At eighty, the Holy Sect's enchanting woman aided in achieving longevity.

"Father, although my meridians have healed, what should we do about my shattered dantian?"

After performing the traditional rites of paying homage to his father, Li Han, lying on the couch, had an eager glint in his eyes.

For a young master of a prestigious family who is single-mindedly pursuing martial arts, the destruction of his dantian is undoubtedly more painful than losing his life.

Chen Changsheng sat upright in the grand chair, stroked his long beard affectionately, and smiled, "Han'er, don't be anxious."

With me here, what difficulty is there in dealing with a mere crack in the dantian?

I possess an ancient formula called the Nine-Turn Heaven-Renewing Pill. With the aid of a specially prepared medicinal bath, it can not only perfectly heal your shattered dantian, but also cleanse your marrow and bones, making your dantian more stable and powerful than ever before!

"The Nine-Turn Heaven-Extending Pill?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yaochen, dressed in a crimson robe, began to breathe rapidly!

This is a miraculous elixir recorded in a lost ancient book!

Li Yunheng was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands in greeting, asking, "I wonder what rare medicinal materials this pill requires?"

"Mr. Mo, please don't hesitate to ask. My Li family will spare no effort to gather the funds as quickly as possible!"

"Um."

Chen Changsheng's expression turned solemn as he slowly began, "Then remember this well..."

Chen Changsheng rattled off the names and specifications of twenty-three medicinal herbs in one breath.

Hearing this extremely complicated list, Li Yaochen frowned more and more. By the time Chen Changsheng finished speaking, he had a bitter expression on his face and carefully bowed, saying:

"Mr. Mo... most of the medicinal herbs you mentioned are in stock in the Li family's medicine store."

However... what you're asking for is really too demanding!

Chen Changsheng's face darkened, and his tone turned cold: "Foolish!"

The requirements for medicinal materials in refining such forbidden elixirs are extremely strict; even the slightest error can lead to disastrous results!

Too much medicine would be too potent, while too little would prevent it from reaching the internal organs.

If it's not done correctly, forcing it into the furnace will not only fail to produce any elixir, but will also turn it into a deadly poison, directly killing Han'er!

This resounding rebuke startled Li Yaochen, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He quickly and repeatedly said, "I am foolish! I am foolish!"

Chen Changsheng sighed and stood up: "Never mind."

If the medicinal materials are incompatible, it is not absolutely impossible to resolve the issue. I need to select other auxiliary medicines to neutralize and adjust the formula based on the principles of mutual generation and mutual restraint of medicinal properties.

"Alright then, take me to the Li family's secret medicine vault, and I will personally select a suitable substitute."

Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's request to enter the Li family's secret vault, Li Yunheng's heart instinctively tightened slightly.

The Li Family Treasury is the core lifeline accumulated by the Li family over hundreds of years. Apart from the heads of the family in successive generations and a very few core elders, even ordinary high-ranking members of the family are not qualified to set foot inside.

However, this slight wariness lasted for less than half a breath before Li Yunheng forcibly suppressed it himself.

The person before you is a peerless master from Medicine King Valley who has fallen to the mortal world!

They even spared no expense in bringing out the miraculous ancient formula to save Li Han. Would they really covet the wealth of a mere branch family in Cangwu City?

Besides, Mr. Mo is now Li Han's godfather, and we're all family now!

"Mr. Mo, what are you saying!"

Li Yunheng quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Although the secret vault is an important place for the family, you are Han'er's godfather and the savior of my Li family, so you will naturally go to the secret vault!"

"I, Li, will show you the way right away!"

"Excellent, excellent," Li Yaochen said repeatedly. "Without Elder Mo's discerning eye, we clumsy folk would probably not have been able to gather the right medicinal herbs even after three days and three nights."

Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled calmly.

Just before he stepped out of the room, he suddenly stopped, casually stretched out his hands, and clapped them lightly twice in front of Li Yunheng and Li Yaochen, his expression frank.

Everyone instinctively looked at his hands.

Chen Changsheng's fingers were empty; he didn't even have a precious storage ring or a simple cloth bag.

Chen Changsheng said calmly, "I lost most of my cultivation in the sect's tragic upheaval years ago, and now I only have a meager amount of power. I also don't carry any spatial treasures that can store external objects."

I will go in with you to choose the medicine, and I will come out as soon as we are done, so you can all rest assured.

Upon seeing this scene, the last remaining doubt in Li Yunheng's heart vanished instantly, replaced by deep shame and admiration!

He was so noble and magnanimous, even revealing that he didn't have a spatial ring. Such open-mindedness! I had actually been a little wary of him just now. I was really judging a gentleman by my own petty standards!

"Sir, your character is truly admirable! I, Li, am deeply impressed!"

Li Yunheng bowed deeply, completely letting down his guard.

The rest of the journey was smooth and unobstructed.

Li Yunheng and Li Yaochen led Chen Changsheng one after the other to an extremely hidden underground mechanism deep within the Li residence.

After passing through seven heavily guarded sentry posts, a massive stone gate, several feet thick and gleaming with a dark metallic sheen, suddenly appeared before them.

Li Yunheng and Li Yaochen each took out half of the key with hidden peculiar patterns, put them together, and inserted them into the stone hole.

"Boom!"

The heavy clanging of the mechanical mechanism echoed through the underground passage. The massive stone door, carrying a profound sense of historical vicissitude, slowly rose, revealing a spacious and deep treasure hall inside.

"Mr. Mo, please."

Li Yunheng bowed respectfully to the side, his attitude extremely humble.

Chen Changsheng nodded slightly, flicked his sleeves, and calmly stepped across the stone threshold.

Meanwhile, Li Han, who remained in the room, was lying on the couch with his fists clenched, his face flashing with extremely twisted ecstasy and ruthlessness.

"Chen Changsheng...you just wait!"

Li Han gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty hatred. "Once my godfather heals my dantian with the Nine-Turn Heaven-Extending Pill and opens up all the mysteries in my body, I will definitely tear you apart and skin you alive!"

I will repay you a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, for all the pain you inflicted upon me!

Neither he nor Li Yunheng could have imagined that their godfather, Mo Yuan, whom they revered as a deity and to whom they entrusted all their hopes for revenge, was now standing in the center of the vast secret vault that the Li family had accumulated over hundreds of years.

The huge black wooden shelves stretched into the darkness.

On the shelves, a dazzling array of items were displayed: millennia-old spiritual herbs, rare minerals, rare elixirs, high-level cultivation techniques, and precious jade and mysterious weapons that radiated an alluring luster, all collected and accumulated by the Li family over generations.

Chen Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly walking casually among the shelves. However, hidden in his eyes beneath his gray robe and hood, strands of divine consciousness, like an invisible net, silently enveloped the entire secret vault.

In her mind's eye, Mu Qing'er was already laughing uncontrollably: "Chen Changsheng, the hard-earned wealth of the Li family accumulated over generations is all yours today!"

Chen Changsheng's lips curled up slightly, forming a cold and profound arc.

revenge?

It's likely that the Li family father and son will never know that after tonight, not only will the immense wealth in this secret vault change hands completely.

Even their entire Li family will become sacrifices on his chessboard.

The Li family's secret vault covers an area of ​​several thousand square meters.

The interior is divided into layers of arrays and black wooden shelves according to the categories of treasures.

Chen Changsheng walked at the front, while Li Yaochen, carrying an exquisite sandalwood box, carefully followed three steps behind with a bow.

Although Li Yunheng and Li Yaochen tried their best to appear completely unsuspecting, Chen Changsheng still adhered to the principle of "never getting involved personally," only giving verbal instructions for Li Yaochen to fetch the medicine.

Chen Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, speaking coldly without turning his head.

Li Yaochen froze on the spot.

Although there were labels hanging on the black wooden drawers where the medicinal herbs were stored, the labels were all turned upside down to prevent the medicinal fumes from leaking out, and you had to open them yourself to see the contents.

The entire secret vault stores no fewer than a thousand kinds of medicinal herbs. Even Li Yaochen, who frequently enters and exits the vault, could never accurately pinpoint their exact location without looking at the signs.

But the "Old Mr. Mo" in front of us, even from several steps away without raising his eyes, accurately pinpointed the location of the drawer!

Li Yaochen hurriedly stepped forward, opened the drawer, and took out a look—what was contained in the hidden compartment was none other than the exact Blood Sunflower Essence!

"Sir...Sir, you are truly a divine being!"

Li Yaochen swallowed hard, his shock and awe reaching an unparalleled level.

For the next half hour, Chen Changsheng led Li Yaochen through the shelves and layers of restrictions.

He never even opened a drawer halfway; he simply strolled along, his nose twitching almost imperceptibly, yet he could pinpoint the location and even the quantity of a rare auxiliary medicine with unerring accuracy.

During the event, Chen Changsheng even casually pointed out two hidden compartments deep inside that had been forgotten by the Li family themselves due to years of disrepair and blurred markings, and found two rare and precious medicinal herbs that had been sealed away for many years!

With each new herb extracted, Li Yaochen's shock deepened.

In his eyes, the old man in the gray robe with his face covered was simply an insurmountable mountain of alchemy!

He had devoted half his life to medicine, yet he was not even as good as a shoe-carrying boy in front of others!

"The medicinal herbs have been almost collected."

Chen Changsheng stopped and asked calmly, "Where does your Li family store all the rare stones and spirit jade?"

"Deepest within the secret vault!"

Li Yaochen quickly perked up, bowed slightly, and led the way, saying, "Please follow me, sir."

The deeper one goes into the secret vault, the richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes.

Turning past a carved stone screen, rows of treasure cabinets made of the finest cold jade suddenly appeared before us, emitting a crystalline glow that was dazzling to behold.

Chen Changsheng stopped in front of one of the cold jade cabinets, took a deep sniff, and smiled, "Hmm... it smells like purple vein crystal."

The purity is almost identical to the piece I saw at your residence yesterday; they must have been cut from the same large piece, right?

Li Yaochen gasped, nearly dropping the wooden box in his hand to the ground!

It's one thing for medicinal herbs to have a smell, but the spiritual energy of precious stones and jade is extremely restrained, and they hardly emit any odor.

The Divine Physician Mo was able to determine the type and purity of a spirit stone based solely on the extremely faint fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air!

"Sir, you are truly insightful!"

Li Yaochen explained with pride and awe, "This Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal is the family heirloom of my Li family. It was originally kept in the deepest part of the secret vault. A few days ago, the young master was seriously injured by that thief Chen Changsheng, and the family head had no choice but to take it out."

Fortunately, the master performed a pulse diagnosis, thus saving this peerless jade.

Chen Changsheng sneered inwardly, but nodded calmly, urging Li Yaochen to retrieve a piece of extremely pure Crimson Spirit Jade and Water Spirit Jade.

After taking what he needed, Chen Changsheng kept his hands behind his back, not even touching the hem of the treasure, and turned straight towards the exit of the secret vault.

"Mr. Mo, please wait!"

Suddenly remembering something, Li Yaochen quickly pointed to a jade box in the center of the stone platform in front of him and said respectfully, "Please look, sir. This is the first rare treasure that has been sealed in the secret vault of my Li family for hundreds of years."

Chen Changsheng looked in the direction he was pointing.

On the stone platform in front of them, there lay a jade box, its entire surface a dark, icy color, radiating a chilling, bone-deep cold.

The jade box seemed to be carved from solid ice that had never melted for thousands of years, and even the air within three feet around it was frozen with wisps of white frost.

"This item is called Ice Marrow Cold Jade."

Li Yaochen's eyes were filled with sighs and regret. "According to the ancient records of the Li family, this is a rare object passed down from our ancestors, containing the most yin and coldest terrifying power in the world."

Legend has it that if one can refine it, one can create the Cold Jade Pill, which can resist all kinds of inner demons.

Unfortunately... for hundreds of years, none of the high-level pharmacists in my Li family have been able to master the method of refining this violent cold power, and can only seal it here indefinitely.

Chen Changsheng slowly walked to the stone platform, raised his finger, and gently pressed it on the jade box from a distance.

The biting cold spread from my fingertips.

In that split second, deep within Chen Changsheng's consciousness, Mu Qing'er, who had been stretching lazily out of boredom, suddenly sat up, her beautiful eyes flashing with dazzling spiritual light, and she exclaimed in surprise:

"Chen Changsheng! This thing... is definitely not ordinary cold jade!"

"Oh?"

Chen Changsheng asked softly in his mind's eye, "Qing'er, what did you see?"

Mu Qing'er's voice was filled with unparalleled excitement and fervor: "Inside this jade box, there is a wisp of an extremely pure ancient ice phoenix remnant soul sealed!"

No wonder these fools from the lower realms couldn't refine it; ordinary fire would be instantly extinguished by the backlash when it encountered the Ice Phoenix's essence!

But this thing is an incredible stroke of luck for you!

"You possess the Pure Yang Overlord Body. If you can forcibly refine and absorb this wisp of the Ice Phoenix's remnant soul with Pure Yang True Fire, the interplay of Yin and Yang, and the balance of water and fire, will definitely help your Pure Yang Overlord Body break through its bottleneck and reach the extraordinary realm of the Second Yang Peak!"

Upon hearing the words "breakthrough to the peak of the Second Yang Realm," Chen Changsheng's pupils, hidden beneath his gray robe, contracted sharply!

The Pure Yang Body is his greatest trump card for survival and revenge in this life. With each breakthrough, his combat power will experience a tremendous surge.

This piece of Ice Marrow Jade, which the Li family had sealed away as waste for hundreds of years, is something Chen Changsheng must take!

Chen Changsheng suppressed the turmoil in his heart, withdrew his finger, and maintained an inscrutable, cold expression, calmly commenting:

"It is indeed a rare and precious treasure of extreme cold."

Unfortunately, the cold energy within is too fierce and violent; without special techniques, forcibly refining it will only lead to self-destruction.

It's not a pity that such a gem is left to gather dust here.

Li Yaochen sighed repeatedly, deeply admiring Chen Changsheng's insight. He dared not delay any longer and quickly led Chen Changsheng out of the secret vault.

Time flies, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the next three days, Chen Changsheng entered Li Han's room at set times each day to examine and treat him, and to help him restore his pulse.

With the help of the Medicine King Valley's Silk Vein Fire Control Technique and various rare medicinal herbs, three days later, all of Li Han's originally severed major meridians miraculously became connected and unobstructed!

His complexion was rosy and his blood was full of energy. Except for the light golden medicinal membrane that was still sealed in his dantian, he was able to get out of bed and move around freely!

This miraculous recovery speed made Li Yunheng and Li Yaochen revere Chen Changsheng as a god.

Li Han called him "godfather" in an incredibly sweet and affectionate tone, and obeyed his every word.

On the evening of the third day, after Chen Changsheng finished examining Li Han's meridians, he sighed deeply and withdrew his fingers.

Seeing this, Li Yunheng, who was standing guard by the bed, felt a sudden tightness in his heart and quickly bowed to ask, "Mr. Mo, I wonder how we should proceed with the repair of Han'er's injured dantian?"

Li Han also looked at Chen Changsheng with eager anticipation in his eyes.

Chen Changsheng stroked his long beard, a calculating glint flashing in his eyes, and slowly said:

"Han'er's meridians have been strengthened. The most crucial thing next is to reshape the dantian."

Originally, I planned to use conventional methods to slowly repair him, but yesterday I thought about it for a long time. Since Han'er has already recognized me as his godfather, I will grant him a heaven-defying destiny!

Li Yunheng and Li Han both gasped simultaneously, their hearts pounding wildly!

"What does Godfather mean...?" Li Han asked, his voice trembling.

Chen Changsheng stroked his beard and laughed, saying in a resounding voice, "I have a miraculous method that can not only completely repair your damaged dantian, but also allow you to break through and rebuild, taking the opportunity to cleanse your marrow and attain enlightenment!"

"As long as you can refine that miraculous pill, the moment your dantian heals, you will break through your current limitations with the immense medicinal power, and your cultivation will soar to the heavens!"

"A direct breakthrough?"

Li Yunheng trembled with excitement. "Godfather! What kind of main ingredient is needed to refine this miraculous pill?"

Chen Changsheng's expression turned solemn, and he slowly uttered the trap he had prepared, word by word:

"This method requires the use of extremely yin and cold energy to reshape the foundation of the dantian."

I need a... ice-type demon core that is at least at the fifth rank and contains the power of extreme yin and cold!
