139: Old man, don't be so stingy!

[Ding! Talent 'Heart of Chaos' has been upgraded to 2-Star.]

When Lin Yue opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was Cai Wenji's face.

"Mr. White Emperor, you're finally awake!"

Cai Wenji had a look of pleasant surprise, and the heart she had been holding in her throat finally settled. She had been instructed by Lao Jun to protect the White Emperor and ensure his Second Advancement went smoothly.

If an accident happened here, she would be the sinner of the Lost City.

"Where's the old man?"

Surveying the surroundings and realizing he was in Di Jiang's home, Lin Yue asked while barely propping himself up.

"Lord Di Jiang went out after bringing you back. He's been gone for a while now, but he should be back soon."

Cai Wenji helped Lin Yue sit up and then explained patiently.

Bang!

The wooden door was suddenly pushed open by Xihe, who also noticed that Lin Yue was awake.

"Young Man, are you feeling better? That dead old man really doesn't know how to hold back."

As she spoke, Xihe brought a cup of water to Lin Yue.

"Drink this. You'll feel a bit more comfortable after drinking it."

Lin Yue nodded with a dizzy head and took a sip of water with Cai Wenji's help.

It was sweet to the taste and refreshing to the core.

After a bowl of water, Lin Yue's mind cleared up significantly, and his strength recovered a lot.

"This isn't ordinary water."

Lin Yue looked at Xihe in surprise; his physical condition had actually improved tremendously.

"It's nothing valuable. It's good as long as you can recover."

"Then give me another bowl."

Lin Yue's words were startling, and Xihe's expression froze for a moment.

This Water of Life only condensed one drop per year. That bowl of water just now probably contained two thousand years' worth of savings.

"Wait a moment, I'll go pour it for you."

Xihe said as she poured another bowl and handed it to Cai Wenji.

Another bowl of Water of Life went down. Under Xihe's somewhat resentful gaze, Lin Yue finally stopped asking for more.

"Thank you, Grandma. I'm feeling much better."

Not only did his head stop aching, but his physical condition had also recovered seventy to eighty percent.

Furthermore, Lin Yue felt that his mental state was exceptionally good—better than ever before. He felt excited, as if he had consumed a powerful tonic.

Xihe saw this and felt the pain in her heart; four thousand years' worth of water was gone just like that.

It was all that dead old man's fault. Why did he have to spar for no reason?

No, after Destiny leaves, she must have a 'spar' with the old man herself.

After sitting quietly for a minute, Lin Yue moved his body and got off the bed. He focused his gaze on the Heart of Chaos talent; he remembered receiving a System notification before he fainted.

Heart of Chaos (Supreme-Rank): 2-Star.

Effect: You will obtain four special traits: Chaos Element, Chaos Power, Chaos Body, and Chaos Soul.

Chaos Element (2-Star Passive): 150% of your Spell damage will be converted into Chaos attribute damage, ignoring magic resistance. (Only elemental resistance can reduce this damage. Scales with talent star level.)

Chaos Power (2-Star Active): Upon activation, increases spell power by 100% for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 3 minutes. (Scales with talent star level.)

Chaos Body (2-Star Passive): Increases all your resistances (including elemental resistance) by 150%. (Scales with talent star level.)

Chaos Soul (Active): Can fuse skills of the same type. (Cannot be leveled up.)

Proficiency: 700/100,000.

As the talent's star level increased, the three special traits also leveled up.

Spell damage was enhanced, resistance was enhanced, and the duration of Chaos Power had doubled.

It could be said that his combat strength had significantly improved once again.

With this kind of percentage-based amplification, every upgrade was massive.

"Ahem, Little Brother, you're awake."

At that moment, Di Jiang walked in while feigning a cough. He glanced at the resentful Xihe, then smilingly took out a pitch-black pill and tossed it to Lin Yue.

"This is?"

Lin Yue asked curiously, not understanding what it was.

Beside him, Cai Wenji looked at the pitch-black pill with burning eyes.

void god pill!

A secret medicine from the ancient era, it could repair all damage below the level of a Weak God, including Soul damage, talent damage, and so on.

It was hailed as an invincible divine medicine.

Furthermore, only those at the Strong God level could refine it.

Even seventy thousand years ago, it was a rare treasure.

In the present day, its value had multiplied several times over because there were simply too few Strong Gods in the Eastern God Clan now.

"Mr. White Emperor, this is a life-saving item and extremely precious."

Cai Wenji briefly explained the effects of the void god pill to Lin Yue, who was also shocked upon hearing it.

It could instantly heal all damage below the level of a Weak God? That was incredible!

Even if he only had one breath left, Lin Yue could instantly recover to his peak state. Using such a thing at his current stage would be too wasteful; he quickly put it away.

He placed the void god pill into his bag. If everyone had one of these during the Invasion of Ten Thousand Races, then the invasion probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

"Old man, just one is too stingy. Give me a few more."

"What?"

After hearing this, Di Jiang froze just as Xihe had earlier.

"Little Brother, I treat you like a brother, but what do you take me for? This is a void god pill. Do you think it's some common Qi Replenishing Pill?"

Di Jiang was so angry he almost threw his cane at Lin Yue's face.

It was true he was in the wrong, but the boy couldn't just take advantage and then act like he was being shortchanged.

Beside them, Xihe was laughing in her heart. 'Dead old man, you regret it now, don't you? Let's see if you'll spar again next time.'

In an instant, she felt the loss of four thousand years of Water of Life wasn't much of a deal anymore, as the value of the void god pill was much higher than the Water of Life.

"Um, I came to find Chaos for my Awakening. I'll have to trouble you to take me there now."

Seeing that Di Jiang was about to sever ties with him, Lin Yue quickly played dumb and changed the subject.

He couldn't afford to offend this big brother; otherwise, if there were more good things in the future, he wouldn't be able to swindle them.

Di Jiang couldn't read Lin Yue's mind right now; otherwise, if he knew what Lin Yue was thinking, he would definitely have greeted him with his cane.

"Fine, I'll take you there."

After speaking, the space around Di Jiang began to warp, and a circular array appeared under Lin Yue and Cai Wenji's feet. This was a Group Spatial Art.

In the next second, the Chaos Temple appeared before Lin Yue's eyes.

"So this is the Chaos Temple."

Cai Wenji's eyes were filled with curiosity. She had only been a demigod for a few thousand years, and many legendary matters were things she had heard from her elders.

Coming here in person now, everything was filled with novelty.

"Let's go."

Lin Yue rolled his eyes. She was a demigod, yet she acted like she had never seen the world.

However, Lin Yue could understand. The Lost City had been missing in the Land of the Final End for seventy thousand years.

Many people in the city might have never been anywhere else since birth. Cai Wenji's behavior was normal.

After the old man disappeared, the two of them arrived at the temple entrance. By this time, the temple gates were already wide open.

Chaos was sitting on a prayer mat, quietly waiting for Lin Yue's arrival...
