Chapter 1383: Somewhat Helpless
Jian Mingyin gently furrowed her brows, suddenly taking out a handful of pills and picking through them.
Even though Yang Yan had seen countless Spirit Pills and elixirs, when he saw the pills Jian Mingyin offered, his eyes couldn’t help but widen.
Nine-Turns Rejuvenation Pill, Profound Yuan Spirit Gathering Pill, Infinite Divine Tempering Pill...
On this continent, pills are usually divided into the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Four Great Levels, with the first level further divided into upper, mid, and lower grades.
Though these pills don’t reach Celestial-level, they are the finest among Earth-level.
For ordinary cultivators, even a single one would be sought after fervently, yet this girl before him, under twenty, casually grabbed a huge handful.
However, considering her marvelous Alchemy skills, Yang Yan found himself relieved.
In this land, although Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures aren’t easily found everywhere, they’re significantly easier to obtain than in the barren outside world.
Possessing such adept Alchemy skills, trading for some valuable medicinal ingredients isn’t difficult.
Moreover, such formidable Alchemy skills are due not only to natural talent but also to extensive practice.
In essence, she was nurtured using all kinds of precious medicinal ingredients.
Having meticulously picked through them for some time, Jian Mingyin eventually selected a Great Returning Pill known for its gentle properties to give to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan smiled lightly, pointing at one of the glossy black pills, "You won’t need this Hundred Refinement Muscle Strengthening Pill later on either. Why not give it to me?"
Jian Mingyin’s eyes immediately widened; she quickly snatched the pill in her palm.
With a furrowed brow, she said, "Yang, what are you planning? While this pill might suppress injuries temporarily, it’s undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst."
Yang Yan’s smile grew more radiant.
"I believe you can sense my physique is different from ordinary people. Such pills with side effects won’t affect me much."
Seeing Yang Yan wasn’t trying to deceive her, Jian Mingyin hesitated for a moment, then handed the pill over.
Yang Yan thanked her with a smile and swallowed it directly.
As it entered his mouth, the originally cool pill instantly transformed into a blaze, rushing into his abdomen.
After a brief burning sensation, Yang Yan felt the congested blood channels immediately open, with Spiritual Power surging, rampaging wildly.
After slightly adapting, he silently activated the Heart Technique, gradually guiding this nearly frenzied Spiritual Power to impact various apertures.
Currently, Yang Yan isn’t lacking Spiritual Power, just overexhausted his internal Wish Power earlier, making his previously dormant Immortal Power become extremely restless.
Had Yang Yan not possessed a Flawless Divine Body, such backlash alone would have been enough to severe his meridians and reduce him to a cripple.
Nevertheless, his meridians suffered severe erosion.
Although Spiritual Power could gradually restore them, the process seemed somewhat prolonged for Yang Yan.
Upon seeing this Hundred Refinement Muscle Strengthening Pill, he naturally seized the opportunity.
This Hundred Refinement Muscle Strengthening Pill inherently strengthens muscles and refines meridians, though its excessive potency brings considerable side effects.
Normally, it’s only used in dire emergencies, to make one’s muscles and blood channels undergo qualitative leaps in a short time, unleashing power beyond the current level.
Yang Yan can now exploit this trait to forcibly reshape his damaged meridians.
As for the pill’s side effects, they can be completely ignored due to the attributes of the Flawless Divine Body.
About an hour later, when Yang Yan opened his eyes, he appeared vigorous and radiant.
Beside him, Jian Mingyin, acting as his Guardian, was utterly stunned.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Don’t plan to make me your experimental drug slave, do you?" Yang Yan looked at her adorable expression and couldn’t resist a jest.
The term "experimental drug slave" refers to a test subject akin to lab mice.
Jian Mingyin snapped back to reality, glaring at him playfully.
Yang Yan smiled and asked, "Why don’t you take out all your medicine bags, let me have a good look?"
"Sure!" Jian Mingyin hesitated not a bit, immediately emptying all her pills, categorizing them before Yang Yan.
Knowing Yang Yan was proficient in pharmacology, Jian Mingyin kept silent, waiting for him to choose.
Yang Yan didn’t refuse anything; he picked out all the pills with negative effects.
Though mentally prepared, seeing pills affecting muscles, flesh, Spiritual Power frenzy, even those stimulating Soul Power being chosen, Jian Mingyin couldn’t help but worry.
Yang Yan offered no explanations, swallowing them all at once, then sat on the stone platform, fully absorbed in Spiritual Power, crazily refining those pills.
Jian Mingyin dared not disturb him, continuing to quietly carry out her Guardian duties.
She constantly monitored the changes in Yang Yan’s aura, determined to intervene at the slightest anomaly.
Yet, everything remained serene; Yang Yan absorbed the pills with surprising tranquility.
After a full day passed, Yang Yan eradicated his internal injuries completely, solidifying his cultivation considerably.
He checked himself, finding his physical prowess now reaching the late stage of Divinity Transformation.
While Spiritual Power remained between the early and mid-stage of Divinity Transformation, the amalgamation of Wish Power, Immortal Power, and other mysterious forces within him granted combat strength rivaling the late stage of Divinity Transformation.
Returning to the cave assigned by the sect, Ling Chongzi appeared with a sullen expression.
Seeing Yang Yan healed, his tense expression relaxed slightly.
Sweeping his gaze over Yang Yan and Jian Mingyin, he spoke solemnly, "This time, so many foreign cultivators infiltrated the Feather Spirit Sect along with that traitor, nearly injuring you; the fault is entirely mine."
"The surviving souls have all been captured by the God-Burning Seal, yet I neglected them, so the Divine Souls are all obliterated, leaving not a single clue."
Yang Yan seemed unsurprised, smiling gently, comforting like, "This situation, strictly speaking, started because of me; Sect Leader doesn’t need to blame himself."
Ling Chongzi sighed, waving his hand, "Who knew that at this moment, those folks would still be unable to hold back and jump out. Once your foundation is stable, depart with the girl! I still have some materials for the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill left behind; they’re yours!"
Leaving a pile of precious materials for crafting the Nine Tribulations Divine Pill, Ling Chongzi departed Yang Yan’s cave with a sense of loss.
Jian Mingyin watched him leave, then sighed heavily.
Yang Yan glanced at her, his gaze carrying a hint of inquiry.
