Chapter 95

"Long Dan?" Xiao Tianan was taken aback, then he tentatively asked, "Could you be referring to... the Dragon's Mystic Core?"

"Exactly." Yun Che nodded, then assumed a profound demeanor, slowly saying, "The Mystic Pulse is one of the greatest gifts bestowed upon humans by heaven. It grants humans the power to transcend the limits of their physical bodies. However, the existence of the Mystic Pulse must conform to the laws of heaven and earth and the natural order. Whether in a genius or an ordinary person, its growth and strength must proceed step by step, without violating the basic rules and order. Otherwise, it would be a defiance of the will of heaven."

"But if the Mystic Pulse is destroyed, it is no longer a complete Mystic Pulse, and it can be said... it no longer needs to follow the basic rules required for the growth of the Mystic Pulse. There is a saying, 'Break and then establish.' Now, my grandson Luocheng's Mystic Pulse has collapsed and is almost crippled, fulfilling the condition of 'break.' If we can obtain a Dragon's Mystic Core, then I have a way to directly infuse the power within the Mystic Core into the damaged Mystic Pulse. Afterward, by repairing the Mystic Pulse, we can allow Luocheng's Mystic Pulse to 'establish' again from a very high starting point! Among the Mystic Cores of Mystic Beasts, only the power of dragons is closest to human Mystic Power and is most compatible with human Mystic Pulses. Therefore, to achieve 'break and then establish,' only a Dragon's Mystic Core can do it, and the higher the grade, the better."

Of course, Yun Che's words were pure nonsense. Xiao Tianan and Xiao Luocheng were completely taken aback, as if listening to a fantastic tale. However, since these words came from the mouth of the Sacred Hand of Evil Heart, they felt it was perfectly normal that they couldn't understand, only feeling it was profound and incredibly powerful. But then, Xiao Tianan's face turned bitter: "In this world, there is such an astonishing secret technique... However, sigh, dragons are the supreme among all beasts. The lowest-grade adult dragon is at the level of a Heavenly Mystic Beast. A Heavenly Mystic Core is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold, and even the main sect doesn't have many. As for a Dragon's Mystic Core, it's even more out of the question. Luocheng's encounter with a senior is a heavenly blessing, but this Dragon's Mystic Core is truly nowhere to be found."

"Ha ha ha ha!" Yun Che smiled calmly and said, "Nowhere to be found? No, there is a place where it can be found, and it's even a Royal Mystic Dragon Core!"

"Wh... What? A Royal Mystic Dragon Core?" Xiao Tianan exclaimed in shock. What was a Royal Mystic Core? It was something the main sect could hardly even dream of! For their small branch sect, it was a legendary divine item. And a Royal Mystic Dragon Core could even be used to refine the legendary "Royal Divine Pill," allowing a peak Heavenly Mystic Realm powerhouse to easily break through the bottleneck and ascend to the Royal Mystic Realm!

"Where can it be found? If it can be bought, I will even bankrupt myself to get it," Xiao Tianan said excitedly. Although these words came from the mouth of the Sacred Hand of Evil Heart, Xiao Tianan still couldn't believe it. How could such a divine item that could shake the entire Cangfeng Continent appear in this small Crescent Moon City? If it really existed, Crescent Moon City would have already gathered storms from all directions.

"Four days ago, when I passed by the Crescent Moon City branch of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, I caught a whiff of the scent of a Dragon's Mystic Core, and its grade was as high as Royal Mystic. I have encountered high-grade Mystic Cores in the tens of thousands, and it was indeed a Royal Mystic Dragon Core. At the time, I also found it hard to believe and confirmed it several times at the entrance," Yun Che said, looking at Xiao Tianan's shocked face. "It is indeed strange for a Royal Mystic Dragon Core to appear in this small Crescent Moon City. However, since it comes from the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, it makes sense. This Royal Mystic Dragon Core should come from the main branch, and its destination is uncertain."

Xiao Tianan was stunned, his heart surging with emotion. Xiao Luocheng's eyes were wide open, and he shouted, "Father, Grandfather is the greatest divine physician in the world; he must not be wrong! You must find a way to get that Royal Mystic Dragon Core for the child. The child's life and the future of our branch sect depend entirely on Grandfather and this Royal Mystic Dragon Core."

The news that the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce had a Royal Mystic Dragon Core also shocked Xiao Tianan, leaving him with no room to doubt Yun Che's words. But his lips twitched, and he said bitterly, "Since it is recognized by the senior, it must be correct. However, a Royal Mystic Dragon Core is a divine item that a small Crescent Moon City does not deserve to possess. Perhaps the main branch of the Crescent Moon Chamber of Commerce is preparing to sell it to some great power and has temporarily placed it in Crescent Moon City. I am just the head of a small branch sect of the Xiao Sect. Even if I know the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce has a Royal Mystic Dragon Core, they would never sell it to me. Even if they were willing to sell... a Royal Mystic Dragon Core is something we could never afford."

"I naturally thought of this." Yun Che began to rummage through his pockets, searching for a long time before taking out a purple, shimmering Mystic Coin Card—the one given to him by the shop assistant when he first went to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce. He slapped it into Xiao Tianan's hand and said calmly, "About thirty years ago, the current head of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce was ambushed by his enemies. After a bitter battle, he was severely injured and nearly died. I saved him. He gave me this Mystic Coin Card, claiming that with this card, I could buy anything I wanted from any Black Moon Chamber of Commerce on the continent at the lowest price. For thirty years, I have never used this Mystic Coin Card, but I have always carried it with me, just in case. Since it was given by the head, it should be useful, right?"

Xiao Tianan, upon seeing the card, initially thought it was just an ordinary purple gold card, but upon hearing Yun Che's explanation, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the purple gold card in excitement. The head of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce was the supreme ruler of the business world on the Heavenly Mystic Continent, a superpower with boundless wealth and influence! A purple gold card given by him, along with his words... the value of this purple gold card was almost on par with the Royal Mystic Dragon Core!

"Senior, if this card was given by the head of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, it is truly too precious... Senior, to help Luocheng, you are willing to take it out. This great favor, I truly do not know how to repay it," Xiao Tianan said, holding the purple gold card in his hands, moved.

Yun Che chuckled, a hint of melancholy in his expression, "Luocheng is my grandson. As a grandfather, shouldn't I do these things... Sigh, it's also a way to make up for the regrets of the past in Luocheng."

"Luocheng, quickly thank your grandfather!" Xiao Tianan said loudly.

Xiao Luocheng immediately struggled to get up and gave Yun Che a deep bow, almost in tears, "Grandfather's great kindness, Luocheng will remember for a lifetime... Luocheng will definitely be filial to Grandfather in the future, or else, I will be struck by lightning and not tolerated by heaven and earth."

Yun Che's lips twitched, and he smiled with a look of satisfaction. He patted Xiao Luocheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Good, good, you are truly a good grandson. I don't ask for anything else from you. Just hearing you call me 'Grandfather' a few times every day makes me feel at ease... Sect Head Xiao, don't delay. Take this Mystic Coin Card and go to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce immediately. I am 100% sure there is a Royal Mystic Dragon Core there. As for how to get it, that's up to your skills. Also, take Xiao Baicao with you. He should be able to identify whether it is a Royal Mystic Dragon Core."

"Alright, I will call Elder Baicao and go to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce immediately!" Xiao Tianan said.

Without Yun Che's reminder, Xiao Tianan knew he had to go personally and as secretly as possible. If the news that Crescent Moon City had a Royal Mystic Dragon Core got out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Soon, Xiao Tianan called Xiao Baicao. Just as they were about to leave, Yun Che called them back and said, "The distance from here to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is not short. Moreover, the matter of the Royal Mystic Dragon Core is too significant. Even if we can buy it in the end, it will inevitably take a lot of time. During this period, I need to fetch medicine from the treasure vault according to Luocheng's condition. So, leave a key to the treasure vault with someone you trust."

"This..." Xiao Tianan and Xiao Baicao exchanged glances. Then, Xiao Baicao took out the treasure vault key and said, "Senior, the sect has only two keys to the treasure vault, which have always been in the possession of the sect head and me, never given to a third person. Currently, the only person we can entrust with this key is you. Senior, you can use this key to enter and exit the treasure vault whenever you need herbs or treasures."

Yun Che's eyes widened, and he angrily said, "Nonsense! How can the key to the sect's treasure vault be given to an outsider! You two are nearly fifty years old, how can you be so reckless!"

Xiao Tianan smiled and said, "Of course, the key to the treasure vault cannot be given to just anyone. However, although we have only known Senior for a few days, both I and Baicao are deeply impressed by Senior's unparalleled medical skills and noble character. We are most at ease entrusting it to you. No one else can we trust with it. During our absence, Luocheng's condition may change at any time, and we will need to trouble Senior to take care of it. If we can't get the medicine in time, it could delay the treatment... So, please, Senior, accept this key."

Yun Che still looked hesitant, but after a while, he sighed and took the key from Xiao Baicao, saying, "Alright. You two should return as soon as possible. For the Royal Mystic Dragon Core, take as much money as you can, even if it means taking all your assets."

Xiao Tianan and Xiao Baicao left with great excitement. After they had been gone for about fifteen minutes, Yun Che entered the alchemy hall and, following the familiar path, headed straight for the treasure vault.

He passed through the layers of guards without any hindrance. The guards not only did not stop him but also bowed respectfully when they saw him. At the door of the treasure vault, he took out the key, opened three stone doors, and stepped into the treasure vault filled with cold air.

Looking at the vast array of medicines, jade, crystals, and artifacts, Yun Che stood at the entrance of the treasure vault, his lips slowly curling into a smile...

After so many days of hard performance, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

A sect's thousand-year accumulation, what a huge fortune. If it all disappeared in one night, the entire sect would likely collapse...

Unfortunately, who made you provoke this disaster star!

If I didn't have a trump card, the one who would have been crippled would not be Xiao Luocheng, but me... I might already be dead!

Betrayal and revenge, coming to the New Moon Mystic Mansion to settle accounts? Hey... now, let's settle the accounts properly! Your thousand-year accumulation, I will take as compensation for mental distress... I will take it all!

Yun Che quickly walked to the rows of black wooden medicine cabinets, placed his hand on the cabinets, and with a slight effort, absorbed the herbs and cabinets into the Heavenly Poison Pearl. The absorption and storage capacity of the Heavenly Poison Pearl far exceeded that of ordinary spatial rings. Even though the cabinets were relatively large, it didn't take much effort. In less than thirty minutes, over a thousand cabinets had disappeared. Next, he moved on to the rows of cold jade ice cabinets...

The treasure vault was large, but the Heavenly Poison Pearl contained infinite space. Even if the treasure vault were a hundred times larger, given enough time, Yun Che could absorb it all into the Heavenly Poison Pearl.

[Recently, there have been some issues at home... I feel I owe a lot of chapters, so I will try my best to catch up.]
