Chapter 2028 [Evil] Yushengxiang
Qingze spoke calmly, but his voice was extremely hoarse and dry.
His fingers gripped the sword tightly, so tightly that his joints were almost turned out.
He swallowed hard, then took out a red medicine bottle from his arms, handed it to Chang Sun Chi, and continued,
"There's one more thing. For some reason, Zhan Luoying threw a bottle of medicine to us before we went down the mountain..."
The black-haired man in red stood tall, his gesture of throwing the medicine and the smile on his lips carrying a hint of arrogance.
"Since you've worked so hard, I'll give your master a bottle of Yushengxiang for free. This is a treasure that everyone in the martial arts world wants to get, so don't lose it."
Qingze recalled and said with doubt,
"On the way back, Lian Tang and I asked someone about it. They said this medicine costs a person's lifespan, but it can temporarily restore their full strength to their peak, and their physical fitness will also reach its peak in a short period of time."
"But why did he give you this medicine? I really can't understand. We were clearly looking for an antidote that can prolong life, but he gave you something that shortens lifespan. What use is there in restoring martial arts and health without even the antidote?"
Lian Tang said it unintentionally, but Chang Sun Chi's eyes moved slightly.
His amber eyes reflected the sunlight outside the window, clearer and colder than spring water, but the spring water seemed to have gradually entered the coldest winter. Snowflakes fell layer by layer, and soon the water surface was frozen so that it stopped flowing. From shallow to deep, layer by layer, it was cold to the bone.
Chang Sun Chi remained silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he slowly let out a laugh.
The sarcasm was sharp, hiding endless hostility and hatred, but also a chuckle with an underlying despair.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. The sound came quickly from far away and came to the door. Before the door was opened, they started talking hurriedly.
"Your Majesty! This is bad! News has come back from Yan Gui that Jin Liang, along with the former Gumo clan, Dayuan, and Wensu, are sending a large number of troops to our border. Yan Gui City has been under emergency defense for the past few days! The letter from the King of Jin Liang to Chi Wei is still on the way and should arrive soon!"
The door was pushed open by General Long. The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at the two old ministers who had hurried over with a very calm expression.
The other two, Qingze and Liantang, who were still unaware of this, widened their eyes in surprise. However, before they could ask what was going on, another even more terrifying guess emerged in their minds. They both showed expressions of horror and looked at the bottle that Qingze had just presented and placed on the table.
Jade produces fragrance.
A very nice and even charming name, but it is contained in such a blood-red jade bottle.
There's a strange sense of incongruity on the medicine bottle, yet it somehow fits the effect of the medicine perfectly.
It can restore your martial arts and physical condition to their peak, but at the cost of your life.
The bottle reflected a scarlet light in the sunlight, which added a sense of weirdness to Changsun Chi's eyes.
Then, in Qingze Liantang's regretful and desperate eyes, he slowly held the bottle in his palm.
He lowered his head and asked calmly,
"How long can the martial arts function last?"
Qingze gritted his teeth and answered with difficulty.
"Two months."
Chang Sun Chi smiled faintly.
“That’s enough.
