Chapter 758 Enormous Quantity
Although Hu Feng's injuries had not fully healed, her mental strength had largely recovered. The moment Chen Yang entered, she was able to transform everything in the room into an illusion.
At first, Hu Feng found Chen Yang's appearance somewhat amusing. But when Chen Yang's words directly shattered her illusion, Hu Feng could only stand there blankly and offer a wry smile.
"You seem to have grown stronger again."
Others might not understand how strong Chen Yang truly was, but Hu Feng, having sparred with him, naturally knew.
It was precisely because of this that Hu Feng dared to employ her illusion technique.
Hu Feng had never fully grasped her own power. During her confinement, she had been digesting her abilities every moment. She had thought her illusion technique had reached its peak.
Yet, she never expected Chen Yang to see through it with a single glance.
Seeing Hu Feng's expression, Chen Yang knew she had taken quite a blow. He couldn't help but say, "Don't be so down. Your illusion technique, even I didn't break it instantly. Others wouldn't have a chance."
In fact, Chen Yang had felt a bit tense when he broke the illusion.
His mental strength had already reached a level that others could not surpass. Ordinary illusions could not trap his mental power.
Hu Feng's illusion was seemingly flawless. If Chen Yang hadn't used his mental strength to break it, he might have remained trapped indefinitely.
"Ah? Really?"
Hu Feng was surprised that Chen Yang would praise her and felt a bit happier.
She then said, "I don't know how I learned this set of illusion techniques. If you want to learn it, I can teach you. With your mental strength, you would definitely use this technique better than I do."
Chen Yang waved his hand. Hu Feng's illusion technique, if he wasn't mistaken, was likely inherited from Zhou Zeyao.
While Chen Yang was indeed very interested in ancient illusion arts, he had no time to research these branches now.
Finding a way to break through was Chen Yang's primary concern.
"I came today to take you out."
Unlike Hei Ya, Hu Feng had not suffered poor living conditions here, despite being guarded. Chen Yang had specifically sent people to procure everything she needed and her daily necessities.
When Chen Yang brought Hu Feng out, the Grandmasters of the Zhu family finally realized that Chen Yang intended to take her away!
Seeing all the bags and parcels, everyone was speechless.
However, Chen Yang had stated during his previous visit that as long as Hu Feng didn't try to escape, their main responsibility was to protect her.
A Zhu family Grandmaster asked curiously, "Do you need us to escort you?"
"No, no need!" Chen Yang quickly waved his hand, and then took out several bottles of pills from his pocket.
"These are all for restoring inner strength. Thank you all for your help these past days."
Although Chen Yang and the Zhu family had a cooperative relationship, he had used so many of their people and wasted so much time on this occasion. Chen Yang felt a bit uneasy and believed he should still offer appropriate compensation.
The Zhu family Grandmasters had never expected Chen Yang to give them pills. Zhu Wenyu had already informed them of Chen Yang's true identity.
For someone like him, the Zhu family naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship. They harbored no ill feelings about this operation.
Moreover, for them, ordinary rewards held no appeal. They were past that age.
But the moment Chen Yang presented the pills, it was undeniable that everyone's heart stirred.
Pills, while priced on the market,
did not necessarily mean they were readily available for purchase!
Alchemists who refined pills were rare treasures everywhere.
Although the Zhu family was not weak and controlled a very valuable trade route for medicinal herbs,
they were always at a disadvantage in their dealings with alchemists.
The number of pills they could acquire each year was not enough even for their own distribution.
Even low-quality pills, if one were to appear, would cause numerous martial artists to scramble for them!
Now, Chen Yang was not offering just one or two, but several bottles!
Even if there was only one pill per bottle, the quantity was absolutely terrifying.
"Chen Yang!"
"This gift is too precious. We cannot accept it. If we truly took it, what would that make us?"
"Since the Zhu family said we would help you with this matter, we never thought about compensation."
Initially, the Zhu family Grandmasters were hesitant to accept Chen Yang's reward. However, after Chen Yang's repeated persuasion, they ultimately chose to accept, as the allure of the items was immense.
After Chen Yang and Hu Feng emerged, Hu Feng hurried to Chen Yang's ear and said, "How many pills did you just give away? In that bottle, I heard at least five or six pills?"
Hu Feng's voice trembled as she spoke, truly astonished by Chen Yang's extravagant gesture.
Even if Chen Yang was an alchemist, such a terrifying quantity of pills could not have been refined in just one or two attempts.
"Giving away so many pills at once, how much stock do you have?"
Hu Feng's eyes began to sparkle.
She wondered what she could do to get Chen Yang to bestow two pills upon her as well.
Even ordinary recovery pills were not something common martial artists could offer.
"What? What's with that look? Do you want some too?"
Chen Yang easily saw through Hu Feng's gaze. Seeing her nodding frantically, Chen Yang tapped her on the head: "In the future, when you encounter such situations, you must maintain your composure. Pills are just external possessions."
Hu Feng almost spat out blood upon hearing this. Such precious pills, and Chen Yang dismissed them as mere external possessions?
"What? Do you think I'm wrong? If you encounter an extremely powerful martial artist, you won't even have time to take a pill!"
In Chen Yang's view, pills were merely tools to help martial artists recover faster and re-enter the next battle.
During combat, to truly hone one's strength, taking pills was not a good choice.
Pills were limited in number, but the situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, every second.
More importantly, pills were medicine, and even the best pills carried a trace of toxicity.
