Chapter 538: What Kind of Person
🕑 Added 2024-11-05 13:56:03 +0000 UTCHearing Lin Qian's words, Yuan Supreme's face showed a trace of surprise. "Young Master, could it be that you have a solution?"
"The poison from Spirit Transformation Fruits can be neutralized if only a few hundred are involved. But your grandfather, Young Master, was restrained by the Yun family's ancestor using a bloodline oath and was poisoned with the essence of a hundred thousand Spirit Transformation Fruits, which was infused into his entire body through his wounds."
"The poison from a hundred thousand Spirit Transformation Fruits is nearly incurable."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian's expression turned icy. "A hundred thousand... My grandfather's adoptive father is truly ruthless."
"Your grandfather is indeed an extraordinary talent, Young Master. The Yun family’s ancestor likely grew envious and hence resorted to such a vicious method," Yuan Supreme remarked with a sigh. "In fact, I met your grandfather once before. He was indeed a remarkable young man."
Lin Qian remained silent, contemplating the situation. He mentally reached out to Zhuge Ming in the Hua Xia Empire's mystical realm: "Prime Minister, is there a way to help my grandfather?"
Throughout the conversation, Lin Qian had been transmitting information back to the Hua Xia Empire, seeking Zhuge Ming's guidance.
Originally, Zhuge Ming was contemplating the Myriad Medicine Spiritwood Valley, recognizing its significant importance to the Hua Xia Empire. As the Prime Minister, it was his duty to be attentive to such matters.
When Lin Qian's question reached him, Zhuge Ming promptly responded: "Your Majesty, we indeed have a solution. We can custom-make a special soul warrior enhancement potion."
"Given the effects of the poison from a hundred thousand Spirit Transformation Fruits, the enhancement potion will not only neutralize the poison but also significantly boost your grandfather's strength and improve his constitution, making his meridians more resilient and his dantian stronger."
After hearing Zhuge Ming's response, Lin Qian finally felt relieved. If that was the case, then there would be no issues.
This crisis for his grandfather could, in fact, turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
Having made up his mind, Lin Qian looked at Yuan Supreme and asked, "Elder Yuan, could you tell me where exactly my grandfather is located?"
After a brief contemplation, Lin Qian decided to prioritize finding his grandfather and healing him before heading to the Myriad Medicine Spiritwood Valley. His parents were already hidden, and as long as the Yun family couldn't find them, they would be safe.
Moreover, the blood curse that had been lingering over him hadn't appeared in a long time, suggesting that his father hadn't faced any immediate danger during that time.
However, his grandfather's condition seemed dire. With his vitality dwindling and spiritual energy being neutralized, the remedies provided by the Yuan family could only temporarily delay the inevitable, not cure it.
His parents had clearly risked everything to enter the Myriad Medicine Spiritwood Valley in search of the Cleansing Spirit Herb to save his grandfather, indicating the severity of his condition. Yet, the Cleansing Spirit Herb alone wouldn’t suffice; it could only neutralize the poison from a thousand Spirit Transformation Fruits.
Healing his grandfather would require the specialized resources of the Hua Xia Empire's mystical realm, with the combined efforts of the Heavenly Work Division and the Medical Division. Lin Qian believed they could easily solve the issue.
Though he wasn't sure of his grandfather's exact cultivation level, Yuan Supreme's admiration and the context of their conversation suggested that his grandfather was quite powerful.
If Lin Qian could restore his grandfather’s health and then proceed to rescue his parents, the situation would be much more secure.
"In that case, I will personally escort you there, Young Master," Yuan Supreme offered. "Not only will we get there quickly, but I can also ensure your safety along the way."
While the Yuan family was bound by their ancestral vow not to interfere in human conflicts, they were allowed to protect Lin Qian on his journey. However, directly assisting in a confrontation with the Yun family would breach that vow.
"Let's go!" With a decisive nod, Yuan Supreme enveloped Lin Qian in his soul force and shot out of the wooden house, flying across the sky. In a blink, they vanished from sight.
Yuan Supreme's cultivation level was profound, and within moments, they had traveled across several provinces. The scenery below blurred as Lin Qian's eyes couldn't keep up with the incredible speed, and he could only vaguely perceive the surroundings.
Even his soul sense was limited to the area within Yuan Supreme's protective soul force. Beyond that, the overwhelming speed would have shattered his consciousness.
Boom!
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yuan Supreme finally halted, hovering above a valley containing a city below. "Young Master, we've arrived."
As the soul force receded, Lin Qian regained his senses and looked down at the valley city below. "Elder Yuan, how far have we traveled?"
"Heh, the Yuan family controls eight hundred provinces, with two hundred in each of the four cardinal directions. Your grandfather currently occupies only one province, supported by some of his former followers," Yuan Supreme explained with a smile. "Your grandfather has managed to remain safe here for a reason."
"The Yuan Spirit Chamber of Commerce is one of the two largest trading organizations in the Central Region, alongside the Golden Flower Chamber of Commerce. The current chairman is a close friend of your grandfather, Young Master, and has provided him with shelter here," Yuan Supreme said with a slight shake of his head. "Unfortunately, the Yuan Spirit Chamber of Commerce is facing difficulties and can't offer much more assistance."
"Difficulties?"
"The Yuan Spirit Chamber of Commerce fought a battle with the Yun family to protect your grandfather, but the Golden Flower Chamber of Commerce took advantage of the situation, leaving the Yuan Spirit Chamber of Commerce severely weakened and in disarray. As a result, they can't help your parents either," Yuan Supreme explained.
Hearing this, Lin Qian nodded thoughtfully. "It seems the chairman of the Yuan Spirit Chamber of Commerce is indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness. My grandfather has a true brother in him. Such a debt of gratitude must be repaid."
"Let's go down. I'm sure your grandfather will be delighted to see you, Young Master," Yuan Supreme said with a smile.
"Grandfather... It seems your status is quite high, Elder Yuan. I'm sure my grandfather will be very pleased to see you as well," Lin Qian remarked as he gazed at the city below, feeling a growing anticipation. What kind of person would his grandfather turn out to be?
