Chương 159: War God — Chapter 159 - Then You'd Better Use Me Thoroughly!

Wang Xian said nothing. Using Spirit Malevolence to cultivate the Stellar Body Refinement Art was his own creation. Even in his past life, no one had known.

"Don't worry, it's not about that..." Wang Xian briefly explained opening meridians and the Beast Cancer situation. After listening, Chen Yuting drew a sharp breath.

"A special breathing method to open meridians and condense the Yuan Force Crystal Wall. Medicinal agents to help absorb the Malevolent Qi in the body. Then martial techniques to expel the Malevolent Qi."

"You want to solve Beast Cancer?" Beast Cancer was only the surface meaning. The real goal was helping warriors gradually nurture Divine Meridians. Revealing that would mean exposing the Stellar Body Refinement Art. But using this gentler method to develop Divine Meridians didn't require the Stellar Body Refinement Art. No need to expose anything.

"More or less." Wang Xian smiled faintly.

"I've already done it myself, but my method is unique. Not suitable for others. Using medicinal agents to condense the Yuan Force Crystal Wall is more stable, and something most warriors can accept."

"So creating this medicinal agent..."

"Will make the Xianting Society famous nationwide in no time..." Chen Yuting murmured. The pace had suddenly accelerated. Even faster than she'd planned! This medicinal agent was critical. It could solve Beast Cancer! And even if the materials were hard to find, that was only temporary. Now that they had this smelted insect molt, they had a template. They just needed to cross-reference and find suitable materials. Later, they wouldn't need Nine Nether Dark Insect molt specifically.

Modern smelting science could analyze the base material and gradually find substitutes once you had it! One begets two, two begets three! Finding that "one" was just the hardest part.

"I'll run experiments myself too," Wang Xian said.

"I'm willing!" Chen Yuting's expression brightened with excitement.

"Give me a year... no, just a few months. Before freshman year ends, I'll definitely create the medicinal agent you need!" As the key step in solving Beast Cancer. Once this medicinal agent was successfully created and mass-produced. It could be called a milestone moment for Blue Star! Is this your way of thanking me? Chen Yuting's heart shook. Wang Xian nodded. This was what Chen Yuting excelled at most. The method was conceived, but promoting it and expanding its influence wouldn't be easy.

With Senior Yan's support, they could find other partners. But who knew if problems would arise at some critical moment? As for Chen Yuting... At least he knew her inside and out. On Blue Star, few people were more skilled at this kind of business strategy than her. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Right..." Wang Xian said thoughtfully.

"I've looked into it. Currently, medicines for treating Beast Cancer are strictly controlled by foreign pharmaceutical conglomerates and sold at exorbitant prices. Once my method emerges and the Xianting Society appears in the open holding the key medicinal agent, it'll draw bitter hatred from many foreign pharmaceutical groups."

"Even with national protection."

"Hidden arrows are hard to guard against. You..." Those foreign Beast Cancer medicines just prolonged life. They couldn't cure it. The conditions weren't there. But once a method appeared that could truly solve Beast Cancer, that key medicinal agent would be genuine salvation. It would kill the market. Monopolize it. Driven by enormous profit, hard to imagine what methods they'd employ.

"Just petty tricks..." Chen Yuting interrupted confidently.

"If they want to deal with me, they're nowhere near enough!" Quite confident, aren't you. Right. He'd forgotten what she did in her past life. Wang Xian handed half the smelted insect molt to Chen Yuting. The rest he kept, planning to run experiments himself. Then he saw her out of the tent.

"Wang Xian!" As she left, Chen Yuting turned around.

"That thing... when will you come get it?"

"What thing?" The moment he spoke, Wang Xian remembered. He fell silent.

"The later it is, the harder it'll be to retrieve." Moonlight spilled down, coating her eyes with silver radiance, adding allure in the darkness. Wang Xian shook his head.

"Not for now."

"You said it yourself." Chen Yuting laughed lightly.

"But I don't care. You'll have to come get it eventually. I'll keep it for you forever."

"It's yours. Forever yours. No one can touch it, much less take it away!"

"......" Wang Xian.

"Also..." Chen Yuting tilted her head slightly, looking back at him.

"Tonight... can I take it as you helping me?" She bit her lip lightly, eyes glistening.

"Just thanking you for your help this time." Wang Xian waved his hand.

"Don't misunderstand. You can consider it me using you." Heh. You shared your secret with me and helped me like this. Little man, still being stubborn. Chen Yuting didn't take it to heart. She curled her lips into a smile.

"Then you'd better use me thoroughly." Her voice dripped with temptation. She left.

"......" Wang Xian. Thick-skinned. Truly fiery. Wang Xian walked expressionlessly into the tent. After a day's rest, the next day. Wang Xian and Yan Zhaoxue set out for their respective destinations. Yunhe City, maglev train station.

"Your merits have been processed."

"Young Yan has been awarded the Crimson Dragon Battle Command."

"Congratulations. Dragon Nation has another Crimson Dragon Battle Command holder." Captain Qian looked at them with gratification. Yan Zhaoxue made a sound of acknowledgment but looked toward her junior.

"You don't need to worry about this kid..." Captain Qian laughed.

"You probably don't know, he already has the Crimson Dragon Battle Command."

"......" Yan Zhaoxue. The senior had one. But...

"Will the military grant him the Gold Dragon Battle Command?" Yan Zhaoxue asked suddenly.

"You're thinking too much." Captain Qian shook his head.

"Not likely. The Gold Dragon Battle Command requires major contributions to Dragon Nation... If he'd resolved the Dragon Calamity Bone Tomb alone, the military might grant it."

"But this time, it was both your merits. And relatively speaking, you were more critical..." Yan Zhaoxue opened her mouth but said nothing. The senior wanted to hide part of the information. He must have his reasons...

"So the Gold Dragon Battle Command is impossible..." Captain Qian said thoughtfully.

"However, the military has decided to make an exception and grant him a Vault Martial Trial qualification."

"The remaining battle merits will be credited to your magnetic crystal cards."

"Vault Martial Trial?" Yan Zhaoxue's eyes lit up.

"Junior gets this as a freshman? I don't even have it yet..."

"His strength is lacking, but his courage and experience are there." Captain Qian smiled.

"The Western Shu military will discuss details with him." Yan Zhaoxue tugged at Wang Xian excitedly.

"Junior, the military is granting you a Vault Martial Trial slot! You have to work hard!"

"What are you looking at?" Wang Xian made a sound of acknowledgment, opened his phone to check the train schedule, and smiled.

"Got it."

"Senior, Captain Qian, the train to Western Shu is arriving! See you next semester!" Wang Xian shouldered his backpack and walked toward the train. Yan Zhaoxue waved, her gaze reluctant.

"Captain Qian, what was junior looking at so intently?" Captain Qian pointed at Yunhe City's thousand-story lighthouse piercing the clouds.

"The lighthouse, probably."

"What's so interesting about that..." Yan Zhaoxue looked at the distant lighthouse and suddenly understood. She looked at Wang Xian's train and fell silent. The lighthouse's beam split the twilight like a heaven-piercing sword, letting sunlight spill over Yunhe City. The rotating iridescent light at its peak fell on the metal city walls at the border, refracting soft spots of light. Like countless hands reaching across time and space, gently brushing over the scorched earth and ruins Wang Xian had once seen.

At this moment. Through the train window. Wang Xian didn't see Yunhe City turned to hell. Didn't see mountains of corpses along the way. The collapsed lighthouse still stood among the clouds. The scent of human life still lingered. Wang Xian smiled as he boarded the return train. A beam of the lighthouse's rotating light fell on the train, illuminating his road home.

"The tower stands. The light burns."

"This body though small as an ant, time bears witness to my path."

"Goodbye, Yunhe City." January 16, 2026. Wang Xian left Northern Tibet. In this life, the Northern Tibet Relic didn't erupt. Everything bathed in bright spring sunshine! ➤ Next: Heavenly Mountain Cold Fluid
