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

Fortunately, Zhang Wei, the head of the Zhang family, arrived quickly, which broke Dai Dabai's awkward situation.

After he arrived, he first bowed to Zhang Zicheng before slowly saying, "Elder, I have already understood this matter. You may continue to rest."

"Well, since you're taking over, I won't bother with this old man anymore. Go on!"

In truth, Zhang Zicheng couldn't care less about these things; he was simply doing his own job. Over the past few hundred years, many talented individuals had emerged from the secret realm, and he only needed to hand them over to his family; the rest was none of his concern.

……

Soon, Zhang Wei led everyone to a separate courtyard of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family's residence is located atop a towering mountain peak, the entire peak of which is shrouded in an array, giving it a majestic and solemn appearance.

The spiritual energy here is much richer than in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Everywhere there are towering mountains and flowing water, and swirling mists. From time to time, one can hear the roars of beasts.

"This must be the young friend Chen Xuan that the Supreme Elder mentioned? He seems to be quite a handsome young man!" Upon arriving at the villa, Zhang Wei's gaze fell upon Chen Xuan.

"Junior Chen Xuan greets Senior!" Chen Xuan said calmly, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Hmm, not bad! You must have some skills to be chosen by Prince Dai. May I ask what your expertise is, young friend?"

"Not at all, I only have a little knowledge of medicine. I heard from Prince Dai that their team was just missing someone like me, so I was fortunate enough to be invited!"

"I see." Zhang Wei said no more, and looked at Dai Dabai.

Upon learning that Chen Xuan was just a doctor, Zhang Wei was clearly disappointed. The Zhang family had plenty of worthless people like Chen Xuan! His only advantage was his youth!

"Prince Dai, what about you? I heard from the Supreme Elder that your trip to my Zhang Family Mountain and Sea Boundary didn't seem to go very smoothly!"

"Well, that's a long story!" Dai Dabai said with a hint of bitterness in his voice.

“Prince Dai, there’s no need to feel pressured. Just tell me what happened!” Zhang Wei frowned upon seeing this, a bad feeling creeping over him.

"Here's what happened..." Dai Dabai recounted the whole story, but when it came to She Jingxi, he downplayed the issue, saying that she neglected her duties, didn't care about the mysterious bandit at all, and was even too lazy to manage the matter.

In short, he completely shirked responsibility, blaming everything on She Jingxi when problems arose. Chen Xuan, listening from the side, was quite angry.

"A mysterious bandit? His cultivation level is the same as yours? You can't even touch him?! Could it be...?!" Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei lowered his head in thought.

"What is it?"

"It's nothing. I already know about this matter. Although it can't be entirely blamed on you, Prince Dai, the Zhang family has indeed suffered real losses. Should I ask you for the money, or should I ask your teacher, Master Yu?"

"Well, there's no need to bother the teacher with this matter. It was my fault for not handling things properly. As for the compensation, my White Tiger Empire will take full responsibility and will absolutely not let your Zhang family suffer any losses!"

"That would be perfect. Prince Dai and Miss Zhu can stay at my Zhang family's place for the time being! As for Chen Xuan, consider him a gift to you!"

After saying that, Zhang Wei's figure disappeared. That mysterious person who stole his Zhang family's immortal herb was his real thorn in his side! Even Dai Dabai couldn't find him; besides the Eye of Flaw, there was nothing else! Sure enough, letting one escape back then had become a constant source of trouble!

……

"Chen Xuan, from now on you will live in this villa. Now I will take you to visit my teacher! He is the famous Master Yu, who is renowned throughout the entire cultivation world!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei was giving him so much face, and that he didn't even have to pay to "redeem" Chen Xuan, Dai Dabai felt a surge of satisfaction.

"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

Soon, Chen Xuan followed Dai Dabai and Zhu Zhu to a courtyard, where the spiritual energy was abundant, birds sang and flowers bloomed, and it was like a fairyland on earth.

"Teacher!" Dai Dabai knocked on the door respectfully.

"Huh? Boss Dai? You're back?" The person who opened the door was not Master Yu, but a blue-haired youth.

"Oh, it's the mistress! I just got back too, so I came to visit you right away!"

"I see. And who is this?" Tang Sirui looked at Chen Xuan.

"Oh, this is Chen Xuan. He's a talent I spotted in the Mountain and Sea Realm. He's skilled in medicine, and I wanted him to join our team, which is why I came to inform you, Master!" Dai Dabai explained.

"Ding! A new Chosen One has been detected. Please be aware, host!"

"Heh, how strange, but he actually has this nickname in the cultivation world!" Chen Xuan thought to himself.

"Get me his file!"

"Retrieving..."

Chosen One: Tang Sirui

Cultivation level: Fifth level of Nascent Soul (solid foundation)

Innate Potential: Exceptionally gifted (without limit) with two innate treasures.

Physique: Spider Body (Currently)

Cultivation Technique: Beast Taming and Soul Transformation Technique (Initial version, with no upper limit after subsequent improvements)

Skills: Deadly Bind, Death Coil, Growth, Smash, Spiked Cage...

Luck Value: (Powerful background, abundant opportunities, cautious personality, personally taught by Master Yu, possesses memories of a second life of high-level martial arts, not suitable for direct confrontation)

Items: Spider bone, storage belt, a treasure trove, several hidden weapons...

Current thoughts: Strive to cultivate, dream of becoming a god, marry your lover, and investigate the mysteries of your father and teachers. You are not currently willing for the host to join your team.

Upon hearing this, Tang Sirui's eyes flashed with surprise.

“So you’re a genius from the lower realm. I have no objection to that, but we need to consult our teacher!” Tang Sirui said.

Medical skills? Can they compare to his poison skills? Purely ridiculous! Besides, this guy was brought here by the guy surnamed Dai, so he's definitely one of his own. Joining the team is just asking for trouble, isn't it?

He should be the one in charge of the team!

"That's only right. Where is the teacher? I'll go ask him right now!" Unfortunately, Dai Dabai couldn't see through Tang Sirui's little scheme at all.

"He's right in the yard. I'll go and ask him to come out!" Tang Sirui said, then turned and left.

Soon, Chen Xuan received an invitation from Master Yu, who had already learned about it from Tang Sirui.

“Teacher, I have a request,” Dai Dabai said hurriedly. “I have found a medical genius in the lower realm and have come to introduce him to you. I hope you can accept him into our monster group!”
