Soul Emperor Martial God

Outside the boudoir.

Su Zhenxuan looked solemnly at Xiao Yi.

"Elder Yi Xiao, I hope you can guarantee to me,"

"that you will not spread anything you see or hear today."

Xiao Yi nodded lightly and said in a soft voice, "If Master Su believes that this Demon Hunting Hall Sub-Hall Master's assurance has credibility,"

"then I assure you it does."

The illness of the Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was not well known even among the upper echelons of the Royal Capital.

Clearly, there were things that Medicine King Valley did not want outsiders to know about.

Xiao Yi could only guarantee with his title as the Demon Hunting Hall Sub-Hall Master,

a title that in itself was an excellent assurance.

After all, the rule of the Demon Hunting Hall was never to get involved in any disputes between powers.

Su Zhenxuan nodded and smiled, "I might hesitate with other Sub-Hall Masters,"

"but I trust the assurance of Sub-Hall Master Yi Xiao."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi expressed light surprise.

Su Zhenxuan did not explain but pushed open the door and walked in first.

Xiao Yi followed.

Mu Qingyun and Elder Mu also followed.

Upon entering the room, they were met with an immensely powerful force.

This force was brimming with vitality.

It made one feel as though they were immersed in an ocean of life force.

Xiao Yi glanced at the room's furnishings and was slightly astonished.

In the center, there was a table, on which sat a Primordial Crystal Ice Orchid, radiating light.

Around, there were various Eighth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with strong and surging Wood Attribute powers.

Without exception, all were Peak Seventh-grade Heavenly Treasures.

Inside the room, there was a strange prohibition constantly drawing the power of vitality from these Heavenly Treasures.

Following Su Zhenxuan's steps, Xiao Yi approached the bed.

On the bed lay a woman, sleeping.

Beside the bed, an Extreme Ice Sacred Lotus emitted an extremely cold aura.

However, this chilling aura also contained an astonishing power of vitality, making one not feel cold at all but rather extremely comfortable.

The surging life force throughout the room almost entirely came from this Extreme Ice Sacred Lotus.

Xiao Yi was truly filled with awe.

The Extreme Ice Sacred Lotus was one of the rarest Eighth-grade Heavenly Treasures in the world,

known for its abilities to resurrect and nourish the soul.

Even those Eighth-grade Heavenly Treasures at the Peak of Medicine Tower paled in comparison to this Extreme Ice Sacred Lotus.

He hadn't expected Medicine King Valley to possess such a divine item.

No wonder Su Zhenxuan was so solemn, requiring him to make such a guarantee.

The next second,

Xiao Yi looked at the woman on the bed, and upon clearly seeing the woman's face, he was astounded again.

"Qianmo." Xiao Yi was shocked.

He, of course, knew that the Young Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was named Su Qianmo,

but whether this Su Qianmo was the Su Qianmo he once knew, he was not certain,

until now.

Despite years of absence, Qianmo's appearance had not changed much.

Still dressed in a light cyan long robe, still with that face.

However, her current face was very pale, devoid of any color.

The playful mischief previously present on her beautiful face was nowhere to be seen.

Beneath her calm features seemed to hide indescribable discomfort.

"What exactly happened to you?" Xiao Yi murmured to himself in his heart.

"I wonder what illness the Young Valley Master suffers from?" Xiao Yi asked Su Zhenxuan and the others in a grave voice.

"Ah," Su Zhenxuan sighed deeply, his face clouded with sorrow.

After a long moment, he finally spoke, "Elder Yi Xiao, have you ever heard of the Longevity Vine Martial Soul?"

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "I have not."

He had naturally heard about the 'Longevity Vine Martial Soul,' which he learned about from Qianmo years ago.

Back then, he wondered what grade of Martial Soul it was.

But, even now, with his current knowledge, he still had no idea.

He hadn't even heard of it.

Then, Su Zhenxuan spoke again, "Longevity Vine, named after longevity, in this world, who can live forever?"

"In this world, only... a Martial God can achieve immortality," Xiao Yi's expression suddenly changed.

Su Zhenxuan sighed and said, "Unfortunately, anyone who possesses this type of Martial Soul doesn't live past the age of twenty..."

Originally, Su Zhenxuan thought that with his alchemy skills, he could extend Qianmo's life for a few more years.

Perhaps there would be a turnaround.

However, a few days ago, Qianmo's condition suddenly worsened.

According to his estimation, given this situation, Qianmo definitely wouldn't last until next month.

Su Zhenxuan narrated in detail.

Xiao Yi listened intently and nodded, his expression growing graver.

Naturally, he was unwilling to watch Qianmo wither away.

But with even Su Zhenxuan at a loss, what could he do?

Most importantly, the Longevity Vine Martial Soul was extremely mysterious.

Even Qianmo's close relatives knew little about it.

Let alone Xiao Yi.

How could he save her if he didn't understand the situation?

Xiao Yi walked to the bedside to check on Qianmo.

After a while, he stopped checking, his brow deeply furrowed.

Qianmo's body was free from any injuries, perfectly healthy.

Yet, the vitality within her was rapidly draining away.

At this rate, as Su Zhenxuan had said, Qianmo wouldn't last a month.

"How could this be," Xiao Yi muttered through gritted teeth.

"The vitality is vanishing, without a trace and clue."

"So bizarre, there's no way to start treating."

Upon hearing these words, the faces of Su Zhenxuan and others grew even more disappointed.

"I told you," Mu Qingyun scoffed coldly, "neither the Valley Master nor we Alchemy Saints could solve this."

"What can a mere youth accomplish?"

"Elder Yi Xiao, please, you may leave now," Mu Qingyun spoke disdainfully.

"But remember, you must not speak of today's matters to anyone."

"Otherwise, don't blame Medicine King Valley for being inhospitable."

Xiao Yi frowned, he couldn't possibly stand by and watch Qianmo's life force dissipate.

He got up from his seat, bowed to Su Zhenxuan, and said, "The Longevity Vine Martial Soul is too mysterious."

"I'll return to the Main Hall to see if there are any relevant records or information."

"If there's a way, I'll return to help Medicine King Valley."

Su Zhenxuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your effort, Elder Yi Xiao."

Su Zhenxuan said this, but clearly, he had no more expectations or hope for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi turned to leave.

Su Zhenxuan didn't even intend to see him off.

Xiao Yi shook his head but didn't mind.

After all, Su Zhenxuan was just worried about his granddaughter.

However, at that moment, Elder Mu spoke up.

"Wait, Elder Yi Xiao."

Elder Mu looked at Su Zhenxuan and said, "Valley Master, don't we have a detailed record on the Longevity Vine?"

"Oh?" Xiao Yi turned around, looking at Su Zhenxuan.

Su Zhenxuan hesitated.

Mu Qingyun spoke coldly, "Fourth Elder, that's Medicine King Valley's secret, how can you divulge it so casually?"

Elder Mu sternly said, "The young valley master is in mortal peril, what's the use in fussing over those now?"

Mu Qingyun sneered, "I'm just worried that even if Elder Yi Xiao sees our secrets, he'll still be helpless and can't save the young valley master."

"That would just compromise our secrets for nothing."

The two argued.

Su Zhenxuan waved them off, saying, "No need to argue further, Fourth Elder, bring the record."

As he spoke, Su Zhenxuan turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Historically in Medicine King Valley, there was another ancestor who also had the Longevity Vine Martial Soul."

"Alas, despite being a prodigious alchemist, unsurpassed under heaven before his twenties,"

"he still couldn't live past 20 years old."

"Before his death, this ancestor left his insights and understanding of the Longevity Vine Martial Soul."

"Of course, this involves many secrets of Medicine King Valley, hence it wasn't previously shown to you, Elder Yi Xiao."

Xiao Yi nodded, showing understanding.

After a short while, Elder Mu brought the document.

Xiao Yi opened it and read carefully.

After finishing, Xiao Yi suddenly smiled.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yi closed the document and quickly walked towards the bedside.

"Elder Yi Xiao, do you have a solution?" Su Zhenxuan and the others were surprised.

...

The second update.
