The Quanzhen Seven were stunned, their minds reeling.
From just a few words, they pieced together the story. Ten years ago, at the foot of Mount Hua, their master and Zhang Sanfeng had found the baby who would become the Little Immortal.
But in the end, Zhang Sanfeng had taken him to Wudang.
The thought filled them with immense regret. If only the Little Immortal had been their junior brother…
Ning Changge smiled. Some things didn’t need to be said aloud. He and Wang Chongyang understood each other’s thoughts.
It was good to have this bond.
Ning Changge could see that Wang Chongyang was also a peerless talent. Given time, he could ascend to the Land Immortal realm, as long as he had healed the hidden wounds in his body.
Yes, Wang Chongyang had hidden injuries. Without them, with his talent, he would have already reached the ninth level of the Heaven-Man realm in the past ten years.
With this in mind, Ning Changge smiled and said, “I’ve brought a small gift for Master Chongyang.”
Everyone in the hall turned to look, curious about the Little Immortal’s gift. It was bound to be extraordinary.
Ning Changge waved his hand, and two small wooden boxes appeared before them.
“This is the Jiazi Pill. Taking one will increase one’s cultivation by sixty years. However, each person can only take one.” Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novelFɪre.net
He opened the first box, revealing three black pills emitting a fragrant aroma.
The Quanzhen Seven were stunned, their breathing quickening. Sixty years of cultivation from a single pill? What kind of miraculous effect was that?
In the Jianghu, this was undoubtedly a treasure among treasures!
At that moment, they understood why the Wudang disciples were so powerful. With such divine pills, even a mediocre person could become a martial arts expert.
Wang Chongyang was also surprised and touched. The Jiazi Pill was of no use to him, but it would greatly benefit his disciples. Ning Changge had clearly considered the Quanzhen Sect’s current predicament—its lack of young talent.
Wang Chongyang felt ashamed. “Such a generous gift… I truly don’t deserve it. I had no idea you were skilled in alchemy as well.”
Ning Changge smiled. “I know a little. Please, Master Chongyang, accept it as a token of gratitude.”
He opened the second box. “This is the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill. It has miraculous effects for healing internal injuries and restoring one’s essence. I noticed that Master Chongyang has some hidden injuries. Perhaps this pill can help.”
The Quanzhen Seven and Zhou Botong were shocked. They hadn’t known their master (or senior brother) had such severe internal injuries.
They looked at Wang Chongyang with concern, but he was frozen in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief, which soon turned into a bitter smile.
“The rumors about your abilities were not exaggerated. I didn’t expect you to see through my hidden injuries at first glance. Your insight is truly remarkable.”
Ning Changge smiled. “It was just a guess. With your talent, you should be far beyond your current realm. Why not try the pill now? I can assist you by standing guard.”
Of course, it wasn’t a guess. With his Spirit God, Ning Changge could see everything clearly, down to the essence.
Wang Chongyang sighed. “You’re right. After I obtained the Nine Yin Manual, I tried to integrate it with my Innate Skill, but I was backlashed. At that time, Ouyang Feng came to steal the manual, and I was forced to fight, which injured my essence.”
“Over the years, it’s become a chronic illness. I was on the verge of death, but now, it seems I’ve been given a second chance, thanks to your arrival.”
His eyes were filled with emotion. “Fate is truly mysterious.”
He bowed deeply to Ning Changge. “I never expected the baby I found ten years ago to become my savior. I neither taught you nor raised you. It was mere chance that we met, and I feel unworthy of your kindness.”
Ning Changge helped him up. “There’s no need for this, Master Chongyang. Our meeting was also a matter of karma. Since you have an agreement with my master, please accept this gift without hesitation.”
The Quanzhen Seven and Zhou Botong were shocked to learn the extent of their master’s injuries. They urged him, “Master, why not try the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill? If the Little Immortal has given it to you, it must be able to heal you.”
Their eyes were filled with concern.
Ning Changge smiled as Wang Chongyang picked up the golden pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
The Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill was something Ning Changge had refined during his sword flight across the Nine Heavens, gathering a wisp of celestial wind and the most concentrated drop of morning dew each day. It had remarkable healing properties.
As Wang Chongyang swallowed the pill, he immediately felt an astonishing change. His eyes widened, causing the Quanzhen Seven and Zhou Botong to tense up.
But soon, Wang Chongyang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, activating his Innate Skill
Inside, Wang Chongyang was overwhelmed. As soon as the pill entered his throat, it seemed to transform into a breeze, penetrating his body. His long-standing injuries began to surface, and for a moment, he thought his old wounds were flaring up, fearing his end was near.
But then, he was stunned. The gentle medicinal power swept through his body and meridians, and the old injuries vanished almost instantly. The so-called source injuries were utterly powerless before this miraculous pill.
A hum of invisible energy rippled from Wang Chongyang’s body. The Quanzhen disciples, who had been watching closely, were startled but then overjoyed. They could clearly sense an unprecedented vitality and strength surging from their master, and his aura was still rising!
“Is Master… about to break through?”
“Not only has he healed, but he’s about to advance?”
