Even though pill path was not specialized in offense, it was still a new path that Rising Cloud City could not guard against. Ruan Dan also uses the killer move life-saving recovery pill after being beaten unconscious. ch. 2179 After the Crazed Demon Cave battle, Fang Yuan counts Ruan Dan’s pill path among Heavenly Court methods he now understands.
