Chapter 407: Rejuvenation Pill? I Have It

Not long ago, Ling Guihai, the second disciple of the Myriad Swords Sect, was critically wounded during a mission. His injuries were so severe that no healing elixirs worked; he was on his last breath. At that critical moment, a Myriad Swords Sect elder, though pained by the decision, took out a Rejuvenation Pill and gave it to him. Within just half an hour, he not only revived but also fully recovered! It was a miracle!

Cultivating a disciple like Ling Guihai would typically consume immense sectarian resources, possibly millions of spirit stones, with no guarantee of success. Considering this, the value of a Rejuvenation Pill, priced at 200,000 spirit stones, became evident. This incident made the Rejuvenation Pill famous. Several sects approached the Myriad Swords Sect, hoping to purchase the remaining two pills. One sect even offered a million, but the Myriad Swords Sect immediately rejected them. At this juncture, a Rejuvenation Pill was literally worth a life. The Myriad Swords Sect wouldn't sell it for even two or three million, let alone one million!

Liang Feiyan was reluctant to come here, precisely because he feared Nangong Xiaoyun would make this request. He gave a wry smile and said, "Senior Sister Nangong, you've already approached our Myriad Swords Sect elders, so why ask me again?" He continued, "Those two Rejuvenation Pills are now considered divine elixirs. Not only can I not make decisions about them, but even our Sect Leader would need to consult with the Grand Elders before daring to use them. Unless I, too, am on my last breath like Junior Brother Ling, I'll never get my hands on a Rejuvenation Pill in this lifetime."

Xia Chaoge sighed softly. "Senior Sister Nangong, please don't press Senior Brother Liang. This pill is indeed remarkably miraculous, and at this critical juncture, calling it a divine elixir is no exaggeration," she said. "Initially, my master personally appraised this pill. But now, when he wanted to see it again, the Myriad Swords Sect flatly refused him. For this, my master regretted for quite some time, saying he shouldn't have been deterred by the high price of 200,000 back then, essentially giving the Myriad Swords Sect a bargain."

Xia Chaoge recalled the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's traveling auction held in Qingyun City and couldn't help but sigh. Who could have imagined that those three Rejuvenation Pills would become such divine treasures? At the time, when the Myriad Swords Sect bought all three for 600,000, they were met with much ridicule. Now, every sect that attended that auction must be slapping their thighs in regret. Unfortunately, the three Rejuvenation Pills became a singular, unrepeatable treasure. Since then, they have never reappeared on the market. The only two remaining are held by the Myriad Swords Sect.

"Oh, I know," Nangong Xiaoyun sighed softly. She was well aware that a divine pill of this caliber was not something a mere disciple could decide upon. Even if her master, You Yunzi, personally requested it, the Myriad Swords Sect might not grant that favor. "I'm just... pretending I'm trying," she said, mist gathering in her eyes as she knelt despondently in front of Little White, a bitter self-mockery in her voice. Helplessness, bitterness, sadness, and self-reproach swirled together in her heart.

Liang Feiyan let out a slight breath of relief. It was good that she didn't blame him. He truly was powerless regarding this pill. "Thank you, Junior Sister Xia, for the rescue," Liang Feiyan said softly. It wasn't his incompetence that prevented him from saving Little White; anyone would have been helpless. Xia Chaoge understood this perfectly.

Xia Chaoge gave an indifferent nod, not bothering to engage with him. Her attention was entirely focused on Jiang Fan. Hearing Nangong Xiaoyun's sorrowful sobs, she first gently comforted Jiang Fan, "Martial Uncle, don't blame yourself. Medical skills have their limits, and besides, it's a demonic beast; human medical practices are inherently ineffective for them." It was Jiang Fan who had asked to see Little White. Now, upon seeing its hopeless condition, Nangong Xiaoyun's grief had been reawakened. Jiang Fan must have felt some self-reproach.

"I never intended to heal it with medical skills anyway," Jiang Fan stated. He then walked over to Little White on his own. "Senior Sister Nangong, please step aside. I'm going to heal it." Nangong Xiaoyun blinked. "Didn't you say it couldn't be saved?" Jiang Fan replied, "I only said it couldn't heal on its own. I never said I had no way."

At this, both Liang Feiyan and Xia Chaoge were stunned. Liang Feiyan mumbled, "Doesn't this guy know how severe Little White's injuries are? How dare he make such a bold claim? Is he not afraid that Nangong Xiaoyun's hope will be met with even greater disappointment, leading her to resent him?" Xia Chaoge reminded him, "Martial Uncle, Senior Sister Nangong has tried every other method, including the best healing elixirs on the market. As of now, only a Rejuvenation Pill offers any hope."

Jiang Fan nodded and said, "Considering the injuries, indeed, apart from a Rejuvenation Pill, there are no other good methods." Xia Chaoge grew even more puzzled. *You know that and still give Nangong Xiaoyun hope?* Liang Feiyan couldn't help but feel speechless. "Junior Brother Jiang, please don't pin your hopes on our Myriad Swords Sect's Rejuvenation Pills," he said. "I can't help you at all with that divine item. Please don't make things difficult for me." He wasn't wrong to think this, as the only two remaining Rejuvenation Pills were held by the Myriad Swords Sect.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan reached into his sleeve. In a moment, he produced a verdant green pill, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance and a strong aura of life. Little White, lying on the ground near death, suddenly widened its eyes. It seemed to sense the pill's extraordinary nature and its ability to save its life, letting out excited snorts from its nose.

Nangong Xiaoyun looked bewildered. "Junior Brother Jiang, what kind of pill is this? Is it also a healing elixir?" She had never seen a Rejuvenation Pill, so she naturally didn't recognize it. However, both Xia Chaoge and Liang Feiyan had. The moment it appeared, they were both utterly astonished. Even with Xia Chaoge's usual composure, she exclaimed in surprise, "A Rejuvenation Pill?" Her face was filled with confusion. How could Jiang Fan possess such a divine item? Liang Feiyan, after a moment of stunned silence, suddenly shouted, "Where did you get this elixir?" He instinctively thought Jiang Fan had stolen it from the Myriad Swords Sect, as they were the only ones who possessed such pills. But then he reconsidered: who *could* steal it, and who *would* dare to use it right in front of him, the chief disciple of the Myriad Swords Sect?

Jiang Fan glanced at him, then approached Little White and said, "Open your mouth." *Moo—* Little White quickly opened its mouth. Jiang Fan flicked his finger, and without hesitation, he sent the elixir into its mouth. "No!" Nangong Xiaoyun exclaimed, "Little White, spit it out! Quick, quick, quick!" She then reproached him, "Junior Brother Jiang, how could you give such a precious Rejuvenation Pill to a spirit beast?" While she desperately wanted a pill to save her own spirit beast, the condition was that she would acquire it herself. Not like this, sacrificing Jiang Fan's life-saving trump card! It was obvious that Jiang Fan likely only had this one Rejuvenation Pill. How could he use it to save the life of a spirit beast?

Xia Chaoge also reached out, wanting to stop him. She felt Jiang Fan was being utterly irrational. This was a life-saving item! Even if he had a good relationship with Nangong Xiaoyun, it was absolutely not worth spending on her spirit beast.

Liang Feiyan gasped, "You... you fed it to an animal?" Jiang Fan was utterly mad! That was a divine treasure, an irreplaceable one! One pill alone was enough to buy a spirit beast like Little White!
