50: The Holy Mark of the Medicine King!

Above the ruins of Medicine King Valley, the silence was like a freezing abyss.

The collapsed Medicine Mountain was like the carcass of a giant beast; on the scorched earth, the remains of the medicine king cauldron were deeply embedded in the bottom of the rift.

In the hideous crack running through the runes on the Cauldron's body, emerald light flowed like a dying Bloodline, dissipating in wisps and emitting a faint, wailing hum.

Before the Cauldron, Jiang Baichuan's withered body was buried deep in the rubble, dark golden blood soaking his tattered pill robe, every weak breath accompanied by the sound of a broken bellows.

His turbid eyes stared fixedly at the Void Realm, where... Jiang Linfeng's figure, holding Consort Xue, was transforming into a ray of Chaos light, tearing through the Void Realm and disappearing without a trace.

"Medicine King... Sacred Rune... Cauldron body..." Jiang Baichuan's throat rolled out a gravel-like hiss, every word carrying agonizing pain that carved into his heart and bones, along with monstrous humiliation!

He had cultivated for ten thousand years, mastering the chaos medicine cauldron, seeking nothing more than a glimpse of the true meaning of the Chaos Medicine Dao!

But now... the Origin of the medicine king cauldron, which he regarded as his life... had actually been forcibly stripped away! And branded onto the body of a vile maid?! And in the form of... the Medicine King Sacred Rune?!

"Pfft—!" Another mouthful of dark golden essence blood sprayed out wildly, mixed with fragments of his internal organs!

His withered claws dug fiercely into the scorched earth, his fingernails cracking, yet he was completely unaware! Only deep within those turbid eyes, a point of blood-red, resentful fire burned crazily!

"Jiang... Lin... feng..." His voice was hoarse, like the curse of a ghost from the Nine Netherworlds, "The hatred of stealing the Cauldron... the humiliation of the brand... I... swear by the Chaos Medicine Dao..."

Hum—!!!

His broken body trembled violently! A dim, Cauldron-shaped mark between his brows suddenly lit up! Then... it exploded with a bang!

It transformed into a dark golden blood rune, viscous as blood and exuding an aura of endless resentment and destruction! The blood rune twisted, drilling into his heart like a living creature!

"Urgh ah—!!!" Jiang Baichuan let out a shrill, inhuman scream! His entire body seemed to have been drained of all vitality, instantly shriveling up!

His skin cracked, revealing ghastly white bones! But an even more sinister, more violent, and terrifying aura, like a final flash of life, erupted from his broken body!

"Chaos Blood Oath! Burn my broken body! Incinerate my medicine Soul!" His withered claws dug into his heart, forcibly ripping out a strand of dark golden Origin intertwined with blood runes!

Within the Origin, countless resentful pill poison runes floated and wailed! "Wait until I... reunite the true body of the medicine king cauldron... I will definitely... eat your flesh raw! Refine your wife and child's Divine Soul! And your vile maid... will be eternally suppressed in the medicine king cauldron! To suffer the agony of the pill fire incinerating the Soul for ten thousand generations—!!!"

The dark golden blood rune wrapped around that strand of Origin like a venomous snake with life, instantly drilling into the huge crack in the medicine king cauldron! The Cauldron body shook violently!

At the edges of the crack, dark golden blood light spread like a spiderweb! An even colder, more tyrannical Chaos Medicine Dao aura... began to quietly breed!

Time flew by.

The Chaos Star Domain, like a miniature Chaos star, shuttled through the shattered Void Realm.

At the center of the Domain, Jiang Linfeng sat cross-legged, holding Su Ningxue tightly in his arms.

The young girl curled up in his arms, her breathing weak but steady; the emerald Medicine King Sacred Rune between her brows was like a newborn sprout, emitting a gentle yet vast life aura, faintly resonating with Jiang Linfeng's Chaos Star Power.

[Ding! Fusion of the chaos medicine cauldron Origin complete!]

[Companion Su Ningxue (Consort Xue) status: Stabilizing and recovering!]

[Medicine King Sacred Rune activated! Life Origin strength +200%! Chaos Medicine Dao affinity +100%!]

[Feedback received: Chaos Medicine Dao enlightenment +50%! Life Origin mastery has broken through to the "Creation" level!]

A torrent of profound enlightenment poured into his Sea of Consciousness; Jiang Linfeng's mastery of the Life Origin reached a brand new Realm.

He could even clearly "see" every inch of Consort Xue's damaged Meridians rapidly healing and strengthening under the radiance of the Sacred Rune; that nascent Ice Soul Star Body, nourished by the Sacred Rune, was greedily absorbing Chaos Star Power, becoming more solid and brilliant!

"Sect... Sect Master..." Su Ningxue's long eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.

Her deer-like eyes held a trace of confusion from surviving a disaster, which was then submerged by immense warmth and a sense of safety.

She felt the surging, unprecedentedly powerful force within her body, and even more so, the wonderful, Bloodline-connected connection between the Sacred Rune between her brows and the Sect Master!

"How do you feel?" Jiang Linfeng lowered his head, his voice deep and gentle.

"Warm... so warm..." Su Ningxue's cheeks flushed, her voice as faint as a mosquito's, carrying a hint of post-awakening languor and shyness.

Subconsciously, she moved her body, her cold little hands gripping Jiang Linfeng's lapels, burying her small face deeper into his warm chest. "It's like... like soaking in a medicine spring... Sect Master's aura... is so comfortable..."

[Ding! Su Ningxue (Consort Xue) intimacy +20! (Currently 198%!)]

[Medicine King Sacred Rune resonance! Chaos Star Power absorption efficiency +100%!]

[Rewards received: Chaos Medicine Dao enlightenment fragments x10! Life Origin essence x3!]

Jiang Linfeng's lips curled slightly, his large palm gently stroking her smooth black hair and landing on her fair back.

The warm Chaos Star Power in his palm, mixed with pure Life Origin, passed through her thin clothes and silently flowed into her body, guiding the power of the Medicine King Sacred Rune to further nourish and strengthen her newborn star body.

"Mm..." Su Ningxue let out a satisfied whimper, her body trembling slightly as if wrapped in a warm current.

She could clearly feel the temperature of the Sect Master's palm, feel that vast and gentle power flowing and intermingling within her body... an indescribable tingling and... craving... quietly arose.

She couldn't help but tilt her head back slightly, her deer-like eyes brimming with water, filled with an inseparable attachment and... a hint of... secret invitation.

"Sect Master... Consort Xue... wants... wants..." Her voice was hoarse with passion, as faint as a mosquito's, yet it plucked at his heartstrings like a feather.

Jiang Linfeng's eyes darkened slightly. This girl... with the Medicine King Sacred Rune newly formed, it was the perfect time to stabilize her Origin... Dual Cultivation... was undoubtedly the best method.

He leaned down, his scorching breath spraying over her sensitive earlobe.

"Ningxue..." His voice was deep, carrying an unquestionable possessiveness, "Circulate the Sacred Rune... guide the medicine power... into the star body!"

"Yes... Sect Master..." Su Ningxue's deer-like eyes were blurred, and she obediently closed them.

The emerald light of the Medicine King Sacred Rune between her brows flared brightly! A pure, vast Chaos medicine power, containing endless vitality of plants and trees, flowed out from the Sacred Rune like a docile stream!

She carefully guided this power, mixing it with her own Ice Soul Star Body, and actively entwined it with Jiang Linfeng's Chaos Star Power...

Hum—!!!

The moment the two forces merged! A sudden mutation occurred!

The Medicine King Sacred Rune's emerald light burst forth! Countless fine, emerald-green Medicine Dao runes spread from between Su Ningxue's brows like vines!

They instantly climbed over her snow-white neck, exquisite collarbone, and rounded shoulders... finally... at the position of her heart... condensing into a Jade Peach Blossom Mark that was about to bloom!

The moment the mark took shape!

Boom—!!!

An even purer, more vast Chaos medicine power, seemingly containing the first ray of life creation since the opening of the world! Like a bursting star river! It exploded from the peach blossom mark!

Following the channel where their auras merged... it crazily poured into Jiang Linfeng's body!

[Ding! Medicine King Sacred Rune (Heart Seal) activated!]

[Chaos Life Origin resonance!]

[Host Life Origin strength +100%! Chaos Medicine Dao enlightenment +100%! Nascent Star Domain Fusion degree +20%!]

[Su Ningxue (Consort Xue) Medicine King Ice Soul Star Body (Minor Achievement) stabilized! Potential upgraded to "Divine-Grade"!]

[Special reward received: Chaos Life Seed x1 (Can be fused into the Source Spirit Body, significantly increasing Life Origin strength and recovery ability)!]

The immense power boost and the ultimate pleasure of the Soul merging swept over the two like a tsunami!

Su Ningxue could no longer suppress it and let out a high-pitched, melodious cry, her body trembling violently like a peach blossom blooming in the wind and rain!

Jiang Linfeng also let out a muffled groan; the Chaos Life Seed in his Sea of Consciousness instantly fused into his Source Spirit Body! An unprecedented, vast vitality like a star sea instantly filled his limbs and bones!

The slight damage caused by burning his Origin earlier... instantly healed! Even... his Origin strength was stronger than before!

"Sect... Sect Master..." Su Ningxue lay limp in Jiang Linfeng's arms, her deer-like eyes blurred as if drunk, the Jade Peach Blossom Mark on her heart emitting a warm halo, rising and falling slightly with her rapid breathing, both eerie and holy. "Consort Xue... is so... so happy..."

Jiang Linfeng held the warm and fragrant jade in his arms, feeling that vigorous vitality and astonishing potential, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

Medicine King Sacred Rune... Heart Seal... This girl... her future achievements... will be limitless!
