Chapter 143 - Happiness Came Too Suddenly
When Ling Chuxi finished speaking, Ling Yichen was not the least bit surprised. However, the second elder and the first elder felt that Ling Chuxi was too upset, and thus stubbornly spoke such words because she could not accept the fact that the second elder could no longer be saved.
On the other hand, Ling Shiyu’s eyes widened in hope as he reached out his small hand to hold onto Ling Chuxi’s sleeve. “Elder Sister Chuxi, is what you said true? Can you really save grandfather?”
The second elder smiled bitterly without saying anything.
“Naturally, I can,” said Ling Chuxi, smiling as she patted Ling Shiyu’s head. “Go close the door and stand guard outside. Don’t let anyone come here, alright? After that, I guarantee, I will give you back a lively grandfather.”
Ling Shiyu nodded his head furiously. “Alright! Elder Sister Chuxi, I believe you! You must return a lively grandfather to me.” He went to close the door and stand guard outside with a face full of determination.
“Chuxi, you…” The second elder sighed gently before squeezing out a smile. “You child. How can you simply use such adjectives? What lively grandfather… you can’t promise him that.”
Ling Chuxi snorted. “I said I can, that means I can.”
She dug out a porcelain bottle from her pocket and gave it to the first elder. “First Elder, look for whoever is most suitable in the clan and let that person eat this first. Right now, we need to increase the cultivation and abilities of our clan.”
“What is this?”
The first elder opened the porcelain bottle somewhat uncertainly. A whiff of odd fragrance assaulted his nose, and even the second elder smelled it too. The second elder’s nose twitched for a bit before his expression froze.
“Chuxi, what medicine is this? This smell is extraordinary,” asked the second elder in astonishment.
A single whiff of this fragrance was sufficient to know that it was definitely an extraordinary item. What kind of pill was it?
“Two lower-tier Tian Luo Pills,” said Ling Chuxi softly. “Give it to the people in the clan who need it. I have a method to treat the second elder. I will first use acupuncture to suppress his injury.”
After she finished speaking, Ling Chuxi took out a set of golden needles like she was performing a magic trick. This left the first elder and the second elder looking at her with popped eyes and mouths agape.
When the two people finally regained their senses, they thought back on the words Ling Chuxi said just a short while ago.
“Tian Luo, Tian Luo Pill?!!!” gasped the first elder. His hand that was holding the porcelain bottle was shaking.
This unassuming bottle actually held Tian Luo Pills? It was a unique pill that could assist people in breaking through their bottlenecks! People usually said that this pill was priceless, but actually it was more than just priceless.
Who would bring out such a precious pill to be sold? Money was nothing. A wise decision would be to use a pill such as this on something more worthwhile. But here Ling Chunxi was, casually bringing out a bottle with two Tian Luo Pills inside!
Ling Yichen spoke up from the side expressionlessly, “Those are lower-tiered. An intermediate-tier one was eaten by me. I am now at Battle Qi Level-7.”
Ling Yichen’s words were like a huge rock landing on the two elders’ heads, knocking them till they felt somewhat faint. Happiness came too suddenly. It made them feel like their hearts was about to stop beating. Ling Yichen was actually at Battle Qi Level-7!
The first elder could barely speak without stumbling over his words, “Chuxi, Chuxi, you, you, how did you get such a precious pill?”
“I saved someone. It was a gift.”
Even as she gave that brief description, her hands were already at work. With her godlike skills when stabbing the needles, the second elder’s arm was already starting to resemble a porcupine.
“Oh, Chuxi, little one, that acupoint. Can it really be stabbed like that? Ah, no. Little one, why do you know how to perform acupuncture?” asked the second elder.
Firstly, he was astonished that Ling Chuxi had actually stabbed an odd acupoint. Then, he suddenly felt like something was wrong. When did Chuxi learn acupuncture? And why did she seem to be so familiar with the technique?
