Chapter 758 – Spring Restoration Pill

“That’s nonsense.” Suxue gently pushed her hand away and wiped her tears. She then looked at her sister, who did not know anything. Her heart ached as she gazed at her innocent face and stroked Suyan’s long hair. She said, “Yan’er, don’t be scared. You’ll recover.”

“I’m not afraid.” Suyan’s eyes were wide as she looked at her older sister. “Like I said, Big Brother will save me.”

Suxue wasn’t sure how to respond. “Don’t trust that bastard. It’s been ten days. Situ Yu has worked hard all this time, while that bastard has only been cultivating in his room. There was not a single sound from him. And he isn’t even out now. Do you think he’s getting scared? Let’s see how long he’ll hide in there!”

“ ... Brother Situ hasn’t come either,” Suyan muttered softly.

After Suyan spoke, Situ Yu entered the yard. He walked up to Bai Lan and bowed his head. Next to him, an older man with a straight posture asked, “Xiao Yu, is it done?”

“Yes, Grandfather. It will definitely work,” answered Situ with a nod.

The old man was at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, and was one of the eight Sect Masters, so he was ranked high in the Demon clan. The eight Sect Elders were powerful people who controlled one county each across the Divine Demon Empire.

When the old man heard Situ Yu, he nodded and said, “Let the Clan Leader know, then.”

“Alright.” Situ Yu nodded and went up to Bai Lan. He said, “Greetings, Clan Leader. After working hard for ten days, I have successfully formulated an anti-aging pill. The Spring Restoration Pill took eighteen types of spiritual herbs to make, including seven advanced King-tier herbs. I had to refine it with my core fire for three days and three nights!”

“Oh? Spring Restoration Pill? What an ugly name you’ve given it! Haha ...” Bai Lan and Lei Ji laughed heartily, leaving the crowd speechless. Why were the two men acting so strangely?

Situ Yu was showing them the pill he made, and it was a very important matter. Not only did Bai Lan not care to ask about the pill’s medicinal properties, he had just called its name ugly. What was the meaning of this?

Situ Yu wanted to give his pill an introduction, but after a few lines, Bai Lan’s laughter completely drowned out his words. Situ Yu felt like vomiting blood. He had worked hard for ten days in order to compete against Long Chen, yet Bai Lan’s laughter showed that he did not take him seriously at all. Situ Yu swallowed his anger.

Since he saw that Bai Lan was not paying attention, he retreated to his grandfather’s side. His grandfather, Situ Yao, was also privately puzzled. Bai Lan was not usually like this. Why would he make a joke at a moment like this?

Situ Yu was still young, so his indignation was written all over his face. Without a word, Situ Yao gave him a look of reassurance, then quietly waited for time to pass.

“Father, I’ll get Long Chen out here.” Suxue stood up and went to Long Chen’s quarters, but halfway through, Bai Lan stopped her.

He said, “He’s cultivating. Let’s not disturb him. It’s not time yet.”

Suxue looked at her father with surprise. She did not understand. Why was Bai Lan treating Long Chen so well? Why was there such a huge difference in the attitude he had just shown Situ Yu? This made the people of the Demon clan privately unhappy, especially Situ Yu and Situ Yao, who were unable to figure out why.

Having no choice, Suxue could only return to her spot.

After a while, she cried out loud because she saw wrinkles forming on her younger sister’s smooth face. Her black hair was starting to turn white, which made Suxue cry out in shock.

She kept hoping that Suyan’s aging was a fake story, yet it was happening right before her eyes. Her beautiful younger sister had suddenly turned old, and her heart ached so much that she wanted to cry.

Bai Lan’s face changed too. He instantly went up to his daughter and supported her in his arms. He comforted her and said, “Don’t be scared, Yan’er. You’ll be well very soon.”

Mere moments ago, Bai Lan was laughing at his joke, but now he radiated a terrifying killing intent. He clearly still cared about his daughter very much.

“Father, am I ugly?” Suyan asked weakly, continuing to age.

“Who said that? My Yan’er is the most beautiful girl,” said Bai Lan gently with a warm smile.

Next, Situ Yao gestured, and Situ Yu went up to Bai Lan. He said, “Clan Leader, Yan’er’s symptoms have started showing. I’ll let her consume the Spring Restoration Pill. If we delay this, she may ...”

Bai Lan looked up, and his cold glare scared Situ into taking a step back.

“Father, if Long Chen won’t come, let Situ Yu try. Situ Yu worked hard for many days. I think he’s the only one who can save Yan’er,” Suxue said anxiously.

She was puzzled by her father’s strange behavior.

The other people of the Demon clan looked at Bai Lan strangely, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Brother Bai, let the kid try first. Then we can let the other one reach the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage before coming here,” said Lei Ji.

Everyone finally understood what Bai Lan was waiting for. Long Chen was breaking through to the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage right now, which was why Bai Lan hadn’t called him out. Why did he put so much importance on the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage kid? They did not understand at all.

“You may try.” Since Lei Ji had spoken, Bai Lan did not insist on opposing him and let Situ Yu try. However, this was very frustrating to Situ Yu. He had created this pill with great difficulty, yet he had to obtain permission from Bai Lan before giving it to Suyan. This was all because of Long Chen. Even if Situ Yu successfully saved Suyan, he would continue to hate Long Chen.

Everyone watched as Situ Yu took an elegant, white jade box out of his Universe Pouch. He opened it gently. Within a gentle, white mist was a pill that looked like a pearl. He had only just opened the box, yet its fragrance had spread to everyone present.

“Judging by its color, texture, and fragrance, we can tell that Situ Yu’s Spring Restoration Pill is a good one.”

“Indeed. He’s the only one who could make such a good pill. I think it will heal Princess Yan’er.”

Everyone discussed in hushed voices while Situ Yu placed the clear pill into her mouth. Her body was already starting to change on a large scale, and the spectators could no longer bear to watch. It was tragic for the beautiful, cute little princes to turn into this state.

Of course, they wanted to see the effects of the Spring Restoration Pill.

When Suyan swallowed the pill according to his instructions, everyone’s eyes were fixed on her. After it reached her stomach, she cultivated it and it started to melt in her stomach, activating its medicinal properties.

Everyone was anxious, especially Suxue. In her mind, this was the only chance for her little sister to survive. If this pill failed to heal her, there was nothing that could be done.

“It’s working! Success!” someone cried. Everyone peered carefully and noticed that her fast-aging process was already starting to slow, and there were even signs of it reversing.

“It actually worked!” Suxue was overwhelmed with emotion. She looked at Situ Yu with gratitude in her eyes. Situ Yu had always been a very attractive member of the Demon clan, and everyone knew that his grandfather wanted to get Bai Lan to marry Suxue to Situ Yu. Situ Yu worked very hard too, doing his best to fulfill her every request. He had used up many of his treasures to refine this pill in order to win her heart.

The pill had worked. Situ Yu felt triumphant. Previously, Bai Lan had intimidated him, but now he had succeeded. He looked at the crowd smugly.

“It actually worked. Situ Yu really is the only alchemist of the Demon clan. He is extraordinary.”

“Yes. He is a rare, handsome talent too. He is at the Eight Earthly Martial Stage now and will likely reach the Heavenly Martial Realm in the future. We will have an additional Heavenly Martial Realm master in our midst.”

Situ Yu was privately delighted to hear such praise. He had succeeded, and Long Chen had not shown up yet. This was a slap to Bai Lan, who placed great trust in Long Chen.

Bai Lan looked a little shocked too. He studied Suyan carefully and indeed, her aging process was starting to reverse. However, it was very slow and she probably needed half a day to heal completely.

Bai Lan had to admit that he had underestimated Situ Yu.

“Father, I feel terrible ...” Suyan suddenly said, her face pale. Everyone was startled and looked over. She was starting to age again! The pill had merely stopped the process for a short while.

Situ Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Suxue was in disbelief. Her heart shattered after seeing her sister like this.

“Long Chen, Long Chen!” Suxue finally placed her hopes on Long Chen.
