162: Chapter 162 Da Shan Returns Home

Or existences at the level of the Four Divine Beasts.

Since the Azure Dragon and Xuanwu had already appeared, could it be that the Four Vicious Beasts—Chaos, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Taotie—were also still alive?

Of course, Xiao Yuchen knew that the probability of Dashan being abducted was not high. When he had left, Dashan was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but he had given Dashan three bottles of spiritual liquid collected from Yunlong Mountain and a top-grade Foundation Breaking Pill, which was enough for Dashan to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

After reaching the Golden Core Stage, Dashan would undergo the Lightning Tribulation, and Xiao Yuchen was most worried that Dashan would perish under the Lightning Tribulation.

But thinking that Dashan was the Divine Beast Xuanwu, with inherently formidable defense, plus the Mountain Shaking Body Refining Technique which was a top-tier defensive Cultivation Technique gifted by the System, it was impossible for Dashan to be unable to withstand even the lowest-level pill lightning.

"Alright, stop crying for now. I will go check Dashan's room; perhaps there might be some clues."

After comforting the two, Xiao Yuchen went to Dashan's room on the second floor. Although Li Yiran and the other woman had already searched Dashan's room, they still followed Xiao Yuchen to Dashan's room.

The room was very clean, and Xiao Yuchen looked around without discovering anything special. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a simple, ancient-looking small wooden box placed at the head of Dashan's bed.

Xiao Yuchen was naturally very familiar with this small wooden box; this was the box the System had given him to hold the novice gift package when he had just activated the System. It was just that later, everything was placed in the System Space, so this box became useless.

"Why is this box here?" Xiao Yuchen asked curiously.

"Not long after you left, Dashan said he liked this box, so he asked me for it. When sleeping at night, he always puts this box at the head of his bed, saying that it feels as if you are always by his side accompanying him," Li Yiran replied.

"Oh, this child actually treats the box as me. Did he not put anything inside it?"

"No. I also thought he wanted to put some favorite toys inside, but before Yuxin and I went out shopping yesterday morning, I helped Dashan tidy up his room. At that time, I secretly opened it to look, and there was nothing inside."

"Oh, this time when I went out, I picked up many colorful stones by the beach. Let me fill the box for him; when Dashan comes back and sees it, he will definitely be very happy."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuchen came to the head of the bed, but when he picked up the small wooden box, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Huh? There is something inside."

Xiao Yuchen hurriedly opened the box, and the first thing that caught his eyes were more than ten small jade bottles.

Xiao Yuchen's attention was not on the jade bottles, because there was a piece of paper stuck to the top of the small wooden box with writing on it.

Xiao Yuchen took down the paper and opened it to look; it was actually written in the language of the Cultivation World, and the handwriting was very elegant, not at all like a child's writing.

"Brother Yuchen, do not worry about me; I have just gone home.

After reaching the Golden Core Stage and experiencing the pill lightning, I recovered my memories. It turns out I have a special identity, which I will tell you about later. I am now nearly a hundred years old, but I still like to call you Brother Yuchen.

Being able to meet Brother Yuchen, Sister Yiran, and Sister Yuxin is Dashan's good fortune. I really like being with you all, but I haven't been home for a long time, and I want to go home and take a look.

Inside the box are gifts I left for Brother Yuchen. I hope these things can help Brother Yuchen. If there is a chance in the future, I will come back again.

I know Brother Yuchen has been looking for the entrance to the Cultivation World, but I cannot tell Brother now; I do not want Brother to encounter danger.

I forgot to tell Brother: I have completely absorbed the power sealed within my body. I am now at the Late Void Refinement Stage. Brother Yuchen must also work hard; I believe in you!"

After reading Dashan's letter, Xiao Yuchen was silent for a long time. Although Dashan didn't say anything, he could tell that Dashan was hiding many things, and it wasn't as simple as just going home for a visit.

Seeing Xiao Yuchen holding the letter without speaking for a long time, Li Yiran also became anxious and took the letter from Xiao Yuchen's hand, only to find that she did not recognize the characters on it.

"What kind of characters are these? Why don't I recognize them?" Li Yiran was confused.

"These are characters from the Cultivation World. Dashan wrote it. He said he recovered his memory, just missed home, and went home, so let us not worry," Xiao Yuchen explained simply.

"Is it really just like that? He is still just a child; will he be in danger?" Li Yiran was still worried.

"A child? Dashan is already nearly a hundred years old; it is just that his body is small. No need to worry about him; he said that after he finishes the matters at home, he will come back to see us."

"Dashan is a hundred years old? How is this possible? Is he unable to grow up?" Both women were shocked simultaneously.

"Dashan's Physique is somewhat special, and previously he was sealed by some kind of power, which is why he appeared relatively small. I guess he has grown up now; one can tell from this handwriting.

Alright, let's put Dashan's matter aside for now. He didn't say where his home is, and I can't find him, so we can only wait for him to come back himself."

After putting away the letter, Xiao Yuchen checked the jade bottles one by one.

There were eleven jade bottles in total. Seven of them contained dashan pill, nine per bottle, for a total of sixty-three. Three bottles contained tears of light, nine drops per bottle, for a total of twenty-seven drops.

One bottle contained three drops of blood essence; it went without saying that it was Dashan's blood.

Seeing these things, Xiao Yuchen finally understood. Dashan, having recovered his memory, must have known the use of these items, so he specially left many for him.

It was just that he did not expect Dashan to leave him three drops of life blood essence. This was the blood of Xuanwu, containing Chaos Qi. Although it was only three drops, it would still affect Dashan, and it would likely take a long time of Cultivation to recover.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuchen was moved. Although Dashan had recovered his memory and returned to the Divine Beast clan, he was still willing to treat him as a friend. Based on this alone, Xiao Yuchen felt that his efforts had not been in vain.

"How is it? I have been away for more than a month; have you missed me?" Xiao Yuchen suddenly changed his tone and asked with a smile.

"Narcissist. You didn't miss me, so why should I miss you? You don't even know how happy Yuxin and I have been these days while you were away," Li Yiran said insincerely.

"Who said I didn't miss you? I couldn't come back because I had things to do," Xiao Yuchen made an excuse.

"You men only know how to lie. Yuxin and I kept telling you to come back early for the festival, but you never gave us a clear reply. But the moment I told you Dashan was missing, you came back immediately. Is it that in your eyes, I am not as important as Dashan?"

"Uh... this... you two weren't in trouble, were you?" Xiao Yuchen did not know how to answer.

"Yuxin, listen to that. What kind of words is he saying?" Li Yiran pouted.

"Brother, you are too much. Sister-in-law indeed was not in trouble, but do you think it is enough as long as Sister-in-law is not in trouble? Don't you care about whether Sister-in-law's mood is good? Whether she is eating well? Whether she is sleeping well?"
