Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 255 - 255 249 Subduing the Ranger!_1

255: Chapter 249: Subduing the Ranger!_1 255: Chapter 249: Subduing the Ranger!_1 The Ghost Tribe, one of the Hundred Clans of the Great Wilds, preyed on the souls and flesh of humans.

Unlike the intangible spiritual state of the specters from the age of grand technology that Xiao Chen knew from his past life, the Ghost Tribe of this land didn’t possess purely spiritual bodies.

They had full corporeal forms, flesh and blood, rendering them a unique life form situated somewhere between body and spirit.

They were markedly sinister, possessing the power to control human consciousness.

As he watched his wife’s complexion soften, Xue Sha gently reached into the coffin.

For years, due to the raging ghost energy, he could hardly touch her body.

Even in the past year, he kept the stone coffin closed to prevent the malicious ghost energy from wreaking havoc.

At this moment, Xiao Chen and his companions did not disturb Xue Sha.

The little colt by their side blinked its golden eyes, baffled by the actions of the man before it.

Was this edible?

In the young colt’s mind, the pill that Xiao Chen took out was of the utmost importance.

After a while, Xiao Chen finally said, “Blood Brother, ***** has been invaded by ghost energy, damaging her internal organs.

I’ve merely removed the ghost energy from her body now, which is an immediate but temporary solution.

Soon, this ghost energy will spread throughout her body again, and I can’t promise to cure her completely.”

“I am infinitely grateful for the help of the Xiao Clan Leader today.

I am only too aware of my wife’s illness.

If it were not for Xiao Clan Leader’s help, I fear she wouldn’t have made it through another year.

And yet, the Xiao Clan Leader has expended so many pills…

I wonder how much they cost.

Even if I have to scour the Great Wilds, I shall locate medicinal herbs and casting materials to repay my debt.

I only ask that the Xiao Clan Leader show mercy and spare some pills for me.”

“Blood Brother, have you considered what you would do if the ghost energy ravaging *****’s body couldn’t be suppressed with ordinary pills?”

“This…” Xue Sha suddenly stopped.

Indeed, if he couldn’t suppress it, would he just stand by and watch as his wife got devoured by the ghost energy, eventually turning into an evil spirit?

Fortunately, he recovered quickly and hurriedly blurted out, “Does the Xiao Clan Leader have a way?

As long as it can cure my wife, I am willing to serve as a waiting servant for the Xiao Clan Leader!”

The price was steep.

As a powerful warrior, who would willingly serve others, spend his lifetime crawling at others’ feet?

Yet, the stakes Xue Sha was willing to gamble for his love couldn’t be counted as less.

Xue Sha’s actions were precisely what Xiao Chen desired.

Otherwise, how could he still be waiting for Xue Sha after he stole his bronze battle chariot?

He would never let it go so easily.

However, after he learned of Xue Sha’s past, it gave him another idea.

To enjoy the benefits, mutual understanding must be the starting point.

Impacted by the age of materialistic ambition in his previous life, Xiao Chen devised a strategy.

Yet, he didn’t deceive Xue Sha.

Given his current strength, he could not fully cure her, especially considering how long she’d been affected by the ghost energy.

At this point, all he could do was to prevent the ghost energy from spreading and slow down the deterioration of her condition.

Ever since the destruction of his tribe, Xue Sha has been wandering in the Great Wilds, tirelessly searching for herbs to cure his wife.

His remarkable progress to reach the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm amidst such adversity, all while being under forty years old, was no small feat.

In the entire Great Wilds, his generation was certainly not mediocre.

If the Gu Yuan Clan could absorb him, he could potentially be nurtured into a Towering Realm Martial Artist in the future.

Moreover, Xue Sha was deeply loyal and righteous.

His devotion to his wife was clear to see.

Not only that, he achieved all this despite being from a tribe even smaller than the Gu Yuan tribe.

How could this be considered simple?

As long as his motive could be understood, Xiao Chen had nothing to fear.

In Xiao Chen’s view, the more secrets he held, the greater his potential.

If a person can be seen through by others, it means that they no longer have any potential or prospects.

If their growth is within other’s control, how can they achieve the peak of Martial Arts?

They even have limited growth.

“I wonder if Blood Brother would be willing to join my Gu Yuan Clan!” Xiao Chen said, without any hint of disguise.

Upon hearing this, Xue Sha understood it was the condition Xiao Chen had proposed.

There is no such thing as charity without reason.

Looking down at the slender figure in the white jade stone coffin, constantly enduring the erosion of the ghost energy, stinging his heart over and over again,

as long as she could open her eyes again, he was willing to serve in servitude.

With a thought, Xue Sha lifted his head and looked at Xiao Chen.

His eyes bore into Xiao Chen’s, in which he saw sincerity and openness.

That gaze seemed to reveal Xiao Chen’s innermost thoughts, all the way to his core.

After a while, Xue Sha finally said, “I have been wandering the Great Wilds for many years trying to find a cure for my wife, but I haven’t been successful.

Instead, the ghost energy has been more rampant.

I am fortunate to have met the Xiao Clan Leader.

As long as she can be cured, I am willing to serve the tribe, swearing to never leave or give up.”

At this moment, Xue Sha felt desperate.

Seeing his wife’s condition deteriorate and not knowing what to do, he met Xiao Chen, an alchemist.

This was like finding a way out after countless dead-ends and being given hope in the face of despair.

Furthermore, Xiao Chen even had a method to cure his wife.

Seeing the look on Xue Sha’s face, Xiao Chen understood that there were still some doubts in his heart.

After all, it was his beloved wife’s life at stake; some worry was only natural.

“Blood Brother, be assured.

******’s body has long been overdrawn due to long-term ghost energy erosion.

Fire or thunder attribute medicinal herbs are not only hard to find but also too potent for her to bear.

The clan leader thinks it would be better to use pills to absorb the ghost energy in her body slowly.

After the ghost energy in her body is reduced by half, other elixirs can be used.

This process may take more than a year.

I wonder what you think, Blood Brother!”

Before he had finished speaking, five porcelain bottles had once again appeared in Xiao Chen’s hand.

The thick medicinal fragrance floated out as the stoppers were opened, immediately giving everyone a jolt.

The little horse beside them even galloped forward, wanting to taste the pills whose medicinal strength was overpowering, and the surface even had misty patterns emerging.

These were the pills that Xiao Chen had refined specifically for those in the Blood Refining Realm.

They even contained an incredibly rare thousand-year-old spirit medicine.

The Five Tigers of our clan couldn’t help but have sparkling eyes.

If they hadn’t known they were no match for Xiao Chen, perhaps they would have attempted to seize it for themselves, as even they could feel how much these pills would help in their current realm.

Ignoring the several burning gazes, Xiao Chen flicked his fingers, and the five round pills surrounded by the mist were shot into the white jade stone coffin.

To him, while these five pills may have appeared precious to others, to him they seemed quite ordinary.

If it weren’t for the scarcity of the thousand-year spirit medicine, he would have already distributed these pills as welfare for the Blood Refining Realm Warriors in his tribe.

Boom!

The white jade stone coffin closed once again.

Xiao Chen remarked, “Blood Brother, with these five Blood Refining Realm Pills for suppression, ******should be safe for this month.

After she absorbs enough ghost energy, you can replace the old pills with new ones.

This way, half of the ghost energy should be eliminated within a year!”

What!

Everyone gasped in astonishment at his words.

Five Blood Refining Realm Pills, each worth a fortune, could only last a month.

Sixty such pills would have to be consumed over a year.

That many pills could promote even a pig to the Peak of the Blood Refining Realm.

Xiao Chen’s commitment to Xue Sha was enormous.

Xiao Chen waved his hand to stop Xue Sha’s formal thanks.

His actions left Xue Sha extremely grateful.

Xue Sha, who normally was cold and distant, wasn’t quite sure how to express his gratitude to Xiao Chen.

At this point, the movements of the Five Heavenly Tigers beside him broke his awkwardness.

A muscular man, wearing a piece of tiger skin around his waist, hesitantly approached Xiao Chen with the encouragement of his four brothers.

“Clan Leader Xiao, um…

does your honorable clan need to hire warriors?

Our five brothers would need only five of the pills you showed just now as a monthly payment, and we can serve as the workforce of your clan!”

Xiao Chen laughed without making a response.

“Perhaps, Clan Leader Xiao, three pills per month!”

Xiao Chen maintained his silence, laughing.

“Two!

Two!

We can’t go any lower than two!”
