Chapter 25: Medicine Clan, Medicine Flame!

Lu Xuan's thought stirred.

A cold white flame appeared in his palm, upon which terrifying spiritual rune seals flowed.

Bone-chilling Netherfire, a Strange Fire Seed!

Although this is merely a Strange Fire Seed, the power it contains is extremely terrifying!

If the seal is undone, it would likely produce a violent disturbance.

Beside him, Ye Chen was somewhat shocked.

Such terrifying spiritual fire!

He saw that the spiritual fire was covered with mysterious seals; even so, he still felt a palpitation-inducing icy cold force.

Next.

Lu Xuan put away the Bone-chilling Netherfire, and a pill appeared in his palm.

Heaven-rank Marrow Cleansing Pill!

Cleansing the essence and purifying the marrow, enhancing aptitude, allowing one to directly shed the mortal body and be reborn!

Ye Chen was shocked again, because he saw several pill halos on this pill.

Moreover, from the faint aura leaking from the pill, this pill is likely of extremely high grade!

He swallowed his saliva.

Lu Xuan put away the Heaven-rank Marrow Cleansing Pill, nodded and said.

"Not bad, this disciple-recruitment reward is quite potent."

Lu Xuan was very satisfied.

The System said: "Call Dad?"

Lu Xuan: "???"

After a moment, Lu Xuan gathered his mind, called Ye Chen over, and he said with a smile.

"Ye Chen, you are my second disciple. Now I will give you the initiation gift."

Ye Chen stared blankly for a moment.

Lu Xuan had already taken out the Heaven-rank Marrow Cleansing Pill, saying, "This is the Marrow Cleansing Pill; take it later, and I will cleanse your marrow and purify your bones to improve your physique!"

Lu Xuan placed the pill in Ye Chen's hand.

Ye Chen stared wide-eyed, looking at the pill, somewhat shocked: "One, two… nine pill halos! Master, what grade is this Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

Lu Xuan casually said, "It's just Heaven-rank, nothing special."

Ye Chen wore an expression of disbelief.

Heaven-rank pill!

Nine pill halos!

That is Heaven-rank Ninth Grade!

Holy shit?

The entire Ye Clan's reserves probably couldn't exchange for this pill!

Upon thinking of this.

Ye Chen declined.

"Master, this… this is too precious, I cannot accept it."

Lu Xuan smiled, "I also gave your Senior Sister the same pill; I can't favor one over the other."

Ye Chen's body slightly stiffened.

Senior Sister?

Senior Sister is a Great Emperor!

His heart was overturned by towering waves.

Ye Chen's face showed hesitation: "Master, but…"

Lu Xuan interrupted, "Accept it; there will be plenty more of this in the future."

Ye Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Plenty more?

His master isn't an Ancestor-level figure of the Grand Dao Sect, is he?!

Too terrifying!

Ye Chen had no choice but to accept the Heaven-rank Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Next, Lu Xuan took out the Bone-chilling Netherfire again.

"Hiss!"

A freezing aura instantly swept the entire room; it was a bone-piercing chill; just a glance made Ye Chen feel somewhat palpitation.

It seemed as if his whole body, from blood to soul, would be frozen.

Lu Xuan said with a smile, "This is the second gift I give you! Heaven-Earth Strange Fire Seed, Bone-chilling Netherfire!"

Ye Chen was directly stunned.

Heaven-Earth Strange Fire Seed!

The preciousness of this item, he had only heard of it from the Ancestor's mouth.

It is said that some Great Emperors waged earth-shaking wars over Heaven-Earth Strange Fire!

Lu Xuan explained, "This is merely a Strange Fire Seed; it can grow with you!"

Speaking, Lu Xuan flicked his finger, and the Bone-chilling Netherfire floated directly before Ye Chen.

Ye Chen curiously observed this Strange Fire Seed.

Now the surface is covered with seals and restrictions!

Lu Xuan said, "First store it in your spatial ring; later I will help you subdue it!"

Ye Chen nodded his head, extremely excited.

A supreme treasure!

Now everything his master gives him are supreme treasures!

Even a Great Emperor would be moved by such a thing!

He rubbed his eyes; all of this felt like a dream!

But it truly happened!

Lu Xuan smiled and directly took out the Great Dao Lock.

Imperial Weapon Great Dao Lock!

Dao follows nature, sealing strange power, sealing unknown power!

This is a chain several zhang long, upon which flow mysterious and profound Dao patterns; it is currently in a sealed state, yet a trace of terrifying qi still leaks from it.

Ye Chen's eyes widened.

This… what other supreme treasure is this?

The qi emanating from this chain exceeds his comprehension!

Even the old ancestor's quasi-imperial weapon isn't this powerful?

Ye Chen murmured, "Could this be the legendary… Imperial Weapon?"

His body trembled with excitement.

At this moment.

The system's voice prompted.

"The host's second disciple, Ye Chen, possesses a strange power within his body, and within his jade pendant resides a quasi-imperial remnant soul, constantly contending with that strange power!"

"That remnant soul has been struggling against the strange power, but seven years ago it was already somewhat depleted, so seven years ago Ye Chen's cultivation dropped inexplicably under the influence of that strange power!"

"But that remnant soul still resides in the jade pendant, secretly protecting Ye Chen, yet it can only absorb Ye Chen's spiritual energy!"

The voice fell silent!

Lu Xuan suddenly understood.

He understood.

No wonder Ye Chen's cultivation suddenly plummeted over these seven years.

That "old grandpa" in the jade pendant also had no choice.

He has been secretly protecting Ye Chen all along.

Lu Xuan asked, "Is this remnant soul a member of Ye Chen's mother's family?"

The system said, "How do you know?"

Lu Xuan's mouth curled slightly.

No explanation.

Lu Xuan turned his gaze to Ye Chen, smiling and said, "Disciple, are you ready? I will now use this spiritual artifact to draw out the strange power within your body."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen looked at Lu Xuan in disbelief, his voice trembling, "Master… is this really true?"

That strange power!

That is a power even the quasi-imperial old ancestor of the Ye family could not contend with!

Is it finally going to be resolved now?

He can cultivate again now!

Heavens!

Lu Xuan looked at Ye Chen's excited appearance and nodded.

The upcoming commotion might be a bit large; Lu Xuan waved his hand, and an ancient black formation disk directly fell around the room.

"Boom!"

With a thought from Lu Xuan, the sealing formation directly appeared in Ye Chen's room.

This is one of the foundations left to Lu Xuan by his master.

In the next moment.

Lu Xuan loosened a strand of the seal on the Great Dao Lock.

Since Ye Chen's strange power is not abundant, loosening a strand is enough.

"Hiss!"

Lu Xuan infused spiritual power, silently chanting the spiritual technique; soon, a torrential divine radiance surged from the Great Dao Lock.

In an instant, the Great Dao Lock locked onto Ye Chen, directly binding his body.

Ye Chen was slightly shocked.

Then, a mysterious power emanated from the Great Dao Lock, extremely profound, and began to devour a strand of the strange power within Ye Chen's body.

Black gas drifted out from Ye Chen's body.

For a moment, Ye Chen felt his mind clear, and his meridians seemed able to circulate spiritual power again.

This… has he recovered?

Ye Chen stared wide-eyed, "Is this black gas the reason my cultivation fell?"

The black gas is extremely mysterious, constantly transforming into terrifying ghostly faces and other cold shapes, appearing as if it should not exist in this world.

The Great Dao Lock flickered with an obscure vibration, emitting a Great Dao chant that cleared the mind.

Directly suppressing the strange power!

Within several dozen breaths.

The Great Dao Lock continuously absorbed the strange power within Ye Chen's body.

For a moment, Ye Chen felt his mind and body refreshed, and the familiar spiritual power fluctuations in his limbs and bones began to circulate again.

His voice trembled as he muttered.

"It's back."

"All is back."

At that moment, Lu Xuan reached out, and the Great Dao Lock flew back into his hand; he smiled and looked at Ye Chen.

"Disciple, the strange power within you has been eliminated. This chain is called the Great Dao Lock; I'll give it to you."

Ye Chen was utterly shocked.

"Even this supreme treasure is to be given to him?"

Ye Chen asked, "Master, is this an Imperial Weapon?"

Lu Xuan said lightly, "A one-star Imperial Weapon, so-so. The Great Dao Lock just happens to restrain strange power and unknown power."

Saying this, Lu Xuan gave a light push, and the Great Dao Lock flew straight into Ye Chen's hand.

Ye Chen's eyes shone with divine light as he gently stroked the Great Dao Lock, feeling somewhat dreamlike.

"He had just obtained an Imperial Weapon?"

"You know, even the Ye Clan Ancestor doesn't possess an Imperial Weapon!"

"It's merely a quasi-Imperial Weapon!"

Lu Xuan looked at Ye Chen's hesitant expression and smiled, saying, "Take it. However, the Great Dao Lock's power is too strong, so I've placed a seal on it; as your strength increases, the seal will be continually lifted."

Ye Chen accepted the Great Dao Lock, nodding and saying, "Okay, Master!"

Plop!

Suddenly, Ye Chen knelt again in respect toward Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan blinked, "Disciple, what are you doing this time? Get up quickly."

Ye Chen knocked his head three times against the ground for Lu Xuan.

"Master, I receive your bow! To me, you have granted the grace of rebirth!"

"I never imagined that one day I could gain such a harvest!"

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile, "These are trivial matters. Since you are my disciple, how could I possibly mistreat you?"

Saying this, Lu Xuan stepped forward and helped Ye Chen to his feet.

Suddenly.

"An abrupt change occurred!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly, the ancient jade pendant on Ye Chen's neck flashed with a bright light.

Then, an aged voice, as if just awakening from a great dream, asked vaguely.

"What happened?"

"That strand of strange power actually disappeared?"

The ancient jade pendant trembled slightly, transmitting an incredibly terrifying fluctuation.

Ye Chen was instantly stunned.

"Holy shit?"

"What the hell!"

"There's actually a person inside his neck's jade pendant!"

Ye Chen was very puzzled.

"Isn't this jade pendant left to him by his mother?"

"How could there be a ghostly thing inside?"

In the next moment.

A strange black mist emerged from the pendant, gradually coalescing into the shape of a gray-robed old man.

Ye Chen instinctively prepared to unleash the Great Dao Lock.

Lu Xuan gave a light smile, "He is not a strange entity!"

Ye Chen stared fixedly at the gray-robed old man, angrily demanding, "Who are you?"

The gray-robed old man lightly tapped his own head, "Who am I?"

"Oh, I remember now—I am Elder Yao Yan of the Medicine Clan."
