Chapter 666: Chapter 665: Sealing! Yin Vein!
The people of Medicine King Valley were in utter despair, but the Celestial Sea King sneered. "Originally, this Yin Vein wouldn’t have erupted so soon. It should have been a few more months," he said. "However, this kid used his Anomalous Fire and angered the Yin Serpent within the Yin Vein, causing it to erupt prematurely."
Upon hearing this, the Valley Master hurriedly looked at the Celestial Sea King and asked, "Do you have a way? Please, lend us your aid. As long as you can suppress this Yin Vein and delay its eruption, it will give us time to move all the Spirit Medicine out of the valley. We are willing to reward you generously."
"It’s useless." The Celestial Sea King shook his head. "If you had listened to my suggestion and relocated from the start, there would have been time to move all the Spirit Medicine. But now it’s too late. The Yin Vein has already erupted. No one can suppress it, not even me."
How could this be? The Valley Master fell into despair.
The Celestial Sea King said, "If you ask me, you never should have trusted this kid. So what if he has Anomalous Fire? He’s just a mere Four-Star Grandmaster. How much of its power can he even wield? Suppress the Yin Vein with that? What a joke!"
The Celestial Sea King gloated over their misfortune. He was still incredibly displeased after being humiliated by Lin Xuan earlier. Now that Lin Xuan had failed, he couldn’t be happier.
Once all the Spirit Medicine in Medicine King Valley withers, the valley’s members will surely go mad. They definitely won’t let this kid off the hook. I’ll watch with my own eyes as the people of Medicine King Valley kill him.
Lin Xuan was also surprised. He hadn’t expected the Yin Vein to be so powerful that it had already formed a Serpent. But so what? It’s just a mere Serpent. What can it do to me? I am a Dragon Warrior. I cultivate True Dragon Power and possess two genuine Dragon Souls. Suppressing this Serpent will be a piece of cake.
He said, "You don’t need to worry. It’s just a mere Serpent. For me, suppressing it will be a piece of cake."
"Really?" The Valley Master and the others were filled with doubt and suspicion upon hearing his words.
The Celestial Sea King, however, burst out laughing. "You think you can suppress the Serpent? What a joke! Your Anomalous Fire can only suppress a Yin Vein, not a Serpent. Unless you possess True Dragon Power, you can’t suppress it. But that is the power of the Dragon Race. For a human to master it, they would have to be one of the legendary Dragon Warriors. Are you a Dragon Warrior? Do you have True Dragon Power? If not, what will you use to suppress the Serpent?"
At these words, the Valley Master despaired, and the surrounding elders sighed in resignation.
The path of the Dragon Warrior was severed long ago. A Dragon Warrior hasn’t appeared in over a thousand years. How could this kid possibly be one? It’s over. No one can suppress the Yin Serpent. All the Spirit Medicine in our valley is going to wither. The blow is too great. From this day forward, Medicine King Valley is doomed to decline.
The Valley Master’s mind went blank, as if he had been struck by lightning. Has the thousands-of-years-old legacy of Medicine King Valley truly going to turn to dust in my hands? How could it have come to this? He was filled with regret and despair.
At that moment, Lin Xuan said, "What a coincidence. I happen to be a Dragon Warrior, so I naturally possess True Dragon Power."
"Utter nonsense! How could you possibly be a Dragon Warrior?" The Celestial Sea King didn’t believe him. The Valley Master didn’t believe him. No one believed him. There were no more Dragon Warriors in this world.
"And what if I am a Dragon Warrior?" Lin Xuan retorted.
The Celestial Sea King laughed loudly. "If you’re a Dragon Warrior, I’ll be your servant for three years."
"Are you serious?"
"This King’s word is final!"
"Good. Then open your eyes wide and see if I am a Dragon Warrior or not."
Lin Xuan prepared to use the full power of his Ten Thousand Dragons Body.
BOOM!
The entire Medicine King Valley began to shake violently once more.
The elders exclaimed, "Valley Master, we must leave! If we don’t go now, we’ll be turned to dust along with the valley!"
"Yes, Valley Master! ’As long as the green mountains are there, one need not worry about firewood.’ As long as we are alive, there’s still a chance to rebuild Medicine King Valley!"
"All of you, go. I’m not leaving." The Valley Master shook his head. "Medicine King Valley was ruined in my hands. I have no face to continue living. I will turn to ash with Medicine King Valley. Don’t worry about me." With that, the Valley Master closed his eyes.
Seeing this, the Celestial Sea King shook his head slightly. He was preparing to leave; he had no intention of staying here to die. Just as he was about to turn, he suddenly saw Lin Xuan make another move. He froze.
What is with this kid? He’s not leaving? He’s actually going to fight? It’s one thing to boast, but you really dare to act? Aren’t you afraid of being turned to dust?
ROAR!
Suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar erupted from ahead. The sound echoed through the world, startling everyone.
The Celestial Sea King’s eyes went wide as saucers, his face a mask of disbelief as if he’d seen a ghost. The elders of Medicine King Valley all looked up, then froze one by one in astonishment. Luo Yang was also stunned.
Hearing the roar, the Valley Master opened his eyes. Staring at the scene before him, he felt as if he were in a dream. Heavens, what am I seeing?
Scales erupted all over Lin Xuan’s body. His figure rapidly expanded, transforming into a ten-meter-tall giant. Dragon Horns sprouted from his forehead, a tail emerged from his back, and his entire being resembled a humanoid dragon! His hands morphed into Dragon Claws, which he slammed viciously toward the ground.
CRASH!
The earth was torn open, and the Serpent of the Yin Vein below was instantly suppressed. The Yin Vein’s Serpent roared wildly, but it was completely powerless before that single palm strike. The entire crowd was shocked. At that moment, both the Celestial Sea King and the Valley Master were completely stunned.
Lin Xuan seized the opportunity to activate the power of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, swiftly sealing the Yin Vein underground. Soon, the power of the Yin Vein rapidly receded, and the Serpent was beaten to within an inch of its life. Before long, Lin Xuan retracted his palm, a smile playing on his lips. "Done. The seal is complete."
The crowd was in shock. Everyone was dumbfounded. Staring at the scene before them, they felt as if they were in a dream.
"Heavens, what did I just see?"
"That terrifying Serpent of the Yin Vein was suppressed with a single palm strike!"
"This Lin Xuan actually possesses such power!"
"Damn, how did he transform into a humanoid true dragon?"
"Could it be... he really is a Dragon Warrior?"
It’s been over a thousand years since a Dragon Warrior appeared in this world, yet now, another has emerged? This is unbelievable! This is simply heaven-defying!
So Young Master Lin wasn’t just boasting! Everything he said was true! At this moment, the elders and disciples of Medicine King Valley were all going wild with excitement!
"This is wonderful! We’re saved! Medicine King Valley is saved!" the Valley Master exclaimed, tears of joy streaming down his aged face.
Just moments ago, he had been utterly desperate, ready to perish with Medicine King Valley. He never expected Lin Xuan to turn the tide against all odds, completely reversing the situation and saving Medicine King Valley! It was truly incredible.
As for the Celestial Sea King, he was shocked speechless. All this time, he had considered Lin Xuan a mere ant, someone beneath his notice. Even when Lin Xuan had revealed his Anomalous Fire and shocked him, he still didn’t believe the boy could suppress the Yin Vein. Especially when he discovered that the Yin Vein had coalesced into a Serpent, he was certain that Lin Xuan had failed. He believed that no one in heaven or on earth could save Medicine King Valley.
But what was the result? He was ruthlessly proven wrong. Lin Xuan had actually succeeded in suppressing the Yin Vein! This kid is the legendary Dragon Warrior! This is unbelievable! How can this guy be so heaven-defying?!
Ahead, Lin Xuan turned his head toward the Valley Master and said, "Are there any other places in Medicine King Valley where the yin energy is particularly heavy? Tell me, and I will seal them all at once."
The Valley Master nodded quickly and led Lin Xuan to other locations in the valley. With each move, Lin Xuan laid down another flame seal. Finally, the Yin Veins beneath Medicine King Valley were completely suppressed. Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. His form flickered, and he transformed from the ten-meter-tall dragon back to his normal human size.
"It’s finally taken care of!" Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Beside him, the Valley Master looked ready to kneel before Lin Xuan. He said, "Young Master Lin, from this day forward, you are the great benefactor of Medicine King Valley. If you have any orders in the future, just say the word. We of Medicine King Valley will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire for you without hesitation."
"Thank you for your help, Young Master Lin! We will never forget this immense kindness!" the surrounding elders said, bowing deeply in gratitude.
Luo Yang was even more emotional. "Young Master Lin, from now on, you are my benefactor—a benefactor for life!"
Even the Celestial Sea King walked over. He gave a bitter smile and said, "This old man was truly blind not to recognize how extraordinary you are, Young Master. I have offended you previously. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
The Celestial Sea King, a powerful Sixth-Rank Array Master, was so shaken that he had even come over to apologize.
"Everyone, you are too kind. I was just lucky to succeed," Lin Xuan said with a smile. Then, he looked toward the Celestial Sea King. "Celestial Sea King, it is time to fulfill your promise. Be my servant for three years."
As soon as he said this, the entire crowd was stunned. All eyes turned to the Celestial Sea King. Will he willingly become a servant?
