Seeking Aid
What Chen Changqing found strange was...
His marriage to Hua Yao from the Medicine God Valley was officially finalized after he retrieved the medicinal herbs from the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm for Old Master Hua Xing.
Just as Chen Changqing hesitated, Yao Feng hurriedly approached him.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing came to his senses and smiled calmly:
"Brother Medicine."
Why are you here?
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Yao Feng didn't hesitate and quickly replied:
Brother Changqing!
"It's my ancestor."
"Didn't you go to the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm to retrieve some medicinal herbs for him before?"
"After returning to Medicine God Valley, the old man began his secluded cultivation to refine medicine."
"It should be ready to be refined soon!"
Upon hearing Yao Feng's words, Chen Changqing was taken aback, but then his face lit up with joy.
"Yeah?"
"Congratulations to Hua Xing!"
The ancestor mentioned by the Yao Feng was Hua Xing, who was also the grandfather of his betrothed, Hua Yao.
Originally, the marriage between Chen Changqing and Yaoyao had already been arranged by Hua Gu, the master of Medicine God Valley.
It was because of the Hua Xing that this unexpected turn of events occurred.
Of course, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Hua Xing. Those who proposed marriage to Medicine God Valley before were all people of considerable importance, and Medicine God Valley could not afford to offend them.
That's why the Hua Xing came up with the idea of holding Marriage Recruitment Competition.
Fortunately, Yao Feng arrived at the Shu Mountain Sacred Land in time to inform Chen Changqing, which allowed Chen Changqing to arrive in time and successfully pass the Marriage Recruitment Competition.
After that, Hua Xing also asked Chen Changqing to enter the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm.
He said that as long as Chen Changqing could retrieve some of the medicinal herbs he needed from the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm, he would no longer object to Chen Changqing's marriage to Hua Yao.
Chen Changqing agreed, and accompanied by Hua Xing, they went to the Immortal Mountain Secret Realm that had descended upon the Demon Domain Realm.
Within the Secret Realm, after a fierce battle, they successfully brought out the medicinal herbs needed by the Hua Xing.
The reason why the Hua Xing needed those medicinal herbs was to refine the Longevity Immortal Pill.
Although his cultivation had reached the Title True Lord, he suffered severe injuries in the Immortal-Demon War, and his life was on the verge of extinction.
Only by refining the Longevity Immortal Pill can one increase their lifespan.
Hearing from Yao Feng that the Hua Xing was about to be successfully refined, Chen Changqing was naturally delighted.
However, what Chen Changqing found slightly strange was...
Even after hearing his congratulations, Yao Feng remained somber, his tightly furrowed brows showing no sign of easing.
"Um?"
Seeing Yao Feng's expression, Chen Changqing glanced at him and uttered a soft question:
"Brother Medicine."
"Isn't it something to be happy about that Hua Xing is about to refine the elixir?"
Why do you still look so gloomy?
After hearing Chen Changqing's words, Yao Feng sighed helplessly, looked back, and then replied:
"Brother Changqing."
You're right.
"If our ancestor successfully refined the Longevity Immortal Pill, it could extend one's lifespan."
"This is truly a tremendous boon for Medicine God Valley!"
"Only..."
At this point, Yao Feng suddenly paused.
"Oh?"
Seeing this, Chen Changqing frowned slightly and said:
"Brother Yao, since you've come to find me, why be so hesitant?"
"Just tell me what it is!"
While saying this, Chen Changqing had a vague feeling that Yao Feng coming to see him at this time probably meant that something bad had happened.
"Call!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Feng took a deep breath before continuing:
"I suppose Brother Changqing already knows this."
"The Longevity Immortal Pill refined by our ancestors is a elixir that rivals the wonders of heaven and earth."
"On the day the elixir is completed, extraordinary phenomena will surely occur, which cannot be concealed at all!"
"And..."
At this point, Yao Feng's expression became extremely solemn, and he continued:
"It seems the news of our ancestor's alchemy has already leaked out."
"At that time, it will attract countless old monsters whose lifespans are nearing their end, as well as powerful beings stuck at their bottlenecks and unable to make any further progress."
"After all, that's Longevity Immortal Pill!"
"Perhaps even True Lord or Heavenly Monarch level being will intervene."
After saying this, Yao Feng let out a long sigh.
After hearing Yao Feng's explanation, Chen Changqing finally understood.
He knew in his heart that the Longevity Immortal Pill was extraordinary; it could not only increase Cultivator's lifespan, but also greatly help Cultivator break through bottlenecks.
It's no surprise that the completion of the elixir attracted covetous eyes.
These heaven-defying elixirs are enough to trigger a bloodbath.
Although Medicine God Valley has a rich history and is one of the Ten Great Sacred Lands for proving the Dao, its combat strength is far inferior to the other Nine Sacred Grounds.
Facing a being at the Heavenly Monarch level is indeed somewhat troublesome.
After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing came to his senses and looked at Yao Feng with a solemn expression, saying:
"Brother Medicine."
"So you came to find me?"
Chen Changqing frowned, looking slightly puzzled.
If this were Spirit Transformation or someone undergoing Tribulation Transcendence, he would still be confident in his ability to handle it.
But this Title True Lord, or even a more powerful Heavenly Monarch, is something he cannot contend with in his current state.
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's words, Yao Feng's expression turned slightly strange, and he asked in return:
What do you think?
Chen Changqing was stunned for a moment, then his mind raced.
After a moment's thought, he understood the purpose of Yao Feng's visit.
This is to get him to step forward and have the powerful figures of Mount Shu take action.
Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Yao Feng pursed his lips and said:
"Brother Changqing, you are the son-in-law of my Medicine God Valley."
"Medicine God Valley is in trouble right now, you can't just stand by and do nothing!"
"If we lose that Longevity Immortal Pill, and our ancestor's lifespan ends, the fate of our Medicine God Valley will be unimaginable!"
As he spoke, Yao Feng looked directly at Chen Changqing, his expression full of pleading.
After listening to what Yao Feng said, Chen Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and nodded, saying:
"Brother Medicine."
"I see."
"Please wait here at Evergreen Peak for a moment, I'll be right back."
Having said that, Chen Changqing didn't linger and quickly left.
Before long, he arrived at Seven Stars Peak.
Headmaster's Hall, Chen Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened them upon sensing Chen Changqing's presence, his heart filled with doubt:
"Strangeness."
"Why is this kid here again?"
"Didn't you just leave not long ago?"
After Chen Changqing returned, he immediately went to Seven Stars Peak to pay his respects to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan gave Chen Changqing some instructions and then sent him back to Evergreen Peak to prepare for the upcoming Seven Peaks Grand Competition.
Before Chen Yuan could think any further, Chen Changqing had already stepped into the hall.
"Disciple greets Master!"
Upon entering, Chen Changqing bowed directly to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan glanced at him slightly, puzzled, and said:
"My disciple, what brings you here?"
Chen Changqing didn't hide anything and told Chen Yuan about Yao Feng coming to see him.
Upon hearing what Chen Changqing said, Chen Yuan's expression suddenly darkened, becoming extremely solemn.
"The Longevity Immortal Pill?"
"That's the legendary elixir!"
"The Hua Xing master of the Medicine God Valley is actually going to successfully refine it?"
Chen Yuan exclaimed in surprise, looking somewhat incredulous.
