Chapter 673: Quietly Leaving

Jiang Yun sighed silently as he watched Mei Bugu’s lonely and frail figure.

He didn’t know much about love.

He knew he couldn’t solve the complicated feelings between his master and Mei Bugu.

He had done all he could, now he could only wait for his master to handle the rest.

At that moment, Mei Bugu, who was already at the top of Hidden Peak, suddenly reached out to Jiang Yun.

A beam of light flew out from her hand and landed directly in Jiang Yun’s hand.

Refining Heaven Furnace!

Jiang Yun had gained control and knowledge of how to use the medicine furnace that was once used by the Medicine God for refining medicine, through a fortunate encounter.

But considering Mei Yuyao’s hostility towards him at the time, he decided not to take it away and left it to Mei Bugu instead.

Now Mei Bugu is returning the Refining Heaven Furnace to himself.

Although the Refining Heaven Furnace is a dream item for any pharmacist, it is not very useful for Jiang Yun.

Because his alchemy does not require any containers.

However, inside this Refining Heaven Furnace, there is not only an item spirit pretending to be the Grand Medicine Sect Supreme Elder, but also Jiang Yun’s adoptive father, Han Shizun!

Jiang Yun’s master, senior brother, and relatives have all left the Mountain-Sea World. In reality, his adoptive father is his only family member in this Mountain-Sea Desolate World.

Jiang Yun directly entered the Refining Heaven Furnace, and Han Shizun, who had been inside all along, smiled with tears in his eyes when he saw Jiang Yun.

"Yun’er, you’re back!"

Seeing his adoptive father, Jiang Yun felt great guilt in his heart for not spending enough time with him.

Jiang Yun quickly walked up, knelt down, and respectfully bowed to Han Shizun, saying, "Adoptive father, I’m back!"

For the next two weeks, Jiang Yun did nothing but stayed inside the Refining Heaven Furnace, sharing his experiences over the years with his adoptive father, accompanying him peacefully to enjoy family happiness.

Han Shizun wholeheartedly passed on all the knowledge he had mastered in the field of medicine to Jiang Yun.

Although Jiang Yun now had the ability to take his adoptive father out of the Refining Heaven Furnace, he ultimately decided to let his adoptive father stay inside.

After all, there is an item spirit guarding here, which adds an extra layer of security.

To ease his adoptive father’s worries, when Jiang Yun left, he also handed over the incomplete recipe for the Soul Resurrection Pill to his adoptive father, asking for help to see if the recipe could be completed.

Seeing his adoptive father already immersed in the recipe, Jiang Yun let out a sigh and walked out of the Refining Heaven Furnace.

After some contemplation, Jiang Yun handed over the Refining Heaven Furnace to Guan Yiming!

"Brother Guan, we are now a family, I entrust this furnace to you!"

Guan Yiming’s face lit up with excitement as he took the Refining Heaven Furnace, knowing that it was a great show of trust from Jiang Yun.

Without saying much, Guan Yiming simply nodded and said, "Don’t worry, just like how I didn’t betray the Grand Medicine Sect before, I won’t betray the Seeking-Tao Sect in the future!"

Despite being quite arrogant, Guan Yiming’s character was trustworthy.

With his promise, Jiang Yun could truly relax.

Standing above the Seeking-Tao Sect, Jiang Yun looked at the brand new sect and its over 300,000 disciples, then quietly turned around and left.

Apart from a few like Xia Zhongxing, most of the Seeking-Tao Sect disciples were unaware of Jiang Yun’s departure.

Jiang Yun made sure that if anyone asked about him, they should be told that he was in closed-door cultivation to break through to the Tao Spiritual Realm.

Though not arrogant, Jiang Yun was aware of his importance to the entire Seeking-Tao Sect now.

He was the spiritual pillar for all the Seeking-Tao Sect disciples.

If they knew he had left, it would somewhat affect their state of mind.

So, it’s better to let them always think that he is still inside the Seeking-Tao Sect, giving them a sense of solace.

Watching Jiang Yun’s figure gradually disappear, Brother Hei couldn’t help but complain, "Brother Jiang is being secretive now, not telling us anything!"

Xia Zhongxing smiled and said, "It’s not that he’s not telling us, but the distance between us and him is getting farther."

"To find out, it’s simple. We just need to close the distance between us and him, become stronger, and then we can help share some of his burdens."

Xia Zhongxing’s words made everyone fall into silence.

They have known Jiang Yun for quite a while.

Liu Tianren and a few others from Mang Mountains watched Jiang Yun grow up, while Brother Hei met Jiang Yun after he joined the Seeking-Tao Sect.

They truly witnessed Jiang Yun’s journey, from a naive young man from the countryside, to now a fully-fledged strong warrior.

Watching Jiang Yun slowly catching up with them from behind, gradually leaving them behind.

Only Zuo Haochen puzzledly asked, "Was the sect master weak before?"

Brother Hei chuckled and said, "Brother Zuo, would you believe me if I told you that twenty years ago, the sect master was just a young boy in the mountains without Dao Heart, Dao Spirit, or Dao body?"

Zuo Haochen widened his eyes and said, "Impossible, twenty years is definitely impossible!"

Liu Tianren nodded and said, "Indeed, not twenty years, at most it’s less than nineteen years!"

…

Although Jiang Yun knew that Xia Zhongxing and others behind him were watching him, making him feel a warmth in his heart, he never turned back.

And so, he left the Seeking-Tao Sect unhurriedly, out of everyone’s sight.

Now, in The Great Wilderness Realm, the last thing left for him is to meet Dugu Wen!

The entire Great Wilderness Realm, even if all the cultivators in the realm, including the mountain and sea cultivators, join forces, they still cannot pose a big threat to the Seeking-Tao Sect as it is now.

The only thing that makes Jiang Yun worry is Dugu Wen!

Despite having a few brief encounters, Jiang Yun found out that Dugu Wen seems unable to leave that small shrine.

It seems like his activities are limited to the altar and the shrine only.

Jiang Yun even speculates vaguely that the altar is not used for worshiping the heavens, but to seal Dugu Wen.

This speculation makes him even more anxious.

The fact that Dao Yuanzhi set up the altar, inscribed numerous spells to seal someone off, indicates that Dao Yuanzhi must fear that person greatly.

Perhaps Dao Yuanzhi is not Dugu Wen’s match, perhaps he dares not to kill Dugu Wen, but one thing is for sure, Dugu Wen’s origin is mysterious, and his power is incredible.

That’s one of the important reasons why Jiang Yun chooses not to stay in the Great Wilderness Realm and wait for the Boundary Patroller.

He wondered if Dugu Wen also came from the Dao God Temple.

If that’s true, the consequences when the Boundary Patroller enters The Great Wilderness Realm are unimaginable.

Besides, Jiang Yun believed that even though Dugu Wen’s actions were restricted, he should still be well-informed about everything happening in The Great Wilderness Realm.

Especially if he leaves The Great Wilderness Realm, he could hide it from others but not from him.

Therefore, Jiang Yun must meet him no matter what.

He had to calm him down, prevent him from plotting against the Seeking-Tao Sect, so he could leave without worries.

…

Inside the temple, Jiang Yun saw Dugu Wen again, who smiled and said, "Little Friend Jiang, congratulations! Seeking-Tao Sect has been settled, now you can focus on removing the altar marks!"

"The sooner you become the Desolate World Lord, the sooner I can relieve myself from this burden. It’s beneficial for both of us!"

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "I came here today specifically to bid farewell to Senior Dugu!"

"Farewell?"

Dugu Wen’s smile disappeared instantly from his face, and his expression turned serious as he said, "Little Friend Jiang, I have fulfilled all the requests you have made, yet now you say you want to leave."

"Are you playing a trick on me?"

With Dugu Wen’s expression changing, Jiang Yun could clearly feel a strong pressure spreading instantly in this small ancestral hall.

And this pressure did not come from The Mark of the Desolate World Lord, but from spirit qi!
