The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"What danger could a mere minor world pose? Sister, you're being too cautious!" Bixiao waved her hand, and before the two women could say anything more, she directly separated a wisp of her soul power and left.

"You silly girl!" Yunxiao tapped Bixiao's forehead and said helplessly.

"This is just a minor world; I can subdue it with one hand! I don't need that!"

"Have you forgotten the Heavenly Dao? Forcing your way in will suppress your cultivation."

"Even if I'm suppressed, there can't be any problems!"

"Alright, this matter must be kept secret. I'll go see my brother," Yunxiao said helplessly.

"Yes, I'm going back to my cave to cultivate in seclusion. I'll focus all my energy on that soul in the lower realm!"

"Go!"

……

"Hmm, this reward gives me my coordinates. My location is in the Chen family's royal family in Zhongzhou! It seems there really are some good things there." Chen Xuan held the locator and examined it carefully.

"And then there's my nephew Zhao Tianming, who's also located on the edge of Zhongzhou. I guess he has some information about repairing the soul, which could help save his cheat ability!"

The only uncertainty now is whether he succeeded. If his cheat ability has truly awakened, things will get really tricky! It seems I have no choice but to go over there now. Chen Xuan muttered to himself, looking at Zhao Tianming's location on the locator.

He then put away the locator and flew towards Zhongzhou.

Three days later, Chen Xuan appeared in Yulong City, the capital of the Great Chen Dynasty in Zhongzhou.

Jade Dragon City is located in the heart of Central China, the seat of the Great Chen royal family, and the most prosperous city in the entire Central China. Merchants flock here, pedestrians throng, and all kinds of rare antiques and delicacies are available, leaving Chen Xuan somewhat overwhelmed.

But he immediately stopped paying attention to these things and, guided by the coordinates of the treasure, walked to the outside of the palace and stopped.

"Damn it, I knew this wouldn't be so simple. The item is in the palace. How am I supposed to handle this? The Chen Dynasty's power is no match for the Zhou family's. There are definitely overwhelming combat forces inside! Although I have the trial card, I can't guarantee what other tricks are inside. It's best to play it safe!"

With that, Chen Xuan returned the way he came, found the most luxurious inn to stay in, and decided to inquire about the situation before making any further decisions.

After several days, he finally obtained some crucial information.

Recently, it seems that some distinguished guests have arrived at the royal family, and everyone in the royal family has become very busy and is also very cautious.

Furthermore, the royal family here seems to be preparing a grand celebration, supposedly to welcome this mysterious and important figure.

This news made Chen Xuan's heart tighten slightly. If even the royal family was like this, then if there really was a good treasure, they might get there first, making it even more difficult for him to obtain this so-called treasure.

Then came another message, just released today. This one was quite interesting: the Empress Dowager is unwell, and the palace physicians are unable to cure her. She urgently needs a cultivator with medical skills to come! If the physician is cured, she will give her a thousand-year-old Frost Grass!

This is a rare spiritual plant with the ability to repair the soul.

This news was extremely advantageous to him; it was the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the inner palace... cough cough, the imperial palace!

"System, what medical skills do you have? Show them to me!"

"Ding, query in progress, please wait..."

Nine-Turn Divine Needle Destiny Value

The Secret of Longevity: Destiny Value

The Divine Canon of the Medicine King: Fate Value

The Divine Hand Manual: Fate Value

Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Passive) Destiny Value

……

Chen Xuan: "..."

"This is still a mess. I can only exchange for two. The first one looks like acupuncture, which requires learning. It's not as good as being proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, which can be mastered instantly! At least the human body is the same, so I can at least know what disease she has."

"Would you like to redeem the Traditional Chinese Medicine Mastery?"

"exchange!"

In an instant, Chen Xuan's Destiny Value decreased, but in its place came an overwhelming flood of knowledge and case studies that entered his mind.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully mastering Traditional Chinese Medicine. You have now unlocked the next stage of TCM, 'Comprehensive Understanding'. Required Destiny Points!"

"What? I feel great! I know almost everything. How come I've got another one: mastery?"

"This fusion of knowledge about various spiritual herbs in this small world, as well as the effects produced by their combination, can further enhance the host's medical skills! In addition, there will be expanded knowledge on acupuncture through the infusion of spiritual energy."

"There's DLC too? Why didn't you give it to me along with it?"

"Ding! This can't be purchased with Destiny Points!"

"..."

"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that!"

After exiting the system interface, Chen Xuan released Chen Wenwen, intending to go out for a stroll with her. Now that he had arrived in Jade Dragon City, it was time to ask his wife about her background.

"Where is this, my husband?" Chen Wenwen asked curiously as soon as she came out.

"This is my room, where else could it be!"

"No, what they meant was... you know what they meant!" Chen Wenwen stamped her foot. After being nurtured by Chen Xuan, she had already reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Hehe, this is Jade Dragon City! I've come to the capital of the Chen Kingdom." Chen Xuan laughed and stepped forward to hug Chen Wenwen.

"Jade, Jade Dragon City?! How, how did we end up here?" Chen Wenwen panicked instantly, her face turning slightly pale.

She recalled her childhood experiences and the fear of being chased by her enemies.

Seeing that Chen Wenwen was not in a good mood, Chen Xuan immediately became certain that she was the child who had run away back then, but now he had to comfort her properly.

Eventually, Chen Wenwen's emotions stabilized and she calmed down.

"My husband, we...we shouldn't have come here..."

"What's going on here? Is someone chasing you?"

"Ah?! Husband, how did you know?!" Chen Wenwen was flustered. She didn't want Chen Xuan to be hunted down and imprisoned because of her.

“After all, it happened 20 years ago, so it’s not a secret. I can find out about it easily. I only realized you were the one from back then after seeing your reaction just now…” Chen Xuan didn’t finish his sentence.

"So, so you already knew, my husband. Then let's leave quickly. I... I don't want to be a burden to you." Chen Wenwen looked at Chen Xuan with a face full of worry.

Chen Xuan patted Chen Wenwen's hand gently and said, "Don't worry, Wenwen. So many years have passed. Who could tell how much you've changed? Even if they could recognize you, I would still protect you."

“But…” Chen Wenwen wanted to say something, but seeing Chen Xuan’s determined eyes, she swallowed her words and just hugged Chen Xuan tightly.

"So what exactly happened then?"

"I... I don't know either. I was too young to understand anything at the time. My mother then took me and fled. Later, to protect me, she stayed behind to cover our retreat and was captured by the new emperor's henchmen..."

"Captured and taken back? You mean she hasn't been...?"

“I don’t know either. I did investigate when I was in the Zhao family. My mother was arrested a few days ago, and she was forced to admit the legitimacy of the new emperor. After that, there was no news of her!” At this point, Chen Wenwen burst into tears.

"Then who are your enemies?"

"That new emperor is definitely going to escape, and as for the rest, I don't know..."

Chen Xuan gently hugged Chen Wenwen and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, I will find out the truth about this and avenge you."

"No, my husband, please don't! My father was at the late Nascent Soul stage. According to my mother, he was killed by that mysterious person with a single blow. You are definitely no match for them. Wenwen doesn't want to lose anyone else!"

Chen Wenwen hugged Chen Xuan tightly.

"Don't worry, Wenwen, even if I can't beat them, there's still the secret realm! I can go back anytime!" Chen Xuan continued to comfort her.

"Mm." Chen Wenwen nodded gently, but her worries did not lessen in the slightest.

Chen Xuan gently stroked Chen Wenwen's hair and comforted her, "Alright, let's go for a walk first, relax, and find out some more information while we're at it."

Chen Wenwen nodded obediently and followed Chen Xuan out of the inn.

However, the two had just stepped outside when they saw a familiar figure appear.
