Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1293 To be determined

"Hey!"

The more Lao Liu thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help but yell at Wu You, "It's just killing a perverted old ghost, is it really that big of a deal?"

Why don't you kill one and see?

Despite being weak, Wu You immediately retorted, clearly intending to defend Jiang Xiaochuan.

"I……"

The sixth brother choked, his chubby face turning red, and he couldn't utter another word for a long time.

At this moment, Wu You had already supported himself on the ground with his hands and slowly stood up.

They slowly walked towards the central area where the teleportation array had been set up.

"Hey? Where's that kid going?"

The sixth brother looked puzzled.

Jiang Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows slightly and watched quietly.

Wu You walked to the dim array eye, took out his miniature wooden sword again, and slowly inserted it into the ground at the center.

He muttered incantations, and soon, a strange scene unfolded.

The ground in front of them suddenly began to ripple slightly, like the surface of water.

Immediately afterwards, the remains of the giant tree, the scattered branches and leaves, Yin Changsheng's corpse... everything that shouldn't exist in this forest began to slowly sink.

In just over ten breaths, the previously chaotic battle scene was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Finally, there was almost no trace of the life-or-death struggle that had just taken place.

After doing all this, Wu You staggered back to Jiang Xiaochuan and Lao Liu, explaining:

"In the Crimson Blood Sect, the corpses of high-level martial artists are considered to be highly nourishing, containing abundant blood and qi."

"If Tang Jie obtains this corpse and refines and absorbs it, his strength will probably reach a new level."

Jiang Xiaochuan then realized what was happening, and his eyes flashed with approval. He raised his hand and gently patted Wu You's shoulder: "Well done."

He kept looking Wu You up and down. This young man was not only loyal, but also quite meticulous in his actions, which he greatly admired.

"Even so, what's the use?"

Old Six muttered, "Killing Yin Changsheng, that pale-faced guy surnamed Tang definitely won't let it go. He might send even more experts to hunt us down."

"I knew it, getting involved with you was never going to end well, what a disaster..."

"will not."

Wu You shook his head and looked at Lao Liu with a serious expression, "Since the High Priest promised to restrain Tang Jie, he will never allow such a thing to happen again."

Seeing Wu You's trust in the High Priest, Jiang Xiaochuan's heart stirred slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Wu You, are you really sure you want to be the next High Priest?"

Wu You nodded without hesitation, "That's right. I must take it."

"Can you tell me why?"

Jiang Xiaochuan pressed for details, wanting to know the reason behind the boy's persistence.

Wu You was silent for a moment, a heavy feeling beyond his years flashing across his clear eyes, "Because, I have to live."

"In order to find a way to prolong my life... my parents, my teachers, all died for it, and I... have no way out."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan fell silent.

He knew that Wu You must be carrying a heavy burden that no one else knew about, but he never expected it to be so heavy.

It was a matter of life and death, and it cost the lives of their closest relatives.

For a moment, he was speechless, a subtle pity stirring within him.

The boy's almost obsessive tenacity truly moved him.

When he was channeling spiritual energy just now, he truly sensed the stagnant energy that was destroying life force at the source of Wu You's life.

It turned out to be some kind of rare fate defect.

Did the high priest realize this?

Was his choice of Wu You as his successor a genuine act of selfless help, or did he see some exploitable value in Wu You's qualities?

Although, given the High Priest's current stance and efforts, the former seems more likely.

But Jiang Xiaochuan was no longer as naive as Wu You, and he couldn't help but think deeper into the matter.

Moreover, he had no idea how to cure the pent-up emotions.

However, there are ways to overcome the flaws in one's destiny.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan remain silent with a solemn expression, Lao Liu nudged him with his shoulder and impatiently urged, "Aren't you going to hurry up and leave?"

"Although what this kid said sounds quite mysterious, and the high priest seems quite reliable, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Jiang Xiaochuan, after being bumped by him, decided to temporarily suppress his chaotic thoughts.

He reached into his robes, fumbled for a moment, and took out a simple little jade bottle, from which he poured out a warm-colored pill.

The moment the pill was produced, even the faint, lingering stench of blood seemed to dissipate somewhat.

Lao Liu's eyes widened instantly, and he inhaled even more forcefully through his nose.

This elixir... its appearance, color, and pure fragrance are all extraordinary!

Even at the job fair, the high-quality pills that Jiang Xiaochuan brought out seemed to pale in comparison to the one in front of him!

Old Liu has been in the underworld for many years and has seen a lot of good things.

He could clearly tell that this elixir was not only of extremely high quality, but had reached a rare level.

Moreover, the pill's energy is fresh and vibrant, exuding a unique spiritual charm that comes from a recently produced pill, and it is definitely not an old pill that has been stored for many years!

Could it be... that this guy is actually a hidden alchemist?!

This thought startled even Lao Liu himself, and his gaze towards Jiang Xiaochuan became even more uncertain and doubtful.

"Please take this to the High Priest."

Jiang Xiaochuan gently placed the pill into Wu You's palm.

This pill is called the Spirit Nourishing Pill, and it is one of his few private possessions.

The greatest effect of this pill is to gently nourish and repair the damaged essence of the soul, and it has a remarkable effect on the spiritual weakness caused by cultivation errors.

It can even, to some extent, delay the depletion of lifespan caused by the exhaustion of the spirit and soul.

He could see the life-saving talisman that the high priest had planted on him, its core fluctuations being profound and obscure.

Most of them are related to soul protection or some kind of soul secret technique.

While this Spirit Nourishing Pill may not completely eliminate any potential problems with the High Priest, it is certainly of great benefit in stabilizing his soul and replenishing his energy.

This can be considered a tangible way of repaying his kindness in giving her the talisman.

"Yes."

Wu You immediately realized the extraordinary nature of the pill, tightly protecting it before carefully storing it close to his body in his inner bag.

"Alright, this place is no place to stay any longer. You should go back now. Be careful on your way."

Jiang Xiaochuan gave Wu You some instructions.

"Yes."

Wu You bowed, "Master, please take care on your journey."

"Ah."

Jiang Xiaochuan nodded.

Wu You bowed again, then turned around.

"......etc."

Watching Wu You's retreating figure, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly called out to him.

Upon hearing the voice, Wu You immediately stopped and turned around, her clear eyes looking at Jiang Xiaochuan with a hint of doubt: "Master?"

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at him, paused for a moment, as if making a final decision:

"After you return, please convey this message to the High Priest."

"The matter of you becoming the next High Priest is yet to be determined!"

"No formal succession ceremony or announcement should be made before I see him again."
