Shen Xuan's expression instantly turned ugly when he heard this. He was not unfamiliar with the word seal. It could be said that there was almost no one on the Dou Qi continent who did not know of something like a seal.
There were many ways to use seals in the world, and their effects were also different. However, most of the seals could cause harm to the human body.
"Teacher, is there really a seal in my body?”After a moment of silence, Shen Xuan broke the silence and asked.
"I should be right. That seal is hidden quite well. If I had not been careful, I would not have been able to detect it!”Elder Shi nodded with a grave expression. His expression was quite ugly when he saw a seal being planted in the body of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old youth. Moreover, this youth was his disciple.
Elder Shi sighed when he saw that Shen Xuan's expression was a little ugly. He continued," Relax your body and mind. I will go in and take a look. With the powerful devouring strength of the Nihility Devouring Flame, it is likely that it will be able to break it."”
Shen Xuan nodded slightly. After which, he sat down cross-legged and narrowed his eyes. Elder Shi immediately turned into a black light and rushed into his mind. After which, he sensed a familiar aura that was continuously swimming within his body.
However, he was unable to understand the details. Since there was a seal in his body, and the seal had existed for so many years without being detected by the former, it was likely that this seal was quite powerful.
Elder Shi did not remain idle as he inspected his body. He continued to control the Dou Qi within his body to repair the Qi Paths that had been damaged earlier. Although the speed was quite slow, the healing of his body continued to proceed in this manner…
This continued for nearly an hour before Shen Xuan clearly sensed a familiar aura suddenly rush out from the Dou Qi vortex. A joy surged onto his face.
"Teacher, how is it?" Seeing Elder Shi appear, Shen Xuan asked impatiently.
"Someone has indeed planted a seal in your body.”Elder Shi narrowed his eyes and said. Hearing this, the former's heart sank. There was actually a seal planted in his body, and he actually didn't notice it all these years!
"Teacher, what seal is this? Is there a way to break it?" He asked softly after pondering for a moment.
"This seal seems a little strange. Even with my experience, I can't recognize it. Its effect is a little strange. It seems to be able to suppress the potential of the human body, causing the cultivation speed of the sealed person to become extremely slow. Moreover, if he was unable to break it before a Da Dou Shi, it was likely that he could forget about breaking through to the Da Dou Shi class.”Elder Shi seemed to be preparing for this to continue. After being silent for a long while, he said.
"As for the method to break it, there is no problem. It is likely that the person who used the seal is afraid of hurting you. Hence, the seal strength within your body is quite weak. It is not difficult for you to break it with your Devouring Power.”
Hearing this, Shen Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. If it was just suppressing the potential of the human body, it would not harm him much. His talent had been mediocre all these years, and it was probably because of this thing.
When he heard that there was a way to break it, his eyes lit up. It would be best if he could break it. After all, no one wanted to plant such a ticking time bomb in their bodies.
"Teacher, shall we crack it now?”Shen Xuan smilingly looked at Elder Shi and said.
"Of course, there is a way to break it, but we still have to wait a while. Firstly, your broken body can't withstand the backlash when the seal is broken.”
"Secondly…" A crafty and strange expression suddenly surged onto Elder Shi's face as he said,"It is not a bad thing to have the restriction of this seal. Right now, you are only a four star Dou Zhe. If you want to improve, the restriction of the seal will make you need to put in several times more effort than others. This way, your foundation will be extremely stable. It will undoubtedly be very beneficial to your future achievements!”
"Moreover, I will teach you a Spiritual Control Method. You should carefully study it during this period of time. Once you have broken through to the Dou Shi class, you will not need me to do anything. You will be able to solve it yourself.”
Shen Xuan also smiled when he heard this. From the looks of it, this seal was not a bad thing. However, it was likely that he would not be able to obtain much improvement before he broke through to the Dou Shi class.
He rubbed his nose gloomily, but he did not complain. This outcome was considered not bad. Moreover, Elder Shi said that there were benefits, so he naturally did not have any doubts.
" Now…it's time to go back…" Shen Xuan raised his head as a cold glint flashed across his bright eyes. After enduring for so long, it was time to pay back…
……
When he walked out of the cave, it was already pitch-black outside. He glanced at the moon hanging in the sky, and with the help of the faint moonlight, he quickly flew toward a small town at the foot of the mountain.
The small town was called Duan Hun Town. It was close to the Bewitching Mountain Range. Duan Hun Town was the only small town built in the surrounding mountain range.
There were hundreds of residents in the small town. Most of them were Dou Zhe who practiced Dou Qi. There was also a mercenary group called the Hunter Mercenary Group in this small town. Most of the residents in the small town were members of this mercenary group.
Shen Xuan and his son were naturally no exception. They were also members of this mercenary group. However, their strength was slightly weaker, so they would not follow the majority of the mercenary group to hunt in the mountain range. Instead, they relied on picking some medicinal herbs on the outskirts of the mountain range to survive.
As he walked on the not-so-wide street of Duan Hun Town, Shen Xuan glanced around. Although it was already night time, it was still brightly lit. There were quite a number of burly men using their loud voices to peddle the things in front of their stalls. Most of them were medicinal herbs, beast meat, and occasionally, Demon Cores. However, the stalls selling Demon Cores were mostly crowded.
On this continent, a monster core was a rather expensive luxury item.
As the name suggested, Monster Cores were crystals that were formed from the energy within the body of a Magical Beast after many years of training. The energy contained within them was extremely pure. If one could absorb it, the speed at which one trained their Dou Qi would greatly increase.
Shen Xuan was naturally not in the mood to look at this. In the small town, this was happening every day. They went into the mountains to hunt. If they were lucky, they would be able to hunt some good Magical Beasts and sell them for a good price. If they were unlucky, they might not get anything. It was not surprising that they might even die in the stomachs of some high-level magical beasts.
He increased his speed and ran towards a remote straw hut in the northwest direction of the town. This slightly dilapidated wooden house was the father and son's home in Broken Soul Town.
Creak...
The wooden door was clearly a little worn out. As Shen Xuan pushed open the door, a creaking sound as if it could not bear the weight of the door could be heard. Inside the room, a middle-aged man squatted on the ground and used the faint light to pick up the weeds from the herbs on the ground.
When the middle-aged man heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he didn't raise his head. He continued to do what he was doing. Then, he said indifferently," You're back?"”
"Yes, Father." Shen Xuan nodded slightly. He seemed to be used to the former's attitude. He then took out the green herb from his bosom and grinned." My luck is pretty good today. I found a Green Hell Grass. I think I can sell it for a good price."”
The middle-aged man finally stopped what he was doing when he heard this. He slowly raised his head. There was an imperceptible sharpness between his brows. However, there was a lot of disappointment that he did not hide.
The middle-aged man shot a glance at Shen Xuan with his slightly turbid eyes. Only then did he extend his rough hand and receive the medicinal herbs. Without even looking at them, he threw them into the pile of medicinal herbs.
This middle-aged man was Shen Xuan's father, Shen Changtian.
Shen Xuan did not know how long he had lived in this small town. From the moment he could remember, he had been in this small town. He had never heard any news about his mother. However, as long as he mentioned this matter to Chen Changtian, the latter would become furious. Because of this, he had been beaten up quite a few times. Therefore, he would not take the initiative to ask now.
The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. In the days after that, neither of them mentioned it, but he firmly remembered this matter in his heart. He felt that this matter was not so simple.
"You don't have to go to the mountains tomorrow. There are still a lot of herbs left.”After throwing the Green Hell Grass into the pile of herbs, Chen Changtian suddenly spoke.
Shen Xuan nodded his head. After which, he picked up a bowl of steaming hot food on the table and began to eat in big mouthfuls. Although Shen Changtian was rather cold to him, he had done a good job in these aspects.
After finishing the food in a few bites, he hesitated for a moment and then said," There's still half a month before the group's hunting party. Is father still not going to participate as usual?”
The Hunting Gathering was a trial for the younger generation of the Hunter Mercenary Group. The strength of the younger generation would be displayed in this Hunting Gathering. Those with good aptitude would be selected and nurtured.
In the past, Shen Changtian had never participated in the Hunting Meet, and he was also restricted from participating. He also knew that with his strength, he would only become a laughing stock if he went.
However, he could be considered to have advanced to a four star Dou Zhe now. He possessed quite a good strength among the younger generation. He was confident that he would not fall into a disadvantage even if he were to face Wang Han again by relying on this strange Devouring Power.
"Hmm?" Shen Changtian narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across Shen Xuan. There was a trace of surprise in his turbid eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"If you want to go, go ahead. The Hunting Association…isn't it prepared for you juniors?”Shen Changtian smiled self-deprecatingly, then stood up and walked into the room.
Shen Xuan was also delighted when he heard this. Being able to stand out among the younger generation meant that he would be able to obtain the focused nurturing of the mercenary company. Not only would he be able to randomly flip through some advanced Dou Techniques, but he would also be able to obtain some Spiritual Medicines. This was extremely beneficial to one's training speed.
He did not care about Dou Techniques. Now that he had Elder Shi as his teacher, he naturally did not lack Dou Techniques. However, he was still very concerned about Spiritual Medicines that aided his training. This kind of thing was something that one would find difficult to buy even if one had the money in Duan Hun Town.
Shen Xuan clenched his fists when he thought of this. He immediately relaxed his fists and tidied up the medicinal herbs on the ground. After which, he returned to his room.
