Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 648: Rules for the Use of Immortal Herbs and Precious Medicines
After a while, Chen Cong pushed the door open and walked in. He looked exhausted but calm.

Chen Xiaojun heard the footsteps and quickly looked up, his eyes brightening: "Second Uncle, you're back! Does Elder Qing have any plan to save Xiaoyi?"

Chen Cong nodded slightly, signaling him to stay calm, and then told him about the conversation with Doctor Qingxing and the other party's diagnosis.

Chen Xiaojun listened attentively, sometimes frowning, sometimes showing a look of relief.

"At least two or three years, at most more than ten years... As long as everything is fine, it's fine." Chen Xiaojun murmured to himself. The heavy burden in his heart was finally relieved, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Then, he whispered to himself: "As long as Xiaoyi can recover, I can wait as long as it takes."

"Doctor Qingxing mentioned that if there is a precious elixir that can increase mental power, it may speed up Xiaoyi's recovery." Chen Cong added.

Chen Xiaojun sighed softly, with a sense of fate: "Alas, I can't escape this fate after all. Ice and Fire Immortal Grass, Longing for Autumn Water Dew... Such rare elixirs are exactly what Xiaoyi needs most at this moment."

"What fate?" Chen Cong asked puzzledly.

Chen Xiaojun shook his head and said nothing more: "Nothing, just a feeling."

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued, "Second Uncle, do you know that there is a magical grass called Wangchuanqiushuilu growing in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire? It has the magical effect of greatly enhancing mental strength. If we talk about helping mental strength, this is the best!"

Chen Cong nodded: "Continue."

Chen Xiaojun explained, "The effect of this magical herb is very mild. It does not conflict with the two kinds of ice and fire magical herbs that Xiaoyi took before. Instead, they complement each other. One nourishes the spirit, and the other strengthens the body."

"Second Uncle, you have said before that control is Xiaoyi's foundation. Her martial soul and soul skills require extremely high mental strength."

"I originally planned to apply to the family in a few years, but now that Xiaoyi is in urgent need of spiritual medicine, it is just in time, which can be regarded as timely assistance."

“If she can take this magical herb, it will definitely allow Zhu Xiaoyi to wake up soon, and the power of her soul skills will be maximized, and her strength will be further improved.”

"Also, eating the Autumn Water Dew can train you to have Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, which can see through all kinds of strange things. Maybe Xiaoyi's 70,000-year-old Eyes Soul Skill can also be integrated."

"But I don't know if the family will agree..."

Chen Xiaojun's mind was churning with thoughts. He stared ahead and pondered, "After Tang San took the miraculous Hope Dew, his Purple Demon Eye has advanced to the third stage of Mustard Seed."

"Although Xiaoyi has not mastered any martial arts that specialize in eyesight, I don't believe that she, who possesses the Nine Palace Soul Transfer Technique, the Ten Thousand Leaf Flying Flower Flow, and the Nine Yin Manual, will have a mental strength inferior to that of Tang San of the same level."

Tang San is indeed a very good unit of measurement. All time travelers will use him as a reference, and Chen Xiaojun is no exception.

Chen Cong sat quietly aside, his eyes calm, as if he was thinking about something.

He spoke slowly, as steady as a rock: "Your grandfather once mentioned that you have certain rights over the immortal herbs in the family."

"This time, Xiaoyi was injured for you. I think that with Xiaoyi's relationship with you and the family, as well as your great contribution to the family, the chances of your application for the immortal grass being approved this time should be quite high."

Chen Xiaojun was overjoyed when he heard this. He asked hurriedly, "Really? Is this really possible?"

Chen Cong nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face: "Would I lie to you?"

Chen Xiaojun had a simple smile on his face, and he quickly said, "In that case, I will apply for another immortal herb for my own use."

Chen Cong looked at Chen Xiaojun's eager look and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "You are a smart boy. You really know how to strike the snake while it is still under attack."

Chen Xiaojun smiled awkwardly, then said seriously: "I did say before that once the medicinal effect of Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone is fully absorbed into my body, I can take the second immortal herb."

"After this injury, I feel that the degree of integration with the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone has been significantly improved. I feel that after I am injured, I can practice for a while and break through to level 40."

"I believe that in the near future, I will be able to take the second magical herb."

"Level 40? Not bad, not bad. It can be considered as breaking down and then rebuilding." Chen Cong was slightly delighted when he heard this, and then he showed an expression of understanding.

He paused, then nodded, "You seem to have mentioned the second immortal herb. Over the years, the family has been carefully considering how to use the immortal herb and planning the allocation of personnel." "Since you have such a plan, then do it."

Chen Xiaojun leaned forward slightly and asked inquiringly, "Second Uncle, may I ask if the family has any clear rules regarding the use of immortal herbs? How are the specific rules in this regard formulated?"

Chen Cong stroked his beard gently, his expression calm, he slowly said: "Well, you are already a core member of the family, and the direct descendant of the patriarch, the second heir, your identity is known."

"The last time Old Mengtou broke through to the Title Douluo level, he did not rely on the power of the immortal grass. Therefore, we old men have decided that, in principle, we will not take the immortal grass."

"After all, time is merciless. Our generation is old and our potential has reached its limit. We only need to use ninth-grade precious medicine to regulate our bodies, and the spring water from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is enough for us."

After he finished speaking, an expression of sighing and regret emerged on his face. This decision is not difficult to imagine. A family with long-term ambitions and a good family tradition would make such a choice.

An indescribable atmosphere of melancholy spread in the room, and Chen Xiaojun did not disturb him from reminiscing about the past.

After a long while, Chen Cong came back to his senses and continued, "As for your father and your generation, we will select the best based on their qualifications and potential."

"However, as for the magical herb, the younger you are, the better the effect will be, so it is more suitable for young people like you."

"You, Xiaoyi, your brother Jianjun, Yanwu, and Jianzun, your generation has outstanding talents and unlimited potential, and you all have the hope of achieving the status of Douluo."

Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but ask, "What about the fifth brother?"

The fifth brother, Chen Mu, is Chen Cong’s grandson and only grandson.

Chen Cong was stunned, but did not answer directly. He continued, "Not everyone can get the immortal grass. Good steel should be used on the blade. Your fifth brother is not talented enough. His comprehension is okay, but he is not as good as you guys."

Chen Xiaojun was stunned, "Second Uncle, isn't this too unfair to Fifth Brother?"

Chen Xiaojun waved his hand, paused and said: "Xiaojun, it is impossible to distribute resources equally to everyone."

"Last time, your fifth brother took a ninth-grade precious medicine, and his innate soul power increased by 0.3, reaching 8.1. This is enough."

"This is all thanks to you. We couldn't get a ninth-grade precious medicine in decades."

Then he changed his tone, "According to our experimental data, the lower the innate soul power, the greater the improvement, and the more significant the effect of the precious medicine."

"The ninth-grade precious medicine is known as the Little Immortal Grass. It has its own innate aura. Although its enhancement effect cannot be compared with the real immortal grass, it should not be underestimated. It also has the effect of enhancing innate soul power and cleansing the body. This indirectly confirms what you said at the beginning, that immortal grass can improve the aptitude of cultivation."

He smiled slightly and continued, "At present, there are about a hundred ninth-grade precious medicines in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."

"We plan to keep some for promotion to immortality, which is enough to ensure that every member of the main line of the family has one, and we can also allocate some to follower families and branch lines, or use them to make friends with friendly forces."

"In addition, we will increase the cultivation of seventh- and eighth-grade spiritual medicines, especially spiritual medicines like Jianzhi that are of great benefit to the family, which are our focus of cultivation."

"I hope they can be promoted to the ninth rank soon, forming the blood-forming function of the family's precious medicine, forming a virtuous cycle, and providing continuous support for the family."

At the beginning, the Chen family had planned to build a hundred-year and thousand-year plan around the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. These and the one-stop strategy for the training and promotion of soul masters were all part of the supporting plans.

Chen Cong concluded: "In short, we use the Ninth Grade Precious Medicine and the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire for regular use, and give the Immortal Grade Immortal Herbs to family members who have made particularly significant contributions or have extremely high potential qualifications."

"After several years of exploration and discussion, we have formed a general development charter that takes high-potential people as the leader, core members as the main body, and drives the overall improvement of everyone."

"Of course, these magical herbs and precious medicines need to be exchanged for family contribution points to ensure the relative fairness of resources and to encourage everyone to contribute to the prosperity and development of the family."

"With your huge contribution points, I estimate that after exchanging the five immortal herbs for you and Xiaoyi, there will be no more."

"So, in the future, you should provide more skills like Nine Yin and Nine Yang, breathing techniques, and excellent family development plan policies to increase your contribution value."
