Chapter 443: A Bargain for Wang Jianqiang

Just as Linglong's thoughts were flickering.

The sound of a door opening suddenly came.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of the room and handed her the two Jade Bottles he was holding, "City Lord, the Pills in these two Jade Bottles have the effects of repairing meridians and mending foundations, respectively."

"You may take them together."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Linglong shook her head, "With my current physical condition, I can no longer take Pills."

"Many thanks for your kind intentions, Daoist Friend; it seems you cannot cure my injuries."

Saying this, she shook her head.

She rose, preparing to leave.

Wang Jianqiang had long anticipated Linglong's reaction; the moment she rose, he reached out and grabbed her soft, boneless palm.

"City Lord, the Pills I, Wang, refined are somewhat different; perhaps you should take a closer look."

Having her palm suddenly grabbed by Wang Jianqiang, Linglong's brows had already tightly furrowed.

However, Wang Jianqiang's next words shifted her attention.

She inconspicuously pulled back her palm and turned to look at Wang Jianqiang.

She reached out and took both Jade Bottles.

She poured out the Pills from the Jade Bottles.

Upon seeing the two Pills in her hand, her expression froze.

Yellow Jade Origin Pill and Five-Element Pulse Restoration Pill?

Both of these Pills are Fourth-tier Advanced.

This person is actually a Fourth-tier High-grade Alchemist!

A flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

Her heart became a bit more solemn.

She looked carefully at the Pills in her hand.

A moment later.

Her eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but look at Wang Jianqiang, "These two Pills actually have no Pill Poison; you are actually able to refine Perfect Pills!"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "City Lord, now... do you think I can cure you?"

Hearing this, Linglong immediately came back to her senses.

Looking at Wang Jianqiang, a deep sense of apology appeared on her face, "Apologies, Daoist Friend; Linglong apologizes for her previous rashness."

Wang Jianqiang felt a sense of satisfaction, but his face remained humble, "City Lord is too polite; next, you shall heal your injuries here."

Linglong nodded.

She looked again at the two Pills in her hand.

Her eyes brimmed with joy that was hard to conceal.

Originally, after seeing Wang Jianqiang enter the room to perform Alchemy, she had already lost hope.

But she hadn't expected.

The result would be a turn for the better.

With the help of these Perfect Pills, her injuries would certainly be able to heal.

After coming back to her senses.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "My body is currently on the verge of collapse, and it is difficult to mobilize Spiritual Power, so I cannot gather the medicinal strength."

"When I refine the medicinal strength in a moment, I will have to trouble you, Daoist Friend, to help me gather the medicinal strength to prevent it from dissipating."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "City Lord, feel free to refine."

"Many thanks."

Linglong gave Wang Jianqiang a grateful look and swallowed the two Pills in her hand together.

Facts proved that Linglong's worries were correct.

The medicinal efficacy of Perfect Pills far exceeds that of ordinary Pills.

The moment the two Pills entered her mouth.

A gentle yet extremely thick medicinal strength instantly spread to her limbs and hundreds of meridians.

If it were normal times.

She could naturally easily gather the medicinal strength within her body to refine it slowly.

But now her foundation was near collapse, and even her Spiritual Power was difficult to gather; she simply could not stop the loss of medicinal strength.

A large amount of medicinal strength seeped toward the outside of her body, about to dissipate.

Sensing this situation,

Wang Jianqiang's finger decisively pressed onto her Tianchi Point.

The medicinal strength that was about to dissipate seemed to be guided, instantly gathering and condensing within her chest cavity.

Linglong's figure trembled, and a flush appeared on her snow-white face.

"Calm your mind and refine the medicinal strength."

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang said in a low voice.

Linglong felt a jolt in her heart and immediately calmed her mind, refining the medicinal strength within her body with all her might.

Three hours later.

Linglong slowly opened her eyes, looked at the position of her chest, and said with a blushing face, "Daoist Friend, it is done."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang withdrew his palm calmly and looked at Linglong with concern, "How does the City Lord feel?"

Hearing this, a flash of joy appeared on Linglong's face, "Much better; in my current state, even without follow-up treatment, there will be no danger to my life for at least half a year."

Hearing Linglong's words, Wang Jianqiang nodded, "As long as there is no danger to your life, I will continue to refine Pill for you until you have completely recovered."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Linglong shook her head with a bitter smile.

"The most urgent matter now is not whether I can recover, but whether we can protect Wenxian City."

"Once Wenxian City is breached, not only will everyone in the city die."

"Our world will also face an invasion by the cultivators from Outside the Realm."

"Although the three Ninth-rank Will Cultivators from Outside the Realm were severely injured by my self-detonation of my Natal Dharma Treasure, given the means of the cultivators from Outside the Realm, they can recover in at most one month."

"Once they return to the battlefield before I recover, the Wenxian City defense line will surely collapse."

"What is even more fatal is..."

"Judging from the current battle situation, Wenxian City might not even last until the three Ninth-rank Will Cultivators from Outside the Realm return to the battlefield."

"In ten days at most, the defense line will be broken!"

Wang Jianqiang had seen the battle situation outside the city with his own eyes, and upon hearing Linglong's description of the situation, he did not show the slightest hint of surprise.

What surprised him was that Linglong's purple Jade Pendant was actually her Natal Dharma Treasure!

No wonder that purple Jade Pendant was so immensely powerful.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Can it hold for ten days at most? Judging by your injuries, City Lord, it is indeed already too late."

"Therefore, what we must do now is help the defense line outside the city hold back the demonic beasts and the cultivators from Outside the Realm; at the very least, it must not collapse before those three Ninth-Order Will Stage cultivators from Outside the Realm return."

"You don't understand."

Linglong shook her head, "The intention of the cultivators from Outside the Realm to launch a large-scale attack was not concealed in the slightest; I had already scouted the news long before the great war."

"All the preparations that could be made have been completed; we have no more backup plans."

"Otherwise, how could I have just watched the battle situation fall into such a state?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled calmly, "Wang has heard that the City Protection Array of Wenxian City is only a broken Array; if it were completed, could it block the cultivators from Outside the Realm?"

Linglong was startled, "If the City Protection Array were intact, it could naturally resist them, but the creator of this Array was a person of brilliant talent; although this Array is Fourth-tier, in terms of complexity, it has already reached the Sixth-tier level."

"Ordinary Array Master cannot even see through it, so repairing it is simply impossible."

Wang Jianqiang smiled lightly, "What if Wang says that I can repair it?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Linglong was stunned.

She could not help but ask in surprise, "You are also a Sixth-tier Array Master?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "I studied it for a period of time in the past and understand a little."

Upon hearing this, Linglong could not help but be dumbfounded.

He had actually cultivated both the Pill path and the Array Path, two auxiliary paths that are extremely energy-consuming!

And one had reached the Fourth-tier Advanced level, while the other had even reached the Sixth-tier!

How did he cultivate?

If this were to spread, the shock would be even greater than the birth of a new Ninth-rank Will Cultivator!

"Are you sure? You aren't joking?"

Linglong suppressed the excitement in her heart and said with a solemn expression.

"Of course."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Seeing this, the joy in Linglong's heart could no longer be suppressed, and an unhidden excitement appeared on her face, "Let's go to the Array Department now."

After speaking, she pulled Wang Jianqiang and walked out of the residence.

Outside Wang Jianqiang's residence.

Wu Tan had not left.

After Wang Jianqiang and Linglong entered the residence, he also reacted.

How could a peerless figure like the City Lord possibly take a fancy to Wang Jianqiang?

Although Wang Jianqiang is a Dahuang Immortal Palace Student, his status is not low.

But there are plenty of students in the Dahuang Academy.

Yet, in several hundred years, only the City Lord has emerged as a Ninth-rank Will Cultivator.

The two's identities simply do not match.

How could the City Lord possibly take a fancy to Wang Jianqiang?

The reason the City Lord came here must have another cause.

Driven by a desire for discovery and gossip, he had been waiting outside the door for several hours.

Suddenly.

The sound of a door opening came, attracting his attention.

The next moment.

The City Lord's beautiful figure appeared in his field of vision.

Immediately following.

Wang Jianqiang also appeared.

What made him find it somewhat unbelievable was.

The City Lord's palm was not avoiding anything at all, tightly...

Actively pulling Wang Jianqiang!

The two seemed to have some urgent matter.

After walking out of the residence, they flew straight into the sky.

And quickly went far away.

Seeing the "intimate" appearance of the two of them together.

The suspicion in Wutan's heart shattered instantly.

City Lord...

To think it really went to that brat Wang Jianqiang for nothing!
