ite with worried faces; Xiao Yu had been inside for over an hour—would anything bad happenAs they looked at the dark construction site far away, they suddenly remembered everything they had seen there...Chapter 771: Taking Medicine
"Heavenly Dao Oath, complete!" After Xiao Yu saw everyone take the Heavenly Dao Oath, he pointed at the sky and made a profound hand sign while muttering.
The moment his voice echoed, the weather in the sky suddenly changed; dark clouds gathered, followed by rumbles of thunder. These thunder sounds penetrated their minds, causing a slight tremor within them that felt like a lock had been placed on their mental states.
When these family members sensed this lock upon their mental states and tried to sense it more closely, they found everything had returned to normal, as if the earlier sensation was just an illusion.
However, the thunder outside continued to rumble loudly, making them slightly ponder over what had transpired. Their expressions flickered with a mix of thoughts.
A moment ago, they had considered the possibility that their Heavenly Dao Oaths had actually taken effect. Though no one had ever heard of anyone's oath being fulfilled in modern times, it was very real in ancient times, so there was a high chance this time could be true as well.
Yet, they quickly dismissed these thoughts; after all, if they dared to take the Heavenly Dao Oath, they naturally weren't afraid that it would actually come into effect.
"Snap snap..." Xiao Yu noticed that the oaths were completed and clapped his hands.
As soon as his hand-clapping sound faded away, a group of soldiers entered with large bowls in their hands. They placed these bowls before each person present.
In no time, there was a bowl in front of everyone in the room; it contained a pale yellow and transparent liquid steaming with heat.
When these family members saw the bowls in front of them, their expressions changed dramatically. They looked at Xiao Yu dumbfoundedly, assuming he didn't trust the Heavenly Dao Oath and was trying to control them through medicine.
In fact, it wasn’t surprising for them to think this way: after taking the oath, a bowl of medicinal liquid immediately appeared before them; no one could deny that this looked like a lack of trust in the oath itself and an attempt to use medicine as a means of control instead.
Looking at these people, Xiao Yu faintly understood their thoughts. However, instead of speaking, he picked up the bowl in front of him and said, "Everyone, today is the day for our alliance. I have prepared something small for everyone to enjoy. Please!"
The moment Xiao Yu's words fell silent, nobody in the room spoke. The living room instantly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. None of these family members reached out to pick up their bowls either. Who dared to drink it at this point Logically speaking, there was no reason for Xiao Yu to poison them, but none of them were willing to take the risk. Thus, everyone sat there with uneasy faces.
Suddenly, the previously sitting blood flame battalion's patrons recalled something. They put their noses near the bowls and sniffed to see if what they suspected was true.
The moment these patrons placed their noses near the bowls, their expressions abruptly changed. Then, they closed their eyes in a seemingly enjoyable manner. Soon after, their eyes began emitting green light as they swiftly picked up their bowls regardless of the heat and gulped down its contents.
"Thank you, Commander Xiao!" These patrons had officially joined the blood flame battalion, so they started calling Xiao Yu by this title just like Zhang Dahan and the others did.
Even though Zhang Dahan was Xiao Yu's older brother and Song Hushan and the rest were his uncles, in public gatherings, they always called Xiao Yu "Commander Xiao." These patrons followed suit to show their closeness with him.
Xiao Yu’s cultivation level had reached the peak of Qi Condensation. They should have addressed him as a senior, but for the sake of intimacy, all of them changed it to Commander Xiao.
Upon hearing these patrons' words, Xiao Yu nodded at them.
After thanking Xiao Yu, each patron sat cross-legged and began cultivating in this room. This was the blood flame battalion's meeting hall; they weren't afraid of being disturbed here. They started to meditate and refine the medicinal power from the Great Nourishing Essence Liquid.
The patrons had already drunk it when Zhang Dahan and the others followed suit. Knowing that Xiao Yu had concocted this liquid, they didn’t move first until everyone else did because Xiao Yu hadn't given any instructions or mentioned any plans regarding these medicines. They waited here for his command.
At this moment, seeing the patrons drink it without hesitation, Zhang Dahan and the others also gulped down their bowls’ contents. Though they were martial artists, these liquids could still benefit them immensely. Although their absorption rate wouldn't be as efficient as cultivators', they could still absorb a portion of its effects while enhancing their meridians and bodies with the rest.
The family elders and patriarchs naturally noticed this situation too. Upon seeing everyone’s reactions, confusion appeared on their faces.
The Wang brothers had the longest relationship with Xiao Yu, and they didn’t think that Xiao Yu was capable of poisoning someone. However, now that Xiao Yu was working for the government, they were too afraid to take any risks. Upon seeing the demeanor of the sacrificial officials, they lowered their heads and sniffed lightly at the bowls before them.
The other Patriarchs in the later stage of breath cultivation naturally knew that Xiao Yu was closer to the Wang brothers. Xiao Yu had initially joined their alliance thanks to a recommendation from the Wang brothers. Thus, when they saw the appearance of the Wang brothers, they looked over at them as well.
Just as the Wang brothers bent down and placed their noses near the bowls, an intense amount of primordial energy was absorbed through their nostrils straight into their lungs, making them feel like their entire body was being cleansed. They wore the same expression of enjoyment as those sacrificial officials.
Five minutes later, they finally refined this concentrated primordial energy in their lungs, and they felt a hint of increased primordial energy within their bodies.
Although it was just a slight increase, it was an amount that usually took them one month of sitting meditation to achieve. But after taking a sniff of the heat vapor from the bowl, this effect occurred. What would happen if they drank down the entire contents of the bowl Thinking about this, the Wang brothers felt excited.
"Pill!" In an instant, both brothers exchanged a glance and thought silently to themselves.
According to ancient legends, just inhaling the scent of a Nine-Times Golden Pill could increase someone’s lifespan by several hundred years. Even swallowing one would instantly make them a deity. Although this was somewhat exaggerated, it also highlighted the power of pills.
Since they had experienced an increase in their cultivation after sniffing, naturally, they thought about pills.
The two no longer hesitated at all and picked up the bowl of medicinal liquid before them, taking a large gulp.
"Bang... Bang... Bang..." As soon as this bowl of medicinal liquid entered their stomachs, it turned into a flood of concentrated primordial energy that assaulted their internal organs and meridians.
"Hai Chuan, drink quickly!"
Upon sensing the intense flow of concentrated primordial energy within them, both brothers paled. They realized this medicinal liquid was very potent, but they had clearly underestimated its strength. Therefore, they didn’t hesitate and immediately sat cross-legged to meditate without wasting a moment.
When Wang Haichuan heard what his father and uncle said, he was stunned for a moment. However, he did not dare to go against the two elders' words. Moreover, they would never harm him. So, he picked up the bowl of medicine on the table and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking this medicinal soup, his eyes widened slightly with surprise and shock. But soon after, he was overjoyed and entered a meditative state.
The other families also showed some surprise when they saw what happened to the Wang Family. After smelling these bowls of medicine, their hearts were alarmed as they thought of medicinal pills. Then, they understood why the Wang Family had acted this way, so they invited the patriarchs of their respective clans and drank that bowl of medicine together before sitting in meditation.
"Grandfather, you should also drink it! With your current strength, you can completely absorb the medicinal power, and who knows You might even break through another realm!" When everyone had drunk the medicine, Xiao Yu said to Li Sujun.
The Great Nourishing Elixir was not only effective for cultivators but also for martial artists. In fact, its effects on martial artists were even greater than those on cultivators because these elder's cultivation levels at least reached the level of Transformation Force. Therefore, they could absorb it more effectively.
Seeing that everyone had sat in meditation, Xiao Yu drank a bowl himself and then crossed his legs to meditate.
Xiao Yu was already at the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, so this medicinal liquid's effects on him were much lesser. If it was the Great Nourishing Pill, it would still have some effect on him. However, after being diluted into a liquid form, it had much less impact on his solidified strength.
After half an hour of meditation, Xiao Yu had transformed all the medicinal power in the liquid into righteous energy. When he opened his eyes and saw everyone meditating, he closed them again to continue sitting in meditation. For cultivation, Xiao Yu never dared to be lax for a moment; if he could break through the Qi Refinement stage, he would have complete confidence about their trip to Japan.
Time passed slowly as two days went by. Because of what Xiao Yu said, this forest was sealed off during these two days, and no one was allowed in. Even the soldiers guarding the villa were chased out of the woods.
"Haha..." One day, Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes while sitting in meditation. He looked at everyone who was also meditating. After a moment, they all simultaneously opened their eyes as if on cue. When their eyes met each other's, they could see the joy and surprise from one another. Soon after, they calmed down to feel the Heavenly Energy within them. Upon feeling the increase of Heavenly Energy inside themselves, various kinds of laughter and roars burst out of their mouths.
Actually, they were not excited about increasing their cultivation levels this time but because Xiao Yu was a pill refiner that made them so happy. This made them deeply feel how right it was to form an alliance with him. At the same time, they understood why someone at his age could achieve such a high level of cultivation. Even though they understood, they were still terrified by Xiao Yu's demonic talent. Very few people could simultaneously cultivate Qi and Heavenly Energy, but Xiao Yu not only did both, he had achieved peak levels in both realms. Moreover, the most important thing was that he was so young; this age represented boundless possibilities!
