Seclusion

"It's time to go! Once the Primordial Imperial Clan sealed here discovers the True Dragon Divine Medicine is missing..."

Having obtained the divine Medicine Capital, Zhou Tong naturally didn't bother thinking about anything else and didn't want to stay here any longer. This Myriad Dragon Nest contained Imperial Weapon and even Great Sage- level artifacts; staying here would render any backup plans useless.

Zhou Tong couldn't guarantee that the Ruthless Great Emperor would protect him once he woke up.

"It's time to go!" Tu Fei was startled when he heard the words "Primordial Imperial Clan".

He dared not stay there any longer, and immediately asked Zhou Tong to lead the way to leave.

Getting in was difficult, but getting out was much easier. The group quickly left the Myriad Dragon Nest and returned to the Great Snow Mountain outside. They didn't dare linger in the Great Snow Mountain, so they quickly concealed their tracks and left.

The group traveled thousands of miles and arrived at a desolate place.

After carving out a cave nearby and setting up Array Patterns, Ye Fan finally took out his Myriad Mother Qi Cauldron. The Profound Yellow Qi within the cauldron was boiling, and the fragrance emanating from the True Dragon Divine Medicine permeated one's very bones.

"True Dragon Divine Medicine! I bet this is absolutely the only elixir that can be harvested in this world. If this elixir were to be taken out, it would surely drive all the holy lands crazy!" Tu Fei's eyes were burning with desire. He really wanted to pick this fruit, but he was also a little embarrassed.

Zhou Tong said calmly, "The True Dragon Divine Medicine has been nourished by dragon energy in the Myriad Dragon Nest for hundreds of thousands of years; its fruit can yield a maximum of nine drops of medicinal liquid without damaging the fruit's most essential effects."

Zhou Tong was already very experienced with this kind of thing; the White Tiger Divine Medicine was just like that.

Zhou Tong picked the fruit of the White Tiger Divine Medicine, extracted nine drops of medicinal liquid from it, and sealed the rest of the fruit.

Ye Fan examined the True Dragon Divine Medicine True Dragon Divine Medicine, then with a slight flick of his finger, nine drops of golden liquid dripped from it.

Ye Fan reacted quickly and immediately grabbed two jade bottles, one containing three drops of medicine and the other containing six drops.

He then carefully put away the jade bottle containing six drops of medicine, and handed another jade bottle to Tu Fei, saying, "Since we're all searching for treasure together, everyone who finds it gets a share. This is for you."

Then he simply picked the fruit of the True Dragon Divine Medicine and handed it to Zhou Tong: "If it weren't for you leading the way, I definitely wouldn't have been able to obtain the True Dragon Divine Medicine! You are the greatest contributor along the way, so this fruit is for you!"

"Ye Fan, you should think this through. This is a complete divine medicine, capable of giving someone a second life. You're just giving it to me like this?" Zhou Tong was somewhat surprised that Ye Fan would make such a choice.

Ye Fan laughed and said, "Your Bodhi Tree is still very young, but even so, you have given me such a large divine branch. How could I, Ye Fan, be such a stingy person? Besides, the true form of the True Dragon Divine Medicine is in my hands, and it will surely bear fruit in the future."

Aside from the kindness of the Bodhi Tree, Ye Fan also felt a sense of apology.

He had promised Zhou Tong all the sacred medicines from the Primordial Forbidden Land, but he broke his promise and consumed only a small portion of them. This time, he had hardened his heart and was using this True Dragon Divine Medicine fruit to make up for the slight regret in his heart.

Moreover, Ye Fan, unaware of the inside story, naturally believed that he had already gained an enormous advantage by obtaining the True Dragon Divine Medicine.

It was Zhou Tong who told him about the True Dragon Divine Medicine, it was Zhou Tong who led him on this treasure hunt, and it was Zhou Tong who helped him decipher the Array Patterns along the way. But in the end, the biggest reward was in his own hands, and he would feel guilty if he didn't give the fruit to Zhou Tong.

"In that case, I'll accept it!" Zhou Tong nodded, accepted the fruit of the True Dragon Divine Medicine, sealed it, and put it into his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

"Zhou Tong, you said back in the Tai Xuan Sect that as long as I mastered the Nine Secrets: Jie, you would give me another Nine Secrets. Is that promise still valid now?" Ye Fan suddenly asked.

Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan; so that's where he was waiting!

No wonder they were so generous in handing over the fruit of the True Dragon Divine Medicine to me directly.

Tu Fei, standing to the side, was surprised. "Zhou Tong, just how many of the Nine Secrets have you mastered?"

Zhou Tong ignored Tu Fei, looked at Ye Fan, and said, "I did say I would give you a secret, but I didn't say how I would give it to you!"

Ye Fan was taken aback. His first thought was that Zhou Tong wanted to back out, but then he realized something was amiss. Ye Fan asked directly, "How do you plan to send me off?"

"How about I take you to find the Nine Secrets: Xing"? Zhou Tong looked at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Tong with some disbelief. "This is the secret method you were talking about giving me?"

"Yes, the Nine Secrets: Xing is something you probably won't find in your entire life if I don't take you to find it!" Zhou Tong said calmly. "And without me, even if you know the exact location, you still won't be able to obtain it before you become a saint..."

"The Nine Secrets: Xing'..."

Ye Fan frowned, wanting to say something, but in the end he shook his head, revealing a helpless expression. "Okay, that's Nine Secrets: Xing! When will you take me there?"

"Let's find a time first!" Zhou Tong shook his head. "I'll take you there when I reach the Paragon of the Dragon Transformation Realm or even advance to the half-step Great Power level! I want to go into seclusion for a while. I've gained so much recently, I need to sort it all out..."

"Seclusion..."

Tu Fei shook his head and said, "Then I won't participate. I've been away for so long, spending two months in the Jade Pool Ruins and another two months in the Southern Region, without sending out a single message. I'm afraid if I reappear, my grandfather will search the whole world for me!"

"When are you going to find the Nine Secrets: Xing? Send me a message and I'll go with you!" Tu Fei also wanted to obtain the Nine Secrets: Xing, but he had some worldly matters to attend to and couldn't go with Zhou Tong and the others to find Nine Secrets: Xing.

"We'll talk about it later. The search for the Nine Secrets: Xing will have to wait until after the Jade Pool Stone Appreciation Convention," Zhou Tong shook his head. "I'll be in seclusion here for now. If you need anything, come find me here!"

"I also need to go into seclusion for a while, and I'll do it here!" Ye Fan said directly after a moment of silence.

He also obtained many fragments of magic in the Jade Pool Ruins, and from Tu Fei he also obtained some magic that was widely circulated in the Northern Region, such as the Embrace Mountain Seal.

Furthermore, his advancement to the Four Extremities Realm was somewhat rushed, and he still lacked sufficient understanding of the Dao Palace Scroll the Empress West Scripture. Therefore, Ye Fan urgently needed a period of seclusion to properly organize his thoughts.

Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan, and was also speechless.

Ye Fan wouldn't be trying to take advantage of me, would he?

Do you expect me to guide you in your spiritual practice?

"Then I'll be going now. When you go to find Nine Secrets: Xing, be sure to call me!"

After Tu Fei left, only Ye Fan and Zhou Tong remained in the cave.

"You're trying to ride on the aura of the Bodhi Tree, aren't you!" Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan, seeing right through him.

He then took out Bodhi Tree, its emerald green leaves tinkling and emitting a mysterious Dao Sound.

The Bodhi Tree, as the Enlightenment Tree, is the foremost among all Immortal Divine Medicine in terms of its function of inspiring wisdom; there is only one Enlightenment Tea Tree in the world that can compare to it.

"Hehe, how can this be called leeching off others? The True Dragon aura emanating from my True Dragon Divine Medicine will probably have a significant effect on your Dragon Transformation Realm as well! It's clearly a win-win situation!" Ye Fan generously took out the True Dragon Divine Medicine and temporarily planted it next to the Bodhi Tree.

Instantly, the aura of the True Dragon, along with the divine essence of the Bodhi Tree, permeated the entire cave.

"You don't have anything that can sustain the True Dragon Divine Medicine!" Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Ye Fan, and then took out another jade basin filled with the Divine Spring from the Primordial Forbidden Land.

Instantly, a root from each of the Bodhi Tree and the True Dragon Divine Medicine penetrated into the jade basin, drawing upon the Divine Spring Liquid to grow.

"Don't bother me anymore!" Zhou Tong said one last thing before going into seclusion.
