Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 852: Chapter 852: The Origin of the Long Family

Long Zhantian’s eyes remained tightly closed, his damaged soul was gradually recovering under the effect of the Soul Condensing Pills, and both Long Yun and the War God were staring at Long Zhantian.

Ye Luo, on the other hand, activated his Clairvoyant Eye to examine Long Zhantian’s Spirit Sea. Watching his soul slowly recover with the medicinal power of the Soul Condensing Pills, he couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly, ”The efficacy of these Soul Condensing Pills truly is indispensable for treating the soul!”

However, soon the medicinal energy within the Soul Condensing Pill was completely depleted, and Long Zhantian’s soul injury had only recovered by two-thirds. His strength had improved to the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm but had not fully recovered.

”Xiao Ling, what’s going on?”

Witnessing this, Ye Luo’s eyes flashed with astonishment. Whether it was his own past use of the Soul Condensing Pills or Die Wu’s, the pills directly restored their soul injuries to perfection.

He had not expected that after taking a Soul Condensing Pill, Long Zhantian’s soul injury had not fully recovered, which aroused his curiosity, prompting him to ask the Artifact Spirit Xiao Ling of the Lingyun Sword.

”Do you think a soul injured by a Soul Device could recover with just a mediocre elixir?”

Without waiting for Xiao Ling to answer, a domineering voice exploded within Ye Luo’s mind, causing his expression to change. He hurriedly looked inward at his own brain, only to see the Dragon Soul appear within his mind.

”Senior Ao Long, why have you come out?”

Ye Luo quickly communicated with the Dragon Soul using his thoughts, not daring to show any neglect. This was a seven-clawed Divine Dragon from the venerable Dragon Clan, one of the eight Dragon Kings. Even now that only a Dragon Soul remained, it was still tremendously formidable.

Especially since Huaxia has historically revered the Divine Dragon as a national totem, all the people of Huaxia have a deep-rooted reverence and awe for Divine Dragons. Therefore, Ye Luo was also extremely careful when facing the Dragon Soul of this seven-clawed Divine Dragon.

”I sensed some familiar auras, so I awoke,” said Ao Long indifferently.

”Familiar auras?”

Ye Luo looked puzzled.

”When I, the Dragon King, came to this world, I once accepted a pair of human brothers as my servants and later taught them some of the simplest cultivation techniques of the Dragon Clan.”

”The Long Family descends from those brothers, the servants I took on back then. The cultivation techniques they practice, albeit only some incomplete and defective ones of our Dragon Clan, still carry a trace of the Dragon Clan’s aura.”

Upon hearing Ao Long’s words, Ye Luo was startled. He had not realized that this was the origin of the Long Family. No wonder they had been guarding the Dragon Vein and Dragon Ball for thousands of years.

”However, Senior Divine Dragon, can’t Long Zhantian’s soul injury be fully recovered?” asked Ye Luo once again.

”He was injured by that girl’s second-grade Soul Device. He will need at least a Xuan Rank ninth-grade elixir specializing in soul repair for a complete recovery, or else his strength is unlikely to improve further,” Ao Long said in a deep voice.

Ye Luo glanced at Long Zhantian and was surprised to find that the soul injury inflicted by a Soul Device was so difficult to recover, requiring a Xuan Rank ninth-grade elixir. Without it, his strength would be confined to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm in the future.

This was indeed a tremendous setback for a martial artist.

At this time, Long Zhantian’s eyes had opened, and the aura of the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm spread out, his spirit significantly improved.

Seeing this, both the War God and Long Yun showed joy on their faces.

”Zhantian, how do you feel?”

Long Yun hurriedly spoke up.

”I feel that my soul has recovered by more than half from the injury it suffered before, but there is still a part that hasn’t recovered.”

Long Zhantian said indifferently.

”It hasn’t fully recovered?” Upon hearing that the Soul Condensing Pills did not fully heal Long Zhantian’s soul injury, Long Yun was taken aback and subsequently said,

”That’s fine. Since a large part has already recovered, the remaining soul injury should be able to be fully healed with the Long Family’s natural treasures and elixirs.”

”Mm.” Long Zhantian nodded his head, clearly, they all thought that the remaining soul could be fully recovered with other spiritual medicines.

However, at this moment, Ye Luo spoke up, ”Family Head Long, I must say something.”

”Young friend, thank you for your elixir. What would you like to say?”

Long Zhantian looked at Ye Luo, his eyes filled with curiosity, while Long Yun and the War God also turned their gazes to Ye Luo.

”Family Head Long, although your soul injury has already recovered by a large part, because your soul was harmed by a special weapon, in order to completely recover, you must take elixirs specially made for healing soul injuries again, and it must be a Xuan Rank Ninth Grade elixir. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for your strength to make any further progress.”

Ye Luo stated this fact, though it was somewhat cruel, it had to be said.

”What? A Xuan Rank Ninth Grade elixir!”

The three members of the Long family were all shocked to their core upon hearing this, their expressions changing dramatically.

It wasn’t that they couldn’t handle the news, but rather, the information was too shocking. It was well known that even the Xuan Rank elixirs in the possession of the Long family were not too plentiful, moreover, their grades weren’t very high.

Within the Hidden Sect, the major first-class powers, Xuan Rank elixirs were also a rare sight, and even if they existed, they were only of the first or second grade, at most, the sixth or seventh grade.

As for Xuan Rank elixirs above Seventh Grade, such pills might not be found in abundance even among the super first-class forces, let alone a Xuan Rank Ninth Grade elixir for treating soul injuries. Such a pill could perhaps only be found in an Elixir Sect that specialized in making elixirs, how could they not be shocked by this?

For a moment, Long Zhantian and Long Yun’s faces were extremely grim, especially Long Zhantian, his eyes flickering with a dim light, suddenly looking very defeated.

For a martial artist of his caliber, the prospect of no further improvement in his abilities was unbearable. With his strength and capabilities, along with the resources of the Long family, Long Zhantian was eighty percent certain he could enter the Controlling Qi Realm and become one of the pinnacle warriors in this world.

Now, suddenly learning that his strength had stalled at the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm and that he could no longer advance, one can imagine the magnitude of the blow to Long Zhantian. This was also because his mental resilience was strong; otherwise, he would be unable to bear such a setback.

”Young friend, are you speaking the truth?”

Long Yun’s expression was solemn, his gaze carrying a hint of doubt as he looked at Ye Luo, evidently unwilling to believe this fact.

If this were true, not only would the Long family have lost a Family Head and a high-level Spirit Sea Realm expert, but they would have also lost a future Controlling Qi Realm master.

This was not merely a blow to Long Zhantian himself; it was a major setback for the Long family. Thus, Long Yun was instinctively reluctant to believe it.

After all, this was just Ye Luo’s word, and as only a first-level Saint Realm martial artist, his statement lacked authoritative weight.
