"Saint girl, please don't disbelieve me. Let me tell you, if you want to practice faster and improve your cultivation faster, you have to go out and explore."
Yu Jiaorong nodded. She also understood this truth. In any force, when young people reach a certain level of strength and can protect themselves, they will be encouraged to go out and explore the world. They will only come back at certain specific times.
"I understand what you are saying, but I can't leave."
"Why can't you leave?" Wu Chen asked, puzzled.
Yu Jiaorong was silent for a while before she said, "Do you remember what I told you when I was in Tianzhu City? My mother is ill and she gets sick from time to time. As her daughter, how can I leave?"
Wu Chen was stunned. After listening to Yu Jiaorong, it seemed to be true. On the afternoon after the Alchemist Conference ended, Yu Jiaorong came to see him and said that she wanted him to go to the mermaid tribe to treat her mother.
"Saint, can you tell me what disease the clan leader has?"
Yu Jiaorong looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then she said, "My mother's illness is actually similar to yours."
"Is it similar to my illness?"
Wu Chen was even more confused. Could it be that the other party had swallowed some unknown elixir and caused the problem
Yu Jiaorong said: "My mother performed a forbidden technique ten years ago, and her strength increased dramatically in a short period of time, from the Dragon Transformation Realm to the Legendary Realm, which is why the problem occurred."
"Forbidden Technique?"
Wu Chen understood that his Yunhuan Pill was a forbidden pill. Strictly speaking, it was also a forbidden technique. The existence of forbidden techniques was to enable people to greatly improve their cultivation and increase their strength in a short period of time.
However, since it is called a forbidden technique, one must pay a certain price while gaining power. For example, when he took the Yunhuan Dan, it squeezed a lot of his lifespan in exchange for the powerful power.
"After that incident, the influence of the forbidden technique has always lingered on my mother. She would have attacks from time to time. When they occurred, she was in extreme pain. As a daughter, I felt very sad when I saw it."
Having said this, Yu Jiaorong's expression became extremely sad, and a mist appeared in her eyes, which made people feel pitiful.
Wu Chen said: "Saint, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely be able to cure the clan leader's illness."
His life was saved by Yu Jiaorong and the Great Elder, and he had stayed in the mermaid tribe for such a long time. He was wondering how to repay them. Now that he had the chance to repay them, how could he not do it
What's more, saving the dying and healing the wounded is the responsibility of these doctors and alchemists. As the Buddha said: Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Yu Jiaorong opened her eyes wide. Even the Great Elder was at a loss as to how to treat her mother's illness. She had also invited many other alchemists to take a look, but to no avail. So, she was basically in despair now.
"right."
Wu Chen nodded. For him, no matter what disease or problem the other party had, as long as he took action, there would be no problem.
"That's great, thank you, Wu Chen."
Yu Jiaorong cried with joy. Over the years, she had been worried about her mother's illness and didn't know what to do. Now that she finally saw hope, how could she not be happy
"Can you tell me why the clan leader wanted to perform the forbidden technique?"
Forbidden techniques possess terrifying power. Once used, they will cause serious harm to the body. This is known to everyone, and they will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
"this?"
Yu Jiaorong hesitated and fell into deep thought.
"Why, can't you tell me?"
Yu Jiaorong thought about it and shook her head, "Actually, it's not impossible to say that we, the mermaids, have a feud that is the mermaids."
"Family feud, the mermaids?"
Wu Chen had heard of the mermaids. They were one of the major races in the East China Sea and were quite powerful.
"Yes, it's the mermaids. The mermaids have always been eyeing us covetously and have always wanted to destroy us. They often attack us, especially ten years ago. The mermaids came with such force and momentum that our mermaids fought desperately, with almost all of their members mobilized, but we couldn't stop them. Seeing that the disaster of genocide was about to befall our race, my mother had no choice but to use secret methods and forbidden techniques to greatly increase her strength. She finally repelled the attacks of the mermaids and won the battle."
Wu Chen remained silent. The situation of Yu Jiaorong's mother was so similar to his. He also encountered a powerful Heavenly Wolf Shark in the Dragon Transformation Realm and was unable to defeat him. That was why he swallowed the Yun Huan Dan and exchanged a large amount of his life for powerful strength.
In this world, no one would use secret forbidden techniques for no reason. Once they use them, it is always when their lives are seriously threatened and they are really left with no other options. Only then would they use forbidden techniques.
Yu Jiaorong asked: "Wu Chen, I wonder if you can promise me one thing?"
"What is it?"
Yu Jiaorong said: "Don't tell anyone about my mother's illness. Otherwise, if the mermaids or other races find out, it will be bad for us."
Wu Chen said: "You can rest assured about this. I will never tell you."
Since Yu Jiaorong was willing to tell him the secret, it showed that she trusted him. How could he tell anyone else? Wouldn't that be obviously ungrateful
"That's good."
They have kept it secret for ten years and do not want anyone to know the true strength of their mermaid tribe. Otherwise, they will face genocide.
"Saint, something bad has happened. Saint, something bad has happened."
Just then, a panicked voice suddenly came. The two immediately turned around and looked up, only to see Xiaolan running in in a panic.
"Xiaolan, what happened? Why are you so panicked?"
Xiaolan hurried over, took a breath, and said, "Saintess, the mermaids, the mermaids are attacking."
"What?"
Yu Jiaorong's face changed drastically. She had not expected that just as she and Wu Chen had talked about the mermaids, the mermaids would attack their merman tribe.
"Take me to see it quickly."
Yu Jiaorong rushed out without saying a word. The mermaids and their merpeople were sworn enemies, and the fight was almost to the death. Their people were attacking their merpeople. This was an absolutely serious matter and there could not be any delay.
"What happened?"
Wu Chen frowned. There were so many conflicts in this world, and bloodshed occurred almost every day. He was speechless.
But he did not stop, but followed Yu Jiaorong and the others to see what was going on.
