The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 544 Medicine Seeker
Under the dim candlelight, Li Muyang’s emotions fluctuated endlessly.
Eventually, his complex feelings condensed into a silent sigh.
Although he knew his own adoptive younger sister seemed to have something special about her, he never expected that she would turn out to be a disciple of the Corpse Immortal.
That identity was indeed filled with troubles...
As her elder brother, Li Muyang should have felt worried for his sister.
However, upon reflection, considering his own dual identity as an Ascendant and master of an Immortal Artifact, as well as that wickedly powerful ancient spirit above the Misty Sea... Li Muyang, whose troubles seemed even greater, felt he had no right to criticize his sister.
The night passed quickly in tedious waiting.
Guan Xiaoshun and Li Yuechan stayed in their respective rooms, refining and absorbing the Spiritual Medicine Li Muyang had shared with them.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Li Muyang and Hehuan Sect’s junior Sect Master Liu Lian’er sat opposite each other throughout the night, yet not a single word was exchanged.
This woman, Liu Lian’er, was indeed formidable.
Having only interacted with her a few times, she seemed to have already grasped Li Muyang’s preferences and temperament.
Now, as she sat there quietly, silent all night long, without disturbing Li Muyang, and considering she had taken the initiative to come over and protect him in a crisis... even though he knew she had ulterior motives, Li Muyang still accepted this kindness.
His resistance towards this enchantress from the Hehuan Sect diminished somewhat.
He couldn’t say he liked her, but at least he no longer loathed her.
By morning, Taixue Peak had finally sent news.
After the combined healing efforts of the Magic Sect’s elders, Sect Master Gong Yanghong’s injuries were finally contained and had not worsened. The anticipated scenario of Yan Xiaoru taking over in the middle of the night had not unfolded.
Although the pressure of being targeted by the Ancestor of Demon Refinement still loomed over Yan Xiaoru, at least Li Muyang and Yan Xiaoru could breathe a sigh of relief now.
Soon after Su Yi came to relay the news, Yan Xiaoru’s escaping light also cleaved the sky and landed on the Suspended Island of the Enforcement Hall.
As Li Muyang went out to say goodbye and thank Liu Lian’er, Yan Xiaoru’s escaping light happened to fly over their heads.
Under the early morning sunlight, bathed in the morning glow, the enchantress stood in white clothing, barefooted, emanating an aura of unusual charm and vitality that was entirely different from her previously seductive demeanor.
—This junior Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect could even switch her demeanor at will, transforming her entire persona.
Truly worthy of the Hehuan Sect.
In terms of mastering one’s own appearance, they were unparalleled and looked down upon the cultivation world.
If someone were to marry such a wife, it would be as if they had married all types of beauties in the world, tsk...
However, after Li Muyang watched Liu Lian’er leave, he didn’t feel any lingering attachment.
He immediately turned and left to meet with Yan Xiaoru and inquire about the situation from the previous night.
Inside Yan Xiaoru’s sleeping chamber, Yan Xiaoru was soaking in a medicinal pool, attended to by Su Yi.
When Li Muyang entered, he could see the exhaustion on Yan Xiaoru’s face.
"… Gong Yanghong’s injury was not faked."
Upon meeting again, an extremely weary Yan Xiaoru spoke up.
Her body submerged below the collarbone in the medicinal pool, the air was saturated with a pungent medicinal scent.
Li Muyang looked surprised and asked about the situation.
Yan Xiaoru sighed and said, "Last night, seventeen elders from our sect gathered together. We took turns in aiding the old demon to protect his heart meridian and Primordial Spirit, and we discovered that he had sustained an extremely serious injury to his Primordial Spirit during the battle with Senior Tianxin."
"The old demon’s injuries are far more severe than they appear on the surface."
"He’s indeed set his sights on me, but it seems this old demon is not yet ready to possess my body."
Yan Xiaoru said with a solemn expression, "Last night, when we took turns helping him, this old monster was also desperately trying to heal himself, which is how he managed to turn the tide."
"If he really wanted to possess me, he could have just let himself die last night—there was no need to cling to life and suffer."
"Now, he’s half-dead, having to endure the agony of his Primordial Spirit being torn apart twice every day, which is more terrible than the dismemberment execution of ordinary people."
"Yet he prefers to endure such torment to keep clinging to life."
"It seems that the Elder Tianxin is more tricky than we imagined, even the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, who has lived for over a thousand years, has suffered a setback at his hands..."
While speaking, Yan Xiaoru, looking weary, lifted her fair right hand and gestured for Li Muyang to come closer.
Li Muyang didn’t hesitate and immediately stepped forward, taking hold of Yan Xiaoru’s wrist to concentrate and sense.
At this moment, Yan Xiaoru also relaxed her body, allowing Li Muyang’s Spiritual Power to sweep through her body unchecked.
Ultimately, Li Muyang became completely convinced that the person in front of him was indeed the real Yan Xiaoru and had not been possessed by the Ancestor of Demon Refinement.
Reflecting on what Yan Xiaoru had just said, Li Muyang nodded with a grave expression, "Elder Tianxin is not an easy target either, and when it comes to tracking skills, he might be even more terrifying than the Ancestor of Demon Refinement..."
Li Muyang finally had the opportunity to share with Yan Xiaoru the true appearance of Elder Tianxin he had witnessed while in the state of being an Ascendant.
He kept the information regarding Jiang Xiaoyu to himself and simply mentioned that he was inexplicably targeted by the Puppet Master.
Even so, Yan Xiaoru’s expression turned solemn.
"Elder Tianxin is... a corpse?!"
The news was too shocking, leaving Yan Xiaoru somewhat unable to accept it for a moment.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
But having already seen another Immortal puppet, the Ink Immortal, she quickly accepted the reality of the situation.
Yan Xiaoru frowned and said, "If that’s the case, then it’s not surprising that the Ancestor of Demon Refinement is so seriously injured."
"The Ancestor of Demon Refinement laid in ambush and clung to life for a thousand years, but on the other side, we have the corpse of an Immortal, controlled by a mysterious Puppet Master who is adept at the Curse Killing Technique and the way of the Primordial Spirit."
"The Ancestor of Demon Refinement has unexpectedly taken a serious blow without realizing it."
After finishing, Yan Xiaoru shook her head and added, "However, this incident may actually be to our advantage."
"The Ancestor of Demon Refinement has been unexpectedly seriously injured this time, his Primordial Spirit unlikely to recover, and he must look for six extremely rare Spiritual Medicines to use as a catalyst to concoct medicine and heal his injuries."
A smile appeared on Yan Xiaoru’s face, "And I, just so happen to be one of the Medicine Seekers."
"The Ancestor of Demon Refinement has sent me to look for the legendary Sinking Serpent Dew."
"When I find this medicine catalyst he needs, I’ll just need to add a little something to it. I guarantee he won’t die but will be severely crippled, and then we can take the opportunity to make our move."
Yan Xiaoru had a perfect plan.
But Li Muyang furrowed his brows and asked, "Won’t you be discovered doing this? Adding anything to such high-level Spiritual Medicine is bound to have an effect, right?"
Yan Xiaoru gave a slight smile and replied, "Indeed, that is the case, but what my Heavenly Machine Pavilion is never short of are the ancient tomes."
"I happened to read a book in my childhood that details a Secret Technique for mixing the juice of Ghost Orchid with Sinking Serpent Dew undetectably."
Yan Xiaoru retracted her hand and leaned back, lying at the edge of the medicinal pool.
Amidst the rising steam and the pungent odor, a glint of anticipation and excitement flashed in her eyes.
"...If this succeeds and we poison the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, we’ll be able to make our move to seize the Divine Spirit Heart!"
