Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 287: Chapter 289: Time to Settle the Score

...

Black Abyss City, main street.

On a carriage, an elderly man and a young man were conversing. The old man had white hair and an immortal-like demeanor. The young man had a refined appearance, exuding an aura of natural beauty.

They were precisely Ye Qingchen and Qin Wentian.

With the death of Mo Luo Celestial Saint, the restrictions of the Abyssal Valley Secret Realm naturally lifted, and as the entire realm began to collapse, everyone had no choice but to return to Black Abyss City.

During the expedition to the Abyssal Valley Secret Realm, nearly every expert in Black Abyss City perished, leaving the city deserted. With the support of individuals like Cui Geng and Xu Huai, naturally, no one dared to harm Ye Qingchen.

Within just three days, Ye Qingchen had already woken up.

Upon awakening, not only had Ye Qingchen’s injuries healed, but his cultivation had also stabilized at the Profound Core Ninth Heaven, benefiting greatly from his ordeals.

Declining Cui Geng and others’ invitations to stay, the two set off on their journey back to the Cyan Continent after only half a day in Black Abyss City.

”Whew!”

On the carriage.

Ye Qingchen exhaled a long breath of turbid air, slowly opening his eyes, a sharp light flickering in them.

”Finally, my cultivation is stabilized!”

”Indeed!” Qin Wentian said with a smiling gaze, ”Your breath is restrained without a hint of overextension, it seems the effects of the Explosive Yang Pill have been completely eradicated, true to the prowess of the Saint-tier ’Great Creation Pill’!”

Initially, Qin Wentian was unsure about what kind of pill Yu Luoxuan had taken out. It was only later that he realized it was the Great Creation Pill, a pill that lives up to its name, offering regenerative effects.

This pill is a supreme Saint-tier product, crafted from various Saint-tier spiritual herbs. Even in Taotian Palace, records of it are scarce. He had only heard about it from others and never expected Yu Luoxuan to possess one.

”The Kunlun Realm, Snow Divine Palace!” Ye Qingchen’s eyes slightly lowered, ”I wonder what kind of place that truly is.”

After he awoke and learned that Ye Qing had followed Yu Luoxuan to the Snow Divine Palace to save him, Ye Qingchen’s first instinct was to bring Ye Qing back, but he was unexpectedly stopped by Qin Wentian.

Originally.

Ye Qingchen believed that the Kunlun Realm should be a mysterious place on the Barbaric Continent. It was only after listening to Qin Wentian’s explanation that he understood it was a much more powerful world.

To the Kunlun Realm, the Barbaric Continent is merely a lower realm.

Only those who have transcended the Celestial Saint can hope to break space and journey there.

With his current strength, Ye Qingchen naturally couldn’t achieve that yet.

”When you reach the Celestial Saint realm, you’ll understand!” Qin Wentian patted Ye Qingchen’s shoulder, offering some comfort. ”By the way, I haven’t asked, did you find any trace of your father in the Abyssal Valley?”

Qin Wentian knew.

Ye Qingchen’s initial intention to go to the Abyssal Valley was to search for his father, hence his inquiry.

”No!” Ye Qingchen shook his head with a sigh.

Originally.

He thought his father might have also been trapped in the Abyssal Valley Secret Realm. But after entering the valley, he learned that the secret realm hadn’t been opened for four hundred years.

How could his father have entered?

Now.

Not only has he lost any clue about his father, but even his sister has gone to the Kunlun Realm.

Instead of a family reunion, they are drifting further apart.

”Could it be that I was wrong from the start?”

Ye Qingchen furrowed his brows.

Perhaps he had entered some kind of misunderstanding, maybe the ’卐’ symbol wasn’t referring to the Abyssal Valley, or it might be related to Mo Luo Celestial Saint. It seemed he needed to investigate the origins of Mo Luo Celestial Saint next, hoping for a breakthrough.

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s expression, Qin Wentian was about to speak when suddenly his qi blood surged, and he coughed a few times urgently, his face turning deathly pale, his breath faltering like a candle in the wind.

”Elder Qin, how is your injury?” Ye Qingchen asked hurriedly.

”With an injury to the heart meridian, how can it recover so quickly? The pills in Black Abyss City could only help suppress the injury a bit!”

Qin Wentian shook his head, ”Mo Luo Celestial Saint, though a remnant soul, still possessed the power of a Celestial Saint. For me to face him with Half-Step Celestial Saint strength was indeed pushing it!”

Ye Qingchen sat there, his gaze lowered.

An injury involving the heart meridian must not be delayed. Healing Qin Wentian’s injury was, for the moment, of utmost priority.

With that in mind, Ye Qingchen decided not to return to the Cyan Continent for now and to first find a place to heal Qin Wentian’s injury.

He then turned to Qin Wentian and said, ”Elder Qin, let’s not return to the Cyan Continent for now, but stay in the Tongxuan Continent!”

”Stay in the Tongxuan Continent?” Qin Wentian was taken aback.

”Indeed!” Ye Qingchen nodded, ”The Cyan Continent is lacking in spiritual qi and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, even if we rush back to the Cyan Continent now, we might not be able to gather the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures needed for your treatment in a short time, which would only worsen your condition. Tongxuan Continent, however, is different...”

The Tongxuan Continent is abundant in spiritual qi, known as the continent of Spirit Medicine since ancient times, where one could find almost all the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures needed. If they could find enough spiritual herbs here, healing Qin Wentian’s injuries would naturally be easy.

Moreover.

Staying in the Tongxuan Continent, he had other plans in mind.

”Spirit Coffin Sect, Slaughter Hall! You didn’t expect me to come back alive, did you? Now, let’s settle all our grievances once and for all!”

Ye Qingchen’s eyes were sharp, a cold gleam flashing through them.

...

Ye Qingchen’s first stop was Yun Ding City.

Upon entering Yun Ding City, a rich scent of medicine wafted through the air from afar. Signboards of pharmacies hung everywhere, and people bustled about the streets. Ye Qingchen walked directly into one of the largest pharmacies, handing over the list of required spiritual herbs.

However, the shopkeeper, after glancing at the list, seemed hesitant to speak.

”What is it? Are the spiritual medicines incomplete?” Ye Qingchen frowned, ”If so, then just sell what you have...”

After all.

The list of spiritual herbs was not only extensive in quantity but also quite high in grade.

It’s not unusual for a single pharmacy to be unable to provide everything on the list.

”Sir, the spiritual medicines you’ve requested have all been sold out.” The shopkeeper offered an apologetic smile, ”Not only does my shop have none left, but I fear the others don’t either!”

”What’s going on?” Ye Qingchen asked.

It was known that Yun Ding City had a deep foundation, with spiritual medicines accumulated over countless years. Even if healing-related medicines were scarce, it was unlikely that every shop in the city would be sold out.

”It’s like this...” The shopkeeper, noticing Ye Qingchen’s extraordinary demeanor and not daring to offend him, quickly explained: ”To tell the truth, someone has swept through all available spiritual medicines for healing recently. Not only what’s on your list, but even the lesser ones are all gone!”

”Who has such boldness?”

Qin Wentian asked with surprise.

The shopkeeper gave Qin Wentian a deep look and said:

”Spirit Coffin Sect!”
