Chapter 2079
The slight warmth that had just arisen from the spiritual liquid instantly froze, replaced by overwhelming shame and anger.
Xia Jiuyou's cheeks flushed red as she shouted with all her might, "You...you Chen Xuan! You despicable person! You bastard! Where are you looking!"
"Cough cough cough..." Caught red-handed, Chen Xuan immediately put away his lewd expression, straightened his back and put on a sanctimonious look, "I just... admired the fairy's fairy-like demeanor, I had no other intentions."
He carried the long, severed leg closer, and without hesitation, he gathered gentle immortal energy at his fingertips and carefully aligned the broken ends. The moment their bodies were joined, he instinctively reached for the jade bottle of Creation Elixir on the ground.
"No need to trouble you, I can do it myself," Xia Jiuyou said hurriedly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.
She was determined to treasure this precious bottle and would never use such a valuable creation for nothing more than healing—moreover, she also had a top-grade holy medicine hidden in her storage bracelet, which, although not as miraculous as the Creation Elixir, was enough to reconnect her body.
In fact, if it weren't for that sip of spiritual liquid that saved her life, she wouldn't even have had the chance to use her sacred medicine.
Chen Xuan's hand froze in mid-air, his face instantly darkening. He angrily tossed the jade bottle to Xia Jiuyou, saying irritably, "You're so spoiled! You're like a dog biting Lü Dongbin—you don't appreciate kindness! Do it yourself!"
"You...you turn your back, don't peek!" Xia Jiuyou caught the jade bottle and held it tightly in her hand, gritting her teeth as she said, "I need to take off my damaged robes and apply medicine to heal my wounds."
"And who cares to look?" Chen Xuan rolled his eyes, turned around decisively, and took out the storage magic treasures of San Guang, Bai Rong, and You Ruo.
His fingertips flashed with spiritual light as he refined and examined each item one by one. His impatience was gradually replaced by ecstasy—these three were indeed preparing to refine a divine weapon of the Dao, and their storage magic treasures contained a vast amount of rare materials!
One piece of seven-colored immortal gold, two ethereal star stones gleaming with a cold, eerie starlight, six heavy forging heaven divine stones, and two bottles of clear, translucent Origin Heaven Divine Water with dragon patterns visible beneath.
The Creation Crystal among them was only one level lower than the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold, which was a pleasant surprise.
"What a great harvest!" Chen Xuan played with the seven-colored immortal gold in his palm, grinning from ear to ear. "With these materials, it's enough to forge the foundation of a supreme imperial weapon for the Beiming Sword!" He was so immersed in the joy of his harvest that he didn't even notice Xia Jiuyou behind him.
After a short while, a weak but clear voice came from behind: "No matter what, I thank Fellow Daoist Chen Xuan for saving my life."
Chen Xuan suppressed his smile and turned around, only to see that Xia Jiuyou had changed into a pure white silk robe.
The protective ornaments activated during the previous battle had long been destroyed. Without those elaborate decorations, she, dressed in plain clothes, lost some of her aloofness and gained a touch of fragile beauty.
Xia Jiuyou
However, her face was still as pale as paper, and her breathing was unsteady when she spoke, clearly indicating that her injuries had not yet healed.
"What's going on?" Chen Xuan frowned slightly, his tone filled with doubt. "Logically speaking, after refining my sacred medicine, even if you can't recover seven or eight tenths of your strength, you should be completely healed. Why are you still in this half-dead state?"
Xia Jiuyou remained outwardly calm, but her heart was pounding wildly. She subconsciously took a half step back, her hands hanging at her sides tightly gripping the jade bottle storage ring that was concealing the contents.
Fearing that Chen Xuan would notice something amiss, she quickly explained, "I had just suffered several major battles and was seriously injured. It is already a great fortune that I was able to survive thanks to your holy medicine."
Chen Xuan glanced at her but didn't delve into it further.
A bottle of innate spiritual liquid was exchanged for several core materials that laid the foundation for an imperial weapon. No matter how you look at it, this deal was worthwhile.
But Xia Jiuyou's guarded attitude still made him uncomfortable—he had saved someone and given away his treasure, yet instead of bowing to express his gratitude, it was as if he was afraid Xia Jiuyou would do something wrong again.
"You, come here." Chen Xuan scratched his head, pointed at her, and said in a commanding tone that left no room for argument.
