# Chapter 635: Invitation from the Su Family
Thirty jin... oh no, twenty-five jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal entered the Yun Family Medicine Pavilion, and the entire Yun Family was filled with a long-lasting jubilation. As for those one hundred Overlord Pills, Yun Qinghong had not yet announced them, because this was an even more shocking bombshell than the thirty jin of divine crystals. Even he himself had not yet fully calmed down from the shock brought by the hundred Overlord Pills.
Originally, the seventy jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal that Mo Li needed was a goal that seemed utterly unattainable for Yun Che. Before today, he had never even seen what it looked like, let alone obtained any. But today, he had suddenly obtained a full thirty jin.
"In that case, there's still forty jin left." Yun Che said with satisfaction. "Six years ago, when you mentioned seventy jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal, I was scared out of my wits. Who would have thought that in just six short years, I could suddenly get this much... After all, in name, I'm still the Young Family Head of the Yun Family, so I have to leave half behind. Don't worry, the remaining forty jin... won't take too long."
"...You mean, this thirty jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal is for me?" Mo Li said in a strange tone.
"Of course. Seventy jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal — that was something I solemnly promised you back then."
Mo Li spoke flatly: "Do you even know what this thirty jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal represents? It can forge hundreds of the highest-level large-scale profound formations in this world! It can keep a large Primordial Mystic Ark flying continuously for hundreds of years! It can refine countless supreme-grade medicinal pills. Moreover... you have the Dragon God's Body, protected by the Desolate God's Power, so you can directly absorb the spiritual energy within! Even if you never cultivated again and simply relied on absorbing its power, your profound strength could reach the peak of the Sovereign Xuan Realm within a dozen years, and it wouldn't be impossible to surpass even Xiao Yaohou."
"Are you sure you want to leave it all for me?"
Mo Li understood far better than Yun Che what thirty jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal meant — especially for Yun Che, it was a divine object among divine objects. Because the power within Purple Vein Divine Crystal was too high-level and potent to be absorbed directly. Forcibly absorbing it could at best damage one's profound veins, and at worst cause one's body to explode! Ordinary profound practitioners who wanted to absorb the power of Purple Vein Divine Crystal had to go through layers of refinement, with several powerful Sovereign Xuan Realm experts assisting on the side. The entire process had to be done with extreme care, and ultimately, the power they could truly claim as their own was less than ten percent... Yet even less than ten percent of the power from one jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal was equivalent to what an ordinary profound practitioner could obtain through a hundred or even several hundred years of arduous cultivation.
But Yun Che was different. He had the Dragon God's Body, the Phoenix and Golden Crow bloodlines, and the protection of the Great Dao Pagoda Art, so he could directly absorb the power of Purple Vein Divine Crystal... In just over a decade, he could reach the late stage of the Sovereign Xuan Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the world, without any need for cultivation or training. For any profound practitioner, this was an irresistible temptation.
Yet Yun Che slowly but firmly shook his head: "Before I've collected enough seventy jin of Purple Vein Divine Crystal for you, I absolutely will not touch it — unless it's a matter of life and death."
Mo Li was silent for a moment, then gave a faint snort: "Hmph, I guess you still have a bit of humanity in you."
"~！#@$%^... What do you mean 'a bit of humanity'? Was I a beast in your eyes before?" Yun Che opened his eyes wide and shouted.
"What, you weren't? In other people's eyes, you're covered in halos. But all your beastly, lecherous, perverted, treacherous, shameless deeds... do you think you've hidden them from me?" Mo Li sneered contemptuously.
"..." Yun Che's old face flushed red, and he couldn't squeeze out a single word for a long time, feeling rather like crying but having no tears. Mo Li's soul was attached to his life pulse, following him every moment. For six whole years now, not to mention that she saw everything he did clearly, she could now basically guess what he was thinking with eighty to ninety percent accuracy.
In this world, besides Yun Che himself, Mo Li was undoubtedly the one who understood him best... both his positive side and his dark side.
However, after so many years, this was the first time Yun Che had heard a positive evaluation from Mo Li, which could be considered a great comfort... if "still having a bit of humanity" counted as a positive evaluation.

The next day, just after Yun Che had finished infusing Heaven-Earth Qi into Yun Qinghong, he received news that Su Xiangnan had arrived with Su Zhizhan.
The Su Family Head was visiting with the Young Family Head, so Yun Qinghong naturally had to receive them personally. But after just a few polite words, Su Xiangnan spoke somewhat restrainedly: "May I ask... if your son is at home?"
"Che'er? What business does Brother Su have with Che'er?"
"It's like this... My father, a hundred years ago, in a moment of impulsive impatience, forcibly tried to break through the three profound gates — the Heavenly Gate, Earthly Gate, and Palace Gate — but failed. Instead, it caused severe damage to these three gates. Not only did they become permanently blocked, but when profound energy circulates, if it's not controlled well and touches these three gates, it can easily trigger profound energy chaos... The pain is secondary, but the terrifying thing is that it repeatedly injures the internal organs. Our Su Family has tried countless methods over the past century, invited over a hundred famous doctors and divine physicians... But the Heavenly Gate, Earthly Gate, and Palace Gate are all at the core of the profound veins. Without absolute certainty, any mistake could damage the profound veins. None of these so-called divine physicians dared to act recklessly... Brother Yun should have heard something about my father's situation. It's been a hundred years now, and we are still at a loss."
Su Xiangnan's father, Su Hongbo, was the former Patriarch of the Su Family. A hundred years ago, he was ranked among the Ten Supreme Powerhouses of the Huan Yao Realm. Yun Qinghong naturally knew about his profound gate injury. Almost everyone in Yaohuang City knew about it too, because it was the most famous cautionary tale of forcibly charging at profound gates resulting in severe injury — and the three injured gates were all at the core of the profound veins.
Yun Qinghong nodded thoughtfully and said slowly: "Brother Su looks anxious. Has Senior Su's profound gate injury worsened?"
"Alas." Su Xiangnan sighed softly. "A few days ago, my father learned about the Huai Wang Mansion's poisonous schemes and the truth about the former Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Emperor's tragic deaths. He was grieved and self-reproachful, hating that he was held back by his profound gate injury while the Demon Emperor Clan suffered such a great calamity, yet he remained ignorant and accomplished nothing for a hundred years. In his impulsiveness, he tried to forcibly breakthrough the profound power he had suppressed and dared not break through for decades... But during the breakthrough, he triggered the injured profound gates, causing profound energy chaos that rebounded on himself, resulting in extremely severe internal injuries... The injuries are secondary; they can heal eventually. But the profound gate injury has caused him a hundred years of physical pain and mental exhaustion, and now... alas."
"Senior Su's injury is indeed a great regret." Yun Qinghong also sighed. "Brother Su's purpose in coming here, could it be...?"
Su Zhizhan stepped forward, bowed, and said: "Uncle Yun, we have heard that Young Family Head Yun has extraordinary medical skills. Your profound veins were withered and you were poisoned by cold poison for twenty years. All the divine physicians were helpless, yet Young Family Head Yun cured you in just two short months. And on that day, Uncle Yun personally said that he could even cure damaged essence blood... With such medical skills, perhaps he might have a way to heal my grandfather's profound gate injury."
Su Xiangnan also cupped his hands and pleaded sincerely: "When I heard Brother Yun mention your son's medical skills that day, I was truly amazed. Freeing my father from the suffering of his profound gate injury has been our Su Family's greatest wish for a hundred years. But after a century, it had become a hopeless desire... If your son has a way to heal my father, I, Su Xiangnan... will be eternally grateful."
When they mentioned Su Hongbo's injury, Yun Qinghong had already guessed their purpose, after all, he had deliberately spread the news of Yun Che's extraordinary medical skills: "Brother Su, you flatter me. I'll call Che'er over right away. But Che'er just finished treating my injuries, so he might be a bit tired..."
"It's fine. I'm feeling very energetic right now."
Before Yun Qinghong had finished speaking, Yun Che's voice came from outside the hall. He strode in and directly said to the father and son: "Su Family Head, Brother Su, I do indeed know a little about medicine. If I can cure Senior Su's stubborn ailment, it would be my duty to do so. I'll go with you to the Su Family right now."
Yun Che appeared at just the right time. Not only did he not refuse at all, he directly agreed, and his expression was especially calm and confident. If he didn't have sufficiently powerful medical skills and self-confidence, how could he act like this... The hope in Su Xiangnan and his son's hearts, who had come with hope, immediately magnified several times. Su Xiangnan said gratefully: "Young Family Head Yun, regardless of the outcome, Su Xiangnan thanks you first."
"Brother Su is too polite. Just call me Yun Che..."
Thus, Yun Che followed Su Xiangnan and Su Zhizhan to the Su Family.
As one of the top three most powerful families among the Twelve Guardian Clans, the Su Family naturally had deep foundations and an extraordinary aura. Before even approaching the Su Family's main gate, a sharp sword aura surged toward him, and faint, low wind howls could be heard. The Su Family used swords as weapons and cultivated a powerful wind-type profound art. Four months ago, Su Zhizhan's move "Wind God Sword" that defeated Helian Ba had shocked the entire audience, and Yun Che remembered it vividly.
Entering the Su Family's main gate, Yun Che was inevitably surrounded and stared at by the Su Family members. After all, during this period, "Yun Che" had become the most famous name in the entire Huan Yao Realm, with a reputation surpassing almost all of the Guardian Clans.
"Father, this is the Yun Family's Young Family Head, Yun Che."
"Junior Yun Che pays respects to Senior Su." Yun Che stepped forward and bowed.
Su Hongbo slowly sat up from his sickbed. As an extremely powerful late-stage Emperor Lord, his face showed some signs of aging, his complexion was somewhat pale, and his aura was very weak. When he sized up Yun Che, his originally listless eyes regained a bit of luster. He nodded slowly and praised: "What a fine young hero. In recent days, the name I've heard most often is yours. Unfortunately, my body has let me down. I couldn't attend either of the two grand ceremonies, missing the chance to witness your brilliance with my own eyes. It's truly a great loss."
"Senior flatters me." Yun Che stepped forward and said, "I have some modest attainments in medical arts. I came this time at the request of the Su Family Head. Let me first examine Senior's profound gates, shall I?"
"Heh, alas." Su Hongbo first smiled, then sighed gloomily. "It's all my fault for being too hot-headed and overconfident back then, which led to this bitter fruit. A full hundred years have passed. Those three profound gates have gone from severe injury to complete destruction. I'm afraid there's simply no way... You've come for my sake, and I'm already grateful. If it can't be done, there's no need for you to force yourself or feel guilty."
From Su Hongbo's expression and words, it was clear he had long since abandoned any hope of healing the three ruined profound gates. Yun Che smiled and said: "Senior Su, don't be so pessimistic. Let me first take a look at your profound gate injury."
Yun Che approached Su Hongbo's bed, stood by his back, and extended his left hand, lightly condensing profound energy. At this moment, Su Xiangnan reminded him: "Nephew Yun, do you need to take off your shirt?"
"Oh... no need. It can be done through the clothes." Yun Che said without any hesitation, thinking to himself... tricking Qingyue and those ice beauties of the Bing Yun Fairy Palace into taking off their clothes is one thing, but a big man taking off his clothes — no way!
