"Why did you come back?"
Sipping her tea, her beautiful eyes turned towards Gu Chenfeng, Ling Qiushui asked, "Facing three Nascent Soul Stage experts, arenât you afraid of death?"
"Afraid! Of course Iâm afraid! Who isnât afraid of death?" Gu Chenfeng quickly responded, "But Iâm more afraid that Uncle Qiushui might die. If I see Uncle Qiushui in danger and donât try to save her, and this causes her death, I would never forgive myself and would live in pain forever."
After hearing Gu Chenfengâs words, Ling Qiushui felt a slight twinge in her nose, almost unable to hold back her tears.
Ye Yunshan and the three Elders all nodded with smiles, clearly very approving of Gu Chenfengâs words.
If it had been anyone else, facing a Nascent Soul Stage expert, they would have probably run away by now.
Ling Qiushui made great efforts to control her emotions, forcing a smile, and gently said, "What a silly boy."
Gu Chenfeng shrugged and smiled slightly, "As long as Uncle Qiushui is okay, besides, silly people have their own blessing."
Ye Wushan approached Ling Qiushui and said, "Fairy Qiushui, your aura is flickering; if you donât mind, this old man would like to check your condition."
"I donât mind, thank you Elder." Ling Qiushui nodded gratefully.
Ye Wushan channeled his Soul Power into Ling Qiushuiâs body, first checking the injuries, then the cultivation.
After a moment, Ye Wushan frowned and said, "As expected..."
Seeing Ye Wushanâs serious expression, Gu Chenfeng quickly asked, "Elder, how is it? Is there any problem?"
Ye Yunshan seemed to guess something, and frowning, he asked, "Elder, could it be..."
"Alas." Ye Wushan sighed and said helplessly, "Fairy Qiushuiâs injuries are manageable, but her Power of Origin is heavily depleted, injuring her Spirit Root foundation, causing her cultivation to decline."
"What? Has Uncleâs cultivation declined?" Gu Chenfeng was greatly shocked, then hurriedly asked, "Elder, what is Uncleâs current cultivation?"
"Early Stage of Nascent Soul." Ye Wushan slowly said, "Fortunately, the injuries were controlled in time, otherwise it might have fallen to the Golden Core Stage."
Ling Qiushui showed no change in expression, lightly laughing, "When I was channeling the Power of Origin, I had already guessed the result, the only thing I couldnât guess was that I would still be alive."
Saying this, Ling Qiushui couldnât help but feel grateful to Gu Chenfeng once more. If not for Gu Chenfengâs daring rescue, not only would her life be lost, but the Celestial Technique would surely be stolen.
Ye Yunshan frowned and said, "Injuring the foundation makes recovery extremely difficult, and Fairy Qiushuiâs cultivation, Iâm afraid, will be hard to advance."
"It doesnât matter." Ling Qiushui optimistically smiled, "Itâs destined to be so, and thereâs nothing I can do, but fortunately, it wonât affect my alchemy."
"Uncle Qiushui, please donât worry, I will help you restore your foundation and assist you in recovering your cultivation as soon as possible." Gu Chenfeng was not worried at all, his eyes filled with confidence.
"You always have a solution! Instead, you should focus on your cultivation." Ling Qiushui rolled her eyes.
Being a Sixth Grade Alchemist herself, Ling Qiushui couldnât restore her damaged foundation, so how could she believe a sixteen-year-old boy?
Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Uncle Qiushui, rest assured, I will definitely cultivate diligently."
Looking towards Ye Yunshan, Gu Chenfeng clasped his fists courteously and said, "Patriarch Ye, my uncleâs injuries have just recovered and need time to recuperate. We will have to disturb the Ye Family for a few more days, and I hope Patriarch Ye will forgive us."
"Brother Feng, youâre being too polite." Ye Yunshan joyfully smiled, "Not just a few days, even a few months or a few years wouldnât be a problem. Fairy Qiushui can rest and recover peacefully."
"Thank you, Patriarch Ye!" Gu Chenfeng clasped his fists with gratitude.
"Brother Feng, no need to be formal, let Fairy Qiushui heal well, we wonât disturb any further." Ye Yunshan clasped his fists and smiled, then left the room with the three Elders.
After Ye Yunshan and the others left.
Gu Chenfeng refilled Ling Qiushuiâs teacup and smiled, "Uncle Qiushui, I still have two Sixth Grade Nine Revolutions Great Rejuvenation Pills here, which are enough to fully restore you."
Ling Qiushui sighed and said, "What use is a full recovery?"
"If cultivation cannot be improved, it means the Alchemy Realm cannot be heightened. Damaged foundation, Iâm afraid even a Seventh Grade Alchemist is powerless."
Ling Qiushuiâs face was full of distress and displeasure. To say she didnât care would be a lie; she just didnât want to show it in front of Ye Yunshan and the others.
Seeing Ling Qiushui full of worries, Gu Chenfeng laughed and said, "Uncle Qiushui, I have a way to restore your foundation, so donât worry."
"Do you really have a way?" Ling Qiushui looked at Gu Chenfeng and asked, sensing that Gu Chenfeng wasnât lying.
"Uncle Qiushui, this is the Nine Revolutions Great Rejuvenation Pill, please heal well. I will be back soon." Gu Chenfeng smiled mysteriously, left the elixir, and walked out of the room.
"Could it be the Eternal Celestial Emperor?" Ling Qiushuiâs expression suddenly changed, instantly thinking of the Eternal Celestial Emperor.
Shortly thereafter.
Gu Chenfeng arrived at the main hall of the Ye Family.
Ye Yunshan warmly smiled and said, "Brother Feng, is there anything else? Anything you need, just say the word."
Gu Chenfeng clasped his fists and said, "Patriarch Ye, I would like to ask the Elder to refine a Sixth Grade Pill."
"A Sixth Grade Pill?" Ye Yunshan and the three Eldersâ faces dramatically changed, shocked to the point of being petrified.
Is Gu Chenfeng making a mistake?
Ye Wushan is only a Fifth Grade Alchemist, not a Sixth Grade Alchemist, how could he refine a Sixth Grade Pill?
Ye Wushan smiled wryly, "Brother Feng trusts this old man so much, this old man is flattered, but unfortunately, Iâm only a Fifth Grade Alchemist and cannot refine a Sixth Grade Pill."
"This old man wishes to help but is powerless."
Ye Yunshan asked in confusion, "Brother Feng, what Sixth Grade Pill do you want to refine? Canât it wait until your uncle recovers completely?"
"My uncleâs situation canât wait." Gu Chenfeng slightly frowned, "I worry that if we delay, her realm may drop further, so we must treat the foundation as soon as possible."
"I purchased the materials to refine the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill from the association, which can treat and restore the damaged foundation."
"Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill?"
"Treat and restore the damaged foundation?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunshan and the three Elders widened their eyes, extremely shocked, their hearts surging with great waves.
Ye Wushan was utterly shocked and said, "Does a pill for treating foundations truly exist? This old man has never heard of it."
"Isnât it said that the treatment of a foundation relies on long-term self-repair? Are there pills for it too?" Ye Yunshan asked in disbelief.
"Of course, there are." Gu Chenfeng calmly smiled, "Elder, I also have the alchemy technique for this pill. Even a Fifth Grade Alchemist can refine it, though it consumes a lot of Soul Power, so I ask for your assistance."
"You have the alchemy technique?" Ye Wushan and the others were once again shocked.
"Yes!" Gu Chenfeng nodded.
"Alright!" Ye Wushan decisively said, "If thereâs truly an alchemy technique, this old man is willing to try. A pill for treating the foundation, this old man has never even heard of it."
Once Ye Wushan successfully refines it, the Ye Family will undoubtedly shake countless forces, large and small!
