"[Enlightenment Pill] is truly extraordinary. In just three days, it helped me to comprehend the complex text of the 'Wordless Medical Classic,' saving me at least several years of accumulation and laying a solid medical foundation for myself."
"At this moment, in terms of medical skills alone, I am afraid that I have already surpassed Lin Xiao, the protagonist of the divine doctor. After all, Lin Xiao is only a fourth-rank warrior. The content unlocked by the spiritual imprint of the 'Wordless Medical Scripture' in his mind is not as much as the 'original' in my hands."
"What a pity. If only we had more Enlightenment Pills. Such divine objects would be excellent tools for cultivating techniques and breaking through realms."
Chen Beiyuan's naturally handsome and noble face now showed signs of weariness as he muttered to himself.
After three days and three nights of continuous, sleepless meditation, even though Chen Beiyuan's physique far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, the mental strain left him feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
He put away the [Wordless Medical Scripture] in his hand, then took out a jet-black pill from the white jade medicine bottle and swallowed it directly.
The potent medicinal properties surged wildly through his body, rapidly restoring his physical fatigue and mental exhaustion.
This jet-black pill is called the [Demon Heart Pill], a special pill derived from the [Wordless Medical Classic].
It has great restorative benefits for those who practice demonic arts, allowing them to quickly recover to their peak condition within a short period of time.
When Chen Beiyuan discovered that the effects of this special pill were far superior to the "Demon Flame Pill" that his family had specially supplied him, he decisively abandoned the pills supplied by his family and replaced them with [Demon Heart Pill] for all his daily needs.
It must be said that the [Wordless Medical Scripture], as the biggest cheat code for the protagonist Lin Xiao, a divine doctor, is full of hidden auxiliary methods. It not only contains healing techniques to save lives, poison techniques to harm others, but also alchemy techniques to aid cultivation...
It can be said to be all-encompassing and full of wonders!
Chen Beiyuan dared to say that it would not be an exaggeration to call this kind of bizarre medical book the most extraordinary book in the world.
"System, open the properties panel!"
[Ding! The attribute panel is now open!]
[Host: Chen Beiyuan]
[Age: 18]
[Cultivation Level: High-level Battle Commander (Rank 5)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Demon Suppression Scripture (Level 8), Wordless Medical Scripture (Unique)]
[Combat Techniques: Forbidden Demon Flame Palm, Forbidden Demon Prison Fist, Forbidden Demon Blood Slash, Prison Shackles,...]
[Battle Spirit:???]
[Destiny: Fated to be the Great Villain]
After three days of study, the wordless medical manual appeared directly on the cultivation method list, indicating that Chen Beiyuan had entered the inner sanctum and successfully mastered it.
"It's time to go to Donghua University; that's my reward!"
After quickly washing up, Chen Beiyuan opened the door and prepared to leave.
But just as he stepped out, he was suddenly stunned and saw that the one-armed Old Chen was holding a broken knife and waiting outside the door.
Beside Old Chen stood a tall, robust middle-aged figure.
"dad!"
Chen Beiyuan called out.
The middle-aged man in front of them was none other than Chen Beiyuan's father.
The current head of the Donghua Chen family,
The military leader of the Third War Zone of the Empire.
Chen Zheqing.
(Both the First and Second War Zones are directly controlled by the Imperial Family.)
This new generation of military leaders in the Donghua Empire was dressed in simple civilian clothes and looked like a handsome middle-aged man.
He wasn't as unsmiling and aloof as people might imagine.
"You've made it out of quarantine?"
Chen Zheqing looked his son up and down as he emerged from seclusion. After confirming that his son possessed the cultivation level of a high-ranking fifth-grade battle general, he couldn't help but nod, a gratified smile appearing on his face.
"Before you went into seclusion, you asked your family to help you find suitable guardian puppets and guardian pets. Your family did find some, but most of them were not quite right. Since there have been many visitors these past few days, I have asked the Bai and Wei families to help with the search. I expect to hear from them soon."
Chen Beiyuan was taken aback, not expecting his father, Chen Zheqing, to be so concerned about this matter.
The Bai family! The Wei family!
Both of these families are top-tier clans in the empire, possessing the power of an eighth-rank War Emperor to suppress their fortune!
The Bai family of Donghua is the family behind Chen Beiyuan's fiancée. They are famous for their special "beast taming" techniques and are even known as the "Beast Taming Family" within the empire.
The Wei family is the most low-profile top family in the empire. Most of the time, they are like invisible people, but no one dares to underestimate this family.
Because the Wei family's greatest expertise lies in the art of "puppetry".
Chen Beiyuan knew very well that, despite Chen Zheqing's casual remark, getting these two families to help was not easy and would definitely require spending some favors and benefits.
There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Even though the Bai family and the Chen family are engaged, some necessary interests still need to be clearly calculated.
Although his father, Chen Zheqing, said that the "things" the family found were a bit lacking, Chen Beiyuan was certain that the level of those "things" was definitely no lower than that of a sixth-grade Battle King.
The reason they didn't give it to him directly, but instead chose to ask two other top families for help.
It's simply because a father always tries his best to give his children the best.
Chen Beiyuan fell silent.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the silent care and support from his family.
It should be noted that even within those top-tier families, conflicts of interest are commonplace, and it is not uncommon for them to turn against each other at the slightest disagreement.
But what the Chen family of Donghua gave him most was family affection.
This top-tier family, which was tragically wiped out in the original story, is probably the only one that values family ties more than interests.
In the original story, no matter what choice the original owner made, the Chen family always chose to offer silent support and backing.
Even when the Chen family was about to be destroyed, Chen Zheqing chose to send the original owner away, leaving himself to bear the greatest pressure alone.
Suddenly, a deep look appeared in Chen Beiyuan's eyes, as if he had made a decision.
Now that he has arrived, everything that was destined to happen will no longer exist.
"Alright, I know you still have to go to Donghua Academy, so I'll stop talking now!"
"However, there is something else I need to tell you. The younger generation of 'monsters' from various families in the empire are returning one after another, obviously targeting you. The Chen family is not in a position to intervene in matters concerning the younger generation; you will have to handle it yourself."
"Also, that little girl from the Bai family, your fiancée should be back soon."
"According to your mother, you two should get married as soon as possible. She's still hoping to have a grandchild. However, I have reservations about this. After all, you've only just turned eighteen. There's no need to rush into the 'grave of marriage.' You can enjoy yourself for a few more years..."
Chen Zheqing kept talking on and on.
Regarding the things that happened between Chen Beiyuan and Leng Ruobing before.
The head of the Chen family didn't even mention it.
This is nothing!
Who hasn't been young?
Who in the entire city of Yanjing doesn't know this?
The Bai family of Donghua and Chen Beiyuan's fiancée both knew of Leng Ruobing's existence.
So what!
Who cares?!
