Chapter 60 Shameless You Yuncongxin
Yun Congxin hesitated for a moment while holding the cold jade box, but decided to eat it herself.
Yun Congxin believed that the timeline had been altered. Since the Three Visits to Yunlan Sect had ceased, Yao Lao wouldn't have been captured, and Xiao Yan wouldn't have been severely injured by Zhaixing Laogui. Given Xiao Yan's shrewdness and Yao Lao's experience, the perilous situation requiring a life-for-life exchange, as depicted in the original story, was unlikely to recur.
Well, it's definitely not because he's afraid of dying and wants to give himself an extra layer of resurrection armor...
Yun Congxin flicked his finger, and a surge of pale blue wind-attribute battle qi erupted, isolating the entire room.
He opened the Jade Box, and the golden light emanating from the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill immediately shot into the sky, accompanied by a resounding dragon roar. Fortunately, he had made prior arrangements, and all of this was intercepted by the wind barrier, without revealing a single sound.
Yun Congxin picked up the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill and couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two lifelike dragons inside.
"I searched high and low without finding it, but it came to me effortlessly." With it, when the Izumo Empire launched a major invasion in the future, even when facing Yan Luotian, a mere two-star Dou Zong, I would feel much more at ease.
The pill entered the mouth and immediately transformed into a stream of scorching energy that slid down the esophagus. Before it even reached the abdomen, it remained motionless, leaving only a slight warmth to confirm that the pill had been swallowed.
Yes, the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill is indeed that unassuming. If it weren't for the need to prevent counterfeits and ensure that those who take the pill would be aware of its authenticity, the old master probably wouldn't have even added this much heat when he created the pill.
"You...you just ate it like that?"
As the wind barrier dissipated, Elder Qing stared blankly at the empty Cold Jade Box in Yun Congxin's hand and asked.
Yun Congxin gave her a strange look: "Otherwise what?"
"Don't you feel anything at all? Like, do you need to refine it or something..."
Yun Congxin sensed it carefully, then shook his head: "No."
"Could we have been fooled? They said this thing has a chance of breaking and then rebuilding, but it's probably just a silver spear with a wax tip..." Elder Qing frowned, looked at her severed arm, and smiled bitterly.
Yun Congxin glanced sympathetically at Elder Qing's severed arm. To regenerate an arm, it would probably require at least a mid-grade seventh-rank pill.
"Alright, you should heal your injuries first. This is a fourth-grade elixir, Marrow Nourishing Liquid. Put a drop in your bathwater and let it absorb slowly; it will benefit your injuries." Yun Congxin tossed her a jade bottle. "Once your injuries are almost healed, you can teach me that Earth-rank combat technique."
Elder Qing's expression stiffened: "You've already taken the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, and you still want a Di-rank combat skill?"
Yun Congxin said very confidently, "Of course. The Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill is my reward for protecting you back to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and the Earth-Rank Battle Technique is my way of thanking you for saving your life from Fan Lao. One thing at a time."
Elder Qing: ......
Although I was very angry, I really had no way to refute it.
"Alright, it's getting late, come with me," Yun Congxin said.
"Where...where to?"
"Go see someone; he'll be protecting you tonight," Yun Congxin said, handing her a storage ring containing an ice silk mask and a black robe. "I need to go back and take care of some things to put an end to this farce."
Elder Qing was completely baffled, but he still accepted the ring from Yun Congxin and, with Yun Congxin's help, put on the Ice Silk Mask.
The ice silk mask quickly adhered to Elder Qing's skin, causing subtle changes in her appearance and temperament.
If she was alluring like a snake spirit before, then she is now gentle and graceful, looking like a virtuous wife.
"Let's go." After putting the black robe on Elder Qing again, Yun Congxin carried her on his back once more and then soared into the sky.
"No way, not again!?"
On the other side, the mountain rift valley appears as if it were cleaved by a sword, its sharp angles dividing a high mountain into two parts, the smoothness of the cross-section astonishing.
It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high; the darkness was so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. Yet, on the path through the rift valley, faint, pale blue flames flickered, like will-o'-the-wisps.
Xiao Yan was counting his spoils of war here, surrounded by corpses lying in disarray.
"I didn't expect to get the Three Thousand Thunderbolts on the side, what good luck!" Xiao Yan also rummaged through Fan Ling's storage ring and found many fifth-grade pills, as well as the flying combat skill Thunder Bat Wings. "A very fruitful trip, well worth it..."
"Little guy, Sect Master Yun is coming this way, and he has a Dou Huang expert with him. I can't show myself, so you'll have to deal with him yourself." Yao Lao, who was counting the spoils of war with Xiao Yan, suddenly looked up at the dark night sky. He quickly disappeared back into his storage ring, and his faint voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.
"Oh, you've come back with a full load, haven't you?" Three breaths later, Yun Congxin descended from the sky and said jokingly.
Seeing Xiao Yan still holding the Earth-rank Dou Technique with a somewhat stiff expression, Yun Congxin smiled and waved his hand: "Put it away, put it away, put away your spoils. Aren't you afraid someone will have bad intentions if you show it off like this..."
"This is... Three Thousand Thunderclaps? You killed the people from the Black Skull Tomb!" Elder Qing exclaimed in surprise, "With your strength as a Great Dou Master?"
"Don't underestimate him. He possesses a strange fire and his methods are extraordinary. If we're really talking about it, even you might not be his match right now." Yun Congxin introduced with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is Elder Qing of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, a Dou Huang powerhouse. This is Yun Xiao, my disciple."
"That old bastard is shameless! He always claims my disciple is his!" Yao Lao's indignant voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.
Xiao Yan awkwardly touched his nose, cupped his hands in greeting, and followed Yun Congxin's words, making up a story: "This humble one, Yun Xiao, greets Elder Qing."
The people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, including Qing Lin, were the ones who kidnapped her. I don't know what happened to her now.
Xiao Yan made up his mind to subtly inquire about the situation. If the Heavenly Serpent Mansion shared the same idea as Mo Cheng, he would risk his life to cause them trouble.
Sensing Xiao Yan's surging emotions, Yao Lao said calmly, "Don't worry, little guy. The Heavenly Serpent Manor isn't the Mo Clan; they're fairly upright. Qing Lin, in their eyes, would at least be a personal disciple of some old man..."
"Alright, now that we've all met, Yun Xiao, Elder Qing is seriously injured and needs an alchemist to help her recover. Could you lend her a hand?" Yun Congxin said seriously. "Besides, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion made quite a fuss about bidding for the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill. Although the pill has already been snatched away by Fan Lao of the Blood Sect, others will still come knocking on our door."
"I need to go back and take care of some matters related to the Eight Doors. I need you to protect her for a while. I'll come back to you before sunset tomorrow at the latest."
After saying that, he patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, then flapped his Dou Qi to form wings and flew away.
Xiao Yan: ?
Elder Qing: !
"Jia Xingshan, you shameless scoundrel! You only let a Grand Master protect me? Is he protecting me or am I protecting him?!"
Elder Qing's roar echoed between the narrow mountain walls.
