Zhao Xuantian stood there dumbfounded, his mind numb. He looked at the Fountain of Life, then at the Demon King's corpse; looked at the Demon King's corpse again, then back at the Fountain of Life.
Only after going back and forth several times did he dare believe it.
"Lu... Young Hero Lu, this is..."
He looked at Lu Chen in stunned confusion.
"If I'm telling you to take it, then take it. Why ask so many questions?"
Lu Chen replied.
All along, even if Zhao Xuantian had no merit, he had at least worked hard.
He counted as one of their own.
Lu Chen had never been stingy toward his own people.
Besides healing injuries, this Fountain of Life also had a certain life-extending effect.
With this bottle of Fountain of Life, Old Man could live at least another seven or eight years.
More importantly—
This bottle of Fountain of Life would clear away the aura of decay within him, restoring radiance to his muscles and blood. By then, with his many years of accumulation, he could fully break through to another minor realm.
In the Golden Body Realm, every step forward brought a considerable increase in lifespan.
So if handled properly, it would not be a problem for Old Man to live another twenty or thirty years.
"Young Hero Lu, this old man is truly too grateful to you..."
Zhao Xuantian said excitedly.
"Why so much nonsense? Drink it now and refine it properly."
Lu Chen cut off his emotional speech.
"Alright, alright."
Zhao Xuantian hurriedly nodded. Without a moment's hesitation, he swallowed the Fountain of Life from the jade bottle, then found a spot and sat down cross-legged on the ground.
The Fountain of Life was unlike other heavenly treasures.
It was absorbed and digested with extraordinary speed.
