Pill God Returns

"Holy Maiden, don't you not believe me. Let me tell you. If you want to cultivate fast and improve your cultivation quickly, you have to go out and explore."    

    

Yu Jiaorong nodded. She also understood this principle. Any power, when young people reach a certain level of strength... When they were able to protect themselves, they would encourage them to walk out. Go out. To adventure and gain experience, it could only be done at certain specific times. Only then would he be able to return.    

    

"I understand what you're saying, but I can't leave."    

    

"I can't leave. What is the reason for this?" Wu Chen was puzzled and asked.    

    

Yu Jiaorong was silent for a while before she said, "Do you remember what I told you when I was in Heavenly Jewel City? My mother was sick and would attack from time to time. As a daughter, how can I leave?"    

    

Wu Chen was stunned. He heard Yu Jiaorong say that it really was like that. On the afternoon after the Alchemist Competition ended, Yu Jiaorong came to find him and said that she wanted him to go to Mermaid Clan to treat her mother.    

    

"Holy Maiden, can you tell me what illness the patriarch had?"    

    

Yu Jiaorong looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then she said, "My mother's illness is actually similar to your condition."    

    

"Similar to my illness?"    

    

Wu Chen was even more puzzled. Could it be that the other party also swallowed some unknown medicinal pill to cause problems?    

    

Yu Jiaorong said, "Ten years ago, my mother used a forbidden technique. Her strength rose dramatically in a short period of time, from Dragon Transforming Stage to Legendary Stage. That's why there was a problem."    

    

"Forbidden technique?"    

    

Wu Chen finally understood. His Yun Huan Dan was a kind of Forbidden Pill. Strictly speaking, it was also a kind of forbidden technique. The existence of a forbidden technique was to allow one's cultivation base to improve tremendously in a short period of time.    

    

However, since it was called a forbidden technique, one must pay a certain price to obtain strength. For example, the Yun Huan Dan that he took had squeezed out a lot of his lifespan in exchange for a powerful strength.    

    

"After that time, the influence of the forbidden technique has been lingering on my mother. Her mother would act up from time to time. It was extremely painful. As my daughter, I felt a great deal of pain when I saw her. "    

    

At this point, Yu Jiaorong's expression became incomparably sorrowful. A hazy mist also appeared in her eyes, making people feel pity for her.    

    

Wu Chen said, "Holy Maiden, don't worry. As long as I am here, I will definitely be able to cure the patriarch's illness."    

    

His life was saved by Yu Jiaorong and Grand Elder, and he had stayed in Mermaid Clan for such a long time. He was worried about how to repay them, but now that he had the opportunity to repay them, how could he not do it?    

    

Besides, saving lives and healing injuries was the responsibility of medical practitioners and alchemists like them. Buddha said, saving a life was better than building a seven-storied pagoda.    

    

"Is what you said true?"    

    

Yu Jiaorong widened her eyes. Her mother's illness was something that even Grand Elder could not do anything about. She had also invited many other alchemists to take a look, but none of them had any effect. Therefore, she was basically in despair right now.    

    

"Yes."    

    

Wu Chen nodded. To him, no matter what kind of illness or problem the other party had, as long as he attacked, there would be no problem.    

    

"Great. Thank you, Wu Chen."    

    

Yu Jiaorong cried with joy. All these years, she had been worrying about her mother's illness and didn't know what to do. Now that she finally saw hope, how could she not be happy?    

    

"Can you tell me why the patriarch used the forbidden technique?"    

    

The forbidden technique had a terrifying power. Once it was used, it would cause serious damage to the body. This was something that everyone knew. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it would not be used.    

    

"This?"    

    

Yu Jiaorong hesitated and fell into deep thought.    

    

"What? Can't you say it?"    

    

Yu Jiaorong thought for a while and shook her head, "Actually, it's not that I can't say it. There is a grudge between us, the Mermaid Clan, and that is the Merfolk."    

    

"A grudge? The Merfolk?"    

    

Wu Chen had heard of the Merfolk before. It was one of the major clans in the Eastern Sea, and it was also one of the more powerful clans.    

    

"Yes, it's the Merfolk. The people of the Merfolk have been eyeing our Mermaid Clan like a tiger watching its prey. They have always wanted to destroy our Mermaid Clan, and have always launched attacks on us. Especially that time ten years ago, the Merfolk came with a menacing aura, and their imposing manner soared to the sky. Our Mermaid Clan fought with our lives on the line, and almost all of us were sent out, but none of us were able to stop them. My mother couldn't do anything about it as the calamity of extinction is about to descend upon us. That was why she used a secret technique, a forbidden technique that greatly increased her strength. Finally, she managed to repel the attack of the Merfolk and won the battle."    

    

Wu Chen didn't say anything. Yu Jiaorong's mother's condition was similar to his. How similar was it? He had also encountered a Dragon Transforming Stage warrior's Sirius Shark. He really could not win. This was the reason why he swallowed the Yun Huan Dan. He had to pay the price of a large amount of his lifespan. In exchange for a powerful strength.    

    

In this world, no one would use any secret technique or forbidden technique for no reason. Once it was used, one's life would be severely threatened. There was really nothing that could be done about it, and that was why he had used the forbidden technique.    

    

Yu Jiaorong said, "Wu Chen, I wonder if you can promise me one thing?"    

    

"What is it?"    

    

Yu Jiaorong said, "Don't tell anyone about my mother's illness. Otherwise, if the people of Merfolk or other races know about it, our Mermaid Clan will be in trouble."    

    

Wu Chen said, "You can rest assured about this. I will never tell anyone."    

    

Since Yu Jiaorong was willing to tell him the secret, it meant that she trusted him. How could he tell anyone about it? Would it be ungrateful if he did not know about it?    

    

"That's good."    

    

They had kept it a secret for ten years. They didn't want anyone to know about the Mermaid Clan. Otherwise, the Mermaid Clan would be wiped out.    

    

"Holy Maiden, it's not good. Holy Maiden, it's not good."    

    

At this moment, a panicked voice was heard. The two of them immediately turned around and looked up. They saw Xiaolan running in in a panic.    

    

"Xiaolan, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"    

    

Xiaolan hurriedly ran over, took a deep breath and said, "Holy Maiden, Merfolk, Merfolk is here to attack."    

    

"What?"    

    

Yu Jiaorong's facial expression changed dramatically. She had never thought that the Merfolk would attack them the moment she talked about the Merfolk with Wu Chen.    

    

"Bring me there to take a look."    

    

Without saying another word, Yu Jiaorong immediately rushed out. The Merfolk and the Mermaid Clan had been enemies for a long time. It was a matter of life and death. It was an absolute matter for them to attack the Mermaid Clan. They couldn't afford to delay any longer.    

    

"Did something happen?"    

    

Wu Chen frowned. There were so many fights in this world, and blood was flowing out every day. He was truly speechless.    

    

He did not stop and also followed Yu Jiaorong and the others to see what was going on.
