Chapter 571 Jing Chen, a Man Full of Mysteries

"Jing Chen, this mountain range is..." The two were stunned for a long time before Yao Lao slowly spoke, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"This seems to be a mountain range specifically for growing medicinal herbs. It must have been created by this small world on its own," Jing Chen said.

After a brief chat, the two gazed at the mountain range, lost in thought and silence. Such a vast expanse of medicinal herbs, a mountain range nearly ten thousand meters high, with over ninety percent of its area covered entirely by medicinal plants—who wouldn't be bewildered?

The old man turned his head slightly and looked at the young man beside him. His silver-white hair reflected a dazzling golden light under the sunset, as if the whole world was covering the young man with a sacred veil.

Although Yao Lao knew from the beginning that the boy beside him was not simple, and could even be described as extremely mysterious. When he first met him, the boy was only a few years old, yet he possessed the power of a Dou Zun. Although he did not have the strength of a Dou Zun, his genuine Dou Zun aura was the most authentic thing about him.

Later, he secretly observed the boy, who was only a few years old, and found that his behavior and mannerisms were completely unlike what one would expect from someone that age. The old doctor had also suspected more than once that the boy beside him was a Dou Zun who had possessed his body to achieve his goal of rebirth.

But after careful observation, Yao Lao dismissed the idea. The boy beside him showed no signs of possession; this body originally belonged to him. As for why he possessed the power of a Dou Zun at such a young age, Yao Lao remained unaware. Thus, a boy shrouded in mystery appeared.

Later, due to some reasons, the boy suffered a severe backlash and had to recuperate for a long time. After his recovery, Yao Lao clearly felt that the boy after his recovery was not as good as the boy before his recovery. Although he still possessed the power of a Dou Zun, the difference before and after was enormous, much like the difference between a Dou Zhe and a Da Dou Shi.

Later, the boy found him and talked to him a lot. In the end, he decided to go with the boy. After following the boy, he realized that there were many things he couldn't have discovered while observing from the shadows. For example, this boy, although a Dou Zun, hadn't cultivated any techniques.

Then, on the day of Canaan Academy's admissions, four incredibly powerful individuals simultaneously rescued Jing Chen. At that moment, Elder Yao was completely dumbfounded. Although he didn't know who those four powerful individuals were or their strength, judging solely from their aura, they were definitely not ordinary.

Later, on the way out of Wutan City, through Jing Chen's introduction, they learned that the four super strong individuals were actually all Dou Di! It was practically impossible for four Dou Di to gather together! Putting that aside, the idea of ​​four Dou Di gathering together to save Jing Chen alone was even more unlikely!

What puzzled Yao Lao the most was that these four Dou Di powerhouses were actually his women? Jing Chen himself wasn't even a Dou Sheng, so how could he have four Dou Di powerhouses willingly following him? And how could they get along so amicably?

Even the old master Yao dared to guarantee that if Jing Chen spread the news that he had four Dou Di, where in the Dou Qi Continent couldn't he go? Even the Yunlan Sect, the only major sect in the Jia Ma Empire, was a place he could come and go as he pleased. Even becoming the sect master of Yunlan Sect would be a piece of cake for him.

However, Jing Chen didn't do that. Instead, he relied on himself, step by step, to get to where he is today. After sealing his powerful strength, he started cultivating from scratch, from Dou Qi all the way to his current Dou Shi level. How many hardships did he endure along the way? Yao Lao knew better than anyone. He could have relied on his background or powerful connections, but Jing Chen chose to rely on himself.

This was also what pleased Yao Lao the most. Even when he was almost killed by the Fire Spirit Serpent in the underground magma cave, he did not rely on the four Dou Di, but sought his own help.

One point that intrigued Yao Lao, yet he didn't investigate, was this: After helping Yun Zhi seize the Purple Spirit Crystal from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Jing Chen was taken away by her. Although Jing Chen was unconscious, Yao Lao was fully conscious. He clearly sensed that after Yun Zhi took Jing Chen away, numerous powerful auras appeared near the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave, exactly the same as those he had felt in Wutan City. A rough estimate suggested at least thirty of them.

Those thirty-odd powerful figures were undoubtedly Dou Di (Battle Emperors). Jing Chen had just been beaten half to death, and now, more than thirty Dou Di had descended upon the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave. The outcome was unlikely to be good.

Thinking this through, Yao Lao stopped reminiscing. He realized that Jing Chen was truly mysterious. The deeper you spent with him, the more secrets he revealed. If Jing Chen were a treasure chest, then every time you opened it, the treasure inside would be different. An ordinary treasure chest, once opened, would contain nothing more, but Jing Chen was different; every time it was opened, there were new treasures. Jing Chen was like an inexhaustible treasure trove.

A mysterious young man, a terrifying background, possessing immense and terrifying power, and unpredictable methods.

"Hmm? Elder Yao? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" As if sensing Elder Yao's gaze, Jing Chen turned around and asked.

"Hehe, little guy, I just feel that the deeper I get to know you, the more secrets you reveal." The old apothecary smiled, turning his gaze to the half-fallen sunset, and said softly.

Hearing this, Jing Chen smiled gently, also looking at the half-set sunset, and slowly said, "Maybe. Everyone who knows me says that. Perhaps that's why I've been able to survive and keep going?"

"Haha, you little rascal." Hearing Jing Chen's words, Yao Lao was also amused and burst into laughter.

"Master Yao." Jing Chen's voice came again, and Master Yao stopped and turned to look at Jing Chen. Jing Chen's expression was very solemn and serious. He looked into Master Yao's eyes and said, "Master Yao, please forgive me."

"What's wrong? Little one, what did you do wrong that I need to forgive you?" the old medicine master asked.

"Elder Yao," Jing Chen took a deep breath and said, "Forgive me. I could actually revive you back to human form right now, but the price would be far too high for me in my current state. Moreover, I am burdened by that ridiculous three-year agreement. Right now, strength is the most important thing for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone through so many hardships to search for a different kind of fire in this perilous desert to improve my strength. So, Elder Yao, please forgive me."

After patiently listening to Jing Chen's words, Yao Lao smiled, reached out and rubbed Jing Chen's head, saying, "Little guy, I'm already very satisfied with your kind heart. I've lived in a soul state for so long, a little longer won't make a difference. Even if I can't be resurrected as a human, I'm content with your heart."
