487: Chapter 68: Long River Sunset Slash the Void_3 487: Chapter 68: Long River Sunset Slash the Void_3 This brother must be saved.

It’s not about the Skill Book—after all, I’ve already got it, and not giving it wouldn’t affect my comprehension.

The main thing is that Yuan Bai calling me “brother” really got to me.

To think of leaving something behind for me even when facing death, he is definitely a true brother.

Maybe the character is fictional, but the affection is definitely real.

If I were to be petty about it, others might not say anything, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.

“No need to get drunk, we have a long future ahead of us, there will be plenty of opportunities.”

“Sigh, you still want to comfort me, why bother…”

Xiao Jie laughed, “Yuan, you’ve misunderstood me.

Do I look like a person who’s all talk?

There’s a reason behind what I say.

This trip to Canglin State, I killed many demons, met many remarkable people, and even encountered an Immortal, from whom I obtained an Immortal Pill.

I was planning to sell it, but since you can use it, I’ll just give it to you.”

As he spoke, he right-clicked the Life-extending Pill and chose to gift it.

Yuan Bai looked surprised, “What’s this?”

“The Life-extending Pill, eat it and you’ll gain ten more years of life.

Although it can’t grant you immortality, at least you can live carefree for another ten years.

You wouldn’t think ten years is too short, would you?”

Yuan Bai’s voice shook with unexpected joy, “Ten years…

ten years…

that’s not short at all, I haven’t even lived for ten years since birth, if I could live another ten, I’d truly have no regrets in this life.

Brother, are you really giving me this pill?”

“A brotherhood is established, why say more.”

Hearing this, Yuan Bai didn’t waste another word, and swallowed the Immortal Pill in one gulp.

The Immortal Pill was indeed miraculous.

In an instant, the man perked up, his back wasn’t hunched anymore, his complexion flushed with health, and even his withered skin regained its vitality.

“What a pill, what a treasure, brother, you really are my brother.

Ha ha ha ha!”

Yuan Bai laughed out loud, overjoyed and ecstatic, no longer bearing the slightest semblance of a hermit’s grace, but more like the mischievous monkey he was, only short of hopping up and down on a tree.

Xiao Jie felt both comforted and pained by the sight, thinking about the little goal that slipped away, and a sense of regret that he couldn’t quite articulate.

Ah, well, let it be, when I become an Immortal in the future, money will mean nothing.

Besides, selling that trinket wouldn’t have been easy, and could easily have caused trouble; it’s as good as utilized now.

Xiao Jie could only console himself in this way.

“Now that you’re fine, Yuan, I’ll take my leave.”

“What’s the rush?

It’s been so long since we’ve met, and such a joyous occasion too, why not stay here and enjoy life for a few days?”

Xiao Jie thought to himself, you’re not a beauty, what’s there to enjoy.

“Better not, I have urgent matters to attend to.”

“True, what’s good to eat and drink in this ghost place?

Just some sour wild fruits and wine.

Come on, come on, I’ll go with you to Luoyang Town.

Let’s find the best tavern and have a good, drunken time.”

“Yuan, you want to come with me?”

“Why not?

The Saber Skill wouldn’t have been easy for you to master without my guidance.

Now I’ve got nothing else to do; just the right time to give you some pointers.

If you ever run into trouble, I can help you too.”

Xiao Jie’s heart stirred, “Since you’ve said so, Yuan, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.

I do need your help with something serious.

I’ve got a powerful adversary, and sooner or later there will be a showdown.

When that time comes, I’ll call upon all the heroes I can, and brother, I’ll need your help too.”

“Ha ha ha, of course, who dares to mess with my brother?

I alone should be enough.”

“I’m afraid that won’t be enough.

That person is an old acquaintance of the Immortals from Wangliu River, an Ancient cultivator.

Although he’s not an Immortal, he does have Transcendent abilities.”

Yuan Bai was taken aback, “Ah, such a powerful figure?

Then, alone I indeed may not be enough.” Hearing it had to do with Immortals, Yuan Bai immediately regained his composure.

“But there’s no fear.

As long as he’s not an Immortal, with my Saber Skill, I can still make him suffer.

With me around, I won’t let him hurt you, brother.”
