Chapter 440 Solution
"No, Master!"
Yu Zhiyi could no longer afford to hesitate and summoned her flying sword to soar upwards.
The tens of thousands of steps were traversed in the blink of an eye. Yu Zhiyi saw her master about to commit suicide with his sword and instinctively threw something to him.
The black stick struck the longsword, but the unsuspecting Hongchan Zhenren flicked her wrist, and the sword ultimately failed to sever her neck.
"Master, don't do anything foolish!"
Yu Zhiyi jumped off the flying sword, disregarding the old times, and knelt before the woman she hadn't seen in a long time.
In just a few years, she looked as if she had aged twenty years. Her once full head of black hair was now mostly white, and wrinkles had appeared on her face.
“Master, one should take responsibility for one’s actions. If this matter can only be resolved by paying with one’s life, then that person should be me, not you.”
With tears in her eyes, Hongchan Zhenren gently stroked her head: "Yi'er has grown up and become stronger. Your teacher is very pleased."
Her voice was choked with emotion.
"I don't have many days left to live. It's worth it to exchange my life, which was destined to die anyway, for your life, which is as bright as the rising sun."
The familiar male voice rang out again: "Junior sister, why are you doing this to yourself?"
Yu Zhiyi had just jumped off the flying sword in a hurry and hadn't noticed the other people in the arena at all.
Only then did I realize that he was an elderly man with white hair and beard.
The old man shook his head slightly, his white beard swaying with his movements: "The Longevity Pill in Longevity Stone City is about to go on sale. I will definitely bid for it for you. At that time, you will be able to add another hundred years to your lifespan. Why give up your life for a little girl?"
Hongchan Zhenren smiled and said, "My talent is limited. Even if I were to live for another two hundred years, let alone a hundred, I might not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. I should leave the spirit stones and resources to the disciples of the sect."
As she spoke, she helped Yu Zhiyi up and said lovingly, "Yi'er is a rare genius."
The old man looked at the two masters and disciples, and after a long while sighed, "So be it, so be it. My master instructed me to take good care of you, and I cannot disobey my master's last wish."
Hongchan Zhenren's compassionate face instantly blossomed into a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
The old man was none other than the current sect leader of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, the Eastern Mighty Sect Master.
It's unclear how the Dongwei Sect Leader spoke to Master Lingyun, but Master Lingyun actually promised not to cause any more trouble for Yu Zhiyi.
Not only did he not cause trouble, but given his outstanding status, the Taixu Sect would also not cause trouble for him in the future.
Moreover, Master Dongwei, being a good person to the end, also gave the Gao family a warning.
With that, the Jiang family was finally safe.
As for Yu Zhiyi, she did not deny that she had been living a very tense life during this period, but this tension was not due to worry about her own life, but more because she was worried that the Jiang family would be implicated by her.
Now that the hidden danger has been resolved, she feels as if a weight has finally been lifted from her heart.
After relaxing, she realized that the Heavenly Mystery Sect was truly a treasure trove for cultivation.
It's not that other places in the Hidden Realm are unsuitable for cultivation. After all, the Hidden Realm is rich in spiritual energy, and even the most dull-witted person can make some progress under the nourishment of such rich spiritual energy over time.
While progress in strength is certainly commendable, she values the cultivation methods of the Heavenly Mystery Sect even more.
The Tianji Sect believes in entering the Dao through one's life, and most of the books in the library are related to this practice, as well as the experience left by predecessors.
After joining the sect, she kept her promise and took out all the gold to have someone gild the statue of the patriarch.
Speaking of the Golden Body, she only learned about it after entering the sect. Although people in the Hidden Realm do not love gold and jade, the materials used to make statues for their ancestors are still mainly gold and jade.
Better materials exist, but most are made of gold.
Besides the golden statues, the most popular are the spirit statues carved from spirit stones.
With her current net worth, she could easily afford to make two golden statues.
The spirit stones used to make a spirit body are far inferior.
Originally, she planned to return to the mortal world as soon as she resolved the issues with the Gao family and the Taixu Sect. However, her master's lifespan remained a shadow hanging over her head. Yu Zhiyi asked someone to return to the mortal world to deliver a message for her, so that her family would no longer have to worry.
They also brought Lin Qingxi out of the secluded place and sent her to another city, which was 108,000 miles away from Wanyuan City, so that she could be free from the harassment of the Zhong family.
After finishing all that, she devoted all her energy to figuring out how to help her master extend his lifespan.
There are currently two known ways to extend lifespan: one is to increase one's strength.
My master has been stuck in the Nascent Soul Realm for hundreds of years and has never been able to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm, which is the fundamental reason why her lifespan is coming to an end.
In other words, as long as the master can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before the final moment arrives, all the problems can be solved.
The problem is that breaking through a realm is not a simple matter. Even at a minor realm, many people will be stuck for their entire lives, and can only wait in despair for their time to come to an end.
Not to mention a major realm like the Nascent Soul stage.
The Hidden Realm has hundreds of millions of people, half of whom are cultivators.
However, among this group of people, less than a hundred were experts at the Nascent Soul stage.
This is enough to show how difficult it is.
As for the second way to increase lifespan, it is to buy Longevity Pills in Wanyuan City.
The starting bid for a Longevity Pill is one million spirit stones.
In previous years, the transaction price was usually around 50 million.
However, the entire Tianji Sect didn't even have enough spirit stones to reach ten million, let alone fifty million.
During this period, Yu Zhiyi resumed her old profession, going out early and returning late every day to perform divination for people.
The people in the hidden realm are quite generous. Once they identify their target group, as long as their divination is accurate, the fee will not be less than tens of thousands of spirit stones.
It's much more lucrative than hunting monsters.
Even so, it's still a drop in the ocean.
On this day, Yu Zhiyi was about to go out again, but she saw the immortal Hongchan outside the mountain gate.
"Yi'er, are you going out to earn money again?"
Yu Zhiyi didn't deliberately hide anything; everyone in the Tianji Sect knew that she was raising funds for her master to bid for the Hundred Yuan Pill.
The True Woman Hongchan was naturally aware of this as well.
"Master, it's gotten colder today. Why didn't you put on a coat before coming out?"
As she spoke, Yu Zhiyi flipped her wrist and took out a cloak.
In just a few days, Hongchan Zhenren's face aged considerably, resembling that of an eighty or ninety-year-old woman.
Yu Zhiyi felt a tightness in her chest, but she could only suppress her emotions.
Hongchan Zhenren smiled slightly: "No matter how weak I am, I am still a cultivator. Before the day my time comes, ordinary weather will not be able to affect me."
"But you've been working hard these days, leaving early and returning late."
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "With my current abilities, it's common for me to perform four or five divinations a day. It's not strenuous at all."
Master Hongchan affectionately patted her head: "The Hidden Realm is full of hidden talents and dangers. Although your strength is not bad, you must not be careless. In particular, you must always be wary of others."
"Disciple understands."
Hongchan Zhenren patted her on the shoulder: "Go."
On the way down the mountain, the image of Hongchan Zhenren's expression kept flashing through Yu Zhiyi's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
