Chapter 598: Weakened Yang Qiuyu

Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Weakened Yang Qiuyu

Yang Jian’s thoughts gradually returned to him, a crazed glint flickering in his eyes. He leaned close to Yu Fanghua’s ear and whispered, "Fanghua, are you saying that little punk has a Spatial Magical Artifact?"

Yu Fanghua narrowed her eyes. "Jian, don’t you think that little punk Cheng Yuan looks a bit familiar? Doesn’t he bear a striking resemblance to *that* woman?"

Yang Jian froze, his mind flashing back to a portrait he had seen decades ago.

Although he hadn’t participated in the battle decades ago, the woman’s face was deeply etched into the depths of his memory!

Because the woman was just too beautiful!

She could have effortlessly overshadowed Yu Fanghua, who was hailed as the number one beauty in the Ancient Martial Realm!

"Fanghua, now that you mention it, he does look a bit like her. Should we spread the word? Those old geezers from back then would never let the descendant of that woman go!"

"No need to rush. The next full moon is when the Five Great Holy Lands will reinforce the seal. Huangfu Yanyi will have to go help! Without his protection, Cheng Yuan will never escape the hunt from those old geezers! And we can be the fisherman who profits. Our goal is one thing and one thing only—the Spatial Magical Artifact."

"Fanghua, having you is the greatest fortune of my life!"

Yu Fanghua smiled faintly and continued to watch the disciples train.

But as she scanned the area, she didn’t see Yang Qiuyu, which she found a little odd.

"Jian, why isn’t Qiuyu at the training grounds? She’s usually the most diligent."

Yang Jian hesitated. "Could Haoyu’s death have hit her too hard? Come on, let’s go check on Qiuyu and comfort her. She needs to pull herself together as soon as possible, or the Jinling Yang Family will have no one to carry on its legacy."

Yu Fanghua nodded. "Qiuyu’s feelings for Haoyu were indeed profound. I hope she can move on from this quickly."

While the two were talking, the disciples below opened their Jade Bottles to inspect the Elixirs inside, afraid they might have been taken as well.

Fortunately, the Elixirs in the bottles were perfectly fine, with none missing.

This allowed the Yang Family disciples to breathe a small sigh of relief.

Suddenly, some of the Yang Family disciples noticed something was wrong. These ’Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills’ seemed a bit larger than the ones the Old Matriarch had rewarded them with before.

However, the Yang Family disciples didn’t dwell on it. They quickly came up with a reasonable explanation: Elixirs treasured away in the Old Matriarch’s treasury were bound to be of higher quality. It was understandable that they would be a little bigger.

Before leaving, Yang Jian announced in a deep voice, "All members of the Yang Family, listen up! From now on, you may freely consume the Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills according to your body’s needs. I will make a trip to Medicine Valley later. The direct disciples of our Jinling Yang Family will have more than enough Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills!"

"Long live the Second Great-Master!!"

The disciples cheered wildly!

Yang Jian and Yu Fanghua looked at each other and smiled. They believed that with enough Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills, their Jinling Yang Family would surely rise swiftly!

Even if it meant exhausting the foundation they had built over several hundred years!

They were willing to accept the cost!

After the two left, the disciples eagerly swallowed the ’Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills’.

BOOM!

A surging, tempestuous wave of Medicinal Power erupted in their stomachs!

The disciples immediately started Cultivating, striving to absorb the Medicinal Power!

For a moment, incredibly intense energy fluctuations rolled across the training grounds!

The disciples fell into a deep state of Cultivation, completely oblivious to the energy that was slowly leaking from their pores.

The intensity of the energy on the training grounds grew stronger and stronger!

Yang Jian and Yu Fanghua arrived at Yang Qiuyu’s chambers.

Yu Fanghua knocked gently on the door. "Qiuyu, why weren’t you at the training grounds to cultivate? Are you awake? May your master come in?"

Soon, a weak voice came from inside. "Master, the door isn’t locked. Come in."

Yu Fanghua pushed the door open and entered the chambers with Yang Jian.

Yang Qiuyu struggled to get out of bed, weakly coming forward to greet them with a bow. "Qiuyu greets Master, and greets..."

Before she could finish, Yang Qiuyu stumbled. If Yu Fanghua hadn’t been quick to react and grab her, she would have certainly pitched face-first onto the floor!

"Qiuyu, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so weak?"

Yang Qiuyu looked up, a gloomy expression on her face, and said, "Last night, I was dreaming all night... Haoyu was in my room..."

Only then did Yang Jian and Yu Fanghua get a clear look at Yang Qiuyu’s face, and their expressions changed drastically!

’She’s only been gone for one night, how can Qiuyu be so haggard?’

’She even has dark circles under her eyes!’

’Her eyes are completely bloodshot!’

’And her vitality is incredibly weak!’

’What in the world is going on?’

Yu Fanghua asked, completely bewildered, "Qiuyu, even if you dreamt of Haoyu, you shouldn’t be this weak!"

Yang Qiuyu gave a bitter smile. "Haoyu wore me out all night. Even though it was a dream, it felt like he really did wear me out all night! I’m so tired, so sleepy."

’Wore her out all night?’

Yu Fanghua and Yang Jian exchanged a look of utter bewilderment.

’How could this happen?’

Yu Fanghua raised a hand and placed it on Yang Qiuyu’s wrist to check her pulse. Yu Fanghua had learned some medical arts from the Old Dragon King, and her skills were on par with an ordinary Divine Doctor.

After carefully examining her pulse for several minutes, Yu Fanghua found no signs of illness in Yang Qiuyu’s body.

Yu Fanghua said hesitantly, "Qiuyu, your feelings for Haoyu must be so deep that you’re unwilling to accept his passing. That’s why you... with Haoyu in your dreams..."

Yang Qiuyu sighed. ’That must be it,’ she thought. She truly had dedicated everything to Yang Haoyu.

"I hope I stop having these dreams after my Life Origin recovers. A few more nights like this, and I’m afraid I’ll die from utter exhaustion..."

Just as she spoke, Yang Lingzhi burst into Yang Qiuyu’s chambers, his face fraught with panic. He said nervously, "Mother, Second Uncle, something terrible has happened!!"

Their expressions changed. "Lingzhi, what is it? Did Huangfu Yanyi come back for another attack?"

"No, it’s the disciples at the training grounds! Something’s happened to them!"

Their expressions relaxed slightly.

"What happened to the disciples? Tell us slowly!"

"After the disciples took the Elixirs and completed one Great Cycle of cultivation, not only did their Cultivation not improve, but they’re constantly leaking energy! It’s only been fifteen minutes, and more than ten disciples have already dropped a cultivation level! You have to go see!"

Their expressions changed once more, and they rushed towards the training grounds.

As Martial Saints, they were extremely sensitive to the flow of energy. They could clearly feel energy constantly leaking from the pores of the Yang Family disciples!

By now, at least twenty disciples had already dropped a level!

And the number was still soaring!

Yang Jian and Yu Fanghua were completely stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes!

"Why is this happening? Taking an Essence Enhancing Pill should drastically increase their Power, so why are they losing Power instead?"

A flash of inspiration struck Yang Jian. He suddenly thought of something, strode forward, and held his hand out to a junior disciple. "Give me a ’Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill’."

"Yes, sir."

The junior disciple quickly tipped out a ’Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill’ and handed it to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian handed the ’Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill’ to Yu Fanghua. "Fanghua, you’re an expert in pharmacology. Take a look and see if this ’Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill’ has been tampered with!"

Yu Fanghua broke the ’Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill’ in half, brought it to her nose to smell it, and her face instantly turned pale!

"There’s something wrong with this Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pill! It contains ingredients of a Dissolving Pill!!"
