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

Li Han, who was lying on the bed, had just woken up from his deep sleep. Although he was exhausted, he could feel the meridians in his body being reconnected and unblocked.

He was still immersed in the ecstasy and dreamlike state of being about to obtain the Nine-Turn Heaven-Sustaining Pill, reshape his dantian, and soar into the sky.

Upon seeing Chen Changsheng push open the door and enter, Li Han struggled to turn to the side, his face full of flattery and respect as he called out, "Godfather!"

"Have you returned with the alternative medicinal herbs, sir?"

"Okay, I've made my choice."

Chen Changsheng walked expressionlessly to the bedside and placed a bowl of dark, pungent, bitter medicinal soup in front of Li Han.

In this bowl of medicine, Chen Changsheng secretly mixed in a very high concentration of the pure medicinal juice of the deadly poison, the Blood-Sealing Herb.

Chen Changsheng held the medicine bowl and said gently with a kind look in his eyes, "Han'er, come, drink this bowl of medicine while it's hot."

This is a tonic soup I just specially prepared for you to strengthen your foundation and replenish your vital energy. Drinking it will help you thoroughly stabilize the newly connected meridians, preparing you for the subsequent reconstruction of your dantian.

At this moment, Li Han trusted Doctor Mo to the core and had no guard up at all.

Moved to tears, he quickly reached out his trembling hands to accept it without blinking, and shouted, "Thank you so much, Godfather, for your great kindness!"

Having said that, he raised his head and gulped it down in one go!

The black medicine liquid poured down his esophagus.

However, only three seconds later!

Li Han's expression suddenly changed drastically! His originally rosy face turned deathly pale at a visible speed, his eyes bulged, and the veins on his forehead bulged violently like writhing dragons!

"My stomach... my stomach is cramping so badly!"

"Godfather... what... what's going on?"

Li Han let out a pig-like scream, clutching his stomach violently as he rolled around wildly on the bed!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of dull, terrifying sounds of meridians breaking echoed within his body!

The major meridians that had just been forcibly pieced together and reconnected with the power of medicine were once again broken apart inch by inch by the violent erosion of the shattering meridian grass's deadly poison!

Not only that, the crack in the dantian that was originally sealed was also blasted away by this violent toxin, collapsing completely and shattering into dust!

This time, it will be permanent, devastating, and utter destruction!

Even if a celestial being descended to earth, it would be impossible to repair his meridians and dantian in the slightest!

Li Han coughed up mouthfuls of black blood, writhing on the ground in agony, staring intently at Chen Changsheng with eyes full of extreme terror and despair, his voice trembling as he hissed:

"Godfather...why...why..."

Chen Changsheng stood quietly by the bed, looking down at Li Han, who was struggling in agony like a dead dog.

His eyes were devoid of any emotion, only displaying a cold indifference towards the common people.

He slowly extended his right hand, gently pinched the edge of his cheek, and peeled off the thin layer of skin that had been disguised for many days.

His gray robe slipped down slightly, revealing a young face with exceptionally handsome features, yet his eyes were as cold as a knife!

Chen Changsheng leaned down, close to Li Han's ear, and whispered a few words in an extremely calm and cold voice:

"Tell your father... I am Chen Changsheng."

"Chen...Chen Changsheng?"

These five words exploded in Li Han's mind like a thunderbolt from the heavens!

Li Han's pupils contracted violently to their maximum size in an instant! In that split second, despair, regret, shame, and horror...

Countless complex fears tore his soul apart!

Chen Changsheng!

This nemesis who crippled him with a single move and caused chaos in the Li family!

This peerless master, who has been revered as a god by the entire household these past few days, and whom even his own father has to kowtow to...

The divine physician Mo, whom I willingly called "godfather" dozens of times and even kowtowed deeply to perform the grand ceremony of bowing to a father...

It was actually Chen Changsheng himself!

"puff!"

An overwhelming sense of shame and shock rushed to the top of his head. Li Han opened his mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of blood, making a strange gurgling sound in his throat.

He wanted to scream to warn the outside world, but the deadly poison of the Broken Vein Grass had already sealed his vocal cords, preventing him from uttering even a single word!

His eyes bulged, his body convulsed, and he watched helplessly as Chen Changsheng slowly and methodically reattached the dough to his face, transforming once again into the ethereal and unfathomable Mo Yuan.

Chen Changsheng straightened his robes, flicked off non-existent dust from his fingertips, and sat calmly in the armchair in the center of the bedroom.

All the retaliation and arrangements have been finalized.

Next, all he had to do was sit there leisurely and wait for Li Yunheng to return in high spirits with the demon core he had just won the auction for.

"We got it! Mr. Mo! We finally obtained that fifth-tier Ice Crystal Mystic Dragon's inner core!"

Li Yunheng rushed into the bedroom with a flushed face, holding a beautifully crafted treasure box made entirely of ten-thousand-year-old ice crystals. His arms were trembling slightly from excessive excitement.

Behind him, Li Yaochen's face was also flushed, his eyes flashing with a fanatical light.

On their way back, the two used their lightness skills to travel at high speed. Despite being all-powerful and influential in Crescent Moon City, they felt a sense of unease, as if possessing a treasure was a crime and they were filled with anxiety.

Chen Changsheng sat upright in the armchair, calmly accepting the ice box and lifting the lid.

"Buzz!"

An extremely violent and bone-chilling cold aura instantly burst forth from the box, condensing a thick layer of white frost on the ground and walls within several feet around it.

In the center of the box, a fist-sized, dark blue beast core, with faint phantom images of dragons swirling around it, was radiating a dazzling light.

"Indeed, it is a pure fifth-order Ice Crystal Mystic Dragon inner core. It was taken out less than two months ago, and the extreme yin cold power inside is extremely well preserved."

Chen Changsheng pretended to examine it for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunheng was overjoyed: "If it weren't for the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce VIP token that Mr. Mo gave us before, we wouldn't have been able to buy such a divine item, let alone meet the higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce!"

"Based on that golden token, the guild's elder made an exception and sold us the pill at an extremely low price, but repeatedly warned us not to let the word out."

Chen Changsheng closed the box and casually asked, "How many spirit stones did they take from you?"

Li Yunheng quickly replied, "Six hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Although it nearly exhausted all the liquid funds of my Li family manor, it was absolutely worth it to have Han'er rebuild her dantian and ascend to the heavens in one step!

Chen Changsheng's lips twitched uncontrollably twice beneath his gray robe.

This Wanbao Chamber of Commerce is truly ruthless. They bought in for 50,000 and sold for 600,000, yet Li Yunheng thinks he got a great deal!

"good."

Chen Changsheng returned the demon core to Li Yunheng, solemnly instructing him, "Keep it safe and do not let the news leak out, otherwise you will be guilty of possessing a treasure even if you are innocent."

"Don't worry, Mr. Mo, I understand the situation!"

Li Yunheng nodded repeatedly, then eagerly inquired, "When does Mr. Mo plan to rebuild Han'er's dantian?"

Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment and sighed, "Reshaping the dantian is a heaven-defying act. This demon core alone is not enough. I also need to use the supreme yang power of the earth fire to harmonize and neutralize it."

I need to go to the Earth Fire Pavilion in the city to borrow the alchemy room to refine the medicinal power.

Patriarch Li, you can arrange for a steady and unassuming guard to guide me.

I, an old man, wander far and wide, and do not wish to publicize my existence.

Li Yunheng immediately bowed and replied, "Sir, your consideration is very thorough!"

Mr. Li then arranged for his head guard, Li Yan, to escort the gentleman there!

Li Yan's cultivation has reached the Spirit Profound Realm, and he is a calm and composed person. He will surely ensure your safety throughout the journey.

Soon, the head guard, Li Yan, was summoned and respectfully led Doctor Mo out of the Li residence.

Unlike the fervent enthusiasm of the Li family, the atmosphere within the Cangwu Martial Academy was somewhat heavy and uneasy.

Chen Changsheng has been missing for three whole days.

In the courtyard of the Wu family mansion, the burly Gu Dashan paced back and forth like an enraged bear, his eyes bloodshot.

In the past three days, he has turned almost half of Cangwu City upside down, but he couldn't find even the slightest trace of Chen Changsheng.

Just then, a cool and elegant figure slowly entered the courtyard; it was Nangong Yue.

"Great Mountain, is there any news of immortality?" Nangong Yue frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes revealing deep worry.

Gu Dashan slammed his fist on the stone table and roared in a tearful voice, "It's not there! We've searched everywhere!"

Ever since Changsheng went out that night, he has never returned to his residence!

"Senior Sister Nangong... what if... what if Brother Changsheng has fallen victim to the Li family's evil deeds?"

Nangong Yue's expression darkened, and she did not answer immediately. She keenly sensed an extremely unusual and eerie feeling in it.

Nangong Yue turned and walked towards the steward's pavilion of the Martial Academy, where she took out all the recent personnel entry and exit records and quickly flipped through them page by page.

My fingertips lingered on that page from three nights ago.

That night was the night when the Li family surrounded the Cangwu Martial Mansion to demand an explanation!

The entry and exit records clearly state that after Chen Changsheng stepped out of the Martial Academy that night, there was no record of him returning!

"He disappeared three days ago... the night the Li family surrounded the Wu residence, and he hasn't returned since..."

Nangong Yue closed the file, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold, piercing light, her face extremely grim.

Chen Changsheng is extremely intelligent; it is absolutely impossible for him to disappear for three days without a reason.

The only explanation is that he was coerced and humiliated by the Li family that night, and was even secretly abducted into the depths of the Li mansion!

"I demand to see the body, dead or alive!"

Nangong Yue gritted her teeth and, without further hesitation, unleashed a surge of spiritual energy that transformed into a dazzling stream of light, hurtling straight toward the Li residence!

At the same time, at the Li residence.

After seeing off "Divine Doctor Mo" and Li Yan, Li Yunheng held the ice box containing the fifth-order demon core tightly in both hands, unwilling to let go for even a moment.

"Yao Chen, come with me to the secret vault!"

"Place this demon core in the Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Box to nurture it. When Mr. Mo returns tomorrow, we can start the furnace directly!" Li Yunheng instructed enthusiastically.

"Yes, Master!"

Li Yaochen was also beaming, and hurriedly followed Li Yunheng toward the underground vault.

With the layers of restrictions lifted, Li Yunheng skillfully took out the key and pushed open the three heavy, massive stone doors with a rumble.

The stone gate rose with a roar, revealing a spacious hall inside.

However, the moment Li Yunheng stepped into the secret vault with overwhelming joy and pride...

His feet suddenly froze in mid-air!

He was struck dumb, his eyes bulging out in an extremely exaggerated way!

in front of you.

There are no rows of towering medicine cabinets made entirely of black wood!

There are no priceless jade treasure chests among them!

There were no millennia-old spiritual herbs, rare spiritual minerals, high-level cultivation techniques, or peerless weapons...

air!

There was nothing there!

The vast underground vault, spanning thousands of square meters, was now completely bare!

Not even a speck of dust or a splinter of wood was left on the ground!

The immense wealth accumulated by the Li family over hundreds of years and generations, a secret treasure trove of a thousand years of heritage, has been completely evaporated!

"Empty...empty? The...patriarch...the secret vault...has been emptied!"

Li Yaochen behind him collapsed to the ground with a thud, his face ashen, and let out a shrill scream like a demon!

"No...impossible...impossible!"

A thunderous roar exploded in Li Yunheng's mind, and he roared like a wild beast that had gone completely mad as he charged into the center of the stone chamber!

However, when his gaze inadvertently fell upon the deepest, empty, cold ground...

Six large characters, neatly pieced together from a pile of black, slag-like pharmaceutical waste, pierced Li Yunheng's eyes:

"What you did in the past, you reap today."

Six large characters, each one piercing to the heart! Each word like a knife!

In that instant, scenes from the past three days flashed before my eyes.

The extraordinary medical skills of Doctor Mo, his candor in entering the secret vault alone, the sadness of adopting a son, his trickery in bidding high prices for demon cores, and even the secret vault's restriction token he took before leaving...

All the clues suddenly came together at that moment!

"Mo Yuan... Mo Yuan! Chen Changsheng! Pfft!"

In an instant, Li Yunheng understood all the monstrous pitfalls and humiliations!

Extreme anger, regret, despair, and madness tore his internal organs apart like a raging storm!

He let out a bloodcurdling roar that was utterly horrific, and spat out a mouthful of extremely thick blood essence, which rained down on the cold, giant stone door like a storm of blood!

It was a blinding red, a despairing red!

The violent surge of reversed blood exploded in his chest cavity, and Li Yunheng experienced a violent blackout before his eyes, collapsing heavily to the floor.

"Master! Master, wake up!"

Li Yaochen's terrified screams echoed through the empty secret vault.

After a long while, he used all his strength to stuff several heart-protecting pills into Li Yunheng's mouth, and then forcibly transferred pure spiritual energy into his heart meridian. Only then did Li Yunheng slowly open his eyes.

However, at this moment, Li Yunheng's face was ashen, and his once majestic and profound eyes were now filled with bloodshot veins of death and madness.

He stared intently at the six large characters spelled out from the rubble on the ground, then turned to look at the millennia-old heritage that had been looted so thoroughly that not a single speck of dust remained. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled violently.

"Han'er...where is Han'er?"

Li Yunheng's voice was hoarse, like the cry of a crow bleeds, trembling with despair.

Li Yaochen's face turned pale, and he cried out miserably, "This old servant just... just went to investigate... not only has the young master's dantian not improved at all, but the remaining Xuan meridians have been completely shredded into dust by an extremely yang and domineering force!"

Even if a true deity descended to earth,... there would be no possibility of further cultivation!

"puff!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunheng's body trembled violently, and he spat out another mouthful of dark red blood essence!
