It wasn’t that the clan leader didn’t trust Ye Xuan. After all, he had no reason to harm them by helping them so much. Otherwise, he could have chosen not to interfere in the beginning.
“I know what you’re worried about, Clan Leader. However, if I fail to transform, I’ll still die. It’s our last resort, we may as well give it a try.”
The Penglai Immortal Beasts didn’t have high hopes. After all, they had tried so many methods before, but all of them had failed.
The Penglai Immortal Beast that had previously taken the pill immediately let out a miserable cry. Golden light wrapped around its body, and a few faint traces of blood mist could be seen spreading out, further confirming their guesses.
After all, the situation did not look good. The air was filled with the faint smell of blood.
“In the end, we still failed to transform. I knew it. We didn’t succeed a thousand years ago, and we won’t have any results a thousand years later.”
The clan leader didn’t blame Ye Xuan. After all, Ye Xuan had good intentions.
“Forget it. I’m already satisfied to be able to see another member of the same clan in my lifetime. I wonder if our souls will return to our homeland after we die.”
The clan leader’s voice was choked with sobs as it said, “It’s just that I’m about to become a sinner of the ages. I really don’t have the pride to face our ancestors underground. Our bloodline has ended with me. I’m really sorry, everyone.”
“Clan Leader, please don’t say that. You’ve already tried your best. It’s just that you didn’t expect to be deceived and used by a vile person.”
“Even without that man, our curse could not be broken. This is not your fault, Clan Leader. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame our bad fate. The heavens are so unfair.”
Everyone’s emotions were infected by the sadness, and for a moment, they all lowered their heads and shed tears. The atmosphere fell into a dead silence, but it was broken by a trembling and excited male voice.
“I-I’ve succeeded!”
The people of the Tai Qing Sect quickly raised their heads, and what entered their eyes was an extremely unfamiliar young boy.
He looked to be about seven or eight years old, and his pupils were the same as those of the Penglai Immortal Beast, light amber, full of an unspeakable noble air.
Even the clan leader stood rooted to the ground, his tongue tied. He exclaimed, “Tian Lan, you’ve successfully transformed!”
Tian Lan was the name of the Penglai Immortal Beast.
“Do you feel any discomfort? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
In the face of the clan leader’s questions, Tian Lan shook his head excitedly. He said, “I just feel a little weak. I think my power hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
“This is a normal phenomenon.”
The clan leader didn’t dare to imagine that the problem that had troubled them for so many years was actually defeated by the pills in Ye Xuan’s hands.
Just what kind of medicinal pills were these to actually be so miraculous?!
The eyes of the other Penglai Immortal Beasts turned red as they looked at the young man in front of them in astonishment. They were instantly excited and said, “That’s great! We can be saved.”
This was called ‘as long as one bravely explored all possibilities, bravely face their obstacles and fears, there would be a ray of hope at the end of the tunnel.’
Seeing that Ye Xuan still had a pill in his hand, the clan leader quickly said, “Xuan Yuan, quickly eat this pill.”
At this moment, Xuan Yuan’s entire body was red, but there was still no sign of transforming into a human. If this continued, he would fail and soon enter a state of exhaustion.
On the contrary, if Xuan Yuan succeeded in their transformation, Xuan Yuan would appear like Tian Lan, in the form of a human cultivator child.
Xuan Yuan endured the pain and shook his head. He said, “I don’t want to eat it.”
Tian Lan couldn’t believe it. He said, “Are you crazy? You’ll die if you don’t eat this transformation pill!”
“If I eat it, what about the rest of the clan? I’ll leave it for the others.”
He had never thought that this was the reason why Xuan Yuan refused to eat the medicinal pill.
Thinking that Ye Xuan had only taken out two pills, the Penglai Immortal Beasts all fell into silence. Their initial excitement and joy were once again replaced by sadness.
That’s right, there were so many of them, but there were only so many medicinal pills. The number of clansmen that could be saved was really too few.
After all, a thousand years ago, they had tried all kinds of methods but failed and were even deceived by people. Now, Ye Xuan was able to help them transform with just these two pills.
One could imagine how precious and rare this pill was. It was at least of the supreme grade and was definitely not common. In their hearts, they subconsciously thought that Ye Xuan wouldn’t have more of these pills.
“No matter what, it’s better than nothing. As long as we Penglai Immortal Beasts can keep our bloodline in this world.”
“Xuan Yuan, stop hesitating and eat this pill.”
In the face of everyone’s persuasion, Xuan Yuan firmly refused to eat.
“My talent isn’t the best in the clan, so it’s better not to waste it. Leave this pill for the younger generation.”
The Penglai Immortal Beasts were extremely united. They kept pushing the remaining medicinal pill around, wasting half a day’s time.
Ye Xuan couldn’t stand it anymore. He went straight up and stuffed the pill into Xuan Yuan’s mouth. Ye Xuan said, “Just eat it if I tell you to. Why are you still talking so much?”
Before Xuan Yuan could say anything, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but complain, “Isn’t it just a transformation pill? I have a lot of them here. You guys don’t have to worry about who to give them to.”
The clan leader did not believe it. It said, “That’s impossible. What kind of joke is this…”
Before the clan leader could finish his words, Ye Xuan waved his sleeve, and countless transformation pills fell in front of the Penglai Immortal Beasts like rain.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet again.
The clan leader’s voice was trembling. It couldn’t believe what it was seeing. It stuttered, “These… are these all transformation pills?”
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly and replied, “Yes, it is. Why would I lie to you?”
The Penglai Immortal Beasts thought of how they had been pushing each other around earlier and were embarrassed and speechless for a moment.
Who would’ve thought that such a magical pill was like candy to Ye Xuan? He said they could have as many as they wanted. It simply didn’t make sense!
The people of the Tai Qing Sect had long been used to Ye Xuan’s methods, and their faces were calm as if the Penglai Immortal Beasts were making a mountain out of a molehill.
Soon, Xuan Yuan also successfully transformed. If one was an accident, then two successful transformations in a row were enough to prove the magic of this pill.
