Chapter 107

"I once……" the Vermilion Bird Saintess lowered her head slightly.

After a brief silence of two seconds, he raised his head resolutely, his eyes full of determination and guilt, saying: "Yi Lan, I must be honest with you about some things."

"I once held prejudice against my Honored Teacher, spoke offensively many times, and even deep inside I was filled with contempt and hatred."

"Yet now, he has made me look at him anew, becoming an existence I cannot hope to reach, yet he still, without holding past grudges, allows you to entertain me with such divine-grade tea, helping me break through."

"I deeply know he is magnanimous and won't hold my initial hostility against me, yet I cannot forgive myself; I do not wish to be a follower who flatters the powerful, coming to cling only when he becomes renowned."

"The mistake is already made; I will naturally bear the consequences. Yi Lan, wait for me, I will certainly do something worthy of earning your Honored Teacher's understanding."

"Only by obtaining his sincere forgiveness and understanding will I feel worthy to stand by your side and become close friends with you."

"Wait for me, Yi Lan!"

"The Vermilion Bird Saintess's eyes were firm, allowing no doubt."

"She has always been proud, her character strong and straightforward, correcting mistakes when she makes them, daring to act and do, decisive in conduct."

"Seeing the Vermilion Bird Saintess so resolute, Li Yi Lan also did not continue speaking."

Moreover, although she got along well with the Vermilion Bird Saintess and wanted to befriend her, if the Saintess didn't resolve the conflict between her and her master, she would naturally side with her master.

Because, she had no right to decide this matter for her master.

The Vermilion Bird Saintess nodded, then handed a sound-transmitting jade slip to Li Yilan and said.

"Yilan, please deliver this to your master; remember to have him keep it on him at all times."

"Okay." Li Yilan took the sound-transmitting jade slip and said, "I will pass it on to my master for you."

"Thank you!"

"Farewell!"

The Vermilion Bird Saintess smiled, waved goodbye to Li Yilan, then turned into a streak of light and departed.

Now that all matters are settled, she also prepares to set out to find her master.

Although the master told everyone he was going to the Zhongzhou Heavenly Sword Sect to seek a path to break through to the quasi-emperor realm, reassuring everyone, he did not mention the numerous hidden dangers along the way.

Within the Qingyun Sect, only she knew that the master's journey might very well be one-way.

Even those close to the master like Lin Yang were kept in the dark.

And now.

Lin Yang has undergone such changes, possesses such divine powers—able to kill the Blood Demon Sect leader with a single finger, and even razed the Xiao family.

Perhaps he might be able to help the master resolve the crisis.

Of course, she does not know the master's current situation; she can only leave the sound-transmitting jade slip with him for now, and after she goes to Zhongzhou to gather information, she will make a decision.

Seeing the Vermilion Bird Saintess off, Li Yilan also prepared to begin cultivation.

At this moment.

"Girl! What are you looking at?"

A voice sounded beside Li Yilan's ear.

Li Yilan turned her head to look.

"Master!"

The one who came was Lin Yang himself.

Li Yilan asked again, "Master, did you only heal that junior brother?"

"More or less." Lin Yang replied while walking to his recliner and lying down.

No need to say more, no need to nag.

The medical arts in the 《Heavenly Dao Pill Canon》 are truly awesome—he, a person completely ignorant of medicine, following the prescriptions there, actually managed to reconnect that boy's limbs.

The result was also very perfect.

Such skill, if taken back to Blue Star, would definitely make him a rising star in the medical field—genuine and promising, the kind of future star that experts like Old Yang and Old Wang would visit, making him the protagonist of a satisfying urban webnovel.

Li Yilan also did not doubt her master's ability; when he takes action, success is certain.

Lin Yang asked again, "What about that Vermilion Bird girl?"

"She's gone!"

Li Yilan truthfully told Lin Yang the whole story.

After Lin Yang finished listening.

He smiled and shook his head.

"This girl, indeed has an extreme temperament."

"Once she has made up her mind, not even ten oxen could pull her back."

"Let her be!"

After all, back then he merely liked to act cute with his wife, pout, and occasionally hug her arm and sway.

Who would have thought, this Vermilion Bird girl at a glance judged him as eating Luo Wuqing's soft food, considering him a soft‑rice man, useless and incompetent.

Then she continually opposed him, refusing to listen to any explanation.

She is straightforward; once she decides something, she won't change it.

Moreover.

She never considered whether his actions might not be his love for his wife.

Furthermore.

He has been like this for thirty years, and his wife never complained—perhaps she actually likes him this way.

And it's just her alone chattering away.

Lin Yang simply paid no attention.

Li Yilan also nodded, then took out the sound-transmitting jade slip left by the Vermilion Bird Saintess.

"Master, this is what the Vermilion Bird Saintess asked me to pass on to you."

"Lin Yang took it and glanced at it."

"The Vermilion Bird Saintess also said, 'Master, stay by my side often.'"

"Li Yilan added."

"All right, I know."

"Lin Yang nodded; it was merely a sound-transmitting jade slip, so he took it without giving it a second thought."

"Seeing Lin Yang accept the item, Li Yilan also said."

"Master, rest well; I won't disturb you further."

"Having said that, Li Yilan prepared to go cultivate."

"Wait!"

"Just as she was about to leave, Lin Yang called out to her, saying, 'Girl, I have a matter that needs your help.'"

"Immediately."

"He took out a previously prepared sheet of paper and handed it to Li Yilan, saying."

"Hurry to the Elders' Council office and find the Grand Elder to have him prepare these medicinal ingredients in ten portions for me."

"These ingredients are precisely for refining the Bone-Breaking Blood Fusion Pill for Zhou Tianming."

"Thus, his path as a genius pill refiner begins with refining this pill for Zhou Tianming."

"As you command!" Li Yilan nodded in agreement.

"Then she turned and vanished in a streak of light."

"After Li Yilan left, Lin Yang took a sip of tea, enjoying a rare moment of leisure."

"Indeed, the disciple works hard while the master lies back."

"But as his cultivation rises, he finds it hard to stay idle."

"At present."

"There is a matter that is quite puzzling."

"Namely, whose hands will the Emperor's Bone in the system's storage end up in?"

"For now, he has ruled out himself, Li Yilan, and Ye Xiaozhi."

"Initially, he thought the boy with broken limbs could use it, but now that he has miraculously healed the boy, it is no longer needed."

"So, among those close to him, only his wife remains."

"Yet his wife went to the Central Province Heavenly Sword Sect to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm; how could her bones be broken?"

"Moreover, he would never allow such a thing to happen; whoever dares to touch a hair of his wife, he will surely pluck out all their hairs and kill everyone behind them."

"Thus, his wife can basically be ruled out as well."

"What a pity."

"He asked the System, but the System replied that the timeline is too far off and it cannot disclose anything."

"Thus."

"He can only guess that the most plausible speculation now is that he will soon encounter an occasion requiring the Emperor's Bone."

"So he can only wait."

"For such chance encounters, one cannot force them; sometimes when fate arrives, it comes naturally."

"Soon after."

"Li Yilan then returned to Heavenly Dao Peak with a pile of medicinal ingredients."

"And Lin Yang was also just about to begin pill refining."

"Master, are we still lacking a pill furnace?"

"Li Yilan kindly reminded."

"Upon hearing that,"

"Lin Yang blinked: 'Indeed, that's true.'"

"'However, there's no rush; I have my own clever plan.'"

"He then turned, walked into the courtyard, and came out holding an item."

"Upon seeing that thing,"

"Li Yilan: '……'"

"Azure Ring senior: '…???'"
