Chapter 530: A Pity, Such a Pity
Ling Chuxi could tell of the progress in Fu Chengyu’s cultivation. It turns out that within this period of close to half a year they were away, he had also been promoted into the realm of Great Fulfilment. However, since his cultivation was already originally at Battle Qi Level 9 Pinnacle stage and his frost poison was solved, he could have broken through anytime, therefore, Ling Chuxi did not find this leap too odd.
What really left one surprised was that his Battle Qi and Ling Yichen’s were totally different. If one were to say that Ling Yichen’s Battle Qi was heroic, as mighty as the vast seas and the wide skies, then Fu Chengyu’s Battle Qi was as gentle as a long stream, the polar opposite from Ling Yichen’s.
“Then, you’ll have to work hard,” replied Ling Chuxi as she nodded gratefully. Such gentle Battle Qi was best for treating injuries and was far more suitable than her Thundercloud Battle Qi.
“This is something that I should do anyway,” replied Fu Chengyu as he channeled his Battle Qi into the second elder’s body.
The gentle Battle Qi flowed through the second elder’s meridians, forming an extremely thin layer of membrane that was gentle and light, yet flexible to protect his meridians.
The shade of pain that appeared on the second elder’s face slowly disappeared and his breath became calmer and more steady.
“Chuxi?” murmured the second elder as he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen together with Fu Chengyu and the rest standing behind her, he felt as if a lifetime had passed.
“Second Brother, are you all right?” asked the fifth elder delightedly as he stepped forward to hold the second elder’s hand. This rugged and straightforward fifth elder of the Ling family had hot tears around the rims of his eyes just like a child would at this moment. Half a year, after half a year, the second elder finally woke up. The taste of such a long wait for this to happen during this period of time was so tormenting.
“Old Five, what is going on? I remembered that I was severely injured, wasn’t I?” asked the second elder confusedly. Since he was in a coma for close to half a year, his memories were still stuck at the moment he was injured.
He himself was well-versed in medical skills and knew that such a serious injury was one that would have left even the golden immortal who descended to the earth unable to do anything about it except succumb. However, at this moment, his life vitality was brimming and he was in an even better condition than he was before he was wounded. The second elder was temporarily surprised and confused at the same time.
“Second Elder Brother, this time it’s all thanks to Little Chuxi. First, it was her master who helped you to seal your heart and meridians, and then, Little Chuxi went to Rejuvenation Valley to find the Crisis Reverse Pill for you. Otherwise, I’m afraid that us two brothers would never have had the chance to meet again,” explained the fifth elder with a sniffle and a sigh. There was pride in his tone. Little Chuxi had really managed to get the Crisis Reverse Pill, a legendary top tier pill, in just half a year.
“Rejuvenation Valley!” exclaimed the second elder excitedly with both surprise and yearning as he looked at Ling Chuxi. “Chuxi, did you met with those divine doctors with wonderful skills?”
“Yes, Second Elder. Do you also know them?” asked Ling Chuxi, a little surprised. Seeing the second elder’s slightly starry eyes, the corners of Ling Chuxi’s lips twitched slightly in an unnatural manner. What was going on with that yearning look of his?
“I have only heard other people mentioning it. A clan of divine doctors with wonderful skills live in seclusion in Rejuvenation Valley, I’ve heard so much about them but I have never had the fate to meet them. I never thought that not only would you manage to meet them, you even managed to request for and brought back a Crisis Reverse Pill. It is such a pity that such a good pill was wasted on my old bones,” continued the second elder with a sense of yearning, loss and a little regret.
“Second Elder, as long as I am able to save you, what does a mere Crisis Reverse Pill matter?” said Ling Chuxi seriously as she looked at the second elder. Since the second elder held such an important place in Ling Chuxi’s heart, naturally a single Crisis Reverse Pill was nothing much to her as compared to his life.
“Chuxi ah, I really don’t know what to say of you. The Crisis Reverse Pill is a legendary sacred pill that can cure many injuries, how is it that in your mouth it becomes a ‘mere pill’?” asked the second elder as he shook his head and gave a bitter laugh. His heart contained feelings of pity and regret. Such a legendary sacred pill was used just like that on his body. It was a pity, such a pity.
