Chapter 127

You've come; from your footsteps I can tell you're in good shape.

Just like last time, as soon as Xing stepped outside Ruomu Pavilion, Dan Shu spotted her as always.

"How did you hear that?" Although it wasn't the first time I'd seen it, this Chief Elixir Master's hearing is simply too extraordinary.

"It's nothing important." Dan Shu maintained her usual gentleness and smile, "Let's talk about the matter at hand... I've studied the prescription you obtained, and I have some preliminary conclusions. Please help me deliver it to the Divine Strategy Manor."

Xing: "What conclusions do you have?"

"Well... based on the results, I don't believe Dragon Coiled Tiger Leaping has an antidote. Even in the foreseeable future, there won't be any antidote. I've compiled the more detailed content into a document; if you're interested, you can take a look."

She then handed Xing the compiled "Treatise on the Pharmacology of Dragon Coiled Tiger Leaping".

Xing examined the report carefully and realized the core of this pharmacology was to use the power of the Dragon Ancestor of the Light-Holding Clan to artificially provoke a Demonic Yin Body in enemies.

It seems that for those who inherit the Elixir King's Secret Transmission, possessing a rational Demonic Yin Body is their ultimate state. Kaisa chuckled lightly, "Speaking of which, this is somewhat similar to the 'Burst Blood' technique."

Burst Blood is a technique restored by members of the First Generation Lionheart Society, aimed at weakening human genes while maintaining rationality, allowing the dragon-type genes within the body to become active.

Activating Burst Blood drives one toward dragon-like traits; if one loses control and exceeds the blood limit, a person will lose consciousness and become a Death Guard.

If one compares a Death Guard to a Demonic Yin Body, then Dragon Coiled Tiger Leaping is a drug that can perfectly master the power of a Death Guard while retaining rationality.

Not to mention placing it on the Immortal Vessel—even putting it among today's Dragon Slayers' ranks, this is an extremely tempting drug.

From this perspective, Kaisa can understand why the Elixir King's Secret Transmission has endured for a thousand years on the Immortal Vessel without fading.

"If humans had this kind of medicine, the headmaster would surely ban it immediately."

Chu Zihang said expressionlessly, "Then secretly keep a portion for yourself, and when you confront the Pure-blood Dragon Clan, without hesitation inject it into your own bloodstream. If becoming a monster lets you slay dragons, he wouldn't hesitate to make himself even more ferocious."

"That really is the headmaster's style."

Kaisa briefly imagined: a figure seated in a black Maserati, wearing a black tailored suit, shiny Italian leather shoes, and a vivid red rose pinned to the chest—a Death Guard. Though the image is a bit grim, it still somewhat fits the headmaster's aura.

Xing forwarded the pharmacology report to Qingzuo, then asked Dan Shu whether she was aware of the current situation inside Dan Ding Si.

Dan Shu said she had been stationed outside for many days, and had temporarily taken on the task of researching prescriptions for the Divine Strategy Manor, which delayed her, so she knows nothing about the current state of Dan Ding Si.

Just as they were about to part ways, Dan Shu suddenly said, "Xing, I have one more thing—could you help me with it?"

Dan Shu's departure from Dan Ding Si this time is to provide medical care and deliver medicine to the Immortal Vessel's compatriots; the medicine has already been prepared, and she originally intended for a colleague to handle the delivery, but now everyone needs medics, so she wants to ask Xing to make the trip.

Of course, she wouldn't let Xing help for nothing; she'll prepare a gift, and by the time Xing finishes, the gift will be ready as well.

"Okay." Xing replied, then set off with the medicine to the location Dan Shu had instructed her to go to.

Then she saw a little girl trapped on the edge of a flowerbed fence; the fence wasn't high, and several brats around were shouting threats at her.

Xing keenly noticed that the little girl was also blind.

Is this the child Dan Shu asked her to find? Did she come here to give medical care and deliver medicine to another blind child?

These brats were incredibly arrogant; Xing just stood far away, yet they came up to provoke him, only to find they couldn't hurt him and instead were injured by the recoil.

Each one refused to admit defeat, stubbornly insisting that Xing had secretly used inner strength to scheme against them. In the end, Xing hadn't done anything, and they all started cursing and fleeing, their defenses broken.

Valkyrie Academy

Seeing this scene, Bronya was utterly furious.

"This situation calls for giving them a good beating; I've seen plenty of kids like this—chattering away—and a single beating would do the trick."

Back when I was in the orphanage, there were also some older kids who wanted to bully Xier; faced with this situation and having no other means, the only way to completely eradicate the problem was to make those kids feel pain.

As long as you're ruthless enough, letting those kids know that bullying you comes at a cost, they'll naturally drift away like deflated balloons.

"But what if the kids' parents show up saying, 'The child is still young'..." Xier whispered a reminder.

Bronya raised her voice eight degrees: "Isn't that just perfect? The kids are still young, and Xing is also very young—he's not even a year old since birth! Kids roughhouse with each other, and if they misjudge their strength, breaking a few dozen bones is perfectly reasonable, right?"

"Several dozen bones..."

"Xier, as Immortal Vessel inhabitants, being a long-lived species, durability is genuine—they might recover in just a couple of months." Bronya snorted, "Anyway, if I were Xing, I'd just smack them with a stick first and talk later."

Xing lifted the little girl down from the flowerbed fence, and she gratefully said, "Big sister, thank you for helping me..."

"Are you okay?" Xing gently brushed off the dust on her body; rather than being abstract, Xing was actually quite gentle.

"I'm fine." The little girl shook her head slightly, a hint of dejection flashing in her eyes, "It's my fault—I shouldn't have been running around, and I ended up bumping into those guys. They always mock me for not being able to see, love tripping me up and stealing my things."

"Dan Shu asked me to deliver medicine to you." Seeing how sensible she was, Xing ruffled her head.

"Ah, is it Dan Shu who sent you?" The little girl suddenly brightened up.

"I've heard there's been a lot of trouble lately; she must be busy. Thank you, big sister, and please also thank Dan Shu on my behalf."

The little girl took the medicine and, under Xing's gaze, stumbled back along the original path.

"Is she an angel?! She's so kind..." Denji bit the spoon in his mouth and glared hard at Pawa beside him, "Hey, could it be that you, Pawa, are just a nasty demon, which is why you see everyone as bad? Dan Shu is clearly an angel!"

"Denji, are you an idiot!? How dare you doubt my vision!"

Pawa angrily smashed the cupcake in front of her onto Denji's face with a slap: "My intuition is never wrong! That Dan Shu definitely has a problem!"

Denji's tongue flicked around his mouth, trying to lick the cake off his face: "Want to make a bet? If Dan Shu isn't a bad person, you can't eat meat for the next month!"

"Deal! If I win, you have to feed me all the meat for the next year!"

"Sure!"

Great!

Dian Ci rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists, but then suddenly realized: "Uh… wait! Why is mine one year?! Pa Wa, you bastard!"
