Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

173: Chapter 172 Rest and RecuperationLooking at the medicinal pill in her hand, Cao Ying could not help but reveal a hint of emotion in her eyes.

She truly had not expected that Chen Yang would have actually arranged for someone to wait for her in the Pill World long ago, and had even thoughtfully prepared healing pills.

Cao Ying gently poured the pill from the jade bottle into her hand. She saw that the surface of the white pill was covered in multicolored pill patterns.

Upon seeing such strange pill patterns, Cao Ying was instantly shocked.

She had never seen such a miraculous pill before. To think a Tier 6 pill could actually be refined with pill patterns; such masterful alchemy was something she had never even heard of.

In comparison, her own alchemy skills were like heaven and earth compared to Chen Yang’s; she was far behind.

Feeling the intense pain surging through her body like wave after wave of a tide, it felt as if countless sharp needles were wantonly piercing every inch of her meridians.

Cao Ying’s brows could not help but knit tightly together, and bead-sized sweat rolled down her pale cheeks.

She stared fixedly at the pill in her hand, which emitted a soft glow, and without another moment of hesitation, she tilted her head back and swallowed it.

The moment the pill touched the tip of her tongue, it instantly transformed into an extremely pure and vast medicinal force, flowing through Cao Ying’s meridians like a lively stream.

Wherever this medicinal force reached, Cao Ying clearly felt a gentle yet powerful sense of restoration.

Sensing this vigorous medicinal force within her, Cao Ying immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. Her hands quickly formed complex hand seals as she concentrated fully on guiding the medicinal force, assisting the pill in repairing the riddled injuries within her body with all its might.

The vast medicinal force seemed to have been given life, precisely following the unique pathways of the cultivation technique Cao Ying practiced.

As the medicinal force continuously circulated, those meridians that had been damaged in battle were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, recovering their vitality.

Her blood energy, which had been dim and extremely weak, also gradually became active under the powerful stimulation of the medicinal force, beginning to radiate vigorous vitality.

Gradually, Cao Ying’s face, which had been devoid of color and like a sheet of white paper, flushed with a faint rosiness, once again radiating a charming luster.

Clearly, under the powerful efficacy of this pill, the injuries within her body had basically been effectively repaired.

”Huu...”

After a long while, Cao Ying slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air; that breath seemed to carry the lingering effects of the battle’s exhaustion and pain.

She slowly stood up. Although her posture was still somewhat weak, her eyes had already recovered a few traces of their luster.

She looked at Zi Yan with a grateful smile and said, ”Thank you, little sister. By the way, little sister, I still don’t know what your name is.”

Hearing the words ”little sister” emerge from Cao Ying’s mouth, Zi Yan helplessly supported her forehead, remained silent for a long while, and then spoke speechlessly.

”My name is Zi Yan, and I am not your little sister. Furthermore, in terms of seniority, you must call me big sister from now on. Understand?”

As she spoke, Zi Yan put her hands on her hips, lifted her head slightly, and wore an unquestionable, haughty air on her face as she looked at Cao Ying with eyes full of seriousness.

Looking at Zi Yan’s playful and spirited appearance, Cao Ying nodded compliantly, the corners of her mouth lifting as she chuckled and said.

”Alright, alright, Big Sister Zi Yan, will that do?”

Hearing Cao Ying obediently call her big sister, Zi Yan narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and nodded. She then turned her head to look at Xiong Zhan to the side and said.

”By the way, Big Guy, you must help her carefully prepare all the medicinal ingredients she needs, and then send her out. Once this matter is finished, our mission will be considered successfully completed.”

”When that time comes, we can go out. This place is truly too boring; there are no Big Sister Gu Yuena and Wang Donger here to play with me.”

As Zi Yan spoke, she waved her hand, signaling for Xiong Zhan to hurry up and make arrangements. She had long been unable to wait to leave this place; her heart was full of longing for Chen Yang, and his figure kept appearing in her mind. She wished she could see him immediately.

”By the way, Zi Yan, could you arrange a place for me to have a good wash? Look at me, covered in blood; it would be too unsightly to go out like this.”

Cao Ying looked at the clothes on her body, which were soaked in blood and whose original color could no longer be discerned, and felt entirely uncomfortable.

Therefore, she asked Zi Yan if there was a place to wash up, and by the way, to change into a set of clean clothes.

”Hmm, Big Guy, you take her there.”

Zi Yan did not respond directly to Cao Ying, but instead turned to instruct Xiong Zhan.

”Yes, Young Mistress, rest assured, I will definitely arrange it properly.”

Xiong Zhan raised his hand and forcefully patted his thick, sturdy chest, creating a dull sound as he assured Zi Yan.

”By the way, Zi Yan, I don’t have any clean clothes on me. Do you have any here that I could borrow to change into?”

Cao Ying asked again, her voice carrying a hint of embarrassment.

Speaking of clothes, Zi Yan actually did have some.

Those were several sets of brand-new clothes that Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Yuena had specially selected for her.

At that time, they thought that Zi Yan would grow up sooner or later, and if she didn’t have suitable clothes to wear then, she would certainly be very embarrassed.

Therefore, in Zi Yan’s storage ring, there were several sets of clothes prepared that were suitable for an adult to wear.

These clothes were all carefully crafted from top-quality materials. Each piece was a dress with an exquisitely beautiful style, and even the matching undergarments were paired just right.

”Here, take these clothes.”

Zi Yan took a brightly colored purple dress and matching undergarments from her storage ring and handed them to Cao Ying.

Cao Ying took them with both hands. The moment her fingertips touched the clothing, she keenly sensed the extraordinary material of the garment.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually woven from Heavenly Silkworm silk spun by an Eighth Rank Magical Beast.

This material was extremely rare and precious. Even in the bustling and treasure-filled Holy Pill City, clothes made from this material were jaw-droppingly expensive.

With Cao Ying’s wealth, although she could afford it, she would not consume such luxury items and could only shy away from them in daily life.

After all, there was really no one willing to spend an exorbitant price equivalent to a Tier 6 pill to purchase a piece of clothing; that was simply too extravagant and wasteful.

No matter what, Cao Ying could not have imagined that Zi Yan would possess such expensive clothing, and judging by the style and the brand-new condition of the clothes, they had clearly never been worn.

”Thank you, Zi Yan.”

Cao Ying held the clothes in both hands, her eyes full of gratitude as she sincerely thanked Zi Yan.

Xiong Zhan, who was to the side, saw that Cao Ying had no other questions, so he spoke, ”Miss Cao Ying, please come with me.”

After speaking, Xiong Zhan led the way, taking Cao Ying toward the other side of the palace.

As for Zi Yan, she returned to that magnificent throne and lay down, stretching her petite body and enjoying this rare, peaceful time.
