The two quickly cleaned up the battlefield and collected so Great Void relics. Chenzhou put away the Dog Ghost, carried his senior brother, and left the valley with Sister Hong.
Compared to their arrival, the way back was much easier.
After departing from the valley, Sister Hong took out a dark green pill exuding a strong dicinal fragrance and leapt in front of Lu Chenzhou. She looked at the pale-faced Wang Xian, using her hand to open his dry lips.
Chenzhou asked,
"Sister, what is this?"
Sister Hong, with a heart aching beyond asure, calmly said,
"Returning God Pill, 20 million each. This is a Great dicine refined from the essence of the ’Xuan Grade Earth Treasure’ known as the Immortal Emperor Grass. Though it cannot regenerate bones from scratch, when taken in conjunction with a Grandmaster’s physique, it can rapidly heal piercing wounds and replenish depleted Qi-Blood."
Chenzhou replied,
"Thank you, I’ll transfer the money to you when I get back."
Sister Hong smiled,
"Just put it on your senior brother’s account. Don’t stress too much. Training in the Void Realm is inherently fraught with peril. Wang Xian was prepared for this even before he ca. Besides, he was also committed to fulfilling the promise to our master, to bring you back safely."
Chenzhou set his senior brother down on the ground. After taking the Returning God Pill, a vast green power flowed like a river of spring water through Wang Xian’s battered body. In his Inner Scenery Land, the Life Spring spouted violently under the stimulation.
As his heartbeat throbbed, the Martial Artist’s body roared like a machine starting back up. Ordinary injuries were healed instantaneously, and even at the cross-sections of more severe wounds, new flesh grew slowly and knitted together.
Sister Hong said,
"Judging by the situation, Wang Xian should fully recover within a month. This guy’s body is already near the limit of breaking through the Third Shackles, which is why he could withstand the side effects of burning Qi-Blood for so long. A regular master would have already perished from exhaustion."
Chenzhou couldn’t help but remark,
"What a powerful effect."
Once he had the money, he would always carry at least ten Returning God Pills with him.
In ancient tis, these would have been considered life-saving divine dicine!
Sister Hong added,
"This is still with a diluted potency. If one were to directly consu the Immortal Emperor Grass, with Wang Xian’s physique, these injuries would heal in three days. Even if one were missing limbs, they could grow back under its effect within three to five years."
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures truly held imnse power.
Unfortunately, even Yellow Grade Treasures were rare, let alone Xuan Grade, which were highly coveted by Grandmasters. The very thought of Heaven and Earth Grade treasures was unimaginable.
Generally speaking, Xuan Grade and Yellow Grade together were called Earth Treasures.
Heaven and Earth Grades were known as Heavenly Materials and Heavenly dicines.
The appearance of such Heavenly Materials and dicines was a sensation in the Martial Arts World.
As the dicinal power seeped into his body, Wang Xian’s pale face quickly regained its color. Coming out of his feigned death Turtle Breath state, he spat out a mouthful of stale blood and looked around.
Opening his eyes, he saw his junior brother’s youthful face.
"Senior brother, are you alright now?"
Sister Hong also stood with her arms crossed, speaking indifferently,
"You owe one Returning God Pill, put it on the tab!"
Wang Xian smiled and bowed to Sister Hong,
"Alright, I’ll repay double."
Sister Hong waved her hand and huffed,
"That’s not necessary, I’m not a loan shark."
Wang Xian took out a Returning God Pill and consud it, healing his weary spirit. He circulated his inner strength and sat quietly ditating, with Lu Chenzhou guarding him.
Before long, Wang Xian had mostly recovered, physically and ntally.
Suddenly, he burst into laughter and slapped Lu Chenzhou on the shoulder,
"Hahaha, junior brother, I’ve made a breakthrough!"
Chenzhou was stunned and asked,
"Senior brother, what did you break through?"
Such a swift developnt in acupoints and Qi-Blood, normally gradual processes, couldn’t be possible. Could it be that Senior Brother’s Fist Theory had advanced to the Sixth Realm during this battle?
This was a realm that many Grandmasters had not yet comprehended. To Chenzhou’s knowledge, even though Martial Arts Geniuses often slowly approached the Sixth Realm after reaching Grandmaster status, it was rare.
Wang Xian laughed,
"It wasn’t easy. The ’Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist’ reached mastery. This battle, inspired, I finally broke through the barrier, advancing my Divine Skill!"
Chenzhou suddenly understood.
No wonder his senior brother had fought so wildly, disregarding his injuries against the deer monster. It turned out his Divine Skill was inspired by a stroke of insight. Cultivating Divine Skill was exceedingly difficult, and making even a minor advancent was enough to keep even a Martial Arts Genius awake for days.
The Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist was a Middle-level Divine Skill; difficult upon difficult.
He laughed,
"Congratulations! It seems this battle was quite beneficial for you, senior brother. Maybe you can even surpass Li Ao and beco the first new generation Martial Arts Grandmaster in Dragon City!"
Wang Xian shook his head,
"I’m still one step behind Li Ao. Our Qi-Blood progression is similar, both at our limits, and our Fist Theories are on par, but I’m always slightly slower because he was quicker in Opening the Acupoint. That gap isn’t sothing I can close quickly."
Chenzhou replied,
"That’s true."
Even those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that assist in Opening the Acupoint rely amplify the speed. One still needs to train the Pile Skill, as it’s not a matter of simply having the acupoints opened by external ans, which would be all harm and no good. Forcing acupoints open using external items destroys one’s Martial Arts prospects—it’s a major taboo. Such unstable acupoint structures can easily collapse and vanish, losing the acupoint altogether.
Thus, one’s Martial Arts foundation remains incomplete. The consequences are self-evident. Compensation can only be achieved by cultivating the Fake Acupoint thod, originally intended for those missing and those incapacitated.
Martial Arts training would thus be completely delayed.
Only a skyscraper built by oneself truly establishes a Martial Arts foundation.
One may use external aids, but must not confuse the primary and secondary.
"Both of you, prepare to leave, a Heavenly Calamity is coming."
Sister Hong jumped down from a height, speaking hurriedly.
But looking toward the distant horizon, a weird black wind was howling.
