Shi Yi smiled and said, “As expected it really was a top-grade pill. I had only taken it for four hours, yet the residual poison accumulated in my body has already been completely dissolved. I am extremely grateful to Junior Martial Brother. It’s just that the words ‘thank you’ are too light to convey my gratitude. If Junior Martial Brother needs to use me in the future, I definitely will not refuse.”
Yan Tianhen blinked. “It’s all right. Senior Martial Brother Ying had paid a lot of money. Speaking of which, I made a profit, don’t you think so?”
Yan Tianhen spoke and winked towards Ying Zhen. In Ying Zhen’s eyes, he hated it so much his teeth ached and his fists always felt like they were out of his control.
Ying Zhen said with a forced smile, “Yes, being able to work as a servant under Prince Ye is a good thing that many people cannot even beg for. It’s just that the medicinal properties of the pill that Prince prepared is too intense.”
After Shi Yi took the medicinal pill, his whole body began to tremble. From Ying Zhen’s point of view, he looked as though his entire body was stabbed a thousand times by a knife, trembling in pain. The ordeal lasted a whole two hours.
If it weren’t for Shi Yi strongly pulling on him and forbidding him to go and cause trouble, Ying Zhen would have gone and dragged Yan Tianhen back.
However, the good thing was, although the medicinal pill was very painful, the final effect was still good. After two hours, the swollen lumps on Shi Yi’s face began to decrease in size, and gradually the color even returned to normal.
When exploring the toxins in his body, it turned out that his veins were unblocked and his Dantian was stable, as if the toxin was completely uprooted.
Yan Tianhen’s eyes lit up. “Senior Martial Brother, how did you feel when you used the medicine?”
Shi Yi thought about it and said, “The pain made me wish I was dead.”
Yan Tianhen said, “That should be correct. Good medicine tastes bitter but cures the illness. I’ve always thought that all those poison removing pills made by alchemists have mild and slow effects. Even the shortest ones took a few months to cure a poison, and the longer ones could take years. It’s a waste of time. The medicinal pill I made can resolve it in one day — Senior Martial Brother, you have really helped me a lot.”
Shi Yi smiled and said, “if you asked me to do it again, I wouldn’t dare to.” That kind of pain, which felt like ten thousand arrows were piercing his body, really scared Shi Yi.
Ying Zhen glared at Yan Tianhen, looking like he was about to beat Yan Tianhen up if he spoke one more word. Shi Yi thanked Yan Tianhen again and prepared to leave together with Ying Zhen.
Shi Yi said, “In a few days, when Ethereal City is a bit calmer, Ying Zhen and I will go out to train and gain experience. If Junior Martial Brother needs us for any reason, just directly send a message to us, and Ying Zhen and I will definitely rush back.”
After watching Shi Yi and Ying Zhen leave, Yan Tianhen then took out the leaf card, looked at the contribution points on the leaf card with joy, and suddenly beamed.
Nine Layered Snow was indeed hard to find throughout the world for ordinary people. However, a few years ago, he was forced into the Nine Deep Abyss by You Ming, just to pick some Nine Layered Snow.
He still had a lot left over from that time, so they weren’t worth much.
However, the Fire Heart Lotus that You Ming stuffed into his storage ring when he was about to leave for the academy had only a few petals left. Using up a petal meant that he now had one petal less. No matter where in the world, it would be hard to find a second plant. It would be a pity if it went extinct.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Yan Tianhen played with the idea of Lin Xuanzhi’s soul space.
Lin Xuanzhi had an absolute contract with the soul plate’s space. He could release the soul plate space elsewhere, even while he was not inside it.
When Yan Tianhen went to Little Penglai, the soul plate space was still released outside, but Lin Xuanzhi could not be found anywhere. He assumed that just now, Lin Xuanzhi took time out of his busy schedule to hurriedly give Yan Tianhen support, and after things were resolved, he immediately went back to take charge of the overall situation again.
Yan Tianhen did not feel guilty about calling him away halfway. If Lin Xuanzhi really couldn’t walk away, he would definitely make it clear, instead of reluctantly coming over.
Yan Tianhen’s goodwill for Lin Xuanzhi increased in his heart. In the river where the Twin Lotus Lamp was placed, he found the mouth of the spring and threw the Fire Heart Lotus with only three petals into it.
As soon as the Fire Heart Lotus met the spiritual water, it floated on top. There were already some dried roots that started to look full of life again at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had their own consciousness, and the roots desperately shot into the soil. In a short time, the lotus stretched out its leaves and floated firmly on the water without shaking.
The spiritual Qi in this river was several times richer than that of the mysterious land where the Fire Heart Lotus grew up. Here, the Fire Heart Lotus could take root and sprout, and be reborn again. Maybe it could even bloom, bear fruit, and carry on the family.
It would be great if it could produce endless children and grandchildren.
Yan Tianhen finished this without much effort, clapped his hands, and when he looked back, he saw two little ones standing on their legs with their heads cocked, one left one right, and looking at him. Yan Tianhen’s heart moved and he blurted out, “Ah Bai, Hu Po?“
The child with purple pupils gave a Hmph. “That’s right, we can already take human form now, yet Master still didn’t give any gifts. Great Master has already sent us gifts to celebrate our transformations.”
Ah Bai asked for a gift as soon as he opened his mouth, but Yan Tianhen didn’t feel anything unusual about this; After all, in the demonic beast world, transforming into a human was a big event. If they had parents and a clan, the entire family would celebrate their successful transformations. Where would one find two cubs as miserable as Ah Bai and Hu Po, who didn’t even have anyone to celebrate it with?
This was the kind of miserable treatment that only demonic beasts with no masters would have. If the other demonic beasts knew about this, Ah Bai and Hu Po would inevitably become a laughingstock.
Yan Tianhen suddenly felt deeply guilty. He raised his hands and rubbed Ah Bai and Hu Po’s heads respectively. He squatted down and asked, “There were too many troubles during this period of time, and I carelessly neglected you two. What kind of gifts do you want? Tell me about it.”
When Hu Po was still a tiger cub, he always had an expression similar to a child who ignored others. Now that he had transformed into human form, although he still had a cold little face, four sharp little tiger teeth could be seen when he opened his mouth. No matter how one looked at it, he was not fierce at all, but instead had the opposite effect of being somewhat cute.
Hu Po curled his lips and said, “I don’t want anything.”
Ah Bai said, “You are lying. You were so happy when you received a gift from our big master before.”
Yan Tianhen noticed that Hu Po and Ah Bai each had a small clear bell hanging around their necks, that was not there before.It was probably a gift from Lin Xuanzhi.
Hu Po’s face was red. “Who goes around asking for gifts? As long as I have demonic delight fruits to eat everyday, there is nothing else I want.”
Yan Tianhen pinched the bell, but didn’t hear any sounds, so he asked, “What is this used for?”
Hu Po looked at Yan Tianhen and said, “Huarong Sword Immortal said that this bell contains a strike at his full power and a teleportation talisman that can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant, which can save your life at a critical moment. If you carry it around, it can also nourish demonic beast cores and help with sleeping peacefully. These days, I carry it around me, and I really feel that cultivating is more smooth.”
Yan Tianhen was shocked. He was knowledgeable and had seen all kinds of magic treasures, so he could tell at a glance that the grade of the bell was definitely not low, and he was afraid at the very least it was a high-grade Treasure Tool.
Since Lin Xuanzhi brought out such a big gift, he couldn’t seem too stingy in comparison.
Therefore, Yan Tianhen pondered for a moment, and took out a pair of bracelets which looked like radiant coloured glaze from the storage bag, and put them on the soft white wrists of Ah Bai and Hu Po.
Yan Tianhen kissed Ah Bai and then kissed Hu Po, saying, “This pair of bracelets is something nice that I, your master, have been hiding for many years. I originally wanted to give them to you on the day of your transformation, but I didn’t expect that day to come so soon.”
Ah Bai and Hu Po both studied the bracelet.
“What does this bracelet do? ” Asked Ah Bai.
Yan Tianhen said, “You should use your soul to probe around.”
Ah Bai suspiciously used his soul to test it out, as soon as he touched the bracelet, he was forced to the ground by a strong pressure from inside, and on the way, he turned into a chubby tiger cub because of the shock.
Ah Bai, “!!!”
Hu Po looked at Ah Bai in surprise, then looked at the bracelet on his own wrist.
Yan Tianhen touched his nose awkwardly under Ah Bai’s tearful complaint and said, “Well, this bracelet was given to me when the Southwest Land’s Beast Emperor came to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital to pay tribute a few years ago. At the time he said that he wanted to take the two of you away to raise you; I didn’t agree with this, so he was forced to leave this thing with me. He said that this bracelet has a seal on it, and only those with the blood of the white tiger clan can open it.“
Ah Bai collapsed and said, “So you’re saying that you also don’t know what this thing is?”
Yan Tianhen blinked his eyes. “Oh, I almost forgot. The Beast Emperor also said that you had to go to the Ancestral Burial Grounds of the white tiger clan for it to have an effect. He said that it could improve the purity of your bloodline or something? But the Southwest Land is too far away from here.”
Ah Bai screamed “Unreliable” a few times and chased Yan Tianhen all over the mountains.
Yan Tianhen teased Ah Bai as he ran, saying, “It’s no use chasing me. I am warning you, I am your Master. If you offend me I’ll kick your ass…”
The spring day was warm, and a person and a tiger were rolling in a ball.
Huarong Sword Immortal, who was originally inspecting the preparations in place to greet the Madam of the East Land tomorrow, suddenly stopped walking. His first expression was that of a person in thought, then soon after he lightly lifted the corner of his lips.
All the accompanying people in the sect possesseda brain and perceptive senses. When they saw Huarong Sword Immortal stop like this, then saw his expression, they couldn’t help but laugh and ask, “What good thing is Huarong Sword Immortal recalling? It’s rare to see you in such a good mood.”
“When you say it like this, it really does seem so.”
It was not surprising that these powerful people felt this was rare, because Lin Xuanzhi always looked like a sage everyday, showing a mild expression, neither sad nor happy, and his mood could not be seen. Lin Xuanzhi thought, The children in my family are being very lively and naughty, so I’m happy when I look at them. Without a doubt, Huarong Sword Immortal naturally would not say such things.
Instead, Lin Xuanzhi lightly smiled and said, “I just anticipate that having visitors from the East will be an auspicious and joyful event.”
Mei Shangchen smiled. “It is certainly a joyful event. If nothing else, there is the preferential treatment between the Madam and our Myriad Dao Academy for many years when doing business, which is enough for us to give them a warm welcome.”
Thus, the topic of Lin Xuanzhi was lightly brushed off and it finally landed on the legendary Esteemed Guangling.
