Chapter 43 Flirting With Ye Ruoyi
“What kind of pills are these?”
Ye Ruoyi curiously asked as she examined the two golden, fragrant pills in her hand.
“One is a Youth-Retaining Pill, which preserves youth and beauty,” Jiang Che explained.
“The other is a Innate, which allows an ordinary person to skip postnatal cultivation and directly achieve the innate level of a martial artist.”
“These are both for me?” Ye Ruoyi asked incredulously.
Although Jiang Che saw little value in these pills, to Ye Ruoyi, they were invaluable!
The Youth-Retaining Pill was self-explanatory—no woman would disregard her appearance. The chance to maintain eternal youth was irresistible.
As for the Innate, it was equally precious.
Ye Ruoyi had already passed the optimal age for martial arts training, and her body had matured, limiting her potential. This pill could completely transform her!
Even becoming a low-level innate martial artist had been a far-fetched dream for her before.
“Yes, they’re yours,” Jiang Che confirmed.
“But before taking the Innate, it’s best to cultivate an inner energy technique first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to control the rampant energy.”
Ye Ruoyi nodded rapidly, deeply moved.
“Thank you, Brother Jiang!”
“No need. Since you’ve called me Brother Jiang, it’s only natural that I take good care of my younger sister,” Jiang Che said with a meaningful smile.
Hearing this, Ye Ruoyi’s cheeks instantly flushed red.
She clenched her fair hands tightly, lowering her head to hide her embarrassment.
Jiang Che found her reaction amusing—he hadn’t expected Ye Ruoyi to be even more easily flustered than Sikong Qianluo.
If I said the same to Li Hanyi, she would likely have drawn her sword.
And if it were Yin Luoxia, she would probably have just laughed it off.
…
After settling Ye Ruoyi in, Jiang Che left his residence and headed for the City Lord’s mansion.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Upon arriving, he went directly to Sikong Changfeng, who was busy handling city affairs.
Unexpectedly, Bai Li Dongjun and Yin Luoxia were also present.
“Brother Sikong, long time no see!” Jiang Che greeted, flashing his pristine white teeth.
“Hmph!”
Sikong Changfeng snorted coldly and turned away, refusing to acknowledge Jiang Che.
It was clear that Sikong was still holding onto some lingering anger.
Jiang Che remained unfazed. He casually sat in a nearby chair and pulled out a large assortment of pills from his system space, placing them on the table.
After briefly glancing at Bai Li Dongjun and Yin Luoxia, he provided a simple explanation of the items.
The collection included Blood Qi Pill, Barrier-Breaking Pill, Youth-Retaining Pill, Herb Rejuvenation Pill, and more—essentially half of his entire stash.
Since these were all refined from herbs gathered by Li Changsheng, Jiang Che didn’t feel he was losing much by giving half away.
“The Blood Qi Pill can extend a martial artist’s vitality by three years?”
“The Barrier-Breaking Pill allows seamless breakthroughs across two minor realms below the Heavenly Realm?”
“The Herb Rejuvenation Pill can heal severe injuries?”
After hearing Jiang Che’s explanations, Bai Li Dongjun gasped in disbelief.
He had never even heard of pills with such miraculous effects!
Sikong Changfeng, also stunned, turned his gaze toward the pile of pills on the table, equally skeptical.
If these pills were as extraordinary as Jiang Che claimed, then the previous losses of spirit herbs were inconsequential.
Meanwhile, Yin Luoxia’s attention was drawn to the Youth-Retaining Pill.
“Fairy Luoxia, this Youth-Retaining Pill was prepared especially for you,” Jiang Che said with a playful grin, handing the porcelain bottle containing the pill to Yin Luoxia.
“For me?” Yin Luoxia was momentarily stunned.
She had been contemplating how to ask for the single pill she had noticed earlier, but Jiang Che offered it to her without hesitation.
“In that case, thank you, little brother.” Yin Luoxia laughed and accepted the pill with a teasing wink.
“And where’s the Youth-Retaining Pill for me and Senior Brother?” Sikong Changfeng asked with annoyance.
Though he didn’t care about preserving his appearance, Jiang Che’s blatant favoritism irked him.
“You and the City Lord are both grown men. What do you need a Youth-Retaining Pill for?”
“Besides, this pill only preserves current looks; it doesn’t reverse aging.”
Sikong Changfeng glared at Jiang Che but let the matter drop.
“Fairy Luoxia, why don’t you also test the Barrier-Breaking Pill and Blood Qi Pill?” Sikong suggested, handing her the bottles containing the pills.
The Barrier-Breaking Pill was only effective below the Heavenly Realm, making Yin Luoxia the most suitable candidate.
Yin Luoxia did not refuse and swallowed one Blood Qi Pill and one Barrier-Breaking Pill.
Feeling the surge of energy within her, she immediately began cultivating her internal techniques to absorb it.
Under the astonished gazes of Bai Li Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, Yin Luoxia’s aura began to soar rapidly.
