Chapter 664: Chapter 663: Grade Six Array Master!
Luo Yang found it impossible to believe Lin Xuan could save their Medicine King Valley. To do so, one would need an Anomalous Fire.
Does Lin Xuan have an Anomalous Fire? I don’t think so. After all, Anomalous Fire is incredibly precious. Throughout the entire Sacred Institute, only Li Yunfeng possesses one. How could Lin Xuan possibly have an Anomalous Fire?
He shook his head and said, "Young Master Lin, you must be joking."
"I’m not joking," Lin Xuan stated seriously.
Luo Yang was stunned. "You mean you really have an Anomalous Fire?"
Lin Xuan nodded. "That’s right. I really do."
Luo Yang didn’t believe him in the slightest. He was about to say more, but Lin Xuan simply flipped his hand, and a flame appeared in his palm.
He possessed two Anomalous Fires: the Ninth Heaven Mysterious Fire and the Qinglian Earthfire. Both of these were yang-attribute flames. In fact, the vast majority of flames were yang-attribute; yin-attribute flames were exceedingly rare. Li Yunfeng’s Beiming Fire, for example, was a very uncommon yin-attribute Anomalous Fire.
Therefore, regardless of which Anomalous Fire Lin Xuan summoned, he could suppress the Yin Pulse. At this moment, a Green Lotus flame bloomed in his palm, and a scorching aura swept out.
Luo Yang had been skeptical, but the moment he felt the flame, his body trembled. His eyes went wide as he stared intently at the fire, exclaiming, "This! This is...?"
"Could this be...?"
"That’s right!" Lin Xuan nodded. "This is an Anomalous Fire."
Luo Yang gasped, then leaped to his feet. He roared with excitement, "Hahaha! This is wonderful! Heaven has not forsaken our Medicine King Valley!"
He was absolutely ecstatic. He had never imagined that Lin Xuan would actually possess an Anomalous Fire.
This meant he could actually suppress the Yin Pulse and save their Medicine King Valley! This was fantastic news!
Looking at Lin Xuan, he was overcome with excitement. "Young Master Lin, I beg you, you must save our Medicine King Valley!"
Lin Xuan withdrew the Qinglian Earthfire, smiling as he nodded. "You don’t need to worry. I will certainly help you."
Luo Yang nodded vigorously. "Right! Let me take you to see the Valley Master. This good news must be shared with him immediately!"
「On the other side.」
Inside a grand hall, the Valley Master paced back and forth anxiously. He looked at the middle-aged man sitting nearby. "Fellow Cultivator Tianhai, is there really no other way?"
This middle-aged man in a blue robe was Celestial Sea King. He was not only a King but also a formidable Array Master. Ever since the Medicine King Valley Master learned that the Yin Pulse could no longer be suppressed, he had sought out many solutions. He first approached numerous Alchemy Masters, hoping to use their flames to suppress it, only to find it was impossible. The flames of these Alchemy Masters were simply too weak; only an Anomalous Fire would suffice.
But an Anomalous Fire? Besides Li Yunfeng, who else had one? And Li Yunfeng had already acted recently; he wouldn’t be able to help again so soon.
So, he could only turn to Array Masters for help. This Celestial Sea King was a top-tier Array Master. He was a sixth-grade Array Master, a level typically only achieved by Martial Emperors. For Celestial Sea King to become a sixth-grade Array Master while only at the King Realm, his proficiency in arrays was clearly extraordinary.
Celestial Sea King shook his head and said, "I’ve investigated the Medicine King Valley’s situation, and there is indeed no other way.
"If this had been a hundred years ago, the Yin Pulse underground could still have been suppressed.
"But now, the Yin Pulse has grown too powerful and cannot be contained at all.
"So, my suggestion is to relocate.
"Leave this valley, find a new place, and rebuild the Medicine King Valley.
"That is the best solution."
The Valley Master’s expression turned incredibly grim upon hearing this. The Medicine King Valley had been situated here for several thousand years, and now they had to relocate. He was truly unwilling. But if they didn’t leave, what could they do? If they delayed any longer, the Yin Pulse would erupt, and the Medicine King Valley would be reduced to ashes, wiped from existence.
The Valley Master sighed. Finding another place suitable for cultivating Spirit Medicines would not be easy. The best spot on this entire Divine Mist Mountain was this valley. Cultivating Spirit Medicines anywhere else would likely result in greatly diminished efficacy.
Celestial Sea King said, "Valley Master, hesitate no longer. Have you not noticed that the Spirit Medicines are already beginning to wither? If you don’t leave now, all the Spirit Medicines will die completely, and the Medicine King Valley will cease to exist."
The Valley Master sighed again. "It seems our only choice is to leave this place and rebuild the Medicine King Valley elsewhere."
But just then, a voice rang out from outside the hall. "There’s no need to move. I can save the Medicine King Valley."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was startled. The Valley Master turned his head in astonishment. He then saw a handsome young man walking in, with none other than Luo Yang following beside him.
"Who is this person?" many of the elders wondered, looking at Lin Xuan in surprise. They didn’t recognize him.
An elder of the Medicine King Valley stood up and barked coldly, "Who are you to dare cause a disturbance here? Guards, throw him out!"
The guards outside rushed in, ready to seize Lin Xuan, but the Valley Master waved his hand, stopping them. He recognized Lin Xuan.
But hadn’t Lin Xuan already left? Why has he returned?
He looked at Lin Xuan and asked, "What do you mean by that? You have a way to save the Medicine King Valley?"
"Of course," Lin Xuan said with a smile.
His words caused an uproar. Many of the elders frowned.
How could a young man have a solution when they, after trying so many methods, had failed? What a joke.
Celestial Sea King glanced at Lin Xuan with disdain. In his eyes, a mere Grandmaster was no different from an ant. If even he had no solution, how could this youth possibly have one?
"What is your method?" the Valley Master asked quickly.
Lin Xuan smiled. "Naturally, I’ll use an Anomalous Fire to suppress the Yin Pulse."
Hearing this, the Valley Master’s face filled with disappointment. Of course he knew an Anomalous Fire could suppress the Yin Pulse! The problem was, where was he supposed to find one? He had held a sliver of hope for Lin Xuan, but now, it was completely gone.
He waved his hand at Luo Yang and said, "Escort Young Master Lin out!"
However, Luo Yang didn’t move. Instead, he looked at the Valley Master and insisted, "Master, Young Master Lin truly does have a way!"
"Nonsense!" The Valley Master’s face darkened as he glared at Luo Yang. It was one thing for Lin Xuan to be arrogant and ignorant, but why are you joining in his foolishness? "Get Young Master Lin out of here at once, or you’ll be punished according to the clan rules!"
Luo Yang trembled in fear, but Lin Xuan spoke up beside him. "I really can save the Medicine King Valley. Moreover, I believe that besides myself, no one else can."
"Such arrogant words!" Celestial Sea King could listen no more. A mere Grandmaster dared to boast so wildly? How ridiculous!
He looked at Lin Xuan and challenged, "Then tell us, how do you plan to save the Medicine King Valley?"
"With an Anomalous Fire, of course," Lin Xuan replied.
Celestial Sea King laughed. "Using an Anomalous Fire to suppress the underground Yin Pulse—who doesn’t know that? The hard part is finding an Anomalous Fire. Don’t tell me you can find one? Don’t tell me... you possess an Anomalous Fire?"
The other elders also shook their heads. Anomalous Fire was incredibly precious; how could this boy possibly possess one?
