Faintly exhaling the dirty air in her lungs, Bai Yan allows her mind to drift away into the deeper parts of her memories as she closed those eyes. In an instant, the long and difficult recipe for the Supreme Dan pill emerges, allowing her mind to go through the ingredients in detailed precisionâ¦.
Jerking them open again after achieving what she wants, the woman moved with fire and wind.
âBefore I didnât dare to attempt such a high level recipe, but now I will and I must succeed!â
Thereâs not much choices right now. itâs either she succeeds and get to the bottom of her discomfort or give up and lose this crucial trail that suddenly befall her way.

âYun Feng!â Inside another bed chamber, Jun Tian Yue had just regained her consciousness after fainting from earlier. Climbing up, this motherâs first instinct was to ask about her eldest sonâs condition in her frantic state: âHow is Yun Feng?â
Pained by the nails digging in his skin from his wifeâs firm grip, Chief Wu Wei tries hard to look as calm as possible in order to avoid throwing his wife over the edge: âDonât worry my wife, our son is fine. Miss Bai Yan is already seeing to his illness. Iâm sure it wonât be long until the demon in his heart is gone and we can all start anew.â
âReally?â the motherâs expression instantly brightens.
Even if she knew the manâs words are nothing but deceiving lies, itâs still something she wants to believe.
âIâm going to see Yun Feng. â
âWait a minute.â Seeing his wifeâs going to get out of beg, he promptly made a grab for her shoulder to stop this. âWait, donât move and rest for now. The lady stated that we mustnât interrupt her session during the operation so letâs wait here while she does her work.â
Even this man didnât know why he would be so trusting of a stranger to the point where he would entrust the wellbeing of his son to them.
âOkay, okay.â Repeating the word several times over to herself in a muttering tone, Jun Tian Yue could not hold in her joy.
Unlike the other healers and alchemists who came before, Bai Yan was the only one who didnât turn their heads as soon as they saw Yun Fengâs condition.

Outside the territories of the Misty Fairy House, the closest terrain was a deep ravine that cut off the mainland from this part of the continent. As a result, those who wish to enter the place by regular means would need to transverse a large stretch of barren landscape in order to reach the destination.
âYanâer is unthinkable, how can she not come back and tell us something so major.â Huffing and puffing, the usually calm second shifu Ren Yi appeared quite annoyed in his voice. âIf we didnât interrogate Little Rice and force him to spill the beans then who knows what sort of danger that girl would be in!â
The third brother Qiu Shu Rong nods in agreement and cocked a bitter smile of his own: âMaybe Yan Yan only did this because she knew the Holy Landâs relationship with the Misty Fairy House isnât that harmonious? But really, that blasted girl needs to start learning on how to use the powers behind herself. Sheâs too headstrong for her own good, always running up front and shouldering everything on her own without looking for help.â
Normally all three brothers would come after getting wind of this, but since their oldest brother Zheng Qi was in the middle of making a breakthrough, only these two had come.
âThereâs around a thousand miles before we reach the Misty Fairy House. By my estimate, we should be there by nightfall.â Ren Yiâs eyes scanned the horizon with a fierce glint, âIf my precious student suffers any indignation or is harmed by those peopleâ¦â Growling like a threatening dog, âI will make them pay regardless of their forces or status!â
As an elder of the Holy Land, how could the second brother not know the virtues of those from the other power? And considering her own studentâs proud nature, plus amazing talent, its almost a certain some of those conceited bastards would try something against her. Thatâs something he wonât allow!
