Capítulo 1559: Chapter 1524: Serving Brother Well_2
Song Xiaodong said, “With the Dragon Gate’s revival, having a treasury would certainly make things easier, but even without it, we must still aim for revival. Sometimes achieving things through our own efforts brings a greater sense of accomplishment.”
Qi Lanqin nodded and said, “We can’t pin all our hopes on the Dragon Gate Treasury, otherwise we could lose our drive.”
Song Xiaodong immediately praised, “Lanqin is right, the more difficult things are, the more they stimulate human potential. No matter how big the challenge, we must forge ahead and not retreat.”
Feng Kexin blinked and said, “Since you think that way, brother, why don’t we just not go after the Dragon Gate Treasury, so that we don’t have to endure it.”
Qi Lanqin blushed and said teasingly, “Kexin, that’s not possible. If there’s hope, we naturally still have to strive for it.”
Feng Kexin pouted and said, “But who knows when it will end? Every time I see you getting close with the other sisters-in-law, I’m driven crazy with anxiety.”
Song Xiaodong hugged the two of them and said, “One year! If I haven’t found the fourth princess within a year, then I won’t look anymore.”
Feng Kexin’s eyes lit up and she said, “Okay, okay, for those words of yours, brother, it’s worth me serving you once more. Lanqin, let’s go.”
Chapter 1525
Although the Dragon Gate’s people were gathered, Song Xiaodong didn’t have everyone congregate together. They were still spread out, cultivating the strength of the warriors, and developing their respective forces.
What Song Xiaodong needed now was recognition, so that when they were summoned, they would appear in a timely manner. This goal had basically been achieved, and that was enough.
In the following days, Dragon Gate members gradually sent over several advanced medicines.
This allowed Song Xiaodong’s grand plan of refining medicine to finally be realized.
After cautiously working for several days, Song Xiaodong finally succeeded in creating twelve truly top-quality elixirs.
This was the highest effect mentioned in Elder Ding’s book.
However, Song Xiaodong did not consume them. Since having Innate True Qi, he was not keen on gaining strength through medication.
He could sense that the Qi enhanced by these drugs was only ordinary Qi, beneficial for those with Second Stage True Qi or Three Meridians True Qi.
But it should not enhance Innate True Qi. Song Xiaodong now focused more on purifying the Qi within his body, rather than accumulating more impure Qi.
He called Song Hu, Dragon Nine, and Su Zhentian over, giving each one an elixir.
After taking them, the three immediately experienced a significant increase in strength. Su Zhentian and Dragon Nine directly broke through to Great Perfection, having a Second Stage True Qi within them.
Song Hu originally had two meridians of Qi, and now he was close to reaching Second Stage True Qi Great Perfection.
All three were immensely grateful to Song Xiaodong.
Additionally, Song Xiaodong refined some lower-grade medicines. These could be given to his family, and although the effect wasn’t optimal, it still provided some improvement, strengthening their bodies and offering a form of self-defense in unexpected situations.
Finally, Song Xiaodong specially refined a pill for Lu Yaobing.
Lu Yaobing was different from the others; her Qi followed the same lineage as Song Xiaodong’s. The elixir Song Xiaodong refined for her had the strongest effect upon consumption.
Looking at the pill in her hand, a rosy blush appeared on Lu Yaobing’s face as she softly said to Song Xiaodong, “Master, I’m going to take it, you’ll have to protect me.”
Song Xiaodong said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side the whole time. After taking this, your strength should see a significant increase.”
Lu Yaobing nodded vigorously, then swallowed the pill and sat down cross-legged.
The effects of the medicine took hold quickly, Lu Yaobing’s exposed skin turned redder, and sweat continuously dripped from her forehead.
Song Xiaodong knew this was a normal reaction to the medication, so he wasn’t worried. However, when Lu Yaobing opened her eyes, Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but smile wryly; she was once again unable to control her desires, as had happened several times before.
Song Xiaodong couldn’t understand why Lu Yaobing reacted this way, but in any case, it wasn’t a difficult issue to resolve, and letting her vent sufficed.
Lu Yaobing nestled into Song Xiaodong’s arms, continuously moving. Song Xiaodong straightforwardly held her tight, beginning to assist her, reasoning it was better to be direct rather than coy.
This time, Lu Yaobing’s reaction was even stronger than before; she wasn’t content with just being like before, insistent on removing clothes and slipping her hand into Song Xiaodong’s clothing.
Song Xiaodong found it amusing but couldn’t stop her; as long as it didn’t go all the way, that was fine.
After more than half an hour, Lu Yaobing finally calmed down.
Song Xiaodong pulled a blanket over her and was about to get up when Lu Yaobing suddenly held onto him.
“Yao Bing, has the medicine’s effect not worn off?” Song Xiaodong asked.
Lu Yaobing blushed, burying her head in Song Xiaodong’s neck and said, “Master… I just… I just want to hold you a bit longer.”
