Chapter 1314: Chapter 1313: Astonishing Past

As an elder-level figure, Desan knew many things about the Nie Family, especially some taboo matters. It wasn’t that no one in the Nie Family opposed them—he was one of those—but unfortunately, fewer and fewer people dared to oppose, because those people were all mysteriously disappearing one after another.

Back then Desan considered himself a Nie Family elder; even if he opposed, the Nie Family wouldn’t dare do anything to him. In fact that was true—for even Nie Yunsheng had to yield three points to him. But all of this completely changed after the Pengge Sect came up with that plan.

The Pengge Sect wanted to breed a super, peerless genius!

The Pengge Sect somehow obtained a Xuan Talisman that could nurture a special constitution. If a pregnant woman drank this Xuan Talisman, there was a certain chance that the fetus in her womb would become a special constitution!

In an ordinary clan or sect, this would surely be regarded as utterly absurd—but the Pengge Sect had obtained it deep within Jiulong Mountain.

Just the three words "Jiulong Mountain" were enough to draw the gaze of countless people. That place had once been the cradle of the Ancient Xuan Medical Civilization; it was said to contain extremely abundant treasures of that civilization, including many lost formulas, and it was even covered with precious medicinal herbs.

Unfortunately no one had ever truly gone inside. There was a natural barrier sealing that place off; no one had seen its true face, and no one had truly entered. Some clan sects with strong overall power and deep coffers had ventured to its fringes, and the benefits they obtained there were already endless.

The Pengge Sect’s Xuan Talisman was acquired there.

Once a Xuan Talisman is made, as long as the talisman is kept intact, there’s no such thing as an expiration date. So when the Pengge Sect obtained that Xuan Talisman, they immediately sealed it up with the utmost care, brought it back to the sect, and began searching for a suitable candidate.

At that time Nie Xuejiao, already more than a month pregnant, was chosen. This kind of Xuan Talisman was naturally best taken in the early stages of pregnancy, and Nie Xuejiao and her husband were both outstanding Mystic Doctors with a high starting point, so the effects would be better if they took it.

Nie Xuejiao knew that drinking this Xuan Talismanic water would entail many possible outcomes, but everyone hopes their own child can possess better gifts, so she took a gamble and drank the talismanic water.

Unfortunately, she lost the bet.

She lost to kinship, lost to profit.

At the time the Nie Family was already a leading clan, its overall strength suppressing all other clan sects. When the Pengge Sect "unintentionally" let this matter slip, the Nie Family began persecuting Nie Xuejiao!

Back then Nie Yunde—Desan—did not know about this. As soon as the Nie Family learned of it, they sent him out to a place over a thousand kilometers away, making it impossible for him to return in a short time. It was only after Nie Xuejiao was forced to flee the Pengge Sect that Desan finally received word; yet by the time he rushed back, it was already far too late.

Enraged, Desan clashed violently with Nie Yunsheng, but the Nie Family had long since prepared. After Nie Yunsheng, together with several clan youths, severely injured Desan, Desan completely broke with the Nie Family, left his homeland far behind, and began searching for Nie Xuejiao.

At that time, almost everyone who knew about it believed Nie Xuejiao could not possibly survive. She had been wounded by Nie Yunsheng’s fighting talisman, the strike directly damaging her vital organs; let alone her, even the child in her belly had no chance of living.

Yet man proposes, heaven disposes. During her years in the Pengge Sect, Nie Xuejiao had fused the learning of two lineages, and had also unintentionally obtained the method to condense an Inheritance Pearl. Back then she had only been curious; she never imagined that one day she would actually end up using it.
