Chapter 79: Walking Sideways Outside
Chi Yu came back. He brought the precious medicine from his ethnic group and came to find Chen Xia as soon as possible.
"This is the precious medicine that my father prepared for prolonging his life after reaching the peak of the Mending Heaven Realm. You can take it and it should be able to nourish your qi and blood."
Chen Xia was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "Then what about your father?"
"He should be okay. My father is still young." Chi Yu replied with his arms crossed. It seemed that his father was indeed quite young.
Anyone a bit more experienced wouldn't have let Chi Yu take out the precious medicine like this.
However, Chen Xia didn't accept it. He picked up his teacup, took a sip gently, and shook his head.
"You'd better keep it for yourself. I don't need it. When you go back home, if you can take out the precious medicine, you should also be able to save your life."
If it was the elders in the sect who gave it to him, Chen Xia would have accepted it. But since it was from Chi Yu, he really couldn't take it.
There was no reason to take advantage of his own brother.
Chi Yu, however, shook his head and said very straightforwardly, "Don't worry. I've thought it over. I won't go back to the ethnic group for ten thousand years. When I go back ten thousand years later, my father probably won't be able to beat me either. Hahaha!"
Chen Xia didn't say anything. He took several sips of tea and then said slowly, "Your father is really unlucky to have a son like you."
Chi Yu didn't say much. Since Chen Xia didn't want it now, he just hid the precious medicine well. Anyway, it would definitely be useful in the future.
"By the way, let me have a look at your precious medicine." Chen Xia said curiously. Although he didn't want to take it, he still wanted to see what level of pills the precious medicine of Chi Yu's ethnic group was.
"Okay." Chi Yu nodded and took out the precious medicine from his crotch.
At first, there was a hazy and crystal-clear color, like a rainbow after the fog. One couldn't see what was inside clearly, only a colorful fog could be seen.
This was the pill qi, and it was the excellent seven-colored pill qi. One could tell the quality of the pill's grade at a glance.
At least a technique of the perfect grade was required to refine precious medicine with seven-colored pill qi.
Such pills, if taken outside, not to mention the powerful beings at the Mending Heaven Realm, even those Quasi-Sage old monsters would come to snatch them.
No wonder Chi Yu's father didn't let Chi Yu take it out.
"You're really good at hiding it." Chen Xia praised Chi Yu.
"This is my storage magic weapon." Chi Yu smiled and put the precious medicine back.
The two of them started staring at each other again.
"I heard that the regional restrictions have been lifted and formal disciples can come to the preparatory disciples' area." Chi Yu asked curiously.
"Yeah." Chen Xia nodded. "But it doesn't matter. In the future, just mention my name and you can strut around in the preparatory disciples' area."
This was the truth. Chen Xia could really strut around in the preparatory disciples' area now. Everyone else had to make way when they saw him.
When the junior elders saw Chen Xia, they also had to exchange greetings and even give some gifts, hoping that after Chen Xia achieved great success, he could give them a little protection.
The junior elders were the elders in charge of the preparatory disciples' area. They were mainly responsible for governing the preparatory disciples and were all at the Mountain-Moving Realm cultivation level, so there was a "junior" in front of the title.
Although they were also called elders, compared to the formal elders at the Overturning Sea Realm, they were too weak.
Because the status of junior elders was actually similar to that of formal disciples, and they were even inferior to some formal disciples with high status who had stepped into the Overturning Sea Realm.
Now, Chen Xia had three million sword intents in his body, and his actual combat record was that he had killed the sword attendants at the third and fourth levels of the Overturning Sea Realm.
This was enough to make him extremely influential in the Azure Sky Sword Sea.
The junior elders wanted to curry favor with Chen Xia. If they really succeeded, with Chen Xia's talent in the future, he would definitely be at least a Quasi-Sage. Then they would also benefit from his success.
However, what troubled the junior elders was that Chen Xia didn't seem to have the slightest intention of developing his own power. He would accept gifts, but he really wouldn't do anything for them.
The junior elders were also troubled, but judging from the current situation, among the preparatory disciples, Chen Xia was the only one worthy of currying favor with.
Di Du and Qiu Li, the two former Great Emperor's prodigies who were on a par with Chen Xia before, were too mediocre now.
They couldn't keep up with the current trend.
The current trend was Chen Xia.
In Chi Yu's understanding, he was still a bit wary of the formal disciples. After all, regardless of talent, just in terms of combat power, the lowest level of formal disciples was at the level of Di Du.
He couldn't even beat Di Du, let alone those stronger formal disciples.
I don't know if he had considered Di Du's feelings when he thought like this.
Chen Xia stretched himself, leaned against the wall, turned the empty teacup upside down, and said casually.
"Di Du and Qiu Li haven't shown up for years. I heard that they're in secluded cultivation and won't come out until they at least break through to the middle stage of the Mountain-Moving Realm."
Chi Yu's thick and bright eyebrows furrowed tightly. He grasped his clothes with his hands, and his words were a bit urgent.
"Are they already attacking the middle stage of the Mountain-Moving Realm?"
"Yeah, it's okay. It's not particularly fast." Chen Xia replied lazily and moved his back a bit to find a more comfortable position.
Compared with Chen Xia, Di Du and the others were indeed not fast.
After all, people's physiques were different. Chen Xia had once watched the snow in an extremely calm state and then reached the peak of the Mountain-Moving Realm in one step.
He could even attack the Overturning Sea Realm now, although he might not succeed, but it wasn't necessary either.
Why did the "medicine" need to grow so fast? Did he think he had lived too long?
Chi Yu was quite eager now. His cultivation level was just at the peak of the Great Vehicle Realm, and there was still a bit of distance from attacking the Mountain-Moving Realm.
If he was left behind by Di Du and the others now, he might not be able to catch up in the future.
Chi Yu got up and was about to rush back to cultivate.
"Wait." Chen Xia stopped him. He picked up the other larger teacup on the table but didn't pour tea and said.
"About the precious medicine, you must hide it well and don't take it out. If you take it out and someone sees it and wants to snatch it from you..."
"Come to me."
Chen Xia directly turned the large teacup upside down on the table. In the shadow, his expression was firm and his tone was certain.
"I'll protect you."
He had been in the Azure Sky Sword Sea for nearly three hundred years. If he didn't even have this ability, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
He had the right to say this, and he was worthy of it.
Who would dare to offend him?
Did the Great Emperor still want to live?
He was taking great risks in the Azure Sky Sword Sea, and of course, he also wanted to enjoy the rewards brought by the risks.
"Yeah." Chi Yu nodded heavily and then left quickly.
Chen Xia also slowly got up, picked up his iron pan and spatula, looked at them carefully for a couple of times, and then patted them.
"Old buddy, it's all up to you now."
He was going to learn alchemy from the little old man Zhang Daoming and see what techniques real alchemists had.
If he could really learn something, it should greatly improve his alchemy skills.
He was a bit too idle, and it would be nice to do something in other aspects.
Perhaps tens of thousands of years later, he could also become a top-notch alchemist.
Chen Xia looked at the iron pan and spatula in his hands, was silent for a moment, and seemed a bit hesitant.
Maybe being a cook wasn't a bad choice either?
