Chapter 858
by post_apiChapter 858: Transparent Dan Medicine
Although Jiang Yun couldn’t be sure if Lv Lun also hailed from the Mountain-Sea World like him, the fact that Lv Lun was able to write the phrase "One Mountain, One Sea, One Tao World" indicates an awareness of the Mountain-Sea World’s existence at least.
Therefore, by revealing his background and showing Lv Lun his Blessed Land formed from the mountains and seas within the Mountain-Sea World, Jiang Yun hoped to prove his words were true and perhaps sway Lv Lun.
After Jiang Yun spoke these words, all the spinning stones suddenly paused for a brief moment!
Even though the stone only stopped spinning for a moment, Jiang Yun noticed it immediately and understood what was happening.
Jiang Yun guessed right, Lv Lun was hidden among the stones in this formation!
However, Jiang Yun also knew that although his words had touched Lv Lun, he needed to do something more to make him appear.
So, Jiang Yun spoke again, "Taoist Friend Lu, everything I’ve seen and experienced since coming from the Mountain-Sea World has left me with many questions. I believe you must feel the same way!"
"If the two of us can sit down and talk, perhaps we can find reasonable answers to our questions."
After speaking, Jiang Yun gently placed Nan Yunruo on the ground, sat cross-legged beside her, closed his mouth, and remained silent.
After a short moment of silence, a deep sigh suddenly echoed within the formation.
Following that, Jiang Yun saw a large stone about a thousand feet away suddenly spin faster and rush towards him, no longer staying still.
The stone stopped about thirty feet away from Jiang Yun, revealing a figure on top of it.
This is a middle-aged man, wearing a long black shirt, thin with a weary look on his face, resembling a failed scholar, silently staring at Jiang Yun.
Or rather, staring at the incomplete Blessed Land above Jiang Yun’s head.
After a moment, the middle-aged man sighed and said, "Is this the present Mountain-Sea World?"
"Compared to my memories of Mountain-Sea World, there hasn’t been much change."
As he finished speaking, the man reached out towards a nearby stone and pointed at it, revealing a series of scenes on its uneven surface.
Each scene showed landscapes from within the Mountain-Sea World!
Watching these scenes, Jiang Yun’s pupils slightly contracted.
Because now he was sure that this middle-aged man, whether or not he was Lv Lun, at least like himself, also came from the Mountain-Sea World!
The middle-aged man was also looking at the scenes, a hint of reminiscence and nostalgia in his eyes.
Finally, the man reached out to erase the image on the stone and looked back at Jiang Yun, whispering, "Mountain-Sea, Lv Lun!"
Indeed, he is Nan Yunruo’s master, Lv Lun!
Jiang Yun calmly said, "Mountain-Sea, Fang Mang!"
It wasn’t until then that a hint of smile appeared on Lv Lun’s weathered face as he said, "I never expected to encounter a Taoist friend from the Mountain-Sea World here in The Land of Fallen Realm!"
Even though Jiang Yun confirmed Lv Lun’s identity and knew his background, he did not let his guard down, clearly Lv Lun did the same.
Because the stone where he stood was ten yards away from himself, at this distance, Jiang Yun believed he could still leave at any time or manipulate the formation to change.
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "I never thought that Taoist Friend Lu would come from the Mountain-Sea World!"
At that moment, Lv Lun’s gaze finally turned to the unconscious Nan Yunruo.
Before Lv Lun could speak, Jiang Yun explained, "The disciple is fine, just passed out under the influence of the sacred artifact aura from the Desolate World tribe."
At this moment, the Desolate Mark on Nan Yunruo’s forehead has disappeared, even though Lv Lun is very skilled, she couldn’t see it.
Lv Lun nodded and said, "Taoist Friend Jiang, even though we both come from Mountain-Sea World, I believe you still distrust me, and I feel the same way towards you."
"So, why don’t we just do as Taoist Friend suggested and help each other clear up any doubts?"
"That works for me!"
Lv Lun’s words surprised Jiang Yun a bit, but since they didn’t know each other, it seemed like a good idea.
"Taoist Friend Jiang, as a guest from afar, please share any doubts you may have."
"Alright!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yun threw the mud ball in his hand towards Lv Lun, saying, "Before we begin, let this item return to its owner!"
Catching the mud ball, Lv Lun’s face showed a hint of surprise.
Clearly did not expect that, Jiang Yun would return this mud ball to himself.
"Does Taoist Friend Jiang know what’s inside?"
"I guess it’s a pill targeting either the Sky Blessed Realm or Daoxing Realm!"
"So you are willing to return this item to me?"
"A gentleman loves money with principles in mind. Although I may not be a gentleman, we have no grievances between us. If I were to claim this item as my own, wouldn’t it be like being a robber? I have no interest in doing such a thing!"
This is Jiang Yun’s honest words.
Although he has taken things from many people in his cultivation journey, those who were taken from provoked him first.
Jiang Yun truly cannot bring himself to take things without reason from unrelated individuals.
Furthermore, he also needs to show some sincerity!
After hearing what Jiang Yun said, Lv Lun bowed to him and said, "Thank you!"
Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. I just hope Taoist Friend Lu will not hide this object in the disciple’s soul again. The disciple does not have enough power to guard it."
Lv Lun could not miss the sarcasm in Jiang Yun’s words and replied with a bitter smile, "Taoist Friend Jiang may have misunderstood me."
"Actually, if no one else takes out this object, when Yunruo reaches the Sky Blessed Realm in her cultivation, this object will drop from her soul and belong to her!"
This truly surprised Jiang Yun once again.
If what Lv Lun said is true, then this object is clearly a special gift he prepared for Nan Yunruo!
However, Jiang Yun couldn’t be bothered to verify the truth in the other’s words and calmly said, "Taoist Friend Lu, now that the item has returned to its owner, can we start?"
Lv Lun still smiling sadly, said, "Taoist Friend Jiang, please wait a moment."
"There is indeed a medicinal pill inside, the senior who helped me refine this pill years ago said that to maintain its medicinal properties, it must be hidden in the soul and nourished by soul power."
"Now that Taoist Friend Jiang has taken it from Yunruo’s soul, I need to put it into my own soul!"
Jiang Yun is a talented alchemist, but he has never heard of the ability to nurture pills in the soul as Lv Lun mentioned.
However, he didn’t ask further questions. Following Lv Lun’s gentle press, the clay seal was broken, revealing a pill!
Seeing the pill, Jiang Yun was shocked.
The pill was transparent, sparkling inside with countless light rays, stunningly beautiful like a starry sky captured within.
Lv Lun admired the pill and praised, "I have never seen anyone match the senior’s alchemy skills in my lifetime."
"It has been many years. I wonder if there are any disciples in the sects he founded in the Mountain-Sea World who have obtained his complete legacy."
