“Xiaofeng, you’re back.” The first to see Liu Guanfeng return was Liu Yongmin, who had come out to cook.
“Yeah, Uncle, I just arrived. Have you seen my Four Masters?”
“They should still be in the house.”
“Alright, Uncle, you keep busy. I’ll go check on my master.” Liu Guanfeng headed straight for Qinglong's room.
After knocking on the door, he said, “Master, I’m back.”
“Come in,” came Qinglong's voice from inside.
Liu Guanfeng pushed the door open and bowed upon seeing Qinglong sitting in a chair. “Master, I’m back.”
Qinglong looked at Liu Guanfeng. “It’s good that you’re back. How did the mission go? Did you encounter any dangers?”
“It was fine. I just got hit by a Ninth-Stage Tyrannosaurus Rex while escaping at the end, but fortunately, I survived.”
“That’s good to hear. You can go now and hand over the Dragon Fruit to your Vermilion Bird Master. The others have returned as well; you’re the last one back. After delivering the Dragon Fruit, you should catch up with them. I’m sure you all missed each other after a few days apart. Go on.”
“Master, then I’ll take my leave.”
After exiting Qinglong's room, Liu Guanfeng saw that Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and the other three youths were already waiting in the courtyard. He waved at them, saying, “I’ll find you guys later.” After that, Liu Guanfeng knocked on Zhuque's door and entered after receiving permission, handing over the Dragon Fruit he had obtained before coming back out.
As soon as the four youths saw Liu Guanfeng come out, they immediately surrounded him. Bao Rui excitedly asked, “Third Brother, when did you get back?”
"Just got home and handed over the mission items to the Vermilion Bird Master. How did your mission go?"
"Not bad, we completed several tasks. Since Third Brother has also finished, my father can regain Mount. That's great," Iron Bull said directly.
Copper Bull turned to look at his father: "I haven't seen him this happy in a long time."
Liu Guanfeng patted Copper Bull on the shoulder: "Don't worry, brother, everything will be fine."
Copper Bull nodded: "Yeah, I believe in Third Brother. By the way, Third Brother, was it easy to get that Dragon Fruit?"
"It was okay. When I got the Dragon Fruit, I just had XP distract three Eighth Rank Earth Dragons while I climbed a tree to steal the fruit. I didn't confront the Earth Dragons directly; if I had, I probably wouldn't have made it back alive. How about you guys?"
Bao Rui said, "We thought the mission wouldn't be too difficult, but when we got there, we found we were facing Eighth Rank magical beasts. Fortunately, with the techniques taught by our master and our surprise attacks, we managed to escape with serious injuries but still obtained the items. What puzzled us was that one day they looked half-dead, but by the next day they seemed completely uninjured."
"Yeah, me too. I thought I was going to die and wouldn't make it back, but unexpectedly my injuries were all healed by the next day," Copper Bull said, scratching his head.
Iron Bull nodded in agreement, having experienced something similar.
Liu Guanfeng thought for a moment and realized he was in the same situation. However, he quickly considered that this must have been arranged by Azure Dragon's Four Masters to prevent any accidents from happening to them.
"That's good to hear. Since everyone is back, I'm sure you all gained quite a bit."
The four boys nodded in agreement.
"Since that's the case, you all understand that there are still many areas where you need improvement. From now on, we must train even harder. I need to become stronger so we can avenge our fallen family members."
"Don't worry, Third Brother; we won't let you down."
After Liu Guanfeng and the Five Boys returned from their training, their dedication to learning intensified. They would wake up before dawn every day and practice martial arts until it was too dark to see.
More than a month after their return, Liu Guanfeng successfully cultivated the fifth layer of the Chaos Initial Skill's Mind Method, officially earning the title of an Intermediate Knight. He had also practiced the Heavenly Gang Spear Technique up to the twentieth form and the Earthly Destruction Hammer Technique to the eighteenth form.
The others also made significant progress; Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and Iron Bull each advanced to Junior Knights, while Dai had become a low-ranking Junior Knight.
One day, after not seeing her for over a month, Zhuque reappeared before everyone, holding a red porcelain vial in her hand.
Seeing Zhuque, Liu Guanfeng rushed over. "Vermilion Bird Master, does this vial contain the elixir that can allow my Uncle to regain his Mount?" Liu Guanfeng was very concerned about this elixir, as it could potentially help his father regain his Mount.
Zhuque nodded. "After thirty-six days, I finally managed to refine this elixir."
"Vermilion Bird Master, how many elixirs do we have here?"
"I refined a total of five elixirs. Is there someone else who really needs this kind of elixir?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "Vermilion Bird Master, to be honest, my father has lost both of his Mounts, so I hope that if possible, he can also regain his Mounts."
"Oh, I see. Don't worry. Although there are only five elixirs, each one is enough to activate two formations. This means that one person who consumes this elixir can regain two Mounts."
"Then I will thank you on behalf of my Father." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng knelt before Zhuque and bowed three times.
Zhuque helped Liu Guanfeng up and shook her head. "You silly child, since you call me Master, why are you being so polite? Shouldn't your father's matter be something I take care of?"
"Copper Bull, go fetch your father."
"Understood," Copper Bull replied and went inside to find his father. After a while, Liu Yongmin came out with Copper Bull. From his expression, it was clear that he was very unsettled. He had thought he would be a warrior for life but never expected that today he could finally return to being a knight.
Liu Yongmin bowed to the Vermilion Bird and said, "Hello, Lady Vermilion Bird."
"Well, extend your hand," Vermilion Bird replied as she opened a porcelain bottle and poured out a pill. The pill was yellow, spherical in shape, and emitted a strong medicinal fragrance into the air.
Seeing the pill in his hand, tears streamed down Liu Yongmin's face uncontrollably. "Thank you. You could say you have given me a second chance at life." After saying this, Liu Yongmin attempted to kneel before Vermilion Bird but was helped up by her.
Meanwhile, Copper Bull pulled Iron Bull over and knelt down on the ground. The two brothers bowed three times to Vermilion Bird on behalf of their father. Copper Bull looked up at her and said, "Vermilion Bird Master, thank you."
Vermilion Bird shook her head helplessly. "Alright, you've finished bowing; why aren't you standing up?"
"Liu Yongmin, I haven't thought of a name for this pill yet, but you just need to know that when you take it, you must find someone with deep internal strength to assist you. When I was refining the pill, it was already prepared with Azure Dragon helping to neutralize the medicinal impact. I believe it won't be long before you can re-establish your contract with your mount."
Liu Guanfeng thought for a moment. "Vermilion Bird Master, since this pill doesn't have a name yet, I have thought of one; what do you think?"
"Go ahead."
"This pill can enable a warrior who cannot contract with their mount to regain the ability to form a knight contract. So how about we call it the Knight Restoration Pill?"
Vermilion Bird nodded. "I didn't expect you to have quite a few ideas in that head of yours; that's a good name. From now on, this pill will be called the Knight Restoration Pill. Liu Yongmin, you should go to Azure Dragon's room now; I already spoke with him when I came out earlier, and he said you could go in and take the medicine."
"Thank you, Lady Vermilion Bird." After bowing again to her, Liu Yongmin turned and walked into Azure Dragon's room. At this point, Liu Guanfeng, Copper Bull, and Iron Bull had completely lost interest in practicing martial arts and were quietly waiting at the door of Azure Dragon's room.
Time passed slowly from morning to noon and then to evening; they even forgot to eat lunch and dinner. Suddenly, bursts of earthy yellow light emanated from within Azure Dragon's room. Gradually, the yellow light faded away until it finally disappeared.
After a while, the door to Azure Dragon's room opened, but it was not Liu Yongmin who came out; it was Azure Dragon. When he saw Five Boys waiting outside the door, he smiled slightly and said, "Xiaofeng, take them back first; Liu Yongmin cannot come out today."
"Azure Dragon Master, why can't my father come out? Does that mean the pill was not successful?"
Azure Dragon shook his head and said, "Of course not. On the contrary, the elixir was very successful. It's just that this elixir has a very strong potency, which not only broke through two formations but also left some residual medicinal power. These residual effects need Liu Yongmin to absorb them slowly by himself, and how long it takes will depend on Liu Yongmin's own strength."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "Thank you, Azure Dragon Master. We'll head back to sleep now."
Iron Bull shook his head, "No, I want to stay here and wait for my father to wake up."
Liu Guanfeng glanced at Iron Bull, "My silly brother, haven't you understood Azure Dragon Master's words? My Uncle's current task is not to break through the formation but to digest the remaining medicinal power. There won't be any problems. If he does well, he might even have a breakthrough in strength. That might take more than a day or two; do you really want to wait here the whole time?"
Iron Bull suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is. Then I'll head back first. Thank you, Azure Dragon Master."
Azure Dragon smiled, "Alright, you all go back."
Liu Yongmin stayed in Azure Dragon's room for four days. It wasn't until the evening of the fourth day that Liu Yongmin walked out of the room. Seeing his father safe and sound, Copper Bull and Iron Bull excitedly ran to their father, asking questions.
Liu Guanfeng approached Liu Yongmin and asked, "Uncle, how do you feel?"
Liu Yongmin nodded, "I've never felt better. Not only can I re-establish a contract with Mount, but my strength has also increased from a low-level Advanced Knight to a mid-level Advanced Knight. With a bit more effort, I can soon reach a high-level Advanced Knight. The name Knight Restoration Pill is indeed fitting."
"Uncle, congratulations! Are you going to cook us a delicious meal now? You've been cultivating all this time while Copper Bull has been cooking for us; we really miss your cooking," Liu Guanfeng said with eager eyes looking at his Uncle.
Liu Yongmin laughed heartily, "No problem! You all wait here; I'll go prepare some of my signature dishes for you hungry cats."
