Phew!

Upon noticing that Wu Yati's vital signs were starting to recover, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Li Wuji, "Wu Ji, watch over him for a bit. I'm going to rest for a while. Call me when he wakes up."

"Yes!" Li Wuji respectfully responded, his eyes revealing a worried expression.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Jiang Chen said as he patted Li Wuji on the shoulder and walked towards the door.

Yan Hu hurriedly reached out to support him.

When they got to the neighboring room, Yan Hu took out healing pills and handed them to Jiang Chen. He then turned and left the room, stationing himself at the door to stand guard.

Jiang Chen took the pills and performed acupuncture on himself, which allowed him to recover a bit. Then, reversing his hand, he picked up the Blood Saber, his eyes reflecting a grave expression.

He had not anticipated that after the Blood Saber absorbed the essence blood, it would trigger his own heart demon, making him wary of the Blood Saber once again!

"I can still suppress the blood energy with my current dragon qi, but if my strength increases again... I feel that when I break through the Barrier between Heaven and Man, the current level of dragon qi might not be enough to suppress the blood energy. I have to resolve the heart demon issue as soon as possible!" Jiang Chen muttered with a serious expression.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen made a decision. He placed the Blood Saber into his walking stick and continued to recuperate.

Hum hum hum!

A strong aura suddenly emanated from the next room, taking Jiang Chen by a brief surprise, then his brow furrowed lightly, "The peak of an Innate Grandmaster?! Which generation is this gene potion? How could it increase his strength so much?"

The aura from the neighboring room was indeed coming from Wu Yati.

Feeling the powerful aura, Li'er's expression changed, and joyfully she said, "Uncle's come back to life, he's really come back to life! And he's even stronger now! That's so great!"

Li Wuji and Zhang Wushang exchanged glances, each revealing a look of astonishment.

This potion's effect is too terrifying, isn't it?

Knock knock knock!

At this moment, the door to the bedroom was knocked on, and Li Wuji stepped forward to open it.

Jiang Chen and Yan Hu entered the room and both looked towards Wu Yati on the bed.

"Young Master, this..." Yan Hu's eyes flashed with a hint of concern.

Jiang Chen knew the situation well and said in a low voice, "I'll ask about it in a minute."

Such a potent effect from the potion was indeed worrisome. To increase one's realm by two levels in an instant—the temptation was too great. If there were no side effects, the Gene Organization, with such a caliber of potion, would attract a large number of martial artists, and that would be rather frightening!

Although the ratio of powerful warriors among martial artists wasn't high, if the base was large enough, the probability of cultivating strong warriors would increase. The Gene Organization was already very powerful, and even the Holy Court did not dare to act recklessly without knowing the flaws of the gene warriors. If it were to grow stronger again, the world might no longer be stable!

Hum hum!

The aura gradually subsided, and Wu Yati slowly opened his eyes.

"Where is this...?" Wu Yati mumbled in confusion, then suddenly thought of something and quickly sat up.

"Mr. Jiang?!" Seeing Jiang Chen, Wu Yati's expression brightened, "Mr. Jiang, was it you who saved me?"

"Uncle! You've finally come back to life! That's so great! So great! Wuu wuu..." Li'er abruptly sprinted to Wu Yati's side and burst into tears while hugging him.

"What do you mean 'come back to life'? What nonsense are you talking about? Are you wishing for my death?" Wu Yati immediately got angry and pushed Li'er away.

Bang!

With a dull thud, Wu Yati, who had just gained strength, did not control his power well and directly pushed Li'er against the wall.

Hmm!

Li'er grunted, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. She looked aggrieved and said, "Uncle, you have died once! It was Mr. Jiang who saved your life!"

"What?" Wu Yati had just been marveling at his own strength, and upon hearing this, looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly and said, "It's good that you're all right now. You've wronged Li'er; you indeed almost didn't make it. I…"

At this point, Jiang Chen continued with a shamefaced look, "In order to save you, I had to use... Feel your body now, and I hope you won't blame me!"

Wu Yati was slightly startled, his eyebrows gently furrowing as he examined his own body.

"This…" In an instant, Wu Yati felt the immense power inside him and his face lit up with joy, but then his expression turned weird in the blink of an eye.

"Is this… that?" Wu Yati looked at Jiang Chen with a surprised and doubtful look.

Jiang Chen just nodded slightly.

"Uncle, Mr. Jiang almost didn't make it back either when he went to get the medicine! When he returned just now, he was covered in wounds, drenched in blood!" Li'er quickly spoke up, looking at Jiang Chen with eyes full of gratitude.

Wu Yati was startled again and took a closer look at Jiang Chen, suddenly noticing Jiang Chen's extremely pale face and his somewhat uneven breathing, revealing a state of weakness.

"Mr. Jiang, what's this..." Wu Yati's face changed, his eyebrows tightly knitted together.

Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "I went to the north to fetch the medicine and encountered people from the Holy Court; that place... is destroyed now!"

"The north?! The Holy Court?!" Wu Yati's heart shuddered fiercely, and he said with a fierce expression, "Damn the dogs of the Holy Court!"

Suddenly, Wu Yati had an epiphany, his face lighting up with joy, and he excitedly said, "Mr. Jiang, are you… with that organization?"

"I am not!"

Jiang Chen hurriedly denied it, his face showing a touch of regret as if he regretted letting something slip.

"Haha! I understand, I understand." Wu Yati had a knowing look on his face as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart and laughed while speaking.

He knew about the collaboration between the Dark Church and the Gene Organization and thought Jiang Chen was just being cautious. He suddenly laughed aloud.

Jiang Chen looked at Wu Yati intently.

He knew Wu Yati got it wrong, mistaking him for a member of the Gene Organization.

But that was what he had hoped for.

So, he said solemnly, "Mr. Wu Yati, I hope you understand that I am only the chairman of Jiuzhou Group and the Family Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng. I am not anything else, and when you report back to those behind you, you should only say that much!"

"Understood!"

Wu Yati nodded firmly, his eyes showing extreme gratitude, "Mr. Jiang, you saved my life! I won't betray you, even if the Great Grandmaster asks, I will only say that you are the chairman of Jiuzhou Group and the Family Head of the Jiang Family!"

"That's good to hear," Jiang Chen exhaled a long breath and then glanced at Li'er, "Li'er, please step outside for a moment; I have something to discuss with Mr. Wu Yati."

"Oh, all right!"

Li'er nodded, turned, and walked out of the room. To him, what Jiang Chen and Wu Yati discussed was not important. What mattered was that Wu Yati was alive, allowing him to continue living his carefree life!

Once Li'er left, Jiang Chen looked at Wu Yati with a concerned expression:

"Mr. Wu Yati, that medicine does have some side effects, a change in your body's configuration, inability to sense breath. How are you feeling?"
