CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 355: THE METHOD TO HEAL THE DOUBLE-WINGED DEMON TIGER

After chatting with his parents for a while, Chu Chen mentioned that he planned to visit Elder Wu.

With their approval, Chu Chen went to find Elder Li in the area where the Cyan Dragon Daoist School was located.

At this moment, Elder Li’s condition seemed dire, and the injuries on the Frosty Snow Leopard were severe, with dozens of wounds of various sizes, some deep enough to reveal bone, and its internal organs were critically damaged.

For such injuries, ordinary Healing Element Guardian Beasts were rendered powerless; even if it could recover in the future, hidden injuries might remain.

Upon seeing Chu Chen, Elder Li immediately smiled and greeted, "Chu the Kid, are you alright?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and replied, "I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Elder Li."

"Haha, it’s good that you’re alright. You’re truly something else. It’s only been half a year, and you’ve reached the Monarch Level. Knowing you, I feel my life hasn’t been in vain."

Hearing this, Chu Chen quickly smiled and responded, "You’re too kind. I have a Healing Pill here for you, it should be quite beneficial for the injuries of the Frosty Snow Leopard."

Upon hearing this, Elder Li waved his hand and said, "Its injuries are not a major issue, you should keep it for yourself. Anyway, there won’t be any battles here in the short term."

Hearing this, Chu Chen shook his head and said, "This is my filial respect for you, please accept it. I have more." With that, he directly handed it to him.

Upon seeing this, Elder Li looked at the critically injured Frosty Snow Leopard, then at the wooden box in his hand. He patted Chu Chen’s shoulder with a smile and said, "Very well, I’ll accept this pill and remember this kindness."

"No need for formalities, quickly administer it to the Frosty Snow Leopard. The longer you delay, the easier it is for hidden injuries to remain."

Upon hearing this, Elder Li stopped being polite. He quickly opened the wooden box and discovered that the pill inside had six pill patterns.

"Is this a Sixth-Grade Healing Pill?" Elder Li exclaimed.

Chu Chen, hearing this, immediately snatched the pill back and promptly fed it into the Frosty Snow Leopard’s mouth.

Seeing this, Elder Li was taken aback and looked at Chu Chen, complaining, "That’s a Sixth-Grade Elixir! What should we do now?"

Initially, Elder Li thought that the pill Chu Chen was giving could be at most a Fifth-Grade one. Although a Fifth-Grade Elixir was rare, it could still be bought at a cost.

But a Sixth-Grade Elixir was extremely rare, such precious items circulated only among the higher-ups of the Alliance, even money couldn’t easily buy them.

"I still have more, rest assured and accept it. I just heard about Elder Wu’s situation from the City Lord. Shall we go see how he’s doing together?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Li sighed, "I’ve been competing with that old guy all my life, who would’ve thought..."

And with that, he stopped speaking, taking a deep sigh before continuing, "Come on, let’s go see him." He then put away the Frosty Snow Leopard.

After taking the Sixth-Grade Healing Pill, the Frosty Snow Leopard’s injuries would heal quickly. There was no need to worry too much; it just needed some peace and rest.

Chu Chen left Lei Yao and Nirvana there to continue their cultivation, as the battlefield in the east of the city provided the most blood and souls, and it would be a waste not to absorb and utilize them properly.

As they walked, Elder Li told Chu Chen all about Elder Wu’s situation.

The Winged Demon Tiger suffered severe injuries decades ago during a city defense battle. Although its injuries healed later, it was left with hidden wounds, hindering its progress over the years. Otherwise, with its Epic Level quality, it likely would have broken through to King Level by now.

In the last city defense battle, the old wounds of the Winged Demon Tiger relapsed, and its condition became extremely severe. If not completely cured, the Winged Demon Tiger’s strength would not only regress but also risk death.

Unknowingly, they arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, and with the token given by Wang Haichuan, no one stopped them.

Soon, following his memories, Chu Chen reached the location of the treasury.

He saw Elder Wu lying in a rocking chair sipping some wine, with a large tiger lying beside him.

Elder Wu seemed carefree, but the worry and sadness in his eyes betrayed him.

Elder Wu gently rubbed the head of the Double-Winged Demon Tiger and said softly, "Hang in there, old buddy, I will figure out a way to save you."

The Double-Winged Demon Tiger seemed to understand and let out a low whimper.

At this point, Elder Li walked over quickly, laughing, "Haha, it was gratifying, today I slew three Monarch Level Star Beasts."

Only then did Elder Wu notice them.

"Get out of here, old man, stop trying to irritate me. Were it not for Chu the Kid, Celestial Star City would have turned into a sea of desolation already." Elder Wu said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen naturally replied with some courtesy.

"Chu the Kid, come over here, let me see how your strength has grown." Elder Wu said with a smile.

Chu Chen hurried over upon hearing this.

After a brief observation, Elder Wu sighed and said, "I never expected that in half a year, your strength would have increased to such an extent. Truly a peerless genius, excellent, excellent."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Elder Wu, Chu Chen went to examine the Double-Winged Demon Tiger’s condition.

A few moments later, Chu Chen frowned, for the Double-Winged Demon Tiger’s condition was worse than he had imagined.

A mysterious fire poison resided within it, a condition that could not possibly be cured under Celestial Star City’s current circumstances. The fire poison had been eroding it for decades, already infiltrating its marrow. Even a Sixth-Grade Healing Pill couldn’t completely eradicate it.

"Chu the Kid, don’t bother, I am fully aware of its condition."

Chu Chen shook his head hearing this and said, "Elder Wu, I do have a method you might want to try."

Upon hearing this, Elder Wu stood up abruptly and grabbed Chu Chen’s hand, his voice trembling, "Are you serious?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I am, though I can’t guarantee success."

Elder Wu quickly pursued, "What method, what’s the success rate?"

"The fire poison has taken hold, the only way to fully remove it is to let it evolve towards the Fire Attribute. There is about a fifty percent success rate; if unsuccessful, the Double-Winged Demon Tiger’s condition may worsen." Chu Chen said sternly.

Elder Wu plunged into contemplation; a fifty percent success rate wasn’t little to him, but when it concerned the Double-Winged Demon Tiger’s life, he had to be cautious.

Elder Li was surprised to hear this and asked, "Do you have the Evolution Formula for the Double-Winged Demon Tiger?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "I happened to obtain it at an auction."

This was naturally a tale Chu Chen concocted to deceive Elder Li.

Moments later, Elder Wu had yet to decide; instead, Elder Li became impatient.

"A fifty percent chance is plenty. Given the Double-Winged Demon Tiger’s condition, how long can it hold on? Now that there is a chance for a complete cure, what’s there to hesitate about?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Wu finally made a decision, speaking gravely to Chu Chen, "Very well, treat it as a last-ditch effort, I’m entrusting everything to you. Give it your best shot, success would be ideal, but if not, it’s just fate."
