Chapter 182 - Hundred And Eighty Two - Sun thinks it’s a coincidence (2/2)

”What was all that about?” Sun asked curiously as they approached the expanse of bridges, those that lead to the various mountain scapes the institute was spread across.

”Hmm?” Corvus questioned, lazily.

”What the Healer said about pills.”

”Oh, it's nothing much,” Corvus replied, ”just that after your accident, I fed you a One heart pill that turned out to be a bit more effective that usual. That old Healer is just getting his panties in a twist about it.”

Sun knew this much already; his leg had been scratched by that Dire Fox Bear before they'd both fallen from the high branches of the tree. His wind powers had helped save his life, but the beast had turned into a meat pancake. He'd fallen unconscious from the pain of the fall and his leg. So naturally, the first thing Corvus had done on finding him was to feed him a pill in order to stabilise his life.

”Were my injuries really that bad?” Being unconscious before he could examine the wound personally, he'd just assumed it wasn't really that big a deal and that Corvus was on some guilt trip, hence his insistence on carrying Sun around like a fragile princess. He'd resented that! Still, if the wounds had been worse than he'd thought...

”That Fox Bear had sliced into your flesh deep enough that just a half nail more and the bone would have been visible,” Corvus answered him, honestly. Sun shuddered. Martial Artists were somewhat used to blood and injuries, but to know his leg had been hurt so badly could still shake him a bit.

”I wonder where that pill came from then,” Sun wondered aloud.

”Who knows,” Corvus shrugged. Sun sighed inwardly. He was aware that one heart Pills were a silver a dozen, worth very little and extremely common. They were available in pill shops throughout the common and cultivation worlds. Sun recalled that Leon had even traded them during the Five School Market Festival in those Jade bottles with cute, carved labels.

Ha ha! He thought. Wouldn't it be something if that miracle pill had been something Leon made! Then he could understand why Jin Li thought the alchemist worthy to stand by his side! But that would be too much of a coincidence... right?
