Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 42 Netherworld Holy Water

However, Qinchuan quickly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and turned his gaze to the colossal dragon carcass, sensing a strand of residual special aura from that wound.

"It is indeed the unique aura of the Netherworld Hall's members, could it really be someone from the Netherworld Hall..."

Feeling the special residual aura, Qinchuan's eyes narrowed sharply, not anticipating that the mysterious group would actually be people from the Netherworld Hall.

"I didn't expect the legacy of the Netherworld Hall to have survived until now, and they even dare to offend me, such audacity!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Qinchuan's eyes as he stood in front of the dragon corpse for a long while before turning to leave the place.

He turned and looked at the powerful beings of the demon and monster races beside him, saying, "Is there still Netherworld Holy Water remaining in the Saint Abyss?"

"There is some left, we will go and fetch it for Emperor immediately."

The demons and monsters quickly bowed and said.

Qinchuan nodded, "Go ahead."

Soon, the demonic and monstrous mighty beings flew back, each holding a small jade bottle only the size of a palm.

"Master, the Saint Abyss has been damaged, and now only these holy waters remain."

The demonic and monstrous beings offered up the holy water.

Qinchuan took it, opened the small jade bottle to take a glance and said, "Prepare a secret room for me, I need to enter seclusion."

Netherworld Holy Water has various wondrous effects.

Aside from purifying sinister and malicious energies, it also has the power to refine the root bone, temper the physical body, cleanse True Qi and the soul.

"You have carried me these days, consider this drop of Netherworld Holy Water as a chance offering from me."

Before entering seclusion, Qinchuan enveloped a drop of Netherworld Holy Water with True Qi and injected it into the Crimson Flame Bird, "If you wish to leave, you may do so."

Thereafter, Qinchuan entered a secret room and began cultivating in seclusion with the aid of the Netherworld Holy Water.

...

In Great Wilderness City, the Zhao Family.

"Have there been no messages from the Fourth Elder and the others who went to the Great Wilderness in search of Dragon Bone Grass?"

Zhao Tianheng paced back and forth, feeling somewhat anxious.

"Master, although Dragon Bone Grass is not a high-rank spiritual medicine, it is extremely rare; perhaps Fourth Elder and the others have just not found the Dragon Bone Grass yet, which is why there's been no news."

An elder chimed in.

"This was my lack of foresight, the Great Wilderness is fraught with danger everywhere, I shouldn't have let Fourth Elder and the others venture into the Great Wilderness..."

Zhao Tianheng sighed lightly, "I only hope that Fourth Elder and the others have not encountered any accidents."

"Master need not worry, the strength of Fourth Elder and the others is not weak, the outer area should not pose much danger to them, they will surely return safely."

The Great Elder of the Zhao Family consoled and then changed the subject, "By the way, Master, a few days ago the family specially invited Master Tang, a famous Alchemy Master of Great Wilderness City, to prepare Spirit Medicine Liquid for Wu Ji and also purchased a large amount of First Grade Condensed Truth Pills for him, may I ask how Wu Ji's Cultivation Level is coming along?"

Hearing the Great Elder mention his son, Zhao Tianheng immediately spoke with pride, "Wu Ji has not disappointed me, his cultivation has progressed swiftly, and he is now close to breaking through to the Second Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm. By the half-month mark for the annual festival event, he should be able to step into the Second Layer of Condensed Truth Realm!"

"What?! Wu Ji is about to advance to the Second Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm? In that case, at the annual festival event, our Zhao Family will surely be able to prevail over the Qin Family."

The Great Elder of the Zhao Family was startled and then smiled broadly.

Zhao Tianheng responded with a smile, "The Qin Family? A mere Qin Family, how could they possibly be a match for my Zhao Family?"

"I have already recruited people in advance, and after the year-end celebration, we'll immediately take over all of the Qin Family's enterprises."

...

The Lin Family.

By now, Lin Xi and all the elders had also returned to the Lin Family.

At this moment, in the hall of the Lin Family.

"What did you say? You met Qinchuan in the Great Wilderness, and he even saved you?"

"Is Qinchuan's strength really that formidable? To think that he could kill the fierce mythical creature, the Crimson Scaled Dragon Serpent, with a single spear throw?!"

The patriarch of the Lin Family, Lin Buyu, along with the other elders, upon learning about the events in the Great Wilderness, were immediately astonished, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The Crimson Scaled Dragon Serpent was an extremely ferocious mythical creature!

Even in a severely injured state, it was not something that an average martial artist of the Condensed Truth Realm could handle. Several elders of the Lin Family joined forces and yet they were no match for the beast, almost becoming its food.

And Qinchuan, he actually nailed it to the ground with a single spear?

"Father, what we're saying is true. Qinchuan is really amazing," Lin Xi said excitedly, with a look of admiration shining in her bright, spirited eyes.

Lin Buyu glanced at Lin Xi and then turned his head to ask several elders who had accompanied Lin Xi, "Elders, is Qinchuan's strength truly as terrifying as described?"

An elder who had accompanied Lin Xi replied with a wry smile, "Reporting to the Patriarch, we witnessed it with our own eyes, not a single detail is exaggerated."

"Qinchuan's strength is far greater than our expectations. We have all underestimated him before."

Hearing the elder's words, Lin Buyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, exclaiming,

"I never imagined that this young man, at such a young age, could be so powerful; to nail the mythical Crimson Scaled Dragon Serpent to the ground with a single spear, what kind of skill is that? It's just a pity... that he is not a member of our Lin Family."

The other Lin Family elders were also moved upon hearing this.

"I had heard before that this young man was extraordinary and possessed formidable strength, but I never expected him to be this incredible. If our Lin Family had such talent, why would we fear not surpassing the other families?" an elder couldn't help exclaiming.

Upon hearing this, the elders suddenly recalled the previous consideration of Lin Buyu to betroth Lin Xi to Qinchuan, which at that time was strongly discouraged by them as they felt Qinchuan was not worthy of their Miss Lin.

But now, their opinions had changed.

A boy of only sixteen, possessing such strength, easily killing the fierce Crimson Scaled Dragon Serpent that even several elders togther had failed to handle—how could they not look at him with new respect?

Exchanging glances, one person tentatively said, looking at Lin Buyu, "Patriarch... didn't you previously consider offering the Second Miss to Qinchuan in marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Buyu couldn't help but reconsider, his gaze turning towards Lin Xi, he asked, "Xi'er..."

Hearing the elders' words, Lin Xi's heart was already pounding, and now, blushing shyly at Lin Buyu's inquiry, she said, "It is for Father to decide..."

Upon hearing Lin Xi's response, Lin Buyu was momentarily taken aback, having not expected that Lin Xi would not refuse this time, and even displayed a demure shyness characteristic of a young maiden.

How could Lin Buyu not see his own daughter's feelings? Yet, seeing Lin Xi's changed attitude, he still couldn't help feeling a bit emotional.

He knew his daughter had always set her sights high; if Qinchuan hadn't been truly outstanding and impressive, despite having saved her life on this occasion, it would not have been enough to make her fall for him and agree to marry him.
