Chapter 311

Bai Yu's gray eyes, which once shone brightly and were so indifferent that he didn't care about anyone, were now lying on the ground, his face and hands covered in dust.

He reached out and groped on the ground. Just as his fingertips were about to touch Ling Wu, she dodged away without making a sound.

His tentative finger missed its mark.

Bai Yu's eyes were red-rimmed and her fingers were stiff.

He had clearly smelled her fragrance, but the moment he reached out, the fragrance vanished.

Does she think he's dirty?

Bai Yu made no further moves; he struggled to stand up.

Even after taking the elixir and having his tendons severed and then regrown, he still experienced some inconvenience in his legs and feet.

So he had no choice but to limp around the room, tears streaming down his face as he searched.

After confirming that his benefactor had left, the fear of not being able to see swept over him again when he woke up.

The broken spiritual root also throbbed with pain, so densely wrapped around him that he could hardly breathe.

He gritted his teeth and wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

He shouldn't think of his benefactor that way. His benefactor saved him and gave him a place to stay.

Perhaps it was just that her benefactor left too quickly, leaving the lingering fragrance on her body. It was only when he suddenly reached out that the fragrance dissipated.

It's all his fault.

Moreover, his benefactor also gave him a bottle of pills...

The thought of the elixir sent a jolt through Bai Yumeng's heart!

"Where is the elixir?" he murmured anxiously, frantically searching his body, but he couldn't find it.

In the end, he could only suppress his helplessness and try to recall. After calming down, he realized that the pill might have rolled to the ground when he fell.

He crouched down again and reached out to search the ground inch by inch.

Ling Wu stood in the corner, watching coldly.

Every time he was about to find it, he would control the bottle of pills to move away.

So the scene remains the same: Bai Yu, between the young boy and the boy, kneels on the ground, his face gradually showing anxiety and panic.

In Ji Lingwu's memory, Bai Yu was always dressed in white, pure and spotless, unlike his current pitiful and filthy appearance.

In the end, Lingwu grew tired of it and stopped expending spiritual energy when he finally found the porcelain bottle containing the pills, allowing him to hold it.

He held the bottle in both hands, wiping it with his sleeve as if it were a precious treasure, his face showing the joy of having found what he had lost.

After a short while, he opened the box and poured out a pill. He held it in his palm for a long time, reluctant to part with it, before finally putting it into his mouth.

Then, holding the porcelain bottle like a precious treasure, she seemed to be thinking of something, her smile pure and sweet.

Upon seeing this, Ling Wu raised an eyebrow, sensing that someone had come to visit outside the room. She then vanished from the spot in a flash.

Outside the thatched hut, the faces of the disciples who came to check on him were flushed.

"I was there at the time. With just a casual wave of his hand, the Half-Moon Immortal Venerable struck the peak master of the Xuanqing Sect, causing him to vomit several mouthfuls of blood and suffer a significant drop in cultivation level. Most importantly, the peak master's natal spirit sword was broken just like that!"

“I can testify! My cousin’s sister’s uncle’s fellow villager works as a spirit servant in Danchifeng, and she said the same thing!”

The young man in the center crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "I've heard about all this before. I'm afraid no one in the entire Tianyi Sect is unaware of what Immortal Venerable Half-Moon has done today."

"Let me tell you something you all don't know." The arrogant youth paused, then continued with an expression of admiration: "Later, in order not to anger the Immortal Venerable, the Xuanqing Sect expelled that peak master from the Xuanqing Sect."

"Boss, are you telling the truth?"

The arrogant youth kicked the speaker in the backside, glanced coldly at the others, and then said, "If you don't believe me, go to Xuanqing Sect now and see for yourselves. The list of those expelled from Xuanqing Sect is probably already posted on the sect's website. Or you can go to Danchi Peak and take a look."

He said admiringly, "The Immortal Venerable gave that peak master to Immortal Venerable Dan Chi as a gift. That peak master in the Integration stage was just like a cauldron, given away as soon as he said he would."

A moment of silence followed, then a burst of joy erupted!

"My mortal enemy in the Xuanqing Sect keeps clamoring that the Xuanqing Sect will surpass the Tianyi Sect! But look at him now!"

"Our Half-Moon Immortal Venerable usually cultivates in seclusion, yet he nearly killed their peak master in a single encounter! And when he went to challenge a sect, he had to be coaxed back by the Xuanqing Sect with pleasantries. His strength speaks for itself, doesn't it?"

"..."

Lingwu stood in the void, looking down at their boasting, her face showing no emotion whatsoever.

It took a long time for the group of disciples to come to their senses.

"Speaking of which, Immortal Venerable Half-Moon never takes on disciples. The only person who has any dealings with Immortal Venerable Half-Moon is..." The disciple raised his chin and gestured towards the thatched hut, "...this good-for-nothing."

The arrogant youth sneered, "The Immortal Venerable only took this piece of trash back out of kindness. The elders also said that he only has five spiritual roots, and moreover, his five spiritual roots have been destroyed. Countless disciples in the sect are envious of the Immortal Venerable's status as the chief disciple." He scoffed, "Him? This piece of trash? Even if his spiritual roots hadn't been destroyed, he wouldn't even be able to enter the sect, let alone dream of becoming the Immortal Venerable?"

As he was speaking, he kicked the door open!

"Bang—" The thatched hut was almost knocked down.

"Boss, should we keep a low profile? No matter what, this good-for-nothing has the backing of the Immortal Venerable. If the Immortal Venerable finds out about you, he might be furious at the disciple-acceptance ceremony in two months."

The arrogant youth felt a moment of regret, but quickly responded coldly, "This piece of trash has been lying here for a month. It's not even certain he'll wake up. What are you afraid of?"

"Besides, do you really think he can see the Immortal Venerable again? Don't be delusional!"

"If you guys are going to cower behind me every day, then get the hell out of here! I'd be ashamed of you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Bai Yu staring intently at him from inside the room with his gray eyes wide open.

The arrogant young man was not afraid. He had a single water-type spiritual root and extremely high cultivation talent. He had stayed in the outer sect in order to become a disciple of the Half-Moon Immortal Venerable.

He has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of sixteen.

Therefore, at this moment, Bai Yu, whose spiritual root was as damaged as a mortal, could easily crush him with a mere wave of his hand.

"Tsk, ugly monster, do you not want your eyes anymore?" The arrogant young man took a step forward after speaking, but when he got closer, he saw that Bai Yu did not make any move.

Seeing that this good-for-nothing couldn't even retain his image, he couldn't help but ask, "Good-for-nothing, are you blind?"

Bai Yu remained silent, but the coldness in his eyes grew even more piercing.

"Oh, you've got guts." The arrogant young man stood with his hands behind his back, and after praising him, he turned to one of his disciples: "Qiang, beat him up!"

The disciple who was replaced by A-Qiang cowered in fear, while the arrogant young man frowned unhappily, "If you keep dawdling, spit out the pills I gave you!"

Ah Qiang frowned. They used to follow him around, living a life of luxury and arrogance, but this was the first time they had actually fought, and Bai Yu was, after all, someone who was half a Celestial Venerable...

Seeing his hesitation, the arrogant youth's face turned cold: "What are you afraid of? I've already asked. The Immortal Venerable hasn't come to see you even once, and the elders said that as long as you don't die, it's fine. Beat him!"

The arrogant youth, impatient, snorted and kicked Bai Yu's leg first.

With a "thump," Bai Yu was kicked to his knees before he could react!
