Dragon-Tiger Elixir

"Word is you got mixed up with Evil God Cultists again?" In the martial arts class, Fang Xiong looked Chen Yu up and down, his expression strangely unreadable.

From the information he had received, Chen Yu had once again been drawn into matters involving Evil God Cultists.

This time was even more serious than Xiao Feng's case. After all, it involved Evil God Kin—no small matter.

"Teacher Fang, please don't mention it. My luck was terrible. I actually ran into something like this." Chen Yu sighed, unwilling to explain too much.

"Terrible luck?" Fang Xiong shook his head. "Quite the opposite. The fact that you came out alive means your luck was very good."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have gained quite a few benefits as well."

Chen Yu was slightly stunned. He had not expected Fang Xiong to see it that way.

He had indeed gained quite a lot this time, including an increase in his cultivation and the copied talent [Gluttonous Factor (Blue)].

But... how was Fang Xiong so certain that he had benefited?

"Teacher, it was only because the Evil God Kin failed to complete the summoning at the last moment. Otherwise, I would have had no chance of escape."

"If that counts as good luck, then I really have nothing to say."

Chen Yu spread his hands, his tone full of helplessness.

Fang Xiong raised a brow. "Heh, you should understand the saying that wealth is sought amid danger."

"Which truly successful genius in this world has never faced danger?"

"The fact that you survived means your fortune is excellent. Otherwise, you would have died long ago. How would you still be here talking to me?"

"And don't think I can't tell—you've already reached the Body Tempering Sixth Stage!"

Yes, Fang Xiong had already seen that Chen Yu was at the Body Tempering Sixth Stage.

Otherwise, he would not have been so certain.

With normal cultivation, how could someone possibly break through from the Body Tempering Fifth Layer to the sixth stage in just a few days?

The most likely explanation was that he had gained some unknown benefit during the Evil God Kin incident.

"Just as expected, I couldn't hide it from you, Teacher." Chen Yu smiled, unsurprised.

Or rather, if Fang Xiong had failed to notice, Chen Yu would have found that strange instead.

"Forget me. You probably can't even hide this little development from the people at the Enforcement Bureau." Fang Xiong shook his head.

"But you don't need to worry. This starry sky is vast enough to hold every secret."

"I'm not bringing this up because I intend to pry into your secrets. I only want to give you a reminder."

"Please, Teacher." Chen Yu straightened his posture.

He knew that Fang Xiong was a martial arts powerhouse who had traveled the vast starry sky. There had to be a reason behind his words.

He would not assume that having a panel made everyone else inferior to him.

After all... even sages had no constant teachers.

"It's true that wealth is sought amid danger, but don't forget the next line..." Fang Xiong's expression turned solemn.

"Life... can also be lost amid danger."

"Under this starry sky, there is no shortage of people blessed with great fortune, but fortune is not omnipotent."

"If a martial artist relies blindly on fortune to escape every disaster, one day, he will stumble because of that very fortune."

"That is all I have to say."

"Sure enough, fortune isn't some vague, illusory thing. Quite a few powerhouses can even sense its existence."

Chen Yu understood this from Fang Xiong's warning.

"Fortune is useful, but it is not decisive. At most, it can serve as assistance."

"What a martial artist can truly rely on is still his own hard strength."

When he came back to himself, Chen Yu had already arrived at Heaven-Bearing Estate.

By now, he was considered a regular here, so entering was no longer as troublesome as it had been at the beginning.

From afar, he could see Luo Ming peering out from a second-floor window. The moment he spotted Chen Yu, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly ran downstairs.

"Teacher, Teacher, you're finally here!"

Even after becoming Luo Ming's teacher, their relationship had only been that of ordinary teacher and student.

However, after experiencing the Evil God Kin incident and facing the threat of death together, Luo Ming had become completely convinced of Chen Yu's abilities and had even begun to depend on him somewhat.

"Looks like you've already recovered. You've got quite the nerve." Chen Yu smiled faintly.

He was not flattering him. He was merely stating the truth.

Luo Ming had personally experienced that bloody scene, yet he had recovered so quickly. His willpower was indeed not bad.

"Of course. I'm going to become the next head of the Luo Family on New Moon someday." Luo Ming was instantly delighted.

He could not help planting his hands on his hips, looking immensely pleased with himself.

"Ambitious." Chen Yu clicked his tongue, well aware of how difficult that would be.

After all, Luo Ming was only an illegitimate son. At present, he could not even set foot on New Moon.

"Hahaha! Once I become the Luo Family head, with me watching over you, Teacher, you'll be able to walk sideways across Crimson Radiance Star!" Luo Ming was even more overjoyed at Chen Yu's words.

He already seemed to be imagining the future after he became the Luo Family head.

Chen Yu shook his head, preparing to begin the day's lesson.

However, Old Qin suddenly approached him. "Chen Yu, I've already informed Master Luo about what happened before."

Naturally, Old Qin meant the matter of the Evil God Kin.

Chen Yu's gaze tightened slightly. He had never met this Master Luo before, nor had they ever even communicated.

He was even somewhat worried that the Evil God Kin incident would cost him his job. Then he would have no money to buy Body Tempering Supplements.

However, Old Qin's next words dispelled his concerns.

Old Qin slowly took a small square wooden box from his pocket and held it out before Chen Yu.

"Master has learned the full details of the incident. To thank you for lending your aid, he specially purchased this from New Moon as a gift for you."

"This is?" Chen Yu felt his body stir restlessly, as though it instinctively craved whatever was inside the box.

Old Qin smiled and slowly opened the wooden box.

In an instant, an intensely rich medicinal fragrance filled every corner of the space.

Merely smelling it made Chen Yu feel invigorated and full of vitality.

"This is called a Dragon-Tiger Elixir, a specialty of New Moon. It can accelerate the cultivation speed of martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm."

"The effects of a single Dragon-Tiger Elixir can last an entire year."

Old Qin explained.

"A Dragon-Tiger Elixir, a specialty of New Moon?!" Chen Yu had never heard of such a thing, but that did not stop him from understanding how precious it was.

Its effects lasted an entire year!

Such duration was far beyond anything a Body Tempering Elixir could compare with!

And since it came from New Moon, how could it possibly be anything ordinary?

"Teacher, hurry up and take it. I eat one Dragon-Tiger Elixir every year, so it's really not that precious."

"The Dragon-Tiger Grand Pill is the real treasure. It can reshape one's bones and improve martial arts talent. I only had one when I was little."

Seeing that Chen Yu had not moved, Luo Ming immediately urged him.

"One a year... and there's even a Dragon-Tiger Grand Pill that can reshape one's bones..." Chen Yu's lips twitched. As expected of an illegitimate son of New Moon's elite. He really is rich.

No wonder Luo Ming's cultivation had risen like a rocket despite his young age.

The Dragon-Tiger Elixir was probably just one of Luo Ming's routine cultivation resources.

Chen Yu immediately reached out and accepted this gift of gratitude from New Moon.
