Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

Even so, Chen Cuicui still found Wen Qingye’s words utterly unbelievable. She stared directly at him and demanded, ”Then you tell me, why can’t Thousand-Year-Old Soft Strength and Sinew Stretch Herb be used together?”

After speaking, Chen Cuicui felt a little smug. She herself had pondered this question for a long time without finding an answer, and she didn’t believe Wen Qingye could possibly have one.

Wen Qingye gave Chen Cuicui a knowing smile and said, ”Thousand-Year-Old Soft Strength and Sinew Stretch Herb are both Yang Attribute Supreme Treasures. Thousand-Year-Old Soft Strength invigorates the blood and facilitates Divine Communication, while Sinew Stretch Herb stimulates a person’s potential. They can be used together, but the resulting medicinal effect is a bit too intense. It’s not suitable for you.”

Chen Cuicui froze, then asked with even greater confusion, ”What do you mean? Why isn’t it suitable for me? And why did my master say the same thing?”

Just then, a female disciple from Danxuan Peak whispered a few words in Chen Cuicui’s ear. Chen Cuicui’s face immediately flushed beet red. She glared at Wen Qingye and spat softly under her breath.

”I have to go back and try this!”

Miaoxuan recalled Wen Qingye’s recent words. It was like a sudden enlightenment, her mind churning. With a sharp cry, she hurriedly dashed toward the main hall in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, Miaoxuan vanished from everyone’s sight.

Everyone was stunned.

’Could what Wen Qingye said really be that important? Otherwise, why would Elder Miaoxuan have left in such a panic?’

Involuntarily, everyone turned to look at Wen Qingye. They recalled how he had just faced the people of Danxuan Peak alone, completely unflustered, calm, and composed, answering every question fluently.

Seeing this, the people of Danxuan Peak looked at each other in dismay. None of them dared to question Wen Qingye any further, and they all fell silent.

This only served to make them believe him even more. One by one, they stared at Wen Qingye, their expressions a mixture of shock and deep thought.

Wen Qingye glanced at Huang Zishan and said flatly, ”Next time, you might not be so lucky.”

A shiver ran down Huang Zishan’s spine as she met Wen Qingye’s gaze. Mo Qing was about to speak, but when she saw Wen Qingye’s eyes turn to her, she immediately clamped her mouth shut.

Yum Baobao, chin held high, shot a triumphant look at Huang Zishan and Mo Qing. Then, she grabbed Wen Qingye’s sleeve and said, ”Brother Wen, let’s go. You ate so many Returning Fragrance Pills anyway. We’ve definitely come out ahead!”

Yum Baobao said this quite loudly, as if making sure Huang Zishan and Mo Qing could hear.

Wen Qingye nodded and smiled. ”Alright, let’s go.”

With that, Yum Baobao tugged on Wen Qingye’s sleeve and started walking down the mountain.

”Damn it! Letting that Yum Baobao get so smug!” Watching the look in Yum Baobao’s eyes as she walked past, Huang Zishan felt like she was about to go insane.

Mo Qing stared at Wen Qingye’s back, gritting her teeth. She snorted coldly, ”Hmph! That Wen Qingye... I’ve never been humiliated like this before. I will not let him get away with it!”

Huang Zishan seemed to remember something and asked, ”Qing’Er, isn’t Wen Qingye supposed to be crippled? Why is his cultivation improving so quickly?”

Mo Qing also shook her head. ”I don’t know either. Let’s go back and investigate. This Wen Qingye is not simple. He even knows so much about the Alchemy Skill. I just wonder if he can actually perform Alchemy.”

Hearing this, Huang Zishan was startled as well. She said with some hesitation, ”He probably can’t, right...?”

For some reason, they both fell silent.

.......

「At the entrance of Wen Qingye’s Cave Mansion.」

Yum Baobao stood on a rock, hands on her hips, and burst out laughing.

”Brother Wen, you’re amazing! That was incredible! Baobao is so happy this time! HAHAHAHA!”

Wen Qingye shook his head helplessly. ”Alright, come down now. If you fall, you’ll just end up crying again.”

”What are you talking about, Brother Wen? You’re making fun of Baobao!” Yum Baobao pouted, then laughed again. ”Brother Wen, let’s see who dares to call you a good-for-nothing now! So what if your meridians are cracked? You still improve faster and are stronger than them!”

Wen Qingye smiled, but he didn’t share Yum Baobao’s optimism. ’My cracked meridians aren’t a simple matter,’ he thought. ’As my cultivation continues to advance, the fissures are actually widening. It’s giving me a growing sense of crisis.’

Yum Baobao jumped down and clapped her hands. ”Alright, Brother Wen, I’m heading back now. I’m completely satisfied for today!”

”Mhm, head on back,” Wen Qingye nodded with a smile.

With that, Yum Baobao summoned a Flying Sword, waved to Wen Qingye, and departed.

Just then, Wen Qingye saw Sunx Li approaching in the distance.

”Third Senior Brother, come in and sit for a while,” Wen Qingye couldn’t help but smile.

The two of them slowly walked into the Cave Mansion and sat down.

Sunx Li’s complexion had become a bit more ruddy. He said, ”Junior Brother, you were truly incredible this time. Not only did you defeat four disciples at the Fourth Heaven of Destruction Realm with a single sword strike, but you also intimidated Cai Cheng. Amazing!”

Wen Qingye waved his hand, smiling without saying a word.

Sunx Li’s own aptitude was actually quite good. And although he was Wen Qingye’s senior brother, his Bone Age was seven months younger than Wen Qingye’s, meaning he still had great potential to be tapped.

Suddenly, Wen Qingye’s brow furrowed. ”Thank you for your kind intentions this time, Senior Brother. But in my opinion, you should be a bit more careful from now on.”

Sunx Li nodded and said in a grave voice, ”Don’t worry. I usually stay on Life Peak, focusing on my cultivation. With Life Peak’s reputation, Hua Du and his cronies wouldn’t dare to cause trouble. You’re the one who needs to be careful of that Sunx Shijun. I don’t think he’ll let this go so easily, especially since you forced him to kneel on Danxuan Peak.”

Wen Qingye shook his head and smiled. ”It’s fine. I don’t pay him any mind. You, on the other hand, Senior Brother... I hear you have feelings for Hua Yuling of Absolute Peak?”

Hearing Wen Qingye’s words, Sunx Li was silent for a long moment before finally nodding. Then he sighed heavily. ”What’s the use in liking her? The best thing to do right now is nothing at all.”

Wen Qingye asked, ”Hua Yuling is Hua Lie’s daughter, right?”

”Yes, and Hua Du’s younger sister,” Sunx Li confirmed with a nod.

”Does Hua Yuling know? What does she think?”

Sunx Li said helplessly, ”Hua Lie won’t agree, so Yuling can’t do anything about it.”

Wen Qingye patted Sunx Li’s shoulder and smiled. ”Third Senior Brother, there are some things you don’t want to regret when it’s already too late.”

Sunx Li looked up at Wen Qingye, his expression pained. ”I know that, but I don’t have a single idea what to do.”

Wen Qingye stared ahead, lost in thought, his mind on unknown matters.

Sunx Li said suddenly, ”By the way, in two months, it’s the grand birthday celebration for Absolute Peak’s Hua Lie Peak Master. Did you know?”

”Grand birthday celebration? Hua Lie?” A flicker appeared in Wen Qingye’s eyes.

”That’s right, his grand birthday. When the time comes, it won’t just be people from our Celestial Profound Sect. People from several surrounding Sects will also come, even from Thousand Nether Valley and the Sword Sect. These are all people on good terms with Absolute Peak’s Hua Lie Peak Master, and they’ll all come to celebrate. I need to prepare something for the occasion,” Sunx Li said, gritting his teeth.

Wen Qingye asked curiously, ”Oh? Will anyone from the Taiyi Pavilion be coming?”

Sunx Li shook his head. ”No, I don’t think so. I’ve heard Hua Lie Peak Master despises the Taiyi Pavilion. It seems he isn’t on good terms with anyone from there.”

’Why wouldn’t Hua Lie be on good terms with people from Taiyi Pavilion?’ Wen Qingye wondered. ’He has friends in Thousand Nether Valley, the Sword Sect, Baoling Temple, and other sects, but not a single one in Taiyi Pavilion. Is it to hide himself? The more he acts this way, the more suspicious he seems.’

”Alright, Junior Brother, I have to go. I’m going to start preparing right now. For this grand birthday, I must present an exceptionally precious gift, something that will make Hua Lie Peak Master see me in a new light!”

Sunx Li’s eyes were filled with hope as he quickly walked out of Wen Qingye’s Cave Mansion.

Wen Qingye watched Sunx Li leave and fell into deep thought. ’Considering what Guo Gao said, this Hua Lie is becoming more and more suspicious.’
