Chapter 319: Sister‑Obsessed Chu Tianshu, Chu Yao Brings the Elixir

Chu Yao dragged the middle‑aged man out of the Apothecary Academy and headed toward the Library.

The middle‑aged man shook his head helplessly.

He had no temper at all—after all, Chu Yao is his most beloved little sister...

This middle‑aged man, known as Chu Tianshu, is the Apothecary Academy's second pharmacist, a highly respected genius pharmacist who has already reached Level 75, a high‑tier realm.

Though he isn't young, when it comes to his sister Chu Yao, he is completely helpless.

Along the way, many people greeted him; former students who know him and teachers at the university all couldn't help but say hello.

Chu Yao's brother Chu Tianshu has always been the pride of the Apothecary Academy, doting on his sister without limit.

Chu Tianshu is curious about Jiang Chen, a student who has taken many of his Fatigue Elixirs before.

The elixirs he once formulated were taken by the army as military supplies and are not sold to the public.

Chu Yao led Chu Tianshu to the outside of the Library, and through the clear glass she saw Jiang Chen earnestly reading a book.

However, when Chu Tianshu saw Jiang Chen, his brows knit together.

"This person has a heavy killing aura," Chu Tianshu said in a low voice.

Chu Yao, a bit puzzled, asked, "Is it because he's done too many Instances?"

Chu Tianshu chuckled, "Silly little sister, have you ever seen someone who does too many runs still emit a killing aura?"

Chu Yao nodded; indeed she hadn't seen that.

Chu Tianshu's gaze darkened slightly, "He must have killed many demons and Dragon Race members. He's only Level 39, yet he carries such an aura. If he can't control his killing aura, it won't be good for his future development."

Chu Yao asked worriedly, "Brother, do you have a way?" Chu Tianshu patted her head and said, "Controlling the killing aura mainly still relies on

oneself; external aid is of limited help. I have some Calming Pills here that might be useful; take them to him. But this only alleviates, it doesn't cure the root."

Saying that, Chu Tianshu took out a box containing twenty neatly arranged elixirs.

Chu Yao said happily, "Thanks, brother." Chu Tianshu patted her head, "Alright, I'll be going now, won't disturb your two‑person world."

Chu Yao, blushing, said, "Brother, what nonsense are you spouting? He's just my friend."

Chu Tianshu laughed, "Right, right, a friend—got it."

After speaking, his figure vanished as he teleported back to the Apothecary Academy.

Chu Yao stamped her foot, cradling the elixirs as she entered the Library.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw the beautiful, graceful Chu Yao.

"Senior, is there something?" Jiang Chen's condition was a little better than before, albeit only a little.

Li Xueru was right; merely reading a book no longer has much effect.

In Jiang Chen's mind, scenes of city‑wide slaughter in the Abyss would intermittently appear.

He felt an urge to destroy the Abyss, to exterminate the demons.

The murderous intent seemed to be eroding his reason, affecting his thoughts.

Chu Yao sat opposite Jiang Chen, pushed the box of elixirs across, and said, "These are calming elixirs; give them a try."

Jiang Chen took out a bottle; inside the clear vial was a pale‑blue elixir.

It looked like the blue of the sea, and Jiang Chen even faintly heard the sound of waves.

A gentle breeze brushed his fingertips.

"Calming Pill: settles the mind, suppresses distracting thoughts, helps practitioners enter the Meditation State faster, and can be used when affected by hallucinations, possessing the ability to dispel them."

It's a pretty good thing.

Hit

Open a bottle of elixir and drink it.

The elixir took effect quickly, a wave of icy coolness spreading through his whole body.

Just as before, Jiang Chen felt as if he were by the sea, hearing waves crashing onto the shore.

One after another, rhythmic, his spirit instantly calmed.

Chu Yao's eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Chen, not blinking.

She saw the cold in Jiang Chen's eyes gradually fade, the former gentleness reappearing.

Only then did she sigh in relief, "Great, the elixir worked."

Jiang Chen's thoughts became clear now; the violent notions grew fainter, though they hadn't vanished completely and still surfaced occasionally.

But they no longer affected his thinking.

"Thank you!" Jiang Chen said sincerely; the elixir was marvelous.

Chu Yao smiled, squinting, "No need to thank me; as long as I can help. My brother said the killing aura ultimately must be controlled by oneself; external aid is limited, and the Calming Pill can only provide relief."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Hmm, I understand."

Chu Yao's pupils shifted, "Can you tell me exactly what happened? Speaking it out might help a bit."

"Alright."

Jiang Chen put the book back.

Reading was already useless; there was no need to read any more.

The Library was extremely quiet, not a place for conversation.

The two walked inside the university, and Jiang Chen recounted what had happened to him in the Abyss World.

Chu Yao listened, her eyes gradually widening…

Her little mouth slightly opened and never closed again.

A shocked expression, with a hint of cuteness.

Jiang Chen simply finished telling the story, without replaying the details in his mind.

He must not think about it, lest the murderous intent surge again.

With the Calming Pill

its aid, he realized that he indeed had a serious problem.

It was essentially a hurdle; if it cannot be passed smoothly, the future will be troublesome.

Forceful suppression is useless; it must be digested and absorbed, so it no longer influences his thoughts even slightly.

The key is how to digest and absorb it.

Jiang Chen had no clue.

This time, Jiang Chen spoke more than ever.

In fact, it offered no substantive help for the problem he now faced.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen felt some gratitude toward Chu Yao.

At least the Calming Pill is not a simple potion.

Like the previous Fatigue Elixir, it is a very rare item.

"Here you go."

Jiang Chen took out an Earth Crystal and a Light Crystal and handed them to Chu Yao.

Chu Yao accepted them without hesitation, smiling, "I actually made a profit."

Jiang Chen gave a faint smile and fell silent.

That's enough for now.

After saying goodbye to Chu Yao, Jiang Chen turned and entered the Skill Training Hall.

He is already level 39 and can command 19 Undead Legions.

Summoning them requires a great amount of time.

Inside the Skill Training Hall, Jiang Chen repeatedly summoned Skeletons, then meditated to restore his Spirit, continued summoning, in an endless cycle.

With the Calming Pill's aid, Jiang Chen could meditate normally and train normally.

But when the Calming Pill's effect waned, Jiang Chen found he could no longer meditate.

As soon as he tried to meditate, a flood of bloody memories rushed into his mind, preventing his thoughts from settling.

Reluctantly, he could only continue taking the Calming Pill.

Each bottle of Calming Pill lasts only twelve hours.

Chu Yao was right; this is merely a superficial remedy.

While Jiang Chen was training his skills, he also

pondered solutions, but seemed to have no good answer.

Two days later, the Undead Legion was fully replenished.

Nineteen Undead Legions, 7,410 Skeletons.

This is already his limit before the Second Transcendence.

Jiang Chen looked forward to the upcoming Second Transcendence.

Profession Ascension, attempting to awaken new talents.

Skill evolution and mutation, eventually becoming what?

Everything is unknown, which is exciting.

Leaving the Training Hall, he once again saw the Light.

It is now winter, and snowflakes drifted outside the Training Hall.

They fell in scattered sheets, landing on his face, bringing a hint of chill.

"It's snowing," Jiang Chen thought, seeing the earth covered in silver attire, clean and pure.

It seemed all the filth had vanished.

The beautiful scene suddenly reminded him of the Demon.

"If all Demons were dead, would the world become cleaner..."

That thought sparked a surge of murderous aura that boiled up.

Jiang Chen instantly sensed something wrong, quickly took another bottle of Calming Pill and drank it.

Moments later, the murderous aura gradually subsided.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath; the situation was somewhat troublesome.

The Communicator beeped.

"Come here."

It was a message from Hong Jishi; Jiang Chen did not hesitate and teleported there directly.
