Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 496 - 440: Father Chu Is Saved

Golden Radiance City has a teleportation array that can be directly reached, and Chu Chen didn’t hesitate at all, immediately commanding Unyielding to enter the teleportation array.

With a flash of white light, Chu Chen appeared once more, now within the Alliance Building.

"How’s your father’s condition?" Long Batian asked solemnly.

Chu Chen shook his head upon hearing this, saying, "It’s not looking very optimistic. Was the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus exchanged successfully?"

Long Batian nodded upon hearing this, saying, "The Alliance Hierarch has already obtained it for you. Let’s head to the Cultivation Room promptly to help your father refine this Pure Heaven Snow Lotus." With that, he handed a jade box to Chu Chen.

After putting away the jade box, Chu Chen asked in confusion, "Did Sun Wenshan and the others not make things difficult this time?"

"That’s what’s strange. Normally, regardless of the issue, they would find a way to obstruct us. But this time, the exchange for the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus was surprisingly smooth."

Chu Chen furrowed his brow upon hearing this. Given Sun Wenshan and their typical conduct, this indeed seemed puzzling, though he could conclude that Father Chu’s poisoning may not involve Sun Wenshan, yet he must be aware of it.

Their actions likely weren’t as simple as offering a favor.

Suddenly, as Chu Chen contemplated, Father Chu began to cough violently.

Chu Chen snapped out of his thoughts; now wasn’t the time for consideration. The urgent priority was to remove the toxins from Father Chu’s body.

Without further delay, he quickly led everyone into the Cultivation Room.

Chu Chen flipped his hand and took out the jade box containing the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus. Opening the box carefully, a rich wave of Star Power greeted him.

Chu Chen took just a breath of it and felt a swelling sensation in his meridians.

Everyone seemed to feel the same, their eyes full of astonishment.

The Pure Heaven Snow Lotus was only about a foot in size, with a snow-white lotus pod about the size of an adult’s fist, while its stems and leaves were transparent.

Chu Chen carefully picked up the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus and turned to ask Su Lingyun beside him, "Lingyun Sister, do you know how to use this?"

Chu Chen hadn’t held much expectation, given that this was a Celestial Rank Middle Grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, which ordinary people would never come in contact with.

Unexpectedly, Su Lingyun knew the usage of this Pure Heaven Snow Lotus.

"The essence of the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus is concentrated in its leaves. Just remove a leaf and let Uncle consume it. However, its grade is too high, and Uncle’s condition is too poor. He can only take a little at a time; otherwise, it will backfire."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen’s face lit up with joy. He handed the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus over to her and said, "Then you can handle it; we’ll follow your lead."

Su Lingyun was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, looking at Chu Chen with his expectant gaze. She took a deep breath and accepted the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus.

She gently removed a petal, tore it into four small parts, and handed one piece to Chu Chen, saying, "Feed the petal to Uncle, then use Soul Power to assist its refinement. Be careful to go slowly; otherwise, his body won’t be able to withstand it."

Chu Chen gravely accepted the petal and tucked it into Father Chu’s mouth, then immediately began channeling his Soul Power to aid its refinement.

The whole process was incredibly slow; Chu Chen used his Soul Power to tightly envelop the petal, carefully refining one strand, and finally, delicately guiding that strand of Power of Purification into Father Chu’s body.

Only after Father Chu absorbed it would Chu Chen refine the second strand.

Just a small portion of the petal took a full hour and consumed half of Chu Chen’s immense Soul Power despite its richness.

Despite the large consumption, the results were excellent.

As Chu Xiong absorbed the Purification Power from the small piece of petal, he spat out a mouthful of toxic blood, and his originally dark green cheeks gained a hint of redness.

Chu Chen couldn’t be happier about this; the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus deservedly proved to be a powerful Celestial Tier treasure.

Without delay, he inserted another small part of the petal into Father Chu’s mouth, commencing the second refinement.

After refining the second piece, Father Chu expelled more toxins from his body, visibly improving in complexion.

His body also regained some strength; he held Mrs. Chu’s hand, his eyes full of emotion.

He had already braced himself to face death, yet unexpectedly, his son had brought him hope for life—after all, better to live in hardship than die.

If one can live, who would wish to die?

Next, Long Batian replaced Chu Chen, while Chu Chen took Elixir Pills and focused on regaining his spent Soul Power.

Though Long Batian practiced a Celestial Rank Lower Grade Meditation Technique, he was an Emperor Level expert, naturally possessing Soul Power far more robust than Chu Chen.

Long Batian managed to refine a full petal in one go, significantly alleviating Father Chu’s condition.

The dark green tone on his cheeks faded by more than half, and about one-third of his body’s color receded; his originally withered body gradually became fuller under the nourishment of the medicinal power.

Chu Chen accepted the lotus fragment from Su Lingyun and resumed assisting with Father Chu’s refinement.

After several exchanges between Chu Chen and Long Batian, they finally managed to eradicate all toxins from Father Chu’s body.

In total, five petal pieces were consumed, while the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus had only ten petals.

Father Chu slowly got up, moving his somewhat stiff body. Two years of torment had left him mentally exhausted; even though the toxins were purged, he still appeared weary, and his physical recovery would take time.

However, this ordeal brought a blessing in disguise for Chu Xiong; not only were the toxins fully removed, but his cultivation talent elevated from Yellow Rank Middle Grade to Cyan Rank Upper Grade.

This was primarily because the toxins had consumed much of the medicinal power; otherwise, his cultivation talent might have broken through to Blue Rank.

Chu Xiong felt immensely excited about this; he had always dreamed of becoming a strong warrior, previously hampered by limited talent. He never imagined encountering such a fortune in his later years.

Chu Chen looked at the remaining five petals of the Pure Heaven Snow Lotus, and without hesitation, plucked them all.

Su Lingyun looked pained at this, knowing the petals couldn’t be stored once picked, not understanding why Chu Chen would do such a thing.

Long Batian also cast a curious glance at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen smiled at them and said, "There are five of us, and we each get a petal," before handing out the petals to the four.

Su Lingyun hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, saying, "I can’t; this item is too precious, I can’t accept it."

"Indeed, your cultivation talent is stuck at Blue Rank Upper Grade; consuming these petals would definitely boost you to above Purple Rank Middle Grade," Long Batian said solemnly, in agreement.

Yet Chu Chen shook his head and laughed, "Today my father was able to get all the toxins removed, thanks to the teacher and Lingyun Sister, consider this a thank-you gift. Don’t refuse, it’s my sincerity, and besides, my circumstances are unique; just one petal will enhance my talent to Purple Rank."

So the two no longer declined, taking the petals.

Father Chu and Mrs. Chu continued to refuse.

Chu Chen had to persuade once more, "I already mentioned, one petal is enough for me. Dad, if you take another petal, it’ll enhance your cultivation talent to Blue Rank, besides consolidating it and preventing residual toxins."

Father Chu nodded slightly, considering, "Then I’ll accept it."

Having convinced Father Chu, Chu Chen then persuaded Mrs. Chu.

"Mom, this Pure Heaven Snow Lotus can purify internal impurities, not only making people feel younger but also smoothing and firming the skin, enhancing its elasticity. With improved talent, you can reach higher realms, extending longevity," said Chu Chen, somewhat seductively.

Mrs. Chu’s eyes brightened, and she hurriedly snatched the petal, fearing Chu Chen might retract his offer.
