Chapter 208 Three Matters
Finally, Chen Xuan took out a broken porcelain shard.
Almost subconsciously, he poured the profound green aura into the broken porcelain shard, and immediately, his expression changed slightly.
Almost instantly, a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed from the broken porcelain shard into his body.
Bang bang bang!
A series of muffled sounds suddenly echoed within Chen Xuan's body.
Chen Xuan's realm skyrocketed like a rocket, and in the blink of an eye, he ascended from level three hundred and one of Qi Cultivation directly to level three hundred and five of Qi Cultivation!
A powerful aura emanated, causing the surrounding passersby to weaken and fall to the ground.
They wanted to get up, but they couldn't even move a finger, their faces filled with terror.
Chen Xuan revealed a look of joy, then withdrew all his aura.
At this moment, the surrounding people could move. They scanned their surroundings as if they had seen a ghost, but seeing nothing, they quickly got up from the ground, turned around, and fled!
Chen Xuan glanced at the porcelain shard, which had lost its spiritual energy. He knew it was a gift his father had specially left for him, and he hadn't expected his father to have calculated this far!
Was this the power of a Grandmaster Feng Shui Master?
This was too terrifying!
After all, even a diviner skilled in deducing the future might not be able to calculate so meticulously!
Afterward, Chen Xuan started the engine and eagerly drove to Qingwu Mountain!
After parking the car at the Su family villa, Chen Xuan strode into the living room.
Su Yunxi sat on the sofa, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. Her exceptionally beautiful face carried a hint of sadness. At this moment, the bewildered Chen Xuan did not notice the subtle change on Su Yunxi's face.
Chen Xuan looked at Su Yunxi and asked urgently, "Yunxi, is Uncle Su in the study?"
Su Yunxi frowned and stared at the anxious Chen Xuan, "What do you need Dad for? Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened, I just have some things I want to ask Uncle Su."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan was about to head towards the study.
Su Yunxi said, "An hour ago, he left Jiangzhou for work."
"Ah?"
Chen Xuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Su Qian to leave Jiangzhou so soon after the banquet.
He immediately called Su Qian, but the call couldn't be connected: "Yunxi, why can't I get through to Uncle Su's phone?"
"His phone is often unreachable after he goes to work," Su Yunxi reminded him softly.
Chen Xuan nodded, sat down on the sofa, and then composed a text message with his questions for Su Qian. If he saw it, he should reply.
Su Yunxi seemed to remember something and said to Chen Xuan, "Before Dad left, he asked you to do three things after he left."
"What things?" Chen Xuan's brows twitched.
Su Yunxi said faintly, "The first thing is that by the end of the year, a group of people will come looking for you, asking you to enter an ancient ruin with them."
"The second thing is that after going to the ancient ruin, regardless of the outcome, you should move to the provincial capital to live."
"The third thing is, under unnecessary circumstances, try not to conflict with the Su family in the capital."
Chen Xuan nodded.
It seemed that Su Qian had already planned his future life trajectory.
Su Qian also wanted him to step onto the more expansive stage of the provincial capital.
In Chen Xuan's opinion, moving to the provincial capital was only a matter of time. After all, if he stayed in Jiangzhou forever, it would be almost impossible to step on the Su family of the capital.
Reducing conflicts with the Su family in the capital was Su Qian's way of protecting him.
What puzzled Chen Xuan was, what was the ancient ruin? Why did Su Qian want him to go to an ancient ruin with a group of people?
"Yunxi, do you know what an ancient ruin is?" Chen Xuan asked Su Yunxi suspiciously.
Su Yunxi shook her head, "I've never heard of it."
"Did Uncle Su say when he would return?"
"Dad said he'd try to be back before your decisive battle with Su Ning."
"En!"
"Now that they're all gone, why don't we have your mother come live with us?" Su Yunxi said thoughtfully.
Clearly, although Chen Xuan had married into the family, Su Yunxi had never treated Chen Xuan as an赘婿 (son-in-law who lives with the wife's family).
"No need, my mother is already living in the countryside with Aunt Tang," Chen Xuan said with a wry smile.
"It's like they planned it," Su Yunxi said with a helpless expression.
After dinner, Chen Xuan returned to his room to rest.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's phone vibrated. Upon checking, he saw it was a voice message from Su Qian.
"Chen Xuan, you must have obtained the ancient jade that belongs to the Chen family. Some things should be told to you."
"Your father, Chen Jianhua, is also under the curse of the Ten Yama Kings."
Chen Xuan instantly became nervous, his breathing becoming rapid. He eagerly clicked on the voice message below.
"Your father and I met during an archaeological expedition to an ancient ruin in Changbai Mountain. Later, we went through life and death together, and then traveled to several other ruins, enduring hardships and forging a deep friendship. Later, we participated in another major operation. Upon returning, we discovered that everyone who had gone to the ancient ruin was cursed by the Ten Yama Kings."
"We attempted to find a way to break the curse of the Ten Yama Kings from ancient books, but we couldn't. So, we went to many forbidden places, trying to find a way to break the curse, but still found no solution."
"Your father is also cursed, but you don't have to worry. With your father's abilities, even the Underworld fears him. He lives much more freely than I do. He might have already found a solution." There was a trace of helplessness and沧桑 (vicissitude) in his tone.
Chen Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It seemed his earlier guess was correct. His father, Chen Jianhua, was also cursed by the Ten Yama Kings, and because he lost his lifespan, he encountered Black and White Impermanence, who were responsible for the souls' capture.
However, although Chen Jianhua had lost his lifespan, the Underworld feared Chen Jianhua's strength and dared not seize his soul to escort him to the Underworld. Due to the rules of heaven, Chen Jianhua might slowly turn into a zombie. Fortunately, there were still medicinal herbs in the world that could prevent zombification, and these herbs were much more common than those that increased lifespan.
Chen Jianhua's disappearance was likely to find a way to break the curse of the Ten Yama Kings!
"What kind of operation did you participate in back then?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.
What kind of place would offend the Ten Yama Kings?
Su Qian quickly replied, "This is a highly classified matter. No one is allowed to leak it, and I cannot say too much. Perhaps you will know in the future."
Chen Xuan stopped asking.
Just as Chen Xuan thought the conversation was over, Su Qian proactively sent another message.
"Chen Xuan, an ancient ruin will be opened in Jiangzhou. According to reliable information, there will be a sacred medicine for prolonging life in this ancient ruin. My old bones want to live a few more years and see you and Yunxi give me a healthy grandson. I place all my hopes on you. You must enter the ancient ruin with them and find a way to obtain that sacred medicine for prolonging life. That's all for now, the signal will be lost soon."
Sacred medicine was countless times more precious than spiritual medicine!
"Uncle Su, don't worry, I will definitely help you get that sacred medicine for prolonging life!" Chen Xuan said solemnly.
