153: Chapter 153 Heading to Yanjing

After successfully upgrading the three Top Grade Immortal Artifacts to Low Grade Divine Artifacts, Xiao Yuchen took the xuanyuan sword out from his System Inventory. This xuanyuan sword was the very first reward he had received.

When he first obtained the xuanyuan sword, it was only a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact. After absorbing the Spiritual Qi from within the mountain and having helped it upgrade once before, the xuanyuan sword had now reached the level of a High Grade Spiritual Artifact.

However, it was not easy to upgrade it to a Divine Artifact. Still, the xuanyuan sword used to be a Top Grade Divine Artifact; it had only become a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact because its sword Soul was lost. As long as he found the sword Soul of the xuanyuan sword, he would be able to upgrade the xuanyuan sword back to a Top Grade Divine Artifact.

"Old friend, don't worry. Since I have promised to help you retrieve your sword Soul, I will definitely not break my word. Just give me some more time."

Although the xuanyuan sword was only a High Grade Spiritual Artifact, it had previously reached the level of a Divine Artifact. Even with the sword Soul missing, its own spiritual intelligence remained very high.

Seeming to understand Xiao Yuchen's words, the xuanyuan sword vibrated slightly before returning to stillness.

Putting the xuanyuan sword back into his System Inventory, Xiao Yuchen glanced at the volcano behind him, then soared directly into the air and flew toward Great Xia.

Because the distance between Japan and Great Xia was not far, it only took Xiao Yuchen a little over half an hour to arrive within the territory of Great Xia.

Just as Xiao Yuchen was considering where to go next, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Nangong Wentian.

"Hello, Senior Nangong, is there any news about the Spirit Medicine?" Xiao Yuchen asked, feeling somewhat excited. He hoped Nangong Wentian could give him a pleasant surprise.

"Yes, I have plenty of the verbena needed to repair the Soul. As for the other four types of Spirit Medicine, I have only found one millennium ginseng. If you need it, come and collect it from me. I will wait for you in Yanjing."

Hearing Nangong Wentian's words, Xiao Yuchen's eyes lit up. He had obtained the millennial ganoderma from the System, and now Nangong Wentian had found the millennium ginseng. The main ingredients for refining the muscle-regenerating and bone-melting pill were now only missing the tianshan snow lotus and the bone-mending and tendon-melting flower.

However, the tianshan snow lotus was best when it had just bloomed, so he should be able to find it when he had a chance to visit Tianshan. As for the bone-mending and tendon-melting flower, it would be a bit more difficult, but since there was no age requirement, it should still be possible to find.

Currently, the most urgent matter was to first help Senior Azure Dragon repair his Soul, so it was necessary for Xiao Yuchen to make a trip to Yanjing.

Originally, Nangong Wentian had wanted to personally deliver the Spirit Medicine to Xiao Yuchen, but once Nangong Xue found out that her grandfather had actually found her savior, she begged him to invite Xiao Yuchen to their home.

Nangong Wentian loved his granddaughter the most. Seeing that she was thinking about Xiao Yuchen day and night, he agreed. Furthermore, in his heart, he also hoped that his granddaughter could get closer to Xiao Yuchen; it would be even better if the two of them could be together.

With this thought in mind, Nangong Wentian took the initiative to invite Xiao Yuchen to be a guest at his home. However, Xiao Yuchen naturally knew nothing of this and increased his speed to the maximum, heading in the direction of Yanjing.

At Xiao Yuchen's current speed, ordinary people could not possibly catch sight of him. Moreover, he deliberately flew very high, appearing only as a black dot from the ground, so Xiao Yuchen was not worried about being discovered.

After flying for another half hour, Xiao Yuchen arrived in Yanjing. Finding a deserted area, he landed back on the ground and followed the address Nangong Wentian had sent him to find the location of the Nangong Family.

When Xiao Yuchen reached the entrance of the Nangong Family, he called Nangong Wentian. Upon learning that Xiao Yuchen was already at the door, Nangong Wentian was noticeably stunned; he had not expected Xiao Yuchen to be so fast.

Hanging up the phone, Nangong Wentian hurriedly called his son Nangong Xiong, his daughter-in-law Zeng Wenrou, his granddaughter Nangong Xue, and his grandson Nangong Yu to go to the entrance to welcome Xiao Yuchen.

Nangong Wentian was the guardian of Great Xia and had no interest in managing Family affairs, so he had long since passed the position of Family head to his eldest son, Nangong Xiong. However, when Nangong Wentian was at home, Family matters still required him to preside over them.

Besides Nangong Xiong, Nangong Wentian had another son and a daughter. His son, Nangong Yan, served in the military and was not at home at the moment. His daughter, Nangong Aoshuang, had married into the Zhuge Family, which was also one of the Four Great Families of Yanjing, and was currently on her way back, having naturally been called back by Nangong Wentian.

Seeing Xiao Yuchen standing at the entrance, Nangong Wentian hurriedly went up to greet him. Although he was the guardian of Great Xia, Xiao Yuchen's strength was far superior to his, and given the contributions Xiao Yuchen had made to Great Xia, he deserved such treatment.

"Brother Xiao, why didn't you tell me before you came? I could have gone to welcome you." Nangong Wentian greeted him politely.

"I came over like that, how could you welcome me?" Xiao Yuchen smiled and pointed his finger at the sky.

Nangong Wentian's old face flushed red. Although he was a Martial Venerable, he could not fly, so he really had no way to welcome him.

"Hehe, you have great Divine Ability, little friend. We Mortals are naturally no match for you. I am ashamed, truly ashamed."

Hearing his father speak like this, Nangong Xiong was extremely shocked. In his eyes, his father was a god-like existence, and he did not understand why his father was belittling himself so much in front of Xiao Yuchen.

In reality, Nangong Wentian had only told everyone that he had found the savior of Nangong Xue, but he had not revealed Xiao Yuchen's identity as a Cultivator. It was even more impossible for Nangong Xiong to imagine that Xiao Yuchen's current strength had long since surpassed his father's; he had always assumed that Xiao Yuchen only had the cultivation level of a Martial Soul.

"Senior Nangong, you are too modest. I just got lucky, that's all."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Yuchen looked at Nangong Xue, who was standing behind Nangong Wentian, and greeted her with a smile: "Miss Nangong, we meet again. How have you been lately?"

Seeing Xiao Yuchen again, Nangong Xue's heart was filled with complex emotions: excitement, anticipation, and even more so, longing.

Ever since she was saved by Xiao Yuchen, she had developed feelings of admiration for him. Xiao Yuchen would often appear in her dreams, and the two of them had even done some unspeakable things.

She knew that she had fallen in love with Xiao Yuchen, which was why she had begged her grandfather to help her find Xiao Yuchen's whereabouts.

Upon learning that her grandfather had found her savior, Nangong Xue was truly excited, which was why she had requested her grandfather to invite Xiao Yuchen to be a guest at their home.

"Yes, I am doing well. Benefactor, it is truly wonderful to see you again. Being able to meet is fate, and since you and Grandfather are friends, you should at least give me your contact information, right?"

Seeing Nangong Xue looking at him like this, Xiao Yuchen's heart skipped a beat. He was somewhat familiar with this look; he had seen this kind of gaze from Li Yiran and Jiang Linglong before.

"My damned charm. It's all because I'm too handsome, causing another young girl to fall for me," Xiao Yuchen thought to himself.

"Yes, of course you can. But don't call me Benefactor; just call me Yuchen."

Although he understood Nangong Xue's feelings for him, Xiao Yuchen could not refuse her request and gave his phone number to Nangong Xue.

"Senior Nangong, these are your Family members, right? Won't you introduce them to me?"

Reminded by Xiao Yuchen, Nangong Wentian finally remembered and hurriedly introduced the other three people to Xiao Yuchen.

"Sigh, this grandson of mine is about the same age as you. I used to think he was quite outstanding, but now I truly look down on him."
