Chapter 8 The Immortal Elixir Fruit!
Chapter 8 The Immortal Elixir Fruit!
"It's alright. Now that you've escaped the sea of suffering, you have the power to protect yourself. Just state the facts according to worldly laws; they won't find anything wrong with that."
Jiang Feng's voice was steady, carrying a calming power, "Well done. You successfully opened the Sea of Bitterness on your first attempt at cultivation. Your talent is even better than I imagined."
"Really?" Jiang Yu's voice was clearly excited, but then became somewhat uncertain. "Brother, this... this cultivation, what exactly is going on? After practicing the technique you gave me, I feel completely different. I can see things clearly, hear things from afar, and I'm incredibly strong... Is this really cultivation?"
"It is spiritual practice."
Jiang Feng affirmed, "You have already entered the first realm of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm—the Sea of Bitterness. This is just the beginning. The Sea of Wheels scroll of the Heavenly Emperor Scripture that I left you is enough for you to cultivate to the Dao Palace Secret Realm. The resources are also in your storage bag. Proceed step by step, and do not be greedy."
"Okay! I got it, bro!"
Jiang Yu agreed enthusiastically, then, remembering something, her tone became excited and eager, "Brother, do you know, I didn't turn off my live stream just now! So many people saw it! Although I turned it off later, the internet is definitely exploding now! So many people are asking me, begging me to teach them! Brother, tell me... can I teach others this?"
Jiang Feng's heart stirred; this was exactly what he wanted to say next.
"Yes," he said decisively. "Xiao Yu, I was just about to discuss this with you. I traveled between two worlds and bound myself to Blue Star, gaining a special ability. On Blue Star, anyone who cultivates the methods I passed down can benefit me by improving their cultivation, helping me to advance, and even... increasing my lifespan."
"What?!" Jiang Yu exclaimed in surprise from the other side, almost jumping up. "It...it can be like this? Sharing cultivation? Increasing lifespan? Brother, then you're not..."
"good."
Jiang Feng spoke up, his tone serious and earnest, "So, Xiao Yu, I need your help. To promote cultivation methods on Blue Star. To let more people embark on this path."
"Everyone...cultivating immortality?"
Jiang Yu was stunned by this grand idea, her heart pounding like a drum.
But when I think of the crazy barrage of comments and gifts in the live stream, and the amazing changes I've personally experienced, an indescribable excitement and sense of mission wells up inside me.
"Yes, but we need to proceed gradually and proceed with caution."
Jiang Feng instructed, "First, teach me the basic principles, methods of perception, and methods of enlightenment from the 'Heavenly Emperor Scripture's' Wheel Sea Chapter, as appropriate. We'll leave the later chapters for later!"
"I see!"
Jiang Yu's mind raced. "Let's start with the Sea of Wheels chapter! I have popularity and attention now, and I'm the best example myself! Brother, don't worry, leave this to me! I'll definitely find a way to get more people to start cultivating!"
Her voice was filled with unprecedented confidence and drive.
This is not only to help my brother, but also for myself.
"Alright." Jiang Feng's voice softened slightly. "Be careful in everything you do. If you're unsure what to do, you can ask me through the jade slip. There are some basic pills and source stones in my storage bag that you can use for cultivation."
"Yes, brother, there's one more thing!"
Jiang Yu suddenly remembered the most important thing, and her tone became urgent, "Mom... Mom is very sick, seriously ill, and needs a lot of money for surgery. That's why I'm working so hard doing live streams. Brother, do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Feng remained silent for a moment.
The emperor's heart, though frozen for millennia, remains as unshakable as ancient ice.
But the words "mother is seriously ill" still felt like an invisible needle, gently piercing the deepest part of the ice, stirring up a faint but real ripple.
No surgery required.
Jiang Feng's voice remained steady, but carried an undeniable air of authority.
"In the storage bag I left you, there is a jade box containing three peaches of immortality. These are the fruits of an elixir of life, which I obtained from some ruins. Although they were not from the original plant and have lost most of their medicinal power, they are still a sacred medicine for mortals, capable of bringing the dead back to life and transforming them completely. Take one and let your mother take it; her chronic illness will be cured, and she will live a long and healthy life without any problem. Moreover, it will be enough to strengthen her body and prevent all diseases."
"Peaches of Immortality?! An elixir of immortality?"
Jiang Yu's voice trembled with extreme joy, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. "Really? Brother! Mom's saved! That's wonderful! That's wonderful! I'm going home right now! I'll give Mom some to eat right away!"
"Go. After you have comforted your parents, then you can begin to teach them about cultivation."
Jiang Feng said.
"Yes! Brother, thank you! I... I didn't expect this... I'm really... so kind!"
Jiang Yu was incoherent, overwhelmed by immense joy.
After ending the call with her brother, Jiang Yu held the still-warm jade slip, standing there, laughing and crying at the same time, and it took her a while to calm down.
My brother is still alive; he's a cultivator.
She herself embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.
She wiped away her tears and was about to hail a taxi home when her phone rang. It was her father calling.
"Hey Dad! I'm on my way back! I have amazing news to tell you and Mom! My brother..."
Jiang Yu couldn't wait to share her joy.
However, on the other end of the phone, her father's voice was unusually hoarse, heavy, and even trembling with a hint of despair, interrupting her:
"Xiaoyu...you, calm down and listen to what Dad has to say. There's something...your mom and I have been keeping from you for a long time..."
Jiang Yu's heart sank inexplicably, her joy overwhelmed by a chill: "Dad? What's wrong? Tell me."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before the father's voice, choked with emotion and seemingly strained, came through:
"Your mother's illness...is not an ordinary serious illness. It's cancer...in its late stage."
"Buzz—!"
Jiang Yu felt a loud bang in her head, and her mind went completely blank.
Cancer...late stage?
Mom...
The immense hope that had just risen because of the peaches of immortality clashed sharply with the cruel reality revealed in her father's words, leaving her frozen in place, her whole body ice-cold.
"Dad..." She opened her mouth, her voice terribly dry, "What...what did you say? Late stage? Impossible...Mom clearly..."
"It's true, Xiaoyu. I've kept all the medical records. I was planning to wait until we had enough money to try a last resort at a major hospital, but..."
The father's voice was filled with helplessness and pain.
Jiang Yu gripped the jade slip tightly in her hand, the warm touch bringing a touch of warmth back to her icy palms.
No, that's not right.
My older brother is here.
There are peaches.
So what if it's late-stage cancer? My brother said it's the fruit of a miracle cure! A miraculous comeback! A complete transformation!
