It is indeed easier to say than to do but Jiang Chen eyes no longer show a hint of hesitation. Even if he has to sacrifice his soul cauldron for the second time, he is willing to do it to prevent the bad guys from injuring his respected father. He will not allow it as long as he lives on.
He stood up by pushing the ground and activated his aura in full throttle. The three from Jun Clan immediately rushed forward to attack the boy.
"It is useless to try anything!" The sinister looking man shouted.
"Yaaah!!" Jiang Chen also rushes forward with his fist covered in sparks. "Thunderous Scapula!!"
The man pulled his subordinate and the person is burned to crisp. He then fell limps while Jiang Chen was desperate. He is at his limit. His eyes showed hesitation for a short moment before it gone completely. He stood up again, ready to give everything up to prevent his father from being wounded by these people.
The man from Jun Clan laughed and shook his head in mockery. "Foolish."
Jiang Chen turned a deaf ear and prepared to unleash another lightning skill. At this moment, everyone saw a shadow passed through and hit Jiang Chen on the back of his head.
The shadow is no other than Yuan Lin or known by the people as Master Shui.
Yuan Lin looked at Jiang Chen who fainted from the perfect hit on the back and sighed. "Good thing I am fast enough." He muttered softly. Afterward, he looked at the two men clad in black and his mouth immediately grinned to the ears. He is looking at them as if a hungry beast looking at a delicious plate of meal.
"Who-who are you?" The man clad in black is not a fool. He knew that from the qinggong (martial art) displayed by Yuan Lin showed that the man is beyond his level. The other man clad in black was silence for a moment before he said in a straightforward tone. "You are called Shui Yao Ren. What is your relation with this boy? The Jun Clan will appreciate it if you leave right now and act as if nothing happens."
"Hm?" Yuan Lin eyebrows raised upward when he heard what the man said. He then chuckled in a deep tone and said in a gentle way. "How can I act as if nothing happens? At this moment, you tried to kill and rob my disciple. How can I act like that? Can you tell me?"
The men face darkened. In a split of a second, they realized that the person they were looking at suddenly vanished and they could feel the sweats trickling down their back. "You are also being watched from the beginning by me. You were my preys." As soon as this was spoken, the two had a shocked expression remained on their face as their head rolled down to the ground off their body. Even until death, they did not know what just happened to them and how their position as the predator suddenly became the prey for other.
Their neck was slit by something sharp but the blood is not flowing out of the wound. The bloody sight of the exposed meat and bone were frozen by Yuan Lin.
Yuan Lin rummaged the men's bodies and found their spatial bags. Although the spatial bags are indeed useful for him, there were traces of the Jun Clan on the bag. Therefore, he will undoubtedly be exposed to stealing when someone from the Jun Clan sees him using the bag. Despite that, he kept the spatial bags and took Jiang Chen home as if nothing happens. He also did not forget to loot the demonic beast corpse.
When Jiang Li saw his son is heavily injured, he was panicked and immediately called for physicians. However, Yuan Lin quickly told what happens and tell the man not to worry because he is able to heal the boy. In fact, it is a blessing in disguise because when Jiang Chen has exerted power beyond his limit, his acupoint on the back of the knee, behind the neck and under the armpit is opened which make it easier for the boy to cultivate from now on. With the help of the items he told the boy to gather, cultivate is equal to the difficulty of eating and it won't be taking too many days for the boy to reach Martial General in one go.
Yuan Lin is opted for killing but he does not opt for anything else. However, he is a fast learner and with the help of the system, he is able to do everything else pretty much quickly and proficiently. In regard to healing, he has no real talent but the system showed everything he has to know. It does not show a real solution but he is able to distinguish what is he supposed to use when healing the boy and which area he should working on.
He put Jiang Chen on the bed with new clean white clothes. Then, he asked for a huge bathtub and a pill furnace. As Jiang Chen lies on the bed, Yuan Lin covered the boy's chest with the blood of night talon mixed with several herbs and fed the boy water contained his spiritual energy. As soon as the boy showed a jolt response, Yuan Lin literally threw the boy into the bathtub and work on the Thunder Dragon Qi Foundation Elixir. He does not have a single clue about apothecary and he does not opt for apothecary either. Instead of using spiritual fire, he used normal fire to control the heat of the furnace.
Based on what he knows, the system told him the suitable ingredients for the boy to consume and in bracket forms, the system wrote that they are all ingredient of the lost Thunder Dragon Qi Foundation Elixir. He does not know where to start since he does not have the recipe but his previous countless readings (novel reading) allowed him to get a clue of where to start first.
The boy is truly blessed in disguise as the core of the black tiger is more suitable to be used than the earth demonic beast core level one he told Jiang Chen to find. He melts the herbs first before he starts to refine the demonic beast core using his spiritual energy. As the core refined to its limit, he combined the herbs and the core together. The process of mixing is grueling even though it is just supposed to be mixing them all into one.
The herbs threatened to fall apart as the energy of yin-yang clashed into each other energy. Yuan Lin persisted and in the end, he managed to combine them together and the Thunder Dragon Qi Foundation Elixir is done. It is not for direct consume but to be used in cultivation inside water.
It is so potent that one will simply die if he or she consumed it directly. However, if one put it into the water and cultivate inside it, they will be able to absorb the pure energy and heal one's body to their real original state.
The elixir is not only useful for lightning cultivator like Jiang Chen but also other element cultivators. However, the difference between others and Jiang Chen, the boy will most likely to absorb the effect of the elixir faster and able to make use of every single energy of the elixir to aid in his cultivation.
As the boy soaked in the water, he started to feel familiarity with the elixir and instinctively sat in lotus pose to absorb the effect. When Yuan Lin and Jiang Li saw this, they knew that Jiang Chen has slowly started recovering and has gone past the critical condition. Yuan Lin looked at the middle-aged man and nodded his head before both of them walked out of the room to let the boy cultivate in peace.
Other may not know but Yuan Lin has the exact image in his mind of Jiang Chen turned into a martial general from this misfortune in blessing. He is confident that once the boy stepped out of the room, he is no longer the trash that everyone can intimidate.
