“Ling Luo has come upon hearing the flute music. Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

“Fellow Daoist? No, no, no, I’m not a cultivator. I’m just an ordinary person. You can just call me Chen Xuan or Xiao Chen.”

Chen Xuan was very polite to the ancestor of the Medicine God Valley.

At the same time, he was also curious. Since the other party was the ancestor of a family business, her seniority should not be low. Rather, she should be a few generations older than Yan Jin, right?

However, looking at her appearance, she looked a little too young. She had the mature charm unique to women in their thirties, as well as the ethereal and refined air of a young girl. In terms of temperament, she was amazing.

“I heard that cultivators don’t age. Since she called me a fellow Daoist, she must be a cultivator. Her family is also in the medicinal herb business. Is that why she has a technique to keep her appearance young?” Chen Xuan guessed in his heart.

At the side, Yan Jin was looking at Celestial Ling Luo nervously.

“This is the ancestor of the Medicine God Valley, Celestial Ling Luo who ascended thousands of years ago. Now, she has returned to the mortal world and is standing in front of me and my master. Could it be that she is here because of the saint-level war?”

Celestial Ling Luo, who was being sized up, also looked at the two of them.

She didn’t pay much attention to Yan Jin.

However, when she looked at Chen Xuan, she couldn’t see through him no matter how hard she tried. Even when she used her spiritual eyes, she could only see that he was an ordinary person. However, the more so, the more it showed that the other party was not ordinary.

If he was an ordinary person, how could he possess the crane bone flute, Flying Jade?

If he was an ordinary person, how could he trigger the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth with just a flute tune?

The fact that the other party refused to admit that he was a cultivator meant that he was deliberately hiding his identity.

“Daoist Chen Xuan must be some expert from the celestial world. He must have come to the mortal world to cultivate in seclusion. Is that why he’s not willing to reveal his identity?” Celestial Ling Luo guessed.

Just as she was deep in thought, she heard Chen Xuan speak, “Are you here for your unruly junior disciples?”

Chen Xuan felt that it was better to probe the other party’s background first.

Ling Luo was stunned. It seemed that the fellow Daoist in front of her wasn’t very satisfied with her descendants. Considering the situation of this fellow Daoist sending out a group of mortal celestials to encircle and annihilate her descendants, she immediately said regretfully, “I left behind the Medicine King Cauldron and an ancestral recipe to leave an opportunity for my descendants, but I didn’t expect them to have endless internal disputes for these two treasures. They even killed each other. It’s really a pity.”

When Chen Xuan heard this, he nodded slightly.

This ancestor’s attitude was not bad.

She was not like the two who had come here the first time and had unreasonably demanded things as soon as they arrived.

“I didn’t see the Medicine King Cauldron, but there’s really nothing to fight for about your ancestral recipe. To be honest, I have some insights into the Dao of medicine, and I’ve made some improvements to your ancestral recipe,” Chen Xuan waved his hand at Yan Jin, “Yan Jin, show the ancestral recipe to your ancestor.”

“Yes.”

Yan Jin quickly handed over the Medicine God Valley’s celestial recipe.

It was a piece of vellum.

When Ling Luo took it and read it, she almost fainted.

“This… Is this still the medicinal recipe I left behind?”

There were many beautifully written words in a small font on the paper, her handwriting. Next to the small words, annotations were written in a cursive font, and some medicinal herbs were crossed out.

After the medicinal recipe was altered, there was actually a faint feeling of it being naturally formed by the Great Dao.

Above the flamboyant words, a huge Great Dao true dragon flew out and circled in the air. Upon closer inspection, the body of the Great Dao true dragon was made up of tiny characters.

With the morphing of the Great Dao, the characters were quickly forming different medicinal recipes.

“This… How is this still a medicinal recipe? This is clearly a heavenly book.”

“This is a heavenly book that contains the morphing of the Great Dao and can continuously deduce new medicinal recipes! To be able to casually change a medicinal recipe into a heavenly book… This fellow Daoist must be a powerful existence even in the celestial world.”

Ling Luo was shocked.

Her hands holding the medicinal recipe were trembling.

In the celestial world, she could be considered a well-known figure with a foothold. In the boundless celestial world, what kind of storms had she not seen? But now, she was actually nervous and didn’t want to let go of the medicinal recipe.

Even though she knew it was inappropriate, she still couldn’t help but say, “This, this, this medicinal recipe… Can you return it to me?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that Chen Xuan’s expression had turned cold.

“I’m willing to trade with treasures,” She immediately changed his words.

Although this medicinal recipe was once hers, after being modified by this mysterious expert in front of her, the medicinal recipe had changed completely.

Under the morphing of the Great Dao, new medicinal recipes were constantly being produced. Her original medicinal recipe was only one of them. If she insisted on saying that the recipe was related to her, the remaining string of relation was that the paper was hers.

“I originally thought that you would be an open-minded person. I didn’t expect you to be the same. Since I’ve already changed this medicinal recipe, it has little to do with you. Now, I’ve given this medicinal recipe to my disciple. If you want it, you can discuss it with her.”

Sighing, Chen Xuan shook his head and returned to his room.

After he left, Celestial Ling Luo could no longer care about her image as a celestial. She looked at Yan Li with a slightly fawning expression and asked, “Did I make that senior unhappy just now?”

“Ancestor, I…” Yan Jin had been living in the Medicine God Valley since she was a child. She had followed the elders to worship the ancestor’s portrait ever since she was born. Her respect for Ling Luo was deeply engraved in her bones.

Now that she was facing Ling Luo, she felt great pressure.

“Since you’ve already become a disciple of that senior, I’m no longer your ancestor. Instead, let’s discuss something else,” Ling Luo said politely.

As she said that, Ling Luo waved her hand.

Heaven and earth split open, and a celestial sword that glinted with cold light appeared in the void.

“This sword is called Frost Snow,” Ling Luo said, “It’s an upper-grade celestial artifact. I’ll use this celestial-grade magic item to exchange for this medicinal recipe. What do you think?”

“I…” Yan Jin was at a loss for words.

To think the ancestor she had worshipped since young was speaking to her in such a friendly manner and making a deal with her.

Since when did she have such weight?

“No, it’s not me who has such weight. It’s master, it’s master’s medicinal recipe,” Yan Jin unconsciously clutched the medicinal recipe.

Seeing this, Ling Luo steeled herself and said, “The Medicine King Cauldron I left in the sect was incomplete. After I entered the celestial world, I forged another medicine cauldron. This cauldron is called the Seven Extremes Cauldron. It has seven unique effects, such as reducing the loss of medicinal herbs, increasing the success rate of refining medicinal pills, saving the firepower of refining medicine, saving the number of medicinal herbs used, and other effects. I’ll exchange the medicinal recipe with this cauldron. How about it?”

As a pharmacist, Ling Luo believed that no one would reject such a celestial cauldron.

As expected, Yan Jin was tempted.

Ling Luo continued, “Although the medicinal recipe is good, the recipes on it are all derived from the Great Dao. A medicinal recipe of this grade has not been verified. If you simply try it out and the cauldron explodes, you won’t be able to withstand it with your current strength. Besides, you’re learning from that master now. He’s your best medicinal recipe… What can be more direct than his personal teaching?”

Celestial Ling Luo persuaded Yan Jin.

Yan Jin was moved by her words, but she still held the medicinal recipe and said, “I have another request.”

“Say it.”

Celestial Ling Luo secretly made up her mind. No matter what, she had to get this medicinal recipe.
