Cat Pill

Inside the Shell of All Arts. Zhang Buyao munched on snacks while watching the 'movie'. When she saw the colossal ruby inside Helick's Great Trove and the golden phoenix upon it, her chewing froze. "Huh?" "Isn't that Uncle Feng's storage ring?" She muttered to herself in bewilderment. The others' eyes instantly went wide, and they all whipped their heads toward her as if staring at an alien. "You know Feng Laixian?" Niman asked in utter shock. Zhang Buyao nodded. "Mm, of course I do. Uncle Feng is a nice guy. Every time I went over to cause trouble at his place, he never got angry." "..." Yu Xian and the others fell silent, unsure whether they should break the news that Feng Laixian was already dead, and had even turned into the Abyss to bring calamity upon the myriad heavens. "How did Uncle Feng's storage ring get so huge, and why is it here?" Zhang Buyao muttered, sensing something was wrong without anyone needing to tell her. Outside. Zhi'er originally wanted to slip away. He didn't care about the treasure anymore; he didn't care about anything. All he wanted was to get out of here, preferably as far away from Yu Xian as possible. That freak wasn't human. How could anyone grow stronger that fast? Just standing near Yu Xian, his sixth sense and divine sense were blaring frantic warnings, screaming at him to stay away and run immediately. Yet before he could flee, the cry of a phoenix resonated behind him. As the phoenix cry echoed, a massive gravitational pull dragged Zhi'er into the gemstone. In his final moments, his eyes bulged with pure regret. Five hundred years wasted, all for what kind of damn thing?! Aaaaaagh! If he could, Zhi'er truly wanted to travel back in time and slap himself across the face. ... ... "Big Brother, is Sister Shuishui okay?" Inside Helick's Great Trove, Yu Xian finished examining Shui Yuetian's condition with tightly furrowed brows, prompting Little Nora to ask anxiously. Even though everyone was inside the Shell of All Arts, they had not lost their external senses. Just like how Yu Xian's outer self was handling matters outside while his self inside the Shell of All Arts was eating meat, the two did not interfere with each other at all. Yu Xian gently set Shui Yuetian down and said, "Shuishui's body has... completely lost the bloodline power of the Sea Clan. At most, she has a year left to live. Death is certain." "Ah, Sister Shuishui..." Looking at Shui Yuetian's withered face, Little Nora's voice immediately choked with tears. Even the Little Nora inside the Shell of All Arts began crying loudly. It liked Shui Yuetian very much, because aside from Yu Xian, she was the first person willing to treat it to food. "Is it that hard to cure?" Seeing the grim expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Buyao couldn't help asking. Yu Xian sat to the side and nodded. "Very hard. Her origin power was drained. Unless there is an identical origin to replenish it, she will surely die." Of course, if Shui Yuetian were willing to alter her bloodline and become an offspring of a Shiny Vampire, he could still save her. Right then, Zhang Buyao produced a jade bottle out of thin air and poured a pellet out of it, saying, "Yu Xian, try feeding her this pill." "What is this?" Yu Xian asked, eyeing the pill. Although he had begun to trust Zhang Buyao, the person taking the medicine was Shui Yuetian. Without knowing what Zhang Buyao had handed him, he naturally dared not feed it to Shui Yuetian recklessly. He had to be responsible for Shui Yuetian's life. "This is a Cat Pill. It's a medicine made by Lulu. Lulu told me that after taking this pill, any illness will get better," Zhang Buyao replied. A Cat Pill? Could it be made by a cat? Yu Xian looked at the pill, feeling somewhat uneasy. Still, since Zhang Buyao said it could cure any illness, he might as well treat a dead horse as a living horse and give it a shot. "I'll give it a try." Yu Xian nodded, took the pill, and then asked, "How do I send this pill outside?" This was the interior of the Shell of All Arts. He didn't even know how he had gotten in, let alone how to get out, much less how to transfer an object outside. "If your mind wants to send it out, it will be sent out," Zhang Buyao answered. Yu Xian looked at the pill and willed it. Sure enough, in the very next instant, the pill appeared in the hand of the Yu Xian outside. Outside, Yu Xian placed the Cat Pill into Shui Yuetian's mouth, and then... Shui Yuetian dropped dead on the spot. Yu Xian's eyes widened. Before he could even say a word, kittens began crawling out of Shui Yuetian's body, one after another. These kittens appeared to be playing, but in truth, they were repairing Shui Yuetian's body. Several of the cats even scrambled up along a wisp of white smoke that had appeared out of nowhere. Moments later, the kittens dragged Shui Yuetian's soul back, stuffing it into her body. Immediately, a big white cat and a big black cat rubbed against each other, pressing their two tails against Shui Yuetian's chest, sparking with lightning. Shui Yuetian had originally been dead as a doornail after swallowing the Cat Pill, but after the electric sparks, she suddenly drew breath. At first, it was rapid and shallow, but it gradually settled into a steady rhythm. Yu Xian's jaw practically hit the floor. What on earth was this Cat Pill? This method of resuscitation was utterly absurd—it was absurdity opening the door to absurdity, ridiculous all the way home! "Big Brother, did I eat too many mushrooms and start hallucinating?" Little Nora also found it completely unbelievable. Niman marveled, "Truly, the myriad worlds hold every kind of wonder. Still, this challenges my common sense a bit too much. I'm having trouble processing it." "I thought I would never make a fuss over anything again. Seems my cultivation still isn't up to par," Nora murmured to herself. Inside the Shell of All Arts, Yu Xian looked at Zhang Buyao and said earnestly, "Thank you, Yaoyao. Shuishui is a friend to all of us. If anything happened to her, we would be devastated. So thank you for giving me the Cat Pill, and thank you for saving Shuishui." "No need to thank me! I have tons of Cat Pills here. Want some?" Zhang Buyao said nonchalantly. As she spoke, she took out a bottle and poured out a continuous stream of Cat Pills. Yu Xian pinched a Cat Pill between his fingers. Earlier, desperate to save a life, he hadn't had the chance to inspect it. Now, holding the Cat Pill, he noticed it looked a lot like chocolate. His eyes shifted into the eyes of Zhenwo Changjing, and he looked at the Cat Pill again. In the next instant, he saw two kittens. One of them had its rear stuck out, defecating, while the other used a mold to roll the freshly extruded chocolate into a pill. They seemed to sense Yu Xian's gaze, turning around in unison to look back at him. Both cats flashed sly, mischievous grins and let out a simultaneous "Meow!" Yu Xian instantly pulled back from the vision. Ignorance is bliss... Indeed, some things were better left unexamined. With an intensely conflicted look, Yu Xian glanced at the pile of Cat Pills Zhang Buyao had dumped onto the table. He quietly produced a bottle and swept them inside. He wouldn't eat them himself, but he could always give them to others. In the end, they were treasures that could save lives.
