Jian Ruyan looked at the changing expressions on Mu Jinyu's face. The drop of green liquid he controlled and floated in midair slowly flew towards him, startling him.
"What are you doing? You wouldn't really eat it, right?"
Mu Jinyu explained, "It's fine, I'll try it out. Anyway, my body is quite special, and I'm not afraid of toxins. Besides, don't you notice that this green liquid has a strong life force, though it is different from my life source energy?"
He then laughed, "Maybe after eating it, I'll recover from the weakness caused by the depletion of essence blood."
The last sentence was somewhat teasing, clearly showing he didn't believe his own words.
However, Jian Ruyan was reminded of Mu Jinyu's special physique and began to anticipate the effects of the green liquid.
She started hoping that after Mu Jinyu consumed this strange green liquid, his body would truly return to normal.
If that were the case, he would have more confidence in the upcoming battle with Nameless.
Thinking this, Jian Ruyan no longer stopped him and said, "Alright, go ahead and try it. But don't consume too much at once, one drop should be enough."
"Mm."
Mu Jinyu had the same thought, which is why he only separated one drop of green liquid. If he swallowed an entire cluster without any effect, and later found out that the green liquid was a rare forging material, he would regret it immensely.
Then, Mu Jinyu continued to control the green liquid, floating it over, then opened his mouth and swallowed it.
"Boom!"
As soon as the green liquid entered his mouth, it instantly transformed into a group of immense energy. Mu Jinyu felt a surge of overwhelming life force and Qi-blood power rushing down his throat into his stomach, then flooding into his limbs.
This made him feel warm and comfortable all over, like drinking a big bowl of ginger soup when he had a cold, his body no longer felt so weak and powerless.
'It really works?' Mu Jinyu was shocked and pleasantly surprised.
At this moment, Mu Jinyu began to sense, as the surging Qi-blood power flooded within him like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, his depleted essence blood seemed to have been replenished ahead of time.
However, after being replenished, the Qi-blood power and life force showed no signs of stopping, still constantly washing over him.
It seemed to be on the verge of bursting him apart!
"This..."
Mu Jinyu had planned to tell Jian Ruyan that the green liquid extracted from the Sacred Wood Branch was effective, but upon feeling the changes, he didn't have the time to say anything.
He immediately closed his eyes tightly and began cultivating using the Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art.
"Hmm?!"
Jian Ruyan wanted to ask Mu Jinyu how he felt but seeing Mu Jinyu's reaction, her face changed slightly.
She worried that the green liquid was toxic and that Mu Jinyu's reaction seemed like he couldn't handle it.
Jian Ruyan suddenly became anxious, wanting to help Mu Jinyu but not knowing how.
She then slapped her forehead, thinking to find Xie Chenkun and others to check on Mu Jinyu.
Looking back at Mu Jinyu, Jian Ruyan paused; she noticed his complexion had turned from pale to rosy, and his aura was continuously rising.
If Mu Jinyu's original Ninth Layer Divine Transformation Realm was in the Early Ninth Layer Stage, then he was now steadily moving towards the Mid Ninth Layer Stage...
"This..."
Seeing Mu Jinyu's transformation, Jian Ruyan knew that the green liquid was indeed effective, not only restoring his weakened body but also enhancing his strength.
She was genuinely happy for Mu Jinyu.
Time slowly passed.
Mu Jinyu's strength solidified at the Mid Ninth Layer Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, with the potential to soon reach the Later Stage.
An hour had now passed.
The originally damaged square had returned to its original state.
The Four Sects Martial Meeting, the final battle between Mu Jinyu and Nameless, was about to begin!
"Hoo..."
Just as Jian Ruyan was contemplating whether to interrupt Mu Jinyu's cultivation, he suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of foul air.
"You're awake? How do you feel now?"
Seeing Mu Jinyu wake up, Jian Ruyan was no longer so tense and quickly asked.
Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "Great, never felt better..."
He felt both fortunate and scared, grateful that he only tried a drop of the green liquid. Even that small amount had almost overwhelmed him.
If he had taken the whole cluster at once, he might not have survived, potentially dying instantly.
"Is it almost time?"
Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, casting off the remnants of fear; ultimately, he came through fine and his strength had further improved, approaching the Fanxu Realm.
Jian Ruyan was about to speak when footsteps approached.
Several disciples of the Heavenly Sword Faction hurried over, panting, "Senior Brother Mu, the square and combat platform are ready, the Sect Leader asks you to prepare."
"Alright, understood."
Mu Jinyu smiled and nodded at them, then walked towards the square with Jian Ruyan.
The disciples watched Mu Jinyu leave, one puzzling, "Oh, why does Senior Brother Mu look much better? He seems fine."
"Maybe Senior Brother Mu wasn't seriously hurt? Just tired earlier, now rested?"
"So the Sect Leader and others might have misjudged, Senior Brother Mu still has a chance against Nameless?"
"Hmm, possibly. Let's go watch too..."
With that, they quickly followed Mu Jinyu and Jian Ruyan.
Soon enough.
Mu Jinyu and Jian Ruyan arrived at the restored square, standing by Xie Chenkun, nodding slightly, "Sect Leader."
"Oh, your complexion is good now?"
Xie Chenkun's furrowed brow relaxed seeing Mu Jinyu's rosy face, smiling.
"Mm..." Mu Jinyu hesitated, and with many people around, decided not to mention the green liquid to Xie Chenkun.
Zhou Taiping then shouted, "Alright, you've rested enough, can we start Mu Jinyu's fight with Nameless now!"
"Hmph."
Xie Chenkun's face darkened hearing Zhou Taiping's urge, a cold snort, ignoring him, and turning to Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu nodded slightly to Xie Chenkun, "Sect Leader, I'll head up."
"Do your best, don't push yourself too hard."
Not wanting to stress Mu Jinyu, unclear of his now-recovered strength, Xie Chenkun comforted him.
Mu Jinyu didn't respond, stepping towards the platform where Nameless waited.
Zhou Taiping and Nameless finished talking, slowly stepping off the platform, seeing Mu Jinyu, curled his lips mockingly.
Mu Jinyu's face was indifferent, inwardly sneering.
Thinking Zhou Taiping arrogant and foolish, giving him another hour to rest.
Otherwise, the final battle with Nameless, he might not have stood a chance against Nameless.
