Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1613: Chapter 103: Making a Fortune! Shou Ye Grand Slam_3

Deep within the Demonic Cauldron, a codex fluttered out, and a girl dressed as an alchemy apprentice floated above the codex, cautiously observing Wang Shouye. Her watery, bright eyes carried a mix of curiosity and timidity.

“Shouye, Dan’er is entrusted to you from now on,” said True Monarch Xuan Dan. “I have understood your character and way of doing things. I believe you will surely carry forward the legacy of my Xuan Dan lineage.”

“Shouye, greetings, Master!” Wang Shouye bowed deeply.

Although Duchess of Luo Jia was filled with envy, she still offered her congratulations, saying, “Ling Xiao congratulates Brother Shouye. If you’re willing, I can serve as your guardian on the path.”

“I’ll be relying on you, Miss Ling Xiao.” Wang Shouye returned the courtesy, evidently trusting Duchess of Luo Jia greatly.

After storing the Demonic Cauldron in his Storage Ring, Wang Shouye finally began inheriting the codex.

Several days later, Wang Shouye successfully inherited the Profound Pills Codex, advancing his bloodline talent significantly to the level of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child of Class C.

With this, he was close to breaking through to the Mid Transcendent Void Realm.

At this point, all was finally settled.

Duchess of Luo Jia then stood up and said, “Brother Shouye, since there’s no longer anything for Ling Xiao here, I shall take my leave for now. If you have free time, you can visit me at the North Zhou Royal City.”

As she spoke, Duchess of Luo Jia presented him with a jade pendant.

It was her personal token.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Wang Shouye accepted the still-warm jade pendant and cupped his hands, saying, “I’ll visit Miss Ling Xiao at the North Zhou Royal City after I’ve handled my master’s affairs.”

“Ling Xiao eagerly awaits you.”

Duchess of Luo Jia smiled lightly and turned to leave with elegance.

After Duchess of Luo Jia departed, Wang Shouye once again released the Demonic Cauldron.

“Shouye, it seems you’ve fully inherited the Profound Pills Codex. From today on, you officially belong to my sect. The items accompanying me are also yours to inherit,” said True Monarch Xuan Dan, pointing out to Wang Shouye, “There’s a hidden space in this room. Let me teach you how to unlock it.”

For a Transcendent Void Realm expert capable of tearing through space, creating hidden spaces wasn’t overly difficult, albeit time-consuming. As such, most experts at this level would set up hidden spaces as contingency plans for their legacy.

While this site was not a formal legacy ground, the items in this Dan Chamber were clearly not all of Enlightened One Xuan Dan’s possessions.

Following Xuan Dan’s guidance, Wang Shouye quickly located the mechanism in the Dan Chamber and unlocked the entrance to the hidden space.

Compared to the treasury left behind by Blood Venerate, the hidden space left by Enlightened One Xuan Dan was quite small, measuring only about one zhang square, the type that could be seen entirely at a glance.

As soon as Shouye entered, he saw the figure seated cross-legged at the center of the space. His heart trembled, “Master, this—this is?”

True Monarch Xuan Dan sighed and replied, “That’s right. These are my remains.”

Perhaps due to the extreme closure within the hidden space, the remains hadn’t completely decayed, retaining a human-shaped silhouette despite having dehydrated and shriveled into a mummy-like state.

Though Wang Shouye hadn’t personally experienced it, just hearing the brief account from True Monarch Xuan Dan was enough for him to envision the resoluteness with which his master had faced death.

He felt a pang of admiration and couldn’t help but say, “Master, I’ll take care of your remains.”

As he spoke, he took out a large piece of Spirit Wood, measuring it with a Longsword to craft a thin coffin on-site. Then, lifting the hem of his long robe, he carefully crouched down and placed True Monarch Xuan Dan’s remains into the thin coffin.

True Monarch Xuan Dan stayed silent for quite some time. Only after the remains were properly tended to did he let out a sigh and said, “Good disciple, you’re thoughtful. When I self-destructed back then, it was in utter urgency; I didn’t have time to prepare much. My Storage Ring should still be on my left hand. Lift my sleeve and you should find it there.”

The material used for Xuan Dan’s clothing was exceptional, coupled with the concealed and sealed environment of the hidden space; therefore, even after over twenty thousand years, it remained relatively intact, albeit its sheen had dulled significantly, nearly obscuring its original color.

Following his master’s instructions, Shouye lifted the sleeve and indeed found a jade-white ring with a faint greenish tint.

“This Storage Ring is called ‘Spirit Pot.’ It’s a Divine Spiritual Treasure level Storage Ring. Everything I have left is inside. You can establish a contract and open it to take a look,” True Monarch Xuan Dan explained.

The others like Master Dan Ding were waiting outside and hadn’t entered. Shouye’s Storage Ring contained only some alchemy materials and prepared pills, so he didn’t hesitate to extract everything from the original Storage Ring and directly replaced it with Spirit Pot.

“Phew~ Finally unlocked.” As Wang Shouye’s God Sense imprinted into the Storage Ring, a hearty middle-aged male voice rang out from the Divine Treasure Ring, “Young man, I’m Spirit Pot. Nice to meet you and please take good care of… wait! Xuan Dan, you’re not fully dead?”

The voice of Spirit Pot bore evident surprise.

He had been one of the direct witnesses of those past events and had assumed that True Monarch Xuan Dan’s Divine Soul had long since perished. Unexpectedly, they met again.

“Spirit Pot, long time no see.” True Monarch Xuan Dan’s voice carried a hint of amusement.

“Hahaha~ Not fully dead, huh? That’s great! We can still chat sometimes!” Spirit Pot’s voice was jovial and bold, clearly pleased.

He was evidently a gregarious Artifact Spirit. After exchanging a few words with Xuan Dan, he turned to Wang Shouye and said, “Young man, it seems like you’re the successor Xuan Dan chose for himself. Back when Xuan Dan left the Immortal Dynasty, he left most of the good stuff to his wife and descendants. What remains with me is mostly filler. Still, there are a few items worth mentioning. Wait a moment, I’ll help you pick them out.”
