âLady Tushanâs Golden Pill Records? A pill concocting scroll?â Yang Chen was taken aback.
What was she trying to do?
It was said that Lady Tushan was the wife of Yu the Great. She was rumoured to be a Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit which must have been true since Yu Xueningâs clan possessed the scroll.
Yu Xuening said with a flat voice, âMy clan has been interacting with human cultivators before civilization even started. We have countless pill concocting techniques and formulae but weâre not skilled at it and we donât need supplements from medicinal pills so itâs pretty useless to me. I see that you have the Chaos Cauldron and you can make use of Samadhi True Fire because of the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture, Iâm sure that youâve already learnt about pill concocting. Take the scroll and study it. Dragon blood, bones and scales are precious ingredients for pill concocting. You can take some of it for yourself if youâre keen.â
Yang Chen was intrigued. The scroll was tempting but he was still wary, âWhy are you helping me?â
Yu Xuening chuckled, âYouâre representing my palace in the tournament and your cultivation is pretty weak so I have to help you...â
Yang Chen placed the scroll into his Sumeru ring and thanked her earnestly.
âNo need to thank me. Save the formalities and go look into it, whoâs helping Qi Wujiang to humiliate me.â Yu Xuening squinted, âI know you were thinking about something but I wonât probe into it if you donât want to talk about it. Get going if you have nothing else to ask. Iâll take care of your lover.â
Yang Chen sighed internally. She could read him like a book.
He was wondering if Wen Tao was the cause of all this. He might have survived and entered the realm too.
Wen Tao could engulf humans so he must be able to engulf demons too. If he could transform into his prey and inherit that personâs abilities and memories, he would be far more threatening than before!
Nothing much would change if he engulfed humans, but Sky Demons and Devils would prove a different story.
If he kept engulfing them, his abilities would skyrocket!
Besides, it would be difficult to track him down, let alone catch him!
Yang Chen was worried about this since his only choice of weapon against Wen Tao was the Chaos Cauldron. Given that Yang Chenâs cultivation was suppressed and that Wen Tao could advance at a faster rate, Yang Chen wouldnât be able to fight him if he was truly alive.
Even so, there was no point in worrying about it now. Yang Chen bade goodbye to Hui Lin and left for the Red Dragon Snow Mountain.
Now that Yang Chen had confessed to her, Hui Lin no longer kept her feelings hidden, watching him leave with a worried expression.
With a flash, Yu Xuening appeared next to her and spoke with a teasing voice, âYou really canât bear to let him go, huh? Do you want to spend the night together before he leaves?â
Hui Lin shook her head but her face was flushed which made Yu Xuening wonder if she actually wanted it to happen.
With a sigh, she continued, âYou should join me and focus on your cultivation now that heâs away. Youâre already at the pinnacle of the Houtian stage, Iâll guide you and youâll be entering the Xiantian stage in a few days. Have Yang Chen give you some pills and it wonât take long for you to reach the Full Cycle. In this realm, youâre surrounded by threats especially if youâre not in the Soul Forming stage. Even my maids are stronger than you. If you donât want to be a burden to Yang Chen, you should focus on your cultivation instead of your love life.â
In the eyes of Yu Xuening who was at the pinnacle of the Ninth Tier, guiding someone who was below the Soul Forming stage was a piece of cake. This was because anywhere above the Soul Forming stage required comprehension of the realm and no one could assist with it.
Hui Linâs eyes were fueled with the desire to be strong as she nodded with resolution. She was sick of being a burden.
It was a sunny day outside of the realm. Even though it was kinda chilly, it felt warm bathing under the sunlight.
At the Qing Long International Resort, a little girl was seen moving about the tennis court swiftly as she swung her racket at the tennis ball.
Opposite to her was a young girl who was struggling to keep up with her opponentâs pace.
Finally, another tennis ball went out of bounds and she tossed her racket out of annoyance.
âI donât want to play anymore! Youâre bullying me! Iâll ask Uncle to teach me kung fu too when heâs back! Youâre like a monster, arenât you tired from running around?!â
Tangtang grumbled and walked under a parasol to grab a sports drink.
As she was gulping the drink, Tang Wan nagged her aside, âDrink slowly, who taught you to drink like this? Youâre engaged and youâre still acting like a kid.â
She was also dressed in a pink jersey shirt like her daughter but her shirt was much bigger than Tangtang because of her busty chest.
âThereâs nothing to be worried about. Weâre all girls here, I only need to put up the act in front of guys.â Tangtang burped.
Lanlan ran towards the table and looked at Tangtangâs drink with an envious gaze before turning to look at Lin Ruoxi.
âMummy, Lanlan wants a drink too.â
Lin Ruoxi was reading an economics magazine with her sunglasses on and she passed a bottle of water to Lanlan when she heard her.
Lanlan pouted, âI donât want water, I want Sister Tangtangâs drink.â
Lin Ruoxi got up and took off her sunglasses to look at her daughter with a displeased expression, âYouâre misbehaving again. I told you many times that those drinks are filled with sugar. This wonât make you fat, itâs a fruit flavoured special healthy drink.â
Lanlan took the bottle with a pitiful expression.
âSister Ruoxi, arenât you being too harsh on her? Sheâs still young and itâs alright to be chubby. Itâs all baby fat. Lanlan looks cute with it.â Tangtang too thought Lanlan was pitiful.
âYeah, Ruoxi, this kind of sports drink doesnât have a lot of calories. Let her drink it. Itâll be easy to lose weight once she starts training.â Tang Wan joined in.
Lin Ruoxi sighed and passed Lanlan an unopened bottle of sports drink.
Lanlan cheered up and rubbed her face against Tangtangâs thigh, âYouâre the best, Sister Tangtang.â
Tangtang snickered, âI donât believe you. If you really think Iâm the best, you should have gone easy on me. Is it so hard to let me win one round?â
Lanlan pouted, âYouâre too slow. My first attempt was better than you...â
âYou...you brat. Take this!â Tangtang put down her drink to catch her but Lanlan was agile and she ran away very quickly.
Even while she was running, she didnât forget about her drink.
Tang Wan was speechless to watch her daughter chase after a kid and she smiled at Lin Ruoxi, âItâs nice to be young. People our age canât have fun like them even if we have the energy.â
Tang Wan thought Lin Ruoxi would reply to her but she realised Lin Ruoxi was just staring into space.
âAre you worried about Yang Chen?â Tang Wan consoled her, âYou donât look well. Weâre out to have fun today so donât think about it. Heâll be fine and we shouldnât worry too much. We have to wait for his return.â
Lin Ruoxi snapped out of it and she seemed to be embarrassed about something, âNo...I know heâll be fine. Iâm thinking about something else...â
