Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

After the Canaanite affair was concluded, the Soul Palace took action.For the next month or so, Shen Wen hardly stepped outside, pouring all his energy into Alchemy.

Inside the Quiet Room, the flames of the heaven burning cauldron barely ever extinguished.

Batch after batch of Dou Ling Pill, Huangji Pill, and Break-Sect Pill were produced one after another, sorted by category, and placed into jade bottle.

Thanks to the operations of the previous Black-Corner Region auction and the channels of the Black Emperor Sect, a massive amount of medicinal ingredients were continuously delivered to Jia Nan Academy, supporting such astonishing consumption.

Otherwise, relying solely on the Snake-People Clan’s own reserves, it would have been extremely difficult to gather such a variety and quantity of medicinal ingredients.

When the last batch of special healing Medicinal Pill for the Snake-People Clan was finished, Shen Wen brought two specially made jade bottle and found Su Qian.

”Elder Su, this time returning to the Central Plains, I must trouble the Academy to keep an eye on matters in the Northwest.”

Shen Wen placed the jade bottle on the table and got straight to the point.

Su Qian’s gaze swept over the jade bottle, and upon feeling the strange space fluctuations contained within, his heart skipped a beat: ”Young Friend Shen, this is...”

”Two zong ji pill.” Shen Wen’s tone was calm. ”This is not a reward, but a small token of my appreciation.”

”I only ask that the Academy, within its capabilities, make things convenient for the Snake-People Clan remaining in the Northwest.”

”There is no need to intervene in any disputes they might have; just... ensure that some blind fools do not go looking for trouble with them.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qian immediately understood Shen Wen’s meaning.

He was borrowing the prestige of Jia Nan Academy in this region to raise an invisible protective umbrella for the Snake-People Clan, shielding them from unnecessary harassment and probing.

As for the challenges or struggles the Snake-People Clan themselves face, the Academy need not intervene.

”Elder Shen, rest assured!” Su Qian immediately agreed solemnly and carefully put away the jade bottle. ”The Snake-People Clan lives adjacent to the Academy, so we should look out for each other. I have noted this matter.”

Not to mention the two zong ji pill that would make any Dou Zong tempted, Shen Wen’s resolution of the Fallen Heart Flame threat for the Academy, along with the unfathomable potential and background he had displayed, made him worthy of Jia Nan Academy’s full efforts to befriend him.

Su Qian was more than willing to do this favor.

Having handled this matter, Shen Wen found Xiao Yan and Yao Lao who were sparring in the back mountain of the Academy.

”Are you leaving?” Yao Lao’s Soul body drifted over, his voice gentle.

Xiao Yan put away his ruler and stood still, wiping off his sweat as he looked at Shen Wen.

”Yes, matters in the Northwest are finished; it is time to return to the Central Plains.” Shen Wen nodded and said to Xiao Yan, ”See you in the Central Plains. The world there is vast, with many more experts, and your path lies there as well.”

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future, but also a hint of gravity.

Shen Wen seemed to suddenly remember something; his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yan with a faint smile: ”Oh right, there is something you might be interested in.”

Xiao Yan was stunned: ”What is it?”

”Purification Lotus Demon Flame...” Shen Wen slowly spat out the four words. Watching Xiao Yan’s body instantly tense up and his eyes suddenly light up, he leisurely finished, ”...remnant map.”

Xiao Yan’s breath hitched, and his hand gripping the xuan heavy ruler tightened involuntarily. Yao Lao’s Soul fluctuations also clearly fluctuated.

”The remnant map is in my hands.” Shen Wen’s tone was relaxed. ”If you want it, you can come find me when you reach the Central Plains. However...”

He paused, his smile carrying a hint of playfulness. ”You must bring something that moves me to trade for it. Equal value, or... ’capital’ that makes me feel it is worth trading.”

He did not say it definitively, leaving enough space and temptation.

Watching the thoughts churning in Xiao Yan’s eyes, Shen Wen stepped forward and patted his shoulder, smiling: ”Work hard, young man.”

”The Central Plains is not like the Northwest; if you want to get what you want, you must rely on real ability.”
