Chapter 231: The Potent Vitality Pill
Chen Muxue glared at Huo Lian and sat up to comfort Changgui, "The Sect Leader is doing just fine!"
Changgui blinked his puppy eyes, pitiful yet hopeful, as he offered the greenish steaming pill in his hand, "It’ll be even better after taking the Great Nourishing Pill."
Everyone fell silent.
"Have you ever seen a Great Nourishing Pill?" Lin Qing couldn’t help but nudge Cen Lizhui with his elbow; this young member of the Immortal Sect surely knew more than he did, right?
Cen Lizhui hesitantly said, "This looks like one of those Power Pills where once you take it, your back won’t ache, and your legs won’t hurt, and you can run eighty miles in one breath..."
Another silence fell over the crowd.
Changgui turned a deaf ear to these remarks; he had utmost confidence in his Great Nourishing Pill, learned from the Qian Ding Sect’s Alchemy Secret Manual, never shared with outsiders. The manual even had illustrations, and it looked exactly like this!
His eyes gleamed as he looked at Chen Muxue; once the Sect Leader consumed this Great Nourishing Pill, she’d be vigorous, radiant, energetic, full of spirit... He forgot the rest.
Under Changgui’s eager gaze, Chen Muxue hesitantly accepted the strangely shaped Great Nourishing Pill.
Everyone watched Chen Muxue, and couldn’t help covering their mouths and noses, but they eagerly anticipated her eating it.
How could something so big be swallowed directly like a pill from the past!
Feeding it to a dragon would be suitable...
With her mind slightly adrift, Chen Muxue resolutely took a bite!
Sour, slightly bitter, intensely sweet aftertaste, with a peculiar flavor, like the licorice tablets from colds in the past—those who liked it really liked it, while those who hated it couldn’t swallow even one, and once chewed, it stuck to the teeth...
Chen Muxue felt a surge of heat rushing to her face, and a warm stream flowed from her nose.
"Definitely invigorating!" Chen Muxue wiped the nosebleed.
Cen Lizhui silently handed her a handkerchief.
After wiping, a surge of Spiritual Energy vibrated from Chen Muxue.
"Wow!" Everyone gasped and focused their gaze on the three-quarters of the Great Nourishing Pill still bearing teeth marks.
Truly nourishing!
Completely unprepared, the Chen Muxue who ascended to the Golden Core Stage Sixth Rank, blocked her nostril with one hand and put away the remaining Great Nourishing Pill with the other.
"Next time will be even more nourishing!" Chen Muxue chuckled, reaching out to pat Changgui’s head, "Good kid."
Huo Lian’s gaze flitted between the two several times.
Changgui frowned and touched his hair, "Did the Sect Leader use my hair to wipe her hands?"
"Ha! Your hair’s been greasy for three days without washing, hasn’t it?" Chen Muxue looked away.
After the two youngsters went out, Chen Muxue turned to the others, "The Chu Family’s forbidden area is very peculiar; those women possess an energy that can be directly absorbed by Chu Wuxin, known as Black Qi, which I heard originally comes from the Demon Clan."
"Could the Chu Family truly have connections with the Demon Clan?" Lin Qing appeared unusually serious.
Chu Wuyi shook his head slightly, "As far as I know, the Chu Family has had a tradition of Destiny Daughters since its rise, with a history nearly as old as our own dynasty, starting shortly after the establishment of the Demon Clan barrier. If they were truly connected, how could they remain until today?"
Yet in Huo Lian’s eyes, there was contemplation, "Perhaps it is precisely because of this connection that they have lasted until today."
Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to him.
"What do you mean?" Cen Lizhui raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Ever since Ancestor Cen Can ascended to Immortality, the Demon Clan launched attacks, only to be defeated by mortal world cultivators. When the Demon Clan withdrew, it took less than thirty years." Huo Lian’s eyes flickered, seemingly avoiding something.
