Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1349 - 1349 1308 Dragon Vein

1349: Chapter 1308: Dragon Vein 1349: Chapter 1308: Dragon Vein “Mr.

Lu Chuan… Mr.

Lu Chuan, about what happened earlier, I truly apologize.”

Ye Jiaxin suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Lu Chuan.

With a serious expression, she said, “I apologize for my rudeness.

I hope Mr.

Lu Chuan can set aside any grudges.”

“That depends on how you behave.”

Lu Chuan never considered himself a villain, but he wasn’t so mild-tempered as to smile at someone after being humiliated—even if the person was a beauty.

“If Mr.

Lu Chuan doesn’t mind, I’d like to host a banquet in your honor as compensation for the unpleasantness earlier.”

“Do as you wish.

I need to rest first.

Take me to my room.

You can decide the rest.”

Acupuncturing Old Master Ye had indeed consumed quite a bit of Lu Chuan’s energy.

On top of that, ever since boarding the plane, he’d been feeling a lingering mental grogginess.

He needed a good rest.

With Ye Jiaxin leading the way, Lu Chuan arrived at a serene, independent courtyard.

The spiritual energy here was dense, with many spirit plants growing in abundance.

Most of them were mild and non-toxic, unlike the area overrun with Hanyu Yian from before.

According to Ye Jiaxin’s explanation, these individual courtyards were reserved for honored guests of the Ye Family.

Although Lu Chuan personally felt there was nothing particularly special about them, he chose not to decline Ye Jiaxin’s goodwill.

It had to be said—the Ye Family deserved its reputation as the top family in Luo City.

Upon entering the house, he saw that the elegant décor carried a classic charm.

The walls were adorned with works from famous artists, and Lu Chuan even noticed one of the calligraphy pieces was penned by himself!

Seemingly noticing Lu Chuan’s gaze, Ye Jiaxin asked hesitantly, “If Mr.

Lu Chuan doesn’t like these decorations, I can have someone remove them all.”

“No need.

Leave them as is.

It’s nice to glance at them occasionally for cultivating one’s character.”

“By the way, Old Master Ye’s condition is still very weak.

He’ll need elixir pills for nourishment.

I’ll write the elixir recipe for you later.

Collect more of the spirit plants and earth treasures listed, and deliver them to my room.

Also, unless I give explicit permission, do not disturb me.”

“Understood.

Thank you, Mr.

Lu Chuan!”

Upon hearing that Lu Chuan intended to engage in alchemy, Ye Jiaxin’s eyes lit up instantly.

Just acupuncture alone had been enough to wake her grandfather and significantly improve his complexion.

If he consumed elixir pills as well, wouldn’t his recovery be even faster?

However…

As Ye Jiaxin glanced over the elixir recipe Lu Chuan handed her, she noticed that many of the listed materials were not only unfamiliar to her—she hadn’t even heard of them.

“Mr.

Lu Chuan, may I ask what these few ingredients are?”

“Are you well-versed in alchemy?”

“Not really…”

“Then why ask?

Were you planning on having me explain everything from scratch?

Even if you’re keen on learning, I don’t aspire to be anyone’s teacher.

Just follow the recipe to gather the ingredients.

Don’t ask unnecessary questions.”

Ye Jiaxin was utterly shut down.

Bewildered, she simply muttered an “Oh” and left without saying more.

After setting up a barrier within the room, Lu Chuan exhaled deeply, finally allowing himself to relax a little.

“By the way, Tower Spirit, do you know a method to use the Human Emperor’s Pendant for resurrecting someone?”

“Reversing yin and yang involves entangling oneself in immense karmic repercussions.

I advise you to abandon this idea.”

“So that means you do know, right?”

The Tower Spirit said nothing, its silence serving as tacit confirmation.

“The Human Emperor’s Pendant is in Nalan Xuan’s possession.

Several years ago, she even took Ye Chongshan’s corpse with her, so it’s essentially certain she’s trying to resurrect him.

For reasons unclear, she hasn’t succeeded, which is why she refuses to lend me the pendant.

If I can help her bring Ye Chongshan back to life, perhaps I can get the Human Emperor’s Pendant.

Here’s my offer, Tower Spirit: if you tell me the method to reverse yin and yang, I’ll assist you in regaining your strength.

How about it?

Doesn’t this deal sound worthwhile?”

“…

Underneath Luo City lies a dragon vein.

Enter it, extract a strand of innate qi, and use it to repair the Little Tower.

If you can achieve that, I’ll assist you in resurrecting Ye Chongshan.”

“Deal!”

Lu Chuan had been waiting for the Tower Spirit’s promise.

As long as it agreed to help, bringing Ye Chongshan back to life wouldn’t be a challenging endeavor.

As for the dragon vein…

The Ye Family probably wouldn’t allow him into such a crucial location.

Lu Chuan would need to find a way to infiltrate it.

“By the way, what exactly is a dragon vein?”

“You can think of it as destiny.

Being situated atop a dragon vein provides you with destiny’s protection.

Your life will flow smoothly, overcoming obstacles with ease and turning misfortune into fortune.”

“That powerful?

Does Cloud City have a dragon vein?”

“No.

Cloud City’s destiny lies entirely within you.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but feel somewhat pleased.

Even though he didn’t entirely grasp the abstract concept of destiny, he understood one thing: it was an extraordinary existence!

“But judging by your explanation, my life should be smooth sailing, right?

Why am I always encountering so many troubles?”

Reflecting on the past few years, Lu Chuan realized he’d been constantly traveling and enduring hardships—hardly the life of someone blessed with destiny.

“Your situation is slightly different—it’s complicated to explain, and you wouldn’t understand.

Think of it this way: the destiny within your body is still dormant, yet to fully awaken.

This means that while you’ll often encounter problems, you’ll also manage to turn calamities into blessings most of the time.”

“I see…”

Lu Chuan nodded thoughtfully, his mind swirling with ideas.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door, making Lu Chuan frown instinctively.

“Who is it?”

“Mr.

Lu Chuan, it’s me, Ye Jiaxin!

Could you please come and check on my grandfather?

His condition has suddenly worsened!”

“Old Master Ye?

How is that possible?”

Lu Chuan furrowed his brows, hastily dismantled the barrier, and swung open the door.

He was immediately met with the sight of Ye Jiaxin on the verge of tears.

“Do you know what caused this?”

“I don’t know.

Just now, I was discussing with grandfather about purchasing the spirit plants and earth treasures you listed on behalf of the family.

But when I entered his room, I found he had a flushed, painful look on his face.

Mr.

Lu Chuan, my grandfather—”

Without waiting for her to finish, Lu Chuan activated his spiritual power and disappeared in a flash, leaving Ye Jiaxin stunned in place.

Inside Old Master Ye’s room, Lu Chuan pushed open the door, and with just one glance at his condition, his expression turned grim.

“This isn’t ‘condition worsening’—this is blatant poisoning by Gu poison!”

Staring at the wriggling Gu insect burrowing under Old Master Ye’s neck, Lu Chuan decisively sprang into action.

Propelling his spiritual power, he easily sliced open the skin, directing his energy to extract the Gu insect before clasping it tightly in his hand.

“A Gu poison I’ve never encountered before?”

But right now, the source of the Gu poison wasn’t the top priority.

The key issue was how to purge Old Master Ye of its venom!

While the Gu insect was removed, its toxins lingered within Old Master Ye’s body.

If they weren’t extracted swiftly, the poison would invade his heart veins, and by then, even immortals wouldn’t be able to save him!
