Chapter 59: Dragon and Tiger Yin Yang Pill
Since ancient times, all warriors who condensed the Golden Elixir in the realm of mythology have become unparalleled legends in the Jianghu, breaking through the heavens and dominating the four seas as the strongest. The only problem is that the energy required for the Golden Elixir is just too vast.
In the distant and ancient era, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and it was still possible to nurture such a strong person at that time. However, in recent years, nearly a thousand years have passed, and the sudden change in heaven and earth has caused a sharp decline in spiritual energy. Now, even top-notch masters are rarely seen in the Jianghu, and legendary-level strongmen have not appeared for thousands of years. This shows that this world is no longer suitable for giving birth to legendary-level strongmen, and there is not enough energy to nurture super-strong masters of this level.
Linghu Chong was an absolute unexpected, a traverser, a series of magical experiences made him break through the shackles of heaven and earth, broke the physical ascension, became the first myth-level strongman in a thousand years, and also a Golden Elixir strongman.
With the current spiritual energy of heaven and earth, how can it support this master? Moreover, to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, one must break through the boundary, merge with the Tao, and borrow momentum to bring in nearby spiritual energy to nourish oneself during the breakthrough. In ordinary times, one can only accumulate bit by bit, but for Linghu Chong, this is undoubtedly like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water, far from enough.
At the beginning, Linghu Chong absorbed with all his might and barely managed to maintain a balance between intake and output. With the help of the Golden Elixir, he improved his physical body, but after practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Paramita for eleven layers, his physical body underwent another transformation, causing the Golden Elixir in his dantian to require a large amount of energy, eventually losing control and knocking himself unconscious.
For the situation where Jindan absorbs its own energy in the body, Linghu Chong has already thought of a countermeasure. When he really can't control it, he will turn his internal true yuan to seal the Jindan. However, at that time, his martial arts realm and strength will be greatly discounted, and he may fall back to the initial stage of the Mythical Realm.
Originally, according to his calculations, it would take at least two more years to exceed his own endurance, but unexpectedly, he had recently encountered a series of strange events and learned the unparalleled protective divine art of Long Xiang Ruofu, after which his physical body underwent another transformation, leaving him unprepared.
He made up his mind that after Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in the golden basin, he would return to Mount Hua's Reflection Cliff to meditate and seal away the Golden Elixir, otherwise he would eventually be killed by himself.
Dongfang Bubai saw Linghu Chong's dejected and disheartened appearance, and couldn't help but put aside a few points of seriousness, smiling leisurely: "The situation within your body is extremely strange, with an extreme craving for internal energy and true qi. Never before has anyone heard of such symptoms."
Linghu Chong curled his lips and thought to himself, "You naturally wouldn't have heard of it, but I'm probably the only legendary master in history who managed to almost get killed by my own successfully refined Golden Elixir. It's too embarrassing."
Linghu Chong naturally wouldn't explain the truth to Dongfang Bubai, not for any other reason but that he couldn't bear to lose face in front of him. He only thanked him and said: "Brother Dong, how did you come to Hengshan City? This time I owe you one, if it weren't for your help, I would have definitely died in the wilderness with no place to rest."
"Lord Hu, don't be polite. We've interacted with each other before, how could I see you die and not save you? Alright, I see that your body is currently weak, but there's no danger to your life. I have a pill here, its effect is quite good, take it to regulate your body."
Dongfang Bubai took out a delicate small jade bottle, poured out a golden pill from it, and dissolved it in a bowl of clear water. She manipulated her inner energy with her hands, and soon the medicinal liquid in the ceramic bowl started to boil. A refreshing fragrance filled the entire room, causing Linghu Chong's expression to change greatly.
This is absolutely a top-grade elixir, with boundless medicinal power. An ordinary martial artist would certainly explode from taking it, but for him, who possesses the Golden Elixir and is extremely weak, it's simply a divine medicine, a super powerful tonic. Dongfang Bubai really knows how to make things worthwhile; such a treasure is probably rare even in the entire world.
Dragon and Tiger Yin Yang Pill, legend has it that the myth-level peak alchemy grandmaster Zhang Daoling Zhang Tian Shi gathered 149 kinds of heavenly and earthly spiritual medicines to refine for 49 days, and on the day the pill was formed, the wind and clouds changed color, dragons and tigers accompanied each other, and fragrance filled the sky. This is an extraordinary divine pill that only the strongest masters at the peak can take. Any warrior who forcibly takes this pill will surely explode and die, without exception.
The Dragon and Tiger Yin Yang Pill is a treasured heirloom of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, a sacred medicine for healing injuries. When consumed by an extraordinary expert who has reached the ultimate realm, it can extend one's lifespan by fifty years and increase their cultivation power by one cycle. It has been directly controlled by the sect masters throughout the generations and has been passed down to this day, with only one pill remaining, making it extremely rare and precious.
If the previous leaders of the Day and Month God Sect knew about this situation, they would definitely jump out of their graves and scold loudly, it's too humiliating. Thinking back to those years, they were all treasured like life, even if they were seriously injured and dying, they wouldn't dare use them, but now they are being wasted by Dongfang Bubai on an ordinary disciple of a hostile force, it's simply unreasonable.
Dongfang Bubai helped Linghu Chong up, and fed him the medicine. Originally, she didn't dare to give him the Longhu Yin Yang Dan, not because she was stingy, but because she feared its potency would be too strong for Linghu Chong to withstand.
She didn't expect that Linghu Chong's body could contain such a terrifying amount of energy, and her true qi was absorbed six or seven layers but still not satisfied. This kind of true qi storage capacity is probably unmatched even by an extraordinary super strong like herself, so she felt at ease giving him the divine pill to take.
A bowl of medicine was poured into his belly, and in less than a moment, a vigorous and violent energy rose from his lower abdomen, suddenly surging throughout his entire body. Huo Chung let out a loud moan of comfort, his heart exclaiming in delight, indeed it was a divine medicine, its efficacy was incredibly potent, and in the blink of an eye, it had replenished more than half of the blood and energy that had been absorbed by the Golden Elixir.
Dongfang Bubai's entire body was tense, his expression strained as he stared at Lin Huichang, afraid that something might go wrong and ready to take remedial measures at any moment, until Lin Huichang had completely dissipated the medicinal properties and absorbed them cleanly, his face finally regaining a hint of rosiness.
Linghu Chong exerted his full strength to circulate the Jiu Yang Heart Method, constantly borrowing the medicinal power of the Longhu Yinyang Dan to nourish his body, and gradually recovering his vitality. Dongfang Bubai was tense with worry, and even her tears for his protection were seen by him, filling his heart with boundless joy and emotion.
Dongfang Bubai felt uneasy all over under Linghu Chong's affectionate gaze, and hastily left the room after saying "rest well".
In the living room, Qu Yang still stood there honestly and didn't dare to slack off, which showed how powerful Dongfang Bubai's prestige and leadership ability were.
"Què Yòu Shǐ, how did you come to know this Huashan disciple and bring him back to the inn?" Dongfang Bubai calmed down and regained his usual composure.
"Reporting to Master, I was blocked by the shopkeeper at Huiyan Building today and accidentally met Lord Leng Hu. Later, Qing Song Dao Ren of Mount Tai Sect came to challenge Tian Bo Guang..."
Qu Yang didn't dare to conceal anything, and briefly told the whole story. He begged for forgiveness, saying: "When I saw that his old wound had relapsed, I couldn't bear to see him die on the spot, so I brought him back. I hope the master will forgive me!"
"This master doesn't blame you, what you've done is good. Now Linghu Cong's internal energy has been completely depleted and the situation is critical. An extremely skilled person needs to use their own internal energy to save his life. Do you know what to do?" Dongfang Bubai said coldly.
Linghu Chong's injuries had largely recovered after being nourished by her inner energy, and with the addition of taking the last Town Calming Divine Pill, Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Dan, from the Day Moon Divine Sect. However, Dongfang Bubai discovered that Linghu Chong's body still hadn't reached a state of full saturation with the energy he needed, and she was also somewhat worried about Qu Yang, so if she were to contribute her own inner energy to Linghu Chong, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone.
"Subordinates understand, but don't know what the relationship is between Linghu Cong and the Sect Master, yet the Sect Master personally came to rescue him." Qu Yang knew he had no way to refuse, Dongfang Bubai wouldn't possibly trust him, originally planning to disable his own martial arts, giving his true energy to Linghu Cong wasn't a bad choice either.
"It's just an ordinary friend who met by chance, okay, you can go in and pass on the skill now." Dongfang Bubai said lightly.
Qu Yang's face was calm, but his heart was churning with anger. Could it be that they were just ordinary friends who had met by chance? Don't be ridiculous! Who in the Jianghu didn't know that Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Day and Night Cult, was ruthless and merciless? How could he have such a huge emotional change for an ordinary friend, even to the point of exhausting his own true energy? Had Qu Yang's brain gone bad? Had these decades been lived in vain?
But these were none of his business, and the private affairs of the Eastern Heretic were not for him to manage. Qu Yang respectfully bid farewell and entered the guest room where Linghu Chong was recuperating from his injuries.
