Chapter 318 I've never seen anything like this before.

Old Man Shennong took a jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian took it, her gaze looking toward Shen Wen with inquiry.

Old Man Shennong glared at Shen Wen. "What are you looking at him for? Could the things this old man gives you possibly harm you?"

He paused and continued, "This is a poison pill. Don't eat it all at once; scrape off some shavings every day to consume. It's enough for you to reach the Dou Zun level."

"In less than half a month, it'll be enough for you to advance several stages."

Hearing this, a flash of pleasant surprise crossed Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, yet she still looked toward Shen Wen.

Shen Wen smiled. "This is a greeting gift from Revered Master; just accept it."

Old Man Shennong glared at him again. "You brat!"

He scolded verbally, but his hand produced another jade bottle, which he handed to Tang Huo'er nearby.

"This is yours. It's specially made; refine it slowly in conjunction with the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame."

Tang Huo'er was stunned for a moment before hurriedly taking it and bowing in thanks. "Thank you, Senior."

Old Man Shennong waved his hand and was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something and turned his head toward the residence gates.

A crimson-purple figure came rushing in.

Cao Ying.

She had clearly rushed back after receiving the news; fine sweat covered her brow, and her breathing was slightly hurried as she approached.

"Junior Cao Ying greets Senior."

Old Man Shennong's gaze landed on her, and his brow twitched slightly.

"Green Lotus Core Flame?"

His tone carried a hint of speechlessness as he turned to Shen Wen. "You brat, has your household rounded up all the Heavenly Flames?"

Shen Wen gave a dry laugh and didn't respond.

Old Man Shennong shook his head and took out another jade bottle from his sleeve, handing it to Cao Ying.

"This Medicinal Pill is beneficial to the Soul."

Cao Ying took it and bowed in thanks.

Old Man Shennong looked at her, then at Xiao Yi Xian and Tang Huo'er, before suddenly asking a question.

"Are there more?"

Shen Wen was slightly taken aback.

Old Man Shennong stared at him, waiting for his answer.

Shen Wen deliberated for a moment and said, "This Disciple still has one wife in secluded cultivation and one concubine who is not here..."

Old Man Shennong fell silent.

He looked at Shen Wen with a gaze full of complexity.

He had lived for over a thousand years and had seen plenty of such philandering characters.

But the problem was, while being philandering, his talent was excellent and his cultivation hadn't fallen behind—

This was a bit ridiculous.

He was just about to say something when a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the backyard.

Zi Yan walked out quickly, holding a small swaddled bundle.

Inside that bundle, Shen Yinian was opening those purple eyes, looking around curiously.

Old Man Shennong's gaze fell on that bundle, and his originally casual expression instantly changed.

"Dou Zong?"

His voice carried disbelief, and he was completely stunned.

The next moment, his gaze landed on Zi Yan.

That Face, that aura, that faintly radiating pressure—

Old Man Shennong's pupils shrank slightly.

"Dragon Phoenix?"

He turned to look at Shen Wen, his gaze filled with complex meaning.

"You brat..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself not knowing where to start.

How could this brat's household have a bunch of sprouts destined for Dou Sheng or even Dou Di?

Zi Yan walked to Shen Wen's side, stuffed Shen Yinian into his arms, and then looked at Old Man Shennong, blinking her eyes.

"Old Grandpa, who are you?"

Old Man Shennong looked at her, then at the infant in Shen Wen's arms, then at the surrounding Faces that were each beautiful in their own way, and suddenly let out a long breath.

He leaned on his cane and shook his head.

"This old man has lived for so many years; what kind of scene have I not seen?"

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of emotion.

"This scene, I truly haven't seen before."

Valley Master Tang Zhen stood to the side, watching this scene, momentarily unsure of what to say.

He had only come to urge Shen Wen to go heal Fire Cloud Old Ancestor; he hadn't expected to encounter such a lineup.

That legendary Grade 9 Profound Pill Grandmaster was currently standing before the Shen Residence's Flower Hall, looking at Shen Wen's family with a Face full of speechlessness.

Old Man Shennong was silent for a moment before suddenly looking at Shen Wen.

"That wife of yours in secluded cultivation, what is her Physique?"

Shen Wen thought for a bit and said, "A Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, currently preparing to evolve into a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python."

Old Man Shennong's eye corner twitched.

He asked again, "What about that absent concubine?"

Shen Wen said, "Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils; she's currently handling matters over at the Nine Serene Earth Nether Python side."

Old Man Shennong fell silent.

After a long time, he finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of exhaustion.

"Fine, say no more."

He waved his hand and turned to walk toward the Flower Hall.

"This old man needs to sit down and have a cup of tea to calm down."

After taking two steps, he suddenly looked back at Valley Master Tang Zhen.

"You came to urge this brat to go to Burning Flame Valley, right?"

Valley Master Tang Zhen hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes."

"This old man shall go with you all."

He said this casually, as if saying the weather was nice today.

Valley Master Tang Zhen, however, snapped his head up, his Face full of unbelievable joy.

"Senior... Senior is willing to come along?"

Old Man Shennong glanced at him, his tone indifferent. "What, not welcome?"

Valley Master Tang Zhen waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no, no, this Junior couldn't ask for more! With Senior there, Fire Cloud Old Ancestor's injury is as good as healed!"

As he spoke, his hands shook slightly with excitement.

A Grade 9 Profound Pill Grandmaster personally taking action—what kind of concept was that?

An existence that Burning Flame Valley couldn't invite no matter how many years they tried was now taking the initiative to go heal Fire Cloud Old Ancestor.

Valley Master Tang Zhen looked at Shen Wen, his gaze full of complex meaning.

This brat really has a lot of Face.

Shen Wen didn't notice his gaze, only looking down at Shen Yinian in his arms.

The little girl was opening her purple eyes, her small hands grabbing his lapel, babbling something unknown.

Shen Wen smiled and handed Shen Yinian to Xiao Yi Xian.

"We'll go immediately and be back soon."

Xiao Yi Xian took the child and nodded. "Be careful."

Old Man Shennong said no more, only waving his hand.

As his sleeves billowed, a vast surge of Space Power emerged, enveloping Shen Wen, Valley Master Tang Zhen, and Tang Huo'er within it.

In the next moment, the surrounding scenery shifted abruptly.

Shen Wen only felt his vision blur, and when he looked again, he was already standing before a familiar valley.

Burning Flame Valley.

Those layers of Restrictions and rows of Formations were like nothing before this power.

Valley Master Tang Zhen stood blankly in place, looking back at the way they came, then at the entrance of the valley before him, momentarily unable to speak.

This was the method of a Dou Sheng.

Although he was a six-star Dou Zun, before such an existence, he was still as tiny as an ant.

Tang Huo'er, on the other hand, appeared normal, only looking at Old Man Shennong with a hint of awe in her eyes.

Just as the four stepped into the valley, a hearty laugh came from deep within.

"Hahaha, has that brat Shen Wen arrived?"

The voice was aged yet full of vigor, carrying a few notes of familiar teasing.

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor's figure swept out from deep within the bamboo forest, his fiery red long hair particularly striking, a smile on his Face.

Then, his smile froze on his Face.

His gaze bypassed Shen Wen, bypassed Valley Master Tang Zhen, and landed on that final thin figure.

That cane hung with jade bottles, that seemingly ordinary Face, that faint yet vast aura—

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor's pupils shrank violently.

"Se... Senior!"

His voice even changed pitch as he hurriedly bowed in greeting, his attitude as respectful as could be.
