Chapter 639: Chapter 632: Reincarnation of the Spiritual Treasure?

Heavenly Mechanism Technique, which could divine a trace of Heaven’s secret.

Unfortunately, the results of such divination remained unclear and somewhat inaccurate.

After mastering this skill, Chen Hai had used it a few times, but he hadn’t formed the habit of staying indoors, relying solely on the Heavenly Mechanism Technique to understand the affairs of the world.

Fang Tiance wished to take him as his mentor, and Chen Hai neither agreed nor rejected him.

Now, back in this grand hall, using the Heavenly Mechanism Technique to divine Fang Tiance’s situation was merely a spur-of-the-moment thought.

His fingers, like lingering shadows, calculated for a long while, and scenes began to appear in Chen Hai’s mind.

He seemed to see, in an endless abyss where multicolored lights converged, after countless years of nurturing, a basketball-sized medicine jar with a peculiar appearance slowly took shape.

Once this medicine jar was successfully nurtured and appeared in the world, wherever it went, it consumed what it encountered: rocks, grass, trees, all were absorbed into the jar and, nurtured over time, emitted a strong medicinal fragrance, transforming into pills.

Then, a Taoist with four swords on his back discovered the jar and forcibly subdued and captured it.

In a fierce battle, the medicine jar shattered into pieces and entered the cycle of reincarnation…

The fragmented scenes that appeared in Chen Hai’s mind were immensely shocking.

After finishing the calculation and the images abruptly vanished, nearly half an hour had passed before he awoke from that deep shock.

“Innate Spiritual Treasure, Spirit Containing Vase…”

“That Ye Fangxian, with such a terrifying origin, could he actually be the reincarnation of a Spiritual Treasure?”

Still visibly shaken, Chen Hai took a deep breath and exclaimed.

This Ye Fangxian, back when he was in the territory of West Barbarian Mountain and before going to other territories, there was a rumor that he possessed the Medicine Jar Holy Body.

Any pill that entered his stomach would be refined into the purest medicinal power in the shortest time and absorbed and transformed into his own strength.

Even Chen Hai had heard this rumor, though he hadn’t taken it seriously.

After all, Ye Fangxian was still someone he could knock out with a single slap in front of him, and such a person, no matter how astonishing his origin, hadn’t drawn much of Chen Hai’s attention.

Honestly, if it weren’t for using the Heavenly Mechanism Technique this time, Chen Hai wouldn’t dare believe that Ye Fangxian was the reincarnation of an Innate Spiritual Treasure with such a terrifying background.

“If this guy dies midway and can’t grow up, he’ll definitely enter the cycle of reincarnation again.”

“But if he can truly grow and rediscover himself, his potential is boundless, and his future is immeasurable.”

“Calling such a person ‘material worth developing’ is not an exaggeration at all.”

“Taking him as my disciple, becoming my student, he should be barely qualified!”

…

Ideas swirled frenetically in his mind, Chen Hai mumbled to himself.

Who among mentors wouldn’t want to accept a few disciples with heaven-defying talents?

Chen Hai was no exception.

Having already taken Zhang Tianci as his First Disciple, adding a few more to his Sect seemed hardly significant.

Knowing Ye Fangxian’s background, he had evidently begun to contemplate it.

“Previously, Ye Fangxian knelt before me, wanting to take me as his mentor, and I didn’t give him an answer; I just left.”

“How long has it been? Now, if I were to proactively seek him out and accept him into my sect, it wouldn’t be quite appropriate—it would seem like I’m undervaluing myself.”

“If he truly is sincere and wishes to become my disciple, after a while, he should seek another opportunity to propose this matter.”

“When that time comes, I’ll reluctantly agree to his request to take him as my disciple!”

After pondering for a while in his mind, Chen Hai thought to himself.

Of course, he also prepared for the worst-case scenario. If, by any chance, Ye Fangxian were to be accepted into another’s tutelage, he would end the matter then and there by simply killing him to prevent future troubles.

After all, only those talents who grow up are true geniuses; if they die during their growth, it’s their own bad luck.

“Future matters can be discussed in the future.”

“The Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger is now sufficiently mastered and can be regarded as one of my Black Water Lineage’s Slaughter Skills. However, the disciples under me still lack in mastering the Basic Skill of our sect.”

“It seems a bit inappropriate for my disciples to cultivate Basic Skills from other sects.”

“With my current realm and my own methods of cultivation as the source, I should already be able to create a Basic Cultivation Method for my disciples to practice.”

“I have successfully solidified my Earth Immortal Domain. Staying within my own territory, I am relatively safe. The upcoming period is a good time to create the Basic Cultivation Method for my lineage!”

This thought appeared in Chen Hai’s mind as he stepped out of the grand hall and entered the Cultivation Hall.

In the center of the hall, Chen Hai sat cross-legged on a cushion. He watched his nose, observed his heart, and retracted all distracting thoughts, soon entering into meditation.

…

Medicine King Valley, central area, a grand hall.

Standing several feet apart, Ye Fangxian and Yan Song faced each other.

“The position of Sect Master should be held by the capable. Uncle Master Yan, I have given you a month to think over the matter of your abdication. How is your consideration going?” With his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Fangxian asked calmly, staring straight at Yan Song.

“Dynasties change, and new talents emerge. Fangxian, I am glad to see that your strength far surpasses mine.”

“I have no objections to you taking over the position of Sect Master.”

“I am just curious, why have you, who always regarded power and status as fleeting clouds and sought only to focus on cultivation, suddenly become interested in this position of Sect Master?”

Yan Song’s gaze towards Ye Fangxian was incredibly complex. He sighed deeply in response.

Ye Fangxian, who returned to Medicine King Valley not long ago, had inexplicably challenged him several times.

Yan Song couldn’t bear to refuse outright.

Each time, Yan Song was severely beaten.

Even in rounds where Ye Fangxian gave him the advantage by using only one hand, Yan Song was still beaten within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, ending up with a swollen nose and fallen face, unable to get up.

Fortunately, their matches were private, and no outsiders witnessed them.

Otherwise, Yan Song’s dignity would have completely eroded, and he would have had to walk with his head lowered, too ashamed to look anyone in the eye.

In the Cultivation World, the strong are venerated. Since Ye Fangxian possessed such strength, Yan Song saw no problem in ceding the position to him.

However, he could clearly sense that Ye Fangxian’s actions were abnormal. His intentions for wanting to take over as Valley Master of Medicine King Valley obviously hid ulterior motives, and it was unclear what mischievous plans he harbored!

Claiming that he needed time to think was merely Yan Song’s strategy to stall, but now, Ye Fangxian had pressed the issue once again. His demeanor seemed ready to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

Facing such a situation, what could Yan Song do?

By raising this question, he intended to clear things up if he were to relinquish his position.

“Uncle Master Yan, you must have heard of the Five Thunders Sect merging into the Bloodthirsty Sect.”

“West Barbarian Mountain, a poor territory with hundreds of big and small sects, is quite abnormal. A unified territory is the trend.”

“Our Medicine King Valley is already declining. Only by leaning on a bigger power can we go farther and soar higher.”

“My plan is, once I take over the Sect Master position, to follow the Five Thunders Sect’s example and merge our Medicine King Valley into the Bloodthirsty Sect.”

“Sect Master Ye of the Bloodthirsty Sect has promised me that after our Medicine King Valley merges into the Bloodthirsty Sect, we can have our own hall. Except for major matters, where we need to follow the sect’s commands, on ordinary days, we can still act independently and maintain a certain degree of autonomy.”

Calm and composed, Ye Fangxian smiled faintly.

His intentions for taking control of Medicine King Valley and his subsequent actions were impossible to hide.

Since Yan Song had asked, he felt no need to beat around the bush and responded straightforwardly.
