The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3344 - 3339: Acquiring the Prohibition and Refining the Elixir_1

Hearing those words, the Wind and Thunder Ghost King let out a booming laugh as well: "Without Brother Zhen Gong bringing it up, I nearly overlooked it entirely. Given the wounds afflicting Leaping Star Real Person, saving him would leave him as a cripple anyway, and without a century of recovery, he couldn't possibly heal soon. Hahaha, no need to fret, let's head back."

The Shaking Palace Ghost King agreed with a nod: "You're right, there's truly no cause for concern, yet Si Fang's demise remains a serious issue. Reporting it straight away would surely draw punishment from the superiors. Better to proceed carefully and hold off on the report until we track down the killer. That way, we'll have something to say in our defense."

"Exactly my thoughts as well," the Wind and Thunder Ghost King replied.

...

Following their talk with the Wind and Thunder Ghost King, Yang Chen along with the rest made their way back to the hiding spot of the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix.

As soon as they arrived, Heng Ye detected the shifts in their qi and rushed over to welcome them.

Because he hurried to greet the group, he noticed the large number returning, including the rescued Leaping Star Real Person, which left him stunned right away.

"Did everyone pull it off? Wonderful, my congratulations to all of you, and especially to Senior Leaping Star on his safe return." Heng Ye exclaimed one after another.

"This success owes everything to Brother Yang Chen. Had it not been for him, we couldn't have rescued Senior Leaping Star at all." Qian Li now fully grasped Yang Chen's immense worth, his speech utterly praising the man.

"Yang Chen?" Heng Ye gazed at Yang Chen with a swirl of feelings.

He knew full well about Yang Chen's power, yet never imagined that Yang Chen and Bao Lu would manage to rescue Leaping Star Real Person once they'd gone.

"Where's Fu... Fu Xuanbing?" Heng Ye swiftly scanned the crowd for his supporter, Fu Xuanbing, among the humans.

He required backing from the human side too. Without it, survival would be impossible.

Yet, his supporter was missing, filling him with unease.

A fellow cultivator on friendly terms with Heng Ye caught him searching and murmured a few words into his ear.

At those words, Heng Ye shuddered violently, grasping the situation at once. He glanced toward Yang Chen, his heart pounding fiercely.

Yang Chen proved utterly frightening!

Had Fu Xuanbing, his protector, really perished?

Ignoring Heng Ye completely, Yang Chen guided the sizable assembly into a palace, directed by Qian Li. Once inside, he turned his attention squarely to Leaping Star Real Person.

The wounds on Leaping Star Real Person hadn't eased yet, his form betraying agony that highlighted the gravity of his state. All along, he'd masked it through sheer stubborn resolve.

Leaping Star Real Person's suffering lay beyond the grasp of regular folk.

Being a skilled Dan Medical Master, Yang Chen could perceive portions of it somewhat.

"Yang Chen, are you truly able to mend my wounds?" Leaping Star Real Person inquired, stunned.

Rather than replying right away, Yang Chen first examined Leaping Star Real Person's injuries more thoroughly.

Earlier, his glance had been superficial, his assurances then just to soothe. But with this detailed check now, he felt at ease.

"Senior Leaping Star, have no doubts, this junior vows the remedy will work wonders. In roughly ten days, full recovery awaits you." Yang Chen assured him.

Leaping Star Real Person's expression shifted: "Such a marvel, truly?"

He understood these wounds demanded at least decades for any chance of mending, even aided by top Dan Physicians.

On his own without such aid, the timeline would stretch longer, nearing a full century.

Yang Chen responded, "Senior, simply observe and trust."

Regrettably, these ghostly Yin Spirits proved cunning, implanting restrictions within Leaping Star Real Person's form. Such restrictions intertwined with the potent venomous damages. Extracting them individually bordered on futility.

Shifting the restrictions would worsen the poisons and harms. Addressing the poisons and harms required dismantling the central restrictions first.

It resembled an interconnected snare, where disturbing one link could amplify the damage. That explained why even expert Dan Physicians required ages to unravel it.

Yet, against Yang Chen's spacetime prowess, every restriction formation fell flat.

His spacetime force pierced straight into Leaping Star Real Person's body, roaming briefly before enveloping each restriction site inside Leaping Star Real Person's frame.

Next, Yang Chen flicked his hand sharply.

Streams of azure light rays sprang forth instantly, materializing in Yang Chen's grasp.

Those azure rays slowly transformed into stacked rune tokens. Clearly, they represented the restrictions embedded in Leaping Star Real Person's body.

Having extracted these restrictions, Yang Chen grinned and queried, "Senior Leaping Star, what's your sensation like now?"

Leaping Star Real Person probed his body's wounds once more; while not hugely lessened, his physique flowed far more freely, allowing seamless command of the laws.

"Hahaha, to wield my laws once again—fascinating! Yang Chen, you've got real talent, kid. Those restrictions, you dismantled them in a flash." Leaping Star Real Person exclaimed in sheer shock.

Yang Chen grinned, "This junior's laws indeed suppress restrictions effectively. These were unique tactics from the Netherworld ghosts aimed at you, yet they crumble before my techniques."

"Your approach has genuinely broadened my horizons." Leaping Star Real Person grew increasingly delighted, now trusting over half of Yang Chen's earlier claims.

Before, he'd doubted Yang Chen's Dan Medical prowess by half, but presently, conviction in it surpassed that mark solidly.

Clearing these restrictions made the remaining wounds and venoms far simpler for Yang Chen to tackle.

The Netherworld ghosts possessed only basic knowledge of toxins, and damages inflicted on a Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouse couldn't prove overly dire.

Handling it came naturally easy to Yang Chen.

Following a brief probe, Yang Chen drew two elixirs from his storage and passed them to Leaping Star Real Person.

"Senior Leaping Star, kindly consume these two elixirs of mine initially. After ingesting them, your wounds will surely mend notably. For total restoration, though, I must craft a fresh set of elixirs. I lack around 10% of the ingredients for that recipe. I can supply the other 90%, but might your honored sect assist with the missing portion?" Yang Chen explained.

Though he'd gathered vast stores of ingredients from the Medicine Courtyard previously, certain scarce herbs and spiritual grasses remained perpetually in demand for crafting most elixirs.

But as an avid alchemist, Yang Chen constantly brewed all sorts of pills in his downtime, depleting his reserves rapidly. Thus, while his elixir hoard remained ample, raw materials dwindled steadily.

These days, preparing new batches often left him short on some components.
