His father was transferred to the detention area of the Six Doors headquarters, and his life was guaranteed. Chen Jiuyang also bid farewell to Ji Lengyue and returned home.
His divine soul was almost exhausted, and his physical strength was also failing. After returning home, Chen Jiuyang ate a few mouthfuls of food and went to sleep.
At the Xuan Realm level, ordinary food did not help him much, only maintaining basic daily activities.
The next morning, a large truck arrived at his doorstep. These medicinal herbs were purchased by Chen Jiuyang for eight million yuan through the Yao family.
In addition to the medicinal herbs, there was also a matching medicinal cauldron.
Chen Jiuyang was overjoyed and took the medicinal herbs and the cauldron into Qingzhu Mountain.
The giant medicinal cauldron was filled with a rich medicinal liquid. Chen Jiuyang stripped off his clothes and sat inside to cultivate. In just half an hour, the strength he had consumed yesterday was fully replenished.
He closed his eyes and cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, accelerating the absorption of the medicinal power. The true qi in his body circulated non-stop, cooperating with his divine soul to impact the first major acupoint in his body.
As the medicinal liquid was gradually absorbed by Chen Jiuyang, he withdrew from his cultivation state, his eyes slowly opening. He was both happy and worried: "The eight million yuan worth of medicinal herbs are just enough for me to use once. This time, I managed to open half an acupoint, which is equivalent to half a year of cultivating by absorbing purple qi!"
"My true qi and divine soul have both increased by about one-tenth. The Eight-Nine Arcane Art is truly miraculous."
"However, the rate at which I consume money is too fast. I don't know how much money it will cost to break through the twelve acupoints."
"Wealth, partners, methods, and location. Indeed, it does not deceive me."
At this moment, a strange divine soul thought came, its voice timid, a little curious and fearful: "Who are you?"
Chen Jiuyang was startled. He deployed his divine soul and discovered that the speaker was not human, but a lush green bamboo: "Who are you?"
"They all seem to call me Qingzhu Xian. This Qingzhu Mountain is my territory," the voice came again.
Chen Jiuyang was greatly surprised. Did Qingzhu Mountain truly have a spirit? "When did you gain consciousness?"
Qingzhu Xian said: "Yesterday."
Chen Jiuyang was momentarily speechless. For the past few days, people had been offering incense and tribute to Qingzhu Mountain, which had actually given a bamboo consciousness.
"My name is Chen Jiuyang. This Qingzhu Mountain is your territory. What can you do?" Chen Jiuyang asked.
Qingzhu Xian's timid voice sounded in his mind: "I can control everything within Qingzhu Mountain."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes lit up with joy.
Qingzhu Xian asked: "Why can't I talk to others, but you can communicate with me?"
Chen Jiuyang smiled: "Because I made you a spiritual immortal, you can only communicate with me."
Qingzhu Xian said uncertainly: "Then are you my master...?"
"That's right," Chen Jiuyang said. "My Chen family has lived here for generations. I am your master. When I am not here in the future, you must protect my family well, do you understand?"
Qingzhu Xian asked: "Are you referring to the three women in the master's family?"
"Yes," Chen Jiuyang instructed. "If anyone bullies them, you must intervene."
"I understand, Master," Qingzhu Xian replied.
Chen Jiuyang put on his clothes and walked out of the medicinal cauldron: "You can absorb the residual medicinal power in this cauldron; it will be beneficial to you. I will come to see you again next time."
The Qingzhu Xian bamboo swayed gently: "Master, walk slowly."
Leaving the mountain, Chen Jiuyang's face was filled with joy. Qingzhu Mountain had given birth to a spiritual immortal, and it had recognized him as its master. This was a great event, but he did not intend to tell anyone about this secret for the time being.
Yao Zixuan saw Chen Jiuyang emerge from the mountain and walked up to him, asking, "Jiuyang, how were those medicinal herbs?"
Chen Jiuyang nodded with satisfaction: "The effect is very good. Please help me purchase ten more batches of the same medicinal herbs. The money will come from that piece of glass-type jade material I cut yesterday."
Yao Zixuan said: "No problem. I will call my grandfather later and place the order in his name."
"Hahaha," Chen Jiuyang laughed heartily. "You know how to hide your strength too."
Yao Zixuan blinked her eyes and said, "You are now the only expert my Yao family can rely on, so of course, we must protect you well."
"Right," Chen Jiuyang said. "I want to rebuild a house on Qingzhu Mountain, a large villa. How much would that cost?"
Yao Zixuan understood what he meant and thought for a moment: "It would probably cost around twenty to thirty million."
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his nose: "Alright, please find a construction company to design a good house for my family. After I review it, I will have them start construction."
"Certainly," Yao Zixuan said. "There's no need to find outsiders; my Yao family has its own construction company."
"In that case, please build a temple for Qingzhu Mountain on the front of the mountain."
Yao Zixuan didn't quite understand Chen Jiuyang's intention, but she trusted him implicitly. She nodded and then drove to Fengcheng to personally finalize the architectural drawings for the Chen family's new house.
Since Qingzhu Xian had given birth to a spiritual immortal, it could protect Chen Jiuyang's family. Why would he spend money to buy a house in the city?
Moreover, their family had rural household registration. Qingzhu Xian, along with some nearby fields, were lands allocated by the Dragon Country to their family for farming. The land cost was also saved.
Just then, Lin Yuexian, with a pale face and tear-filled eyes, ran to Chen Jiuyang: "Jiuyang, please save my grandfather."
Chen Jiuyang: "What happened to your grandfather?"
Lin Yuexian's voice was choked with sobs: "Since yesterday, when my grandfather followed your advice, he secretly notified all the Lin family members to gather here. However, the news leaked too quickly. Just now, a master with a personal vendetta against my Lin family wanted to annihilate my Lin family. Fortunately, my grandfather stepped in and repelled him, but my grandfather was seriously injured, vomited blood, and fell unconscious. The doctors at home could do nothing."
Chen Jiuyang frowned slightly: "Don't panic, I'm here. I'll go to your house right away."
After speaking, Chen Jiuyang scooped up Lin Yuexian in a princess carry and hurried towards the Lin family's villa estate.
Chen Jiuyang arrived at the Lin family estate again. The situation was completely different from his last visit.
The once beautiful estate was in ruins, and bloodstains were everywhere.
Many guards and bodyguards were injured.
The number of people within the Lin family had also increased by dozens, all of whom appeared to have extraordinary bearing and a touch of noble temperament.
Chen Jiuyang put Lin Yuexian down: "Where is your grandfather?"
"In the medical room upstairs," Lin Yuexian said, quickly leading Chen Jiuyang to a medical room on the second floor.
On the sickbed, Lin Buwen had lost his previous vigor. His face was pale, blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and a section of his chest had caved in. He was barely clinging to life, as if he could die at any moment.
Seeing Lin Buwen, Lin Yuexian couldn't help but cry. She rushed to the bedside: "Grandfather, I've invited Mr. Chen. You must hold on."
Lin Buwen's eyelids twitched, but he couldn't open them. He struggled to utter a few words: "...Trouble...Mr. Chen..."
"Don't speak," Chen Jiuyang said, placing his hand on Lin Buwen's pulse, his brow furrowed.
Lin Buwen had reached the Huang Realm and had a true qi vortex within him. However, at this moment, a powerful true qi was devouring the vitality of Lin Buwen's internal organs.
If it weren't for the wisp of true qi that Chen Jiuyang had previously infused into him, which was sustaining his life force, Lin Buwen would have already died.
