he doesn’t know,” Chu Feiling said proudly.
Yang Ruolan replied, “Your sworn brother cares for you so deeply. Feiling, you must not let him down! Even just a single item is a tremendous kindness.”
“Of course!” Chu Feiling affirmed. “You should take the medicine now. According to my sworn brother, this medicine only works for those above imperial level. Below that, it won’t have any effect at all.”
Yang Ruolan nodded and carefully opened the purple jade bottle, pouring out a colorful pill. Suddenly, a rich and strange fragrance spread through the air. Not daring to delay, she quickly put it in her mouth.
As she swallowed it, she felt countless spiritual energies transforming into pure vital energy, rushing toward her limbs and bones… Unable to suppress a soft moan, she was soon swept into a mysterious state by the potent effects of the medicine…
When Yang Ruolan woke up, it was already evening, and the lights were just coming on.
Chu Feiling had been guarding her side all the while, not daring to move.
Yang Ruolan opened her eyes and circulated her vital energy, suddenly feeling that the several bottlenecks within her body, which had always been insurmountable, had now burst open. Her spirit was clear and transparent, and many profound truths that she had previously not understood were now suddenly comprehensible. From her soul to her body, she felt an unparalleled lightness!
And her cultivation level had sharply increased!
“Amazing!” Yang Ruolan looked at her cultivation level in shock, swallowing hard. “I’m actually now… at the imperial throne seventh rank…”
She extended her hand, condensing vital energy, and suddenly seven oval-shaped pure white circles appeared above her palm. She was taken aback, saying, “My mental state has also reached lord-level ninth rank!”
As if in a dream, she stood up and pinched her arm hard, stunned. “Is this real? Is it really real?”
