Chapter 83: Small, Small Pattern

Shangguan Zhuo arrived at the Xu Family, following the location given by Xu Qingzhou.

To ensure maximum secrecy, Xu Luo, who had been waiting at the back door, led Shangguan Zhuo to a secluded small courtyard.

Once Lan Ying was cured, the two of them would live here.

Only Xu Qingzhou and Xu Luo were in the courtyard when Shangguan Zhuo eagerly asked.

"May I ask what method the two of you have to treat my wife?"

Xu Qingzhou looked at Xu Luo.

Xu Luo stepped forward.

"To be honest, I have a Master who comes from outside the Three Great Dynasties. I found a method to treat your wife in the ancient texts he gave me."

"The problem with your wife is the need to repair her Inner Core and restore her Divine Soul."

"I have a secret technique that, when Cultivated to the highest Realm, has a 100% chance of repairing the Inner Core, but this secret technique is a bit difficult."

Shangguan Zhuo quickly said, "If you think it will delay your time, you can let me Cultivate it. I believe my talent and Comprehension Ability are quite good."

His claim of having decent talent and Comprehension Ability was already a humble one, as in the decades since his emergence, he had always been a Prodigy who crushed all others.

Xu Luo shook his head, "Your Comprehension Ability is not enough. You are still far from being able to Cultivate it to the highest Realm in a short time."

"Hmm? I'm not good enough?" Shangguan Zhuo was stunned. He didn't expect that his humble statement would be taken seriously by the other party.

If his own talent wasn't good enough, he wondered how many people within the Three Great Dynasties could be considered good enough.

Could it be that there was no such secret technique at all, and he was being played?

"Then who can?" Shangguan Zhuo asked.

He had a good temper, and even at this point, he remained emotionally stable.

Xu Luo said, "My younger cousin, he'll be here soon."

In fact, Xu Luo himself or with Shangguan Zhuo's help could also treat Lan Ying, but it would take too long and be very inefficient. He didn't want to spend too much time on this.

If he cooperated with Xu Muge, it would be much faster, and getting it done sooner would allow him to attend to other matters earlier.

Shangguan Zhuo remained silent. He wanted to see if this person, whose talent and Comprehension Ability were supposedly much better than his own, truly existed.

Xu Luo then continued, "Additionally, restoring your wife's Divine Soul is actually relatively easier. We just need to find some raw Materials, and I can formulate a Soul Nourishing Liquid."

Methods for restoring the Divine Soul are rare in small places like the Three Great Dynasties, almost non-existent.

However, Xu Luo, who was proficient in the Dao of Alchemy in his previous life, had mastered some, and among them, the Soul Nourishing Liquid was the most suitable.

Of course, there were some even better Medicinal Pills, but Xu Luo's Cultivation was limited, so he couldn't refine them for now.

"Soul Nourishing Liquid? Why haven't I heard of it?" Shangguan Zhuo appeared unworldly, but in reality, it was the Three Great Dynasties that limited his horizons.

Xu Luo casually replied, "This is a medicinal liquid recorded in ancient texts, with miraculous effects for restoring the Divine Soul."

Shangguan Zhuo was speechless, regretting for the first time his lack of reading.

Just then, Xu Muge arrived, walking into the courtyard with a familiar demeanor.

"Oh, Uncle is here too. And who is this beside you?"

Xu Luo had called him, but hadn't said what for. Now, he briefly explained the situation to him.

As Xu Muge listened to the story, Shangguan Zhuo also scrutinized him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't discern Xu Muge's Physique, only that he was young, had high Cultivation, and a solid foundation. But this didn't necessarily mean his talent and Comprehension Ability were much greater than his own, did it?

Even Su Xin of the Heavenly Palace Realm couldn't discern it back then, so how could he?

After listening, Xu Muge replied, "This is good news! Where's the secret technique? I'll Cultivate it now."

Xu Luo took out a prepared Jade Slip and handed it to him.

Xu Muge took the Jade Slip and began to read it. After about a quarter of an hour, he came back to his senses.

"It is indeed a bit difficult. It will probably take two or three months to Cultivate."

Xu Luo had also Cultivated this secret technique in his previous life, but he hadn't reached the highest Realm. If he were to Cultivate it again in this life, it would still take some time to reach the highest Realm.

Hearing this, Xu Qingzhou sighed, "That is indeed quite difficult. You should just take it back to the Sect and Cultivate it."

Everyone who knew his Comprehension Ability understood that if it took him two or three months, others might not be able to do it in twenty or thirty years, or even a hundred years if their Comprehension Ability was worse.

"Okay, then I'll head back," Xu Muge said, taking the Jade Slip and leaving.

After Lan Ying was cured, Shangguan Zhuo would be considered one of their own and would eventually witness the power of the Heavenly Genius Xu. Therefore, seeing his current look of confusion and doubt,

Xu Qingzhou casually said, "When this kid was still in the Qi Refining Realm, he could grasp a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique in half an hour."

"Ah?"

Shangguan Zhuo's face showed an expression of disbelief. At this moment, the expert of Nascent Soul Realm Perfection, a former generation's Prodigy, was also dumbfounded.

He had truly never heard of such a Prodigy existing.

If he was that powerful, then his talent and Comprehension Ability were indeed much stronger than his own.

But was this true?

Xu Luo smiled and took out another identical Jade Slip.

"He can Cultivate it to the highest Realm in half a month. You can take a look and then think about how long it would take you to do the same."

Shangguan Zhuo accepted the secret technique with skepticism and began to read it. He also read for about a quarter of an hour.

While he could confirm that it was indeed a secret technique for repairing the Inner Core, he was completely bewildered and didn't know where to start.

So he could only give an awkward smile.

"With such a Prodigy in the Xu Family, it will surely become famous throughout Great Qi in the future."

Xu Qingzhou and Xu Luo smiled, saying nothing.

Too small, the scope was too small.

The Xu Family's goal was to become a dominant power in the Tian Yuan World!

It wasn't that they didn't have higher goals, it was mainly that they didn't know where the higher places were.

And the reason they allowed Shangguan Zhuo to witness Xu Muge's powerful talent was also for a purpose.

It was to make Shangguan Zhuo believe that the Xu Family had a promising future, and then to keep him in the Xu Family forever, serving the Xu Family.

Shangguan Zhuo came back to his senses and asked again, "What Materials do you need for the Soul Nourishing Liquid you mentioned?"

"The auxiliary Materials are not difficult to find, mainly three main Materials: Ghostly Water, Turbid Heart Grass, and Seven-Leaf Divine Crossing Flower," Xu Luo replied.

Shangguan Zhuo was momentarily speechless. He had thought that he had collected many Heaven And Earth Treasures over the years, which he could use to treat his wife.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not have these three, he hadn't even heard of them.

But Shangguan Zhuo was not discouraged. As long as something existed in this world, even if it was at the ends of the earth, he would find it and bring it back.

"Where can I find them?"

Seeing his serious expression, as if he was about to risk his old life, Xu Luo quickly explained.

"I know their approximate locations. I can accompany you to find them. If all goes well, we should be able to find them in three to five months. Then, the treatment can be carried out."
