Chapter 450: Divine Valor Pill
September 25, 2017
After a year apart, Lu HaiKong's reunion with Zhao YueEr seemed rather uneventful.
The two exchanged simple greetings and then led their troops back to Qiang Yin.
Along the way, they chatted casually, catching up on each other's recent affairs.
It was a very calm encounter, seemingly devoid of the emotion one would expect from a reunion after a long separation. However, their interaction carried a subtle hint of something beyond romance, a leisurely warmth that lingered between them.
In contrast to the relaxed atmosphere between these two, Wang Yue's situation was far more miserable. He was shackled from head to toe with fine iron chains, and under the strict surveillance of Dian Wei and Pan Feng, he was escorted back to Qiang Yin.
Despite Wang Yue's predicament, Lu HaiKong didn't harbor any thoughts of forcing him to immediately submit.
Lu HaiKong was well aware that even if he managed to capture such a top-tier warrior general, it wouldn't be easy to persuade him to join his side. He had prepared himself for a prolonged battle.
Lu HaiKong had even arranged for Gong Sun, the old blacksmith, to forge a set of handcuffs and leg irons from meteorites.
Although Wang Yue was in a pitiful state, he maintained a positive attitude towards Lu HaiKong, as if treating him like an old friend with warmth and enthusiasm.
However, Wang Yue, who had just been beaten up, didn't show any signs of gratitude. He had realized that Lu HaiKong wanted to recruit him, and in this situation, his life was guaranteed, so he started to put on airs.
If it were an ordinary person, acting arrogantly at this time would be asking for trouble, but Wang Yue was different. He was a top-tier warrior general and had the right to act this way.
After more than half an hour, Lu HaiKong and his group finally returned to Qiang Yin.
Upon their arrival, Lu HaiKong ordered his men to secure Wang Yue and prepare a meal. Just as he was about to treat Zhao YueEr to a feast, that girl left, saying she was going to look for Ye Wu, and then disappeared again.
Lu HaiKong felt a bit disappointed that he hadn't had the chance to properly host his friend after a year apart, but he wasn't overly upset. Perhaps he had become accustomed to her free-spirited nature, so he didn't notice Zhao YueEr's unusual behavior during the journey.
However, just as Wang Yue's situation was resolved, Zhao YueEr disappeared again. Lu HaiKong decided to take out the item obtained from opening Zhang Daoyi's mythical treasure chest.
Lu HaiKong had never opened a mythical treasure chest before, and he was curious about what it might contain. Moreover, this particular chest seemed to hold a bottle of pills, which made Lu HaiKong even more excited.
"I hope this bottle of pills will help improve the health of that guy, Xi Zhicai."
Thinking of his strategist's frail physique, Lu HaiKong couldn't help but sigh.
Over the past year, Lu HaiKong had tried everything. He not only sought various medicines but also did his best to find physicians. Yet, Xi Zhicai's condition hadn't improved.
Moreover, there seemed to be a subtle deterioration, which worried Lu HaiKong. Therefore, he eagerly anticipated the effects of this pill.
Lu HaiKong, with a hint of anticipation, cast an Appraisal Technique on the bottle of pills, revealing their attributes.
When Lu HaiKong saw the effects of the pills, his feelings were mixed. He was pleased with the pill's powerful effects but also slightly disappointed that it wasn't the type he had hoped for.
Divine Valor Pill (Pill)
Grade: Mythic
Description: A mythical pill sought after by warriors across the land. Its origin is unknown, and it can be consumed directly.
After consumption, it significantly enhances combat strength without any side effects.
Note: This pill can directly break through the Combat Strength 90 barrier, ignoring talent and with no side effects.
It's no wonder this is something that came out of a mythical-level treasure chest. This thing is almost equivalent to a warrior with a Combat Strength above 90, although it's not the kind that Lu HaiKong was hoping for—a pill to help Xi Zhicai strengthen his body. Still, its value is undoubtedly high.
"Should I be delighted or regretful?"
……………………
As Lu HaiKong opened the treasure chest, in a residence within the Qiang Yin region, Zhao YueEr, who had just left Lu HaiKong's side, now lay on a bed with a pale face.
It was hard to imagine that half an hour ago, this woman who had surpassed Wang Yue, now appeared so frail.
And by her side was Ye Wu, a masked person somewhat familiar to Lu HaiKong.
Ye Wu carefully helped Zhao YueEr up and fed her a pill.
"Big Sis, I've told you countless times, don't push yourself so hard. You never listen. Now, your Combat Strength has increased, but you've pushed your body to this state. You'll have to lie in bed for several days if you use all your strength. If you keep going like this, you'll be finished."
In a 6, a 9, a book, a bar, a look, no mistake version!
After feeding Zhao YueEr the pill, Ye Wu gently put her down, muttering to herself, clearly heartbroken.
"An opponent like Wang Yue is hard to come by. If we miss this chance, I don't know if there will be another opportunity. It's worth lying in bed for a few days for an opponent like him."
"Hard to come by? Isn't he captured by Lu HaiKong? Wait for Lu HaiKong to subdue him, and you can fight him whenever you want. With your relationship with that guy, it's just a matter of saying a word, right?"
"Relationship? We're at most just friends, and not even close friends. It's troublesome to bother him, and if it's a fight, what's the point if it's not a life-or-death battle?"
Hearing Zhao YueEr's words, Ye Wu rolled her eyes, "If you're so capable, then fight and don't lie down on me!"
"I have no choice. Although my Combat Strength has broken through 90, my body's vitality and potential are almost exhausted. I can probably only live for a few more months, and that's without fighting."
Zhao YueEr's words startled Ye Wu, "Big Sis, you're joking, right? You can't say such things lightly."
"Am I joking?" Zhao YueEr replied calmly.
Ye Wu was taken aback, and after a while, her eyes turned slightly red, "Is it really that serious? Why don't we ask Lu HaiKong to think of a solution? With his current strength and influence, he should be able to find a way to help regulate your body."
"I said, he and I are just ordinary friends. It's troublesome to bother him. But if you want to buy yourself as his maid, I can consider it."
Zhao YueEr was still in the mood to tease Ye Wu, but Ye Wu was no longer in the mood for such banter.
Seeing Ye Wu's reddened eyes, Zhao YueEr became serious, "I know my body well. Even with regulation, I can't live for many years, and I can't fight, can't cultivate martial arts. Since I can't fight anymore, what's the point of regulating my body? Might as well die. After all, we're Immortals, and we each have two lives. Losing one life isn't a big deal.
I've already prepared myself. Once I recuperate, I'll find my last opponent and fight my final battle. After this life ends, I can die. I still have another life, and after rebirth, I can start anew. It's not a real death anyway. After rebirth, with a Martial Arts level of 90, I have the confidence to reach the peak!"
As Zhao YueEr spoke of death, not only was there no fear or panic, but there was only anticipation for the future, or perhaps for the martial path...
