Chapter 137 Life-prolonging Golden Pill

Ou Yangming forced a smile at Ni Wangyang. The Ni family’s powerhouse had a cold and stern look on his face as he said, “Brother Ou, the men had ill-intentions, and they wanted to slander someone from the Ni family. Please don’t be confused by them.”

“I understand. Don’t worry, senior, they went all out to go against you earlier, and they weren’t going to spare you at all,” Ou Yangming responded with a smile and added after a pause, “Based on that point alone, I know that they were definitely the Ni family’s enemies, and they couldn’t have been ordered by someone from your clan.”

“I’m at ease since you’re sharp-sighted.” Ni Wangyang twitched his mouth. He was still red with anger, but he forced a smile at Ou Yangming. Following that, he turned to order the two Ni family disciples strictly, “Send their corpses back to the clan for the great ancestors to handle them!”

The two baffled Yin Grade martial arts exchanged glances. Though they were unwilling to, they responded to Ni Wangyang and cleaned up the mess before leaving in a hurry with the corpses.

Ni Wangyang finally calmed down. “Brother Ou, since the problem has been solved, it’s best for us to hasten on with our journey through the night. Ah, the sooner we arrive at the Immense Forest Military Camp, the sooner we’ll be at peace.”

Ou Yangming quickly nodded in agreement. “Senior, you’re right. Yang Grade martial artists have come, but if a Supreme Great Ancestor attacks us next, we’ll be doomed...”

“Brother Ou, don’t worry. How can a Supreme Great Ancestor lay his or her eyes on us?” Ni Wangyang could not help but laugh. “That’s... Not necessarily the case!” Ou Yangming touched his chest and expressed meaningfully.

Ni Wangyang was stunned, and he was instantly guilty when he thought about the Life-prolonging Golden Pill that was carried by Ou Yangming. He was so confident earlier because he thought nobody knew about the Life-prolonging Golden Pill. If that was the case, by using the Ni family’s name, he could have successfully escorted Ou Yangming back to the Immense Forest Military Camp.

However, if news of the Life-prolonging Golden Pill had spread...

What if one was a Supreme Great Ancestor? One’s life was still limited. In order to prolong one’s life, would one even offend the Ni family?

Honestly, even Ni Wangyang coveted the Life-prolonging Golden Pill. He curbed his thoughts and said, “Stop thinking so much, let’s go!” They got on their horses, then headed toward the military camp even though it was already nighttime.

Although there were no Supreme Great Ancestors in the Immense Forest Military Camp, even a powerhouse of that level would not dare to act without restraint in the camp. The military camp represented the imperial family and the country, which was not something that could be fought against by ordinary people.

Therefore, as long as Ou Yangming and Ni Wangyang arrived at the military camp, at least their safety was guaranteed.

After traveling day and night, they finally returned safely to the military camp.

Ou Yangming was no longer a nobody because his reputation had spread far and wide in the camp after the smithing challenge against Ni Yunhong. In fact, his prestige was not inferior to Old Craftsman at all.

When they entered the military camp, Ou Yangming was recognized before he could report himself, hence he and Ni Wangyang entered the Armament Camp without obstruction.

According to military rules, goods that enter the military must be checked. Despite that, ever since Zhang Yinfan from the Provision Camp was executed and chopped into pieces, nobody had the guts to go against Ou Yangming anymore. As such, the squad leader who was guarding the gates waved his hand to let the horses pass. “Brother Ou, you have quite a high reputation in the military camp!” Ni Wangyang sighed once he entered the camp because it reminded him of his past. He had stayed in the camp for a long time, so he knew the place better than Ou Yangming did.

After seeing how the other people acted, Ni Wangyang knew that Ou Yangming definitely had a high status in the military camp.

Ou Yangming simply grinned. Since they had returned to the camp, he naturally did not have the mood to talk nonsense with Ni Wangyang. He quickly led Ni Wangyang to the courtyard, but he was stopped by a white-haired elder as soon as he entered.

“Greetings, Elder Xuehai,” Ou Yangming immediately greeted with a grave expression on his face.

The elder was the medical elder invited from Ni Yunhong’s clan. He was a person who focused on medical art and was unconcerned about external affairs, but like the three great ancestors, he treated Ni Yunhong and his younger sister with special respect. Hence, the medical elder hurried to the camp after receiving Ni Yunhong’s request, and he even kept Old Craftsman alive with spiritual medicine.

“Have you brought the spiritual pills?” The medical elder nodded at Ou Yangming, then frowned after glancing at Ni Wangyang, who entered after Ou Yangming. “Old Craftsman is extremely weak now. Without the Life-prolonging Spiritual Pills, I can’t guarantee how long he can stay alive.” Ni Wangyang was stunned, and he shook his head with a bitter smile. “Uncle Xuehai, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not here to supervise you, I’ve come to deliver you a message from Great Ancestor Xuetian.”

“A message from Great Ancestor Xuetian? Okay, go ahead.” Ni Xuehai raised his eyebrow.

Ni Wangyang quickly answered, “Great Ancestor Xuetian said that you may use the spiritual medicine generously once Old Craftsman’s life is prolonged, and that you must help the old man regain his health as soon as possible. The great ancestor has ordered me to pick some medicine from the storeroom, can you see if they’re suitable?” Ni Xuehai looked at Ou Yangming and Ni Wangyang in confusion, then left the room to take a look. He seemed rather surprised when he saw the eight sacks, and his face could not help but change when he smelled the vague fragrance in the air. When the medical elder finally opened the sack one by one to see what they contained, he gasped.

“Wangyang, did you pick them from the storeroom?”

“Yes,” Ni Wangyang replied to him loudly, “Uncle Xuehai, make do with them for now and let me know if they’re insufficient, I’ll go back to bring more for you.” Ni Xuehai’s face darkened as he scolded, “You’re a prodigal son! Do you know how tough it is for the clan to gather spiritual medicine? There are plenty of herbs here, how are they insufficient? Are you trying to empty the storeroom?”

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, but he was secretly grateful. While Ni Wangyang did not say anything, he was Ni Yunhong and his younger sister’s uncle, after all, and he chose great spiritual medicine for Ou Yangming out of his love for his nephew and niece.

Nonetheless, Ni Xuehai sighed after losing his temper for a brief moment. “Ah, Old Craftsman is still close to dying, so he can’t be saved by worldly spiritual medicine. I can’t save him even if I use all the medicine here...”

Without further ado, Ou Yangming retrieved the precious jade bottle and expressed, “Senior Ni, this is the Life-prolonging Golden Pill that I acquired from the Ni family’s forbidden area, the Chaos Cave. Old Man’s life can be saved with this spiritual pill, right?” “What? The Life-prolonging Golden Pill...” Ni Xuehai was frightened. He asked as he carefully accepted the jade bottle, “D-did you find the Land of Inheritance?”

“Yes,” Ou Yangming answered seriously, “If that isn’t the case, I wouldn’t have gotten my hands on the Life-prolonging Golden Pill.”

Ni Xuehai studied the jade bottle admiringly and sighed. “I can’t believe that I’m able to see such a peculiar medicine while I’m still alive.” “Uncle Xuehai, this matter shouldn’t be delayed, it’s best that you use the medicine now!” Ni Wangyang cleared his throat.

A medicine of such high level felt much hotter than a hot yam when it was held in one’s hands. If it attracted greedy eyes, Ni Wangyang was not confident about protecting it. Ni Xuehai’s face changed, and he instantly waved his hand and said, “You’re right, come with me.”

Subsequently, the three of them tiptoed into the room.

Ou Yangming immediately noticed Old Craftsman, who was already as thin as a lath on the bed. A lump came into his throat, and he almost broke into tears.

Ni Xuehai cast a cold look at him. “Don’t alarm him!”

Ou Yangming recalled Ni Yinghong’s warning right away, where he was told not to let Old Craftsman have extreme emotions, so he forced himself to hold back his tears.

Ni Xuehai opened the jade bottle after sitting by the bed, then poured out a thumb-sized pill.

The medicinal pill seemed to contain an unbelievable power, and it released a cooling fragrance the moment it was poured out of the bottle.

Not to mention Ou Yangming and the rest, even Old Craftsman let out a sound while he lay on the bed. In particular, there was a slight movement on the old man’s throat as if he was yearning for something.

“Life is truly wonderful...” Ni Xuehai sighed and uttered softly, then put the pill into Old Craftsman’s mouth. Ou Yangming looked at the old man eagerly, whereas Ni Xuehai explained with a deep voice, “Old Craftsman is still extremely weak, which is why he expressed his desire for the medicinal pill when he smelled it. Hehe, he has consumed the golden pill. If everything goes smoothly, the preliminary effect can be seen in half an hour’s time.”

While Ou Yangming was anxious, he forced himself to calm down. “Senior, should I stay away?”

Ni Xuehai hesitated before he replied, “Wait.”

Half an hour passed by in the blink of an eye. Ni Xuehai placed his hands on Old Craftsman’s hands, then remarked after a brief moment, “His heart meridian has become solid, so he can withstand the joy of suddenly seeing you. You may stay.” Ou Yangming was overjoyed upon hearing him, and he approached Old Craftsman in a flash.

After an unknown period of time, the old man finally opened his eyes.

His vision was still blurry such that he could not focus on anything even after he opened his eyes.

“Old man...” Ou Yangming lowered his head and choked with sobs.

Old Craftsman shivered a little. He went from looking lost to being dazed, and from being dazed to being conscious. At last, he had a clear look at the person in front of him.

“B*stard, is that you?”

“It’s me, old man, I’ve come back to see you!” Ou Yangming’s eyes were blurry due to his tears, and he forced a smile at the old man.

Old Craftsman used a lot of effort to look up, and he glanced around the room like he was looking for a weapon. Nonetheless, he gave up after some time and mumbled, “As long as you’re back, as long as you’re back...”

Ou Yangming could not hold it in any longer, and he burst out crying.
