The Fourth Elder was well aware that Bai Ying would kill him.
But he really had no other choice.
After returning, he tried to get the entire Yan clan to search for Master Mu's secluded cultivation location, but even with so many people searching together, they still couldn't find it.
Time passed day by day, and he couldn't wait any longer.
He had to make a decision immediately.
It was the medicine given to him by Master Mu that extended his lifespan, so that he could wait for Master Mu to emerge from seclusion.
Let's take a gamble and find Bai Ying to cure his illness.
Knowing that there was a 90% chance that Master Mu would not emerge from seclusion within three months, he hardened his heart and came to Lingxiao Sect to find Bai Ying.
The members of the Yan clan knelt neatly in front of the Lingxiao Sect, and the Fourth Elder brought out Bai Ying's master, the Brahma Immortal Venerable.
Bai Ying eventually left the Lingxiao Sect.
Are you sure you want me to treat your illness?
The Fourth Elder looked at the innocent-looking little girl in front of him, hardened his heart, and said to her, "Yes."
Bai Ying walked up to the Fourth Elder, took his hand, and placed her fingers on his pulse.
"You didn't take that medicine that would extend your life by three months, did you?"
The Fourth Elder quickly replied, "No."
When Bai Ying was told by the Yan clan that this medicine should absolutely not be taken, he hesitated about whether to take it or not. Fortunately, he did not take the medicine.
"That's good. You absolutely must not take this medicine. If you do, even a god couldn't save you."
The Fourth Elder felt somewhat relieved. "Then, can my illness still be cured?"
Bai Ying carefully felt his pulse; it was very weak, and his eight extraordinary meridians were severely corroded. He was no longer as easily treatable as when she first met him.
But it doesn't matter, she can still be cured, it just takes more effort.
"I need to prepare some medicinal herbs and materials to treat you. Wait for me for five more days, and then I will treat you. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to cure you."
The Fourth Elder's heart pounded with anxiety as he listened to Bai Ying's words. He didn't entirely trust Bai Ying, but there was nothing he could do.
Rather than waiting to die, let Bai Ying give it a try.
"good!"
Bai Ying nodded to him, "Then come to Lingxiao Sect again in five days, and I will help you with the treatment."
—
During these five days, Bai Ying ignored the gossip and troubles outside. She found the necessary spiritual herbs and refined a special magical artifact needed to treat the Fourth Elder.
The Fourth Elder's "illness" isn't a real illness; he's been parasitized by some kind of entity. What Bai Ying needs to do is use this special magical artifact to find that entity and then force it out using a special method.
She had experienced this so-called illness in her past life, so she was very good at doing these things.
In order to refine these things in the shortest possible time, she devoted all her time and energy to this.
Her reckless behavior even frightened her master, Xuan Yuan Chen.
"Why don't you go and rest for a while? Your body won't be able to handle using your spiritual power like this all the time."
Bai Ying shook her head. "It's alright. I'm fine if I'm a little tired, but the Fourth Elder can't wait any longer."
Five days passed, and Bai Ying finally prepared everything she needed.
The fatigue of the past few days had left her looking rather pale.
She sat here waiting for the Fourth Elder to come over.
But to her surprise, the Fourth Elder did not come. She waited and waited, but he never came.
Bai Ying frowned immediately. Could it be that her prediction was wrong and the Fourth Elder had acted up prematurely? What happened?
Xuanyuan Chen said to her, "How about I send someone to check on the Yan clan?"
Bai Ying shook her head: "It's too late, I'll go by myself."
Xuan Yuan Chen frowned. "You've used up all your spiritual energy these past few days, and you still need to treat him later. If you use your spiritual energy to rush there, your body won't be able to handle it. Let me take you there."
Bai Ying said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."
Xuanyuan Chen quickly activated his flying artifact in order to arrive as soon as possible.
The two finally arrived at the Yan clan's ancestral home, but to their surprise, the Fourth Elder was completely unharmed. Not only was he unharmed, but he was also chatting and laughing with those around him.
Xuan Yuanchen's face immediately darkened.
He descended from the sky with Bai Ying and landed in the courtyard of the Yan clan.
When the Yan clan members saw someone suddenly barge in, they all surrounded him.
Xuan Yuan Chen strode up to the Fourth Elder. His expression was unfriendly as he spoke to him:
"What's wrong with you? My disciple has been waiting for you there for ages, and you're just laughing and joking around?"
Xuan Yuan Chen found Bai Ying's worried expression just now utterly ridiculous.
These four elders don't even value their own lives, so what are they worrying about?
But at that moment, someone suddenly walked out from behind the Fourth Elder.
The Fourth Elder didn't speak, but he looked at Bai Ying and spoke first.
"You're Bai Ying? I heard you say that the pills I refine are inedible and will surely kill you. Is that true?"
Master Mu exuded an aura of power, his entire being arrogance and domineering. If it weren't for Xuan Yuanchen being there, he would have killed Bai Ying with a single palm strike.
Bai Ying listened to his words and immediately knew who he was.
"Of course, he will surely die once he takes your medicine."
Master Mu looked at Bai Ying with a ridiculous expression, then said to the Fourth Elder, "Fourth Elder, why don't you take that medicine and see if you die!"
Hearing what Master Mu said, the Fourth Elder dared not refuse to eat.
He quickly swallowed the pills in front of everyone.
After finishing his meal, he immediately said to Bai Ying:
“I no longer need your treatment. I didn’t expect Master Mu to emerge from seclusion ahead of schedule. Now that Master Mu has emerged from seclusion, I will naturally seek him out to treat my illness.”
The Fourth Elder had never felt so lucky before.
Fortunately, Master Mu emerged from seclusion before Bai Ying could treat him.
If it happened in the next day or two, the Yan clan would regret it to death.
Because Bai Ying will definitely kill him!
Now that Master Mu is here, he no longer needs Bai Ying.
So now he's actually kicking customers out.
As soon as the Fourth Elder took Master Mu's medicine, he felt completely refreshed, as if someone had infused him with boundless vitality.
He should have eaten earlier.
He then said to Bai Ying, "I almost fell for your trick. This medicine is truly amazing. I would have been in trouble if I hadn't taken it."
However, at this moment, Bai Ying looked at him as if he were a corpse.
She coldly addressed the person before her:
"After taking this medicine, even if a celestial being were here, it would be too late to save you. No one can save you now."
