Whoosh!
Not long after the pill entered his throat, the old man's pallid complexion became rosy once more, and his breathing grew longer and steadier.
"Hmm?" Nie Yun frowned.
With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that under the pill's effects, the old man's condition had improved rather than worsened!
How could this be? If he truly suffered from Senile Decay Sickness, taking a One Breath Returning Yuan Pill would definitely only aggravate his condition. Yet now his body was recovering—this was clearly impossible!
Something had to be wrong somewhere!
"It truly is a fine medicine!"
Before long, the old man had completely recovered. He opened his eyes, and light blazed within them.
Whenever his illness flared up before, it would last a long while—at least half an hour. Yet after taking the pill, he had recovered in only a few breaths. That alone proved how effective this medicine was!
"I obtained it from ancient records, so naturally it is effective for you, old sir!"
The Southern Heaven Medical Saint smiled.
"Excellent!" The old man gripped the jade bottle tightly, his face brimming with excitement.
Pain and illness had tormented him for far too long. Being able to suppress them was something he had dreamed of for ages.
"Old sir, the Southern Heaven Medical Saint put considerable thought into your illness before refining such an effective medicine. Our Ye Family has always repaid kindness with kindness. Since the Southern Heaven Medical Saint has been so sincere, I... would like to appoint him as an honorary Venerable Grand Elder of our Ye Family. Would that be acceptable?"
Seeing that the pill was effective, Ye Xin at the side seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.
"This is bad..."
Hearing this, Nie Yun's heart sank.
