Longevity Begins with Internal Organs

Chapter 670 - 397: Profound Fox Jade Canon—Hidden Mysteries Within

It must be said, Zhao Ya’s current medical skill is as profound as his expertise in Poison Dao. Although not yet at the point of reviving the dead and regrowing flesh on bones, it could still be described as divine.After applying the medicine, within just a moment, the condition of these women improved greatly. Although they weren’t completely healed yet, it was no longer hindering their movement.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya immediately led this group of people out of the valley.

As for the corpses of the members of the Python God Sect, the wild animals in the mountains and forests would naturally take care of them.

Coming out from the Python God Tribe, and heading all the way south, after crossing countless jungles, the path suddenly opened up, revealing a large open space.

The surface of this open space was ashen, but the air was filled with the scent of rotting flora and fauna, and the suspicious puddles scattered about proved that this was a vast swamp.

"After crossing this swamp, we will reach the former site of our Profound Fox Tribe," Liu Yujiao said softly, her expression complex.

There was a sense of sadness at returning to a familiar place where everything had changed, as well as anger and fear recalling the tragic events of the past.

Zhao Ya nodded and followed alongside the women’s footsteps, walking along the path through the swamp.

This swamp was vast and filled with danger everywhere.

A moment’s inattention could easily lead to being trapped, swallowed by the soft mud.

Naturally, Zhao Ya was not afraid.

With his current mastery of Lightweight Skill, he could ensure that he wouldn’t sink even while walking on the swamp.

But it was not the same for others.

Without these women familiar with the terrain leading the way, ordinary martial artists would really find it difficult to get through.

So how did the Python God Tribe attack in the past?

It seemed that Liu Yujiao sensed Zhao Ya’s question. Or perhaps she just wanted to express herself and said softly, "When Jingping Saint attacked our tribe, he charged in alone with overwhelming strength."

"For that, we admitted defeat willingly, but the Python God Sect was different. They bribed a traitor, sneaked in while we were unprepared, and launched a surprise attack."

At this point, Liu Yujiao’s face showed deep disgust, and then she said with some schadenfreude, "But what the traitor didn’t know was, after the Python God Sect achieved their goal, she was the first to die, fed to the snakes in the Python God Cave while fully conscious."

In fact, Zhao Ya hadn’t asked about any of this; it was all Liu Yujiao narrating on her own.

Zhao Ya listened quietly the whole time.

Finally, they crossed the vast swamp and arrived at a rise in the land.

The surrounding mountains encircled them, offering breathtaking scenery.

Combined with being shielded by the swamp in front and the mountains behind, it was an ideal place to live.

And on this high ground, there were large areas of burnt ruins.

From the scale of these ruins, one could tell that the Profound Fox Tribe was once very prosperous.

Sadly, under the onslaught of calamities, only these weak women remained in the end.

Seeing what had become of their once-home, the women all showed sorrowful expressions.

Liu Yujiao, however, quickly calmed down and said sternly, "Stop crying, let’s find the Jade Canon for the master first!"

Saying that, she led the group towards the back of the ruins.

When they reached a large boulder, Liu Yujiao began searching around it.

After a while, as if finding the exact spot, she immediately started digging with her hands.

With the help of the women beside her, they soon dug out a deep pit.

Zhao Ya watched from a short distance away.

Suddenly.

He glimpsed a stone box appear at the bottom of the pit, causing his eyes to light up.

Could this be the Sacred Object Jade Canon passed down through generations by the Profound Fox Tribe that Liu Yujiao mentioned?

At that moment, Liu Yujiao and the women struggled to lift this stone box out of the pit.

"Master, this is something our High Priest had us bury after sensing something ominous. That’s why the members of the Python God Sect were never able to find it despite multiple searches. I present it to you now as a token of our gratitude."

Saying this, Liu Yujiao opened the lid with effort.

And Zhao Ya’s eyes immediately brightened.

For as soon as the lid was lifted, an ancient and desolate aura rushed out towards him.

This proved that Liu Yujiao had not lied.

This Jade Canon was indeed the Sacred Object passed down through generations by the Profound Fox Tribe, or it wouldn’t emanate such a vast and powerful aura.

Curious, Zhao Ya leaned in to take a closer look.

Inside the stone box was a jade scroll that looked like a book, engraved with many complex and mysterious patterns.

No wonder it was called the Jade Canon.

Zhao Ya reached out and gently touched the Jade Canon.

At the moment of contact, countless images flashed through Zhao Ya’s mind.

But when he tried to capture these images in detail, they vanished without a trace.

It was as if a sudden power outage had occurred.

Besides this, there were no other abnormal occurrences, not even absorbing and storing the Power of Faith inside like the Divine Statues of the Python God Sect would allow.

Yet, Zhao Ya grew even more curious.

Although the images from that fleeting moment weren’t clear, Zhao Ya sensed the extraordinary nature of the Jade Scroll from that brief glimpse.

Could it be that his perception ability still wasn’t strong enough to decipher its mysteries?
