Chapter 400 Our Turn

Wu Long took out a glass bottle, in the center of which a drop of liquid gave off a green glow as particles of green light circled around it. The gentle light was vibrating in a rhythm resembling a pulse of a beating heart, giving off a soothing and wondrous sensation.

Madam Liang, Old Man Zhao and his son all froze and halted their breaths.

"T-This is...!"

Madam Liang could not hold back her shock as she gasped.

"The Dew of Life?!"

"Impossible..."

And neither could the father and son as they looked at the drop of liquid.

"Is that why you traveled to the Wood Spirit Continent?"

Liang Yuhan then came to a realization, turning her gaze from the glass bottle to Wu Long who nodded in response.

"But how can that be? It's not like I never thought about it... but that Wood Spirit Senior could not be persuaded no matter what I offered..."

Zhao Xieren asked with bewilderment.

"Haha, I have my tricks"

Wu Long chuckled, causing the father and son to shake their heads in incredulousness, still shocked by the turn of events.

"Hmm, I really hope you would tell this Sister at least some of your secrets, handsome"

Madam Liang's demeanor changed back to normal faster though, as she smiled at Wu Long's answer.

"Hah, not calling yourself Older Sister now? But let's see, haha, depending on circumstances and how this partnership goes, I might be inclined to"

He didn't falter as he replied, causing Feng Yi to smirk. She knew this smile of his, and found this woman's behavior a little similar to her own in the past, characterized by the word 'clueless' of who she was dealing with.

"I told you that our interests align and I need you alive did I not? You will get better even if you try to run. Besides I have your son and Madam Liang who will help me hold you down if you doubt me. They might have not been able to do much before but after you took those pills I just gave you..."

"Y-You! You tricked me! I thought those pills were for the treatment! Doesn't that go against some Doctor's oath or something?!"

"First, they were for treatment, at least most of them, I just added one that had a slight side-effect when combined with others.

Next, it is for your own good, you will think first before accepting pills from strangers in the future.

And finally, I am not a doctor, I just know how to treat you. Now, if you don't mind, prepare for treatment, or shall I ask the two for cooperation?"

Wu Long casually said and as the old man's eyes widened and then shifted to the side where he saw Madam Liang's reluctant but still steady nod, and his son's eager expression as he warmed up his hands.

"Haa~..."

He heavily sighed, and finally surrendered to his fate, turning to take off his upper robes while Wu Long finished preparing and turned with some pill bottles in hands as the others left the room, with one notable face full of regret.

---

The treatment took long, as people outside waited for two days straight. At the end, a powerful ripple spread from the room the treatment was proceeding in, halted only by the formation.

"Whew~"

Wu Long came out visibly tired as his Spiritual Qi was considerably depleted and the mental strain required for the complex procedure was too much for the current still mortal body.

A step after him came out an old man, but his back was no longer bent as his posture was full of dignity. His whole image was unrecognizable, and even though he did not look any younger, there was no longer a feeble feeling coming from him. His image gave off a powerful feeling of an elder still full of energy and vigor.

"Thank you, Daoist Wu... it truly is a miracle"

His face was still in astonishment as he was looking at his hands, still confirming the feeling of strength coursing through his veins. His left hand that was previously severed during his attempt at breaching the Central Sea has regrown, showcasing incredible and quite frankly borderline-unreasonable potency of the Dew of Life.

"Now, it's our turn to pick the rules"

Wu Long nodded, slightly pale as Shen Min worriedly came over to him. He was not weakened to the point of needing support, but still smiled at this gesture. Feng Yi came to his other side, as Madam Liang and Zhao Biren looked with widened eyes at the almost unrecognizable old man.
