1789 Dying Man

"Yup! I am going to give this ring to a girl!" Chen Xiaobei grinned. There was a tenderness in his eyes.

"My god… Master, you're too generous…" Wugui Kojio gulped. "This is Tenshou's precious treasure!"

The densely populated Tenshou Starfield, home to billions of people, only had three Two-star Earth-God Instruments in their possession. If people found out that Chen Xiaobei was giving them away as a gift, all of the nine major starfields would have the shock of their lives.

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "Is this called generosity? I don't think it's anything special. if I had something even better, I would have still given it away without hesitation!"

"Nothing special…?" Wugui Kojiro's little heart nearly exploded.

Two-star was the highest grade of Earth-God instruments in all of the Nine Zones! This was equivalent to at least upper-middle grade in Apocalypse Starfield. Many Earth Gods would be willing to risk their lives just to own one!

Yet, here was Chen Xiaobei calling it 'nothing special'!

He then spent about two hours to completely transform the Frozen Heart Spirit Ring. At first glance, it looked like a shiny diamond like the ones back on earth but upon closer inspection, an observer would be able to see that the Frozen Heart Spirit Ring was even clearer and had a natural luminous glow from it. Lustrous. Dazzling.

Most notably, this was a Two-star Earth-God Instrument! The energy it wielded was comparable to a Two-star Earth-God!

No amount of diamonds combined could compare to the Frozen Heart Spirit Ring!

By the time he was finished with the ring, it was already midnight.

Instead of resting, Chen Xiaobei spent time cultivating.

While he was already at God-Ascension cultivation, there was still a long road ahead. He could not let his hair down yet. He needed to take hold of every minute and every second he had, to continue this lengthy accumulation of strength. His goal was to get to the Earth-God realm, and then the Heavenly Realm.

Only by having sufficient strength would Chen Xiaobei to invincible in the coming future!

He cultivated for almost 5 hours.

The sun had only risen when Qin Yitian's call disrupted Chen Xiaobei.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Early phase of God-Ascension; Lifespan: 1,100 years; Health: 501,000; Combat power: 501,000]

"That was too short… Thank goodness for the Heavenly Path's reward! A 1,000 point increase in combat power and health used to cost me ten-hours' worth of cultivation!" Chen Xiaobei thought aloud to himself. "Breaking through to God-Ascension level added 1,000 years to my lifespan. I can use that to speed up the process if necessary!"

After this short reflection on his cultivation gains, Chen Xiaobei sent Wugui Kojiro to pick up Qin Yitian.

While waiting for their return, Chen Xiaobei cleaned himself up.

A few minutes later, a very beautiful flying vehicle flew past the courtyard gates towards the prince's study.

The door slid open and Wugui Kojiro and QinYitian alighted from the craft.

Qin Yitian was stunning as ever with her striking looks and sultry figure. She had put on a crisp, white dress that made her look like a goddess.

To say this woman embodied the image of perfection was not hyperbole!

Except for that intense Murderous Intent, however!

According to Su Xiaoman, when Qin Yitian was a newborn, the Three-star Earth-God Instrument called the Heavenly Sword came down from the heavens and made her it's master!

Until this day, the sword had never left her side. As the years passed, the murderous aura of the sword influenced her so intensely that her mere presence made people weak in the knees.

Throughout the journey to his place, Wugui Kojiro avoided any eye contact whatsoever with Qin Yitian.

"Lady Qin, is the patient in the vehicle?" asked Chen Xiaobei who had a strong mind and was not fearful of her.

"Yes!" Qin Yitian nodded. "He's getting worse! I don't think he's going to make it!"

"Mm, let me take a look fist!" Chen Xiaobei walked to the car.

Qin Yitian pressed a button on her car key and the door opened upwards to reveal a wounded patient lying in the passenger seat.

This was so that they did not have to move the wounded man, who looked like he was easily in his thirties. His torso was swathed in thick layers of bandage, and fresh blood was stubbornly seeping through his chest leaving an ever increasing large red stain.

His face was a sickly shade of green and whenever he coughed, which was rather persistent at this point, blood would sprout from his mouth and nose.

The spacious carriage reeked of blood and the floor was dyed in droplets of red.

"He is a shidi of mine. We're from the same faction. The enemy hit him right in the chest. We've consulted a lot of doctors. They all say that his heart meridian has been permanently damaged, and there's nothing they could do for him…" Qin Yitian sighed. "I was ready to bury him but he hung on to life and had not stopped breathing! So, I wanted to try my luck to see if you could save him!"

"Aren't you just making it difficult for Childe Chen?!" Wugui Kojiro was not happy. "How can Childe Chen save someone on the verge of death? Does Childe Chen look like a deity to you?"

Wugui Kojiro was extremely intimidated by Qin Yitian's frightening presence, but he pushed that fear aside as he felt that she was deliberately making things difficult for his master. As his loyal hound, it was his job was to defend Chen Xiaobei against any injustice whatsoever.

Qin Yitian nodded. "I know that asking him to heal my shidi is a little imposing! I dared not give myself too much hope either on our way here, seeing how his condition had been worsening! I won't grumble if Childe Chen can't do it!"

"Now, that's more like it!" Wugui Kojiro pursed his lips. "Childe Chen is not a god. How could he raise the dead to life?"

"Why not?" Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrow at the prince. "You don't know anything! Step aside! Don't stay here and ruin my reputation!"

"I…" Wugui Kojiro looked confused. He was just protecting his master. How was that ruining Chen Xiaobei's reputation?

Qin Yitian was taken aback. "Childe Chen, you mean… You can save my shidi?"

"Of course!" Chen Xiaobei smiled confidently. "I even guarantee that he'll be able to walk in three days!"

"H…How…?" Both Qin Yitian and Wugui Kojiro asked in disbelief.

"It's already a miracle for a dying man to stay alive. How could he possibly walk in three days?" Wugui Kojiro was bewildered.

Qin Yitian looked just as doubtful. "Childe, Chen, it's okay if you can't do it… You can just tell me. I won't blame you! There's no need to crack jokes like that!"

Chen Xiaobei shrugged in response. "In terms of medical skills... if I claim second place, then there would be no one to claim the first!"
