Chapter 267: Innate Sacred Body
The Provincial City Hu Family.
Hu Yidao had touched the threshold of the Martial King realm. After three consecutive days of secluded cultivation, he finally broke through to become a Martial King!
Just as Hu Yidao was feeling elated and his spirits were soaring, he suddenly received a call from Medicine Valley.
"Alliance Leader Hu, hello. I am Shishi’s godmother, Nangong Ziqing of Medicine Valley."
’Nangong Ziqing?’
’Godmother?’
Hu Yidao was ecstatic. Nangong Ziqing was Medicine Valley’s Saintess several decades ago and was now their Supreme Elder! A Martial Emperor expert!
A figure who ranked among the top in the entire Ancient Martial Realm!
For Shishi to have Nangong Ziqing as a godmother was a tremendous stroke of fortune!
"Elder Nangong, hello. Is there a reason for your call?"
"There is a matter I must discuss with you, Alliance Leader Hu. I must ask that you immediately annul the engagement between Shishi and Cheng Yuan."
Hu Yidao’s expression changed. While the opportunity with Medicine Valley was indeed great, he was even more optimistic about Cheng Yuan’s future.
"Elder Nangong, I know your Outsider Influences have rules about marriage alliances. If you insist on Shishi and Cheng Yuan breaking off the engagement, then I would rather Shishi not join Medicine Valley."
Nangong Ziqing sighed. "Alliance Leader Hu, you’ve misunderstood. I have no intention of making Shishi join Medicine Valley. It was Shishi herself who requested to end the engagement."
"Elder Nangong, please have Shishi tell me this herself!"
"Shishi is in very poor condition and cannot speak to you herself. To save Cheng Yuan, she chose to become a Tripod Furnace, transferring her Celestial Doctor True Essence. She was severely injured. Her Fire of Life is extremely weak, and she has less than two months left to live."
’A Tripod Furnace?’
’Transferred her Celestial Doctor True Essence?’
Hu Yidao’s face paled drastically. "Elder Nangong, you’re Shishi’s godmother! I’m begging you, you must heal her! You must not give up on her!"
"I will have the Old Valley Master personally intervene, though I don’t know what the chances of success are. Cheng Yuan is still unaware of the great sacrifice Shishi made. She doesn’t want him to live the rest of his life in regret and remorse, which is why she wants to end the engagement."
"’That foolish child... this is indeed something she would do. I understand.’"
...
After hanging up on Nangong Ziqing, Hu Yidao seemed to age several years in an instant.
Compared to his daughter’s life or death, all of his plans were no longer important! The future of the Hu Family was no longer important!
Hu Yidao dialed Cheng Yuan’s number. The call connected quickly, and Cheng Yuan’s slightly deferential voice came through. "Uncle Hu, is there something you need?"
"Xiaoyuan, your uncle shouldn’t have forced this engagement on you and Shishi. I’m calling off the engagement between you two now. Do you have any objections?"
Cheng Yuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief!
"Uncle Hu, I have no objections at all! Please rest assured, no matter what the future holds for Sister Shishi and me, I am still part of the succession for the Hu and Zhu Families! No matter what happens to the Hu and Zhu Families, I, Cheng Yuan, will not stand by and do nothing!"
Hu Yidao felt a small measure of comfort. "Good kid. Your uncle wasn’t wrong about you. You go on with your business."
...
After bidding farewell to the Dragon Lord and Dragon Head, Cheng Yuan boarded a Dragon Flame armed helicopter and flew straight to Luocheng.
At dusk, the armed helicopter arrived at Villa No. 1, landing slowly on its lawn.
Xiaozao and Cheng Da were on high alert at once. Soon, the two of them realized the person who had arrived was Cheng Yuan and immediately relaxed.
"Master, you’re finally back? While you were gone, Xiaozao’s cultivation has been so slow!"
Cheng Yuan flicked his finger, sending a Qi Enhancement Pill shooting toward Xiaozao. "Xiaozao, this is a Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pill. See if it helps you."
Xiaozao extended two root-like tendrils, dragged the Three Patterns Qi Enhancement Pill into the soil, and rapidly absorbed the energy within!
Xiaozao’s aura surged!
In just a moment, Xiaozao’s aura broke through the peak of the Divine Realm and entered the ranks of Grandmaster!
To the side, Cheng Da pouted aggrievedly. "Master, you can’t play favorites. I want one too."
"Get lost. I don’t know how to refine Yin Pills yet. How about this: I’ll set up a Spirit Gathering Array later to help you cultivate."
"Thank you, Master!"
Little Silkworm poked its head out from Cheng Yuan’s embrace, blinking its shifty little eyes as it stared at Cheng Da, looking as if Cheng Da would be very tasty.
Cheng Yuan rapped Little Silkworm on the head and scolded it, "Cheng Da is my servant. You are not to get any ideas about him. Memorize the auras of everyone in Villa No. 1. You are not allowed to harm anyone. Understand?"
"Understood," Little Silkworm’s voice appeared in Cheng Yuan’s mind.
"Master, what is this little white and chubby fellow?" Cheng Da sidled closer, clearly having taken a liking to Little Silkworm.
"This thing is a Nine-Change Divine Silkworm. A moment ago, it almost swallowed the Essence of your Divine Soul."
Cheng Da subconsciously shrank back and took a large step away, putting some distance between himself and Little Silkworm.
Cheng Yuan pointed to the Alchemy Furnace on the armed helicopter and said, "Cheng Da, move the Alchemy Furnace to my training room, and while you’re at it, get some coal."
"Yes!"
...
Cheng Hongbing was the type who couldn’t sit still. Even though Cheng Yuan had bought him a luxury car, he still went out driving every day and hadn’t returned yet.
Wu Xiuli was taking care of Shen Youchu, so Villa No. 1 seemed quite empty.
Cheng Yuan went straight to Shen Youchu’s room. Seeing that his mom had lost several pounds over the last few days, he felt a pang of heartache.
"Mom, you need to get some proper rest. Youchu will get better soon."
Wu Xiuli grabbed Cheng Yuan’s arm. "Xiaoyuan, did you get the medicinal ingredients? Seeing Youchu like this... Mom is just so worried."
"All the ingredients are ready. I’m going to start the alchemy now."
"Okay, go on."
Cheng Yuan strode toward the training room. Cheng Da had already set up the Alchemy Furnace, and Cheng Yuan began the alchemy process.
Thanks to his experience refining the Qi Enhancement Pill, the process of creating the Celestial Witch Foundation Establishment Pill went quite smoothly.
Half an hour later, Cheng Yuan opened the lid of the Alchemy Furnace. Three Celestial Witch Foundation Establishment Pills leaped out, and Cheng Yuan quickly collected them in a Jade Bottle.
The Celestial Witch Foundation Establishment Pill truly lived up to its name as a Divine Pill refined from two Divine Medicines. Just smelling it made Cheng Yuan feel completely at ease. More impressively, Cheng Da, who was standing to the side, had many of his hidden injuries healed and actually broke through directly to the Grandmaster realm!
Little Silkworm also kept twitching its tiny nose, and its chubby body grew a size larger.
Cheng Yuan didn’t delay, striding quickly toward Shen Youchu’s room.
"Mom, the Celestial Witch Foundation Establishment Pill is ready. Please step aside."
Wu Xiuli quickly moved out of the way, looking at Shen Youchu with a worried expression, afraid that something might go wrong.
Cheng Yuan gently gripped Shen Youchu’s jaw, opening her small mouth, and quickly poured a Celestial Witch Foundation Establishment Pill inside.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Medicinal Power of the Celestial Witch Foundation Establishment Pill instantly dissolved!
Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil to look.
He saw the incomparably potent Medicinal Power instantly envelop Shen Youchu’s damaged heart meridians, which began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What surprised Cheng Yuan the most was that Shen Youchu’s Innate Lifeless Vein was also repaired, restoring her Innate Body!
’No, that’s not right.’
Shen Youchu’s current body was no longer an ordinary Innate Body; it faintly emanated a trace of a sacred aura!
This was an Innate Sacred Body!
Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but gasp!
In terms of physique alone, Shen Youchu had now surpassed him!
