Chapter 1388 Seed of the World Tree
Chen Xuan said directly, "Why are you looking for me? I don't think we have much to talk about."
"I really don't have much to talk to you about either, I just came to give you something," the guy said in a dark tone.
"Give me something? What?"
Chen Xuan was startled.
A moment later, the black mist transformed into a palm, holding a small box the size of a palm, which appeared before Chen Xuan.
This small box was entirely black, covered with complex runes. These runes were not of the mortal world, but from the underworld, obscure and difficult to understand. Chen Xuan only recognized a few.
However, from these runes, Chen Xuan could deduce that they were used to isolate yin and yang, and suppress yang energy. They were common items in the underworld, just as runes for suppressing yin evil and malevolent energy were more common in the mortal world.
"This is for me?"
"Of course."
"What is this? Is it harmful?"
Chen Xuan had just reached out his hand, but then hesitated. After all, what if this guy wanted to harm him?
"Do you want it or not? If not, I'm taking it away!"
The guy said impatiently.
"I want it!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan realized that this thing might be a treasure, and quickly took it.
It hurt!
Damn it, the moment he took the item, he touched the mist, and it hurt so much!
However, Chen Xuan no longer cared about these things. He wanted to know what was in the box. He slowly opened the box, and a burst of golden light shot out, along with a powerful and extremely yang aura.
Even Qin Qianqian's father avoided it, leaning to the side.
Although he was one of the Ten Yama Kings, they almost all shared a common trait: they were all afraid of extremely yang and hard objects.
It was conceivable, what kind of thing would even the Ten Yama Kings fear so much?
He opened the box, and the contents within also came into Chen Xuan's sight, but Chen Xuan was dumbfounded, because the box contained a golden seed!
A seed of an unknown plant...
What do they want to give me this for?
Are they expecting me to farm?
In an instant, Chen Xuan couldn't understand. However, he saw shock, horror, envy, jealousy, and a hint of excitement in Qin Qianqian's father's eyes.
He knew that this might truly be something good, he just didn't know what it was.
"What is this?"
"The seed of the World Tree!"
Qin Qianqian's father stared intently at the seed, his voice slightly hoarse.
"World Tree?"
"Legend has it that at the center of the world stands a towering tree, and the place we live is merely a fruit on that World Tree. But one day, the World Tree suffered a great blow, and it became weak, and the entire world grew dim."
"Every hundred years, the World Tree produces three seeds that fall to the mortal world. Legend has it that if a new World Tree grows, our entire world will undergo a tremendous change."
"However, thousands of years have passed, and we have not welcomed a new world."
Qin Qianqian's father explained, his tone filled with a sense of time, as if he knew how wonderful a new world would be.
"Then what's the use of giving me this thing?"
"Although this thing may not necessarily give birth to a World Tree, once you swallow it, it can mend the damage caused by the cold energy in your body, and it will also bring immense benefits to your cultivation."
Qin Qianqian's father explained.
"Did you give this to me?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head again and said, "No, you didn't give this to me. Who asked you to give it to me?"
Qin Qianqian's father immediately said, "It was your Chen family who asked me to give it to you. It seems they care a lot about you. I hope you don't let them down. If I had known they cared about you so much, I wouldn't have bothered... You don't know how much this guy hit me... Hmph! You're on your own!"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Qianqian's father disappeared, and the car became warm again.
"That ancestor from the Chen family? It seems that everything recorded in the Chen Family Annals is true!"
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
There were indeed people in the underworld of the Chen family in the capital!
He glanced at the seed of the World Tree, frowned, and then stuffed it into his pocket. It wouldn't be too late to consume it later.
He called Li Er and told him he wasn't going back, then he drove back to the Su family in the capital.
"Chen Xuan!"
As soon as he walked in, a cheer erupted, followed by a graceful figure rushing into his arms. The fragrance was intoxicating, and Wei Linlin's slender legs clamped around his waist.
"Linlin, why are you here?"
Chen Xuan tilted his head back and saw a smiling Wei Linlin, surprised.
"I came with my dad, he said he wanted to see you guys," Wei Linlin said with a playful grin.
"Linlin, get down quickly. How old are you? Why are you so ill-mannered? How will you get married in the future?"
Wei Changgeng hurried over and reprimanded.
From Wei Changgeng's gaze, Chen Xuan saw a trace of fear towards him. It was understandable. Chen Xuan was now one of the Ten Great Revered Ones of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, a top figure at the pinnacle of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade.
Compared to Chen Xuan, Wei Changgeng was a thousand miles behind, on a completely different level!
"I'm not getting down. Chen Xuan is my savior, and I've decided to pledge myself to him!" Wei Linlin said proudly.
"Whether you can pledge yourself to him or not depends on your sister Yun Xi."
Wei Changgeng said with an embarrassed expression.
At this moment, Su Yun Xi came over with a plate of fruit and smiled charmingly, "Linlin, you should wait until you reach the legal age for marriage."
Wei Linlin pouted and obediently jumped down from Chen Xuan, lowering her head to look at her full chest: "Linlin is not young anymore..."
As soon as she said this, it caused a burst of laughter.
Wei Linlin, this little devil, was too cute!
Chen Xuan also chuckled in amusement.
"Chen Xuan, thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be alive." Wei Linlin looked at Chen Xuan and said seriously.
"Isn't this what I should do?"
Chen Xuan smiled.
"As a token of my gratitude, this young lady has decided to take you out to play. What do you think?"
"Gratitude? Are you trying to kill me? If I had known this, I wouldn't have saved you!"
Chen Xuan's words caused another round of laughter. Wei Linlin's face turned red, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Do you know how many people are lining up to invite me to go out and play? I'm doing you a favor."
"I've been in the capital for so long, I know exactly where the fun places and good food are. You're getting a great deal."
"Alright, alright, I know, I promise, okay?"
Chen Xuan, with a helpless expression, finally agreed.
At this moment, Grandpa Su also came out and said with a smile, "Changgeng, since you're here, please sit down. We're about to have dinner."
"Old Master, please don't be so polite, I'm not an outsider." Wei Changgeng smiled.
Grandpa Su clearly didn't treat Wei Changgeng as an outsider. He sat down at the dining table, and soon a few more dishes were served. Then everyone sat around the table, eating and drinking, enjoying themselves.
At the dining table, everyone learned about Wei Linlin's situation from Wei Changgeng, and they were all scared pale. When they learned that Chen Xuan had saved Wei Linlin, they were relieved.
However, Wei Changgeng did not reveal the dangers involved, especially the events that took place in the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, nor Chen Xuan's identity.
