Into The Sky

On the morning of the fifth day, the fire poison in Xu Chen's body had already exploded who knew how many times. Xu Chen also didn't know how many times he had coughed up blood.

The Ice Dew Pill had also lost its effectiveness, so Xue Sheng gave Xu Chen another pill.

"I didn't expect the fire poison in your body to be so potent. Looks like I won't be able to use the pills I prepared." Xue Sheng's face did not look optimistic at all.

He had originally thought that this was just a simple Fire Poison, and that he would be able to refine three kinds of pills to ensure that Xu Chen would not die during this one month.

However, from the looks of the current situation, he seemed to have underestimated the fire poison within Xu Chen's body. Perhaps he had not underestimated the explosive strength of the fire poison.

He had overestimated Xu Chen's physique. If Xu Chen's physique was too weak, it would be very easy for him to die.

Even Xue Sheng couldn't help but secretly admire this young man. How did he manage to survive these eighteen years?

"Senior Xue Sheng, life and death are determined by fate. If Senior Xue Sheng is unable to guarantee that I'll be able to live for a month, then I won't resent Senior Xue Sheng." Xu Chen said with a pale face.

When Xu Chen had just entered the Sky Bearing Empire, his physique had been a little weak, giving him the appearance of a scholar.

However, the current Xu Chen's face was as pale as a sheet of white paper. He did not have the slightest trace of blood, or perhaps it was more appropriate to describe him as extremely ill and on the verge of death.

"I said that I would let you stay for a month, so I will stay for a month. If the Heavenly Dao wants to take you in, I will fight for this month for you!" Xue Sheng frowned.

"Thank you." Xu Chen was already extremely weak, but he still revealed a sincere smile to express his gratitude.

While they were talking in the courtyard, Jiang Baiqiu, who had not appeared for five days, came. He was here to take Xu Chen away.

Although Jiang Baiqiu wasn't here, he was well aware of Xu Chen's situation.

However, now that he saw Xu Chen's current condition, he couldn't help but frown.

"Senior Xue Sheng, Second Brother Xu's situation doesn't look too good. Can I still bring him along?" Jiang Baiqiu asked worriedly.

In reality, Jiang Bai Qiu wasn't worried about Xu Chen's injuries. Rather, he was more worried about whether Xu Chen would die in the process of implementing their plan.

"Are you questioning me?" Xue Sheng frowned and asked.

"I don't dare. I'm just reminding Senior Xue Sheng that if Xu Chen doesn't live for thirty days, then our agreement with Senior Xue Sheng will be broken." Jiang Baiqiu said faintly.

"There is no need to worry so much about Sky Bearing Empire. All you need to do is take them away."

Xue Sheng snorted coldly and ignored Jiang Baiqiu. Instead, he took out two bottles of pills and three scrolls from his storage ring, giving them to Xu Chen.

"Xu Chen, I prepared these two bottles of medicinal pills in advance. If you feel any discomfort, you can consume them immediately!" Xue Sheng said solemnly, "If these two elixirs fail, then take the Dao Pattern Pill and your injuries will immediately heal!"

"Remember, do not use the Dao Pattern Pill unless it is of the utmost importance!" Xue Sheng instructed.

"What, Dao Pattern Pill!" Looking at the three extremely ordinary scrolls that Xue Sheng had given to Xu Chen, Jiang Baiqiu's eyes widened.

The Dao Pattern Pill was not an ordinary pill. If it was an ordinary pill, putting aside the fact that the ingredients were difficult to gather, refining it would be extremely complicated as well.

In order to concoct pills, not only did one need medical expertise, one also needed to be proficient in Dao prints.

If it was someone who only knew the art of healing and couldn't draw Dao patterns, he wouldn't be a good doctor.

The identity of this doctor would also rise greatly. This was because refining pills required Dao patterns to lock in the medicinal properties, as well as to neutralize all sorts of medicinal ingredients.

In order to prevent the injured from dying after consuming the pill, the Dao Pattern Pill was a hundred times more difficult and precious than an ordinary pill.

This was because the biggest difference between Dao Pattern Pills and normal pills was that after they were refined, they would be sealed within the Dao Pattern Scrolls. The medicinal properties of the Dao Pattern Pills would constantly increase, condensing over and over again.

For example, if the tier of a pill was divided into nine grades.

Ordinary pills, after being tempered a thousand times, would become first-rate after being refined. The medicinal properties would not change, nor increase.

However, the Dao Pattern Pill was different. If one could concoct a Grade 1 Dao Pattern Pill, then after a long period of sealing by a Dao Pattern Scroll, it could be promoted to a Grade 2 pill in a few years. Its medicinal properties would greatly increase!

This was why Dao Pattern Pills were so precious. However, Dao Pattern Pills were also very precious, but the corresponding refinement rate was also hundreds of times more difficult than normal pills.

An ordinary pill, at Xue Sheng's level, could easily be refined with pills below Grade 5.

But regardless of the grade of the Dao Pattern Pill, even Xue Sheng did not dare guarantee that he would have a ten percent chance of being able to refine it in one go.

Therefore, when Xue Sheng took out the Dao Pattern Pill, Jiang Baiqiu was shocked speechless.

He had seen Dao-Vein Pills before. As the number one power of the Northern Lands, the Nihility God Palace also possessed dozens of Dao-Vein Pills.

However, regardless of who it was, no one was allowed to use it as they wished. It was the same even for the clan head, because everyone knew the characteristics and value of the Dao Pattern Pill.

Yet now, Xue Sheng had casually taken out three Dao Pattern Pills and given them to Xu Chen. Moreover, they were pills that could instantly heal any injuries. To anyone, this was an additional life.

Even though he didn't know the name of the pill, it was quite impressive.

Looking at the Dao Pattern Pill in his hand, Xu Chen was clear on its weight. Any casual toss of this item would cause a storm of blood and gore.

Xu Chen didn't expect Xue Sheng to give him something so easily. He knew that Xue Sheng was doing this because he was worried that if he died, he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted from the Sky Bearing Empire.

This was an exchange of benefits, but Xu Chen still sincerely bowed to Senior Xue Sheng and said, "Many thanks, Senior Xue Sheng."

Xue Sheng nodded his head nonchalantly. Looking back at Jiang Baiqiu, he said, "Right now, you can take Xu Chen with you without worry. Please go back and tell Yangyan Jue."

"If I really cannot keep Xu Chen here for a month, I will prepare thirty Dao Pattern Pills!"

"Please also remember our agreement. If I am unable to bring out what I want when the time comes, regardless of whether the Sky Bearing Empire is the strongest power in the Northern Lands or the Eastern Xuan Continent."

"I'll fight to the death with him!" In the beginning, Xue Sheng had already bowed down before coming to the Sky Bearing Empire and repeatedly gave way to the Sky Bearing Empire.

However, the suspicions of the Sky Bearing Empire regarding him made him very unhappy. Although Xue Sheng was not someone who would stir up trouble, he was not someone to be trifled with!

Otherwise, it would be just like he said. No matter who it was, they would die a horrible death!

This was also the reason why Xu Chen didn't dare to force Xue Sheng aside from agreeing to give him benefits and the Xu family giving him benefits.

This was because the old man in front of them was the number one genius doctor of the Profound East Continent. With the connections they had, no one dared to easily provoke him.

Jiang Baiqiu only needed a glance from Xue Sheng to feel an irresistible pressure.

This was because he was afraid from the bottom of his heart. Jiang Baiqiu's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat, and he also realized that the old man in front of him was not Xu Liyang!

"Please be at ease, Senior Xue Sheng. I will definitely bring out what Senior Xue Sheng wants!" Jiang Baiqiu's attitude towards the daily affairs of the Jiang Clan had instantly undergone a great change.

"That's for the best." In the blink of an eye, Xue Sheng was back to how he was before.

Jiang Baiqiu also secretly wiped the cold sweat from his heart. He turned around and said to Xu Chen, "Second brother Xu, please come with me."

Warm Jade was just about to go and help Xu Chen up, but she was stopped by Jiang Baiqiu. He said, "Let me do it."

"Lady Warm Jade, you can stay here."
