“I don’t want this pill.”
After looking at the porcelain bottle for a while, Tao Yunchuan unexpectedly placed the Youth Regaining Vitality Pill on the table.
“Brother-in-law, what are you…”
Xu Ning was puzzled.
“I’ve been like this for twenty years, I’m used to it.”
Tao Yunchuan said, “Moreover, if this pill of yours has such an effect, it is definitely not an ordinary pill. It is too wasteful for me to swallow it. As a warrior, injuries are common. It is better for you to use this as your guarantee.”
Tao Yunchuan’s words made Xu Ning feel a little sad.
“Brother-in-law, this pill is called the Youth Regaining Vitality Pill. It may be a rare treasure for others, but for me, it is not that precious.”
Xu Ning said, “I personally refined this Youth Regaining Vitality Pill.”
“You know how to refine pills?”
Tao Yunchuan looked at Xu Ning in surprise.
Before he was injured, he had cultivated martial arts, so he knew about the lofty status of an alchemist.
“I have experienced a lot this year, and I have gained a lot.”
Xu Ning said, “Brother-in-law, you have to take this Youth Regaining Vitality Pill. For my sister and Tao Tao, you have to do this. You don’t want to be taken care of for the next few years, right?”
Xu Ning’s words hit Tao Yunchuan’s heart.
Tao Yunchuan was not afraid of suffering, but he couldn’t bear to see his family suffer.
“Are you sure you can refine this pill?”
Tao Yunchuan confirmed.
“Of course.”
Xu Ning smiled and said, “I can also refine other pills. When your body recovers, I will refine some pill to strengthen your body to let you practice martial arts again.”
“No need…”
Tao Yunchuan quickly shook his head, then looked at the Youth Regaining Vitality Pills on the table with a look of expectation in his eyes.
‘In this case, I shall use this pill…’
Tao Yunchuan was a little embarrassed.
Xu Ning opened the porcelain bottle and handed it to Tao Yunchuan. “There are a total of six pills in here. Swallow three pills first, then swallow one every other day. After swallowing all of them, in half a month, when the medicinal effect is completely absorbed, you will completely recover.”
Tao Yunchuan’s hand trembled slightly as he grabbed the porcelain bottle.
After smelling the strong medicinal fragrance wafting out from the porcelain bottle, Tao Yunchuan poured out the three Youth Regaining Vitality Pills and swallowed them.
Three Youth Regaining Vitality Pills instantly dissolved inside Tao Yunchuan’s mouth, turning into a warm current that went directly into Tao Yunchuan’s abdominal cavity.
Tao Yunchuan felt his body warm up.
Especially his injured arm and leg.
“My arm, my leg…”
Tao Yunchuan felt his old injuries starting to itch.
It seemed that his flesh, muscle, and bones were starting to heal.
“Brother-in-law, how do you feel?”
Xu Ning asked.
“I feel full of strength like my arms and legs are at my beck and call.”
Tao Yunchuan’s expression was a little gleeful.
He stood up and began to stretch his muscles, trying to pace back and forth in the room.
“Nice, nice!”
Tao Yunchuan’s movements were much more flexible than before.
Although he was far from being completely healed, he was obviously in a better state than before.
Tao Yunchuan walked faster and faster. As he walked, he felt the heat in his abdominal cavity continue to surge to every part of his body. The feeling of his old injuries healing was becoming more and more real.
After a while, Tao Yunchuan’s movements became a lot more agile.
Tao Yunchuan also noticed that the scars on his hideous old wounds were smoothed out, as if they were wiped away.
“Xu Ning, I…”
After feeling the changes in his body, Tao Yunchuan suddenly didn’t know how to express it.
The life of a normal person he had lost twenty years ago seemed to have returned.
“Brother-in-law, calm down, in half a month, you will completely recover. You will be able to run and jump like a normal person.”
Xu Ning comforted Tao Yunchuan.
“The pancakes are ready!”
Xu Lian moved quickly.
She walked into the house with the pancakes and saw Tao Yunchuan walking slowly in the house.
Xu Lian noticed that Tao Yunchuan, who used to walk with a limp, was now walking like a normal person, but his movements were still slow and sluggish.
“Yunchuan, what are you…”
Xu Lian looked at her husband in a daze.
She had never seen Tao Yunchuan like this.
She had brought Xu Ning into the Tao Village, and when she first married Tao Yunchuan, Tao Yunchuan was already injured.
“My old injuries are healed!”
Tao Yunchuan looked at his wife and smiled, revealing his teeth. “Xu Ning gave me a kind of pill that can heal my old injuries. In half a month, I will be like a normal person!”
“Okay, okay.”
Xu Lian’s eyes were red again as she kept repeating “okay”.
Xu Ning was happy to see Xu Lian so happy.
“Ah Lian, go kill another chicken, make a dish and take out the wine. When Guo Ye comes later, let’s have a good meal!”
Tao Yunchuan suddenly changed his words. “No, I will go, I will go personally.”
Tao Yunchuan was fascinated by the feeling of regaining control of his limbs.
More than half an hour went by.
Tao Yunchuan, Xu Lian, Tao Tao, Guo Ye, and Xu Ning sat together at the dining table.
When Guo Ye heard Tao Tao say that Xu Ning was back, he quickly ran over.
After seeing his missing good friend returning safely, Guo Ye was so excited that he couldn’t control himself. After a while, his emotions stabilized.
“Guo Ye, when I was not here, thank you for taking care of my sister, my brother-in-law, and Tao Tao, let me give you a toast.”
Xu Ning poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, then thanked Guo Ye.
Although the difference in their strength and status was huge, Xu Ning still had the same attitude when facing Guo Ye.
“You’re welcome.”
Guo Ye also drank the wine in one gulp. After putting down the wine glass, he looked at Xu Ning. “Xu Ning, what have you experienced in the past year?”
After Guo Ye asked, Tao Yunchuan, Xu Lian, and even Tao Tao, who was eating chicken feet, put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Xu Ning.
“It’s a long story.”
After Xu Ning saw this, he briefly explained his experience over the past year.
However, Xu Ning skipped some details.
He only said that because of the Wei family members, he was taken to State Jifeng to do some manual labor. Afterwards, he cleverly escaped and joined a sect before improving greatly in his martial arts.
When the time was right, he rescued the three Wei family members and returned home.
Xu Ning avoided talking about the danger and just described his gains.
However, although Xu Ning said this, everyone at the table also knew that Xu Ning’s trip did not go so smoothly.
He had obviously suffered a lot.
“It’s all in the past, at least now we’re together again.”
Xu Ning stopped talking about this topic.
“Yes, everyone is reunited again.”
Guo Ye said before pausing, “By the way, Xu Ning, the entire village is moving away tomorrow, so help Sister Lian pack her stuff.”
“We are moving away?”
Xu Ning was surprised.
He thought about it. When he was walking in the village just now, some of the villagers had already placed their belongings in the courtyard and sorted them out.
“Yeah…”
Guo Ye then explained the situation in Kangyun County, Dingyun County, and Qiuyun County.
Xu Ning now understood why there were defensive fortifications and a fight between the garrison troops.
“I see…”
Xu Ning finally knew everything.
“Don’t worry about moving. I will find the Clan Head to discuss this matter again.”
Xu Ning said to his family and Guo Ye.
“Xu Ning, what do you mean?”
Guo Ye was puzzled.
Although Xu Ning said that his strength had greatly improved, in Guo Ye’s opinion, he had only grown to a level similar to the leader of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County. He couldn’t imagine a higher realm.
“You will know soon.”
Xu Ning continued to eat with his family.
After dinner, Xu Ning didn’t stay at home, he instead went to find Tao Jingxing.
Tao Jingxing and the other clan elders were still eating with Wei Changqing and the other two.
“Clan Head, clan elders.”
Xu Ning walked straight in.
Everyone didn’t mind Xu Ning’s sudden intrusion.
After knowing that Xu Ning had advanced to the void realm, all of the Tao Village elders were even more enthusiastic about Xu Ning.
He even vaguely saw Xu Ning as the core of the Tao Village, even though Xu Ning was an outsider.
“I already know about the plan for the village to relocate and the current situation.”
Xu Ning said, “I can resolve this situation. Clan Head, you just need to inform the clan to stop the entire village from moving. Leave the rest to me.”
“Okay, thank you!”
Tao Jingxing planned to explain the situation to Xu Ning later, but Xu Ning took the initiative to request this.
After knowing that Xu Ning had advanced to the void realm, Tao Jingxing knew that the Tao Village and even Kangyun County were safe.
“Clan Head, who is in charge of Kangyun County now?”
Xu Ning asked.
“He is Commander Wei Changqing’s nephew, Wei Bingqi.”
Tao Jingxing said.
Wei Changqing also added, “Wei Bingqi is the son of my brother, and is also Bing Lin and Zicheng’s cousin. The reason he came here to be the commander of the Black Armored Guards was to wait for news from the three of us.”
Tao Jingxing had told Wei Changqing about this.
“In this case, let’s go to the Black Armored Guards in the county city and ask about the situation.”
Xu Ning said.
“Okay, let’s go now.”
Wei Changqing immediately agreed.
Afterwards, Xu Ning left with the Wei family members.
Only the clan elders of the Tao Village were left at the table.
“Xu Ning is growing too fast…”
Tao Jingfang sighed.
“Yeah, I taught him his internal skill.”
Tao Jinglu responded.
“Clan Head, can Xu Ning really stabilize the situation?”
A clan elder asked.
Tao Jingxing pondered for a moment. “The power of the void realm…”
“One person can defend one side.”
