Chapter 333 The Little Jade Bottle

Seeing Jiang Xian's martial arts prowess, he could start to scheme, such as taking Jiang Xian hostage during their journey to escape.

In the eyes of the core members, Jiang Xian was clearly the leader among the three, and the other two would be very concerned about Jiang Xian's safety. Jiang Xian himself had no martial arts background, and was either a low-level martial artist or an ordinary archery enthusiast.

Therefore, for a martial artist of Earth Rank strength like Zhuxin Gu, Jiang Xian's martial prowess is negligible.

In particular, if the core leader were to take Jiang Xian hostage later, he should not be threatened, which reassured him.

Jiang Xian's thoughts were unknown to others; and even Li Huwei's thoughts were unclear to Jiang Xian.

Although Li had used all his mental strength, he still couldn't believe that he hadn't fallen to the ground.

He suddenly remembered that when Jiang Xian used this powder to hit the four thugs, Jiang Xian was not affected at all, and even the horse under Jiang Xian seemed to have been unaffected.

Could it be that this powder can clearly distinguish between the user and the recipient?
Isn't this medicine powder practically sentient?
How did this miraculous medicine end up in Jiang Xian's hands?

Li Huwei pondered these thoughts in his heart, but the more he thought about them, the more confused he became.

Now, he is not only physically weak and powerless, but his mind is also becoming increasingly muddled.

Lost in thought, he failed to notice the approaching hoofbeats.

The next instant, Li Huwei saw a tiny, ordinary jade bottle flash before his eyes.

Along with it came a slender, fair hand, a long, delicate hand as white as a scallion, which was holding up the small jade bottle. Compared to the hand, the small jade bottle seemed extraordinary.

Li, the guard, felt a sudden pause and was momentarily dazed.

But upon closer inspection after regaining their composure, they discovered a clue.

He recognized the hand; it wasn't the first time he'd seen it.

He was quite surprised when he first saw those hands, so he had a very deep impression of them.

He first saw those hands when their owner took off his gloves to pick out medicinal herbs. The hands appeared before his eyes instantly after the gloves were removed.

Those hands were exceptionally beautiful, long and fair, without any flaws, but they didn't resemble the hands of ordinary young girls; instead, they looked very strong.

Clearly, the owner of that hand was Jiang Xian. Li Huwei found the power emanating from those hands unforgettable.

In fact, Jiang Xian's hands were not without flaws, but the flaws were concealed by her fingerless gloves, deliberately kept from being seen by others.

There was a thin layer of calluses on her palms.

She now often wears a special pair of gloves that are lightweight and have been treated in specific areas, making it difficult for new calluses to grow.

Therefore, the calluses on Jiang Xian's hands from practicing archery are gradually fading, and even after taking off his gloves, they are not clearly visible unless you look closely.

"Take it."

Jiang Xian urged his horse forward and slowly walked from behind Li Huwei to his side, reaching out his hand to Li Huwei who was sitting on the ground from top to bottom.

Just as the small jade bottle, held aloft through a light-colored glove, appeared before him, steadily held up by a slender, jade-like hand, Jiang Xian's voice suddenly rang out.

Under the hood, the girl deliberately lowered her voice, so low that only Guard Li could hear it.

However, even though the girl's voice was very low, it still landed precisely on Li Huwei's heart.

He quickly realized that the familiar voice belonged to Jiang Xian, who had just saved his life.

As for the jade bottle that Jiang Xian was holding, it was the first time he had ever seen it.

The jade bottle looked extremely ordinary, and its size was quite small, suggesting that it could only hold a few small pills.

The largest part of the jade bottle, taking up the top and bottom portion, is surprisingly the stopper to prevent evaporation.

He had never seen a medicine bottle like this before. Even when he was at the Jiang family, the pills made by the Jiang family's pharmacists were always stored in aesthetically pleasing containers. Even the pills distributed to them, the guards, were never just made carelessly.

The containers used by the Jiang family to store pills are always chosen according to the medicinal properties of the pills being refined, not just the value of the pills.

Of course, if the pills are to be sold, they will be packaged in the best medicine bottles within a certain range.

In this way, if a container with better material and appearance is chosen to hold the pills, the same pills can be sold at a better price with a more aesthetically pleasing bottle, thus giving customers a better subjective experience.

So, the same thing, just by increasing the cost a little, can double the transaction price and sell for a good price, so why not? But even though he had never seen the thing before, even though it was so ordinary, he still took the small jade bottle from Jiang Xian's hand without hesitation, uncorked it, and without even looking at it, tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and swallowed everything inside and outside the bottle.

Li Huwei's series of actions were completed in one go, without the slightest hesitation, just like a death squad obeying orders.

This left the leader somewhat dumbfounded.

What's going on with these two?
What was that thing that was taken?
The current leader was momentarily flustered and quickly withdrew his previous idea of ​​taking Jiang Xian hostage.

He felt a chill all over his body. In his opinion, Li Huwei, a high-level Heaven-rank martial artist, was terrifying, but Jiang Xian was an even more terrifying existence than Li Huwei.

He couldn't help but wonder, where did this hooded man come from to conjure up so many strange and wonderful things?

What did they do to him this time?
Because Jiang Xian's body was blocking the view, the leader did not see what Jiang Xian was holding. He only saw that Guard Li ate something, but he couldn't see what it was because of the two of them blocking the view.

Jiang Xian and his horse blocked most of Li Huwei's body, and even Jiang Xian's outstretched hand was completely blocked by his sideways body.

The key figure could only see the actions of Jiang Xian and Li Huwei passing things between them, but he couldn't see what exactly was being passed.

Even the act of Li, the bodyguard, swallowing the contents of the bottle seemed somewhat strange to the leader.

Li, the bodyguard, gripped the small jade bottle tightly in his large hand, the entire bottle engulfing his grasp.

He then put the contents of the jade bottle into his mouth. Even Li himself didn't know what the contents of the jade bottle looked like, let alone the main figure who was being heavily concealed by Jiang Xian and Li himself.

Therefore, the core leader could only guess the general idea of ​​the actions between Jiang Xian and Li Huwei. He could only know what the two were exchanging, but he could not see clearly what exactly they were exchanging.

The contents of the small jade bottle fell into Li Huwei's mouth, and he swallowed it all in the time it took to subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Li, the guard, didn't even feel anything; he could only sense that the contents of his mouth were two small, somewhat cold pills.

That little pill was the smallest of all the pills he had ever taken.

The pills I usually take are about the size of a thumb, or at least the size of a little finger, or they are either powders or liquids.

This was the first time he had ever seen and tasted something that felt like it had no foreign object in his mouth. He didn't even feel any discomfort while swallowing it, and he found the sensation quite amazing.

Before he could even react, he thought he had swallowed a mouthful of air.

He couldn't even taste the pill.

Guard Li thought that the pill itself was quite large, but its strange melting-in-the-mouth state made him unable to sense its presence.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

He had clearly seen the size of the medicine bottle.

The small medicine bottle that Jiang Xian handed him could not possibly hold a pill the size of a thumb, unless there was some hidden mechanism inside.

Therefore, it is very likely that the situation is not what Guard Li guessed, but rather that the pill was made very small to begin with.

However, even after taking the elixir, Guard Li was still somewhat surprised.

Although he had actually seen the small jade bottle, he didn't think there would be anything enormous inside. But in his mind, it should at least be a whole bottle of powder or liquid medicine.

Li, the guard, never imagined that there were two such small pills inside the medicine bottle.

What effect could such a small pill possibly have?
Li Huwei had never seen, eaten, or even heard of any pharmacist who would make medicine into such a small form.

Even though he had some doubts about the efficacy of the pill, he never imagined that it was made by Jiang Xian.

It's understandable that he hasn't seen it before. This pill was made by Jiang Xian. Besides the small animals he experimented on, he also tested it on himself. Guard Li was the first person to take this pill.

Li, the guard, had never seen such a pill before, because it wasn't even circulating within the Jiang family.

Li Huwei swallowed quickly, a speed that even surprised Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian has a rather cautious approach to things, but he is not someone who is willing to magnify every detail of a matter.

Caution is a good thing, but she didn't want to overthink things because of it, thus delaying her own assessment and judgment of the situation.
