Chapter 92: Chapter 22 Pu Yan Warrior_5
Xuan Yue gave him a glare, saying, "Do we have to tell you everything we know? Who said Ah Dai knows martial arts, he just possesses a bit more strength."
Moon Scar and his companions had been honing their martial arts for all those years, during Ah Dai’s bout with Yan Shi, they could tell that his strength and techniques weren’t merely "a bit stronger". Especially that faint white battle aura, was a symbol representing a skilled fighter. Moon Scar pulled Yue Ji, who was about to ask him, and subtly shook his head. Miao Fei, who felt out of place, didn’t ask any more questions either. Xuan Yue leaned back on the chair and fell asleep. Suddenly, the carriage fell silent, the only sounds being the carriage wheels rumbling and the clip-clop of the horses’ hooves.
In a short while, Ah Dai had adapted to basic horse riding movements, and with the help of Yan Shi, he was able to keep pace with him.
Yan Shi led Ah Dai and walked in front, instructing his men not to follow too closely, said: "Brother Ah Dai, I really should thank you for showing mercy in our duel earlier, or else, sigh..."
Ah Dai scratch his head, saying, "Big Brother Yan Shi, don’t say that, we don’t really have any deep-seated grudges, so why would I harm you? We simply want to pass through the Noble Domain."
Yan Shi nodded, saying, "I was the one being too impulsive. However, our Pu Yan clan has always had some hostility towards the other races on this continent, which is why the previous incident occurred. But with you being affiliated with the Tian Gang Sword Sect, there shouldn’t be any problem now. The Tian Gang Sword Sect is practically synonymous with justice! Oh, right, brother, this is for you." While speaking, Yan Shi took out a longan-sized medicinal pill from his bosom and handed it to Ah Dai.
Ah Dai reached out to accept it, asking, "Big Brother Yan Shi, what is this?"
Yan Shi chuckled, saying, "Brother, just eat it. This is a secret healing potion called the Injury-Curing Pill from our Pu Yan clan. Its healing effects are excellent. You changed your moves in the last moment to prevent hurting me and hence spat out blood, the internal injury must be severe. After consuming this, you won’t need to worry about it. Your injury will heal in no time."
Ah Dai sniffed the Injury-Curing Pill and thought for a moment, saying: "Big Brother Yan Shi, this Injury-Curing Pill is precious! It contains Star Grass, Tendon Clearing Fruit, and Azure Fall Flower, all of which are valuable medicinal ingredients. Are you sure you want to give this to me?" From being with Goris for a year, Ah Dai had already learned to identify medicinal ingredients by their smell.
Yan Shi looked surprised, saying: "Brother, I didn’t expect you to know about medicinal ingredients! Only our clan’s Prophet knows the exact ingredients of the Injury-Curing Pill, but it seems like the ingredients you mentioned are indeed part of it. Since you got injured because of me, just eat it. It will be of great benefit to your injury."
Ah Dai nodded, saying: "Thank you, Big Brother Yan Shi." After saying so, he peeled off the waxy coating of the Injury-Curing Pill and swallowed it.
Yan Shi chuckled, saying: "Brother, don’t be so polite. Honestly, I really admire your martial arts skills. I’ve been unable to find anyone my age who could defeat me. You’re the first one. I was really too arrogant before. Turns out there are always stronger people out there! I still shudder when I remember your final move."
After swallowing the Injury-Curing Pill, a warm current immediately flowed into the Dantian, spreading throughout his body. The warmth was very comforting, and his chest didn’t hurt anymore, his True Qi grew more condensed under the influence of the medicine’s effect. Ah Dai took a moment to adjust his breathing, saying: "The medicinal power of the Injury-Curing Pill is indeed strong, my injuries have almost healed. Big Brother Yan Shi, I’m actually not as strong as you, it’s just that my Tian Gang Sword is heavier than your knife, and perhaps Miss Xuan Yue bestowed upon me some supporting magic, that’s why I was able to defeat you."
