Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Taking the Elixir Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Taking the Elixir Yes!

Even Ji Yue, who came from Pill Country, had never seen a genuine Prolo Pill, let alone be able to differentiate between the real and the fake.

Now, Jing Yan had asked Mr.

Zhou Tian to use the Prolo Pill and Water Wood Pill together, making it look like he was actually providing cover.

As if he was finding an excuse for the so-called ineffectiveness of the Prolo Pill!

Xu Dong, Lu Ru, and others were looking at Jing Yan with eyes full of triumph.

It was as if they had uncovered Jing Yan’s sinister schemes, and they were curious to see how he intended to wriggle out of this one.

Commandery Prince Zhou Shang Yun also frowned lightly as he glanced at Jing Yan.

There were simply no Water Wood Pills within the Prince Manor.

Zhou Shang Yun was aware of the Water Wood Pill as well, a pill known not only to Pill Masters but to many others.

It was common knowledge on the continent for its ability to repair Martial Arts Meridians.

Zhou Shang Yun had sought out the Water Wood Pill through various channels, but it was an elixir far too difficult to obtain.

Moreover, Mr.

Zhou Tian’s Martial Arts Meridian issue was not ‘fixed’ but ‘progressive’.

Some martial artists may sustain injuries to their Meridians during fierce battles, resulting in fixed damage that could be healed with the Water Wood Pill.

But Mr.

Zhou Tian’s issues with his Martial Arts Meridians were constantly worsening, so even if he obtained one or two Water Wood Pills, it would be like trying to extinguish a cart of burning logs with a cup of water—unable to solve the fundamental problem.

Could it be that Jing Yan was really just making wild and baseless claims?

“Young friend Jing Yan, if the Prolo Pill is not paired with the Water Wood Pill, will its effects be significantly reduced?

Indeed, we do not have Water Wood Pills in the Prince Manor!” Zhou Shang Yun said with a frown as he looked at Jing Yan.

Liu Wen and Li Xingjiu started to worry for Jing Yan at this point.

If Jing Yan was indeed deceiving the Commandery Prince and Mr.

Zhou Tian, the matter could be grave.

It was entirely possible for him to be executed on the spot.

The Commandery Prince was the Controller of Lanqu County City.

If word got out that the Commandery Prince had been deceived, what would people outside say?

Where would the Prince’s dignity be placed?

Hence, the possibility of the Prince, in a fit of rage, executing Jing Yan on the spot was very high!

Hearing Zhou Shang Yun’s interrogation of Jing Yan, a cruel smirk appeared on Ji Yue’s lips.

Mr.

Zhou Tian was looking at Jing Yan as well, with thoughts whirling in his mind.

His first impression of Jing Yan had been good, considering him a promising youth; Bai Xue looked favorably upon Jing Yan, and he was not against it—in fact, he would support it.

But if Jing Yan turned out to be the kind of junior who spouted nonsense without consideration, that would be unacceptable.

He would never support Bai Xue getting involved with such a person.

The eyes of everyone in the room were now fixed on Jing Yan.

Jing Yan smiled and said, “Prince, please do not misunderstand.

What I meant was that the Prolo Pill works best when used in conjunction with the Water Wood Pill.

However, it does not mean that the Prolo Pill would be ineffective without the Water Wood Pill.

Even if the Prolo Pill is used by itself, it can still resolve the issues faced by the old master; it might just take longer.”

“Moreover, I do have the Water Wood Pill!

So, the old master can indeed use the Prolo Pill and Water Wood Pill together.” Jing Yan added shortly after.

Ji Yue and the others’ eyes instantly widened, their breaths catching.

“Prince!

This is the Water Wood Pill, a third-level elixir specifically for repairing the Martial Arts Meridians of martial artists,” Jing Yan said as he took out some green, spherical elixirs.

“How is this possible?” Ji Yue’s eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

He didn’t have the Water Wood Pill on him.

But while he was in Pill Country, he had seen the Water Wood Pill more than once.

From the outside, the green pills which Jing Yan brought out looked very similar to the Water Wood Pills.

And if one were to discern by odor, they seemed to match those he had seen before.

“Old master, please try them,” Jing Yan offered both types of pills to Mr.

Zhou Tian.

“Wait a moment!” Ji Yue interjected, “Old master, may I first inspect these two types of pills?

I am concerned, in case they are counterfeit…”

Ji Yue looked eagerly at the pills in Jing Yan’s hands.

In fact, although Ji Yue was not certain of the authenticity of the Prolo Pill, he was seventy to eighty percent sure that the Water Wood Pill was genuine.

Since the Water Wood Pill was real, it was very likely that the Prolo Pill was real as well.

Ji Yue wanted to examine the pills for two reasons: to analyze and feel them, perhaps if he attained some information, he could attempt to refine them upon returning to Pill Country?

“Alchemist Ji Yue, you’ve never seen a real Prolo Pill.

How can you identify the authenticity of the pills?

Let’s forget about it!” Jing Yan said with a smile.

“I may not have seen a real Prolo Pill, but I have seen the Water Wood Pill many times and can identify its authenticity,” Ji Yue retorted, his eyes wide.

“Hehe, that won’t do!” Jing Yan shook his head.

“What’s so improper about that?” Ji Yue’s voice grew sharper.

“Because these pills are mine, and if I don’t want you to see them, you can’t.

It’s as simple as that!” Jing Yan’s gaze hardened.

Hearing this, Ji Yue was momentarily stunned and then his entire face turned green with envy.

Indeed, the pills belonged to Jing Yan, and if Jing Yan didn’t want to show them to him, that was his right.

Perhaps he could get the pills through the Commandery Prince to verify their authenticity.

His hopeful gaze turned to Commandery Prince Zhou Shang Yun.

“There’s no need to verify their authenticity; the pills are real.

I trust Jing Yan,” Zhou Shang Yun said, waving his hand dismissively before Ji Yue could speak.

“Old master, please give them a try,” Jing Yan continued to offer the pills.

“All right!

Then I’ll give them a try,” Mr.

Zhou Tian nodded, accepting both the Prolo Pill and the Water Wood Pill.

There were a total of five Prolo Pills and five Water Wood Pills.

Mr.

Zhou Tian gave Jing Yan a deep look, acknowledging that whether it was the Prolo Pill or the Water Wood Pill, their value was staggering.

And Jing Yan, giving away five Prolo Pills and five Water Wood Pills so directly, was certainly not the act of a stingy person.

Xu Dong and other Pill Masters were watching the two types of pills with greedy eyes.

They were also frantically pondering.

Let’s not even talk about the Prolo Pill; it had been lost to time for thousands of years.

Nowadays, it was nearly impossible to find such pills, and their value was difficult to estimate.

But the Water Wood Pill’s value was genuinely astonishing.

If they were able to refine the Water Wood Pill themselves, what fortunes would they acquire?

How could Jing Yan have the Water Wood Pill?

Xu Dong was well aware of Jing Yan’s background.

He knew Jing Yan came from a family in the small city of Donglin City.

This meant Jing Yan couldn’t possibly have acquired the Water Wood Pill through any channels.

Therefore, if he was able to present the Water Wood Pill, either he had found it in an Ancient Cave Mansion or he had mastered the recipe to refine it himself.

Everyone present was astute enough to consider this possibility.

If they could get their hands on the Water Wood Pill recipe…

Mr.

Zhou Tian accepted the pills and examined each briefly before swallowing them without hesitation.

Then, he closed his eyes and gently circulated his Primordial Energy to speed up the diffusion and absorption of the pill’s potency.

All eyes were locked on him, laden with utmost gravity.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the result.

If the pills truly worked, not much time would be needed—perhaps just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, by which Mr.

Zhou Tian should start feeling a change.
