Chapter 556 554: The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley

Lin Xuan had defeated several powerhouses in a row, and now even Long Chen was beaten. Long Chen was at the Peak of Spirit Pill Stage, yet Lin Xuan had defeated him just like that! This was the Peak of Spirit Pill Stage Cultivation, not the Seventh Layer Spirit Pill Stage. A full six levels separated them. Wasn't his ability to fight across such a gap simply terrifying?

Of course, this was indeed terrifying. But when Lin Xuan used Soul Possession with a soul like a Martial God's, the power he wielded was on a completely different level. Coupled with the full eruption of his Bloodline Power, the stacked effects detonated with enough force to instantly kill a Peak of Spirit Pill Stage Powerhouse!

Perhaps that was a slight exaggeration. Long Chen was mainly just too careless. Who could have expected Lin Xuan's explosive power to be so formidable?

"Before you call others trash, first see if you even have the right to!"

At Lin Xuan's added remark, Long Chen's eyes widened. He was so overcome with rage that he spat out another mouthful of blood and passed out completely.

"Who else?" Lin Xuan looked at them coldly and said, "Didn't you want to witness the power of the Lin Family's 'trash' Bloodline Power? If you've got the guts, then come on up! Anyone who doesn't dare to is just a bunch of trash!"

Lin Xuan practically roared the words. This was something he could not tolerate. Not only had they called his mother a traitor and trash, but they had also called the Bloodline Power—the pride of his Lin Family—trash.

Initially, the Lin Family's Bloodline Power didn't show any remarkable effects; it required continuous effort to grow stronger. It was far inferior to the talents of those born with eighth or Ninth-class Talent, but at least it guaranteed that success could be achieved through hard work.

'And what gives those people with such high innate talent the right to be so arrogant? If their parents had been born with low-level talents, they would never have the status they have today.'

"You—You dare call us trash? I'll fight you this time!" another disciple from the Medicine King Valley stood up, enraged. Their status had been severely challenged.

"Enough!"

Suddenly, a thundering shout echoed from the mountains, halting them in their tracks. A middle-aged man then flew out from within, his incomparably powerful aura suppressing everyone present.

When the crowd saw him approach, they all shut their mouths, not daring to utter another word.

Lin Xuan turned to look and saw that the middle-aged man bore a slight resemblance to Long Yuwei. 'Without a doubt, this is my maternal grandfather—Long Xingyun!'

Long Xingyun walked over slowly, his gait as majestic as a dragon's. He glared at the disciples of his Medicine King Valley and said coldly, "If your skills are inferior, then don't be so arrogant. There is always a higher mountain. Have you all grown accustomed to your arrogance over the years? All of you, stand down! Stop embarrassing yourselves here."

His authority enveloped the area. The pressure from his Spirit King Stage Cultivation was released, causing everyone to feel immense strain. This was the power of Long Xingyun, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley. His word was absolute law.

Not only was his strength formidable, but his skill in Alchemy was absolutely first-class. He was in charge of all the Resurrection Grass, and without his approval, no one could take even a single stalk.

Resurrection Grass was incredibly expensive. If one were to buy it with Primordial Stones, it would be impossible without several billion, or even tens of billions, of them. Of course, in the face of such a priceless treasure, Primordial Stones were practically useless. One needed to trade other things of value, not just simple Primordial Stones.

Resurrection Grass had a tremendous healing effect on soul injuries. To put it dramatically, as long as a person was still alive—even if only a sliver of their soul remained—consuming a Resurrection Grass would allow them to recover quickly. Of course, this didn't apply to the dead; it was nearly impossible to bring them back. But for the living, taking a Resurrection Grass or a Soul Reviving Pill could lead to a swift recovery.

For its specific purpose, the Soul Reviving Pill was more effective than any other Elixir Pill, which was why its price was so exorbitant. While a Soul Reviving Pill could be purchased with Primordial Stones, obtaining the raw Resurrection Grass itself was virtually impossible through such means.

At his command, the disciples looked at each other before quickly departing, not daring to disobey in the slightest. Although Long Yuwei had violated their ancestral teachings, no one dared to blame Long Xingyun for it. The reason was simple: without Long Xingyun, the Medicine King Valley would arguably lose half of its power.

"Father…" Upon seeing her father, his head now full of white hair, Long Yuwei's eyes reddened, and tears welled up uncontrollably. It had been so many years. This was the first time she had seen her father in all that time.

"Don't call me Father. I don't deserve the title!" Long Xingyun turned, his body trembling slightly as he glanced at Lin Xuan, but he still ended up with his back facing them.

With his back to them, his eyes reddened as well. 'After so many years, I've finally seen my daughter again. But I can't let them see me lose my composure.'

"Father, I know my sins are unforgivable, but I'm begging you to save Chenyun!" After speaking, she knelt, facing Long Xingyun's back. "If you are willing to save Chenyun, Father, I am willing to spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins here in Medicine King Valley. I will never leave again, not even for a moment!"

She spoke with absolute conviction. This was a decision she had made long before coming here; her only hope was that her father would give a Resurrection Grass to Lin Chenyun.

"The Resurrection Grass doesn't just belong to me; it belongs to the entire Medicine King Valley. Do you think you can trade your life for one? You overestimate your own worth." Long Xingyun sighed. He did control all the Resurrection Grass, but that didn't mean he could simply give it away. Doing so would send the entire Medicine King Valley into an uproar.

After all, Alchemy also requires Soul Power. A critical failure could result in soul trauma, which was why Soul Reviving Pills were so important. Resurrection Grass was already rare; giving away a single stalk meant far fewer Soul Reviving Pills could be made. This was the very foundation of the Medicine King Valley's prosperity.

"Mother…" Lin Xuan clenched his teeth and tried to pull his mother up. "Mother, you can't do this. If we save Father, but you aren't with us, what's the point?"

Long Yuwei, however, did not budge. She remained firmly in place, and no matter how hard Lin Xuan pulled, he could not get her to stand. Lin Xuan's physical strength was astonishing, but it was no match for Long Yuwei's. The terrifying intensity of the Elemental Power within her body could immobilize him with its sheer presence, let alone allow him to help her up.

"But where else can we find a Resurrection Grass?" Long Yuwei shook her head. If she knew of any other place, she would have gone there long ago. Why else would she swallow her pride and return here?

"Well…" For a moment, Lin Xuan was at a loss. He really didn't know where else they could get a Resurrection Grass. 'The Demon Race Continent must have some, but where?'

"Besides, Grandfather already said that even if you came back, you still wouldn't get it. What's the point of this?" Lin Xuan had lost all hope in this place.

"Father… is there really no other way?" Long Yuwei's voice was choked with sobs. "Even if there's truly no other option, then before we leave… please, just take a good look at your grandson…"

Long Xingyun's powerful frame shuddered. He fought back the tears in his eyes, turned to face them, and said, "Actually… there is one way for you to obtain a Resurrection Grass…"
