Chu Yang bitterly smiled, "If you knew what I went through to become this monster, you wouldn't be surprised."
Chu Xiaoxin smiled lightly, "If it were innate, I wouldn't think much of it. Every extraordinary talent must endure trials and tribulations to achieve greatness."
"Members of noble families receive education from a young age that far surpasses yours, whether in demeanor, temperament, or strategies. But you must remember one thing: true heroes reveal their true colors in the face of life and death!"
Chu Xiaoxin chuckled and said, "So, without facing death, how can one see a person's true courage and confidence? If you wish to compete with the nine great clans, life and death determine victory or defeat."
Chu Yang silently nodded.
He fully understood what Chu Xiaoxin meant by "victory and defeat lie between life and death."
This did not refer to the brevity of time.
Rather, it indicated the crucial factors for victory or the key points to defeating an enemy.
Chu Yang excused himself to leave, and Chu Xiaoxin did not try to keep him.
Just as he was about to step out the door, she quietly said, "Even with experience, one may not gain such insight. Even with insight, one may not possess such ability."
Chu Yang paused, forcing a bitter smile, "Because I consider myself a man. A man should be able to bear the weight. A man should be able to take on challenges."
Chu Xiaoxin sighed deeply.
"In some time, I will go out to train," Chu Yang quietly said. "So, if something happens... I might not be able to return. Also, Father and Fourth Uncle have already left, and Third Uncle has yet to return... I will use heavenly star wood to create a medicine that enhances cultivation. At that time, I would like you, Ancestral Patriarch, to protect and enhance them."
Chu Xiaoxin slowly nodded.
Chu Yang sighed in relief, having set aside his greatest worry, and walked out.
Having Chu Xiaoxin protect them is certainly much safer than using my medical skills, as the supreme's spiritual power constantly monitors the changes within the pill-taker's body, making timely adjustments.
But I cannot do that!
With the heavenly star wood in hand, the Sword Spirit became busy.
...
When Chu Yang returned to the Amethyst Rejuvenation Hall, the Huang Family had been anxiously waiting. Upon seeing Chu Yang arrive, they were overjoyed.
"Where's your medicine? Let me take a look." The divine doctor Chu said cheerfully.
"Here it is." Bai Wuji uncovered a piece of white cotton cloth, revealing a patch of purple light, with the floor made of Amethyst and a quilt also made of Amethyst, in the center lay the Nine Absolute Vine, Nine Dead No Life Water, and Nine Lives Pangolin.
"Not bad." Chu Yang examined the three medicinal herbs closely and asked, "Has your final consultation fee arrived? If so, we must begin treatment immediately."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Huang Family exchanged glances, perplexed.
The Huang Family had been plagued by war recently; when would they have the time to send the divine doctor his fee? Chu Yang bringing this up was truly an unexpected strike.
Huang Xialiu's face turned ashen.
"Not... not yet..." Huang Xialiu stammered, her body trembling slightly. Recently, she felt her body gradually recovering, and her vigor was slowly returning. She was excited!
But suddenly hearing this, it felt like falling into an icy pit.
If you don't pay... who will treat you?
Chu Yang sighed and said, "Forget it. Young Master Huang has been staying here with me, and I quite like that..." As he said this, Chu Le'er immediately covered her mouth.
You never showed any signs of liking him other than messing with him...
"This cutting off descendants and grandchildren technique is exceedingly difficult to heal. First, use bitterness to clear the intestines and stomach, adjust the meridians, and calm the spirit; then use stench to provoke the reaction of the yin poison, gathering it together. Lastly, use sourness to expel this yin poison from the body. These three steps are absolutely worse than death!"
