Chapter 1133: The Black Goat's Dilemma

After being nurtured for a long time, the pill fragrance began to waft.

Heishanyang appeared again, waiting not far away, its eyes fixed on the alchemy furnace, drool dripping all over the ground.

That sight was truly speechless; Chen Chuyang pretended not to see it, but the corner of his mouth still twitched involuntarily—this Heishanyang was simply too embarrassing, truly speechless.

Such an eyesore Heishanyang, if it went out, let alone being called his pet, Chen Chuyang wouldn't acknowledge such an embarrassing pet.

Heishanyang couldn't care less about all that; it only wanted the pills—as long as it could trick them out of pills, everything else was fake.

"Hum."

The pills condensed successfully; Chen Chuyang opened the alchemy furnace lid, collected this batch of Azure Dragon Grand Year Pills—nine pills in total, neither more nor less, all placed in medicine bottles, and Chen Chuyang took out one pill to examine.

The pills were green, with faint pill patterns on them, not very obvious; compared to the previous batch of Myriad Medicine Dragon Blood Pills, the effect was slightly worse, the patterns less distinct, but fortunately patterns had formed, showing his control over refining Azure Dragon Grand Year Pills was decent; next time, refining will surely be better.

"Not bad, patterns have appeared—although the patterns aren't very clear, they are still there."

"This pattern elevates the quality of the Azure Dragon Grand Year Pill beyond expectation; I don't know how the efficacy will be."

We need someone to test it; this time I can't try the pill myself. Heishanyang happened to be nearby, its embarrassing look left Chen Chuyang speechless; he waved at Heishanyang, which hesitated a moment then approached, standing before Chen Chuyang and grinning: "Kid, are you going to give me a pill to eat?"

"My body is tough; feel free to test the pill on me."

Even a seventh‑grade pill couldn't be that bad; this kid's pill‑refining skill keeps improving, no longer the former him. If it were the old Chen Chuyang, even with a hundred guts he wouldn't dare taste his pills—they always had weird side effects. After the unorthodox path was straightened, Chen Chuyang's pills basically have no problems.

Otherwise, Heishanyang wouldn't come near, nor would it voluntarily ask to test the pill.

"Not bad, this is the newly refined seventh‑grade Azure Dragon Grand Year Pill; its effects are unknown, I need you to test it."

Heishanyang laughed: "No problem, I'll do whatever you ask."

Chen Chuyang smiled: "Come, get closer."

Heishanyang didn't understand; the next moment, a sword qi sliced its body, wounds appeared, bones visible, pain lagging behind; Heishanyang blinked, looking puzzled at Chen Chuyang, its eyes asking why.

Over a dozen wounds appeared on its body, all torn by sword qi, not light—blood flowed out.

Heishanyang looked dazed, not knowing why Xu Junbai would do this; the next moment, a pill entered its mouth and melted quickly.

Those wounds on its body quickly fused, not even sword qi could stop it.

After a few breaths, they were completely healed, as if it had never been injured.

Moreover, a terrifying surge of life force rushed into Heishanyang's body, swelling it to three times its size, like a big fat pig.

Its bulging body was plump and round.

Heishanyang hastily inhaled, employing its secret art to swallow all the life force.

Its body emitted cracking sounds; the injuries were rapidly healing, deep wounds and hidden injuries alike mending.

Especially the injuries it had suffered long ago, which had gone unrepaired for a while, now began to heal rapidly.

The healing speed exceeded its imagination; Heishanyang stared wide‑eyed, letting the life force continue to nourish and repair its body.

The healing lasted half a day; when all the life force dissipated, Heishanyang, still wanting more, said: "Kid, give me another pill—I haven't had my fill."

That feeling was truly exhilarating.

Chen Chuyang spread his hands: "None left."

The Azure Dragon Grand Year Pill's effect far exceeded his expectations; Heishanyang's injuries were mostly healed, even the old ones.

Heishanyang hid it well, but Chen Chuyang still noticed; he reached out and pressed his hand on Heishanyang's head.

Heishanyang wanted to resist but couldn't; it could only submit obediently to Chen Chuyang's examination.

"Not bad, your strength is rising quickly—even stronger than I thought."

"All your internal injuries are healed; from now on, nothing will hinder your cultivation."

"From now on, you can cultivate with peace of mind."

Chen Chuyang released his grip; once freed, Heishanyang will fully unleash its talent.

Heishanyang's talent is not weak; indeed it is strong. Previously, injuries hindered its normal cultivation; it had been merely healing wounds and restoring cultivation, never advancing further.

All this changes from this moment onward.

"Hehe, kid, thank you truly for this pill—your Azure Dragon Grand Year Pill is really good; my injuries have actually all been healed by you."

Heishanyang chuckled: "From now on I can cultivate freely, no longer needing to worry about injury flare‑ups."

Once free of worries, its cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

It's time to let them witness Heishanyang's talent.

Let them know what true heavenly pride beyond the heavens is.

Especially this kid Chen Chuyang—it will definitely make him feel inferior.

"From now on, be honest—don't act smug like before." Chen Chuyang instructed: "In the future, will you stay at Tianwai Longshe Mountain or come back with me?"

Here, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, able to provide for its cultivation.

Returning to Longshe Mountain, there isn't that much spiritual energy for its cultivation, so the speed will be much slower.

Chen Chuyang has no choice; he must go back to transform the spirit veins, reshape Longshe Mountain, and stay there so his wives can rest easy.

Moreover, that world is the same—if he isn't there, he cannot be at ease.

This time he came, he failed to find a spirit vein; next time he comes, he expects to find one.

"Let me think." Heishanyang fell into a dilemma; it surely wanted to stay by Chen Chuyang's side—at least regarding pills, it wouldn't need to worry, and Chen Chuyang never skimped on giving them.

Compared to what it gets in its clan, it would be more and more abundant.

However, its cultivation speed would slow down considerably.

Staying here, the spiritual energy supply increases; no need to worry about heaven‑earth spiritual energy issues, its cultivation speed will rise considerably.

In a short time, it can rapidly improve, gaining self‑defense ability.

With Chen Chuyang not nearby, it lacks a sense of security.

Qinglong Daoren is after all a clone, cannot guarantee its safety; Heishanyang doesn't fully trust Qinglong Daoren's strength.

This is a problem, a big problem.

After agonizing for a long time, Heishanyang lifted its head and asked: "Kid, when will you come to Tianwai next?"

"When will you settle in Tianwai?"

This question is very important; Heishanyang needs to ask it clearly.

It concerns its future; it cannot be ignored.
