Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Faced with Chen Tian's questioning, Cao Fangcun didn't dare to show any temper, only lowering his head and remaining silent.

Seeing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but sneer, and said, "It seems you really lied to me. There's no Nirvana Pill here at all. Fine, since that's the case, I'll take my leave. These Nebula Worms, you can fend them off yourselves!"

With that, Chen Tian turned around, pretending to leave.

However, the moment he turned to leave, a sense of despair instantly rose in everyone's hearts.

Although they didn't know what method Chen Tian used to make these Nebula Worms so afraid of him, they understood that among them, only Chen Tian could do this. And if Chen Tian really left, then after losing Chen Tian's protection, those Nebula Worms would immediately counterattack them, instantly devouring them completely.

Therefore, everyone understood that Chen Tian's departure was equivalent to their death.

Cao Fangcun wasn't a fool, and of course he knew this. So, watching Chen Tian turn his back and about to leave, he felt terrified and hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Chen, please calm down. We can talk things over."

"Hmph, what is there to talk about at this point?" Hearing Cao Fangcun's words, Chen Tian's tone was still icy cold as he said, "You already know that the reason I agreed to your request was because of that Nirvana Pill. Now that there's no Nirvana Pill, what am I staying here for!"

As he spoke, Chen Tian took a few more steps forward, and seeing this, the surrounding Nebula Worms became even more excited and approached closer.

Seeing this, Cao Fangcun's heart trembled. Seeming to have made up his mind, he bit his lip, then resolutely took out something from his storage bag, held it in his hand, and said to Chen Tian, "Brother Chen, please wait a moment. The Nirvana Pill is actually with me!"

Chen Tian had already taken several steps forward, but upon hearing Cao Fangcun's words, his footsteps suddenly stopped. With his back to everyone, a hint of smugness suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, this hint of a smile was fleeting. Soon, Chen Tian returned to his previous angry and indifferent expression, turned around, looked at Cao Fangcun, and said, "With you? Heh heh, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? You think I'll believe you just because you say it's with you?"

Hearing this, Cao Fangcun smiled wryly. Then, he stretched out his left hand and slowly revealed the thing he had taken out to Chen Tian.

After Cao Fangcun's palm was completely open, what he held in his hand was a red and green pill. This pill was quite different from ordinary elixirs. One couldn't sense any spiritual energy from it. Instead, it appeared extremely dim, like a small stone casually picked up from the roadside.

However, the moment Chen Tian saw this red and green pill, his eyes narrowed imperceptibly, and a trace of excitement flashed through his gaze.

But quickly, Chen Tian's expression turned somber again, pretending to be puzzled, and said, "What is this broken thing?"

The bitter expression on Cao Fangcun's face grew even stronger as he sighed, "Replying to Brother Chen, this is the Nirvana Pill. As far as I know, this is the only one in the entire Qian Yuan Continent!"

"Heh heh, your Cao family is becoming more and more fond of lying. You dare to claim a randomly picked up unknown broken stone as a Nirvana Pill. Do you really think I, Chen, am so easily fooled?" Chen Tian still didn't believe him.

Hearing this, Cao Fangcun was stunned for a moment. After pondering for a while, he instructed a Cao family elder behind him, "Cao Da, do you still have water with you?"

"Replying to the young master, there's no water, but there's still half a pot of wine. Is that alright?" Cao Da respectfully replied.

"Alas, forget it, forget it. Wine it is then. Bring it to me," Cao Fangcun said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Cao Da didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly untied a wine gourd from his waist and handed it to Cao Fangcun.

Cao Fangcun took it, and then with a flip of his left hand, he took out a white jade wine cup. After uncorking the bottle, he poured out half a cup of wine from it.

But just at this moment, Cao Fangcun suddenly stopped and said to Chen Tian, "Brother Chen, you must watch carefully what happens next."

Hearing this, Chen Tian couldn't help but reveal a strong interest. He nodded and stared intently at Cao Fangcun, wanting to see what tricks he was planning to play.

At this moment, Cao Fangcun suddenly threw the red and green pill he was holding into the wine cup.

However, it wasn't in there for long. After only a breath's time, he immediately scooped it out again.

Seeing this, not only Chen Tian, but even Pu Suanzi and the others were very curious about Cao Fangcun's actions. They couldn't understand what Cao Fangcun was trying to do.

However, Cao Fangcun ignored everyone's surprise, held up the wine cup, and looked around as if searching for something. After searching for a while, Cao Fangcun's eyes lit up. He walked to a decaying and withered tree branch, squatted down, and slowly poured the wine in the wine cup onto the roots of the branch.

Immediately afterward, a magical scene appeared.

After pouring all the wine in the wine cup, this originally dry branch instantly regained its vitality. Accompanied by a 'rumbling' sound, the branch grew rapidly, and the emerald green branches and leaves burst out like fireworks. The originally thin branches also quickly expanded.

Right before everyone's eyes, this originally withered and dead branch actually grew into a giant tree that pierced into the clouds in just a few breaths. Its height was even greater than all the trees in this sea of trees, and its branches and leaves were even more luxuriant.

Faced with all of this, everyone felt a burst of disbelief. Who would have thought that a seedling that had already died could still regain its vitality and grow vigorously? Could it be that it had eaten an immortal medicine?

Chen Tian was also pleasantly surprised. He finally confirmed that the pill was the legendary Nirvana Pill!

Cao Fangcun only used it to dab a little wine and pour it on the seedling, and the seedling that had already died immediately regained its vitality. If he gave the whole pill to Qin Yi, wouldn't Qin Yi's vitality be able to reconnect as well?
