Death… and me

Chu Yang widened his eyes as he looked at the sword spirit's body which was bloated out. He turned out to be very corpulent at the moment, but his body flattened again. Then it bulged out again, then flattened again.

Such a cycle repeated thrice, then the sword spirit finally returned to normal.

"I see!" the sword spirit heaved a long sigh, "There's no Heaven-Rising Grass, but there's now Starwood powder and Lust Dragon's inner core added to it. No wonder this Heaven-Rising Pill can be taken now…"

The sword spirit praised, "This person who came up with this idea is really a genius! Even I didn't think of it back then."

"Eh?"

"Without Heaven-Rising Grass, the medicinal effects were reduced by half; And, by using the blood of a Supreme Martial Artist to allow the Starwood to soak in it, then mixing it with the pill, this could allow the meridians of a human to have storage functions immediately after the pill is eaten. This is similar to the storage function of the Starwood itself. Finally, the inner core of Lust dragon is one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs, so when it's added to the pill, it has the force to expand the meridians to the extreme."

"When the medicinal effects enter the body, it can be temporarily stored. Then, the person shall exercise his cultivation at full speed to force the medicinal effects to be circulated in his meridians, then returned to the elixir field. When the effects of the Starwood is about to disappear, the cultivation in the body will already have far exceeded the remaining power of the medicine. Coupled with the fact that the meridians were already widened with the aphrodisiac poison, there won't be much danger!"

The sword spirit praised, "Genius! Really a genius! It's simply incredible to be able to think of this method."

"Lust Dragon's inner core? Isn't it the most powerful aphrodisiac in the world?" Chu Yang licked his lips, "We also have it. It's not a rare thing at all…"

"Not a rare thing?" the sword spirit widened his eyes and examined Chu Yang up and down. Finally, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Do you know how many Lust Dragons are there in the Nine Heavens? Do you think that they are all over the world? Don't you know how advantageous you are? Don't you know how precious Lust Dragons are?"

Chu Yang was stunned, "Erhh…?"

"Lust Dragon isn't a type of spirit beast, and it's very difficult to determine which stage of cultivation it has. This thing is absolutely rare! Male and female Lust Dragons typically live together. They're quiet and don't like to move. Starting from being born, they can stay in the same place until they grow old and die. As long as they have things to feed on, they won't move their body! And what's good about Lust Dragons is that they can eat anything. If there's meat, they'll eat meat. If there's no meat, they'll eat grass, trees, and even stone if they're very starved. They can be full from anything they eat."

"And Lust Dragons are silent when they move, and they don't emit a bit of aura of energy. If one is in the cave, even when a ninth stage Supreme Martial Artist is outside the cave, as long as the Lust Dragon don't move, he won't notice!"

"You think that it's very easy for you to obtain that two Lust Dragons. But have you ever thought how many years you lived in that Beyond The Heavens? There are two Lust Dragons outside that small place, but who had ever discovered it? If not for Jing Menghun igniting the whole mountain on fire, which burnt the stone red and forced the Lust Dragons out, I'm afraid you won't be able to find one even if you're given ten lives!"

"If not for your Nine Tribulations Space, even if you kill the Lust Dragon, you won't be able to get so much Lust Dragon's blood and inner core! Before Lust Dragons die, they'll all blow themselves up, and their inner cores will also have to explode together. No flesh and blood will remain behind!"

The sword spirit said angrily.

He was really speechless towards this guy who didn't admit that he had received any benefit although he had. Chu Yang had a treasure in his hands, yet he treated it like grass? What nonsense is this?!

Chu Yang instantly oozed sweat, saying, "I see… Luckily, I didn't waste much."

"Do you think that you can waste it to your own will?" the sword spirit said angrily, "Do you want to eat more meat or drink more blood? Regardless of which one, as long as you eat or drink it slightly excessively, they can poison you to death! Yet you are feeling lucky here? If not for me trying hard here to help you save the Lust Dragon's corpse, you won't even get a hair out of it!"

Chu Yang was now sweating profusely by the sword spirit's scolding. He finally became angry and argued, "That's your own will! Did I beg you to keep it? You nag so much for doing just a little thing. You can ruin it if you want…"

The sword spirit quietened down instantly.

Sword Master Chu was very unreasonable in his words. But the sword spirit dared not to do anything. Besides… the Nine Tribulations Space belonged to Sword Master Chu. The sword spirit could keep things, but as for destroying them… If Sword Master Chu didn't agree, how could they be destroyed?

That's definitely impossible.

So the sword spirit retreated quietly. With such an unreasonable sword master, no matter how powerful the sword spirit was, what's his use for not being able to argue?

Chu Yang laughed, saying, "This is called a forceful person can defeat ten skillful people!"

The sword spirit pouted his lips and said, "A rogue can defeat ten righteous gentlemen. You just mean that!"

Sword Master Chu snorted, "I'm just a rogue. So what?"

The sword spirit was speechless.

Sword Master Chu was very contented to gain the upper hand. He asked enthusiastically, "Can we produce this kind of pills?"

The sword spirit said restlessly, "We have all other medicines. And, even if there's any lacking one, we can use Jade Snow Spirit Ginseng and a bit of Mysterious Yang Jade Essence to replace them. Now, with a little Starwood powder, the pills can be produced. And, pills that come out from me is absolutely much stronger than this thing. Although the medicinal effect will be reduced from the original 1,000-years-worth cultivation to that of 500, there's definitely no hangover. At most, there's only the problem of spiritual state and divine spiritual state to worry about… But no one can die from it."

Chu Yang was overjoyed, "That's really great! We actually have Starwood."

Thinking of the tea caddy that his elder Chu Xiaoxin had made from Starwood, Chu Yang couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

The elder would definitely not be willing to smash it all up, but he wouldn't be so stingy for Chu Yang just to scrape off a little powder from the box, right?

The sword spirit snorted and said, "You can try? Your elder is very stingy. Scraping off a little power> He can scrape off your skin!"

Chu Yang smiled, saying, "You shall wait and see! I have ways to make him give me Starwood powder at his own accord."

The sword spirit sneered.

"Oh, there should be no problem for Old Sha and Old Qin to eat two of these pills each, right?" Chu Yang suddenly thought of this matter.

"Qin Baoshan is slightly stronger, he's an eighth stage Martial Monarch; The first pill can raise him to a ninth stage peak of Monarch level, then the second pill, first stage Saint level. But you need to help him with acupuncture to widen the meridians over his body. Only then can this be foolproof."

The sword spirit's pair of sparkling eyes looked at Qin Baoshan and Sha Xinliang

The duo instantly felt chills sent up their spines.

It seemed that some powerful enemies were staring at themselves. But they looked around and realized nothing. They only saw Chu Yang with a lowered head, seemingly to be thinking about how to serve and manage the Purple Cloud Pills. The duo also dared not to disturb him…

The duo felt strange: What's going on?

"As for Sha Xinliang, his cultivation is lower than Qin Baoshan by one stage, so it's more difficult for him… And he should suffer more pain. Although he may feel as good as dying, he should be able to endure…"

The sword spirit continued speaking.

"Then that's okay. I shall let them serve first. After I finish them, we shall immediately go back to the Chu clan and ask for Starwood from my elder."

Chu Yang said excitedly.

……

Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan looked at Chu Yang nervously. Both of them knew that as long as Chu Yang said yes, then there's absolutely no problem for serving them. But as long as Chu Yang said no, the duo must well not take it…

If someone else served this pill, there would be at least a Monarch Saint of higher stages be at their side to guard over him and putting in all efforts to help stabilize his meridians. But now, in front of both of us was a teenager of 18 or 19 years old…

The two of them wanted to cry as they thought about this.

"Yes, you can serve them!" Chu Yang spoke as he finally raised his head.

The duo was excited.

"But you would experience the agony that's as good as dying…" Chu Yang continued.

The duo's faces broke down.

"Who shall come first?" Chu Yang asked straightforwardly. Chu Yang couldn't wait to go back home to refine his own Purple Cloud Pills.

"Me!"

"Me!"

Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan stepped forward at the same time.

The two of them had burning eyes which were full of resolution.

They hadn't eaten the pills before. Although the pills were used to improve cultivation, they were absolutely dangerous. Whoever tried it first would face more danger! The last one would also be mentally prepared and more experienced just by watching the first one going through the process.

The duo rushed to take the medicine first, as they really wanted to take more risks first and create more opportunities for the other!

If there's any danger, I'm willing to face it myself and die for my brother!

Chu Yang's heart turned hot.

Qin Baoshan took a step forward and said, "I'm one stage higher than you. Why are you fighting with me?" Without saying anything further, he grabbed the jade bottle, poured out a pill, used his two fingers and squeezed out the wax, and swallowed it down. Then he sat down with his legs crossed.

Sha Xinliang's words were held back in his throat, fearing that saying at this time would disturb his brother's mood. His face was flushed and anxiousness was over his eyes.

You bastard! Even if you go first, you have to do some preparation first. You swallow it just like that… Are you finding death for yourself?!

Sha Xinliang roared angrily in his heart.

But if Qin Baoshan didn't do this, then it would be he himself who did it. He even decided so.

They were now old brothers who had hundreds of years of friendship. Both of them would rather have themselves die in front of their brother than to have their brother die in front of themselves! It would be unbearable should this happened!

"Step aside!" Chu Yang shouted. 36 silver needles suddenly appeared in his hands. The needles flashed glaringly.

Just at the moment when Qin Baoshan's face revealed a trace of pain, Chu Yang hurled forward and without hesitation, inserted a needle violently into the Baihui acupoint, only revealing the needle handle at the outside!

Sha Xinliang shuddered as he looked at it! His eyes widened! That was absolutely a fatal body part. Such a long needle was actually inserted into it…

Following which, Chu Yang didn't stop and swiftly inserted one needle at Qin Baoshan's chest, three at his elixir field, three at the back of his head. Then with a kick, Qin Baoshan's body started to spin like a gyro. Then the needles in Chu Yang's hands shot on Qin Baoshan's back like raindrops!
