Chapter 58

Li Yunxiao said calmly, "He won’t give up just like that. There will be opportunities. For now, let’s focus on resolving the cold poison in Old Man Chen’s body."

Li Chongyang’s expression turned gloomy as he held the small bottle of Rongrong Pills left by Sun Zhengzong, and said sorrowfully, "Even a third-rank alchemist like Sun Zhengzong couldn’t do anything. What can we do? A fourth-rank imperial alchemist is far beyond our reach, let alone inviting one."

Li Yunxiao walked around the wooden tub and said calmly, "It is indeed difficult to completely remove this cold poison. I would need the soul power of a third-rank alchemist to refine the appropriate potion. However, if it’s just about suppressing it, my current level is sufficient."

His voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap in their ears, making their brains buzz!

"You, what did you say? What did you say, kid?" Li Chongyang grabbed his arm excitedly, disbelievingly saying, "Don’t bluff me."

Li Yunxiao said seriously, "To remove this extreme cold poison, Sun Zhengzong’s approach is correct, combining the elixir with the True Qi of a Martial King. However, his knowledge is shallow, and the medicine is not suitable. Moreover, the True Qi of the old man has issues; it must be the most yang and powerful force."

"Most yang and powerful force..." Li Chongyang said anxiously, "In the entire Tian Shui Kingdom, only Xiao Tongling, Zhongli Shan, and I are Martial Kings, and none of us follow the path of the most yang and powerful force. Where can I find a Martial King with such a force?"

Li Yunxiao smiled slightly, "I have someone in mind, but I don’t know if she will help."

Li Chongyang blurted out, "Who is it?!"

No matter who it was, as long as they were in the Tian Shui Kingdom, he would immediately go and bring them.

Li Yunxiao smiled, "Luo Yunshang, the leader of the Fourth Squad of the National Divine Guards. Although her strength is somewhat lacking, she does cultivate the most yang and powerful True Qi."

He had always been puzzled about how Luo Yunshang could cultivate such a male True Qi method. Later, he learned that she was a disciple of the Divine Sky Palace, and it all made sense. The Divine Sky Palace had a supreme secret technique that required a female body with the Nine Yang True Body to cultivate.

However, the probability of a female having the Nine Yang Body was almost one in ten thousand, so over the tens of thousands of years, only a few people in the Divine Sky Palace had cultivated this technique. But every person who did achieve it became a peak Martial Emperor, dominating the world.

Li Chongyang was stunned for a moment before saying, "This little girl indeed has the most yang and powerful True Qi. I don’t know how she cultivated it. Yunxiao, you’re not lying, can you really suppress the cold poison in Da Sheng’s body? Then I’ll go and bring that girl back right now!"

Li Yunxiao said, "Not yet. I need to start refining some elixirs to suppress the cold poison. But the herbs..."

Li Chongyang immediately threw him a key and said, "This is the key to the Li family’s secret vault. I’ve always kept it with me. Apart from what Sun Zhengzong extorted, the rest is inside. See if it’s enough, and if you need anything else, I’ll go and find it immediately!"

Hearing that Chen Dasheng could be saved, he immediately became excited. Even if Li Yunxiao asked for the moon, he would find a way to get it!

Li Yunxiao’s eyes lit up. Although he had never been to the Li family’s secret vault, as a powerful family in the Tian Shui Kingdom, they must have many valuable items. He was currently in dire need of resources to enhance his cultivation speed.

"Wait for my news!" He said this and left the basement.

Outside, many members of the Li family had gathered, discussing and sighing. Clearly, they were at a loss and no one could take charge. Seeing Li Yunxiao appear, they were all overjoyed and welcomed him.

Li Yunxiao made a gesture for silence and said to Li Baifeng, "Fourth Uncle, take me to the family’s secret vault."

"Secret vault?" Li Baifeng was surprised, "That’s a crucial place in the family, and the key..."

He suddenly stopped, staring wide-eyed at the small golden token in Li Yunxiao’s hand, and said joyfully, "You, you’ve seen the old man? Is he alright?"

Li Yunxiao nodded slightly, took out a set of keys, and tossed them a few times, "Don’t ask too many questions. Take me to the secret vault. This is what the old man instructed."

"Alright, alright!" Li Baifeng was so excited that he trembled, as if he had suddenly found his backbone. He hurriedly led Li Yunxiao to the secret vault.

Li Yunxiao sighed inwardly. The Li family’s clan members were too pampered and lacked training. Once the old man disappeared, no one could step up to take charge. It seemed that his father being stationed outside for a long time was probably Qin Zheng’s deliberate move.

The secret vault was locked by two massive bronze doors, with eighteen high-grade essence stones embedded in them, continuously releasing essence energy into the doors. Colorful lines were carved on both sides of the bronze doors, forming a protective array.

"Zhuque Divine Fire Array!"

Li Yunxiao was shocked, his eyes full of disbelief as he touched the bronze doors. The colorful lines indeed faintly outlined a firebird pattern. Essence energy flowed through the doors, giving a slightly burning sensation.

Li Baifeng was astonished, "Yunxiao, you recognize this array? How is that possible? The old man has invited many experts, and none of them could identify it."

Li Yunxiao carefully examined the surroundings. The secret vault was built into the mountain, with the walls made of sturdy Adamantine Rock. He asked, "How old is this secret vault?"

Li Baifeng shook his head, "I’m not sure, but I heard from the elders that this secret vault existed before the Li family established itself. It wasn’t built by us."

Li Yunxiao nodded slightly, dispelling his doubts. The Zhuque Divine Fire Array was a ninth-rank array, and it had been lost for a long time. The versions circulating on the continent were incomplete. If the Li family’s ancestors had the ability to set up this array, they must have been a superpower in the Heavenly Martial Continent, not just a small kingdom like Tian Shui.

He took out the key, a similarly ancient bronze animal-shaped piece, and gently inserted it into the keyhole. Immediately, essence energy flowed from the high-grade essence stones, circling the lines on the door, and the two doors slowly opened.

Li Yunxiao used his divine sense to feel the array’s power on the door, which was already extremely weak, indicating that it had existed for at least ten thousand years and might not last much longer.

After the doors opened, a long, narrow corridor appeared, leading directly underground. Oil lamps were placed every three meters along the corridor, each containing a night pearl.

Li Baifeng said, "The secret vault is a forbidden area of the family. No one can enter without the clan leader’s permission. I’ll wait for you outside."

Li Yunxiao nodded slightly and walked down the corridor. The path was not long, and he soon arrived at a spacious cave filled with various chests and shelves, piled high with materials and stacks of essence stones.

Li Yunxiao’s eyes flashed with excitement as he carefully examined the surroundings. His gaze did not focus on the resources but on the cave itself, his shock deepening.

"This... this..." He forcibly suppressed his inner shock and suddenly burst into laughter, "Ha, it’s actually a spatial pocket, such a large spatial pocket, it must be supported by some divine artifact. No wonder there’s a Zhuque Divine Fire Array guarding the entrance!"

He suppressed his excitement and began exploring the cave, muttering, "Where, where is the support for this spatial pocket?" His divine sense spread to the maximum, exploring the cave. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a corner where the chests were piled.

He threw out the essence stones and various treasure chests like trash, and soon a black, rectangular stone tablet appeared in the corner, standing quietly. The text on the tablet, eroded by time, was barely legible. The material of the tablet was severely worn, showing its age.

Li Yunxiao’s eyes narrowed, and his pupils suddenly curved into a strange crescent shape. The shape of the text on the tablet began to twist and change in his eyes.

This was an extremely powerful eye technique that Li Yunxiao had cultivated, relying on strong soul power. He was only a first-rank alchemist, and using it was extremely draining, with minimal effect. However, the image of the ancient tablet gradually became clearer in his eyes.

At the same time, the physical tablet seemed to sense something and suddenly emitted a faint light. Li Yunxiao’s pupils constricted, and a powerful backlash force invaded his mind, burning his soul!

"Ah!~"

He covered his eyes, screamed in pain, and was thrown backward, landing hard on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Li Yunxiao got up, opened his eyes slightly, and blood flowed from his pupils. Instead of being frightened, he laughed wildly, "Ha, it contains such powerful energy. I want to see what you really are!"

He cautiously approached the tablet, his hands forming various seals, and finally, his ten fingers formed a strange shape, emitting faint blue light. He shouted, "Illusory Dream, Reflection of Water and Moon!"

The blue light from his hands formed a water mirror, which fell onto the eroded stone tablet with a splash.

As the blue light passed over the tablet, it began to change, as if purified. The marks of time vanished instantly, and a new, translucent jade tablet stood on the ground, emitting a radiant light. Golden characters flashed from top to bottom.

Li Yunxiao’s pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in shock, "Boundary God Tablet!"

The three golden characters "Boundary God Tablet" on the jade tablet flashed continuously, the light blinding!

Li Yunxiao’s bloodshot eyes flowed with fresh blood, and he winced in pain, closing his eyes again.
