Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1299 Give way

"I made a mistake in my cultivation, which caused an excess of yang energy and a decline of yin energy in my body. The yin and yang were completely out of balance, and I almost exploded and died."

"For many years, we have only managed to suppress it with the help of Yin Yang Zhen Yuan."

"But now, this feng shui arrangement is no longer effective. Only the Xuan Yin Gathering Spirit Array, which draws the purest yin energy in the world, can harmonize it."

As he spoke, Situ Qingcang sniffed Jiang Xiaochuan again, a strange laugh escaping his throat:

“That brat is right, you have an extremely pure Yin energy on you.”

"As long as I use the formation to guide the yin energy out of your body and absorb and transform it, it will greatly alleviate the yang poison in my body!"

"You don't need to worry that I will do anything to you."

He seemed to see the doubt in Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes and added:

"This formation is ingeniously designed. It only absorbs the Yin energy that naturally dissipates or is actively guided within your body, and will never forcibly seize your source."

"Furthermore, I will tell you a key pivot of the formation. If you feel something is wrong, you can disconnect it yourself at any time."

As he spoke, he pointed to an inconspicuous node at the edge of the formation.

Jiang Xiaochuan looked in the direction he was pointing and observed intently.

The inheritance contains a detailed description of this formation. After a brief deduction, he confirmed that what Situ Qingcang said was true; that node was indeed a safety valve for the flow of energy in this formation.

By controlling it, one can decide whether to continue supplying energy.

"This junior will do as you please."

Having figured this out, Jiang Xiaochuan nodded.

"Then, Ancestor..."

Seeing that the important matter seemed to have been settled, Situ Zhen cautiously interjected, "Does this mean... Hong'er won't need to come here anymore?"

"The energy field here is too strong, and he's not a martial artist. If this goes on for too long, his body really won't be able to take it..."

"Ok?"

Situ Qingcang's gaze suddenly shifted to Situ Zhen, and the temperature in his eerie eyes instantly plummeted to freezing.

Stared at like that, Situ Zhen felt his scalp tingle and quickly lowered his head to explain:

“Ancestor, I didn’t mean anything by it! It’s just… Hong’er is, after all, your most beloved junior, and this place… this place is not a place for ordinary people to stay for long…”

"Use you to remind me?"

Situ Qingcang's eyes sharpened. "Since you also know that Hong'er is my most beloved son, why not let him come and keep this old man who is about to die company and talk to him more?"

"Of course!"

Situ Zhen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and dared not say another word.

Situ Qingcang stared at Situ Zhen, remained silent for a long while, and then suddenly said:

"I have made up my mind. After this matter is over, you will formally pass on the position of head of the family to Hong'er. After you leave, convey this message to him."

"what?!"

These words struck Situ Zhen like a thunderbolt.

Even Jiang Xiaochuan was quite surprised.

He never expected that Situ Qingcang would suddenly make such a decision.

Anyone with eyes can see that Situ Hong is simply not cut out to be the head of the family!

He has a carefree personality and no cunning or shrewdness. Even if you randomly grab someone off the street, they would probably be much better than him!

Besides, Situ Zhen is in his prime and has an exceptionally sharp mind.

Changing the head of the family at this time would be extremely detrimental to the Situ family, both in terms of internal stability and external perception, and could even trigger huge turmoil and crisis!

"Ancestor! You...you must reconsider!"

Situ Zhen was still in a state of extreme shock, his voice shrill, "Hong'er... he's not mature enough, how can he shoulder such a great responsibility? This... this concerns the Situ family's century-old foundation!"

"What? Do you have any objections?"

Situ Qingcang snorted coldly, "Or is it that... you've been sitting in the position of the head of the family for too long and are reluctant to leave?"

Situ Zhen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and an immense sorrow welled up from the bottom of his heart.

He never expected that his ancestor, whom he had always regarded as the pillar of the family, would say such a heart-wrenching thing!

"puff"

Situ Zhen immediately knelt down and touched the ground with his head:

"Ancestor! Your unfilial son Situ Zhen hereby swears that since assuming the position of family head, everything he has thought about and considered has been for the prosperity and continuation of the family!"

"If I harbor even the slightest desire for power or personal gain, may I be struck by lightning and my soul be annihilated! Ancestor, please bear witness!"

"enough!"

Situ Qingcang interrupted him without hesitation, his tone revealing a hint of impatience, "My mind is made up, no need for further words. You, leave!"

"Ancestor..."

Situ Zhen wanted to argue further.

"I said! Get out!"

Situ Qingcang suddenly raised his voice, and a violent burst of energy erupted with his shout!

Situ Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground, was directly hit by this force, and his face instantly turned ashen, with a trace of blood even spilling from the corner of his mouth.

He looked up and saw Situ Qingcang's cold eyes, and his heart trembled.

He could only slowly stand up, bow deeply, and leave the stone chamber dejectedly.

"Young friend, now... we can begin."

As Situ Zhen left, Situ Qingcang looked at Jiang Xiaochuan, and a strange peace returned to his expression.

"it is good."

Jiang Xiaochuan suppressed his doubts and anxieties and nodded.

He followed the instructions and walked to the glowing circular eye in the center of the formation, sat down cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and assumed a meditation posture.

Seeing this, Situ Qingcang's gaze lingered on Jiang Xiaochuan for a moment, and the sound of chains dragging rang out again.

He sat down not far from Jiang Xiaochuan.

The spot where they sat was exactly at the end of a straight line extending from the edge of the formation.

This straight line, like an energy channel, connects the array's core with Situ Qingcang.

"Now, slowly guide the Yin energy in your body out. There is no need to force it. The formation will absorb and guide it on its own."

Situ Qingcang's voice rang out softly, "Young friend, rest assured, I only need to achieve a temporary balance of Yin and Yang. Excessive absorption of Yin energy would be harmful to me as well, so you don't need to worry about it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaochuan's mind stirred slightly. He carefully separated a wisp of pure Yin energy from his dantian.

As the wisp of yin energy was guided out of the body, the temperature inside the stone chamber suddenly dropped a few degrees.

"Such pure Yin energy!"

Situ Qingcang's spirits lifted noticeably, his voice filled with undisguised longing.

At the same time, the array on the ground suddenly lit up with an even brighter light.

The wisp of yin energy was captured by the light condensed by the array.

Soon, it transformed into a thin, almost tangible black line.

Once the thin black line took shape, it slowly drifted toward the edge of the formation and then landed precisely on a straight line at the edge of the formation.

Following its trajectory, it flowed steadily toward the location of Situ Qingcang.

Before the thin lines of yin energy even arrived, a faint layer of black mist involuntarily spread around Situ Qingcang.

When the thin black thread finally flowed in front of him, the black mist around him rippled slightly and retreated, revealing a hint of fear.
