System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Chen Xuan was a little confused when he heard Jiang Ming talking to himself.

"What underworld? Brother Jiang Ming, you're not dead yet."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he picked up several spiritual herbs beside him and rubbed them vigorously with his hands. In no time, he had rubbed the herbs into a green ball.

Although it looks a bit ugly, this shape makes it easier to digest.

“Your dantian is now devoid of any spiritual energy. Now eat this hand-rolled dumpling.”

The dumpling in Chen Xuan's hands was passed back and forth between his palms, all to keep it from falling apart into a pile of cow dung.

Ignoring Jiang Ming's lack of reaction, Chen Xuan reached out and pinched his chin, opening Jiang Ming's mouth. Then, Chen Xuan stuffed the green dumpling in his other hand into his throat.

The operation was so swift that the huge ball of spiritual medicine entered his mouth, causing Jiang Ming to choke and roll his eyes.

Chen Xuan was also shocked to see this situation. He had overlooked Jiang Ming's weak state and had no choice but to quickly reach out and stroke Jiang Ming's neck to force him to swallow.

After forcibly swallowing the large dumpling, Jiang Ming looked as if he had died once, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"I'm not dead? I suffered such serious injuries, yet I'm still alive? My shoulder and arm have even grown back?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to save him; if he had died again because of the medicine, it would have been a huge loss.

"Quickly sit down and absorb the medicinal power." Chen Xuan pulled Jiang Ming, who was lying on the futon, up, and then began to vigorously rub the remaining spiritual herbs with both hands.

These medicinal herbs, while not as precious as naturally grown treasures with abundant spiritual energy, are ripened under the conditions of being cultivated in top-grade spiritual fields. In short, they are not as precious as naturally born herbs, yet they are suitable for various scenarios.

When Jiang Ming learned that he was not dead, he still had many questions to ask Chen Xuan about what had happened.

Chen Xuan didn't give him time to ask questions, so he could only passively sit cross-legged with his eyes closed and immediately refine the spiritual medicine in his stomach.

As Jiang Ming circulated his spiritual energy to digest the medicinal herbs in his stomach, he was immediately surprised to find that the two hidden dangers that had blocked his path to immortality for years had completely disappeared.

At this moment, his spiritual energy circulated smoothly throughout his body.

As the first dose of the spiritual medicine transformed into pure spiritual energy and gathered in his dantian, Jiang Ming's complexion improved significantly, at least regaining some color, unlike his previous deathly pale face.

“Brother Chen Xuan, I don’t know how to repay such a life-saving grace. It’s a pity that I don’t have a sister or anything, otherwise I would definitely betroth her to you.”

Chen Xuan had already prepared the pills in his hand, but upon hearing this, he didn't take them and instead fed them to Jiang Ming, who was looking grateful.

"It's nothing, it's nothing at all."

Having regained some of his strength, Jiang Ming opened his eyes, smacked his lips, and chewed on the medicinal dumpling. He looked at Chen Xuan with a puzzled expression and said, "Brother Chen Xuan, please feel free to name your conditions."

Chen Xuan smiled upon hearing this, and without saying a word, held up four fingers to Jiang Ming.

"Four Jiang clan girls?" Jiang Ming nodded when he saw the strange look on Chen Xuan's face. "No problem. I'll have Xue'er choose the core tribe girls for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan, who had been smiling, turned into a long face as long as Changbai Mountain.

"Isn't it forty, not four?" Jiang Ming looked at Chen Xuan with concern in his eyes. "Although we cultivators are strong after a breakthrough, can you really afford to lose weight over forty?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes twitched, clearly indicating that he was about to lash out.

“It’s four parts, the first-class inheritance of the Jiang family’s methods!” Chen Xuan rolled his eyes and stated bluntly.

"Huh?" Jiang Ming was also shocked upon hearing this. He looked at Chen Xuan as if to say, "I misjudged you." "A gentleman acquires wealth in a proper way. Brother, it's not right to take advantage of someone's misfortune."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan laughed loudly and said, "It's not like I'm asking you for it. I will personally write a letter to your ancestor to ask for it."

Actually, Jiang Ming was just joking before. He knew what Chen Xuan was thinking as soon as Chen Xuan showed his four fingers.

After all, the Longxia tribe at this time had no shortage of people or top-notch combat power to protect the tribe; what it lacked was precisely this method of inheritance.

"There's no need for Brother Chen Xuan to tell me; I will naturally inform the Ancestor about this matter."

Hearing Jiang Ming say this, Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "It seems you've discovered it."

"I have been trying to get rid of the hidden dangers within myself and the insidious means that are blocking my path to immortality day and night, but unfortunately, I have tried countless methods and none of them have worked."

Jiang Ming looked at Chen Xuan with excitement, "I never expected that you would survive a sniper attack and, by some twist of fate, break the shackles on the path to immortality."

"Indeed, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Compared to my potential on the path of cultivation, the four first-class inheritances are certainly rare, but they are not as valuable as me, the next patriarch of the Jiang clan."

Chen Xuan had long guessed that Jiang Ming was the candidate for the next clan leader of the Jiang clan.

When gentlemen conduct business, they only need to understand each other's needs and then do not delve into further details.

Upon hearing about the assassination attempt, Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Jiang Ming, asking, "What exactly happened? The Qushan region has maintained a relatively stable balance of power for thousands of years. I believe there have been many border conflicts like this in the past. Does your Jiang clan always end up in such a sorry state?"

Chen Xuan, unaware of the details of Jiang Ming's assassination attempt, asked in confusion.

“Naturally, they are not local experts from Qushan. If they did not form a hundred-person battle formation together, even five people at the same level of the Opening Mansion Realm would not be able to hurt me this badly.” Jiang Ming said this with confidence in his eyes, but when he thought about the addition of another terrifying force to the struggle for the Qushan overlord, his heart became heavier and heavier.

"Brother Chen Xuan, where is this place? Where is my spirit beast Huo'er?"

Chen Xuan noticed that Jiang Ming was somewhat anxious, so he didn't keep him in suspense and directly led him out of the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion.

Seeing Chen Xuan put away the palm-sized ancient building, Jiang Ming didn't think much of it. After all, its level and foundation were a bit low. Such a portable immortal abode was something that only princes and nobles of county cities, or holy sons and daughters of top sects could take out.

Jiang Ming believed that the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion was just an ordinary personal residence, probably containing only some second-rate magical treasures.

As Chen Xuan led Jiang Ming out of his personal immortal abode, and seeing that he was still at the edge of the Zelin Sea, Jiang Ming immediately used the master-servant contract to summon the Firewing Bird.

Chen Xuan also had a thought in his mind to tell Bai Li to come over.

"Brother Chen Xuan, please don't be angry. However, we must inform the Ancestor about this matter immediately so that the Ancestor and others can quickly formulate a battle plan."

Chen Xuan nodded. He wasn't in a hurry, after all, this vast foundation wasn't built by the ancestors of Longxia.
