Chapter 7603
You are indeed unfathomable
Xiao Chen's expression remained unchanged, his gaze still sharp, and his tone firm yet calm: "I need to know. This matter concerns me, and it is also closely related to what I am about to do."
The Black Dragon Taoist looked at him, a complex expression flashing in his eyes—a mixture of worry, apprehension, and a hint of helplessness…
He knew Xiao Chen's personality; once he made up his mind, he would never give up easily. Since Xiao Chen insisted on asking, even if he tried to hide it, it would probably be to no avail.
"Xiao Chen, take my advice and don't get involved with that person lightly."
The Black Dragon Taoist's tone became extremely solemn, even carrying a hint of dissuasion, "That person is too terrifying and has far-reaching influence. If you touch him now, you will only bring trouble upon yourself and suffer more losses than gains."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Who? Who exactly are you referring to, senior?"
The Black Dragon Taoist glanced around to make sure no one else was nearby before lowering his voice and speaking slowly and deliberately, his tone filled with deep apprehension:
There is a mysterious person in the capital.
He wields immense power, controlling half of the martial arts world in the capital. In addition, he secretly controls many underground forces and secret organizations, making his influence vast and unfathomable.
He was indeed working for the Spirit Realm.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, and his aura subtly deepened...
The mysterious figure in the capital controls half of the martial arts world and is also working for the Spirit Realm.
It seems that this person is the true giant hidden in the shadows of the Central Region and even the entire martial arts world of the Dragon Kingdom, and also one of the powerful enemies he will have to face in the future.
"Who is he?" Xiao Chen asked again, his tone urgent. He needed to know the identity of this mysterious person in order to prepare for future crises.
The Black Dragon Taoist slowly shook his head, his tone firm and resolute, leaving no room for argument:
"I can't say. I really can't say. If I do, not only will I be killed, but it won't do you any good either. It will only put you in greater danger."
All you need to know is that person is very strong, extremely strong, stronger than you can imagine. Right now, you are far from being his match, you don't even have the qualifications to get close to him.
Xiao Chen remained silent for a moment, looking at the solemn and resolute expression on the Black Dragon Taoist's face. He knew that the Taoist was not deliberately hiding anything, but had a real reason that was difficult to say. He also knew that the other party was doing it for his own good.
He nodded slowly, his tone calm:
"I understand. Thank you for informing me, senior. I will not ask any further questions."
The Black Dragon Taoist looked at him, feeling a slight sense of relief, but then became extremely solemn again, and once more instructed him:
"Xiao Chen, listen to my advice, don't go to the capital rashly."
Focus on improving your strength and stabilizing your realm first. It's not too late to go to the capital when you are confident enough to contend with that person's power.
That person... is really not easy to deal with. His ruthlessness and power far exceed your imagination.
Xiao Chen looked at him, then suddenly smiled. The smile was calm and confident, without the slightest impulsiveness or fear, and her tone was firm:
"Don't worry, senior, I won't act impulsively. I know my current strength, and I know what I should and shouldn't do. Before I have enough strength, I won't easily touch those dangerous people and things."
After speaking, he slowly stood up, clasped his hands slightly in a fist salute to the Black Dragon Taoist, and spoke in a respectful yet neither servile nor arrogant tone:
"Thank you for saving my life last night, and thank you for your guidance and reminders today. I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
The Black Dragon Taoist slowly stood up, nodded, and his eyes were full of approval:
"Good, good! I'm relieved that you think that way. Take care on your journey. If you need anything, you can always come back to Wanhua Mountain to find me. I will do my best to help you."
He thought for a moment, then took out a warm, smooth jade bottle from his robes. The bottle was entirely emerald green, with simple patterns engraved on it. He handed it to Xiao Chen, his tone gentle:
"These are five first-grade healing pills that I personally refined. They are quite effective. Take them; you might find them useful if you get injured again in the future."
Xiao Chen slowly shook his head, not taking the jade bottle, but instead taking out another pure white jade bottle from his robes, radiating a faint spiritual aura, and handing it to the Black Dragon Daoist, his tone calm:
"Senior saved my life, and I have no way to repay you. This bottle of pills is a small token of my gratitude. Please accept it."
The Black Dragon Taoist was taken aback, and subconsciously took the jade bottle, feeling somewhat puzzled...
He knew that Xiao Chen had only recently broken through to the next level and probably didn't have any good pills on him.
But when he unscrewed the bottle, an extremely rich fragrance of pills instantly gushed out, refreshing and invigorating, filling the entire hall. The fragrance was more than ten times stronger than the third-grade healing pills he had refined.
His pupils contracted sharply, and his hand trembled involuntarily. He quickly looked down into the jade bottle...
Inside the jade bottle lay ten lustrous, pure-colored pills, each radiating a powerful spiritual energy, clearly not ordinary.
"These are... fourth-tier spirit pills?!" Black Dragon Daoist exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock. "And not just one, but ten in total!"
He knew all too well the value of fourth-tier spirit pills...
Fourth-tier spirit pills are rare treasures throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom, comparable in value to a city. A single pill can cause countless martial arts experts to fight over them, let alone ten!
Even a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm would be tempted by so many fourth-tier spiritual pills.
He suddenly raised his head, staring at Xiao Chen in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and confusion... Just who was this young man? How could he possess so many fourth-tier spirit pills?
It should be noted that in the entire Dragon Kingdom, there are only a handful of alchemists who can refine fourth-order spirit pills, and each one requires a huge amount of effort and is by no means easy to obtain.
Seeing his shocked expression, Xiao Chen simply smiled faintly, saying nothing more or offering no explanation... Some things don't need to be explained too clearly; leaving things unsaid only highlights his mystery and power.
"Take care, senior." Xiao Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Black Dragon Taoist again, then turned and walked towards Qin Xianglan.
Qin Xianglan quickly followed in his footsteps, and the two walked out of the Black Dragon Temple side by side.
Behind him, the Black Dragon Taoist held the jade bottle in his hand, remaining motionless for a long time, his whole body still trembling slightly, the shock in his eyes lingering.
He watched Xiao Chen's retreating figure, muttering to himself, his tone filled with awe and emotion:
"Ten fourth-tier spirit pills... What kind of top-tier alchemist stands behind this young man? Or does he himself possess the ability to refine fourth-tier spirit pills?"
He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, a resolute glint in his eyes, and murmured again:
"War God King, you are indeed... unfathomable. Back then, I only thought you were exceptionally talented, but I never expected you to have such profound knowledge and abilities. It seems I underestimated you." (End of Chapter)
