Chapter 1113 Tracing the Origins 3
When Yunxi heard that Dugu He had agreed and even made a request, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that he would be stubborn, which would mean she would have to spend more time searching for the hidden formations set up by her predecessors, and she worried that her memory would become even more blurred by then.

So she replied decisively:
"Alright, I agree to your request. I can give you the pills now. As for forging a weapon suitable for you, that will probably take some time, and I'll need to recover some of my strength first."

After speaking, she took out a medicine bottle from her storage pendant, poured out a healing pill, crushed it in front of Dugu He, and then put the powder into a separate white jade bottle and threw it to him.

“Grandmaster He, the pills we refine are extremely potent. Your current physical strength cannot withstand the effects of a whole pill. Even if it is powder, you must take it in ten doses. Otherwise, don’t blame me if you explode and die.”

Dugu He took the white jade bottle with some suspicion, seemingly trying to determine the truthfulness of Yun Xi's words. Yun Xi knew that the two had not yet established trust, and if she said too much, it would easily cause the other party to resist. So she returned to her original position, sat cross-legged on the stretcher, put a healing elixir into her mouth, and began to meditate with her eyes closed.

Dugu He opened the bottle of pills, brought it to his nose and smelled it. A delicate fragrance entered his nostrils, instantly making him feel refreshed and clear-headed. He casually put the bottle into his sleeve and then stared blankly at Yunxi, who was meditating.

Nothing more was said that night. As the sun rose the next morning, the other eight people gradually awoke. They discovered that they seemed to have fallen asleep again, with Grandmaster He still on night watch. This made the squad leader's face darken, and he immediately stepped forward to apologize:
"Grandmaster He, we failed in our duty last night."

Dugu He interrupted:

"We will depart for an hour tonight, and I need to meditate to recover."

"Yes."

The squad leader immediately and respectfully agreed, then instructed his comrades who were gradually waking up to keep watch over the surroundings.

Yunxi had long since returned from her meditation posture to a lying position. She didn't want to walk at all, but she hadn't expected that the departure time would be delayed. However, this did not affect her continued repair of her internal injuries, so she continued to absorb the medicinal properties with her eyes closed.

Dugu He was eager to verify the efficacy of the pills Yunxi had given him, so he deliberately postponed his departure. If something happened to him, the people around him would still have a chance to bring the news back to the capital, so he decided to take a gamble.

If there's a problem with the pills, then their continued cooperation is pointless. If the other party can't fulfill their promises, he will try his best to notify more Grandmasters to capture these people, at least to protect what belongs exclusively to them.

After Dugu He finished preparing, he took out the jade bottle, poured in only a little bit of powder, and then carefully put it into his mouth. The powder melted instantly in his mouth and then turned into a warm current that entered his internal organs. He closed his eyes and began to feel the medicinal properties.

Fifteen minutes later, he opened his eyes in surprise, because all his hidden injuries had been healed and his body had returned to its peak condition. The only slightly embarrassing thing was that a layer of black mud had appeared on his body, accompanied by a sour smell, which made the guards around him unconsciously hold their breath.

Yunxi naturally smelled it too. She opened her eyes, a hint of mockery flashing in them, but she said nothing. She knew this was a side effect of Dugu He taking the healing pill powder.

Although what she gave him wasn't a real longevity pill, it was enough for Dugu He. The elixir itself had the effect of cleansing the marrow and tendons, and the healing pill, after repairing the hidden injuries in his body, would definitely restore his physical condition to its best state, giving him the illusion of rejuvenation. Maintaining this state for a long time would naturally make him believe that he could live forever.

This was the best solution Yunxi could think of, since she couldn't use her divine sense or immortal energy, and couldn't even enter the space. She could only use healing pills to temporarily hold on until they got through the current crisis.

Dugu He had already left the camp to cleanse himself, and returned a quarter of an hour later, having changed into a dark blue robe with subtle patterns. This made him look much more energetic, as if he had become several years younger. Not only did he think so, but the other eight people also noticed something amiss and were secretly speculating about what had happened to Dugu He, wondering if he had broken through to a higher level again.

After Dugu He finished tidying himself up, he ordered them to set off again, and they embarked on their journey to the capital. Meng Lanjun, who had been silently following behind them, breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear that Yun Xi had reached an agreement with Dugu He, which was why she continued to stay in the group. However, she didn't know what the other party would do next.

Luo Liu came to Meng Lanjun's side and said:

"It seems that Elder Ranxi has reached an agreement with that Grandmaster. We must meet with Ranxi tonight, at least to find out her next plans."

Menglan nodded and said:

"I think so too."

That very night, however, they had no chance to see Yunxi, because they were besieged again. This time, their attackers were not a rabble; those who came to capture them were all experts, including three Grandmasters, who caught them completely off guard.

Seeing that things were not going well, Su Cheng immediately took Shi Qingwu and ran away. Luo Liu protected the Luo family disciples, fighting and retreating, and managed to save most of the disciples. However, Zhuge Bai and his men were limited in number, and three of them were captured in a single encounter.

While the two sides were locked in a chaotic battle, Meng Lanjun took advantage of the confusion to chase after Yun Xi. Don't call him selfish; he knew very well that he couldn't leave here safely on his own, and only by following Yun Xi would he have a chance.

But before leaving, he still spoke with Luo Liu:
“I’m going to chase after Yunxi because I’m worried that she’ll be used by that Grandmaster He after she loses contact with us.”

While parrying the attacks, Luo Liu replied:
"Alright, be careful yourself. I'll stay here to protect the Luo family disciples."

"I understand. Don't try to fight back. If you can't win, take them and run away first. Don't get caught."

Then, Meng Lanjun used the fragrance of orchids to cover herself and left the chaotic battle zone. Luo Liu accepted Meng Lanjun's suggestion, and led the remaining Luo family disciples to break through the encirclement and escape with his men.

The three grandmasters joined forces to capture the entire Zhuge Bai team, along with Luo Yiqing and Luo Yuemu, while the rest successfully escaped.

After the three grandmasters met, they began to distribute the captured people. In the end, Qingmu Kingdom received three people, Houdi Kingdom received three people, and the remaining four people were given to the grandmasters of Shuojin Kingdom.

The three waved for their men to take away the person whose meridians had been sealed, as they prepared to press their advantage.

The Grandmaster of Shuojin Kingdom narrowed his eyes and said:
"We really didn't expect that Dugu He would be willing to share the spoils with us and allow us to enter the territory of the Blazing Sun Kingdom. We must make the most of such a good opportunity."

The Grandmaster of Houdi Kingdom frowned and said:
"Because he was too generous, it made me feel unreal. I always felt that he had ulterior motives."
