He was more anxious than anyone else about his cultivation level, but he had no good solutions. Seeing Yun Chu'an burst in so abruptly, hope ignited in his heart, and he asked urgently and anxiously, "Well, is there a way?"
Yun Chu'an rushed into the cave, handed him the mask, and said, "There's a way you can try. First, put on the mask, then memorize these incantations, change your appearance, and, well, just look like me, make yourself look like a thief with shifty eyes."
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River did as he was told, put on the mask and chanted a spell. Soon, the mask merged with his face, turning him into a burly man with shifty eyes.
Yun Chu'an examined him for a moment and nodded gently: "Alright, then remember your new identity: your name is Mire, you are a rat demon, and also my brother. You are exceptionally talented, but you were harmed by a villain at the crucial moment of your breakthrough, and your cultivation level dropped instead of rising. I had no choice but to bring you here for treatment, do you understand?"
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River repeated this information, then nodded gently in a deep voice: "I understand. So, where are we going?"
Yun Chu'an waved for him to follow: "You'll know when we get there. Just listen to me and don't ask any more questions."
Weihe Longzi, feeling uneasy, followed. The two left the cave, changed direction, and simultaneously used the Shrinking Earth Technique to advance.
The weather outside was fine, with warm sunshine, but this yang energy couldn't dispel the weakness and coldness caused by the loss of the dragon prince's cultivation.
After walking a few steps, he observed his surroundings and sensed that he was going the wrong way: "Brother Yun, where are we going?"
Yun Chuan said, "Here, you should call me Master Mi."
Weihe Longzi quickly changed his tune: "Alright, Master Mi, so where are we going? This direction seems a bit wrong, doesn't it?"
Chapter 294 Dragon Prince: What have you done here?!
Yun Chuan said, "It's complicated to explain, but believe me, this is the place that can save you."
He said he would continue forward, and Weihe Longzi, suppressing his unease, followed.
The two rounded a hilltop, and a familiar scene came into view. Looking at the enormous cave entrance ahead, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River immediately paled.
This place turned out to be the lair of his enemy, the stronghold of the Yellow Python Clan, the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes!
His expression changed drastically, and he became extremely anxious. He lowered his voice and said, "Master Yun... Master Mi, why did you bring me to a place like this!"
He trembled uncontrollably. For the past six months, everything here had become a nightmare for him. He constantly thought about escaping, but he never imagined that he would return so soon after he had left!
Yun Chu'an said in a low voice, "Calm down! Don't worry, I have a lot of prestige here. Just listen to me and be careful, and I'll keep you safe and sound. Besides, I can also heal your injuries!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and stepped forward. The Dragon Prince of the Wei River followed behind him, looking at the snake demons standing guard at the entrance of the cave ahead. They hadn't even fully transformed yet, and their heads were still snake heads. That appearance always evoked his psychological trauma, making the Dragon Prince's legs go weak.
Well, we've come this far, there's no turning back, we can only trust him!
With a determined effort, he stepped forward and followed.
Then, something shocking happened.
Ahead, the two snake demons on guard immediately put on a respectful and obsequious expression upon seeing them arrive, and greeted them with a smile: "Master Mi, you've arrived!"
"May Master Mi be blessed!"
"Congratulations, Master Mi, on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."
……
They showered him with compliments, and Yun Chu'an's face showed satisfaction. He casually took out two hundred spirit stones as a reward for them, and then said, "Go and inform Diao De Si that I brought him a Foundation Establishment Pill!"
After advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, his generosity became far greater than before, naturally making the two snake demons even more overjoyed. They even abandoned their duty of standing guard and rushed inside, leaving the gate unattended for a time. Yun Chu'an walked in leisurely with his hands behind his back.
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River followed him, trembling with fear: "You are now among these snake demons..."
Yun Chuan said, "They are their benefactors. Don't worry, I've got these guys all under my thumb now. As long as we don't make a big fuss, no one will notice anything unusual about us."
Weihe Dragon Prince nodded slightly, a very strange and unusual emotion rising in his heart. The two passed through the long passage after the main entrance of the cave and once again arrived inside the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
Returning to this familiar place, but now with a completely different identity and from a completely different perspective, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River felt extremely complicated.
He glanced around at the low-level snake demons passing by. He could no longer see any covetousness for his flesh and blood essence in them; all he could see was their undisguised fawning and flattery.
Disgusting.
Looking at the expressions of these snake demons, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River felt an indescribable nausea rise in his heart. He frowned almost imperceptibly, making up his mind that he would eradicate this entire clan, leaving not a single one alive!
No sooner said than done, as the two were walking slowly, two hurried figures rushed towards them from ahead. Yun Chu'an took a closer look and recognized them as the Diao brothers, two muscular men dressed in coarse cloth. To his surprise, Diao De'er had already entered the Foundation Establishment stage!
That Foundation Establishment Pill was actually quite effective.
As he was thinking this, he saw Diao De'er rushing towards him with a face full of enthusiasm: "Brother! Thanks to you, brother!"
Diao Desi was so excited that his hands were trembling: "Brother, those two guys said you brought me a Foundation Establishment Pill, is that true?"
He only had eyes for Yun Chu'an, completely ignoring Weihe Longzi behind him. The latter couldn't help but feel strange. They had prepared so much, but until now, he hadn't even had a chance to introduce himself.
Ah well, I'll keep a low profile.
Yun Chuan calmly took out his storage bag and pulled out a Foundation Establishment Pill: "Here it comes, Fourth Brother, you're really lucky. That person just happened to have some left. I took it and rushed to deliver it to you."
As he spoke, he sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that my second and fourth brothers, you are both exceptionally talented and were able to break through smoothly with the pills, but this brother of mine from the main family is not so lucky."
Diao De'er was taken aback: "What's going on?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Chu'an recounted the lie he had prepared earlier to him in detail. Finally, he pulled "Mire" forward and said, "It's him. You two brothers should remember him, right? He's a good brother from my clan. He had resources and was preparing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but... sigh!"
He shook his head again and sighed. Diao De'er didn't remember this person at all, but he immediately understood what he meant. He patted his chest and said loudly, "Then what are we waiting for? Come on, come here! De'si, you go and arrange it. All of my blood pool share for this month is for Brother Mirei!"
Diao Desi responded but didn't leave. Yun Chu'an looked embarrassed and said, "This is so embarrassing... and besides, the Blood Pool, isn't this..."
Diao De'er said, "Brother, don't misunderstand. This 'Blood Pool' is just a name. In reality, it is made from a variety of rare and precious medicinal herbs, using my Huang Mang family's unique secret recipe. It is called 'Blood Pool' because of its viscous texture and bright red color like blood."
"Its main function is to heal and save lives. Because it is extremely precious, my brother and I only have a very small share available. But now, because of you, I have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. I will not lack blood pool resources for healing and soaking in the blood pool in the future. So you don't need to be polite with us. Just bring the Mirei brothers and go in!"
Yun Chu'an then reluctantly said, "Then, I'll accept it! Mi Lei, hurry up and thank your second and fourth brothers!"
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River was filled with extremely strange emotions, and he could barely contain himself. He forced out a grateful expression and bowed to the two snake demons in front of him, saying, "Thank you, Second Brother, Fourth Brother!"
Diao De'er waved his hand dismissively: "No need for so much formality, we're all brothers!"
"Hurry up, you two, don't delay and worsen your injuries!"
Yun Chu'an nodded and handed the Foundation Establishment Pill to Diao Desi, who happily ran off to make arrangements. He pulled the Wei River Dragon Prince along behind, winding his way into the depths of the cave, and pushed open a wooden door, arriving at a small cave.
In the middle of the cave, a pool was dug in the ground, filled with boiling water that was steaming. Diao Desi stood beside it, pouring a pre-mixed, crimson powder with a pungent odor into the pool. Soon, the entire pool turned crimson, became viscous, and emitted a strange smell, resembling blood.
Yun Chu'an glanced at the powder in Diao Desi's hand and began to think about whether there was any way to get the formula for the powder. Perhaps it could become a good best-selling product.
But that's all for later. Over there, Diao Desi put out the medicine, then turned around and urged, "What are you still standing there for? Brother Mi Lei, let's go down for a soak!"
This overly enthusiastic manner made the Dragon Prince of the Wei River extremely uncomfortable. The thought that he was a snake demon who intended to devour his flesh and blood made him even more nauseous.
Suppressing his nausea, Longzi unbuttoned his clothes and jumped into the blood pool, immersing himself completely in it. He then closed his eyes and began to heal his wounds.
Although the Yellow Python family does nothing good, they do have many valuable things hidden in their home, and this healing blood pool is one of them.
Thanks to it, many terrible injuries that even Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators would find difficult to withstand can be restored to their original state in a very short time, allowing those who are seriously injured to quickly recover their health and return to the battlefield.
Chapter 295 I'm investigating myself?
These injuries to the body and cultivation of the Wei River Dragon Prince were naturally easy to heal.
Weihe Longzi felt countless medicinal forces permeating his skin and entering his body. His spiritual energy cycle was being rebuilt, and the cultivation that had been forced to self-destruct in order to escape its shackles was being rapidly repaired and reconstructed.
Although it's still far from the combat power he could have at his peak, it at least gives him the ability to protect himself in a general sense!
Surprisingly, I can still use this kind of thing...
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He then closed his eyes and began meditating in the blood pool. On the shore, Yun Chu'an watched him with satisfaction and nodded gently.
Diao Desi was watching from the side, but he was extremely anxious. Seeing that everything was normal, he smiled and moved closer to Yun Chuan, saying, "Since you're here, I'll head back first. I've recently had some insights and am preparing to break through!"
Yun Chu'an smiled and nodded: "Alright, alright, your cultivation is the most important thing, go back quickly."
The snake demon hurriedly left, leaving him alone to accompany the Wei River Dragon Prince as he healed. Even though no one was around, he dared not lower his guard, maintaining his persona, and whispered to the dragon prince in the blood pool, "Brother Lei, how are you feeling? Did it help?"
The dragon prince in the blood pool opened his eyes. His heart was still pounding with tension, but his injuries were indeed healing. He looked at Yun Chu'an with grateful eyes: "It worked. Ah, don't call me Brother Lei anymore. Although I'm older than you, my cultivation level is already lower than yours."
"From now on, please call me Xiao Lei."
He said this, putting on a very humble act for outsiders to see.
Yun Chu'an chatted with him for a few more minutes, glancing outside out of the corner of his eye. A moment later, Diao De'er walked in and asked with a smile, "Brother Mi Lei, how exactly did you get injured?"
Yun Chu'an said, "Hey, don't even mention it. That day, he also took my Foundation Establishment Pill, and was preparing to break through, but then..."
He vividly fabricated a little story about how Mire found a secluded and quiet cave to prepare for a breakthrough, only to encounter a mysterious man in tattered clothes who wielded lightning magic with monstrous strength. Despite his best efforts, he could not defeat him and had to flee in a sorry state, barely managing to save his life.
Diao De'er was amused, but his expression gradually turned serious. Following Yun Chu'an's guidance, he naturally came to the conclusion: "Judging from this, it seems that the Mi Lei brothers were injured by the escaped Wei River Dragon Prince!"
In the pool of blood, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River wore a strange expression. "What kind of talk is this? I'm killing myself?"
Yun Chu'an chuckled inwardly, but his face was full of doubt: "Really? The Dragon Prince of the Wei River? Wasn't his cultivation sealed? How can he still have such powerful combat strength?"
Diao De'er shook his head: "Who knows? But since he was able to escape so suddenly, it means he definitely has some tricks up his sleeve that we don't know about. Ugh, this guy is really hateful. We have to find a way to bring him back!"
Yun Chu'an glanced at the dragon prince in the blood pool, gave him a reassuring look, and then said to Diao De'er, "Yes, we must find him quickly and make him pay for his blood debt!"
Who knows what blood debt the poor Weihe Dragon Prince owed the Huangmang family? But anyway, these words made Diao De'er very happy: "Yes, yes, the family is also making preparations, mobilizing manpower, preparing to gather more strength, and increase efforts to find him even if it means digging three feet into the ground!"
The Wei River Dragon Prince in the Blood Pool was so nervous he couldn't breathe, and Yun Chu'an's heart sank as he thought to himself, "This is troublesome."
He forced a smile, gave an awkward laugh, and then said, "Oh, that's great! Is there anything we can do for you?"
Diao De'er pondered for a moment, then muttered, "There really is one. Uh, you know about that matter, right?"
Yun Chu'an looked puzzled: "Which one?"
“The Black Bull Clan has made a move,” Diao De’er said. “Alas, misfortunes never come singly. The Zhao Kingdom’s revenge has come, the Jin Kingdom’s princess has arrived, and even the Black Bull Clan has produced a new Golden Core cultivator and gathered a group of followers, preparing to take revenge on my family.”
In the blood pool, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River was overjoyed upon hearing this, almost unable to suppress a smile. Yun Chu'an, with a serious expression and suppressing a laugh, nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, good fortune never comes in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. Fate has been far too unfair to your Yellow Python Clan!"
Diao De'er was delighted to hear this, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Yes, it just so happens that the Dragon Prince of the Wei River has run away at this critical juncture. The family can't actually spare that many people, and I'm afraid in the end we'll have to rely on supporters like your Tian Shu family to help us with some things."
What do you want us to do?
“Go and confront the scouts sent by the Black Bull family, and eliminate the spies they send this way,” Diao De’er said. “Or, on behalf of our Yellow Python family, dig three feet into the ground and find the Dragon Prince of the Wei River.”
Yun Chu'an glanced at the Dragon Prince of the Wei River out of the corner of his eye, then made a quick decision and said, "Let's choose the second one. It just so happens that Mi Lei has a grudge against the Dragon Prince of the Wei River! Second Brother, don't worry, we'll dig three feet into the ground and we'll definitely find that guy!"
Upon hearing this, Diao De'er burst into laughter: "Haha, afraid of dying, aren't you?"
Yun Chu'an smiled sheepishly: "Second brother, as you know, our family used to work for the Black Ox family, but now we're working for the Yellow Python family. He must hate us to death. If we met on the battlefield, wouldn't he beat us to a pulp?"
"In comparison, it would be safer for us to search for the whereabouts of the dragon's offspring in the Wei River."
He spoke as if he were speaking the truth from the bottom of his heart. Diao De'er nodded, deeply agreeing with this view: "That's right, brother, I understand. Let's do it your way. I'll prepare a set of clothes for you two later. You take a few little snake demons and go searching house to house!"
Yun Chu'an patted his chest and assured him, "No problem!"
In the blood pool, the Wei River Dragon Prince, still soaking in a medicinal bath, listened to the conversation between the two above, his face twisted and eerie.
Should I search for myself?
real or fake?
His mind was filled with strangeness, and a huge sense of absurdity overwhelmed him, leaving him speechless. He wanted to say something, but for a moment he couldn't say anything at all.
Diao De'er got up and went outside to prepare things for them. In the blood pool, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River finally couldn't help but speak, saying to Yun Chu'an, "Um, Master Mi, are we really going to... hunt down that Dragon Prince of the Wei River?"
His tone was full of disbelief, while Yun Chu'an nodded gently: "Of course, we promised to do it, so we have to keep our word."
As he said this, seeing the shock in Longzi's eyes, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Use your brain! The most dangerous place is often the safest place!"
He said this, and the Dragon Prince of the Wei River said no more. However, he still kept his head down, unable to accept this fact for the time being.
Outside the cave, Diao De'er re-entered, now carrying two armbands. By this time, the medicinal power in the blood pool had been almost completely absorbed, so Weihe Dragon Prince jumped out of the blood pool, went outside to put on his clothes, and began to breathe deeply. Although he was far from recovering to his peak strength, at least his injuries had healed by about 70-80%, and his cultivation would no longer be lost.
Diao De'er handed each of them an armband, gesturing for them to put it on, then asked with a smile, "You all know the rules of the search, right?"
Yun Chu'an looked puzzled: "What?"
"That's right, the search is just a pretext!" Diao De'er grinned slyly. "Brother, you're still too young. If you don't seize this opportunity and make a killing, how can you live up to our status and the power we have?"
Chapter 296 You can't do this just because I "took care" of your mother...
Yun Chu'an and Weihe Longzi put on their armbands, exchanged a glance, and exclaimed in unison, "Oh, so that's how it is! We understand now!"
The corners of his mouth were already brimming with an irrepressible smile.
They had a new plan, while at the same time, deep within the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, in another cave, the Green Snake Spirit Zou Min was hiding inside, secretly communicating with You Wensi telepathically through the mark You Wensi had left on her:
"Yes, yes, I know, I can see it too. The Yellow Python family won't have many good days left."
"I've also received news that the Zhao people have put the Huang Mang family's higher-ups on high alert, while the Black Bull family has already taken the lead and attacked first. This family probably won't last long, and there won't be much left to gain."
"I plan to run away secretly. The Black Bull family is eager for revenge, and they will definitely start fighting soon. When that happens, I will take the opportunity to take all the resources here and then escape."
