A thread of spiritual energy surged into He Ding’s body. Ye Wushuang distinctly sensed that several meridians within He Ding had snapped, his breastbone was shattered, and the spiritual energy was coursing through his body in a chaotic manner.
As Ye Wushuang was diagnosing He Ding, Mu Xu, Mu Qinghe, and the other three arrived with Tang Bingwen. The group gathered around, while Yu Yourong and Tian Linzi stood at a distance, keeping watch for any approaching threats and ensuring that the Yun family warriors who were not quite dead were finished off.
“Master Ye, how is he?” After a long while, Bao Qiuling anxiously inquired.
He Ding was a veteran of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce and a core figure in the Bao family. Bao Qiuling’s father, Bao Tianya, had grown up under He Ding’s watchful eye. Thus, He Ding was like a grandfather to Bao Qiuling. It was for this reason that, in this perilous moment, He Ding had chosen not to flee and had vowed to protect Bao Qiuling and Bao Yun’er with his life.
“The situation is not good,” Ye Wushuang said, turning to Bao Qiuling and Bao Yun’er. “As the young ladies of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, you must have some spiritual materials on you, right?”
“What do you need?” Bao Qiuling asked urgently.
“Earth Cloud Grass, Thousand Bone Flower, and Sandalwood Fruit. Do you have any of these?”
Bao Qiuling quickly replied, “I have Earth Cloud Grass and Thousand Bone Flower, but as for Sandalwood Fruit…”
“I have it!” Mu Qinghe stepped forward and hastily took out several green fruits the size of red dates. “Good,” Ye Wushuang said, moving to one side and summoning a large alchemical cauldron taller than a person. He then ignited the earth fire, poured in some spiritual liquid, and began to work diligently.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Ye Wushuang had brewed a medicinal liquid in the cauldron and placed He Ding inside. With a flip of his palm, a spiritual pill appeared in his hand.
“Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill!” Bao Qiuling’s eyes widened in surprise upon seeing the pill. The Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill was a seventh-grade spiritual pill, extremely valuable and rare, crafted from the stamens of nine different grades of spiritual flowers and auxiliary materials.
Instead of giving the pill directly to He Ding, Ye Wushuang crushed it and sprinkled the fragments into the cauldron.
“Done!” Ye Wushuang exhaled, smiling. “He’ll be fine in half an hour.”
Bao Qiuling bowed to Ye Wushuang. “Thank you, Master Ye, for your help.”
“You’re welcome,” Ye Wushuang replied. For Bao Qiuling, although Ye Wushuang and his companions had assisted them out of hostility towards the Yun family, their act of saving Old He was truly a favor.
“Ye Wushuang, we meet again,” Bao Yun’er said with a gentle smile. “If you have the chance, come and visit our Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. I’ll entertain you well. Anything that Tianyuan Pavilion has, we have too.”
“Earlier, we were also searching for the Tai Chu Life Stone with all our might, but unfortunately, we were a step slower than Tianyuan Pavilion,” Bao Qiuling added. Tianyuan Pavilion had used the Tai Chu Life Stone to rank on the Dong Xu list and held an auction, making a substantial profit. The Tianbao Chamber of Commerce was extremely envious.
Most importantly, through this matter, Tianyuan Pavilion and Shengtian Sect had established some connections. Within Shengtian Sect, the person who both Tianyuan Pavilion and Tianbao Chamber of Commerce valued highly was Si Luo Yi, the eighth-grade top spiritual pill master. She was truly a treasure.
“I believe we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future,” Ye Wushuang nodded.
After waiting for half an hour, Ye Wushuang also collected all the spatial rings from the Yun family warriors. Killing and plundering was a common practice. Killing enhanced Ye Wushuang’s combat experience and accelerated his progress. The storage on these people, however, contained cultivation resources. Accumulated bit by bit, bringing them back to Shengtian Sect would undoubtedly elevate its development to a higher level.
“Mmm…” Inside the alchemical cauldron, He Ding slowly opened his eyes, feeling a gentle warmth flowing through his body. The wounds on his skin had already scabbed over, and most importantly, his internal injuries were now stable.
“Old He!” Bao Qiuling and Bao Yun’er were overjoyed to see He Ding awaken. He Ding stepped out of the cauldron, draped in a long robe. He clenched his fists in disbelief and said, “I thought I was done for this time.”
“You’re not going anywhere,” Bao Qiuling said, supporting He Ding’s arm with a smile. “Master Ye saved you.”
He Ding was nominally the old butler of the Bao family in the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, but in reality, Bao Qiuling respected him like a grandfather. Seeing He Ding safe and sound, Bao Qiuling felt even more grateful to Ye Wushuang.
“I’ve always heard that Master Ye is also a pill master. It’s true. It seems that your pill-making skills, taught by Si Luo Yi, have surpassed even hers,” He Ding said with a respectful gesture.
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Now that your troubles are resolved, we should be on our way. Let’s part here.”
“Is Master Ye heading to Fan Tian Ridge?” Bao Qiuling asked.
“Are you too?” Ye Wushuang was surprised.
“Yes,” Bao Qiuling replied. “Nowadays, all factions are heading to Fan Tian Ridge, and to enter the Fan Tian area, one must pass through the Tian Xue Pit.”
“We were previously delayed in an ancient place outside the Tian Xue Pit, where we obtained some things. Unfortunately, we were spotted by Yun Hong and his group, who tracked us down and ambushed us.”
Ye Wushuang was curious. “What happened at Fan Tian Ridge?”
“Didn’t you know?” Bao Yun’er said in surprise. “Lately, in the Fan Tian area, the light pillars have been appearing more frequently. Moreover, strange objects are being ejected from the light pillars and scattered throughout the region. Some people have even found saint-level spiritual instruments from them!”
“Moreover, it is said that some people have seen a fairy palace and many strange and exotic things within Fan Tian Ridge. That’s why, despite the dangers, everyone is gathering there…”
Ye Wushuang nodded.
“Why don’t we travel together through the Tian Xue Pit?” Bao Qiuling suggested. “Along the way, we can share with Master Ye the information we currently possess.”
“Sounds good!”
With that, the group set off together.
On the journey, Ye Wushuang learned from Bao Qiuling and Bao Yun’er that during the days he had spent in the void space, within the inner circle of the Burial Sage Cave, quite a few things had indeed happened.
Warriors from various factions entered the inner circle of the Burial Sage Cave and made their own discoveries, and there were skirmishes among them. The inner circle of the Burial Sage Cave was an ideal place for covert attacks. If someone died, it was almost impossible to identify the culprit.
Yun Hong and Yun Tengtian’s attack on He Ding and Bao Qiuling’s group was based on this very idea.
Recently, various factions had suffered losses.
According to Bao Qiuling, the蔺family and the祁family had also encountered each other and had a significant conflict, with more than a dozen people from both sides dying at the妄我realm.
After entering the Burial Sage Cave, Ye Wushuang, Yu Yourong, and Tian Linzi had separated from the蔺family and the other members of the Shengtian Sect. Ye Wushuang was unaware of the safety of the others.
He wondered how Qing Shiyu was doing now…
In the Burial Sage Cave.
Within the Fan Tian Ridge area.
At the foot of a small mountain, inside a cave that was indented into the hillside, several figures lingered.
At the entrance of the cave, a spiritual sparrow, taller than a person, was perched with its eyes half-closed, seemingly dozing and motionless.
Inside the cave, several people were sitting cross-legged, their breaths flowing continuously.
After a short while, one figure slowly opened his eyes, rose quietly, and approached the entrance, looking at the sparrow.
“Cang Shengtian, do you think how is Ye Wushuang now?” A gentle voice, tinged with concern, slowly echoed.
