o early, is there something wrong" Xiao Yu asked when he saw Song Hushan at the door.“Hehe, little Yu, don't have us stand outside and talk. Let's go inside to chat!” Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Son...Chapter 520: Departure

Xiao Yu His combat strength isn't weak, and he also has divine medical skills. In their eyes, Xiao Yu is a rare talent. Not to mention Zhong Lao's illness, even Old Lord Song and Old Lord Wu were brought back from the brink of death by Xiao Yu. If Xiao Yu goes, they would have considerable assurance for safety.

However, no one was willing to speak up. Xiao Yu is their second brother’s only child. In such a dangerous place, if something happens to Xiao Yu, how could they explain it to the second brother after death Thus, everyone hesitated and remained silent.

When Xiao Yu heard Xiao Jianying's words, he also fell silent. He understood these elders' thoughts. Actually, even if Xiao Yu goes, he believes that nothing unexpected will happen to him, but his mother doesn’t know! He’s afraid she’ll worry.

Therefore, Xiao Yu was very conflicted in his heart. After a moment, it seemed like something occurred to him, so he said to these elders and Xiao Jianying: "Wait for me for a moment. I'll be right back!"

After saying this, Xiao Yu turned around and ran towards the third courtyard where his room was located. Upon entering the house, he took out a turtle shell from his suitcase and then retrieved those three bronze coins from a side pocket.

Xiao Yu looked at the turtle shell in his hand. Although it still appeared pitch black now, if one observed carefully, they could see a faint golden glow emanating from its surface.

The turtle shell had always remained pitch black under Xiao Yu's possession, but once he accidentally swept it with the virtuous golden thread in his eyes, the turtle shell suddenly underwent an earth-shattering transformation. The originally dull and unappealing turtle shell became smooth and radiant.

Meanwhile, the patterns on its back gradually became clear, forming a Bagua (Eight Trigrams). After careful study, Xiao Yu determined that this naturally formed Bagua wasn't man-made; it grew naturally over time. Thus, when Xiao Yu confirmed the natural formation of this Bagua on the turtle shell, the words "Xiantian Bagua" popped into his mind.

Seeing such a transformation in the turtle shell, Xiao Yu didn’t hesitate to take out those bronze coins. When he just placed these coins inside the turtle shell, the copper rust on them appeared to miraculously fall off at a visible speed before his eyes, while the originally rusty and pitted coins regained their metallic luster.

Such an array of changes even left Xiao Yu, who had inherited Zhong Kui’s legacy, stunned. This item clearly has a hint of sentience; it could be considered a magical artifact as well. Did he obtain such an item so easily

To know that after the calamity of Heaven and Earth, obtaining a single magical artifact is like finding a needle in a haystack. Yet did he inadvertently acquire one Moreover, it's an auxiliary magical artifact among the most precious.

Furthermore, this magical artifact gave Xiao Yu the feeling that it wasn’t as simple as it seemed; the Xiantian Bagua naturally formed on the turtle shell’s back could be said to be a rarity of thousands or even ten thousand years.

Xiao Yu held the turtle shell and copper coins as he walked to the table, gradually calming his mind and gathering his thoughts. Once his mindset returned to a state of calm like still water in an ancient well, Xiao Yu picked up a copper coin from the table and placed it inside the turtle shell. While muttering something under his breath, he shook the shell twice before pouring out the coins.

When Xiao Yu poured the coins onto the table and saw the pattern they formed, his expression changed dramatically. He muttered to himself, "Extremely ominous It's extremely ominous"

A moment later, Xiao Yu's heart calmed down. He packed up everything and put it in a bag. Along with his medical supplies were凶器匕首、桃木劍、判官筆 (sharp tools like daggers, peach wood swords, and yambaru pens) which he also placed inside a portable cloth bag.

When the divination showed an extremely ominous result, Xiao Yu knew that he had to go this time. His older brother, second brother, and his father’s brothers were already there; if anything happened to them, he would never be at peace for the rest of his life, which could become a mental block preventing him from progressing in his cultivation.

After packing up everything, Xiao Yu thought about it and took out a white jade box from his medical bag. Opening the box, he saw two pieces of ginseng and some fragments inside. After a brief hesitation, he closed the lid and put everything into his cloth bag.

The night attire left to him by his grandfather was also packed up; according to what his grandfather wrote in a letter, this garment is immune to water and fire and might be useful.

Now, Xiao Yu had packed all of his belongings. After finishing the preparations, he left the room and went to the living room of the second courtyard.

The living room was quiet at that moment, with no sound. Xiao Jianying wore a conflicted expression on her face; she didn’t want Xiao Yu to take risks but also did not wish to hinder him. She knew her son's character well; although Xiao Yu had never met his father in person when he was young, their personalities were quite similar.

Without the brothers’ sake, Zhao Lingyun would not have been left as a corpse outside the national border, so Xiao Jianying remained silent and did not speak to influence her son’s decision.

When Xiao Yu entered the living room, seeing him with a bulging bag made both Xiao Jianying and the elders in the room aware of his decision.

"Have you decided" Xiao Jianying asked Xiao Yu.

"Mom, I'm sorry... "

"Alright, Mom understands your thoughts. You're grown up now; make your own decisions," interrupted Xiao Jianying before Xiao Yu could say anything else.

Xiao Jianying spoke clearly and directly, but her worry was evident in her eyes. Xiao Yu was everything to her; after her husband's death, she had only this son and daughter left. If something were to happen to her son, she didn't know what she would do.

Seeing the look on Xiao Jianying and Xiao Yu’s faces made the elders feel very uneasy inside.

"Xiao Yu, don’t go! We’ll find a few doctors for you!" The elders glanced at each other before looking over to Xiao Yu and saying this.

Xiao Yu slowly but firmly shook his head. "My eldest brother, second brother, and my father’s brothers are all there; I must go!"

"But don’t worry! No one who wants to hurt me has even been born yet!" After Xiao Yu spoke these words, he paused for a moment before looking up at his mother and the elders.

While speaking, Xiao Yu used some secret methods that made Xiao Jianying and the others subconsciously gain more confidence in him. Since Xiao Yu was not afraid to begin with, while saying this, his face was filled with self-confidence.

The sight of Xiao Yu’s confident expression and the slight sense of certainty they got from his tone greatly increased their faith in Xiao Yu, though they didn’t know where he had gotten his confidence from.

Originally, based on these elders’ abilities, they shouldn’t have been influenced by such a minor hypnotic technique. However, their minds were currently in disarray, giving Xiao Yu an opportunity to exploit them with this small method.

"No time to waste! Elders, how should we proceed" Upon seeing the elders' expressions, Xiao Yu quickly asked them.

“Alright then. I’ll arrange a private jet for you!” After hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Elder Song stood up and said this.

"Mom, don’t worry! Trust your son!" Before leaving, Xiao Yu looked at his mother behind him and said this.

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Jianying nodded silently without a sound but tears started to fall from her eyes for some reason.

“Don’t worry! Niece, I’ll go with Xiao Yu. Even if I die, I won't let anything happen to him!” Upon seeing Xiao Jianying’s appearance, the elders felt moved and Li Su jun even turned around and said this to Xiao Jianying.

Originally, they didn't plan to go because Xiao Yu and the others inherited their legacy, so these matters would eventually have to be faced independently. Moreover, for them, life and death were like一次次的曆練 (repeated trials), only through which could they progress and earn the qualification to fully inherit their legacy.

However, now that Xiao Yu hadn't officially joined yet, and given that he was a doctor himself, plus being an only child living comfortably and safely, what reason did they have to make him experience life and death

Thus, initially no one wanted to speak up. But since the conversation had started, and Xiao Yu intended to go, as their second elder brother's sole heir, it was natural for them to try to protect his safety.

Moreover, Li Suijun did this not only to protect Xiao Yu's safety; despite Xiao Yu’s formidable combat strength, in their view, since he hadn't experienced life and death, he might only be able to utilize five layers of his abilities during critical moments. Besides, this would reassure Xiang Jianying.

Secondly, their successors were there, although they verbally insisted that experiencing life and death was necessary for them to succeed, deep down, they couldn’t help worrying about them.

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, they left. Ever since he foretold a major calamity, his heart had been uneasy, especially with Zhu Simiao missing for several days; he needed to rush there immediately.

Sitting in the elders' car once again, he arrived at the special unit where Song Laohu's family was located and boarded the plane hidden within the cave.

Inside the aircraft, upon hearing Elder Li’s explanation, Xiao Yu learned that a benefit of these planes was their fixed routes. Once they took off, no other routes would intersect with theirs, making coordination unnecessary for these temporary departures.

"Elder Li, actually, you don’t need to come!" In the plane, Xiao Yu said to Li Suijun.

Although Xiao Yu hadn't seen Li Suijun in action before, he sensed that Li was very capable. Even so, he didn't intend to have Li accompany him; with Elder Li around, Xiao Yu’s movements might be restricted unless he planned on revealing his identity.

"Xiao Yu, I need to tell you something. Originally, this shouldn’t concern you, but since you’ve inherited your grandfather's legacy, these matters will eventually become relevant to you. This time, we might encounter them, so it’s best for you to be mentally prepared!"

Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Li Suijun’s expression turned serious and he spoke sternly. truly as the old Taoist said that the black shadow was a monkey, then the toxic fog poisoning they suffered from was the toxin condensed on animal claws. To treat such toxic fog poisoning, one would...
