Chapter 154 Nine Revolutions Foundation Pill
The Supreme Elder laughed upon hearing this, "With the young master here, no one in the Eastern Wastes will be able to lift the cauldron."
"Cough cough…"
While speaking, the Supreme Elder suddenly coughed, a thread of fresh blood spurted from the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away nonchalantly, as if already accustomed to it.
He was too old, and on top of that, he had suffered an injury in the past which damaged his vital energy, and his lifespan was already not much.
Before Qinchuan appeared, he had been sitting in seclusion within the forbidden grounds of the Congyun Sect, trying to reduce consumption as much as possible, locking up his lifespan, hoping to support for a while longer, to protect the Congyun Sect for a bit more time.
Because the situation of the Congyun Sect was indeed precarious, with all sides eyeing it covetously.
Once he passed away, the Taixuan Sect and other major sects would assuredly take immediate action against the Congyun Sect.
What awaited the Congyun Sect then would be nothing less than a calamitous disaster.
Therefore, he had to hang on as long as possible, hoping to see a new pillar emerge within the Congyun Sect.
Fortunately, Qinchuan returned.
That finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
Without hesitation, he stepped out of the forbidden area of the Congyun Sect.
Qinchuan took a glance at the Supreme Elder.
The Supreme Elder did not hide his feelings and said with a touch of emotion, "The young master's arrival was so timely. If the young master had appeared even a little later, I would only have regrets at the end of my life."
"With the current strength and foundation of the Congyun Sect, if it weren't for the young master, all that awaited the Congyun Sect would have been only destruction..."
Upon saying this, the Supreme Elder suddenly laughed, as if taking a long breath of relief, "But now that I have waited for the young master's return, I can rest at ease."
"After this trip to the Myriad Spirit Garden, I can peacefully pass away."
Hearing the Supreme Elder's words.
Zhou Xi, Li Ran, and Wang Hao's expressions changed drastically, not expecting the Supreme Elder's condition to be so grave.
The Supreme Elder was the highest battle strength of the Congyun Sect.
The reason why the various major sects had not yet made up their minds to attack the Congyun Sect was the fear of the Supreme Elder and the foundation of the Congyun Sect.
If the Supreme Elder were to fall, they truly did not know what kind of situation the Congyun Sect would face.
Could it really depend on Qinchuan?
Although the three of them had been impressed by the extraordinary methods Qinchuan had shown,
after all, as of now, Qinchuan was only a martial artist in the Condensed Truth Realm.
If the Taixuan Sect and other major sects truly attacked, how could Qinchuan, with his mere cultivation level in the Condensed Truth Realm, become the support for the Congyun Sect and hold off the attacks of the Taixuan Sect and other major sects?
"Supreme Elder, is there really no way to extend your lifespan?"
"Aren't there all sorts of precious Heavenly Treasures Materials growing in the Myriad Spirit Garden? There might be an elixir that increases lifespan. Don't worry, Supreme Elder, we will surely find an elixir to extend your lifespan on this trip."
Zhou Xi and the others spoke up.
The Supreme Elder shook his head and smiled, "Even if there were an elixir that could increase lifespan, it would not save my life."
"I suffered a heavy blow in the past which injured me at the core, causing severe damage to my vital energy. I have been relying on my cultivation level to forcibly suppress it, but now my body is exhausted, and the injury is about to worsen. It's not something that adding a few years to my lifespan can resolve."
"You need not worry about me, I am old already. You are the future of the sect. As long as the sect is safe, I will have no regrets."
Hearing this, the expressions of Zhou Xi and the others darkened, "Not even an elixir that can increase lifespan will do?"
An elixir that could increase lifespan was a rare treasure, extremely precious.
This treasure of medicine often contains an incredibly powerful life essence, thus it also possesses great healing capabilities.
But the injuries that the Supreme Elder sustained in the bygone years were too severe, compounded by an excessively prolonged delay.
Even if such a treasure was found, it would not be able to save his life.
Seeing Zhou Xi and the others displaying faces full of sorrow and loss, the Supreme Elder could not help but let out a wry laugh, saying, "You need not grieve for me. Life must end eventually. It's just that I can no longer continue to guard our sect. The future of the sect is now in your hands."
"It's just a bit of harm to my life's source, what's the big deal?"
Hearing the words of the Supreme Elder and Zhou Xi's group, Qinchuan couldn't help but shake his head.
"Young Master (Brother Qin), do you have a way to cure the Supreme Elder's chronic condition?"
At these words, Zhou Xi, Li Ran, and Wang Hao all turned their gazes toward Qinchuan, their eyes immediately flickering with a hint of light.
The Supreme Elder was also taken aback, but then he shook his head. Although he was aware of Qinchuan's identity, he was even more aware of his own condition.
From the moment he stepped out of the prohibited area,
he had already set one foot in the coffin.
Not even immortals could save him.
Even if Qinchuan's abilities defied the heavens, it was impossible to bring him back from the brink of death.
However, Qinchuan merely glanced coldly at the Supreme Elder and said, "Although the injury has reached the source, making treatment a bit more troublesome, especially with the prolonged delay that has caused the injury to deepen, and having one foot already in the threshold of death... yet, resolving the injury is not without a solution."
"What? Young Master, you truly have a way to heal the Supreme Elder's chronic injury?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xi immediately widened her beautiful eyes, full of surprise and joy.
The Supreme Elder was also taken aback.
Giving the Supreme Elder a cursory glance, Qinchuan said indifferently, "Considering your loyalty and dedication to guarding the things I left behind, I will resolve the old injuries in your body. However, this will have to wait until after the journey to the Myriad Spirit Garden."
"This Nine Revolutions Foundation Pill can temporarily stabilize your chronic condition and replenish and restore some of your vitality. For one year, your injury will not flare up, but after a year, if the injury hasn't been thoroughly resolved, it will erupt fully, and your life's thread will be cut."
The Supreme Elder's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this and he received the elixir thrown by Qinchuan.
He had no doubts about Qinchuan's words and directly ingested the Nine Revolutions Foundation Pill in front of Qinchuan, then began to refine it.
Instantly, the complexion of the Supreme Elder regained its healthy glow, and the aura of decline around him rapidly faded. His essence, spirit, and energy gradually replenished and became full, restoring some vitality.
As he completely refined the Nine Revolutions Foundation Pill, the Supreme Elder immediately discovered that the injuries inside his body seemed to have disappeared without trace.
Your next chapter is on empire
"The Supreme Elder's essence, spirit, and energy have improved!"
"The Nine Revolutions Foundation Pill, what kind of elixir is this that it can have such miraculous effects!"
Li Ran and Wang Hao also clearly felt the Supreme Elder's rejuvenation. It was obviously the effect of the elixir given by Qinchuan.
This left them astounded.
The Supreme Elder had just taken the elixir and refined it, a process that took only a brief moment, yet the results were so remarkable.
It was like an immediate manifestation.
To call it a miraculous medicine would be no exaggeration.
Zhou Xi's eyes also sparkled. She had long known about Qinchuan's terrifying alchemy skills. The Nine Revolutions Foundation Pill was clearly refined by Qinchuan himself and to have such an effect, truly suppressing the Supreme Elder's injury and replenishing some of his vitality, was astounding.
"Thank you, Young Master."
After refining the elixir, feeling the changes within himself, the Supreme Elder quickly got up and bowed deeply to Qinchuan in gratitude.
Qinchuan lifted his hand, unfazed.
