Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 233 Feng Ziyuan!

Upon hearing this, Long Chen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said to the elder, "No problem."

The elder looked at Long Chen in surprise. "You agreed just like that, without even knowing the conditions? Do you realize I’m asking for your life?"

Cai Qing’s pupils trembled.

Yet Long Chen remained expressionless, his attitude firm as he replied, "As long as you can heal my friend, I will agree to any condition you propose."

"If she hadn’t saved me, I probably wouldn’t even have the chance to be standing here now."

"I am willing to trade a life for a life!"

"But first, you must guarantee that you can truly cure my friend!" As he spoke, Long Chen’s tone grew colder, laced with a heavy sense of warning.

After hearing Long Chen’s words, the elder chuckled and turned away, leaving behind a single sentence. "Bring her inside."

"Lingjun, he’s willing to treat you! We have a chance!" Long Chen looked down at Chu Lingjun and smiled. He then lifted her from the ground and carried her toward the house.

Upon entering, the elder had Long Chen place Chu Lingjun on a bed.

The elder reached out to feel Chu Lingjun’s pulse. Finding it extremely weak, he had Long Chen help her sit up.

Immediately after, the elder struck out with his palm, landing it precisely on Chu Lingjun’s back.

Chu Lingjun’s body shuddered.

A powerful force suddenly surged into her body. The elder was using the power he had condensed to repair Chu Lingjun’s internal injuries.

Long Chen watched this scene nervously, desperately hoping Chu Lingjun would make a full recovery.

The entire process lasted about an hour before the elder slowly withdrew his hand. The color gradually returned to Chu Lingjun’s pale face.

"Lingjun!" Seeing the treatment was over, Long Chen immediately drew near Chu Lingjun’s side, calling her name.

But no matter how he called, Chu Lingjun didn’t respond.

Confused, Long Chen checked her pulse again and found that it had grown much stronger.

He turned to the elder and asked, "What’s going on?"

"Her injuries were too severe, and her meridians were completely destroyed," the elder explained. "I’ve just forcefully treated her internal injuries and saved her life. However, for her to fully recover and regain consciousness, we will need specific medicinal herbs."

"Unfortunately, I don’t have the herbs needed to restore her meridians."

"What herbs?" Long Chen took out all the herbs from his spatial ring, and a huge pile of medicinal herbs and Elixir Pills appeared before the elder.

Standing to the side, Cai Qing was stupefied at the sight of so many precious herbs.

Even the well-traveled elder was now dumbfounded.

Hell Vine.

Chasing Wind Pomegranate.

Condensed Fire Pill.

...

The sheer variety of Elixir Pills and medicinal herbs made the elder’s head spin. He had never imagined that Long Chen’s spatial ring could hold such an abundance of rare medicinal ingredients!

The rare medicinal herbs possessed by one person could rival those of an entire Sect Power? At this thought, even the elder had to regard Long Chen in a new light.

Long Chen asked, "Senior, are there any herbs here that can be used?"

Hearing this, the elder snapped out of his daze. After glancing at the array of rare herbs before him, he answered Long Chen’s question.

"Some of these can be used, but we’re still missing one crucial herb."

Long Chen asked again, "What herb is it?"

"Restoring Tendon Grass," the elder replied.

"Restoring Tendon Grass?" Long Chen murmured the name. He had never heard of it and knew nothing of its properties.

"Yes." The elder nodded and, seeing the puzzled look on Long Chen’s face, he explained, "This Restoring Tendon Grass is one of the most crucial main ingredients. With this herb and my treatment methods, she can make a full recovery!"

Long Chen asked again, "Then where can this Restoring Tendon Grass be found?"

"There’s no rush." The elder shook his head. "Finding the Restoring Tendon Grass is no easy task. Moreover, it requires the right timing."

Long Chen looked at the elder in confusion.

The elder continued, "The Restoring Tendon Grass can only be found within the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land. And the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land opens only once a year."

"What?"

"It only opens once a year?" Long Chen’s expression grew grim. "Doesn’t that mean we have no chance?"

"That’s right, it only opens once a year. She can’t hold on that long," Cai Qing frowned. "Is there really no other way besides the Restoring Tendon Grass?"

"Don’t you two worry yet," the elder said slowly. "Young man, you’re in luck."

"The Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land has not opened yet this year. It will open in two weeks. As for your friend’s current condition, her situation has stabilized after my treatment. Holding on for two more weeks won’t be a problem."

"When the time comes, as long as you bring back the Restoring Tendon Grass, I can certainly wake her."

Hearing this, the heavy weight on Long Chen’s heart finally lifted slightly.

The elder walked toward the door, then said to Long Chen, "Come outside with me for a moment."

"Alright." Long Chen nodded slightly and, before leaving, asked Cai Qing to watch over Chu Lingjun.

Only after Cai Qing agreed did he follow the elder outside, his mind somewhat at ease.

Once they were outside, Long Chen clasped his hands in a respectful salute. "Senior, thank you for being willing to treat my friend! I have yet to ask for Senior’s name."

"Feng Ziyuan."

The elder then took out a token and handed it to Long Chen. "Take this. You will need it to enter the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Land."

Long Chen took the token with both hands and glanced at the characters engraved on it. "Guiyuan Academy?"

"Correct." Feng Ziyuan nodded. "I told you that if you want me to save your friend, you must agree to my conditions. You haven’t forgotten, have you?"

"Of course not." Long Chen replied directly, "Senior Feng, just tell me what you need me to do."

Feng Ziyuan said, "I want you to become a member of Guiyuan Academy. From now on, the Academy’s business is your business!"

"Senior Feng, what exactly is Guiyuan Academy?" Long Chen asked curiously.

"Here in the God-Devil Domain, Guiyuan Academy is merely a Third-class Power," Feng Ziyuan sighed softly. "In recent years, several powers have been vying in the shadows to advance to the rank of a Second-class Power. The competition is fierce."

Long Chen asked tentatively, "I presume Senior Feng holds a significant position in Guiyuan Academy."

Feng Ziyuan paused for a moment. "Forget it. That’s all in the past."

"I can see you have exceptional talent. You’re a promising seedling worth cultivating. From now on, make Guiyuan Academy your home."

"Understood. Since I, Long Chen, have promised, I will keep my word!"

Long Chen nodded slightly. Seeing that Feng Ziyuan was unwilling to elaborate, he didn’t press the matter.

However, he could roughly guess the truth. Feng Ziyuan had secluded himself from the world for many years, yet he still cared so deeply for Guiyuan Academy. He must have a profound emotional attachment to it.

"Very good." Feng Ziyuan nodded, satisfied with Long Chen’s words. "Since you have become a member of my Guiyuan Academy, I shall give you a grand gift!"

As his words fell, Feng Ziyuan suddenly spun around, pressing two fingers to Long Chen’s forehead.

Long Chen’s entire body shuddered. A pained expression crossed his face. He felt a searing heat burn at the spot between his eyebrows, as if he were being scorched by fire.
