Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Ancestral Jade Pendant

Chen Fan shook his head at their reactions, thinking to himself, "The Gathering Yuan Pill indeed has commendable effects, especially for Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but it isn’t that precious. Yet they treat it as if it were a divine elixir. It seems that the level of pill refinement on Earth simply can’t compare with that of the Cultivation World."

After his excitement had subsided, Qin Xiu’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, oh no, Master Chen, your level of pill refinement is something I’ve only heard of in the annals of our Sect. I never thought someone could really refine such elixirs."

"I’ve always had a deep yearning for divine elixirs. I wonder if Master Chen could stay on the island for a few more days; I have many questions about pill refinement that I wish to ask of Master Chen."

Chen Fan thought for a moment and nodded, "I can. Furthermore, I can teach you the method to refine the Gathering Yuan Pill. However, whether you can master it depends on your own luck."

Xie Guangyun died by his hand, and although it was his own fault, it was still a great loss for the Medicine Sect. However, Qin Xiu didn’t make trouble for him and instead treated him warmly. This made Chen Fan have a favorable impression of the sect leader, and so he agreed.

As for the Gathering Yuan Pill, they weren’t that precious. If Qin Xiu could truly refine them, then he himself also would have made a small contribution to Earth’s development in medicine refinement.

Qin Xiu was incredibly moved, looking at Chen Fan with a grateful expression, "That is truly too generous of you, Master Chen; your magnanimity is truly admirable!"

Chen Fan stared at Qin Xiu without speaking.

Feeling something strange in Chen Fan’s gaze, Qin Xiu touched his face and asked, "Master Chen, is there something amiss?"

Chen Fan said, "You still haven’t given me the three five-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines that were the prize for first place in the pill refinement contest."

Qin Xiu was startled, then let out a hearty laugh, "Look at my memory. Rest assured, I will have someone fetch the Spiritual Medicines immediately. To express my gratitude to Master Chen, I will gift you an extra five-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicine."

Chen Fan did not stand on ceremony. He nodded and then asked, "With such an abundant medicine treasury, the Medicine Sect must have quite a few Thousand-Year Elixirs, right?"

Qin Xiu coughed lightly and denied immediately, "Indeed, our Medicine Sect has many treasured Medicines, most are five-hundred-year-old ones. Thousand-Year Elixirs are rare in this world, and even we don’t have them."

Chen Fan smiled and said no more.

He obviously didn’t believe Qin Xiu’s words since the Martial Arts Conference had offered a Thousand-Year Elixir as a reward; how could the mighty Medicine Sect not have any?

Four five-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines should be enough for him to achieve a breakthrough to the latter phase of the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he had no need to covet the Thousand-Year Elixirs of the Medicine Sect.

Before long, a disciple came with four brocade boxes.

Chen Fan inspected them, confirming that all four were five-hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines, and nodded in satisfaction.

"I’ve arranged accommodations for the three of you. You can go and rest for a while. If you need anything during these days in the Sect, feel free to ask," Qin Xiu said with a smile.

"Thank you," Chen Fan took the brocade boxes and left the hall with Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen.

At that moment, Qin Yiyi ran up to Chen Fan and stopped him.

"Miss Qin, is there something else?" asked Chen Fan.

Qin Yiyi bit her lip, then bowed to Chen Fan, her face full of guilt, "Master Chen, I was too arrogant before and offended you. I sincerely apologize to Master Chen, and I hope you can forgive me."

Before Chen Fan could respond, Yang Tianzhen, full of hostility, said, "Hmph, didn’t you look down on our Chen Fan before? Why are you suddenly so familiar now? Let me tell you, don’t get any ideas about him. He is already spoken for."

Qin Yiyi hurriedly explained, "That’s not what I meant, I sincerely want to apologize, I was too narrow-minded before."

Yang Tianzhen snorted, "At least you have some self-awareness."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes at Yang Tianzhen, then turned to Qin Yiyi, "Miss Qin need not do this, I have never taken those past events to heart."

He then bypassed her and continued to walk forward.

Qin Yiyi watched Chen Fan’s retreating back, feeling a deep sense of loss. She could sense that it was not that he had never taken the past events to heart, but that he had never really seen her in his eyes.

"If only I had known he was this incredible from the beginning."

...

Inside a serene courtyard.

Chen Fan put down four Spiritual Medicines, then approached Yang Tianzhen and Yang Wanli, handing over the Jade Pendant.

Yang Wanli received the Jade Pendant and caressed it carefully with his hand, a touch of sentimentality crossing his face, "It’s been nearly twenty years, my Yang Family’s ancestral Jade Pendant, has finally returned."

Curious, Chen Fan looked at the Jade Pendant in Yang Wanli’s hand and asked, "Doctor Yang, is there anything special about this Jade Pendant?"

He had tried to inspect the Jade Pendant with his Divine Sense, but apart from discovering a mysterious fluctuation within it, he found nothing else.

Yang Wanli replied, "There is nothing particularly special about the pendant itself; it is simply an ancestral heirloom of the Yang Family, passed down through dozens of generations, with great significance."

"However, if we are to speak of it, there is a legend that an immortal once appeared among my ancestors, and this Jade Pendant was left behind by that immortal. Many elders in the Yang Family believe that there is a secret to becoming an immortal hidden within this pendant."

"Yet despite many generations passing on this legacy, apart from the legend, no member of the Yang Family has truly become an immortal. Instead, the Yang Family has gradually declined, and in my generation, there are only the two of us left."

"So I did everything I could to retrieve the Jade Pendant, only wanting to prevent this legacy from ending in my hands, as for any so-called secret to becoming an immortal, only a fool would believe."

Chen Fan’s face became contemplative, wondering if this Jade Pendant could be like the one his father had given him, another ancestral heirloom?

He eyed Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen, and said, "Doctor Yang, don’t be so skeptical, there might really be a secret to becoming an immortal hidden in this pendant."

"Try biting your finger and dripping some blood on the pendant."

Yang Wanli looked doubtful, but still did as Chen Fan suggested, biting his finger and dripping a drop of blood onto it.

Chen Fan concentrated on the Jade Pendant, but no change appeared on it.

Yang Wanli laughed, "Chen Fan, you’re a young man, why are you even more superstitious than I am? This Jade Pendant simply has nothing special about it, at most it’s a valuable antique."

Chen Fan didn’t speak, and after pondering for a while, he shifted his gaze to Yang Tianzhen who was staring with wide eyes, excitedly watching the scene unfold.
