Chapter 227: Awakening of Ye Tian
The Inner Pill is the foundation for magical beasts to use magic, formed by the gathering of vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. If a Professional's willpower and body can withstand it, consuming a Beast Inner Pill can significantly enhance their strength. Conversely, if a Professional's willpower and body cannot endure the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy contained within the Inner Pill, the only outcome is death from explosive bodily failure.
Having witnessed the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon feeding Ye Huan a Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill, aside from Zuo Yi and two others who were unaware of the Inner Pill's level, Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower felt their hearts leap into their throats. Bai Yulin was even considering confronting the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.
"Don't be impulsive. The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon was hatched by Ye Huan; it surely won't harm him. I think we should just wait and see!"
Sensing Bai Yulin's anxiety, Black Shadow Flower tightly grasped his hand with her pure white fingers, shaking her head to signal him not to act rashly in front of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.
"Wait and see? How can I just wait? If I had known I would have to help Ye Huan bleed so much, I wouldn't have given him that Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill!"
"…"
Black Shadow Flower was taken aback that Bai Yulin was still fixated on the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill. However, after a moment of reflection, she realized that if it weren't for the existence of the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill, Bai Yulin would have already shown great mercy towards Ye Huan; there would be no need to worry about his safety.
As top-tier magical beasts, both Black Shadow Flower and Bai Yulin possessed human emotions. When they saw a treasure, their first instinct was to claim it for themselves. But if they couldn't obtain it, they would become very concerned about its fate. If the treasure could be used well by its possessor, that would be an acceptable outcome; however, if the possessor died, the treasure would vanish with them, which would be terribly unfair.
Turning their attention back to the unconscious Ye Huan in the arena, even Black Shadow Flower felt a strong urgency for Ye Huan to digest the Beast Inner Pill. Otherwise, if Ye Huan's body couldn't withstand the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within the Inner Pill and he perished, that Beast Inner Pill would dissipate into thin air—a tremendous loss.
Sharing the same hope for Ye Huan to wake up quickly, Liu Ruyan and Zuo Yi looked at him with concern beside Black Shadow Flower. Only Hua Tuo appeared most helpless; being the oldest among them, he had to carry Ye Tian on his back while harboring nothing but resentment towards Ye Huan.
However, under everyone's watchful eyes—ten minutes passed, thirty minutes passed, one hour passed, two hours passed… until four and a half hours had gone by— Hua Tuo ultimately lost patience first. He pulled Zuo Yi aside and whispered, "Lord Zuo, counting the time for Young Master hatching the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, two and a half hours have already passed. If Young Master still doesn't wake up, then Head of the Ye Family..."
" Hua Tuo, let me ask you what is needed to save Head of the Ye Family?"
"Of course, we need the dragon saliva from the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon!"
Without hesitation, Hua Tuo quickly answered. However, he was puzzled by Zuo Yi's question; he couldn't understand why Zuo Yi would ask him such an inquiry that sounded as foolish as asking a magician if they knew magic.
Before Hua Tuo could figure out the situation, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on Zuo Yi's face. He even pointed at Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon and then calmly said to Hua Tuo, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since you are a doctor and you said you need the blood of the Holy Dragon, Ye Huan has brought it to you. Now you say you need the dragon saliva from Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, and here it is. Are you not going to start saving someone?"
"I never said I wouldn't save him! But that dragon saliva..."
He didn't continue, as he watched Zuo Yi turn away with a smirk. Hua Tuo suddenly understood Zuo Yi's intention; it seemed he had to fetch the dragon saliva himself!
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, knowing the power of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, Ye Huan dared to say that he didn't want to have anything to do with the guardian beast of Huaxia. But just as Zuo Yi had said, it was a doctor's duty to save lives. With the blood of the Holy Dragon found and now the presence of Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, what else could he do?
Steeling himself, Hua Tuo straightened his back and carried Ye Tian towards where Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon and Ye Huan were located, drawing the attention of almost everyone present.
"Old fellow, let's see if you can still keep Ye Huan out of danger..."
Watching Hua Tuo's actions with a cold smile, Zuo Yi felt delighted inside, though his face remained expressionless and serious. In stark contrast, not far from Zuo Yi, Bai Yulin inexplicably wore a smile and muttered softly, "Old fellow, you're really good at pretending."
Unaware of what those behind him thought, as he got closer to Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, Hua Tuo was still pondering how to persuade it. No matter how hard he racked his brain or exhausted his thoughts, when he reached within a meter of Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, he still couldn't come up with a good way to get it to willingly drop its dragon saliva into Ye Tian's mouth.
Taking another step forward and nearly colliding with Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, Hua Tuo finally stopped and mustered his courage to say, "Respected, handsome, brave, and great Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, could you please save Ye Huan's father, Ye Tian?"
Hearing the voice, the dragon turned its head. Upon seeing Ye Tian behind Hua Tuo, through a special connection from their bloodline and instinctively recognizing him as likely being Ye Huan's father, the dragon curiously leaned closer to sniff at him. It then asked Hua Tuo, "The flattery is decent enough, but I'm a dragon, not a horse. So tell me, what happened to Ye Huan's father?"
"It’s like this..."
Feeling that his flattery had worked somewhat, when facing Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, Hua Tuo dared not lie. He recounted everything in detail about what had happened, listening as the dragon frowned deeply. To it, neither the toxins from two types of Ninth-Level Beasts nor the mysterious figure known as the Mysterious Old Man should pose any threat to Ye Huan. Yet ironically, it was precisely these seemingly insignificant 'small characters' that had led to today’s predicament for Ye Huan, who was now troubled by the impending arrival of the Lingxiao.
Once Hua Tuo finished speaking, Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon sighed and set those concerns aside for now. It decided to discuss them with Ye Huan once he woke up. Floating above Ye Tian, it followed what Hua Tuo had said and soon sent a transparent light down its throat into Ye Tian’s mouth...
"Cough cough..."
Uncertain how long he had been unconscious, feeling an uncomfortable sensation in his throat from something foreign, Ye Tian coughed twice before slowly opening his eyes. Upon seeing the form of the dragon above him, his first reaction was to unleash two sword energies formed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy directly at the gaping mouth of the dragon!
It was no surprise; anyone who had been in a coma for nearly half a year would likely react similarly upon waking up to find a creature resembling a magical beast hovering above them.
"How dare a mere Ninth-Level Practitioner lay hands on the esteemed, handsome, valiant, and great Principal Dragon! If it weren't for Ye Huan, I would have certainly dealt with you!"
The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon swallowed two sword energies in one gulp and mimicked the praises that Hua Tuo had previously showered upon him. This left Hua Tuo feeling both amused and exasperated, not to mention the utterly confused Ye Tian.
In an effort to understand what was happening, Ye Tian began to survey his surroundings as his strength gradually returned. Upon seeing Ye Huan lying unconscious on the ground, he felt a surge of anxiety and hurriedly moved to check on Ye Huan's condition.
"Don't touch him! Unless you want him dead..."
The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared before Ye Tian in a flash, startling him so much that he dared not take another step forward.
Meanwhile, from a distance, Liu Ruyan's beautiful face finally broke into a smile upon seeing Ye Tian awaken. After all, what could be more joyous than knowing one's family is safe in this world? Perhaps influenced by Liu Ruyan's happiness, even Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower wore faint smiles at the sight of Ye Tian. As for Zuo Yi, he was beaming with joy; according to his earlier confessions to Ye Huan, Ye Tian was his idol!
Noticing the gazes behind him, Ye Tian turned in surprise and immediately spotted Liu Ruyan. Realizing that staying here wouldn't help Ye Huan, he quickly walked over to her. They embraced tightly, drawing the attention of everyone around, including Hua Tuo and the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon!
Just as nearly everyone was caught up in the excitement of Ye Tian regaining consciousness, Ye Huan lay on the cold ground with his eyes tightly shut, appearing as if he were in a coma. Yet he felt as though he had fallen into a sea of flames. To make matters worse, just when the fire was raging, someone had thrown a barrel of gasoline into it!
"Ugh..."
A painful groan escaped from Ye Huan. Within a thirty-meter radius around him, everyone froze upon hearing his sound of distress and turned their astonished gazes toward him. However, just like before, there were no signs that Ye Huan would wake up...
