Chapter: 5359

Hong Changqing said with great respect: "I'll report to Ye Shifu... I've been stuck in the realm of eight-star martial arts for sixteen years..."

Ye Chen curiously asked: "So, how old are you this year?"

Hong Changqing replied: "I'm sixty-two this year."

Ye Chen said: "You're already a forty-something-year-old eight-star martial artist? It seems your cultivation speed is quite impressive!"

Hong Changqing chuckled: "Don't deceive me, the alchemy method of our school may be rough and unrefined, but it's fortunate that our master passed down a relatively complete set of martial arts principles. Compared to most sects that don't even have a single complete principle, our potential is naturally greater."

"And, I also have some flashes in our rough alchemy methods. Our ancestors have also produced a great alchemist who doesn't know what method he used, and he was able to refine a batch of spiritual elixirs. These elixirs can make ordinary people strong and healthy, cure all diseases, and even promote martial arts cultivation for practitioners, although the benefits are limited but still better than nothing;"

"This elixir has been passed down to me when I had five left, but I publicly claimed only three existed. In fact, I have already eaten three myself, sold one to a wealthy man several years ago to save his life, and it really worked wonders for curing diseases, so I've also gained some fame for the continuation elixir; finally, the last one was taken by my grandfather when he was severely ill, but possibly because my grandfather's illness was too severe, it didn't have any effect."

Ye Chen lightly nodded his head, although he had never seen the continuation elixir in person, he speculated that its effects would be significantly inferior to his own blood-stopping elixirs and far from comparable to rejuvenation elixirs.

"So, he asked Hong Changqing: 'Hong Tianshi, are you willing to swear loyalty to me from today onwards? If so, I won't shortchange you.'"

"Hong Changqing heard this and immediately exclaimed with great joy: 'I am willing! I am willing a million times!'"

"Saying that, he knelt down at once, being most sincere and respectful, saying: 'Master Ye, I, Hong Changqing, vow to follow you and swear loyalty to you for life and death, and if I betray you, heaven will strike me with thunderbolts!'"

"At this point, Hong Changqing had already realized that Master Ye's strength was many times greater than his own, and even from this one aspect, it was worth following him."

"Moreover, Master Ye also possessed more powerful elixirs on his person, the effects of which were perhaps five to ten times stronger than his own continuation elixir, not to mention."

"Not only that, but Master Ye was also a grandson from outside who had a very strong background."

"So, no matter how one looked at it, Master Ye was indeed a strong man among strong men."

"Hong Changqing couldn't help but think secretly: 'If I really want to be a lackey, then I'd have to become the lackey of such a big shot like Master Ye, following someone so powerful, and still worrying about how to break through?'"

"Master Ye saw his attitude was sincere, and nodded slightly with a hint of calmness, saying: 'Since you're willing, from now on, you'll stay in Jinling and take orders from me.'"

"Hong Changqing knelt down, exclaiming excitedly: 'I, Hong Changqing, am entirely at Master Ye's beck and call!'"

"Hong Changqing nodded with a smile, pulled out a blood-red elixir from his pocket, and handed it to him, saying: 'Take this elixir back to your temporary residence and consume it. Based on your current cultivation level, this elixir should be able to help you break through and achieve enlightenment.'"

Hong Changqing heard Ye Chen's words and was immediately struck dumb, unable to say a word.

Half a moment later, he asked Ye Chen with an incredulous expression: "Ye... Master Ye... Can this elixir really help me achieve enlightenment?!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said calmly: "Given your current cultivation level, this elixir's effects should be enough to help you break through."

Hong Changqing was still skeptical and asked in amazement: "What kind of elixir is this that can have such miraculous effects?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "This is the Blood-Red Elixir for Heart Restoration. You should have seen its power before."

Hong Changqing was shocked beyond words and asked: "Master Ye... This is... the same Blood-Red Elixir for Heart Restoration that brought my grandfather back to life when he fell ill? This elixir is renowned for its miraculous effects, able to revive the dead! Do you really plan to give it to me?" JrNovels.com
