Chapter 83 [Reversed Celestial Spirit!]（7000 words）
Chen Yan turned his head and saw Mrs. He staring at him with wide eyes.
After a few seconds, Mrs. He finally took a deep breath: "You, that move you just did was..."
Chen Yan remained expressionless: "Sword in the Mother’s Hand, cleaving the enemy’s body."
"..." Mrs. He rolled her eyes directly: "Do you think I’m blind? That move was clearly the Gu Family’s [Formless Tribulation-breaking Slash]! I’ve seen Gu family disciples use it in the Domain Realm!"
Speaking, Mrs. He frowned at Chen Yan: "Strange... Just what background do you have? The Ghost Race Lord Venerable is your grandmother, yet you know the Gu Family’s ultimate move?"
Chen Yan watched this old lady, who was still bleeding from her mouth as she spoke, and sighed: "You should treat your injury first. I didn’t bring any healing elixirs with me; do you have any here?"
Mrs. He shook her head: "Don’t worry, I won’t die. This injury was caused by mana, external wounds are easy to heal, but the damage to my Primordial Qi can only be slowly nursed back. It might take about thirty to fifty years to recover."
Chen Yan let out a breath of relief.
As long as she won’t die.
I’m still waiting for you to tell me about Chen Jue.
Don’t end up like that sword cultivator brother, who couldn’t finish a sentence before he was gone.
Chen Yan helped Mrs. He up, who was coughing blood as she opened the stone door with a wave. The two left the stone chamber and entered the corridor outside.
Further down the right side of the corridor, there was a smaller stone door with a Copper Eight Trigrams hanging on it.
Mrs. He stared at the Copper Eight Trigrams for a while before saying: "This is the alchemy room within the cave. Help me inside to rest."
Inside, the room was much smaller, but in the center stood an alchemy furnace about one meter high, neither metallic nor stone, with an unknown composition.
Chen Yan had never seen such a thing before, so he walked up and pretended to casually touch it. It felt warm, like a natural heater, gently radiating heat.
"This alchemy furnace is something I brought out from the Domain Realm. My mentor once practiced dual cultivation of elixir and sword. Unfortunately, my aptitude was insufficient, and I could only choose the path of sword cultivation, unable to master even one percent of my mentor’s alchemy."
Mrs. He sighed deeply, pointing at the alchemy furnace: "This thing is a treasure. Since you helped me greatly today, I am giving it to you. With a grandparent like the Ghost Race Lord Venerable, your future achievements will surely be extraordinary, and this alchemy furnace won’t be wasted in your hands."
Chen Yan watched the alchemy furnace for a moment, his face calm, but inwardly he was a bit worried.
Such a big thing, how am I supposed to take it with me?
I can’t just carry it out , can I?
I don’t have those legendary cultivation treasures or any storage magical artifacts.
Fortunately, Mrs. He took a deep breath, pointed at the alchemy furnace with a finger, and cast a spell. The furnace began to spin rapidly, reducing in size with each turn, until it became as small as a thumb.
Mrs. He beckoned, and the alchemy furnace flew into her hand, which she then handed to Chen Yan.
When Chen Yan received it, he felt the furnace still radiating heat. Mrs. He said: "Do you see that row of stone cabinets against the wall? Look in the first compartment on the left, there’s a gourd. Bring it to me."
Chen Yan casually put the alchemy furnace into his coat, and indeed saw the row of stone cabinets, each with a stone compartment.
He walked over and found the orange gourd in the first compartment on the left, then handed it to Mrs. He. She opened the stopper and poured out two pitch-black elixirs.
Chen Yan squinted and observed with his Qi Observation Skill, noticing a faint flow of primordial qi and a slight herbal aroma from the elixirs.
Mrs. He pondered for a moment, then swallowed both elixirs and sat cross-legged in a corner of the room, closing her eyes.
After a while, Chen Yan sensed a slight recovery in Mrs. He’s primordial qi. Her once pale face now had a hint of color.
Mrs. He opened her eyes and exhaled: "I’m sorry to keep you waiting, come and sit down. I promised to tell you everything you want to know."
Chen Yan then walked over and sat on a stone platform facing Mrs. He.
Mrs. He thought for a while, then slowly began to speak: "Let me tell you, my surname is ’You Su.’ I am a descendant of the You Su Clan, one of the four major families of the Fox Race in the Domain Realm. My full name is You Su Yi."
As she spoke, Mrs. He casually drew a few strokes on the stone slab with her finger, easily piercing it and writing her name.
Chen Yan’s heart stirred; what a peculiar name. Mostly because... it really took advantage!
Everyone who sees her would have to call her ’Aunt’...
Though thinking this in his heart, Chen Yan still respectfully cupped his hands: "So, it is Fellow Taoist You Su. My respects!"
"The person you killed earlier belonged to the Qingqiu White Fox Clan, the same clan as mine. Her name... Forget it, she’s dead, no need to mention it." Mrs. He shook her head and slowly said: "Decades ago, we committed a grave offense in the Domain Realm. Our clan could not tolerate us, so we fled together to this world."
"Hmm." Chen Yan nodded, showing no expression.
