The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 900: Immediate Effect!

Immediate Effect! . . .

At that moment, an unspoken conversation transpired between Shangguan Zhuifeng and Cha Eun Xiao through a mental connection. Shangguan Zhuifeng's query had an air of curiosity and suspicion as he inquired, "Brother, if I may ask, are you related to Xiao Monarch and Prime Master Jun..." The mention of the name Cha Jun had prompted immediate associations with Cha Eun Xiao and Jun Yinglian, figures of great power in the Qing-Yun Realm.

While Shangguan Zhuifeng had not personally met these two influential figures, he was acutely aware of their close ties to his brother, Li Wuliang.

Cha Eun Xiao appeared pensive, and he responded with a degree of restraint. "They are acquaintances."

Shangguan Zhuifeng, after considering Cha Eun Xiao's response, nodded in understanding.

[So, Brother Cha Jun is linked to Xiao Monarch and Prime Master Jun...]

Putting aside further discussion, Cha Eun Xiao swiftly issued a series of orders. Shangguan Zhuifeng offered his immediate and unreserved compliance, leaving the others in the room visibly astonished.

The medical materials Cha Eun Xiao had requested were standard, and gathering them posed no great challenge. Those tasked with this mission breathed a collective sigh of relief, for the materials could be collected without undue effort.

The additional tasks Cha Eun Xiao had laid out appeared relatively straightforward, and the recipients, reassured by their nature, were more than willing to carry them out.

With everything neatly arranged, Cha Eun Xiao retrieved a jade bottle from the folds of his attire and extracted a dan bead. Without hesitation, he placed the bead in Shangguan Tie's mouth.

Although the observers were unfamiliar with the bead's nature, a refreshing and invigorating aroma wafted from it, infusing the room with a sense of revitalization. Those who had recently channeled their spiritual qi into the young lord's body experienced an immediate boost in energy, and the flow of energy within them became noticeably smoother. Their Jing and Mai, previously strained from the extended energy transfer, were rejuvenated.

The observers, unable to discern the bead's properties, eagerly anticipated what it might do.

After a brief observation, Cha Eun Xiao scrutinized Shangguan Tie's countenance and concluded, "He is stable for now. You may begin to withdraw your energy, but do so gradually. Sudden withdrawal could disrupt the balance of energy within his body."

The six individuals who had been sustaining Shangguan Tie with their energy were initially hesitant. With the young lord on the brink of death, their energy was his sole lifeline. Their quick withdrawal could result in immediate fatality.

However, Shangguan Zhuifeng's resolute order dispelled their doubts. "Follow Brother Cha's instructions!"

The six cultivators commenced the gradual withdrawal of their energy. To their amazement, they sensed signs of life returning to Shangguan Tie. Although he remained unconscious, the energy within his dantian began to circulate slowly, no longer stagnant. This was an auspicious development, for as long as the energy could circulate unaided, Shangguan Tie's life could be preserved.

The observers gazed at Cha Eun Xiao with a newfound reverence, impressed by the miraculous properties of the dan bead.

Cha Eun Xiao, somewhat uncomfortable with the adoration, couldn't help but think that these people needed to broaden their horizons.

[It's just a Resurrection Dan bead at the Dan Mist level, not even a supreme dan. Why are they so astonished?]

[Perhaps they should venture out and learn more. They seem somewhat sheltered!]

[Moreover, he hasn't awakened yet. We still don't know if he'll be fully cured.]

[Why is everyone getting so worked up?]

In fact, Cha Eun Xiao pondered that he ought to learn more about these individuals. Over the past year, the entire Black Cavalry Alliance had labored tirelessly and brainstormed endlessly in their efforts to heal their lord, resulting only in failure and disappointment. They had not even found a temporary remedy. This experience had pushed them to the brink of despair.

The outlook of the Black Cavalry Alliance had shifted drastically. Initially, they had exhibited a nonchalant attitude towards Guan Lingxiao's plight, nearly giving up on any hope of improvement, convinced that their situation couldn't deteriorate further. Cha Eun Xiao, however, had effortlessly achieved remarkable results with just one dan bead. The prescription he had provided became the most cherished asset within the Black Cavalry Alliance.

Observing the incredible transformation, Shangguan Zhuifeng wasted no time in deploying the three senior elders to gather the necessary materials as indicated by Cha Eun Xiao's prescription.

Once the materials were accounted for, Shangguan Zhuifeng ushered everyone out of the room. He seized the opportunity to convey a different message to his senior members. "You've all been toiling relentlessly of late. It's high time you took some well-deserved rest. I have matters to discuss with Brother Ye. From the moment we met, it felt as though we were old friends. Oh, and as for Guan Lingxiao, let us remember that he was attempting to assist us in his own way. He didn't willingly lead Brother Ye to us, but his inadvertent contribution is undeniable. We must reward him handsomely. Attend to this without delay."

The elders of the Black Cavalry Alliance were taken aback by this abrupt change of tone.

[Indeed, we have been working tirelessly and could use some rest, but that can't be the only reason for ushering us out. It seems more like you simply want us gone...]

[This young man, Ye Jun, is indeed a master of healing. The dan bead he employed has thoroughly impressed us. We understand the need for showing gratitude or even some flattery. But why resort to lines like "old friends at first sight"... It's a rather flimsy pretext!]

[As for Guan Lingxiao... Really? He didn't lead Ye Jun to us; he was pushed into this by us. He had nothing to do with it. He wasn't the one who sought out Ye Jun for us...]

[In fact, you ordered us to apprehend Guan Lingxiao and administer harsh punishment!]

[The echoes of your previous command still ring in our ears... Now it has transformed into a reward...]

[Guan Lingxiao must be one fortunate individual... However, that seems to be the extent of his good fortune...]ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N(o)vel(F)ire
