Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the two remaining jade bottles he had obtained from the secret realm's pill room last time. He was now basically certain that what he had obtained were the three most famous holy pills of the Saint Heaven Sect.
The one I ate before should be the Saint Origin Pill. We'll have to wait and see which of the remaining pills is the Saint Heaven Pill.
As for the remaining Saint Spirit Pill, Jiang Liu planned to leave it for Old Master Murong Lie. Pills that increase lifespan are hard to find, so he could only hope to extend his lifespan by advancing in rank.
Jiang Liu opened the jade bottle on his right, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. Upon smelling it, Jiang Liu immediately felt as if the shackles weighing on him had lightened. After regaining consciousness, Jiang Liu felt as if the injuries on his body were a shackle on his body.
Although Jiang Liu was already certain that this should be the Saint Heaven Pill, he still opened another jade bottle just to be on the safe side.
When the jade bottle was opened, no medicinal fragrance wafted out. Jiang Liu held the jade bottle to his nose and smelled it. He immediately felt his mind become much clearer and knew that this was the Saint Spirit Pill. He then quickly put the bottle back on.
Without further hesitation, Jiang Liu poured the pills from the jade bottle on his right into his mouth. Instantly, a rich medicinal power flowed through his entire body along his meridians.
Jiang Liu immediately felt a warm sensation throughout his body and couldn't help but let out a comfortable sound.
Wherever the medicinal power of the Saint Heaven Pill reaches, the previously damaged meridians will feel slightly warm, followed by a sense of relief, as if the invisible shackles pressing down on the body have been broken.
Jiang Liu circulated his vital energy to help the medicine dissolve. As the medicine dissolved further, Jiang Liu felt that not only were his injuries completely healed, but his strength also seemed to have improved considerably.
For two hours straight, Jiang Liu spent his time in his room refining the Saint Heaven Pill. It wasn't until almost dusk that he finally finished refining all of the Saint Heaven Pill.
Afterwards, Jiang Liu finished his practice, got up, and went to the courtyard. He focused his mind and circulated his energy, and slowly a large sword appeared in his hand. Jiang Liu threw it into the air, and then continued to gather his energy. Instantly, it was as if a strong wind was blowing through the entire courtyard.
The wind blew everything in the yard over and over, and the leaves of the big tree in the yard were swirling and flying into the sky with the Primal Qi Storm.
A large hand gradually materialized, grasping the greatsword, but the surrounding energy surged even more violently.
Jiang Liu quickly stopped, fearing that if he continued to absorb more energy, he would destroy the entire base. However, he already had an idea: he should be able to Illusory Transformation a person to fight, a fighting style only Grandmaster possessed.
However, this place is not suitable right now, so Jiang Liu could only suppress his thoughts for the time being.
Jiang Liu then examined his body again and found that the previously damaged meridians had been completely repaired and were even more resilient than before. The meridians also seemed to have expanded considerably, which explained why they could hold more vital energy.
After Jiang Liu stopped, he realized that his courtyard gate was full of people, all staring at him in disbelief. He quickly smiled at them, feeling embarrassed.
Zhang Tang turned around and chased away the people gathered at the courtyard gate before running up to Jiang Liu and respectfully saying, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Jiang, on your progress in your skills."
"Manager Zhang, this courtyard," Jiang Liu said, glancing apologetically at the messy yard.
Zhang Tang quickly replied, "Hey! This is nothing! I'll have someone clean it up later. May I ask if Senior Brother Jiang will be having dinner inside or outside?"
Jiang Liu glanced at the messy yard and said, "Let's eat outside!"
Zhang Tang bowed and went out to make the arrangements. Jiang Liu also went back to his room to tidy himself up before heading out to the main hall.
Jiang Liu arrived at the hall, he saw that everyone was gathered in twos and threes, talking loudly about something.
"That He Mingyi is simply outrageous! It's one thing to bully men and women all the time, but now he just comes to people's door and kidnaps them? And he even killed all the ordinary people?"
"Yes! It's a pity that the Mist City Martial Prohibition Hall is inactive, and our Exotic Beast Valley doesn't have any patrolling elders here. Otherwise, would we have let He Mingyi go?"
"It's probably not that the Martial Prohibition Hall is negligent, but rather that they've been bribed! Otherwise, how could the Martial Prohibition Hall not know about such a big incident?"
"Alas! The Li Family was pitiful. There were dozens of people in the family. All the martial artists and women were captured, and all the ordinary people were killed."
Jiang Liu was taken aback. This sounded exactly like the style of Corpse Valley. Back in Wind City, Corpse Valley had also made deals with the White Saint Society in the same way.
Jiang Liu then walked over to the group of people who were discussing this and asked, "What's the deal with the Li Family and He Mingyi that you were talking about earlier?"
The disciples who were discussing the matter saw that it was Jiang Liu who asked the question, and they quickly began to explain to Jiang Liu all at once.
Jiang Liu listened for a while before he understood what was going on. It turned out that there was a local powerful family in Mist City called the He Family, and He Mingyi grandson of the He Family patriarch.
They usually bully men and women, but this time they suddenly set their sights on one of the Li Family's daughters. When they couldn't get her back, they simply went to the Li Family's house and wiped them out, kidnapping all the martial artists and women.
The Li Family Lineage had only recently moved to Mist City from a county town. They had hoped to grow and prosper in Mist City, but before they could, they suffered this misfortune.
The most powerful member of the He Family is the patriarch, Rank 9 Martial Practitioner. Even so, he is considered one of the most powerful in this small town, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant.
Just then, a commotion came from the main road outside the hall. A group of people were chasing a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
"Senior Brother Jiang, that's He Mingyi. The one being chased should be a fugitive from the Li Family." A disciple from the Exotic Beast Valley quickly explained when he saw Jiang Liu looking outside.
"Go and bring He Mingyi in, along with the child," Jiang Liu casually ordered.
"Yes!" the disciples replied excitedly.
One by one, they rushed out of the hall and surrounded He Mingyi.
Before long, they threw Young Master He in front of Jiang Liu like a dead dog. The child timidly followed him in. As for the henchmen, they were all brought in, bound hand and foot.
At this moment, Young Master He was no longer the arrogant man he had been. He looked at Jiang Liu with a look of terror and threatened, "Release me now, or my grandfather will come with his men and won't let you off the hook."
At this moment, a disciple from the Exotic Beast Valley laughed loudly, "Open your dog eyes and see where you are. Even if your grandfather or your ancestor came, they wouldn't dare to make a move."
"Alright, no need to waste words with him. Throw him into the secret room, I'll question him later," Jiang Liu ordered. Immediately, two disciples from the Exotic Beast Valley dragged He Mingyi away. Then, Jiang Liu turned to the child and asked, "Are you from the Li Family?"
Upon hearing this, the child immediately knelt down and cried out, "My lord, I am from the Li Family! Please, my lord, avenge my Li Family!"
"Alright, get up now! Steward Zhang, please settle him in first, and you can arrange things as you see fit from now on! I'll go ask He Mingyi first." Jiang Liu finished speaking and walked towards the secret room.
