Thorned vines slithered closer like snakes.
Wang Juemie’s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets as he bellowed, “You dare!”
This bellow concentrated all of his power, reverberating through the valley like a lion’s roar. Yiyi trembled all over, and the vines stiffened in the air.
Wang Juemie charged over to Yiyi as quickly as he could. Whether or not he could make it in time, he couldn’t just sit back and watch as Yiyi killed his juniors, particularly the juniors he cherished the most. If Yiyi dared to hurt them, he swore that he would tear her into pieces!
At this moment, the trembling Tang Jie suddenly opened his eyes. “You had best… stop!”
Yiyi and Wang Juemie both froze.
“Big Brother!” Yiyi cried out in delight.
Wang Juemie stared hard at Tang Jie, shouting, “Tang Jie, you had better not feign death. Tell us: did I feed you poison or not?”
“Talk about it… later,” Tang Jie squeezed out, and then his eyes rolled over as he fainted again. But this time, he was no longer convulsing.
Now that he had spoken, Yiyi and Wang Juemie didn’t dare to act recklessly, so they opted to just wait for him.

Wang Juemie had given him the real deal, but unexpectedly, Tang Jie had hardly been able to endure its medicinal power.
It was hard to blame him. It had to be understood that the Undying Celestial Origin Pill was an extremely domineering restorative medicine. A normal person couldn’t endure its power, and even Wang Juemie could only withstand three per year. After taking one, his body would be bursting with energy for some time afterward, his recovery speed increased. This medicine wasn’t just fierce, but also long-lasting.
Wang Juemie had dared to give it to Tang Jie entirely because the constitution Tang Jie had displayed indicated that he could endure the medicinal power of the Undying Celestial Origin Pill.
But he hadn’t thought about how he might have been different from Tang Jie.
Tang Jie’s greatest problem was that his body refining had been too safe.
When Wang Juemie had refined his body, he had run up a mountain every day while carrying weight and had his body beaten with staves. He would recover using medicine and then continue the process, cultivating every day until every part of his body was sporting wounds. Even broken hands and feet were commonplace. To sum it up, it was a flesh wound every day, a broken bone every month, and walking on the line between life and death every year.
This method of refining had involv…
