The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Chen Dong walked over to Xiao Pan's body and snapped coldly at Cai Feiyu, "Move!"

Cai Feiyu looked up at Chen Dong, her face streaked with tears, showing no intention of moving aside.

Chen Dong asked, "Do you want me to save him or not? Even a Profound Pill Realm cultivator will die if they remain on the brink of death for too long!"

A complicated look filled Cai Feiyu's eyes. Finally, she scrambled to her feet and retreated to the side.

Chen Dong first fed Xiao Pan a medicinal pill, then tossed six Top-Grade Spirit Stones around him. A water-element Recovery Array formed in an instant.

Aided by the Array's power, Chen Dong's hand seals changed rapidly. Within the ten-foot-wide Array, a deep blue luminescence floated up as beads of water began to gather.

Nearby, Li Zhixuan exclaimed in astonishment, "That's the Celestial Water Healing Technique!"

Meng Xuejing quickly asked, "What's the Celestial Water Healing Technique?"

Li Zhixuan remained silent, offering no answer.

It was no wonder he reacted so strongly. The Celestial Water Healing Technique was a Magic from the Yuqing Immortal Technique, and an exceedingly difficult one at that. Even if one mastered it, they would need to be at the Nascent Soul Stage to use it. Chen Dong was only able to cast it at his current realm by relying on the Array.

This was the only Magic that Chen Dong had managed to comprehend from the Yuqing Immortal Technique in all the time he'd possessed it.

Ordinary healing methods were barely effective on the injuries of a Profound Pill Realm expert, let alone wounds inflicted by the Sun Burning True Skill. If a common technique would have worked, Chen Dong wouldn't have been willing to part with six Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

A top-tier Magic was a top-tier Magic. Instantly, the wounds on Xiao Pan's body began to change in a way visible to the naked eye.

Under the effect of the water droplets, new flesh and skin began to grow back over his charred body. The residual True Fire energy within him also dissipated under the Celestial Water Healing Technique.

Xiao Pan's vanished aura faintly began to emanate once more.

When the Magic ended, the wounds on Xiao Pan's body were completely healed, as good as new, but he did not wake up. After all, he had been beaten to the brink of death, and his Divine Sense had sunk into a stupor. The Celestial Water Healing Technique didn't treat the Divine Sense.

Chen Dong had no intention of continuing the treatment. 'Considering the father-daughter dynamic in the Xiao Family, it might not be a good thing for him to wake up right now.'

So Chen Dong announced, "Your Sect Leader is healed. He just needs to rest for a day, and he will wake up!"

The members of the Xuanwu Sect bowed in thanks once more. Their Sect Leader's aura couldn't be faked; they could all sense it.

Qin Yun had also been brought over while Chen Dong was performing the treatment.

The moment she saw Chen Dong, Qin Yun's heart trembled. 'How I want to go up and hug him, to tell him everything I've been through.' But she found she couldn't bring herself to do it.

'The distance between the man Chen Dong is now and me is just too great. He's unreachable.'

'I don't have the right to embrace him.'

Her racing heart slowed. Guilt surged through Qin Yun once more. Chen Dong's investment of tens of billions had been completely lost under her management.

At this thought, she felt even more ashamed to face Chen Dong.

She immediately crouched down and began to cry.

Luo Hua rushed forward. "Yun'Er, what's wrong? Are you hurt? Did they bully you...?"

Chen Dong averted his gaze from Qin Yun and spoke coldly to the people of the Cai Family and the Xuanwu Sect, "Your business is settled. Now, let's talk about mine. Eastern Entertainment is my company. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Everyone present lowered their heads. No one dared to look at Chen Dong, and no one answered him.

Chen Dong snorted. "What's the meaning of this? Perhaps my methods weren't persuasive enough?"

Cai Feiyu wiped away a tear. "Fine, we'll compensate you! Why are you being so aggressive?!"

Chen Dong was momentarily speechless. 'Somehow, I'm the bad guy in all this.'

But money wasn't what Chen Dong wanted most. He continued, "You were after the Luo Family's Spirit Root, so you must have a method for using it. I want to see this Magic."

Cai Feiyu snatched a pendant from her neck and threw it at Chen Dong. "Take it! Just take it! I never wanted some stupid Spirit Root in the first place!"

Xiao Gui quickly cried out, "Miss, that's..."

"But what? Can you beat him? If he wants it, then just let him have it!"

Chen Dong caught the pendant. The charm hanging from it was actually a jade slip.

Having gotten what he came for, Chen Dong turned to Li Zhixuan and the others. "Xiaoli, let's go!"

The group got back into the van, ready to return to the Luo Family Manor. During the ride, Qin Yun desperately wanted to talk to Chen Dong but had no idea how to begin. Before they met, she felt she had a million things to say, but now that he was here, she couldn't utter a single word.

Meanwhile, in the van, Chen Dong was focused on studying the jade slip.

He pressed it to the space between his eyebrows and extended his Divine Sense into it. The jade slip not only contained the record of the Root Shifting Technique but also another Magic that left Chen Dong stunned.

The Marriage Pill Technique!

'The person who developed these two techniques was definitely an Evil Cultivator,' he thought. 'Even if they created them for their descendants who lacked Spirit Roots, these are without a doubt the work of an Evil Cultivator.'

'First, the Root Shifting Technique. The person who has their Spirit Root taken from them will become an imbecile at best, and die at worst. Furthermore, the Spirit Root will drop one rank after being transferred. A Top-Grade Spirit Root will become a High-Grade Spirit Root, a High-Grade Spirit Root will become a Mid-Grade Spirit Root, and so on. A person can only undergo the transfer once.'

'A Top-Grade Spirit Root is a one-in-ten-million treasure. Finding one is only slightly more likely than winning the lottery. This explains why Xiao Pan, even with the Root Shifting Technique, still went to such lengths to plot for the Luo Family's Top-Grade Spirit Root. He must have been searching all this time; otherwise, he wouldn't have left the Luo Family alone for so long.'

'However, they didn't know that the Luo Family's Spirit Root hadn't been properly preserved and was no longer usable. Perhaps Xiao Pan had a method to reactivate it, but that was something Chen Dong couldn't know.'

'And as vicious as the Root Shifting Technique is, the Marriage Pill Technique is even worse!'
