Ye Haochuan faced the wrath of Baili Jin but was saved by the sudden reappearance of Wan Qin. It was revealed that Wan Qin had been resurrected by Baili Jin using a prepared body and a Soul Absorption Jewel. Shortly after, members of the Geng family arrived, including an elder Ye Haochuan recognized from the Lower Realm. As discussions began about an impending conflict with "the Temple" and the dire state of the three great families, Xu Yuanba revealed that his family's elder was close to death, casting doubt on their ability to win.

The injuries of the Ancestor of the Xu Family are worsening. Although he received more than a dozen Deep Sea Divine Ganoderma Pill Abyss Ice that Ye Haochuan offered last time, it’s still difficult to reverse the condition; he appears to be on the brink of danger.

For anyone from the three major clans, this is undoubtedly bad news.

"It’s a pity the Medicine King passed away early. The remaining renowned medicinal cultivators all have connections with the Temple; otherwise, the Ancestor’s condition would not have deteriorated to this extent," Xu Yuanba sighed sorrowfully.

"Yes, none of the younger generation from our three major clans excel in the Medical Path. We can only watch helplessly as the clan’s ancestor falls critically ill, which is truly infuriating!" Baili Jin echoed.

It’s definitely false to say the three major clans have no medicinal cultivators at all.

In fact, the Xu Family has been striving to cultivate a group of medicinal cultivators since realizing the Ancestor’s injuries were becoming more serious.

But the path of medicine is thousands and thousands of times harder than cultivation. There are very few beginners, and even fewer can achieve anything significant in the Medical Path.

In the Immortal Realm, as the top three rare professions, the value of Immortal Pill Masters is definitely not exaggerated.

The Xu Family has spent thousands of years trying, and even now, there are very few who can refine third-grade Mysterious Pills, let alone fourth-grade Mysterious Pills capable of healing a God Lord.

"Back when the Medicine King was still around, did you not ask him to treat your family’s ancestor?" Geng Tianhe suddenly interjected.

Having been in seclusion on Earth for a thousand years, he’s not very familiar with many events; hence the question.

"Brother Tianhe, you may not know!"

Xu Yuanba explained, "That Medicine King, Tang Bo’an, had already diagnosed the ancestor and prescribed a pill recipe. Two of the medicinal ingredients were hard to find, and my Xu Family immediately devoted the entire family’s resources to search for them. But who would have expected, once the ingredients were found, Tang Bo’an had gambled his life away with the Ghostfire Pill Saint!"

Whoa, turns out my master has such ties with the Xu Family!

Ye Haochuan thought internally in disbelief upon hearing this.

The Xu Family’s luck is truly not that great, just happened to encounter the Medicine King’s fatal gamble, otherwise, things wouldn’t have been this miserable.

Ye Haochuan hesitated about whether to reveal that he is the Medicine King’s successor.

After all, the Xu Family and the Hua Clan were currently allies, and the death of the Xu Family’s ancestor wouldn’t benefit them.

Yet, on the other hand, Xu Yuanba and Xu Xiuyuan, the father and son, made Ye Haochuan feel displeased.

While he was grappling with this, the subject on the scene had quietly changed.

"The situation of the Ancestor seems beyond salvation. The reason I gathered you two here is to discuss matters of cooperation with the Hua Clan."

Xu Yuanba spoke solemnly, "This matter, I’ve discussed with you two before. Previously, Half-Mountain Residence had obtained the crucial item for locating the Hua Clan’s ancestors, and I think it’s time to proceed with this matter!"

Having said that, his gaze fell upon Shentu Fu.

Baili Jin and Geng Tianhe, upon hearing this, also turned their gazes towards Shentu Fu.

Shentu Fu looked embarrassed and said, "Well, I’m afraid it’s not possible for the time being!"

"Brother Shentu, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Yuanba frowned sharply and asked in a deep voice, "You just said there would be no problem, why did you suddenly change your tune?"

"This is..."

Shentu Fu pointed at Ye Haochuan and shook his head with a sigh, "Originally, I thought, this kid should at least be able to advance to the Demi-God Realm, after all, I heard from Miss Baili that this boy managed to obtain thirty or forty Divine Charms."

"Thirty or forty?"

Aside from Baili Jin, who seemed to know something beforehand, Xu Yuanba and Geng Tianhe couldn’t help but gasp.

The whole Twin Moon Secret Realm only has about sixty to seventy Divine Charms at most, right?

These sixty to seventy Divine Charms, even if divided among the three major clans, each clan would only get about twenty.

Moreover, with the Temple intervening, getting a dozen or so Charms for each clan would already be considered good.

Yet, Ye Haochuan, without collaborating with the three major clans, managed to gather as many as forty.

"Having obtained so many Divine Charms, surely he should have advanced to the Demi-God Realm?"

Xu Yuanba looked at Ye Haochuan with confusion, with his abilities, he could naturally see Ye Haochuan was only at the Void God Late Stage.

"Seems like Miss Lianqin must have been mistaken!"

Shentu Fu laughed awkwardly, "Given the upheaval in the Twin Moon Secret Realm this time, it’s already commendable that this kid managed to rescue Miss Lianqin and others successfully. How could he have had the chance to acquire so many Divine Charms?"

Xu Yuanba and the others nodded in agreement but wondered, "Since he hasn’t reached the Demi-God Realm, there’s no need to take him to the Western Wastes, after all, having a Demi-God Cultivator in the Western Wastes doesn’t hold much significance. Brother Shentu, why do you say it’s temporarily not possible?"

"To be honest, the key mystical artifact for locating the Hua Clan Great Power, the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images, has chosen this boy as its master. No one else can find the Hua Clan Great Power’s traces in the Western Wastes without him!" Shentu Fu said with a bitter smile.

"This..."

The three of Xu Yuanba looked conflicted, their moods heavy.

A long time passed before Xu Yuanba, furrowing his brow, said, "The situation is critical now, and we cannot wait any longer. Once our Ancestor passes away, the Temple will undoubtedly launch an offensive immediately, and by then it will be too late to say anything."

"You mean..."

Shentu Fu’s face revealed a sense of foreboding.

Xu Yuanba’s expression turned resolute, "Regardless, you all must go to the Western Wastes now; we have no time left!"

"No way!"

Shentu Fu wore a hint of anger, saying, "If he goes now, he’s bound to be a sacrifice, and losing the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images means we really have no chance of finding our ancestors again!"

"Shentu Fu, don’t forget, we have a cooperative relationship! If everything is only considered from your interests, what kind of cooperation is that?" Xu Yuanba also became angry and shouted.

"Since it’s a cooperative relationship, how can you disregard our situation entirely? The Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images was hard to retrieve, and I’m not going to take such risks with it!"

Shentu Fu said firmly, "If you insist on this, I can only say, this cooperation need not continue!"

These words immediately brought a tense atmosphere to the court.

Xu Yuanba’s eye twitched, and he sneered coldly, "I advise you not to have such thoughts, or else you won’t be leaving here today!"

"What, are you threatening me now?"

Shentu Fu appeared fearless and said solemnly, "Do you think that I, Shentu Fu, am afraid of death?"

"Haha, I believe you’re not afraid of death, but do you want this boy named Ye to die with you?"

Xu Yuanba said with a cold laugh, "Consider carefully, if I kill him, your Half-Mountain Residence will never find your ancestors again!"

"You..."

Shentu Fu was at a loss for words with rage.

There is no denying, Xu Yuanba indeed hit his weakness, because right now, for the entire Half-Mountain Residence, Ye Haochuan, who possesses the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images, is absolutely the most important.

"Is it killing him now or giving him a chance to try his luck in the Western Wastes, your choice!"

Xu Yuanba fanned the flames once more, the threatening undertones all too evident.
