Chapter 128 Researching Elixirs
Ye Luo suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, after you drank my blood, didn't you notice any changes?"
Jun Yi's eyes flickered slightly. "What do you mean?"
"Hmm... well, do you feel like you're about to advance to a higher level?"
"..."
Jun Yi said speechlessly, "I'm already a dragon, how else can I advance?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo thought for a moment and realized that what he said made sense. "Uh... what about cultivation level? Has it increased in any way?"
"Yes." Jun Yi thought for a moment and replied truthfully, "But for me, it's negligible, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Jun Yi paused suddenly, then smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Each time he drank the blood, his headaches seemed to be greatly relieved, but his desires became even more unbearable...
In addition, as a dragon, his mating season was approaching, and being able to only watch helplessly with such a beautiful woman in his arms every day was a sweet torture for him.
Jun Yi lay on his side on the bed, watching Ye Luo begin to meditate cross-legged again, a look of joy on his face.
At this rate of effort from his precious child, he's one step closer to completely devouring him and carrying the dragon egg...
His golden eyes darkened slightly, revealing a hint of excitement and anticipation; just thinking about it made him impatient.
The next day, early morning.
After breakfast, Nan Yushan invited Ye Luo and Yu Xian'er to the council hall, mainly to discuss the treatment plan and countermeasures.
Ye Luo: "Uncle Nan, although we have come up with many prescriptions, there are still some things we need to consider. Would you be willing to reveal more information about this bloodline?"
"Sure, it's not a secret."
Nan Yushan smiled and continued, "The Nan family genealogy records that thousands of years ago, after a great battle with a peerless demon, the Nan family ancestor was accidentally cursed by a secret technique, which led to this bloodline problem."
"A secret curse?" Ye Luo frowned slightly. What kind of curse could last for thousands of years? That must be terrifying.
Nan Yushan's face was full of vicissitudes. "Alas, because of this, our clansmen can no longer break through to become high-level cultivators. Therefore, our ancestors had no choice but to migrate down from the Upper Cultivation Realm."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo looked surprised. He hadn't expected that the Nan family was originally from the Upper Realm, but had gradually declined over time.
After pondering for a moment, he transmitted his voice to Jun Yi, who was hidden inside his clothes, and asked, "Is your headache also caused by some kind of curse?"
Jun Yi: "It shouldn't be, my brothers don't have these symptoms..."
"Oh? So you're the only one of its kind?"
Jun Yi: "..."
Hearing Jun Yi's answer made Ye Luo feel troubled.
so.
They don't have the same illness anymore?
Seeing that Ye Luo was frowning and silent, Nan Muyin suddenly felt a little uneasy. "Junior Brother, is something wrong?"
"Um...it's nothing, it's just that the treatment might become a little more complicated."
Upon hearing this, the elders of the Nan family became somewhat anxious. Ye Luo was now their only hope; if they failed again this time…
"Young friend Ye, you must think of another way to help us."
Seeing the expectant look in the eyes of the Nan family's eldest elder, Ye Luo naturally didn't want to disappoint them, so after thinking for a moment, she said, "I will do my best."
Ye Luo and Yu Xian'er exchanged a glance and continued, "Uncle Nan, my second senior sister and I plan to go into seclusion to research elixirs. Please prepare the medicinal materials listed above."
Nan Yushan glanced at the list briefly, nodded, and said, "Okay, of course, no problem. I'll instruct them to take care of it right away. Is there anything else you need?"
Ye Luo hesitated for a moment and said, "Also... we may be making mistakes along the way, so we need a member of the Nan family to test the medicine... preferably someone whose cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul stage."
“No problem, I’ll be the one to test the medicine.” The eldest elder of the Nan family said without hesitation, “If I, an old man, die, so be it. I’ll just be paving the way for the younger generation.”
"Elder, you mustn't!" The others all tried to stop him. At this moment, Nan Muyin saw the resolute look on her father's face, so she spoke first: "I will go. As the direct descendant of the Nan family, I have an inescapable responsibility for this matter."
"How can this be allowed!"
"No, please give it back to me!"
Seeing the way the group was scrambling to "take the fall," Ye Luo was speechless. She said, "Uh... it's not that serious. Why are you all acting like you're going to your deaths..."
"Father, please let me go."
After looking at Nan Muyin for a moment, Nan Yushan sighed and said, "Alright then!"
That day, Ye Luo and the others went to the back mountain where the spiritual energy was abundant, entered a secret room, and began to make intensive preparations for refining medicine.
Looking at the tightly closed stone gate, Nan Yushan instructed his Nascent Soul stage clansmen to strictly guard and patrol the surrounding area, ensuring that no one disturbed them. He sighed, "Success or failure hinges on this..."
"It will definitely succeed, it will definitely succeed!" The elder's face was full of expectation.
"Let's hope they succeed!"
Upon entering the secret chamber, Jun Yi emerged from Ye Luo's robes and transformed into a streak of silver light, leaving Yu Xian'er stunned and speechless. "You...you're a dragon?"
Jun Yi looked at Ye Luo with a playful glint in his eyes, and smiled at her, "Hello, Second Senior Sister."
"Huh?" Yu Xian'er stared blankly at the noble and handsome man in front of her, unable to come to her senses.
"What are you yelling about..." Ye Luo looked at him speechlessly, slightly disgusted, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming in. Go away and don't bother me."
"Oh..." Jun Yi smiled awkwardly, and consciously found a place to sit down, watching him intently pound the medicinal herbs.
Nan Muyin, who originally wanted to step forward to help, was pushed away by Yu Xian'er with disdain. So, he, the "test subject," could only sit next to Jun Yi, and the two looked at each other boredly.
"Want a drink?" Jun Yi waved his gold-trimmed robe, and a pot of fine wine, along with some exquisite dishes and pastries, appeared on the stone table.
Nan Muyin smiled, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the two people who were busy not far away, she said, "I didn't expect... that you and Junior Brother have this kind of relationship."
"Surprised?"
“Indeed.” Nan Muyin was telling the truth. He had never really thought about it that way until he saw Ye Luo’s body covered in ambiguous red marks that day, and he instantly understood everything.
Wild, it has to be the junior brother who's wild, finding a Daoist partner without saying a word.
It was a man.
"Actually... I was quite surprised too."
Jun Yi twirled the wine glass in his hand. He never imagined that one day he would be so infatuated with a man, and so greedy for the romantic pleasures he used to scoff at.
"Come, let's toast to fate!" Nan Muyin smiled and lightly touched his wine glass.
"Let's do it!"
