130: Chen Wenwen's life story

“What danger could there be in a mere Minor Thousand Worlds? Sister, you are still too cautious!” Bi Xiao waved her hand, and before the two women could say more, she directly separated a wisp of her Soul power and departed.

“You girl!” Yun Xiao tapped Bi Xiao’s forehead, saying helplessly.

“It’s just a Minor Thousand Worlds, I can subdue it with one hand! No need for that!”

“Did you forget about the Heavenly Dao? Forcibly entering will suppress your cultivation.”

“Even if I’m suppressed, there won’t be any problems!”

“Alright, this matter must be kept secret. I’ll go find big brother.” Yun Xiao said helplessly.

“Mm-hmm, I’m returning to my Immortal Cave to cultivate in seclusion. All my energy will be focused on that Soul in the Lower Realm!”

“Go!”

… …

“Hmm, the coordinate for this reward shows the location in the Chen Imperial Family of Central Continent! It seems there really are some good things there.” Chen Xuan held the locator, observing it carefully.

“And my grand-nephew Zhao Tianming, his location is also right on the edge of Central Continent. He’s probably looking for information on how to repair a Soul to save his Golden Finger!

Now, I’m not sure if he has succeeded. If his Golden Finger truly awakens, then it will be quite troublesome! It seems I have no choice but to go there.” Looking at Zhao Tianming’s location on the locator, Chen Xuan muttered to himself.

Then he put away the locator and flew towards Central Continent.

Three days later, Chen Xuan appeared in Jade Dragon City, the capital of Great Chen in Central Continent.

Jade Dragon City is located in the heart of Central Continent, the seat of the Great Chen Imperial Family, and the most prosperous city in the entire Central Continent. Merchants gather here, pedestrians are like weaving, and all kinds of rare antiques, delicacies, and fine wines are readily available, making Chen Xuan a bit overwhelmed.

But then he stopped paying attention to these and, guided by the treasure’s coordinates, walked to the outside of the imperial palace and stopped.

“Damn it, I knew this wouldn’t be that simple. The item is in the imperial palace. How am I supposed to get it? The Chen Imperial Dynasty’s power is not comparable to the Zhou Family’s; there are definitely crushing-level combat powers inside! Although I have an experience card, I can’t guarantee what other strange things are inside. It’s better to be cautious!”

Saying that, Chen Xuan returned the way he came, found the most luxurious inn, checked in, and decided to gather information first.

For several days in a row, he finally obtained several crucial pieces of information.

Recently, the Imperial Family here seems to have a distinguished guest arriving. Everyone in the Imperial Family has become extremely busy, and they all look very cautious.

In addition, the Imperial Family here seems to be preparing a grand celebration recently, reportedly to welcome this mysterious important figure.

This news made Chen Xuan’s heart tighten slightly. Even the Imperial Family members were like this. If there really was a good treasure, they might get there first, and it would be even more difficult for him to obtain this so-called treasure.

Then there was another piece of information, just released today. This one was more interesting: the Empress Dowager was feeling unwell, and the imperial physicians in the palace could not cure her. An urgent need for a Cultivator skilled in medicine to come forward! If cured, she would give out a millennium frost grass!

This is a rare Spirit Medicine with the function of repairing the Soul.

And this news was very beneficial to him; it was the best opportunity to infiltrate the Royal harem… ahem, the imperial palace!

“System, what medical skills do you have? Filter them out and show them to me!”

“Ding, querying, please wait…

《Nine Revolutions Divine Needle》 Heaven's Mandate Value 10000

《Longevity Art》 Heaven's Mandate Value 500000

《Medicine King’s Divine Canon》 Heaven's Mandate Value 50000

《Sacred Hand Compendium》 Heaven's Mandate Value 30000

《Traditional Chinese Medicine Mastery》 (Passive) Heaven's Mandate Value 20000

… …

Chen Xuan: “…”

“What is this for? I can only exchange for two. The first one clearly involves acupuncture and requires learning, which is not as good as Traditional Chinese Medicine Mastery, which can be mastered instantly! At least the human body is the same, so I can somewhat figure out what illness she has.”

“Do you want to exchange for Traditional Chinese Medicine Mastery?”

“Exchange!”

Instantly, Chen Xuan’s Heaven's Mandate Value was reduced by 20000, accompanied by an overwhelming amount of knowledge and cases entering his mind.

“Congratulations to the Host for successfully mastering Traditional Chinese Medicine. The next stage, 《Profound Comprehension》, has now been unlocked, requiring 50000 Heaven's Mandate Value!”

“?????? I feel very good, I basically know all the knowledge, why is there another Profound Comprehension?”

“This Profound Comprehension refers to the knowledge of various Spirit Medicine in this Minor Thousand Worlds, as well as the effects produced after mixing them, which can further advance the Host’s medical skills! And in terms of acupuncture, there will also be expanded knowledge of Spiritual Qi infusion.”

“There’s also DLC? Why didn’t you give it to me all at once?”

“Ding, this cannot be purchased with just 20000 Heaven's Mandate Value!”

“…”

“Forget it, forget it, that’s fine!”

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

“Where is this, husband?” As soon as Chen Wenwen came out, she curiously stared at her surroundings.

“This is my room, where else could it be!”

“No, what I mean is… you know what I mean!” Chen Wenwen stomped her foot. At this time, after Chen Xuan’s nurturing, she was already at the Early Stage of Golden Core cultivation.

“Hehe, this is Jade Dragon City! I’ve come to the capital of this Chen country.” Chen Xuan smiled and went forward to hug Chen Wenwen.

“Jade, Jade Dragon City?!!! How, how did we come here?” Chen Wenwen instantly became a little flustered, her face slightly pale.

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

And Chen Xuan, seeing that Chen Wenwen’s state was not right, immediately confirmed that she was the child who escaped back then. However, he had to comfort her well now.

Eventually, Chen Wenwen’s emotions stabilized and calmed down.

“Husband, we, we shouldn’t have come here, this place…”

“What’s wrong with this place? Is someone chasing you?”

“Ah?! Husband, how did you know?!” Chen Wenwen’s expression was panicked. She didn’t want Chen Xuan to be hunted down and imprisoned because of her.

“After all, what happened 20 years ago isn’t a secret. I can easily find out. Just now, seeing your reaction, I realized that you are the one from back then…” Chen Xuan didn’t finish his sentence.

“So, so husband, you already knew. Then let’s leave quickly. I, I don’t want to drag you down.” Chen Wenwen looked at Chen Xuan with a worried expression.

Chen Xuan patted Chen Wenwen’s hand gently and said softly, “Don’t worry, Wenwen. How many years has it been? Who could recognize your changes? Even if they could, I would protect you.”

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

“So what exactly happened back then?”

“I, I don’t know either. I was still young then and didn’t react to anything. My imperial mother took me and fled. Later, to protect me, she stayed behind alone and was captured by the new emperor’s lackeys…”

“Captured back? You mean she wasn’t…”

“I’m not sure. I did investigate when I was in the Zhao Family. A few days after my imperial mother was captured, she was forced to acknowledge the legitimacy of the new emperor, and then there was no news of her!” At this point, Chen Wenwen was already sobbing.

“Then who are your enemies?”

“That new emperor definitely can’t be excluded, and the rest I don’t know…”

Chen Xuan gently hugged Chen Wenwen and comforted her softly, “Don’t worry, I will investigate this matter and avenge you.”

“No, husband, don’t! My imperial father was at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul cultivation back then. According to my imperial mother, he was killed in one blow by that mysterious person. You are definitely not their opponent. Wenwen doesn’t want to lose anyone else!”

Chen Wenwen hugged Chen Xuan tightly.

“Don’t worry, Wenwen. Even if I can’t defeat them, there’s still the Secret Realm, isn’t there! I can go back anytime!” Chen Xuan continued to comfort her.

“Mm.” Chen Wenwen nodded lightly, but the worry in her heart did not lessen at all.

Chen Xuan gently stroked Chen Wenwen’s hair and comforted her, “Alright, let’s go out for a walk first, relax, and gather some more information.”

Chen Wenwen nodded obediently and walked out of the inn with Chen Xuan.

However, as soon as the two of them stepped out, they saw a familiar figure appear.
