"What did you say?!" Wu Tian jumped up in agitation upon hearing what Yagami Yuriko said. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Yagami Yuriko replied, "You heard me correctly. What's inside this box is the Immortal Root."
"With it, your path to the Immortal Realm will be much smoother."
Wu Tian could hardly believe his ears.
He stared intently at the box, his breathing slightly rapid, and said, "You're not lying to me, are you? Why would you give me something like this?"
Yagami Yuriko said, "Because you can help me. It's that simple."
"With the Sacred Dragon inheritance you possess, you are different from us. Even if our current gap doesn't seem that large."
"But as time goes by, you will understand just how powerful your inheritance truly is."
Wu Tian felt a buzzing in his head.
Seeing his reaction, Yagami Yuriko wasted no more words and opened the box.
The moment the box was opened, a golden light instantly filled the entire room.
Then, as the golden light dispersed, what was inside the box was revealed to Wu Tian.
It was a plant resembling ginseng, entirely golden, as if crafted from pure gold, and it emanated a faint glow.
Wu Tian's eyes immediately became bloodshot because he had used his X-ray vision to examine it, and the final piece of information he received was—
This thing was indeed the legendary Immortal Root!
This was something Wu Tian had dreamt of day and night!
Now, with it lying before his eyes, how could he not be excited?
His heart trembled, and he cautiously said to Yagami Yuriko, "You... how do you have something like this?"
"Isn't the Immortal Root said to be rare? Why can you take it out so easily?"
Yagami Yuriko said, "Easily? No, this is an Immortal Root that our Yagami family has preserved for three hundred years. Because I am the successor of the Yagami, the family gave the Immortal Root to me."
"And now I believe you need it more than I do, so I'm giving it to you."
Wu Tian could not contain his emotions.
He said with a trembling voice, "Something so precious... are you really willing to give it to me?"
"What about you then? Are you planning to enter the Immortal Realm?"
Yagami Yuriko shook her head, "I've never been interested in such things."
"The Yagami family is a family of physicians. I believe my mission should be to be a good doctor."
"If I have the chance to obtain another Immortal Root in the future, then I can enter the Immortal Realm then. And if I don't, I won't feel any regret."
Looking at Yagami Yuriko's calm face, Wu Tian knew she was telling the truth.
Such a mindset made Wu Tian admire her. After all, entering the Immortal Realm meant eternal life.
Yet Yagami Yuriko showed no interest in eternal life. Such a woman was truly unbelievable!
At the same time, Wu Tian also understood that obtaining the Immortal Root was not an easy task.
For someone to give him such a precious item, they expected him to change their life.
If he failed to do so, he would be letting down their good intentions.
But despite the pressure, how could Wu Tian think about all that now?
No matter what, he had to get his hands on this Immortal Root.
Otherwise, if he tried to find it on his own, he didn't know how long it would take.
Therefore, his expression became a bit more serious, and he said solemnly, "Since you've gone this far, I won't disappoint you."
"Rest assured, I will do everything I can to break through to the Immortal Realm within these three months."
"And I will help you with whatever you need me to do then."
Yagami Yuriko nodded and said, "Then everything depends on you. Also, I can help you once more with your strength improvement."
Wu Tian was taken aback, "You can still help me?"
"No way, you're really putting all your bets on me!"
Yagami Yuriko said, "Otherwise, you are the only one I can rely on. If you are willing to help me, then I am willing to dedicate everything to you."
After speaking, Yagami Yuriko took out another small box. Upon opening it, Wu Tian saw a black pill lying inside.
"What is this?" Wu Tian asked curiously.
Yagami Yuriko said, "This is the Spirit Ascension Pill. It contains a large amount of spiritual energy, specifically for Level Nine spiritual cultivators."
"You are currently at the lower stage of Level Nine. After you consume it, your strength should increase to the middle stage, which will save you a lot of time."
Wu Tian was astonished again and said, "No way, you're giving me such a good thing too?"
"You... I don't even know what to say."
Yagami Yuriko said, "You don't need to say anything, because this is a transaction. You get what you want, and I get what I want."
"Eat it now. With me here, I can help you digest the spiritual energy within the pill."
"Otherwise, you might not be able to withstand the impact."
Wu Tian understood Yagami Yuriko's meaning.
Although there was only a small difference between the lower and middle stages of Level Nine, the gap in spiritual energy was worlds apart.
A spiritual cultivator at the middle stage of Level Nine could easily kill a spiritual cultivator at the lower stage of Level Nine.
Therefore, after swallowing the Spirit Ascension Pill, if Wu Tian had no one to help him, he would likely need a week to digest the immense spiritual energy within.
And if he was not careful, it could even cause his spiritual palace to explode, posing a life-threatening risk.
So, Wu Tian did not stand on ceremony with Yagami Yuriko. He nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll eat it now. I'll rely on you to protect me."
After receiving Yagami Yuriko's consent, Wu Tian immediately consumed the Spirit Ascension Pill and began to circulate the spiritual energy within his body.
The Spirit Ascension Pill was indeed a divine pill, containing unimaginable spiritual energy.
Under the catalysis of the spiritual energy, the effects of the Spirit Ascension Pill immediately became apparent.
Wu Tian felt spiritual energy pouring into his spiritual palace like rolling mist.
His body temperature rapidly increased, his skin turned red, and his muscles, like coiled dragons, quickly became prominent.
This feeling was undoubtedly extremely uncomfortable for him.
He felt as if his body was about to explode. If he hadn't been suppressing it with all his might, blood might have even flowed from his seven orifices.
He had experienced this kind of torment once before, when he advanced from Level Eight to Level Nine.
This time, the pain was even more severe, to the point of being indescribable.
Seeing the contorted expression on his face, Yagami Yuriko knew the pain he was enduring.
A soft sigh was heard, and then she walked towards Wu Tian.
