Chapter 589: Were These Two Cultivation Techniques Adapted by the Old Dragon King?

Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Were These Two Cultivation Techniques Adapted by the Old Dragon King?

Yang Jian nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood in frustration!

He had been the one to cut open this "Waste Stone" himself!

Yang Jian couldn’t believe that this "Waste Stone" actually contained such precious Jade Marrow!

Since the Jinling Yang Family’s founding, they had only ever obtained three pieces of Jade Marrow in total!

And the fourth piece... he had personally tossed it onto the ground...

Yang Jian hated Cheng Yuan’s guts, but he could only force an awkward laugh. "Cheng Yuan certainly has a good eye. Brother Huangfu must have taught him well."

"Hahahaha!"

As the two chatted and laughed, Cheng Yuan finished carving out all the Jade Marrow.

Cheng Yuan already had one piece of Jade Marrow, so he magnanimously offered the new one to the Old Dragon King. "Teacher, this piece of Jade Marrow is for you. Consider it a formal gift for accepting me as your disciple."

The Old Dragon King smiled and pushed the Jade Marrow back. "Xiaoyuan, you keep it. This thing is completely useless to me. It would be a waste for me to have it."

"Well, alright then..."

After putting away the Jade Marrow, Cheng Yuan made a quick calculation. ’The Small Jade Bottle containing the Elixirs should have cooled down by now.’ He suggested they depart, "Master, I really can’t carry anything else. Shall we go?"

The Old Dragon King nodded slightly. "Let’s go."

"I’ll see you out!"

Yang Jian very attentively saw the two out of the Jinling Yang Family estate. Watching their figures disappear around the street corner, Yang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. ’Those two menaces are finally gone!’

Cheng Yuan and the Old Dragon King moved quickly, reaching the Dragon Flame Inn in less than five minutes.

At the inn’s entrance, the Old Dragon King stopped, turned his head, and looked at Cheng Yuan with a very serious gaze. "Xiaoyuan, can you tell me what tricks you pulled in the Yang Family’s Mansion Elixir Medicine Area?"

Cheng Yuan hadn’t intended to hide it from the Old Dragon King and answered truthfully, "I mixed the Dissolving Pills into the Essence Enhancing Pills."

The Old Dragon King asked doubtfully, "Just Dissolving Pills? You didn’t mix in any Poison Pills?"

Cheng Yuan grinned, took a Small Jade Bottle from his pocket, and poured out all the Elixirs inside.

"Master, I heard you also practice Alchemy, so you must have a deep understanding of medicinal properties. Please, take a look for yourself."

The Old Dragon King picked up one of the Elixirs and began to seriously analyze its medicinal properties.

Soon, the Old Dragon King had determined the Elixir’s medicinal properties.

There really were no Poison Pills mixed in, only Dissolving Pills.

The Old Dragon King let out a slight sigh of relief. To be honest, he had taken a huge risk by accepting Cheng Yuan as his disciple.

After all, Cheng Yuan possessed the notoriously evil Ancestral Witch True Body.

If Cheng Yuan were to go down the wrong path, the entire Ancient Martial Realm would face a catastrophe!

’Fortunately, Cheng Yuan’s disposition isn’t malevolent yet.’

"Xiaoyuan, you’re a genius! Your understanding of Alchemy far surpasses my own! If your power were sufficient, you might even have a chance to refine Six Patterns Elixirs."

"Hehe..."

The Old Dragon King, feeling more at ease, said gently, "Xiaoyuan, your men must be getting anxious. Let’s put our things away and gather in the banquet hall at once."

In reality, Cheng Yuan could have put everything away in an instant.

He could still cram a few more things into his Jade Pendant Space.

However, the Jade Pendant was Cheng Yuan’s greatest secret.

Even though the Old Dragon King was his master, he didn’t want to reveal it just yet—not unless he possessed the power to be invincible in the Ancient Martial Realm.

The two went to Cheng Yuan’s room, put their things away, and then walked into the Dragon Flame Inn’s banquet hall, one after the other.

Just as the Old Dragon King had said, everyone had been waiting for quite some time.

Seeing the two of them, everyone quickly stood up and greeted them in perfect unison.

"Greetings, Old Dragon King! Greetings, Young Master!"

The Old Dragon King simply gave everyone a slight nod before taking the head seat with an imposing air.

Cheng Yuan didn’t dare to be as casual as the Old Dragon King. He enthusiastically greeted the three Martial Saint experts, exchanged a few pleasantries with his men, and only sat down beside his master after the Old Dragon King urged him to.

Everyone began toasting them with wild enthusiasm.

The drinking was hearty and unrestrained.

Everyone drank heavily, and even the Old Dragon King was a bit tipsy.

Only Hu Yidao and Zhu Song hadn’t had much to drink.

It wasn’t that the two didn’t want to drink; Cheng Yuan had secretly sent them a message, telling them to find him after the banquet.

The moment the banquet ended, the two of them came to Cheng Yuan’s room.

"Xiaoyuan, what did you call us over for?"

Cheng Yuan said in a low voice, "Uncle Hu, Uncle Zhu, you must have noticed, right? Dongshan values civil matters over martial arts. Its strength is too weak!"

The two smiled wryly. "We are already Cultivating as hard as we can..."

Cheng Yuan said gently, "Actually, it’s not your fault. Your two families’ Cultivation Techniques are too poor, and your cultivation resources are just as bad. These are the Secret Manuals I’ve prepared for you. Keep them safe."

Strange expressions appeared on both of their faces.

Not long ago, Cheng Yuan was just a kid who needed the protection of their two families.

And how much time had passed since then?

Cheng Yuan had already grown to a height they could no longer hope to reach!

’Is he already repaying us so soon?’

All they could say was that making Cheng Yuan a successor of the Hu and Zhu Families was an investment that had paid off spectacularly!

Hu Yidao asked with a smile, "Are these what you brought from the Yang Family Treasury, Xiaoyuan?"

Cheng Yuan gave a mysterious smile. "Yes and no! These are the ’Hu Family Saber Technique’ and ’Zhu Family Swordsmanship,’ adapted from the ’Yang Family Spear Technique.’ From now on, they will be the highest legacy of the Hu and Zhu Families! They can be passed down to your core disciples!"

Adapted?

The two of them were instantly thrilled!

The Yang Family Spear Technique was a Saint Level Technique!

Only a being who had surpassed the Martial Saint realm would have the ability to adapt the Yang Family Spear Technique!

In other words, these two Secret Manuals must have been adapted by the Old Dragon King!

Zhu Song asked, his voice tinged with excitement, "Did the Old Dragon King adapt them?"

Cheng Yuan shook his head and answered truthfully, "My master didn’t adapt them. I did."

The fervor in their eyes immediately diminished.

’Xiaoyuan is really messing around,’ they thought. ’The Yang Family Spear Technique is a Saint Level Technique, and he’s just a mere Martial King. This has to be a joke, right?’

Cheng Yuan saw their change in attitude and said with a smile, "Uncle Hu, Uncle Zhu, don’t be so disappointed yet. Just give them a try. You might be in for a surprise."

A surprise?

The two exchanged wry smiles. ’Hopefully, we won’t suffer a cultivation deviation just by trying!’

If anyone else had made such a request, they would have given them a furious earful. But since it was Cheng Yuan, they could only reluctantly open the Technique Manuals.

Following the instructions in the Technique Manuals, they began Cultivating cautiously, afraid their True Qi might flow in reverse and cause irreversible damage to their Meridians.

But to their surprise, the Circulation Route was incredibly smooth, and they quickly completed a full Great Cycle!

What surprised them even more was that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the room began to pour into their bodies with wild abandon, as if it cost nothing!

They could actually feel the barrier to the Martial Emperor realm!

They opened their eyes, utterly shocked, and stared at Cheng Yuan in disbelief.

"Xiaoyuan, the technique you adapted is definitely not inferior to a Saint Level Technique! You’re incredible!"

"Xiaoyuan, how did you do it? You’re only a Martial King!"
