BUZZ!
The Storage Bag glimmered, and three types of Spiritual Medicine fell into his palm. In an instant, the Spiritual Medicine was crushed and absorbed into his hand.
When Long Chen pressed his palm against Long Dou’s chest, a stream of black and white energy mixed with the Spiritual Medicine flowed directly into Long Dou’s body. His injuries began to heal at a visible rate.
In less than a hundred breaths, Long Dou’s breathing went from weak to steady. His complexion, once as pale as paper, gradually regained a healthy color.
"Young master, your innate talent is simply terrifying!" Xia Duoduo exclaimed, overwhelmed with shock. "Not only is your potential on the Martial Path boundless, but your talent in the Alchemy Dao is equally unparalleled. Even your aptitude for medicine is so astounding!"
With such a brief period of study and comprehension, he had managed to master both the Alchemy Dao and medical skills, first refining the Gold Pattern Pill and then awakening the Divine Demon Eye! Long Chen’s innate talent was truly astounding.
"Do you know how to repair shattered Emperor Meridians?" Long Chen suddenly asked.
"The Hall Master instructed me that only you, young master, can repair Emperor Meridians," Xia Duoduo said. "This is because you possess the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body, and only you can cultivate the Ancestral Dragon King’s Blood!"
"My mother instructed you?" Long Chen’s gaze flickered. So Mother knew about Father’s damaged Emperor Meridians all along and even instructed Xia Duoduo to come and tell me.
"Yes," Xia Duoduo said respectfully. "In fact, everything concerning the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body and the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula was personally decreed by the Hall Master. Otherwise, how would I know about the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula? In this world, only the Hall Master of the Dragon Hall is qualified to cultivate it. The reason you can, young master, is because the cultivation technique awakened along with your Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body."
Xia Duoduo paused before continuing, "The Hall Master said this herself. She forbade me from interfering with your awakening, even if it meant you might never awaken in your lifetime!"
Hearing this, Long Chen understood completely. Everything was connected to his mother.
"What is the Ancestral Dragon King’s Blood?" Long Chen asked, continuing to channel the Divine Demon Force to treat his father’s injuries while simultaneously using the Divine Demon Eye to observe his condition. At this rate, he would be fully healed within another hundred breaths.
"The Hall Master instructed that the Dragon Blood cultivated by the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body is the blood of the Ancestral Dragon. However, only when you break through to the War King Realm, young master, can you cultivate the Ancestral Dragon King’s Blood!"
At this, Xia Duoduo remarked with a sigh, "I initially thought the Hall Master’s order was in case your Emperor Meridians were damaged one day, young master. I never expected it was for the master."
Long Chen was deeply moved. Mother wasn’t only thinking of me, but of my father as well.
Long Chen’s gaze grew resolute. Once I reach the War King Realm, I can cultivate the Ancestral Dragon King’s Blood... Once I help Father repair his Emperor Meridians, even though he’s nearly forty, he’ll surely become a peerless powerhouse! After all, the Emperor Meridians were the strongest Martial Vein in the world!
"Young master, someone’s coming!" Xia Duoduo suddenly warned.
Long Chen’s pupils contracted. "It must be Xin’er!"
Sure enough, Long Xin’s voice, choked with sobs, echoed from above.
"Brother Chen, where on earth are you? Father is forcing me into an engagement with Su Jun and doesn’t care whether I agree or not! And Cousin Long Yu!
"He actually tried to tie me up and send me to Su Jun! If I hadn’t run so fast, I’m afraid I... *sob*...
"And that bitch Su Miaoyu! She... she actually hit me yesterday! Right in front of Father and Uncle, and neither of them helped me! Waaah!"
Hearing this while treating Long Dou, Long Chen was overcome with a towering rage as veins bulged on his forehead.
Su Miaoyu! Su Jun!
He was especially furious at the actions of Second Elder Long Hen and, most of all, Long Yu, the son of Great Elder Long Tian.
"Xin’er, don’t be afraid! I’m here! I’ll go and slay Su Jun later, and I’ll make everyone who bullied you pay the price!" After speaking, Long Chen took a deep breath and forced himself to focus on healing Long Dou.
But his trembling body betrayed a rage that was difficult to suppress.
"Brother... Brother Chen?" Long Xin’s crying stopped abruptly, and she began to scramble frantically down towards them.
"Young master, it’s not just your sister!"
As soon as Xia Duoduo spoke, a disdainful voice drifted down from above.
"Slay me? Heh, big words!"
A young man in a purple robe descended with his hands clasped behind his back, a cold sneer on his face. He was Su Jun, son of the Su Family’s Great Elder.
"If Long Yu hadn’t led me here, I never would have known the Long Family had a secret underground chamber, let alone that you, Long Chen, were hiding in it!" Su Jun said coldly.
"So what if you know? You dare come down here to face me alone? You must be tired of living!"
Long Chen was seething with killing intent, wishing he could tear Su Jun to pieces that very instant. However, he was at the final, crucial stage of his father’s treatment; all his progress would be lost if he were interrupted.
All I can do now is endure and stall for time!
