Chapter 1203 - 1202: Braving Fire and Water
His condition is so severe that if he suddenly can't catch his breath and collapses, what can we do about it?"Grandmaster, please don't get agitated. Your health is most important. If you think I'm not diligent enough, I'll work harder to refine the Seventh Rank Elixir Pills as soon as possible."
Just now, Chen Tuan had already said that Tang Rao is the pride of the Kao Shan Sect, which surely meant Tang Rao was strong. But Tang Rao was too anxious and didn't catch what Chen Tuan said clearly. He assumed Chen Tuan was angry because he thought Tang Rao wasn't strong enough, wasn't making progress.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."
Chen Tuan became even more agitated after being provoked by Tang Rao.
He came here to provoke Chen Tuan.
The Seventh Rank Elixir Pills, how many people have ever seen what they look like?
"Master, I was wrong. I won't mention the Seventh Rank Elixir Pills again. Once the Sixth Rank Rejuvenation Pill dissipates some of the energy within you, I'll give you a Solid Essence Pill and a Meridians Repairing Pill. I refuse to believe that Sixth Rank Elixir Pills can't cure your illness."
While speaking, Tang Rao transferred energy to Chen Tuan through the wrist to allow the pills within him to fully exert their medicinal effects.
"Do you think I don't know my own condition? I actually understand it very well. This isn't something that can be cured by just one elixir. It's hard to cure the illness I have!"
Chen Tuan said to Tang Rao earnestly.
Indeed, only the person who is ill understands it best. Chen Tuan had already known that this day would come; he just didn't want Tang Rao to know and be saddened alongside him.
"Impossible, it can't be. Your illness isn't that bad. Grandmaster, hold on."
Tang Rao hated himself for not returning earlier to spare Chen Tuan some suffering.
To alleviate Chen Tuan's suspicion, Tang Rao suddenly shifted the topic: "Grandmaster, do you know who previously attacked the Kao Shan Sect?"
"It was from within the endless sea. Ever since the Hellfire Shark left, the sea beasts within the infinite sea suddenly mutated. They can transform into human forms and provoke everywhere, especially towards the Kao Shan Sect, bullying it relentlessly."
Chen Tuan regretted that if he were stronger, he wouldn't have been beaten by the sea beasts within the endless sea with no power to fight back.
This group of sea beasts, used to oppression, suddenly became inhuman. They kill everywhere, especially targeting the Kao Shan Sect.
Because in their eyes, challenging authority equated to gaining ultimate victory.
"If it's really the sea beasts, dealing with this matter will be a bit troublesome."
Tang Rao stroked his chin, pondering deeply. There are so many sea beasts within the endless sea. Who could possibly know who exactly is challenging the Kao Shan Sect?
"Pfft."
While Tang Rao was deep in thought, Chen Tuan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
"Grandmaster, what's wrong?"
Tang Rao quickly supported Chen Tuan and helped him regulate his breath.
"I'm fine. After spitting out that mouthful of blood, I feel so much lighter."
Chen Tuan felt a kind of lightness he had never felt before.
"So, as long as you spit out the black blood, it should be fine, right?"
Tang Rao then released the small fire ginseng, which circled Chen Tuan, and the small fire ginseng nodded at Tang Rao.
"All physical functions have been adjusted to their best state. Taking the remaining two elixir pills together will be fine now."
Tang Rao has always trusted in the small fire ginseng's words implicitly.
"Alright, I'll give it to him now."
Without further ado, under Tang Rao's guidance, he successfully fed the additional two Sixth Rank Elixir Pills to Chen Tuan.
Chen Tuan wanted to refuse; those Sixth Rank Elixir Pills, there were three of them at once. It seemed as if Tang Rao was so wealthy.
"Tang Rao, you've really made an expense today."
With the second and third elixir pills taken, Chen Tuan felt much more rejuvenated, and when he looked at Tang Rao, his vision became clearer.
"Grandmaster, I feel the anger within you has subsided quite a lot; you've suppressed the previous Death Energy."
Upon seeing Death Energy before, Tang Rao would never have expended so many elixirs because he knew that when the Death Energy appeared, death was inevitable. But now, even if the Grim Reaper stood before Tang Rao, he could drive them away.
His determination even frightened the Grim Reaper.
"I also feel like I'm not someone on the brink of death anymore."
Chen Ajiu witnessed everything happening between Chen Tuan and Tang Rao and, seeing that Chen Tuan could stand by himself, was moved to tears.
"Fuyao, you're okay now?"
She held Chen Tuan's hand and softly spoke to him.
"I feel like I'm fine now, but who really knows for sure."
Chen Tuan's current condition is unpredictable. Even if he seems fine now, what if things suddenly deteriorate later?
"Fuyao, I believe in Tang Rao, and I believe in you. You will be fine."
Chen Ajiu didn't know why she had so much faith in Chen Tuan. Her subconscious never entertained the thought that anything would really happen to him. Perhaps this was the legendary sixth sense.
As Tang Rao said, once the black blood was spat out, everything was fine with Chen Tuan.
He could even move around on the ground and walk out the door to pull weeds by the door.
"Grandmaster, I leave my Grandmaster in your care. After today, I must go to the Divine Realm. When the time is right, I'll bring you all up there, no longer suffering the torment from the sea beasts of the Land of Immortals."
Tang Rao offered Chen Ajiu a piece of reassurance.
Going to the Divine Realm was the dream they pursued all their lives, yet they knew it wasn't easy to ascend. Tang Rao must have spent considerable effort, whether it was achievable or not. As long as Tang Rao had this intent, they were satisfied.
To celebrate the triple blessing, Tang Rao treated all the brothers of the Quan Kaoshan Sect to good food and drinks.
How could he not be happy? Tang Xiaobai was born, Chen Tuan was saved, and Tang Rao planned to take them all to the Divine Realm—each of these events was something that could make Tang Rao wake up laughing in his sleep.
"Brothers, today marks my first day as a father. In the future, Tang Xiaobai's great ambitions will rely on your support as well. In gratitude from the future Tang Xiaobai, I offer a toast to everyone."
Tang Rao raised his glass, first drinking a cup to show his respect to everyone.
"Boss, there's no need to be so polite. The young master's growth is our responsibility. As long as the young master needs us, we'll be willing to go through fire and water for him."
The members of the Kao Shan Sect unanimously expressed their determination to Tang Rao.
"Brothers, no need for such heavy words. Tang Xiaobai will have to walk his own path in the future. If he ever needs the help of his elders, please lend him a hand, so he doesn't stray too far off course."
Tang Rao spoke candidly, from the heart. Having been through it, he had walked more winding roads than eaten white rice. It's because he knew how tough those winding roads were that he wanted his son to experience fewer hardships and more moments of success.
"For the young master, we would die a thousand deaths!
Voices rose and fell in succession, mixing and overlapping, as everyone drained their cups and smashed them to the ground, creating a crisp shattering sound.
