Chapter 590 - 169: Who is Crazier: Gifted the Body Tempering Holy Medicine

"It is best to take this with Cold Pool Water to suppress the fire poison within the elixir." "Remember this well! You absolutely must not get greedy and rush your progress, or your life will be in grave danger!" ’Divide one elixir into twenty portions?’ ’And only take it twice a month?’ Beside him, Zhao Qingyan and Qin Fang were aghast. Could the elixir’s effects truly be so terrifyingly potent? Didn’t that mean these three elixirs would be enough to last Chu Fan for several years? However, Chu Fan, who kept his head bowed and repeatedly agreed, was already ecstatic! ’Fierce and domineering effects?’ ’This is exactly the kind of potent Body Tempering Elixir I’ve been looking for!’ The ordinary Body Tempering Elixirs no longer had much of a strengthening effect on his Vajra Undying Body. He had just been worrying about finding energy violent and powerful enough to break through to the next Realm of his Vajra Undying Body! "Yes, I will heed the Commandery Princess’s warning and dare not act recklessly." Chu Fan raised his head, his face a picture of simple honesty, and nodded emphatically. ’Commandery Princess, you’re actually a pretty nice person...’ Chu Fan added silently in his heart. Seeing that the matter was concluded, Princess Zhaohua said no more. She gave Chu Fan one last, deep look. Her figure flickered, and with a leap as light as a falling leaf, she instantly soared hundreds of feet into the sky. "SCREEE—" A clear, resounding crane’s cry suddenly echoed through the heavens. From within the thick clouds, a massive white crane appeared, breaking through with a beat of its wings. Its wingspan stretched dozens of feet wide, its feathers immaculately white, and its presence majestic beyond compare. It steadily caught the descending Princess Zhaohua, and with a gentle flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, flying toward Qing Province City. From a distance, beneath the blue sky and white clouds, the woman and the crane were a picturesque sight, her robes fluttering in the wind. It was truly like a scene from a celestial painting, beautiful beyond description. And behind the white crane, a faint trail of white mist lingered, seemingly stirred up by the airflow from its high-speed flight, adding a touch of mystery and ethereal grace. On the ground, Zhao Qingyan tilted her head back, watching the scene, entranced. Her eyes sparkled with envy as she couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. "So beautiful... Truly an ethereal aura, untouched by the mortal world." "If I could have a white crane like that as a mount one day, I’d be completely content." At that moment, Chu Fan, who had been looking down and fiddling with the jade bottle in his hand, heard her and glanced up at the sky. His gaze was exceptionally sharp. He stared intently at the white crane’s tail for a moment, then turned to the mesmerized Zhao Qingyan with a strange expression. "Um..." Chu Fan pointed a finger at the wisp of mist in the sky that Zhao Qingyan had mistaken for an "ethereal aura" and said with all sincerity, "That’s not an ethereal aura..." "That’s the white crane taking a shit." "..." As soon as he said it, the world seemed to plunge into dead silence. The mesmerized expression on Zhao Qingyan’s face froze instantly. The beautiful fantasy in her heart shattered like exquisite glass. Qin Fang had just been about to chime in with his own "truly beautiful beyond description," but now his mouth hung wide open. He looked utterly stumped, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. And high in the sky, far away... Princess Zhaohua, who was standing on the crane’s back and trying her best to maintain a cool and aloof posture as she rode the wind, suddenly swayed. She stumbled and nearly fell ungracefully from hundreds of feet in the air! She forced herself to regain her balance, spun around, and from a great distance, shot a fierce glare at Chu Fan with her cold eyes. ’That guy... Does he only open his mouth to piss people off?!’ If she weren’t already so far away, she would have turned right back around and given him another taste of her sword! On the ground, Chu Fan clearly felt the chilling killing intent from high above. He spread his hands innocently, a baffled look on his face. "Did I say something wrong?" He looked at the stunned Zhao Qingyan beside him and argued, very seriously and with a great thirst for knowledge, "But it’s true." "Think about it. Birds have short rectums. They excrete while flying to reduce their weight so they can fly faster and higher." "It’s common knowledge. That really is the white crane taking a shit." "..." Zhao Qingyan stood there, her world thrown into chaos. Just then, Chu Fan suddenly turned and hurried back to the recent battlefield. He gathered up every last piece of the Demon Puppet’s White Bone that he had previously shattered, carefully placing them into his Sumeru Ring. Qin Fang was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Chu Fan, why are you collecting those bone fragments? They’re useless." Without turning his head, Chu Fan replied, "I’m taking them back for Mo Yunzi. She can use them to upgrade her Demon Puppet." Qin Fang and Zhao Qingyan: "..." Qin Fang’s mouth twitched slightly as he subconsciously scanned their surroundings. He lowered his voice and said, "We shouldn’t stay here any longer. Let’s leave quickly before more trouble starts." ... 「Five hundred li south of Qing Province City.」 This place was a desolate wilderness, as if abandoned by time, shrouded in clouds and mist year-round, and overrun with venomous creatures and fierce beasts. Deep within a secluded valley, hidden by layers of vines and dead branches, was a dark, damp cave. Murky water droplets seeped from the cave walls, dripping steadily onto the cold stone below. The hollow sound echoed endlessly within the cave. A nauseating, putrid stench filled the air—a mixture of corpse qi and the smell of mildew. "Ugh—!" Inside the dim cave, the Ghost Bone Elder sat cross-legged on a black stone. His body trembled violently as he let out a suppressed, painful groan. He snapped his eyes open. His once murky and sinister pupils were now bloodshot, his gaze filled with both shock and rage, as well as an unconcealable weakness.
