Chapter 249: Chapter 155 Meng Chong Returns, An Excited Su Lingxiu_2
 

Heavenly Marrow!

Moreover, there are nine of them, a Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine!

“This is a Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine, Heavenly Marrow!”

Su Lingxiu was astonished. After all, the Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine is already the highest graded medicine in the Inner Domain, and it is incredibly rare.

Sightings of Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine in the Inner Domain are unheard of. Even if it has appeared before, it must have been kept under strict secrecy, hence why there’s no knowledge about it.

No matter the situation, it just goes to show that Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine within the Inner Domain, is a find that is purely down to luck!

“Second senior brother, where did this come from?”

Zhou Ying and Shi’er were both astounded.

When Su Lingxiu introduced the spiritual medicine to the two senior brothers last time, Shi’er was listening on the side too, so he isn’t entirely clueless about spiritual medicine.

Meng Chong came back from the Inner Domain and brought back a Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine?!

Li Xuan couldn’t help but recall how Xu Yan and Meng Chong were either killing Grandmasters or Great Grandmasters.

Could it be that they were targeted because of this single strand of Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine, and therefore encountered so many Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters?

“Hehe, I dug it up from a precious spiritual medicine land.”

Meng Chong said, scratching his head.

“Junior sister, look, there are also Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines.”

Indeed, in the small bundle, the most precious is undoubtedly the Heavenly Marrow. Apart from that, there are several stalks of Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine.

“These spiritual medicines are too precious, especially the Heavenly Marrow. My skill in Alchemy isn’t strong enough currently, therefore I won’t be able to concoct the Heavenly Marrow and Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine into pills right now.”

With such valuable spiritual medicine, every failed concoction attempt equates to a huge loss.

“Although the spiritual medicine has been sealed with medicine foil, the best storage method for Fifth and Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine is to store them in a Spirit Jade box. However, there is no Spirit Jade in this wasteland…”

Su Lingxiu delicately arranged the spiritual medicines and said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“No worries, I will head to the Tianbao Pavilion in Tieshan County and buy some Spirit Jade boxes!”

Meng Chong thumped his chest as he said that.

“Second senior brother, there’s no rush. If you go and buy Spirit Jade boxes, other people will know that you’ve acquired Seventh or Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines.”

Su Lingxiu stopped him hurriedly.

“Shi’er, inform Kou Ruozhi to get some jade boxes. Although they aren’t Spirit Jade boxes, they can still be used for storage. We’ve already sealed the medicines and we aren’t going to store them for several dozen to a hundred years, so ordinary jade boxes will also work.”

Su Lingxiu turned to Shi’er and instructed him.

“Alright, I will inform Kou Ruozhi.”

Shi’er went to find someone to inform Kou Ruozhi, then quickly returned.

Su Lingxiu carefully placed the Heavenly Marrow and a few Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines on the table, waiting for the jade boxes to be delivered.

She opened the huge bag of spiritual medicines, most of which were Eighth Grade, a few Seventh Grade and a tiny portion were Ninth Grade medicines.

“Second senior brother, there are so many spiritual medicines here, I can concoct so many medicinal pills!”

Excitement was beaming from Su Lingxiu’s eyes.

Before her senior brother left for the Inner Domain, he said he would bring back a large bag of spiritual medicines, and indeed he brought back a large bag!

“There are more spiritual medicines with the eldest senior brother. The medicinal ingredients listed on that list can all be gathered, junior sister, you can set your mind at ease to concoct pills!”

Meng Chong thumped his chest as he spoke.

“Second senior brother, was it very dangerous for you all to acquire these spiritual medicines?”

Su Lingxiu looked at him with reddened eyes.

Meng Chong felt somewhat embarrassed under her gaze, he scratched his head and said, “It wasn’t that dangerous, and everything has been resolved by the eldest senior brother.”

“Second senior brother, can you tell me what happened?”

Su Lingxiu curiously asked.

Both Shi’er and Zhou Ying were also wearing expressions of curiosity.

Although Li Xuan was also curious, as a master, he naturally couldn’t show it. He just sat there, calmly reading an ancient book.

It was as though he knew everything all along.

“No problem, this story is quite thrilling!”

Meng Chong shrugged off his embarrassment, pulling over a stool to sit down.

“Shi’er, make tea!”

Zhou Ying gave Shi’er a kick.

Shi’er hurriedly ran to prepare a large pot of tea, pouring a bowl for Meng Chong using a bowl instead of a cup.

He too, yearned for the Inner Domain.

“Let’s start from the beginning, it all started with a coincidence…”

Meng Chong sipped a bowl of tea and began telling his story from when he had accepted Meng Shushu’s task.

When he mentioned Meng Shushu, Zhou Ying was surprised and asked, “Meng Shushu? The heir of the Meng family, a prominent lineage in the world of spiritual medicine explorers?”

“Oh? You know him?”

Meng Chong was astonished.

Su Lingxiu also looked surprised, “Aunt Zhou, you know him?”

Zhou Ying shook her head and explained, “I wouldn’t say I know him. I simply know of him. Meng Shushu is quite famous in the circle of spiritual medicine explorers, being the descendant of the prestigious Meng family despite its decline…”

Meng Chong nodded, adding: “His family mentioned that his parents died unexpectedly while searching for spiritual medicine. His grandfather, reportedly going to aid an old friend, also lost his life.”

That being said, Meng Shushu was the last one remaining in the Meng family.

Upon hearing Meng Chong’s words, Zhou Ying seemed to have recalled something. She opened her mouth to speak but decided against it. She commented instead, “I heard that Old Master Meng was once a Great Grandmaster. I had no idea that he fell.”

A Great Grandmaster, huh!

Meng Chong was no longer in awe of Great Grandmasters. After all, they were just all right in terms of power.

His eldest brother had already accomplished the feat of defeating a Great Grandmaster, so it was his turn next. The only question was which unlucky Great Grandmaster would cross his path.

“Second brother, continue!”, Su Lingxiu piped up.

“… I saved the descendant of my family clan, so he owes me a life. Furthermore, I was given a storage bag, eighteen Sixth Grade spiritual medicines, and then I went to a place rich with spiritual medicine to harvest more,” Meng Chong did not hide anything. He detailed his journey to Mount Tian Hammer, his battle with a Grandmaster, the ensuing half-step with a Great Grandmaster, and finally his escape with Meng Shushu when a Great Grandmaster appeared.

In the end, Xu Yan caught up with them and killed two Great Grandmasters.

They went to the land of spiritual medicine again, killing more Grandmasters, harvesting spiritual medicine, and on their return journey, they came across a murderous skull and defeated that too.

Su Lingxiu, Zhou Ying, and Shi’er looked at Meng Chong, utterly astounded. According to Meng Chong’s narrative, ever since entering the Inner Domain, they’d either been killing Grandmasters or killing Great Grandmasters!

Especially Xu Yan. He was a complete brute!

Killed a Great Grandmaster with one stroke?

“The murderous skull… was killed?”

Zhou Ying was horrified.

This was one of the nine Demon Lords, under Huo Tu, one of the three strongest and most bloodthirsty members.

All three nations posted a bounty on him, but he remained unscathed. Those who had tried to besiege him ended up dead or injured. Hence, everyone was too scared for the reward to hunt the murderous skull down.

Was he really slain by Xu Yan?!

“Yes, he’s dead. My eldest brother turned him into ashes with a single stroke,” Meng Chong confirmed. He went on, “Our eldest brother is getting ready to receive the bounty. He’s also going to take control of Canglan Island. This way, we’ve secured a territory in the Inner Domain.”

“Canglan Island?”

Zhou Ying was a bit startled, “Did Young Master Xu manage to tame Yin Hong?”

Yin Hong was rather famous, especially in the Greater Yue country where he was known as the strongest under the Great Grandmasters.

Meng Chong shook his head and said, “Not at all, Yin Hong has managed to achieve the level of a Great Grandmaster. He picked a fight with my eldest brother at the Seven-star Study Palace and lost to a single slap!”

Zhou Ying: …

A Great Grandmaster, was blown away by a single slap?

After hearing Meng Chong’s recounting, Li Xuan couldn’t help but marvel at the thrilling course of events.

Compared to Meng Chong’s exploits, Xu Yan’s adventures were most likely even more outstanding and thrilling.

He was truly on a constant cycle of killing Grandmasters or preparing to kill Great Grandmasters.

“The Inner Domain is truly exciting!”

Shi’er’s eyes were full of yearning.

Meng Chong gave him a glance and said, “Shi’er, with your current level of strength, it would still be dangerous for you to go to the Inner Domain. There are Grandmaster Martial Artists everywhere.”

Sheer made an embarrassed smile. In Meng Chong’s narrative, Grandmaster Martial Artists seemed to be cut down as easily as vegetables, which made him feel like Grandmasters were like cabbages, available for the picking.

“Actually, there aren’t that many Grandmaster Martial Artists. The Inner Domain is so large…”

Zhou Ying’s voice petered out as she continued speaking.

She simply couldn’t understand why, in the Inner Domain, despite Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters being top-tier cultivators, Xu Yan and Meng Chong had killed one after another ever since their arrival in the Inner Domain.

In the end, Xu Yan started killing Great Grandmasters too, one after another…

They were mowed down like heads of lettuce!

“Younger martial sister, who exactly are your enemies?”

Meng Chong’s sudden somber tone broke the silence, “The organization that hired Meng Shushu and sent that Grandmaster who chased me, wore the same outfit as the Great Grandmaster our Master destroyed. He belonged to the same organization as your enemy.”

Su Lingxiu and Zhou Ying’s expressions abruptly changed.
