150: Alchemy and Chen Chuanwu's Path to Immortality!
The reason Chen Changsheng was able to trigger the text on the Stone Wall was entirely because he had excavated the moonlight stone; it had nothing to do with any resonance between his Bloodline and the Tyrant Blood.
"This matter is of great importance. I must inform the Stone Clan as soon as possible!"
Chen Changsheng put the golden bottle away and then quickly walked out of the grotto.
"Haha, Head of the Chen Family, did you get what you wished for?"
Sister Yu was still waiting outside the grotto. Seeing Chen Changsheng emerge, she walked over with a loud laugh.
"Thank you, Clan Chief Yu. I have obtained the earth-vein stone milk. However, something sudden has occurred that I feel I must inform the Clan Chief about!"
Chen Changsheng spoke with a serious expression. Seeing his face, Sister Yu felt that things might not be so simple and couldn't help but ask:
"What matter could the Head of the Chen Family take so seriously?"
Chen Changsheng took a deep breath, then pulled out the small golden bottle from his robes, handed it to Sister Yu, and said:
"Because I took the moonlight stone milk, I disturbed the earth-vein Qi within the Holy Land, which accidentally triggered a Restriction. This caused this bottle of Stone Clan Tyrant Blood and the Archaic Tyrant Body Cultivation Method to appear within the Forbidden Ground!"
As Chen Changsheng's voice fell, he saw a look of shock on Sister Yu's face. Clearly, she understood what these items represented. She very solemnly held the golden bottle in her hand and then said to Chen Changsheng:
"Head of the Chen Family, please wait a moment. This matter is of grave importance; I must quickly notify our clan's Grand Elder!"
After Sister Yu finished speaking, she left quickly, leaving Chen Changsheng alone to wait in front of the grotto.
A short while later, Chen Changsheng saw the figures of Shi Wuxiu and Sister Yu rushing toward him. Shi Wuxiu had lost his calm expression; he looked at Chen Changsheng with a serious face and asked in a heavy tone:
"Head of the Chen Family, is what you said true? You discovered Stone Clan Tyrant Blood and the Archaic Tyrant Body Cultivation Method inside the Holy Land?"
Chen Changsheng nodded, cupped his hands to Shi Wuxiu, and said, "It is absolutely genuine!"
Shi Wuxiu looked up toward the depths of the grotto and then slowly said to Sister Yu:
"This matter concerns the future of our Stone Clan. We can no longer adhere to the rule of not entering the Holy Land except on sacrificial days. Let us go in and see!"
Then Shi Wuxiu looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Head of the Chen Family, please lead the way!"
Chen Changsheng nodded, stepped into the grotto, and said to the two of them, "Please follow me!"
The three of them traveled along and soon arrived at the Stone Wall where the words were engraved.
Shi Wuxiu stood before the Stone Wall, falling into silence as he carefully examined the handwriting. Then, he suddenly knelt beneath the wall.
"Ancestors above, the descendants of the Stone Clan have failed to live up to your expectations. No one has been able to inherit the ancestral Tyrant Blood, allowing the Archaic Tyrant Body to be covered in dust and failing to restore the ancestors' glory. Your descendants are ashamed..."
Shi Wuxiu's eyes were filled with hot tears, and Sister Yu also knelt on the ground. After a long time, Shi Wuxiu stood up and stared intently at Chen Changsheng.
Looking at his gaze, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, wondering if Shi Wuxiu would eliminate him here to keep the secret.
To his surprise, after pacing around Chen Changsheng for a long time, Shi Wuxiu suddenly spoke:
"Since the Head of the Chen Family was able to draw out the Stone Wall, I believe you must have extraordinary qualities. Why don't you try to fuse with this drop of Tyrant Blood?"
Chen Changsheng was startled. What was Shi Wuxiu doing? His ancestors had left him such a great Opportunity, yet he was handing it over to someone else.
"No, no, this is an Opportunity left to your Stone Clan by your ancestors. How would I dare to interfere!"
Chen Changsheng hurriedly refused, but Shi Wuxiu patted his shoulder and sighed, saying:
"Once the Tyrant Blood emerges from the Restriction, it can only be preserved for one year. After a year, it will dissipate. To ensure my ancestors' painstaking efforts are not wasted, I must find a successor for the Tyrant Blood after all."
Chen Changsheng understood Shi Wuxiu's helplessness, but he would absolutely not inherit the Tyrant Blood. According to the records on the Stone Wall, fusing with the Tyrant Blood was a life-or-death gamble. This single drop was the essence blood of a Nascent Soul Stage Body Cultivator; the energy it contained was too powerful. If one's bones and muscles were not strong enough, they would only end up exploding!
"Elder Shi, to tell you the truth, I have never practiced Body Refining at all. Moreover, I have a family to look after. The risk of fusing with the Tyrant Blood is too high; I truly do not dare!"
Hearing Chen Changsheng speak the truth, Shi Wuxiu could only sigh. Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, he said to Chen Changsheng:
"I remember your eldest son is a Body Cultivator. This drop of Tyrant Blood is a supreme treasure that Body Cultivators dream of. Although the risk is high, once Fusion is successful, it can forge a supreme Foundation for a Body Cultivator. Head of the Chen Family, you can let your eldest son give it a try!"
Chen Changsheng's brow couldn't help but furrow upon hearing this. In truth, he didn't want Chen Chuanwu to take such a risk, but he couldn't hide it from him either. After all, this was an Opportunity concerning Chuanwu's immortal path.
"Thank you, Elder Shi. I will inform Chuanwu after I return home. As for whether he comes or not, that will be his own decision!"
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands to Shi Wuxiu. Shi Wuxiu laughed, patted Chen Changsheng's shoulder, and said with a smile:
"In that case, we won't keep you any longer. Hurry home and ask your eldest son what he thinks!"
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands and left the grotto, then found Old Kuai to lead him out of Ailao Mountain.
As for whether to tell Chuanwu about this, Chen Changsheng also fell into a state of conflict. After all, the risk involved was immense—it could truly be described as a narrow escape from death.
Chen Changsheng agonized over this question the whole way, even forgetting the dangers of Ailao Mountain. If Old Kuai hadn't been leading him and pulling him back to the safe route multiple times, he probably wouldn't have made it out of the mountain.
"I won't think about this for now! I'll refine the Medicinal Pills for Chuanjie first!"
After returning to Jade Dragon Peak, Chen Changsheng suppressed the matter of the Tyrant Blood in his heart and went straight into the Pill Refining Room.
The material requirements for the moonlight vein-mending pill were not high. Aside from the moonlight stone milk, the Chen family had already prepared all the other medicinal ingredients!
Thus, Chen Changsheng carefully reviewed the Pill Formula and began his work. Since he had already broken through to the Qi Refinement Stage, his mastery over the ingredients and the heat was even more proficient.
Soon, Chen Changsheng had melted all the medicinal ingredients into liquid. He then placed all the Materials into the Pill Furnace, using his magic power to search for the spiritual Opportunity to open the furnace.
Finally, after a full day, Chen Changsheng opened his eyes and gave a low shout: "Condense into a pill for me!"
Along with the shout, Chen Changsheng took out a jade vial and dripped a drop of moonlight stone milk into it!
A flash of silver light passed, and Chen Changsheng opened the furnace. Inside was a pitted, silver Medicinal Pill.
"It failed. It seems my pill-condensing technique is still not sophisticated enough!"
Chen Changsheng sighed softly, then removed the discarded Materials, washed the Pill Furnace clean with water, and sat back down on the prayer mat. He encouraged himself, saying,
"I must succeed in refining it; I absolutely cannot let Chuanjie down."
