328: Chapter 151 Pill Fusion_4 328: Chapter 151 Pill Fusion_4 Cao Zhen had been holding Yu Tuoyu and naturally made his way toward the tower in the center of the city upon hearing the call.
This was an incredibly bustling city, with streets teeming with carriages and horses, and a constant flow of people.
Its area was much larger than Yu Min Town, which they had passed through earlier.
There were many buildings within the city, but the tallest structure was the seven-story tower at the city’s center.
The tower mentioned by the other party must be that one.
As Cao Zhen walked along, he noticed that the citizens within the city had very healthy complexions, showing no signs of being affected by Demonic Qi, indicating that any Demonic Qi here had been completely suppressed.
Although he didn’t fly, his pace was much faster than that of an ordinary person.
In no time, he arrived outside the tower.
The tower was grey, and though there were no guards stationed around it, no citizens approached it either.
At the entrance of the tower, a stern-looking, handsome middle-aged man in a black robe was already waiting.
Spotting Cao Zhen walking over, he nodded and introduced himself, “Under the Grand Preceptor, I am Fang Tuojie.”
Cao Zhen, still cradling Yu Tuoyu, couldn’t perform the traditional clasped-hand salute and could only say by mouth, “Hundred Peaks Sect, Hundredth Peak, Four Treasures Peak’s Peak Master, Cao Zhen.”
Fang Tuojie nodded slightly again and took Yu Tuoyu from Cao Zhen’s arms.
As they moved, the large overcoat that had been wrapped around Yu Tuoyu slipped a little, revealing Yu Tuoyu’s face, which had lost all its color.
Instantly, Fang Tuojie’s face changed drastically, and he looked up sharply at Cao Zhen, demanding in a stern voice, “Did you see my junior sister’s true face?
Besides you, who else has seen her true appearance?”
An expression of embarrassment appeared on Cao Zhen’s face.
The girl had been disguised as a man, yet he had seen her true face and carried her all this way.
Now that her senior brother had learned of it, he felt somewhat ashamed.
“Only I have seen her,” he pointed at the overcoat and said, “After I realized her true appearance, I immediately wrapped her in this overcoat.
No one else has seen.”
He recalled countless novels and TV dramas he had seen and asked with some curiosity, “Are you going to kill me because I saw her true face?
Or are you going to make me marry her?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Tuojie was visibly taken aback, obviously not expecting Cao Zhen to say such a thing.
But quickly, his face regained its sternness as he said, “We will discuss your matter later.
Right now, I need to save my junior sister first.”
Saying this, he turned and entered the tower, quickly reaching the sixth floor.
The entire sixth floor was a Formation.
He swiftly placed Yu Tuoyu at the center of the Formation, and immediately, the surrounding jade stones emitted dazzling light, converging from piece to piece, with rich Mana gathering and shooting towards Yu Tuoyu.
A vortex of endless Mana swirled around Fang Tuojie.
He placed his hand on the back of Yu Tuoyu, and a visibly silver light surged forth, flowing into Yu Tuoyu’s body.
His junior sister had actually self-destructed her Golden Core, and in her current state, all he could do was to inject his own power into her to help stabilize her vital energy.
“No, something’s wrong!”
Suddenly, he frowned slightly.
Inside his junior sister’s body was still another force.
What is this?
A Golden Core?
No, not a Golden Core, but something similar, a very special Strange Core.
What could this be?
Outside the tower, sensing that the Heretical Golden Core had been detected by Fang Tuojie, Cao Zhen initiated a mental command, allowing the Heretical Golden Core to transmit a message.
“I am Four Treasures Peak’s Cao Zhen.
Your junior sister was extremely weak earlier, and to save her life, I had no choice but to do this.
Do I need to take the Exotic Pill back now?”
“You…”
Fang Tuojie, sensing the special aura of the Exotic Pill, had his expression change yet again.
It was a very special Exotic Pill, not a Golden Core, but it possessed the effects of a Golden Core and seemed to nourish his junior sister’s body.
This was something even a real Golden Core could not accomplish.
After all, each person’s Golden Core is unique.
Whether or not one could implant their own Golden Core into his junior sister’s body, even if it was placed inside her, it wouldn’t be able to replace her own Golden Core.
But now, this person’s Exotic Pill possessed such unique effects.
The effects of the Exotic Pill were even stronger than the power he intended to inject into his junior sister’s body!
What kind of Exotic Pill had this man released?
A surprised thought crossed Fang Tuojie’s mind, and he quickly shook his head and said, “There’s no need.
I can feel the effects of your Exotic Pill.
Thank you for your help on the way.
Let this pill temporarily remain inside my junior sister’s body.”
As he spoke, he quickly reached out and grabbed a bottle of Pills from a wooden shelf in the Void, flipped open Yu Tuoyu’s mouth, and stuffed the Pills into his junior sister’s mouth.
Although the Exotic Pill did seem to nourish his junior sister’s body, after all, it was not her own Golden Core.
It merely sustained her life, preventing her from dying.
To truly save her, he needed to use Pills.
