"So, Xichen, can you please tell me honestly, what exactly did you want to do by looking for me and using all possible means to get me here?"
"Don't be nervous." Xi Chen smiled and said, "I didn't lie to you. I only came to you because you are my only hope."
"What? Hope? Me?" So he blinked, confused.
"This happened a long time ago." Smiling warmly at Su Yin, Xi Chen stood up and explained slowly with his back to Su Yin, "Before I became the head of the Xi family, I was too eager for quick success and took risks to master our Xi family's supreme technique. Although I ultimately achieved great success, my body's tendons and veins began to weaken bit by bit."
"At first, I had mastered my magical skills and didn't care about it. But after I finally succeeded in seizing the Xi family, I discovered that my tendons and veins had already become necrotic in many places. This decline has continued with my age. If this continues, my meridians will eventually become completely exhausted and I will no longer be able to exert any spiritual power."
Su Yin looked at Xi Chen's back, remained silent for a moment, and frowned. Su Yin still couldn't imagine what Xi Chen was like when he was young. Now he was so steady and composed. What happened? Was it because he was impatient for quick success?
Su Yin asked in confusion, "Then what does this have to do with me?"
Xi Chen shook his head and continued calmly, "After I became the head of the Xi family, I secretly concealed everything. At the same time, I secretly sent a large number of spies to search for a cure for this disease, but to no avail."
"In the following years, in order to stabilise the Xi family's rebellion, my tendons and veins weakened even more severely. I couldn't even absorb the spiritual power of a spiritual cultivator. Every time I used spiritual power, I would feel excruciating pain all over my body."
"So, you thought of Shenghan Mountain?" Su Yin asked Xi Chen, suddenly remembering something.
Xi Chen nodded slowly. "I heard that there is a treasure in Shenghan Mountain that possesses the highest and most extraordinary divine power in the world. Whoever obtains it can heal all the strange injuries in the world and greatly increase their power."
Xi Chen concentrated his thoughts and continued, "It is said that the prototype of this treasure was a piece of jade, which was split into four pieces when it was born and scattered all over the world."
Xi Chen shook his head and paced slowly around the room, saying, "As for the exact location and appearance of these precious jades, no one knows. It was said that a hundred years ago that the Demon King Qian Yue unified the fragmented demon world with the help of one of these jades."
"A hundred years ago, the demon king Qian Yue led the demon world in a war against Shenghan, forcing Shenghan Mountain to sacrifice the sacred treasure that suppressed Shenghan Mountain, which was the other quarter of the jade. It was thanks to the power of this jade that Shenghan was able to defeat Qian Yue at the last moment. Since then, no one has seen Qian Yue since. Some say he died along with the leader of Shenghan Mountain, while others say he is not dead. But no one knows the truth."
"After this battle, Sheng Hanshan retreated into the mountains and no longer cared about worldly affairs."
"No one knows what happened a hundred years ago, but the only thing I can be sure of is that the precious jade must still be in Shenghan Mountain."
