After absorbing all the information from the metal plate, Tang Chen left the secret chamber.
"Tang Chen, what were you doing just now?" Xiao Yi Xian asked curiously.
She had seen Tang Chen lock himself in the secret chamber as soon as he returned. For some reason, Xiao Yi Xian felt it was very likely related to her, so she asked.
In high spirits, Tang Chen beckoned to Xiao Yi Xian. "Xiao Yi Xian, come here for a moment."
After finishing what was in her mouth, Xiao Yi Xian walked over to Tang Chen. Seeing him smiling at her the entire time, she asked shyly, "What is it?"
"I'm going to pass something on to you. Don't resist."
Tang Chen raised a finger and touched Xiao Yi Xian's brow. Everything he had obtained from the metal plate poured into her mind.
There was quite a lot of information. To keep Xiao Yi Xian from being overwhelmed, Tang Chen left her only the portion she could access at present and sealed away the higher-level material, which would automatically unlock once her strength increased.
"This is...!" After receiving the information, Xiao Yi Xian covered her little mouth in shock.
"That's right. This is the Poison Master Inheritance of a Dou Zun expert. I think you'll really like it." Tang Chen introduced it with a slight curl of his lips.
"I like it. I love it! Thank you, Tang Chen." Receiving his confirmation, Xiao Yi Xian's face filled with delight as she excitedly threw herself into Tang Chen's arms.
Ever since Xiao Yi Xian learned that she had no talent for alchemy, she had been studying poison master knowledge. Gradually, she had come to enjoy it, but without a teacher to guide her, her poison master skills had improved very slowly.
With this inheritance, Xiao Yi Xian felt that she would be able to learn many things in the future and become a great poison master who saved lives and healed the wounded.
Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian had found her own path, Tang Chen was happy for her as well.
In truth, this alone was not enough to make Tang Chen so happy. What surprised him most was that the metal plate had also recorded information about a Heavenly Flame.
Twentieth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking: Nether Poison Flame.
In Tang Chen's mind, there were two ways to cure Xiao Yi Xian's Woe Poison Body.
One was the Poison Pill Method, which Tang Chen treated as a backup plan.
The other was to help Xiao Yi Xian refine the Nether Poison Flame. This was Tang Chen's preferred method. Though it was somewhat dangerous, the rewards would be immense.
With Tang Chen assisting her, and with his talent for suppressing flames, the success rate of this plan was still very high.
Once it succeeded, the Nether Poison Flame and the Woe Poison Body would complement one another and grow together. Xiao Yi Xian's potential would become terrifying, and her future development would far surpass that of the original story.
After being excited for a while, night had fallen, and it was time to rest.
The two young girls had tired themselves out playing today and had returned early to their respective rooms. Tang Chen had also sent away the maidservants.
Only Tang Chen and Medusa remained in the hall now.
When Medusa saw the burning look in Tang Chen's eyes, her face immediately reddened.
"W-where am I sleeping tonight?" Medusa asked shyly.
When they were alone, Medusa was no longer the decisive and ruthless Queen Medusa, but a little maid waiting to please Tang Chen.
"What do you think?" Tang Chen flashed a wicked smile and walked toward Medusa step by step.
"Y-you... what are you doing?" Medusa's gaze turned flustered, and her legs went a little weak.
She was like a startled little rabbit, retreating in panic. After only a few steps, Tang Chen had forced her into a corner with nowhere left to go.
"You."
Tang Chen pressed Medusa against the wall and kissed her alluring lips. His strong tongue forcefully parted her teeth as he greedily tasted her soft little tongue.
"Mmm, you taste like candied hawthorn." Tang Chen licked his lips and gave a mischievous smile.
"Huff... huff... you're... terrible." Medusa panted heavily, her face flushed and her delicate body limp, as she spoke weakly.
"There's worse yet!"
Seeing Medusa like this, how could Tang Chen restrain himself any longer? He directly hoisted her over his shoulder, gave her plump backside a hard slap, then used his movement technique to rush toward the master bedroom.
After setting up several isolation barriers, a fierce battle unfolded within the room.
Ten thousand words omitted here.
The next day, Tang Chen woke up in bed with the sleeping Medusa in his arms. Clothes were scattered everywhere, and the room was full of traces left behind by last night's battle.
Tang Chen got up and dressed. He still had to make a trip to the Misty Cloud Sect today.
Medusa slowly woke up. Seeing Tang Chen getting dressed, she hurriedly rose, intending to attend to him.
But as soon as she moved, she felt as though she had been struck by a truck, with pain coursing through her entire body.
"Forget it. Don't force yourself." Tang Chen declined with a wicked grin.
Hearing Tang Chen's words, Medusa naturally knew who had left her in such a state. Her eyes were full of shame and indignation as she looked at him.
After getting dressed, Tang Chen patted Medusa's plump backside and fled the room under her embarrassed, furious gaze.
Before leaving, he set down a medicinal pill that would aid recovery and said with a mischievous smile, "Take this. It'll help you recover. Rest well at home today."
Then he closed the door.
After Tang Chen left, Medusa held the still-warm pill, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly.
She placed it in her mouth in one bite, then even licked her soft tongue over her lips, as if savoring something.
After finishing his preparations, Tang Chen left his residence. In only a few breaths, he arrived at the Misty Cloud Sect.
As the strongest faction in the Jia Ma Empire, the Misty Cloud Sect certainly had an impressive presence.
The Misty Cloud Sect was built atop Misty Cloud Mountain. Its snow-white peak pierced the heavens, while steep stone stairs stretched from the mountain's foot all the way to its summit. By the halfway point, they already met the clouds, with mist swirling everywhere, as though one had entered an immortal realm.
Today, under Yun Yun's organization, the Misty Cloud Sect had made thorough preparations and welcomed Tang Chen with its grandest ceremony.
The disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect had all gathered. They all knew that an important figure would be arriving today.
Nalan Yanran was among them.
Since she had only just emerged from seclusion, she did not understand much about the situation.
She only knew that an important figure was coming today, and that this person was her teacher's lifesaver.
Just as Nalan Yanran was wondering what sort of person her teacher's benefactor might be—
A disciple pointed toward the sky and cried out, "He's here!"
Nalan Yanran looked in the direction the disciple was pointing.
Above the clouds in the sky, a figure strode through the void.
He merely took a small step forward, yet crossed an enormous distance in an instant.
He had been at the horizon only moments ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had arrived before them.
Upon seeing who it was, Nalan Yanran's pupils shrank. She said in disbelief, "Why does this person look so much like that man from before?"
From the moment Tang Chen appeared, Ge Ye had already vanished to who knew where.
Ever since learning that the Mo Clan had been destroyed, Ge Ye had lived in constant fear, terrified that Tang Chen would come looking to settle the score.
All that could be said was that he had been overthinking it. A nobody who was not even a supporting character had long since been forgotten by Tang Chen.
"What dense wind-attributed energy. This Misty Cloud Sect isn't only hiding rats—it's hiding something good as well."
Tang Chen curled his lips into a meaningful smile.
