Chapter 302: Wang Yulun’s Secret
After a cup of tea, Jian Wujie returned to the thatched cottage.
The light curtain displayed the scene of the battle, where Jian Wujie was continually pressured by Zhao Yuan, who fought with dual swords up close, unable to lift his head. In the end, he was stabbed through the head by a sword, an extremely cruel method.
Jian Wujie stared at the screen for two hours and finally said with a hint of frustration, “Is this the strength of my senior brothers in the sect? I can’t even defeat a senior brother ranked outside the top thousand.”
“Continue matching for me; I want to fight again.” Jian Wujie felt that his true strength had not been unleashed.
“Matching in progress.”
At this time, Wang Xiangchi looked at the trial tower among the distant mountains and smiled, saying, “This is just the beginning.”
As he spoke, he recalled the experiences of following his master in childhood; that feeling of being mistreated was far worse than what he experienced now.
In the underground space, Xu Fan infused the already designed forging blueprint into the jade slip.
“Grapes, has that stone produced results?” Xu Fan asked.
“Other than being extremely hard, it is no different from ordinary stones,” Grapes replied.
“No difference?” Xu Fan looked at the stone that had been sent back.
Xu Fan felt that this stone must be some powerful treasure, though its purpose was still unknown.
“Should we cultivate a technique that allows entering someone else’s dreams, to see if we can get into that world?” Xu Fan pondered, stroking his chin and thinking about the techniques that could enter dreams.
On Satellite Island, Murong Qianer supported Wang Yulun as they brought many Spiritual Fruits to see the two Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys.
As soon as they arrived at Satellite Island, Wang Yulun saw an elderly Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey sitting on a rock, gazing at the distant lake.
At that moment, the pangolin, who had declared itself the master of Satellite Island, transformed into a human form and approached Murong Qianer with a smile.
“Welcome, you two, to Satellite Island,” the pangolin said with a smile.
“We came to see those two Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys. By the way, what’s the story with that old monkey?” Wang Yulun asked, pointing to the old monkey.
“Oh, that one completed the master’s tasks ahead of schedule and has retired early,” the pangolin replied, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
With only three monkeys under his command, now reduced to two, it felt like his power had decreased by a third, and the remaining two were barely holding on.
“Oh,” Wang Yulun signaled Murong Qianer to give some Spiritual Fruits to the old monkey, acknowledging it as a contributor to the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Murong Qianer took a bag of jade peaches and offered them to the old monkey, following the pangolin to the dwelling place of the two Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys.
After arriving at a valley, they saw the two monkeys playing chess, both wearing expressions of despair.
“Alas, the master’s methods exhaust the monkeys too much. Without fresh blood in the future, these two will likely not survive the next time,” the pangolin sighed.
He was not lamenting the monkeys’ fate but feared that if they were gone, it might be his turn next.
Wang Yulun looked at the Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey that had pulled him back from the brink and said with a touch of sympathy, “You two have saved my life as well.”
Upon hearing Wang Yulun’s words, the eyes of the two Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys brightened simultaneously, looking at Wang Yulun with hopeful expressions, thinking they might be allowed to retire early like the old monkey.
“I will have Big Brother Xu let you retire like that old monkey,” Wang Yulun said with a smile.
“………..”
The two Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkeys exchanged desperate glances before quietly returning to their chess game.
Everything beautiful in the world has nothing to do with me.
The next day, Xu Fan arrived at Wang Yulun’s mountain peak, carrying a food box.
Inside the pavilion, Xu Fan and the elderly Wang Yulun chatted over breakfast.
“Big Brother Xu, is Xingci in a dangerous situation right now?” Wang Yulun asked.
“Not really, the major tribulation is over, and he might even turn misfortune into fortune, so there’s no need to worry about his heart,” Xu Fan replied, sipping spirit porridge.
“You should focus on your health; the next year will require careful nurturing.”
As Xu Fan spoke, he pulled out three gourds filled with spirit pills.
“These are the nurturing spirit pills I made for you overnight.”
“Take three pills a day from the red gourd, two from the white one, and four from the black one,” Xu Fan said with a smile, having put a lot of effort into Wang Yulun’s recovery.
“Do I have to take these every day?” Wang Yulun asked, looking at the three large gourds with a worried face.
“Don’t worry; these spirit pills are fruit-flavored and taste pretty good,” Xu Fan reassured him with a smile.
Murong Qianer had been sent away by Wang Yulun, leaving only him and Xu Fan on the mountain peak, so they could speak freely about things they couldn’t discuss with others around.
Noticing Wang Yulun’s hesitation, Xu Fan quickly said, “Speak your mind; what can’t we talk about as brothers?”
“Alright, Big Brother Xu, give me a moment to figure out how to say this,” Wang Yulun replied.
Xu Fan finished his spirit porridge and poured himself a cup of spirit tea, sipping it slowly. Meanwhile, Wang Yulun stared at the gourd filled with spirit pills, deep in thought.
“That mysterious secret realm still appears in my dreams,” Wang Yulun finally said after a long pause.
“It didn’t just suddenly appear in my dreams.”
Hearing this, Xu Fan’s attention sharpened, and questions began to swirl in his mind.
“This goes back to the Que Tian Gate incident.”
“When I went out alone to complete a task back then, I encountered something very strange.”
“I was on my way when I suddenly fainted. When I woke up, I was lying naked on a bed, with my clothes and storage bag neatly placed nearby.”
“Wait, why have I never heard you mention this before?” Xu Fan interrupted.
“Everyone has their little secrets, Big Brother Xu; let me finish,” Wang Yulun waved his hand.
“After searching the secret realm and finding no answers, I didn’t think much of it.”
“It wasn’t until I advanced to the Nascent Soul stage that, cough~~ cough~~~”
At the critical moment, Wang Yulun began to cough. Xu Fan quickly poured some spirit pills from the gourds and fed them to him.
Wang Yulun’s complexion improved, and he looked more spirited than before.
“Big Brother Xu, these spirit pills…”
“Let’s not talk about the spirit pills now; tell me what happened after you advanced to the Nascent Soul stage,” Xu Fan asked with concern.
“After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, I would be drawn into that strange secret realm every so often, as if there was a woman there who was always entangled with me.”
“One day, I was pulled into the secret realm as usual, and when that invisible, untouchable woman tried to entangle with me, I refused her.”
“Then it felt like the entire secret realm exploded, and I found myself trapped in a time secret realm, seeing thousands of years in one glance.”
Wang Yulun clutched his chest and said, “After you saved me, I felt the secret realm start to gather power within my soul, waiting to erupt again.”
