Chapter 596: Reconstruction!
Reconstruction! . . .
The king\'s honesty was undeniable. He had accepted his fate, resigned to his condition, and found himself in a state of hopelessness.
In a hushed tone, Cha Eun Xiao responded, "Medicines have the power to heal diseases. There is no such thing as an incurable ailment in the world. Before making any judgments, I suggest you consume this dan bead."
He then presented the king with a jade bottle.
Accepting the bottle, the king gazed upon the fog swirling inside, within which a brilliantly illuminated dan bead rested serenely.
"A Supreme Dan bead..." the king murmured bitterly. "It\'s a remarkable dan bead, but I doubt it can be of any assistance to me. Although it might lift my spirits... Thank you, Monarch."
Without hesitation, he uncorked the bottle and retrieved the dan bead, swallowing it without inspecting it further.
"Goodbye!" The king departed with brisk strides.
However, after taking a few steps, he abruptly halted, his expression one of astonishment.
A wave of warmth surged through his body, providing an extraordinarily pleasant sensation. As it flowed through him, the injuries that no medicine had been able to cure began to fade, and his long-dry internal organs were rejuvenated and fortified.
It all occurred within an instant.
Yet, during that brief moment, he was acutely aware of every change occurring within his body.
The life essence that had previously been depleted was now rapidly replenishing and intensifying.
His physical condition exceeded that of his youth, and he felt more robust than ever before.
As a cultivator of considerable strength, the king realized that the dan bead he had just ingested had accomplished the impossible. It had healed ailments that had resisted all other treatments.
He was overwhelmed with joy, which eclipsed any previous feelings of sorrow and shame.
The efficacy of the dan bead was palpable within him, and he sensed his health continuously improving.
It felt as though he could enjoy another thirty years of life in this revitalized body.
"What kind of Supreme Dan is this? It\'s truly remarkable!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling. "What is this dan, and how..."
Cha Eun Xiao responded coolly, "It\'s simply a Supreme Dan. I\'m glad you\'re feeling better. There\'s no need for you to know more about it; it\'s hardly worth mentioning. Just consider it a small favor."
While it was indeed a Supreme Dan bead, it was not an ordinary one; it was a Supreme Reconstruction Dan.
This particular dan was renowned throughout the world as a lower-level version of the Nine-Rolled Golden Dan, which was itself only slightly inferior to the Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan. The Supreme Reconstruction Dan was highly valued, as it could effectively address various physical injuries, cultivation setbacks, soul deficiencies, and even more severe maladies. However, it was primarily useful for individuals below the Dream Origin Stage. Those at higher cultivation stages generally had no use for it, which explained why it was not highly sought after by prominent cultivators.
Nevertheless, Cha Eun Xiao knew that dan beads of such high caliber could pose a danger. If individuals lacking sufficient strength were to ingest them, their bodies might succumb to the overwhelming energy, resulting in a fatal explosion. Reconstruction Dan, however, was a unique exception to this rule. It was crafted from a vast array of rare materials, making its production an intricate and demanding process. Consequently, most skilled alchemists refrained from producing it on a large scale. But recently, in a fit of irrationality, Brother Egg had created a substantial quantity of Reconstruction Dan beads. He had already given some to Bing-Er, and now he was providing them to the king, who was both ailing and not a particularly robust cultivator, thus rendering him ill-suited for other varieties of supreme dan.
In truth, the king was teetering on the brink of death, and it was Reconstruction Dan that offered the best chance of rejuvenation.
As anticipated, the dan bead wrought a miraculous transformation in the king\'s health, akin to a rebirth.
After a moment of silence, the king murmured his gratitude, "Thank you."
Cha Eun Xiao smiled and replied, "No thanks are needed. You and I are destined never to cross paths in this lifetime. Accept this as a parting gift from me."
With a wistful smile, the king concurred, "Indeed, we shall likely never meet again in this life."
Turning away, he concluded with a solemn tone, "Feng Monarch, take care. We may never meet again, but I shall forever be in your debt."
"I promise," Cha Eun Xiao assured him. "Wherever you may venture, as long as Ling-Bao Hall continues to follow your guidance, striving to benefit the people, the Kingdom of Chen will remain a steadfast ally in this world."
And with that, the king exited with a vigor and presence befitting a sovereign.
Cha Eun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The encounter had not transpired as he had initially envisioned, but he was nonetheless relieved by the outcome.
The impending fall of the Crown Prince lingered in Cha Eun Xiao\'s thoughts. He couldn\'t help but reflect on the day when the Crown Prince had framed him, a scenario that had involved a Sky Origin Stage cultivator named Guan Zhengwen.
"It\'s time to address past grievances," he mused. "If I don\'t, I might eventually forget about it. I didn\'t wish for the foolish king to suffer, and that\'s why I brought up the tale of that wretched prince. A man of honor might take up to ten years for revenge. Well, I don\'t consider myself a man of honor, and I\'m in no mood to wait a decade." He offered a cold and calculating smile.
