Ye Haochuan convinces Patriarch Xu to replace his son Xu Xiuyuan as the heir with Xu Wenrui. Afterward, Ye Haochuan is taken to treat the Xu Family Ancestor, Xu Chenglin, a frail but immensely powerful cultivator. During the treatment, Xu Chenglin recognizes an old acquaintance within Ye Haochuan, the Medicine King, who expresses regret for not being able to heal him.

Is there still an old friend of his on me?

Ye Haochuan felt somewhat baffled.

It’s reasonable to say that Xu Chenglin knowing the Medicine King is plausible, after all, the Medicine King once came to treat him.

But if there are other people who might know Xu Chenglin, Ye Haochuan finds it hard to comprehend.

"Could it be that skull head?"

Ye Haochuan speculated, but immediately shook his head in denial.

This skull head is the one who couldn’t handle Fan Qianhe, how could he know an expert like Xu Chenglin?

Ye Haochuan wasn’t left guessing for long before a voice in his mind revealed the answer.

"It’s not that I don’t want to come out, I’m just too weak to meet now!"

Nani, it turned out to be the Taichi Pearl?

Ye Haochuan was a bit startled, but quickly felt relieved.

The Taichi Pearl is extremely mysterious, and such a treasure’s Artifact Spirit’s intelligence is no less than that of humans, so being considered as an old friend seems understandable.

The voice of the Taichi Pearl only echoed in Ye Haochuan’s mind, logically, outsiders shouldn’t be able to hear it.

But who is Xu Chenglin? He is an old monster with cultivation unfathomable, being able to hear this voice is not surprising to Ye Haochuan at all.

Xu Chenglin chuckled helplessly and sighed, "It seems that five thousand years ago, that battle caused you quite a bit of loss, and you still haven’t recovered!"

"I thought you would have felt regret for not ultimately annihilating me," the Taichi Pearl said with a semblance of a smile.

Huh? Was the Taichi Pearl wounded by this old man before him?

Ye Haochuan felt perplexed.

If this is true, these two must have been sworn enemies, so how can they chat so casually now?

"Haha~, perhaps back then, I might have indeed regretted it."

Xu Chenglin laughed hoarsely and said, "But now, I hope you have recovered. Even if you annihilate me out of revenge, at least with your style of conduct, my Xu Family descendants can still flourish on this land."

Having said that, his expression suddenly darkened, a glimpse of resentment flashed in his murky eyes: "In the end, you and I were both fools manipulated by the Divine Ability Pavilion, fought each other to mutual destruction, letting them profit from our loss."

"Things have come to this, discussing these matters is useless! When we recover our vitality, we might have to join forces in battle once more!"

The Taichi Pearl laughed heartily, seemingly reluctant to discuss the matter further.

Xu Chenglin gave a dry laugh, and didn’t continue the conversation.

Ye Haochuan, however, gleaned a wealth of shocking information from the two’s dialogue.

The most astonishing one was Xu Chenglin’s sentence: Even if you annihilate me...

You have to understand, although Xu Chenglin is severely injured, when it comes to a life-or-death struggle, there are very few who can stand against him in this world.

But hearing his tone, it seems the Taichi Pearl could easily obliterate him, which is indeed incredible.

Ye Haochuan greatly wished to know the secrets of this mysterious Taichi Pearl, but no matter how he inquired in his mind, the Taichi Pearl remained silent, leaving him feeling quite frustrated.

"Ye Family kid, you can start now!"

After a moment, Xu Chenglin suddenly spoke.

Ye Haochuan then remembered his primary purpose for coming. He approached, placing his hand on Xu Chenglin’s wrist, carefully infusing a wisp of Dragon Origin Essence Qi.

Xu Chenglin was very cooperative, otherwise, with Ye Haochuan’s cultivation, it would’ve been courting death.

Sss~

The sound of Ye Haochuan drawing a cold breath broke the surrounding peace.

In his long experience as a physician, he had never seen someone survive with injuries this severe.

Xu Chenglin’s body could be described as completely charred, with no trace of vitality in his entire being.

In his stomach, there’s a mass of Deep Sea Abyss Ice yet to fully dissolve, and it is this presence of Abyss Ice that temporarily suppresses the unimaginable high temperature inside.

Otherwise, Ye Haochuan even suspects he might spontaneously combust to death.

"What level of flame could this be, so powerful that it can easily ravage such a master?"

Ye Haochuan was astounded to the extreme, mumbling unconsciously.

Who would have expected Xu Chenglin to abruptly answer: "Wasn’t it your ancestor’s good deed! Truly, the affairs of the world are unpredictable, your ancestor injured me, and in the end, I still rely on you, the descendant, to come to my rescue!"

"My ancestor? You know my origin?" Ye Haochuan asked in surprise.

"You unintentionally used the Heavenly Eye earlier, do you really think I’m unaware?"

Xu Chenglin chuckled: "Ye Xiu, that fellow, how did he get so lucky to have such an outstanding descendant like you, while my Xu Family hasn’t seen a decent talent in five thousand years? Could it be that we’ve done too many bad deeds, and suffered divine retribution?"

Ye Haochuan was silent in contemplation, not answering.

The name "Ye Xiu" wasn’t unfamiliar to him.

Ever since he studied the Diagram of the Two Instruments and Four Images, he learned of the title of World-Peeking Holy Monarch Ye Xiu.

He had long speculated that the World-Peeking Holy Monarch might be his ancestor, given that unique Heavenly Eye was indeed too special.

Now that Xu Chenglin mentioned it, it didn’t strike him as odd.

However, with this revelation, he felt somewhat conflicted.

Given that Xu Chenglin was injured by Ye Xiu, calling him the Ye Family’s enemy isn’t unwarranted, and who knows if Ye Xiu’s demise isn’t somewhat connected to him.

And now, he has to save this enemy, truly wondering if the Ye Family ancestors would be so infuriated as to rise from the Underworld.

"You don’t have to burden yourself with any inner conflict; those past rights and wrongs are not for you to interfere with, just focus on the present task!"

Reading Ye Haochuan’s thoughts, the Taichi Pearl suddenly consoled him.

Ye Haochuan nodded lightly, regardless of the past, at least for now, reviving Xu Chenglin is advantageous for the Hua Clan.

Gathering his concentration, Ye Haochuan once again focused on Xu Chenglin’s injuries.

Xu Chenglin’s injuries were severe to a degree that he really had no effective treatment, so he could only direct his questioning glance to the Medicine King’s phantom manifestation.

The Medicine King’s brows furrowed into the character "川," and he spoke in a deep voice: "Elder Xu’s injuries have worsened compared to before, even my original pill recipe may not suffice to heal him."

"What should be done then?"

Ye Haochuan inquired.

Even the Medicine King found the dilemma tricky; with his medical skills, he couldn’t think of a viable solution.

Ultimately, it’s because Ye Xiu’s power was too formidable, and the force he exerted is not something easily resolved.

After pondering for a while, the Medicine King finally spoke slowly: "Given the current situation, using the existing pill recipe is the only viable option; while it may not heal, it can at least provide some relief. As for further options, let me think on it."

Ye Haochuan hearing this, couldn’t think of a better method either, so he had to proceed accordingly.

The Xu Family had already prepared the pill recipe’s ingredients, which Xu Yuanba had just handed over to him.

However, one of the main herbs, Deep Sea Abyss Ice, was already scarce as it had been continuously used by the Ancestor of the Xu Family to suppress his injuries.

Fortunately, Ye Haochuan didn’t hand all of the Deep Sea Abyss Ice over to the Xu Family last time, and at this moment, he naturally couldn’t hold back, bringing it out to complete the ingredients.

"Haochuan, are you equipped to handle this fourth-grade Mysterious Pill?"

The Medicine King asked with some concern.
