My Ares Son-in-Law

When Wang Chongshan heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning and was extremely anxious.

His eyes were instantly filled with anxiety, and his usually calm temperament was completely gone at this moment. He took a step forward and blurted out: "Dr. Xiao, is there a solution? As long as it can save my brother, I will do it no matter what the price!"

He subconsciously clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from excessive force, and fine beads of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead, flashing with anxiety under the light.

Xiao Chen nodded slowly, his eyes as deep as a deep pool, making it hard to fathom: "That ancient fragment does record a solution.

We need to use a special formation to guide the soul back to its place and pull your brother's soul, which is trapped by the spell, back into his body."

He paused slightly, his expression becoming more solemn, “However, this process is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, not only will you fail to save your brother, but you may also aggravate the damage to his soul.

Once the damage to his soul worsens, there will be no way to save him. Your brother will forever be trapped in that illusory realm of nothingness and will never wake up again."

His words were like frost, causing the temperature in the room to drop a few degrees.

"Dangerous?"

Wang Chongshan muttered to himself, his brows tightly furrowed, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

There was a look of hesitation and struggle on his face, and his eyes moved back and forth between Xiao Chen and his elder brother Wang Chongyue. It seemed as if there were two little people fighting fiercely in his heart.

On the one hand, he was deeply worried about his eldest brother's safety, and on the other hand, he was afraid of unknown risks. The two emotions intertwined in his heart, putting him in a dilemma.

Wang Chongshan was silent for a long time. The room was so quiet that only the heavy breathing of each other could be heard.

Time seems to freeze at this moment, and every second seems as long as a year.

Finally, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes became extremely firm, as if he had made a major decision concerning life and death.

He spoke word by word: "Try! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I can't give up.

I can't just watch my brother continue to be in a coma. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will give it a try!"

Although his voice trembled slightly due to excitement, the determination contained in it was as hard as steel.

In fact, deep down in Wang Chongshan's heart, he didn't just want to cure his elder brother.

His elder brother is older than him, but now he is as young and energetic as a boy in his twenties, which makes him full of envy and desire.

He often looked at his aging face in the mirror in the dead of night, feeling unwilling.

He also wants to become younger and have more energy to enjoy the good things in life and pursue the dreams that he had to give up because of the passing of time.

Even if it costs some price, he thinks it's worth it.

He fantasized that perhaps in the process of saving his elder brother, he could find the legendary elixir of immortality, allowing himself to remain forever young and regain the lost time.

Xiao Chen glanced at Wang Chongshan indifferently and sneered in his heart.

How could anything good come of something like this, which goes against the laws of nature and attempts to gain immortality and youth through unorthodox means?
True longevity and youthfulness can only be achieved through solid practice step by step, through going through countless hardships and obstacles, and through constant precipitation in the tempering of time, to reach that extraordinary state.

He sighed softly in his heart, feeling sad for the greed and ignorance of the world.

However, he didn't say anything.

Firstly, he had no reason to instruct Wang Chongshan. Everyone had their own ideas and pursuits, and he had no right to interfere. Secondly, he was not qualified to burst other people's dreams. After all, Wang Chongshan was still immersed in his own fantasy.

There are some truths that you can only truly understand if you experience them yourself.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen said, "I need some things needed for the formation. Let your people prepare them!"

His tone was calm, as if the thrilling conversation just now had never happened.

Immediately, he walked to the table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote down what he needed.

The items he listed were extremely rare and bizarre: Hundred-year-old peach wood, which must have grown for a full hundred years, experienced the baptism of wind and rain, and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, in order to have enough spiritual power to play a key role in the formation;

Lightning-struck jujube wood is jujube wood that has been struck by lightning. It carries the power of nature’s thunder and can deter evil spirits.

Aged cinnabar, after years of precipitation, becomes darker in color and contains a mysterious aura, making it an excellent material for drawing runes.

There were also several strange objects that even Wang Chongshan had never heard of, such as the Xuanming Stone, which was said to be produced from the abyss of an extremely cold place, nurtured in the darkness that never sees the sun, and contained the most yin energy;

The Jiuyou grass grows in dark and damp ancient tombs, absorbing the yin energy underground and emitting a strange light. Ordinary people feel creepy when they see it.

Wang Chongshan carefully took the list handed over by Xiao Chen, his eyes wandered over the paper, his brows gradually furrowed, and his face was full of doubts.

Most of the items written on the list have never been heard of or seen before, such as hundred-year-old peach wood, lightning-struck jujube wood, Xuanming stone, Jiuyou grass, etc. They sound mysterious and weird.

But at this moment, his eagerness to save his elder brother had already overwhelmed all his doubts.

He held the list tightly, his eyes became extremely determined, and he immediately turned around and shouted to his men beside him: "Spar all costs, prepare these things as soon as possible! If you can't do it well, you will all have a miserable life!"

I have to say that the Wang family's ability to act is still terrifying.

Although this is not the Wang family's base, Wang Chongshan has relatively limited manpower and resources here, but at his command, his men acted like wolves and tigers.

They asked around and searched in many ways. Some of them ran around the antique shops and herbal medicine stores in the city, while others used their connections and found ways to contact extraordinary people from all over the place.

For a moment, the whole city seemed to be in an uproar because of the Wang family.

With the support of Wang Chongshan's strong financial resources and connections, within just half a day, people came back with the required items to report.

At noon the next day, sunlight shone through the cracks in the secret room onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

All items were ready and neatly placed in a corner of the secret room.

Xiao Chen, wearing a plain long gown, walked into the secret room with a solemn expression.

He looked around, his eyes sweeping over each object and nodding slightly.

Then, he slowly walked to the center of the secret room and began to set up a Bagua formation.

I saw him quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something. Mysterious runes came out of his mouth, flashing faint light in the air.

As he moved, the outline of the Bagua formation gradually became clearer. Different objects were placed in the eight directions, faintly emitting a strange aura. (End of this chapter)
