The two of them came to a nearby town, found two rooms in a random inn, rested for a night, and made other plans tomorrow.
……
After taking a bath, Zhuang Xingyu was having a delicious meal in the room.
"Knock, knock, sir, open the door."
Zhuang Xingyu opened the door and saw Huangfu Ruiyao standing outside the door, looking very pretty and wearing light makeup, which was in sharp contrast to her previous morbid beauty.
After sensing it with the Chaos Pearl, he found that the spirit in that sacred object was still sleeping.
"Miss Huangfu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"My Lord, you must have forgotten something! You swore before that you would help me find a precious medicine to treat my internal injuries."
"My bad, my bad, please come in quickly."
After arriving at the room, Huangfu Ruiyao immediately released a small cover that covered the surroundings of the room, and explained: "This is a secret treasure of my family. It only has the function of blocking others from exploring. As long as no one breaks in by force, within 10 meters and below the level of Super Douluo, no one can detect any movement inside."
There is a kind of child who, having obtained a treasure, cannot wait to show it to his parents and friends.
Chapter 39 Fulfilling the Oath
"Wow, what a great treasure." Zhuang Xingyu praised without reservation.
As long as it does not infringe upon his core interests, Zhuang Xingyu does not mind saying nice things. After all, saying nice things does not cost money and can solve many problems. It is nothing more than a matter of talking a few times.
In fact, she was not really saying that, because Zhuang Xingyu had always had the habit of using the Chaos Bead to conceal his aura and prevent others from detecting him, which was much more useful than her secret treasure.
"You are too cautious! You are still wearing a human skin mask."
"Haha, it's better to be cautious! Boys should learn to protect themselves when they are outside."
"Tsk, narcissistic."
"Please take a seat and have some tea. Tell me the details of the situation and what internal injuries caused the death? I can then send someone to look for the relevant medicines."
Huangfu Ruiyao took the tea, sat down and said slowly: "The injured one is my mother. My mother is a level 83 Soul Douluo. A month ago, when she was practicing, her soul power suddenly went backwards and she fainted. Her internal organs were seriously injured and she is still in a coma. Even the Soul Douluo-level healing soul master in the family was helpless and said that my mother only had three months left to live."
As she spoke, Huangfu Ruiyao's eyes turned red, and she begged with sobs, "Please, help me, I know it's difficult. If it's not enough, I can add more money, my family is very rich."
"Don't cry yet, let me think about it. Suddenly, the soul power went backwards, and I didn't notice it before. Could it be that someone around her poisoned her? Does your mother have a bad relationship with someone? Or is it to compete for favor and the position of clan leader? How many women and children does your father have?"
"It couldn't be poisoned. My father has only one woman, mother, and I am his only child. My mother has a good relationship with the tribe members. At first, my father suspected that someone had poisoned me, but after a long investigation, he found no signs of poisoning, and no one around him had any motive to poison me."
"Since it wasn't poison, but his soul power suddenly went backwards, as a Soul Douluo, it's impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. There must be other reasons. Hey! I figured it out! Come on, give me your hand."
Zhuang Xingyu pressed on Huangfu Ruiyao's wrist, "Use your soul power."
"What's wrong? Why is this happening?" Although he was puzzled, Huangfu Ruiyao still obediently activated his soul power.
"I should know the reason. Is your mother also a profound yin body? She is 48 years old this year?"
"My mother and I do have the same body type as mine, both of us have the Extreme Yin Mysterious Body Type, and she is indeed 48 years old this year. But how did you know? Apart from my mother and me, even my father doesn't know about our body types. Do you already know the solution?" Huangfu Ruiyao excitedly grabbed Zhuang Xingyu's hand.
"That makes sense. Although you and your mother have the Mysterious Yin Body, you don't understand this body constitution. This body constitution usually awakens at the age of 30. The reason why you awakened earlier is because it was accidentally stimulated at the critical moment of life and death. This body constitution can speed up the cultivation of both parties during dual cultivation, but there is a disadvantage, that is: at the age of 48, the soul power will suddenly go backwards, and if it is not handled properly, it will die."
Zhuang Xingyu paused, and then said, "As for the solution, there are two. The first one is relatively gentle: find someone who is very proficient in the laws of yin and yang, and perform the Zhou Gong ceremony with your mother to guide, dredge, and repair the chaotic soul power in your body. It only takes one time to solve the problem, and it will never happen again."
“Well, wait, this person who is proficient in the laws of yin and yang you are talking about, can’t it be you?” Huangfu Ruiyao felt more and more puzzled as he listened. After hearing the last part, he jumped up and looked at Zhuang Xingyu dangerously.
Zhuang Xingyu hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, listen to me first! The reason I mentioned this method is to tell you that the hidden dangers of your constitution have been completely resolved after the last incident. Although I am proficient in the laws of yin and yang, I will never use this method to treat your mother."
"I have another method: use Qiluo tulip as the main ingredient, and mix it with various precious medicines to make a detoxification pill. This pill can neutralize the fire poison in your mother's body; use cockscomb Phoenix sunflower as the main ingredient to make a Phoenix Pill. This pill can temper the soul power and expel the impurities in your mother's body. Just one detoxification pill + half a Phoenix Pill can make your mother recover. If you are lucky, you can even break through the first level of soul power."
"Then these pills must be very precious and rare! Do you have any connections to help me buy two? Don't worry, I'll pay for it. It doesn't matter how much it costs."
Huangfu Ruiyao was so eager to save his mother at this moment that he didn't care about being rational or irrational.
As he said this, he took out all his possessions. Except for the sacred object, he took out all the valuable things on his body, including hairpins, earrings, etc.
Huangfu Ruiyao naturally understood some things. After all, those who could afford such precious elixirs were all people with plenty of gold soul coins and of high status. The number of elixirs was limited, so naturally, the sellers would sell them to those around them first.
Therefore, if you want to obtain elixirs, you can't just buy them with gold soul coins. You also need to have a high status and pay a lot of favors. Otherwise, you will have nowhere to spend your gold soul coins.
"If the money is still not enough, please give me an address and I will ask the family to find a way to send it over later."
Zhuang Xingyu smiled and waved his hands, "No need to bother, I already have these two things. As for the money, you don't need it. I promised you before that I would take the remaining treasures and help you find medicine, so I will keep my word. You are so generous! We have only known each other for a few days, and you dare to show off so much money. You are lucky to have met me."
After saying that, Zhuang Xingyu took out a detoxification pill and half a Phoenix Pill from his storage ring, put them in a jade box, and handed them to Huangfu Ruiyao.
Huangfu Ruiyao hurriedly took the pill and felt the powerful breath of life inside it, which was even stronger than the breath of the black box he saw in the Titled Douluo Cave.
At first glance, it is obvious that this is a priceless treasure that can cure my mother.
"Thank you so much, I don't know how to thank you." Huangfu Ruiyao said sincerely.
"It's okay. You are from a hidden family, right? If you really want to thank me, just tell me about your hidden family, the ancient secrets of the continent, and the cultivation methods used in the past."
Zhuang Xingyu finally asked what he wanted to ask the most. After all, a stone from another mountain can polish a jade, and the three thousand great ways all lead to the same destination.
A new system of cultivation can open the door to a new world for people, allowing them to look at cultivation from another perspective, which will be of great benefit to those who create their own position as the God of Creation.
A new cultivation system must have a corresponding auxiliary cultivation system. For example, if a person in the era of soul guide cultivation gets this thing, he will most likely be ahead of his contemporaries.
If Zhuang Xingyu could now understand some methods of making soul guides, or some clues of inheritance, it would definitely allow the family to rise quickly.
Just like Tang San, he was able to establish the Tang Sect relying solely on hidden weapons from the world of martial arts. This shows the importance of a completely new practice system.
Chapter 40: Ancient Secrets of the Continent
After all, Qingyun Sect's alchemy technique has extremely high requirements for talent and medicinal herbs, and it is difficult to promote it in the family. It is also too powerful and much more precious than Tang San's hidden weapon.
Once discovered, even the King of Gods would be unable to sit still. After all, the elixir that was made could have a huge effect on the King of Gods and the God of Creation, and could greatly change the existing structure of the God Realm.
"Okay! No problem, but my family has been in retreat since 15,000 years ago, so I can only tell you about the past. Let me start with myself!"
Huangfu Ruiyao would not tell anyone about his family's core secrets, but he would tell them all about the secrets of other hidden families.
"I come from the Huangfu family, which is indeed a hidden force. My family martial spirit is the Five Elements Qilin. I am 17 years old this year and have innate full soul power. My father is a level 1, and I have two uncles, who are level 95 and 92 respectively. The ancestor of the family created a god position 91 years ago and achieved a first-level deity: the Five Elements Qilin Sword God!"
"The God Ancestor left behind two secret realms, one large and one small, for future generations to take refuge in and also as a place of inheritance. The small secret realm is the one we went to today, and the large secret realm is where my family lives now."
"There is a barrier around the Great Secret Realm. Anyone who enters cannot come out at will. The barrier will only crack once every 10 years, allowing 50 people below level 10 to go out and be randomly teleported out together. Those who enter below level 60 can only go out for ten days, otherwise they will be forced to return."
"If you want to break the barrier and enter and exit freely, you must rely on the magical object left by the ancestor. (PS: Breaking the barrier here does not mean damaging the barrier, but it is equivalent to a key that can open and close the barrier freely)
The sacred objects require secret family rituals and training, which takes decades before they can be used.
Originally, there were two sacred objects in the family. One was already sacrificed and carried by the clan leader. The other was left untouched in the small secret realm as a spare key."
"The God Ancestor's planning has always been correct. The purpose of setting up the barrier is to prevent enemy invasion and allow the family to unite as one and have the courage to fight to the death when facing external crises."
"But no matter how much we planned, we never expected that the family would be in turmoil and disintegrate from within. Fifteen thousand years ago, the family split into two branches. The two sides fought for years and ended up with both sides losing. The divine object that we had prepared for the sacrifice was also broken, and the treasure map that opened the small secret realm was also lost. In the end, we were ambushed by foreign tribes and the entire army was wiped out. Only a few members of the family were left, and they managed to escape by hiding in the secret realm."
"In order to get out, the family sent people to look for it every ten years. It took more than 1 years, but it was not found until now."
“I was injured not long ago, and was teleported to the cave of a titled strongman. I sensed the treasure and became greedy, so I started looking for it, wanting to take it away to see if I could heal my mother.
Because of this, I didn't leave in time. I was discovered before I got the treasure and was hunted down by a Titled Douluo. All five people from my family who followed me died. I really deserve to die!" Huangfu Ruiyao lowered his head in guilt.
"By the way, do you know who that Titled Douluo is? He lives in a cave with a very deep lake inside. His beard and hair are green, and his martial spirit is a snake."
"Ah! Well, the Title Douluo you met should be Dugu Bo, titled Poison, with a soul power of level 91. However, in a few years, his soul power may increase very quickly."
Zhuang Xingyu was stunned at this moment. Is the world so small?
Could it be that Huangfu Ruiyao took the blame for himself?
This statement is wrong!
After all, if Huangfu Ruiyao had not been greedy, if he had not spent time looking for treasures, and had left in time, there would have been no casualties. Also, the random teleportation function of their barrier was quite tricky.
But Huangfu Ruiyao was looking for the treasure in order to save her mother. Filial piety is the most important virtue, so it cannot be said that her behavior was wrong.
When Dugu Bo saw that the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were gone, he was angry and refused to listen to the outsiders who suddenly appeared in the cave. So this matter was somewhat related to Zhuang Xinyu.
But, [If Zhuang Xingyu didn't take the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, would Huangfu Ruiyao be able to resist the temptation and leave in time after seeing the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire? ]
Everyone knows Dugu Bo's personality. When faced with outsiders who suddenly appeared in his cave and saw his secret treasure land, would he be in a good mood? Would he let the six soul masters leave?
[So no matter whether Zhuang Xingyu takes the Ice and Fire Nights or not, Huangfu Ruiyao and the others will be hunted down by Dugu Bo.]
But if Zhuang Xingyu had not taken the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Huangfu Ruiyao and Zhuang Xingyu would not have met, Huangfu Ruiyao would not have been able to find the family's sacred object, and would not have obtained the elixir to treat her mother.
Ah! Zhuang Xingyu was confused.
Zhuang Xingyu thought to himself: "Forget it, don't think about it, I won't get involved in this matter, it really has nothing to do with me, let it go!"
Huangfu Ruiyao paused, and after recovering, he continued, "We, the hidden families, know each other a little bit. In addition to our Huangfu family, there is another hidden family: the Dongfang family. Their martial soul Xuanba Ding seems to have one level 1 and one level 95 in their current generation."
"The Dongfang family does not have a secret realm. They live in a sparsely populated giant valley in the eastern part of the continent. It is covered with smoke all year round. I heard they call it a natural smoke formation. Outsiders cannot enter. But as far as I know, they have the idea of entering the world recently."
"The reason for his seclusion seems to be to practice something, but I don't know what it is. Among the younger generation, there is a person with a talent similar to mine."
"Then, Lu Yuangu's secret does exist. In ancient times, the cultivation system of Douluo Continent was not soul ring cultivation. Before that, there were two cultivation systems."
"One is physical training, which is to polish the body, devour monsters, and gradually strengthen oneself. The other is soul guide civilization, which is to use external objects to arm oneself."
"These two systems developed in parallel at the time. Later, someone discovered the spirit ring cultivation system. People found that the spirit ring cultivation system was easier and faster, so the fittest survived and the two cultivation systems were gradually abandoned. There is no conspiracy theory or anything like that."
Zhuang Xingyu sighed, "I think those two cultivation systems are actually very powerful. After all, the drawbacks of the spirit ring cultivation system have already been revealed: there are not enough spirit beasts. It would be best if these three cultivation systems develop in parallel and complement each other. Only when a hundred flowers bloom can everyone in Douluo Continent be as powerful as a dragon."
Huangfu Ruiyao took out a piece of paper and a pen from his storage ring and said, "These two cultivation systems have been lost, but my family has recorded some valuable things and some clues. I'll write them down for you later."
"After all this, we've known each other for quite some time. Why don't you tell me your true identity?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xingyu took out a jar of good wine, a stove, warmed up the wine, and handed a glass to Huangfu Ruiyao.
"Haha, I will definitely tell you. You've told me so many secrets, so I naturally have to tell you about the current situation on the mainland. Let's have a [Talk about Heroes Over Wine] tonight!"
(The second set won't be too many, just a little, just add a few people)

Chapter 41: Discussing Heroes over Drinking Wine
"It's an honor." Huangfu Ruiyao took the wine, took a sip and put it down, praising it for being a good wine, then held his chin with both hands and listened carefully.
