“He won’t stop there,” Yunxiao said lightly, “there will be opportunities for us to catch him. We’d better get rid of the cold poison in Old Master Chen’s body.”

Li Chunyang’s face grew dark. Holding the small bottle of Melting Pills left by Sun Zhengzong, he said sadly, “Even Sun Zhengzong, a third-tier alchemist, can’t cure Dasheng, so what else can we do? Those fourth-tier alchemists are not accessible to people at our level, let alone getting to invite them here.”

Yunxiao walked around the barrel and then said in a calm voice, “It is indeed very difficult to completely get rid of this cold poison. To refine the corresponding medicine, I need to have the soul power of a third-tier alchemist. However, if it is only to suppress the poison, I can do it with my current cultivation base.”

His voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in Li Chunyang’s ears, filling his head with a rumbling noise!

“You…What did you say? Boy, what did you say!” Li Chunyang grabbed Yunxiao’s arm excitedly and said incredulously, “You better not lie to me!”

“Sun Zhengzong was on the right track,” Yunxiao said seriously. “To get rid of this extreme cold poison, medicinal pills and your Martial King’s energy are the treatment. However, his knowledge is too shallow. The medicine he prescribed is not quite correct, and there is a problem with your energy as well. It must be the energy of pure Yang.”

“The energy of pure Yang…” Li Chunyang said anxiously, “In Tianshui, only Commander Xiao, Zhong Lishan, and I are Martial Kings, and none of us walk the path of pure Yang. Where do you want me to find a Martial King of pure Yang?”

Yunxiao smiled and said, “I’ve got one in mind, but I don’t know if she’s willing to help.”

Li Chunyang blurted out, “Who is it?”

No matter who this person was, as long as she was in Tianshui now, he would bring her here immediately.

“The commander of the State Guardian’s Fourth Unit, Luo Yunshang. Although her strength is a little weaker, what she is cultivating is indeed the energy of pure Yang.”

At first, Yunxiao was wondering why Yunshang cultivated this kind of male technique, but he got his answer later when he learned that she was a disciple of Shenxiao Temple. There was a supreme mystic technique of pure Yang in Shenxiao Temple which could only be cultivated by girls with Nine Yang True Bodies.

Girls with Nine Yang True Bodies were extremely rare, so only a few people had cultivated this mystic technique in the past tens of thousands of years. However, all those who cultivated it had become peak Martial Sovereigns and reigned supreme over the world.

Li Chunyang froze for a moment and then said, “That little girl does have pure Yang energy. I wonder how she cultivated it! Yunxiao, you didn’t lie to me, did you? Can you really suppress the cold poison in Dasheng’s body? If it is true, I’ll go and bring that little girl here now!”

“Not now. I need to first refine some medicinal pills that can suppress the cold poison. But the ingredients…”

Li Chunyang pulled out a key and threw it to Yunxiao. “This is the key to the family secret vault. I’ve always kept it with me. Apart from that extorted by Sun Zhengzong, the rest of the family’s wealth is in it. See if what you need is in there and let me know what is missing. I’ll find it immediately!”

His spirits rose as soon as he heard that Chen Dasheng could be treated. Now, even if Yunxiao wanted the moon or stars in the sky, he would find a way to bring them down!

Yunxiao’s eyes lit up. Although he had never visited the family’s secret vault, as one of the most powerful families in Tianshui, there must be many good things in it. What he lacked most now was all kinds of resources that could increase his cultivation speed.

“Wait for my news!” After leaving behind these words, he left the underground room.

There were already many members of the Li Family gathered outside, all of whom were talking and sighing. Obviously, they were at a loss about the situation, and none of them could stand up and make decisions. As soon as Yunxiao appeared, everyone was overjoyed and hurried toward him.

Yunxiao made a quiet gesture and then said to Li Baifeng, “Fourth Uncle, take me to the family’s secret vault.”

“Secret vault?” Li Baifeng was taken aback. “That’s the restricted area of the family, and the key…”

His words were stuck in his throat as his eyes grew wide and stared at a small golden medallion in Yunxiao’s hand. “You…Have you seen the Old Master? Is he alright?”

Yunxiao nodded as he took out a key and tossed it between his hands a few times. “Fourth Uncle, you’d better not ask too much and just take me to the secret vault. This is the order from the Old Master himself.”

“Understand, understand!” Li Baifeng shivered with excitement and seemed to have found his mainstay as he hurriedly took Yunxiao to the secret vault.

Yunxiao sighed to himself. These members of the Li Family were too pampered and lacked trials and tribulations. With their Old Master disappearing, none of them could stand up and take the lead. Also, it appeared to him that his father’s long-term deployment out there was a deliberate act of Qin Zheng.

The secret vault was locked by two huge copper doors. Eighteen superior-grade Primordial Stones were inlaid on the doors, from which Primordial Qi kept flowing out and pouring into the doors. Colorful lines were carved on either side of it, forming a guardian array.

“Vermilion Bird Divine Fire Array!”

Startled, Yunxiao ran his hand over the copper doors in disbelief. Sure enough, those colorful lines vaguely outlined the pattern of a vermilion bird. Streams of Primordial Qi were swirling on the doors, making them slightly warm to touch.

Li Baifeng was stunned, “Yunxiao, you can recognize this array? How is this possible! Old Master had invited many experts to examine it, but no one could recognize it.”

Yunxiao carefully studied the surroundings. The secret vault was built into the mountain and surrounded by solid diamond rocks. He asked, “How long has this secret vault been in existence for?”

Li Baifeng shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I have heard from former elders that this secret vault seems to have existed before the Li Family set foot here. It was not built by our family.”

Yunxiao nodded and got rid of the doubt from his mind. This Vermilion Bird Divine Fire Array was a ninth-grade array and had been lost for a long time. Although some versions were circulating on the continent, they were all incomplete versions. If the ancestors of the Li Family had the ability to construct this array, then they must be a superpower that held sway over the entire continent, and not a small family dwelling in a mere state of Tianshui.

He took out the key, an animal-shaped accessory that was also made of copper, and gently placed it in a hole in the door. Suddenly, a stream of Primordial Qi flowed out the Primordial Stone and circulated around the lines, then the doors swung open with a loud rumble.

Yunxiao felt the power of the array on the doors with his divine sense. It was already very weak, proving that this array had existed for at least tens of thousands of years, and probably would not last much longer.

After the two doors were opened, a long narrow tunnel appeared in front of him, leading straight into the ground. An oil lamp was placed every three meters on both sides of the tunnel, inside of which was a bright pearl.

“The secret vault has always been a restricted area of the family. No one can enter it without the permission of the Patriarch. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Yunxiao nodded slightly and went in. The tunnel was not long, and he soon arrived at a cave abode. It was full of boxes and shelves, piled up with a large number of various materials and heaps of Primordial Stones.

His eyes burst into bright light as he glanced around with horror. His gaze did not stop at those resources, but looked at the cave abode itself. The more he looked, the deeper the shock in his eyes became.

“This… this…” He suppressed his shock and burst into laughter. “Haha! It turns out that this place is an interstitial space! Such a large interstitial space must be supported by some divine artifact. No wonder the doors are guarded by the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire Array!”

He repressed his excitement and quickly searched around the cave, muttering to himself, “Where is it? Where is the support of this interstitial space?” His divine sense radiated to the greatest extent, exploring the cave abode. Suddenly, his gaze fell on a corner full of boxes.

A large number of Primordial Stones and boxes containing various treasures were thrown away like rubbish by him. Soon, a long black tablet appeared in the corner, quietly standing there. Under the erosion of the years, the writing on the tablet had become illegible, and the tablet itself had been so seriously worn that it seemed to have gone through many vicissitudes.

Yunxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and his pupils suddenly curved into a demonic-looking crescent shape. The form of the inscription on the tablet was constantly twisting and changing in his eyes.

It was a very powerful eye technique cultivated by Yunxiao, which could only be used with a strong soul power. What he now had was only the soul power of a first-tier alchemist, so it was very demanding for him to use this technique, and the effect was little. In any case, the form of the ancient tablet began to gradually become clear in his pupils.

At this moment, the true-form of the tablet seemed to have received some kind of induction and suddenly gave off a faint light. Yunxiao’s pupils constricted as a strong counterforce directly invaded his mind through his pupils, burning his soul!

“AHHH!”

He covered his eyes and let out a scream while being sent flying backward, before falling to the ground and coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He got up and opened his eyes slightly, causing a great deal of blood to pour out of his eyes. But, instead of being terrified, he laughed wildly with exultation. “Haha! I can’t believe this tablet actually contains such tremendous power. I’ll see what you really are!”

He walked toward the tablet carefully. His hands were constantly changing between incantation gestures, and his fingers finally formed a strange shape. Rings of faint blue light spread out of his hands as he shouted, “Like a dream, like an illusion, the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water!”

The blue light fell out of his hand like a mirror and landed on the weathered stone tablet.

Wherever the blue light passed, the tablet began to change as if it had been washed. The traces left by the years on its surface disappeared instantly, and a brand-new tablet stood on the ground. It had a translucent jade color, with a colorful light gleaming across its surface, and streams of energy swirling around it. A few gold characters flashed from top to bottom, one by one.

Yunxiao’s pupils constricted as he blurted out in horror, “Divine Realm Tablet!”

Three gold characters, Divine Realm Tablet, were flashing on the surface of the jade tablet, emitting a dazzling light!

Blood flowed out of Yunxiao’s bloodshot eyes again. Gnashing his teeth in pain, he closed his eyes.
