The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Harboring Ulterior Motives Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Harboring Ulterior Motives The Heavenly Eye Pill, wreathed in purple light halos, was only just brought out when a faint medicinal fragrance began permeating the air.

Chief Mu’s eyes instantly fell upon the elixir in Mr.

Jing Yan’s hands.

“Chief Mu, this is the Heavenly Eye Pill, a Second-level Elixir, and it works wonders in stabilizing the Fog Vortex!” Mr.

Jing Yan said with a smile, “Madam’s Fog Vortex has been delayed for too long, and has also been corroded by the poison of the Netherworld Poison Grass for over ten years, so it may require multiple Heavenly Eye Pills for continuous treatment.”

“Chief Mu, the method of taking the Heavenly Eye Pill is once every three days, and one pill at a time.

I believe that after three pills, Madam’s Fog Vortex will be completely stabilized.

The remaining three pills are for further solidifying the Fog Vortex.

It may not be long before Madam can attempt to break through the realm’s shackles once again.” Mr.

Jing Yan explained the usage of the Heavenly Eye Pill to Mu Liantian.

Mu Liantian was somewhat stunned upon hearing Mr.

Jing Yan’s words.

What Mu Liantian was thinking about now was purely hoping that his wife’s Fog Vortex could be stabilized.

Even if she could never use a trace of Primordial Energy in the future and had to remain an ordinary person, that would be acceptable.

He had never considered the possibility of his wife recovering her strength, yet now, according to Mr.

Jing Yan, not only could his wife recover her strength, but she could also advance to a higher realm.

That was too incredible to believe.

You have to realize that even Lanqu County City’s strongest Pill Masters of the past could only temporarily stabilize Qi Sirou’s Fog Vortex!

Could the difference be so great?

After a brief moment of astonishment, Mu Liantian recovered and, suppressing the joy in his heart, excitedly took the six Heavenly Eye Pills from Mr.

Jing Yan’s hands.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, young friend, I, Mu Liantian will remember this act of kindness.

There’s no time to delay, I must deliver the pills to my wife immediately,” Mu Liantian didn’t say much else.

Leaving this message behind, he quickly departed.

Mr.

Jing Yan just smiled.

He could understand Mu Liantian’s current emotions and could also see Mu Liantian’s deep affection for Qi Sirou.

“Mr.

Jing Yan!” Jing Ziqi also came over at this time, calling out with joy.

“Ziqi, let’s go, back to Juhua Restaurant,” Mr.

Jing Yan replied with a smile.

His mind was still occupied with the fragmented Sky Wings Martial Arts Stele tucked away inside his Sumeru Ring.

If the broken martial skills in this stele were indeed part of the remainder of the Sky Wings Martial Art, then he would be incredibly fortunate.

If that were the case, the significance it represented…

Mr.

Jing Yan’s heart was also unable to suppress the excitement.

It could be said that even if Mr.

Jing Yan had to exchange all the resources on him, except for the Qiankun Ring, for such a fragmented Martial Arts Stele, he would be more than willing to do so.

To other Martial Artists, a fragmented Sky Wings might not be valuable since incomplete information rendered it unpracticable.

But Mr.

Jing Yan was different; he possessed the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, a heaven-defying cultivation technique that could repair the incomplete information of Sky Wings to a certain degree.

He had obtained a similarly incomplete Sky Wings Martial Arts Stele inside the Jing family and managed to cultivate it nonetheless.

“Mr.

Jing Yan, shouldn’t we wait until the Housekeeper’s wife gets better before we leave?” Jing Ziqi asked with some confusion.

She had just seen Mr.

Jing Yan handing over the elixir to Mu Liantian, and though deeply astonished, considering Mr.

Jing Yan’s various unique qualities, she soon came to terms with it.

Falling from the Innate Realm to the Martial Arts Third Layer Heaven, then using a short time to return to the Innate Realm, and now even capable of contending with Innate Peak Experts.

All of these were beyond the scope of normal judgment.

Mr.

Jing Yan, indeed, had too many inexplicable aspects about him.

“It’s alright, let’s first head back to Juhua Restaurant and wait for the Three Major Academies’ examination to begin.

Also, I’ll treat you to something delicious,” Mr.

Jing Yan said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

His purpose for coming here was not to obtain Mu Liantian’s compensation but to earn this favor.

Now, Vice President Liu Wen of the Alchemist Association was in his debt.

If he could also gain Chief Mu’s favor, then in Lanqu County City, it would be hard for the average person to cause him harm, and he would have the means to resist.

Whether he stayed here or returned to Juhua Restaurant, Chief Mu’s favor would be secure—the outcome would be the same.

Mr.

Jing Yan was certain that once the Chief Mu’s people gave Qi Sirou the Heavenly Eye Pill, her Fog Vortex issue would surely be resolved.

“Okay!” Jing Ziqi nodded her head and smiled broadly.

She knew that Mr.

Jing Yan was quite wealthy now, and she was determined to have a grand meal on him, especially the most expensive dishes.

In the Housekeeper’s separate court, Qi Sirou’s bedroom!

“Did Mr.

Jing Yan refine the elixir?” Qi Sirou naturally asked when she saw Mu Liantian come in.

“He did, take a look!” Mu Liantian took out the six Heavenly Eye Pills enveloped in purple light halos and said with some emotion, “This young friend Mr.

Jing Yan turns out to be a Second-level Little Pill King, it’s unbelievable, really beyond belief.

For someone of his age to be able to refine a Second-class Second-level Elixir, it’s truly inconceivable!”

When Jing Yan handed over the elixirs earlier, Mu Liantian hadn’t had the chance to examine them carefully, only now did he realize that the Heavenly Eye Pills in his hand were actually second-class elixirs.

Mu Liantian was not a Pill Master and had never seen Heavenly Eye Pills before, but he could tell the grade of the elixirs.

Because there was a significant difference in purity between second-class and third-class elixirs.

Moreover, the surface of second-class elixirs had a much richer light halo than those of the third class.

“Where is Mr.

Jing Yan?

I’ll go and thank him!” Mu Yunfei said hurriedly when she didn’t see Jing Yan follow her father in, then she quickly ran out.

Watching Mu Yunfei run out, both Qi Sirou and Mu Liantian smiled.

“Rou’er, you first take one of the elixirs to try!” Mu Liantian said as he walked to the edge of the bed.

Without taking the elixir, its effect could not be fully confirmed.

Although Mu Liantian and Qi Sirou now both had quite a bit of faith in Jing Yan, with no results seen, there was still some unease in their hearts.

This was, after all, human nature!

“Wait a minute!”

At that moment, a voice came through.

Following that, Gao Zhao Hai and Wang Bo both quickly entered.

“Vice President Gao, Vice President Wang, Jing Yan, the little friend, has managed to successfully refine this kind of elixir,” Mu Liantian turned to look at the two men and said with a slight frown.

“Chief Mu, could you let me take a look at the elixir first?” Pill Master Wang Bo asked directly.

Wang Bo was very curious about the Heavenly Eye Pills refined by Jing Yan, what kind of elixirs they were that could stabilize a Martial Artist’s Fog Vortex.

He didn’t have any other intentions; it was simply due to his obsession with the Alchemy Dao and an uncontrollable curiosity toward elixirs he had never seen before.

“Of course!” Mu Liantian pondered for a moment and then handed one of the Heavenly Eye Pills to Wang Bo.

“I still can’t believe that kid could refine any second-class elixirs,” Gao Zhao Hai still had a look of scorn on his face, but his gaze also followed the Heavenly Eye Pill in Wang Bo’s hand.

Wang Bo stared fixedly at the Heavenly Eye Pill in his hand.

After a moment, a wave of emotion stirred in his heart.

This elixir, he had indeed never seen before, and it was clearly a genuine second-class elixir.

As he watched, Wang Bo’s breathing became heavier.

“Pill Master Wang Bo, what do you think?” Mu Liantian waited for a moment and, seeing no response from Wang Bo, couldn’t help but ask.

After all, both Gao Zhao Hai and Wang Bo were fourth-grade Pill Masters.

Although Mu Liantian was somewhat dissatisfied with Gao Zhao Hai, the skills of these two men were still formidable.

Allowing them to examine Jing Yan’s Heavenly Eye Pills was clearly not a bad idea.

“This…” Wang Bo’s body trembled slightly, “Chief Mu, although I’m not sure if this elixir is truly effective for stabilizing the Fog Vortex, this is indeed a second-class elixir, one that we have never seen before.

Perhaps what Jing Yan said is true.”

Wang Bo, slowly, handed the elixir back to Mu Liantian.

In fact, he desperately wanted to acquire this elixir.

If he could take this elixir back with him, he would be able to thoroughly study it and see how it was refined.

If what Jing Yan said was true, then how could this elixir stabilize the Fog Vortex?

“Pill Master Wang Bo, don’t you think you’re exaggerating a bit?” Gao Zhao Hai frowned, “That kid in his teens, able to refine a second-class elixir?

And one that we’ve never seen before?”

“That’s absolutely impossible!” Gao Zhao Hai said with a look of firm conviction.

At this point, he still didn’t believe that Jing Yan could refine a second-class elixir.

“High Alchemist Gao, once the lady inside has taken the Heavenly Eye Pill, we will see the effect and know,” Mu Liantian said, glancing at Gao Zhao Hai with an unpleasant tone.

After Wang Bo spoke those words, Mu Liantian’s confidence in the Heavenly Eye Pill grew even stronger.

At the very least, Wang Bo, the fourth-grade Pill Master, did not indicate there were any other issues with the elixir.

“If Chief Mu insists on letting his wife take these elixirs of unknown origin, naturally, I cannot forcibly stop him.

However, I do hope Chief Mu exercises caution!” Gao Zhao Hai declared stiffly.

“Dad!

Mr.

Jing Yan has left, ah!” At this moment, Mu Yunfei returned, expressing her anxiousness as she entered the room.

She wanted to thank Jing Yan in person, but the guard said that Jing Yan and Jing Ziqi had both already left the Manager’s Mansion.

“Hmm?” Mu Liantian looked at Mu Yunfei, “Why did little friend Jing Yan leave so suddenly?

I haven’t had the chance to thank him in person.”

“Hehe…” Gao Zhao Hai laughed upon hearing Mu Yunfei’s words, his eyes shining with a gleam of cunning.

“I knew it, that boy was just pretending to be ostentatious, it seems that from the beginning, I wasn’t wrong!” Gao Zhao Hai’s gaze swept across everyone in the room, “This boy must have gotten hold of some elixirs that we haven’t seen somewhere, and then wanted to deceive us.

However, his scheme was seen through by me, so he could no longer continue the deception, and had no choice but to use these few elixirs to settle the matter, then took the opportunity to run away.”

“Chief Mu, not to boast, but if it weren’t for me noticing from the start that this little runt was up to no good, he might have already taken a large fortune from your hands and run away,” Gao Zhao Hai said proudly.
