Chapter 317: Timeless

The sudden words of the Supreme Ancestor made Jiang Yun’s heart jump, but he didn’t show any expression on his face.

The fact that the other person chose to tell him this secretly at this time clearly meant they didn’t want his adoptive father to know.

So, Jiang Yun quietly thought in his mind, "Senior has a way to help my adoptive father leave here?"

The Supreme Ancestor chuckled, "Of course, there is a way."

"But, we are not close, so I can’t just tell you for no reason!"

This answer was expected by Jiang Yun.

He was sure that what the Supreme Ancestor truly didn’t want his adoptive father to know was the condition he was about to set.

Jiang Yun calmly said, "Please let me know if you need my help in any way. I will do my best to assist you."

"Good, you understand! Let’s talk later! Now, your adoptive father probably has something to tell you."

After saying this, the Supreme Ancestor’s voice was no longer heard.

Jiang Yun also temporarily stopped all thoughts and felt a bit hopeful.

No matter what condition the Supreme Ancestor sets, as long as he can help the adoptive father leave the Refining Heaven Furnace, Jiang Yun will agree to anything!

Han Shizun naturally had no knowledge of the conversation between Jiang Yun and the Supreme Ancestor.

His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yun, but suddenly seemed to remember something, his smile disappeared from his face.

"Child, after you leave the Refining Heaven Furnace, do not stay at the Grand Medicine Sect, do not say goodbye to anyone, immediately leave the Grand Medicine Sect!"

Han Shizun’s words made Jiang Yun slightly surprised, "Why?"

Han Shizun hesitated, pondered for a moment before speaking, "If my guess is correct, Yuyao might want to harm you!"

"Who is Yuyao?"

"Mei Yuyao, the sect master, she is Mei Bugu’s biological sister!"

Jiang Yun was a bit surprised, he didn’t expect Mei Bugu to be the biological sister of the Grand Medicine Sect sect master!

While he hadn’t thought about Mei Yuyao harming him before, now after hearing Han Shizun’s words, he understood after a moment of thought.

It’s simple, because he received the complete inheritance of the Medicine God.

If I were to leave, I’d be taking away this legacy with me, and the Grand Medicine Sect wouldn’t just let it go like that.

But if I really just left without telling anyone, it would mean breaking ties completely with the Grand Medicine Sect.

I’m not afraid, but considering the Grand Medicine Sect’s powerful position in the Mountain-Sea World, even if they can’t handle me, they might cause trouble for the Seeking-Tao Sect.

So, Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Adoptive father, how about I leave a portion of this legacy for the Grand Medicine Sect?"

Han Shizun immediately shook his head and said, "If you had said this before asking me to be your adoptive father, maybe I would’ve agreed, but not now."

Jiang Yun was puzzled that his adoptive father, as an elder of the medicine path in the Grand Medicine Sect, wouldn’t allow him to leave a portion of the legacy behind.

Han Shizun explained, "The founder of the sect must have had his reasons for hiding the complete legacy so discreetly."

"Otherwise, he could have simply told all the disciples about it, passing it down from generation to generation, without the need to establish the Land of Inheritance."

Although Jiang Yun had met the Medicine God and received his legacy, he still didn’t understand why the Medicine God had done this.

"So, you better not tell anyone about this heritage, including me!"

"When you truly understand this heritage yourself, then you can make a decision."

Jiang Yun nodded, knowing that his adoptive father was thinking for his own good.

Han Shizun continued, "Moreover, even if you do that, Yuyao won’t let you off the hook."

"Your skills in medicine are already remarkable, and now with this complete heritage, in time, your achievements will surpass the entire Grand Medicine Sect!"

"In short, your presence threatens the position of the Grand Medicine Sect. If I were the sect master, I wouldn’t let you leave the Grand Medicine Sect either!"

"So, don’t blame Yuyao. As the sect master, she also has her own constraints in many matters."

Han Shizun sighed and said, "One day, if you become a sect master yourself, you will realize that no matter what you do, the sect’s interests come first."

Although Jiang Yun understood what his adoptive father meant, he couldn’t completely agree with the metaphor about becoming a sect master. How could he possibly become one!

However, he understood that his adoptive father cared about him, so he nodded and said, "After I leave here, I will definitely leave the Grand Medicine Sect right away."

"Hmm!"

Han Shizun first nodded, but then shook his head and said, "I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to leave even if you want to."

"If you really can’t leave, then remember to go find Mei Bugu, she might be able to help you leave safely."

When he heard about Mei Bugu, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Adoptive father, is there any connection between this senior Mei and my master?"

Han Shizun smiled bitterly and said, "It’s more than just a connection, the relationship between the two of them is really complicated!"

"Since you are my adopted son, I shouldn’t speak badly about your master anymore."

"In simple terms, Mei Bugu is deeply in love with your master, but your master rejected her."

"Oh…"

Jiang Yun was speechless. He had guessed there was some connection between his master and Mei Bugu, but he never expected their relationship to be so complicated.

He never imagined that his master could be unfaithful.

"Even so, Mei’er still loves your master deeply."

"She even went as far as changing her name and appearance for him, hoping that Gu Bulao would change his mind!"

"Mei’er used to have a different name and didn’t look like she does now. After your master left, she created a rejuvenation pill and changed her name to Bugu, forever youthful and ageless…"

Han Shizun then gestured with his hand, "Forget it, forget it. As Gu Bulao’s disciple, these matters are not for you to concern yourself with."

"Just remember, Mei’er loves Gu Bulao deeply, so she won’t harm you. Plus, as the sect master’s sister, she’s the only one who can help you!"

Jiang Yun dared not ask further and could only nod, saying, "Yes!"

The father and son chatted for a while longer, sticking to light-hearted topics, just like catching up on old times.

After about an hour passed, Han Shizun reluctantly said, "Child, all good things must come to an end. It’s time for you to leave and return to the Seeking-Tao Sect."

Jiang Yun also felt sad, but he knew he couldn’t show it at this moment, as it would only make his adoptive father more upset.

"Alright, I will find another chance to visit you in the future!"

"Before you go, the old ancestor has something to tell you!"

Just as Han Shizun finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared, and before Jiang Yun appeared the figure of the Supreme Ancestor.

Obviously, the Supreme Ancestor sent Han Shizun away directly, without giving the father and son a chance to say a proper goodbye.

This made Jiang Yun a bit unhappy, but needing a favor from the Supreme Ancestor, he could only swallow his displeasure and respectfully bow, saying, "Greetings, elder!"

The Supreme Ancestor smirked coldly and said, "No need to pretend. I know you’re not happy with me, but if it weren’t for Shizun’s sake, I wouldn’t even bother with you!"

Since his feelings were exposed, Jiang Yun dropped the act, and with a calm smile, he said, "Elder, as I’ve said before, as long as it helps my adoptive father leave this place, I will do whatever you ask to the best of my abilities."

"Okay, I need your help to help Grand Medicine Sect win this big battle!"
