Chapter 94

The treasure chamber was quite large, spanning several thousand square meters. Yun Che walked straight to the area where the medicinal herbs were stored, stood beside a long row of black wooden drawers, sniffed once, and said directly, "The fourth drawer from the top, counting from the front, the two pieces near the right edge are the 36-year-old Blood Chrysanthemum Essence. Take one out."

Xiao Baicao was stunned on the spot. The labels for these black wooden drawers storing medicinal herbs were hidden on the topmost sign, and one could not see what was written on it without pulling the sign down. There were over a thousand types of medicinal herbs here, and even Xiao Baicao, who entered the treasure chamber the most frequently, only knew the general locations of most of the herbs. It was difficult to find them accurately without looking at the sign. However, this divine physician, standing at least two steps away from a large row of tightly closed black wooden drawers, called out the name of the herb inside.

Xiao Baicao stepped forward and pulled open the drawer, and indeed, it contained the Blood Chrysanthemum Essence. Although he knew that the "Evil Heart Holy Hand" had unparalleled medical skills, he was still greatly shocked and deeply convinced. He secretly sighed that a divine physician was truly a divine physician, and he would never reach this level in his lifetime.

Yun Che walked around the area storing medicinal herbs for a short while, gathering about 70-80% of the herbs he needed. He did not open a single drawer during this time, but he accurately stated the positions and ages of the herbs he needed, deepening Xiao Baicao's shock and admiration with each herb he fetched. As the chief elder of the largest sect's Alchemy Hall in Divine Moon City, Xiao Baicao bent over and followed behind Yun Che, carefully fetching the herbs according to his instructions. He did not feel any discomfort with this, but rather felt it was an honor.

"Almost all the herbs are gathered. Where are the spirit jades stored?" After checking the herbs, Yun Che asked.

Xiao Baicao, holding a black wooden box filled with herbs, walked to Yun Che and respectfully said, "The spirit jades are usually stored with other treasures, in the innermost part of the treasure chamber."

After saying this, Xiao Baicao led Yun Che to the depths of the treasure chamber. The deeper they went, the denser the spiritual energy became. The storage for the jades was no longer black wood but rather the much more precious and valuable Cold Jade, which was dozens of times more valuable than black wood. The Cold Jade cabinets in front of Yun Che numbered over a hundred, and just these hundred cabinets alone were worth a fortune.

"There's the scent of Purple Vein Celestial Crystal. The purity is the same as the one in the hall, it must be the same piece."

"Yes, it is the same piece. Our sect is a small sect, and having even a small piece of Purple Vein Celestial Crystal is extremely rare," Xiao Baicao nodded, his admiration growing even more. Medicinal herbs could be identified by their scent, but the spiritual energy of treasure crystals and spirit jades was not as specific. This divine physician, with just a sniff, not only identified the Purple Vein Celestial Crystal but also its purity... The longer he interacted with this divine physician, the more Xiao Baicao felt a sense of inferiority. He deeply felt that this divine physician was like a towering mountain, and he was nothing more than a clump of mud in comparison.

"This piece of Purple Vein Celestial Crystal was originally intended to be offered to the main sect at the end of the year. Due to the Young Sect Master's incident, it had to be taken out. Fortunately, with the help of the senior, not only was our Young Sect Master saved, but we also saved this invaluable treasure. The great kindness of the senior is truly immeasurable," Xiao Baicao said, very moved.

"Hmm? Do you have to offer such valuable treasures to the main sect every year?" Yun Che asked. He knew that the branch sects had to make daily offerings to the main sect, but Purple Vein Celestial Crystal was an extremely rare treasure, even for the four major sects. If they had to offer such high-level treasures every year, it would be too harsh.

"Not exactly. The main sect only requires no less than 100,000 Purple玄Coins annually. The main sect will grant us top-grade elixirs they have refined. The more we offer, the more the main sect will return, and sometimes they will even grant us high-level mystic techniques and high-level treasures."

One year... 100,000 Purple玄Coins? Yun Che inwardly sucked in a breath. This Xiao Sect was like a bloodsucker. But the branch sects had no choice but to pay honestly, otherwise, without the elixirs and mystic techniques from the main sect, the sects would gradually decline. If even the "Xiao Sect Branch" name was revoked, these branch sects would lose their backing.

Speaking of high-level treasures, Xiao Baicao remembered something and turned to point at a pale long sword in the center of the weapon rack, his face full of pride. "Senior, please look. This sword is named 'Tiger Soul.' It is the first great treasure granted by the main sect in recent years and the only Earth Mystic weapon in New Moon City. Even in the main sect, it is extremely rare. It is said to be personally forged by the chief elder of the main sect's weapon forging division. The sword body is infused with the mystic core and lingering soul of an Earth Mystic White Tiger, capable of easily cutting through mystic weapons below the Earth Mystic realm. When infused with mystic power, one can faintly hear the roar of a tiger. The Sect Master has always regarded it as one of the highest treasures in the sect, even hesitating to use it himself, hoping to present it to the Young Sect Master on his wedding day, to give him a boost."

The "Tiger Soul" sword was three feet and three inches long, entirely white, but not the lustrous white of jade, rather a strange ashen white. The sword body was irregular, slightly twisted, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to be made of pieces of tiger bones. Even from a distance, one could faintly feel a malevolent aura emanating from the sword.

And this was an Earth Mystic sword!

"Indeed, it is a fine sword," Yun Che stared at the Tiger Soul sword and slowly nodded.

"If even the senior says so, the Young Sect Master will surely love it," Xiao Baicao said.

After Xiao Baicao fetched a piece of extremely pure Red Spirit Jade and a Water Spirit Jade, all the required materials were collected. Yun Che did not show any interest in the treasure chamber and walked cleanly and neatly towards the exit... Throughout the process, his hands remained behind his back, and everything was fetched by Xiao Baicao, without him even touching the box.

After leaving the treasure chamber, Yun Che headed straight to the Alchemy Hall to refine the elixirs. Xiao Baicao, who was guarding outside, recounted everything that happened in the treasure chamber to Xiao Tianan, praising his ability to identify herbs through the cabinets and his "noble and upright" demeanor, which left him in awe.

Xiao Tianan, however, smiled calmly and said, "This is the demeanor of a great person. Moreover, with Huangfu He's level and experience, there might not be anything in the entire treasure chamber that he would find interesting, except for the Purple Vein Celestial Crystal. Sigh, to think I once doubted his identity as Huangfu He. Now, even if you tell me he is not Huangfu He, I would not believe it."

——

Unconsciously, Divine Physician Yun had stayed in the Xiao Sect Branch for three days. These three days, Xiao Tianan and Xiao Luocheng spent in shock and joy. Repairing completely severed meridians was originally impossible without Purple Vein Celestial Crystal, and even with it, it was almost impossible to do so without any flaws, and it would take several months.

But, it had only been three days, just three days! All of Xiao Luocheng's severed meridians had been reconnected, and their vitality was growing stronger, the degree of recovery so high that even though they saw it with their own eyes, they almost could not believe it.

Their reverence for this divine physician who had descended from the heavens grew even more. Xiao Luocheng's "grandfather" became more and more fluent and affectionate, even more so than calling his own grandfather.

These days, Yun Che went to the treasure chamber at least three times a day, always calling Xiao Baicao to follow, and each time he never touched anything, taking what he needed and leaving.

"Senior, look, my son's meridian injuries are becoming more stable. With the senior here, I believe that within a month, all the severed meridians will be fully healed... But regarding the mystic meridian injuries... What are the senior's plans?"

For three consecutive days, Yun Che treated Xiao Luocheng's arm and meridian injuries but never touched the ruptured mystic meridians. If the mystic meridians were not repaired, Xiao Luocheng would be a cripple. The longer it was delayed, the more difficult the repair would become. Although he no longer doubted the divine physician's skills, seeing him delay the mystic meridians made him uneasy.

Hearing Xiao Tianan's words, Yun Che pondered for a moment and said, "Sect Master Xiao, I originally intended to start treating his mystic meridians on the first day. But when Luocheng recognized me as his grandfather, I had to reconsider."

"Reconsider? What does the senior mean?" Xiao Tianan's heart stirred.

Yun Che turned his eyes, pinched his beard, and said to Xiao Luocheng with a gentle face, "My grandson, do you want to become a supreme strong person?"

These words made both Xiao Luocheng and Xiao Tianan's hearts leap, almost jumping out of their chests in excitement. Xiao Luocheng hurriedly nodded, "Yes! Of course! I dream of it!"

Yun Che slowly nodded and said, "From your current mystic meridians, your previous mystic power level was probably at the tenth level of the Mystic Realm. Such strength is considered good among peers in this small city. But the gap to becoming a supreme strong person is vast! In my life, I have seen countless young strong people, some of whom, at your age, have even reached the Spirit Mystic Realm... or even the Earth Mystic Realm!"

Yun Che's casual remarks made Xiao Luocheng and Xiao Tianan draw in cold breaths... Reaching the Spirit Mystic Realm or Earth Mystic Realm at sixteen or seventeen? Such people really exist? They are not human, they are monsters!!

"Repairing your mystic meridians is easy for me, but after that, you will have to start from the beginning of the Mystic Realm. However, with your grandfather here, there is a method to allow you to directly step into the... Earth... Mystic... Realm after your mystic meridians are repaired!"

Yun Che's last few words were like thunder in the ears of the Xiao family, leaving them speechless.

Sixteen years old... directly stepping into the Earth Mystic Realm! If anyone else said this, the Xiao family would definitely think they were crazy! But who was this person? He was the Evil Heart Holy Hand, the first divine physician of the Heavenly Mystic Continent! His strength over these few days left them speechless. Could his words be false?

Xiao Luocheng felt so happy that he almost fainted, his lips trembling, "Grandfather, is... is there really such a method?"

"Hehe, does your grandfather seem like someone who would speak without thinking?" Yun Che smiled kindly, "This method can only be completed by me in the entire world. To complete this method, two conditions are needed. The first is the rupture of the mystic meridians, and the second..."

"What... what is it?" Xiao Tianan stepped forward, unable to wait. Reaching the Earth Mystic Realm at sixteen was unprecedented in the Cangfeng Empire. If it were true, his son, Xiao Luocheng, would be the first among the young generation in the entire Cangfeng Empire, unmatched by anyone before or after... Just thinking about it made him tremble with excitement.

"A... Dragon Core." Yun Che said slowly.
