Chapter 559: Chapter 532: Pill

"Pfft!"

It was only after Andy left that Li Chen spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood once again.

Perhaps his strength was indeed on par with Andy, or even stronger, but Andy’s Red Moon was too peculiar.

Even he did not want to be touched by that thing.

This restraint certainly affected Li Chen to some extent.

From his several encounters with Andy, Li Chen realized that if Andy did not have Red Moon, he would likely be able to kill him in the shortest time possible.

However, unfortunately, there were no ifs.

"You, what’s wrong with you?"

At that moment, An Xiu, who had been hiding in the background, finally ran out and said anxiously, looking at the blood-spitting Li Chen.

"It’s nothing, just a minor injury." Li Chen said with a smile, shaking his head: "It’s not a big deal."

"A minor injury?" An Xiu looked at Li Chen and said with a roll of her eyes: "You’re vomiting blood like this, and yet you say it’s a minor injury?"

"Come on, don’t be stubborn," An Xiu said to Li Chen, "My family’s village is not far from here. Why don’t you follow me there to rest and heal your injuries?"

At her words, Li Chen thought for a moment and then nodded his head.

His purpose here was originally to investigate news about Miao Chengda.

Clearly, it was virtually impossible to uncover anything on his own, so it was an excellent opportunity to accompany An Xiu to her village and inquire about news there.

After arriving at the village with An Xiu, Li Chen was somewhat surprised to find that An Xiu’s identity seemed to be not that simple.

The village was large; although it looked a bit crude, its appearance still conveyed a grand impression.

However, the people of the village all bowed respectfully upon seeing An Xiu.

After An Xiu had explained that Li Chen had saved her earlier, everyone looked at Li Chen with eyes full of gratitude.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Li Chen pulled aside a young man during a moment to spare, and asked him quietly.

"Um... Brother, don’t you know?"

"What don’t I know?" Li Chen responded, a mix of amusement and frustration in his expression.

"Oh, right, you’re from outside, so it’s normal not to know," the young man nodded, and then adjusted the hat on his head before speaking to Li Chen: "Miss An Xiu is the daughter of our village chief."

"The chief’s daughter?" Li Chen heard this and nodded; it made sense now.

"Furthermore, the development of our village to this scale today, and having its own space in these mountains, is all closely linked to the village chief," the young man said, his face filled with admiration.

It seemed that the people here highly revered their village chief.

Li Chen silently nodded and continued to walk deeper into the village with An Xiu.

As they approached a rare brick-and-tile house, a man in his fifties stepped out from it.

"Xiuxiu, you’re back! I was so worried, dear dad was worried to death!" The man looked at An Xiu with a face full of affection.

"Dad, I’m sorry for sneaking out this time and causing trouble for you and everyone," An Xiu spoke softly.

At this moment, the man finally turned to look at Li Chen, "So you’re the friend who saved my daughter, right? Hello, my name is An Cheng, I am the leader of this village. If there’s anything you need, feel free to ask."

Upon hearing the man’s decisive voice, without any hesitation, Li Chen was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and smiled lightly, "Chief An Cheng, you’re too kind. I don’t have any other requests; I just want to find a place to rest for a while."

"This..." Li Chen’s response made An Cheng somewhat embarrassed.

Originally, he just wanted to test Li Chen. After all, Li Chen’s origins were unclear, and although he had saved his daughter, he still wanted to probe Li Chen’s background.

But unexpectedly, Li Chen did not engage.

This left him feeling a bit stuck.

"Father, Li Chen is injured. He coughed up a lot of blood earlier," An Xiu whispered to An Cheng.

"Injured?" Only then did An Cheng look towards Li Chen, his brows slightly furrowed.

After hesitating for a moment, An Cheng finally arranged a place for Li Chen to rest.

Li Chen didn’t mind and immediately took a break, continuously using his True Qi to heal his body.

For him, now that he knew Andy was in this mountain forest, he couldn’t afford to be careless, and maintaining his peak state was the best strategy.

However, judging from his current injuries, he expected he would need several days of good care.

"Here!"

Just as Li Chen was about to begin his cultivation, An Cheng suddenly knocked on the door, entered without another word, and handed Li Chen a bottle.

"What is this?" Li Chen looked curiously at the medicine bottle in his hand, his expression somewhat odd.

This old man, he wouldn’t just be handing me something random, would he?

"This is a kind of ancestral pill from my family," An Cheng responded with a smile when he heard Li Chen’s question, "And moreover, this pill was refined in the ancestral hall using a special treasure. It has a very peculiar efficacy for healing wounds."

"Truly that special?" Li Chen looked very interested.

Li Chen didn’t want to hurt An Cheng’s pride, but since the other party was so confident, Li Chen decided to give it a try and swallowed the pill from the bottle.

However, deep down, he didn’t hold much hope for the pill.

Yet, when the pill entered his abdomen, Li Chen felt something was wrong.

A surge of heat, even more potent than the decoction he had previously made in the valley, suddenly burst forth from within his abdomen.

Previously, as his body was in its prime state, the potency merely boosted some of his strength and wasn’t too crucial for his body.

But this pill, he swallowed while he was injured.

The rolling potency was not only continuously healing the wounds on Li Chen’s body but also transforming into streams of warmth, constantly promoting Li Chen’s strength.

In just a short moment, Li Chen felt almost fully recovered.

However, the potency didn’t cease there; it kept transforming into strands of hot energy within Li Chen’s body, completely merging with him.

"This pill, could it actually..."

Li Chen was astonished to discover that this pill was even more potent than the decoctions he had made from spiritual medicines. In just a short while, not only had it healed his wounds, but it had also enhanced his strength considerably.

Turning his head to look at the now empty medicine bottle in his hand, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth from Li Chen’s eyes.
