Chapter 400 Our Turn

"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.

Shen Min\'s expression remained mostly indifferent throughout the conversation, only cautiously observing the three unfamiliar people as if trying to peer into their thoughts and motives.

"Haha, well isn\'t that something to look forward to? It seems there is a chance for me to become closer with you after all.

Mm, but regarding calling you Little Brother, it seems this Sister must apologize, after Senior Zhao acknowledged you as his senior, how can I play the older one? It was rude of me, Wu Long"

Madam Liang placed an accent on his name at the end as Wu Long\'s eyes slightly narrowed.

"Here take these pills"

Wu Long took out a few porcelain bottles and gave the old man some medicinal pills from them, which the latter took without hesitation.?Wu Long watched that and nodded with satisfaction.

He then took out leather rolls as Old Man Zhao started to prepare to lay on the table, while the others were already about to go outside.

But then, Zhao Xieren casually took a look at the rolls, one of which he had already seen before when Wu Long cured him before, and his eyes widened as not all of the rolls had similar needles as the last time. Some of the needles were not so thin, and far not so short.

As the glint on the sharp edges of those needles reflected in his widened eyes and he froze, the others who sensed something in his expression followed his line of sight as Wu Long continued to open up leather rolls, and take out various ointments and medicines.

"Um.... Da-Daoist Wu?"

A feeble voice resounded from Zhao Xieren as beads of sweat started going down the sides of his forehead.

"Take off the upper robes and lie face down on the table"

Wu Long did not turn, still preparing his tools.

"Um... I just think-... I suddenly feel better. Maybe I am cured?"

The old man started lightly stretching with a wondrous expression. No doubt having been graced by a miracle.

"Hehehe, old geezer what are you talking about? Go and receive your treatment, this kind man will cure you. Your worried son cannot watch you be so unwell..."

As Zhao Xieren slightly fidgeted without continuing to prepare his son Zhao Biren\'s lips widened in a grin as he expressed his \'worry\'.

"Shut up you ungrateful drunkard! ... Da-Daoist Wu..."

"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.
