Chapter 186: Chapter 187: Golden Spirit Pill (1st Update) (Please Favorite, Tip, and Recommend)

"You don’t need to expend so much energy to consume the cold poison in my body."

Han Yueli sat beside Chu Fengmian, watching him recover his spirits while muttering softly to herself.

"For you to have extended my life by a month and a half is already showing utmost kindness. There’s no need to go to such lengths."

To an ordinary person, Han Yueli now could well be considered half-dead from the cold energy within her body.

Particularly since she had no relation to Chu Fengmian, it wasn’t necessary for him to try so hard to save her at all.

Even to say that Chu Fengmian had taken her with him to escape was already showing utmost kindness.

Any other Martial Artist would probably not have taken such a burden with them in their escape.

"I promised to take you away."

Chu Fengmian opened his eyes, looked at Han Yueli with a smile, and said,

"Of course I won’t let you die now."

Han Yueli, after all, had saved Chu Fengmian’s life; without her, perhaps Chu Fengmian would have already perished.

Given this, it was only natural that Chu Fengmian would want to repay her with her life.

"There’s another thing," Chu Fengmian added quietly, "you resemble a relative of mine."

The Ice Lotus Sword Technique, the cold and mysterious constitution—this Han Yueli was almost identical to his former Fourth Senior Sister.

Perhaps it was also for this reason that Chu Fengmian had chosen to save Han Yueli.

"Let’s go. Let’s first see what exactly is inside the tomb of the Emperor of Fertility. If we can find some Spiritual Medicine, maybe I can help concoct a pill to resolve the cold poison in your body."

Chu Fengmian stood up and said to Han Yueli.

"Stick close to me. You currently cannot use your Spiritual Power and are no different from an ordinary person."

Chu Fengmian got up and made his way deeper into the tomb. Around them was still the edge of the tomb; what secrets it hid was still unknown to anyone.

Watching Chu Fengmian leave, Han Yueli hesitated for a moment, then closely followed him.

Even though she was reluctant, having lost her Spiritual Power, she could only follow Chu Fengmian in this tomb.

Moreover, in her heart, Han Yueli no longer felt any reluctance.

"The rumored Chu Fengmian, notoriously vicious, ruthless, and exceedingly arrogant, almost like a demon incarnate. But now, seeing him, he seems quite different from those stories, except for the arrogance."

Han Yueli thought to herself.

Chu Fengmian’s name had long been known by the four great sects, now going by hearsay.

If Chu Fengmian were to be considered a demon, then there would be no good men among the world’s Martial Artists.

At least Han Yueli did not believe that in the face of such a crisis, there would be anyone like Chu Fengmian who would rather die than leave her behind.

Though she had been in a stupor, she still had some memory of those moments and was clear about them.

When Chu Fengmian chose to swallow the Spirit Pill and risked his life rather than abandon her, her heart had been touched.

"It’s just a pity that there’s no possibility between us."

Han Yueli murmured to herself.

"Come on, if you’re too far from me and you encounter danger, I won’t be able to help you."

Chu Fengmian looked back at Han Yueli and called out.

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Han Yueli hurriedly chased after him.

This tomb of the Emperor of Fertility, to call it a tomb would be an understatement; it was more like a vast cave.

Chu Fengmian glanced around and saw that within this cave, there were at least a thousand passageways. These corridors, with countless branches, seemed endless, and Chu Fengmian was unable to discern where they all led.

On the walls of the cave were countless images, including that of a tall man fighting against thousands, expanding his territory with each victory.

These images, one by one, felt as if they were alive, clearly conveying the strength of this formidable man.

"These images must depict the history of the Emperor of Fertility establishing his martial kingdom."

"Boom!"

As Chu Fengmian was examining the images, a loud thunderous noise suddenly erupted.

Underneath this roar, countless breaths of life surged into the tomb in an instant.

"The prohibitions outside have been opened?"

Chu Fengmian’s face changed at once. Through his Spiritual Sense, he detected that a myriad of martial artists had already flooded into the tomb.

It appeared that the protections of the Emperor of Fertility’s tomb had been broken by a collective effort.

Chu Fengmian originally had wanted to take a closer look inside the tomb, but now there was no time for leisure and contemplation.

"Follow me! We must find the Emperor of Fertility’s treasure before anyone else does!"

Chu Fengmian glanced back at Han Yueli and, without further concern, grabbed her arm and activated the Phantom movement technique, navigating swiftly through the cave.

He could already sense, albeit vaguely, the direction indicated by the Fertility Stele—the likely location of the Emperor of Fertility’s true treasure.

"You..."

As Han Yueli watched Chu Fengmian grasp her arm, a blush tinged her cheeks. Never before had a man dared to grab her arm like this.

She was about to say something but then hesitated.

After all, Chu Fengmian had carried her in his arms to escape earlier, so what was a handhold now?

Navigating through the cave, Chu Fengmian traveled a hundred miles until suddenly, a chamber with a stone door appeared before them.

This chamber was carved with countless magical protections, but over the years, many had become seriously damaged.

"Shatter!"

Exerting his Spiritual Power, Chu Fengmian threw a punch.

The protections on the stone door shattered completely, creating a breach that Chu Fengmian had made.

Peering through the gap, Chu Fengmian saw shelves neatly lined with numerous jade bottles, each filled with a milky-white Spirit Pill.

Chu Fengmian reached out and grabbed a jade bottle, which landed securely in his hand.

Opening the bottle, a highly concentrated Spiritual Power wafted out.

"This is a Golden Spirit Pill, a real cultivation pill from the Nine Domains. The effect of one pill is equivalent to a hundred Qi Gathering Pills."

Chu Fengmian instantly recognized the origins of the pill.

The Qi Gathering Pill was merely an in-house creation of the Martial Academy within the martial kingdom, not particularly effective.

In the Nine Domains, the universally accepted pills were far more advanced.

This Golden Spirit Pill, a highly circulated medicine, could be used as currency in various domains and was far superior to the Qi Gathering Pill.

Only some prosperous countries could produce the Golden Spirit Pill; it was unavailable for purchase in the martial kingdom. It seemed likely that this was part of the wealth left by the Emperor of Fertility.
