541. What a Special Suggestion （1）

Ye Shi looked at Qu Kun's advancement with a deep sense of joy in his eyes. "Grandpa Qu has been promoted, great! He will become a master from now on."

Qu Kun sneered inwardly and thought to himself: He can only be considered a master if he can defeat Ling Chuan. Right now, he's only at the early stage of Martial Saint, while Ling Chuan can easily crush him. What kind of master is he?

Being with Mu Chen, Ling Chuan, Bai Chenxing, Qu Kun had gained a broadened understanding. He knew that although Martial Saint seemed powerful on the surface, there were still many Martial Sages in Zhongzhou.

As if sensing Qu Kun's thoughts, Ling Chuan smiled and said, "Darling, although you're strong now, you still have a long way to go compared to me. Don't worry, I will protect you if you encounter any danger."

Qu Kun's face twisted, thinking to himself, "I am this old, and Ling Chuan still calls me darling. He's becoming more and more disgusting."

Knowing that he couldn't defeat Ling Chuan, Qu Kun chose to ignore him. No matter how gloomy his expression was, Ling Chuan always wore a smiling face, making Qu Kun feel like he was punching thin air.

"You shouldn't be too far from advancing to Martial Saint," Qu Kun said to Ye Shi.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes."

Previously, he dared not use medicinal pills recklessly while carrying twins, causing much of the energy from the elementary stones to be absorbed by the babies. Now that he had given birth to the babies, his cultivation speed had returned to normal. Ye Shi had an abundance of medicinal pills and elementary stones, so his progress was naturally rapid.

Ling Chuan furrowed his brows as he looked at the message token in his hand.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Ye Shi asked.

Ling Chuan put away the message token and said, "It's nothing serious. The people from Alchemy Valley have been trapped and sent a message to me."

The message was probably sent earlier, but it only reached him after leaving the sealed palace.

"Did something bad happen to them?" Ye Shi asked.

Ling Chuan smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, they were trapped just as we expected."

Ye Shi thought for a moment and asked, "Should we help them?"

Mu Chen let out a sigh and said, "It's probably not easy."

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen suspiciously and asked, "Not easy? "

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I passed through the last door and can easily lead you back the way we came. However, I don't have the ability to open other doors." He learned this from absorbing Zhuang Tianyang's memories.

Zhuang Tianyang could only return the way he came, and if he chose a different path, he would have to forcibly break through.

Ye Shi furrowed his brows and asked, "So they can only wait for death?"

Ling Chuan dismissed it and said, "There's no hurry for that. We need to find the Ninth-Level Alchemy Book first. As for the people from Alchemy Valley, we'll try to rescue them if possible. If not, there's nothing we can do."

Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's true."

...

"Let's go, let's find the alchemy book first. Do you know where it is?" Bai Chenxing asked Mu Chen.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "I know."

Mu Chen and the others quickly arrived at the location of the ninth-level alchemy book. It was a jade ancient book placed on an altar, emitting a colorful light and exuding an indescribable sense of mystery.

"Can this formation be broken?" Ling Chuan asked Bai Chenxing.

Bai Chenxing furrowed his brows and said, "I'm afraid I can't break it."

Ling Chuan glanced at Bai Chenxing with disdain and said, "You're really useless!"

Bai Chenxing cast a faint glance at Ling Chuan and slowly said, "This formation is a mid-level ancient formation at the ninth level, and furthermore, it is an unsolvable formation."

Ye Shi furrowed his brows. An unsolvable formation had no loopholes or weaknesses. If they forcefully broke the formation, they would likely be counterattacked by the formation and might even destroy the jade ancient book.

Ye Shi looked at Bai Chenxing and asked, "Does that mean we won't be able to obtain the ninth-level alchemy book?"

Bai Chenxing shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. This formation does not prevent the intrusion of soul power. Mu Chen can delve into it with his soul power and read the contents of the alchemy book."

Ling Chuan tried to delve his soul power but found that he couldn't read anything.

"It doesn't work!" Ling Chuan said.

Bai Chenxing furrowed his brows and said, "It's probably because your soul power is too low, Father-in-law."

Ling Chuan: "..." Bai Chenxing was underestimating him, wasn't he?

Bai Chenxing's gaze shifted to Mu Chen and he said, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Mu Chen nodded and carefully delved his soul power into the formation. As soon as Mu Chen's soul power touched the jade ancient book, its light suddenly intensified.

Ye Shi's eyes widened in excitement and he exclaimed, "Mu Chen is amazing!"

Qu Kun looked at Ling Chuan and said with a smug expression, "You really are useless!"

Ling Chuan: "..."

Bai Chengfeng quietly observed Ling Chuan and thought to himself, "Things always change, just like the turning of the tide."

Mu Chen retracted his soul power and Bai Chenxing asked him, "How was it?"

Mu Chen furrowed his brows and said, "I was able to read it, but it seems that the ancient book cannot be taken away."

Ye Shi felt a bit frustrated and said, "The people from Alchemy Palace are really stingy. They only allow us to see it, but not take it."
