Chapter 180: Enhancing Strength and Returning to the Previous Day
"How did you get injured like this?" Qin Muyan asked the others.
"As usual, we went hunting monsters together. Inexplicably, a high-level monster suddenly appeared in a place where no high-level monsters lived before. During the escape, Hua Rong was hit by the monster." The speaker himself was injured; they had risked their lives to bring Hua Rong back.
"Wait a moment." Qin Muyan took out a pill from his storage bag and fed it to Hua Rong.
He wouldn't normally take out high-grade pills, but considering he was about to leave this place, it didn't matter if his identity as a high-grade pill cultivator was exposed.
Although the group did not know what kind of pills were given to Hua Rong, they smelled a faint fragrance, and at this moment they all knew that the pills that Qingmu took out must be of a high grade.
After taking the elixir, Hua Rong regained her color, and everyone's anxiety gradually subsided. Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Hua Rong suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, which terrified everyone who saw it.
Qin Muyan frowned. Because of their long-standing neighborly relationship, the pill he fed Hua Rong was an eighth-grade healing pill, which should have saved her life. However, he wasn't sure about Hua Rong's current condition. Qin Muyan examined Hua Rong and found that her life force was draining away, and even an eighth-grade pill wouldn't be effective.
"Try this pill again." Qin Muyan took out a grade nine pill.
If even a ninth-grade elixir cannot save a person, then even a great immortal would find it difficult to save them.
In the end, the ninth-grade elixir barely kept Hua Rong alive, only allowing her to live a few more days.
"The pills are here!" Someone ran from the alley entrance, rushed into the crowd, and hurriedly said, "Quickly give the pills to Hua Rong."
Qin Muyan took the pill bottle, opened it, and saw that it contained a grade three pill. He said, "I have already given her the pill. This grade three pill is useless to her."
The alley was full of acquaintances, and someone finally couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Qingmu, how do you have so many pills? You're actually a pill cultivator, right?"
Some people were still nervously watching Hua Rong, while others were looking at Qin Muyan.
Qin Muyan neither admitted nor denied it, but simply said, "First, carefully escort her home. Since you are a female cultivator from the Zhang family, please help Hua Rong change into some clean clothes."
When Qin Muyan got serious, no one dared to disobey his words. By the time they realized what was happening, they were already doing what he instructed.
Qin Muyan waited in the courtyard like the others. After Zhang Zhiye changed Hua Rong's clothes, she opened the door, came out, and then gently closed the door again. She then said to everyone, "I've changed her, but Xiao Rong still shows no signs of waking up. She vomited blood again during this time."
The people in the courtyard remained silent after hearing this.
"If only we had high-grade pills," someone in the courtyard said from the silence.
Qin Muyan looked over and saw Xu Tang, the young man from the Xu family, with whom Hua Rong had grown up playing together.
"It's no use. The pills I gave Hua Rong were high-grade," Qin Muyan said bluntly, shattering their illusions. Hua Rong's condition was truly unusual. He had been thinking for a long time, then recalled the scene when his successor, Song Yin, first came to Dushui Town, where Hua Rong said that Song Yin had saved her.
Xu Tang: "What? Uncle Qingmu, what grade of pill did you give Hua Rong?"
Qin Muyan: "Ninth rank."
"Ninth rank... Ninth rank?!" Xu Tang's voice cracked, and everyone else's gaze fell on Qin Muyan.
Amidst the disbelief of the crowd, Song Yin returned.
Song Yin was in a good mood because she had learned a lot from the Nine Heavens Dao Lord. Now she could not only revert objects to their past states, but also animals or people. For example, she could revert a person with a missing leg to a state before the leg was missing.
"Huh? So many people." Song Yin was surprised to see so many people gathered in the courtyard when she returned to the Hua family home. Could it be that something big had happened?
Song Yin spotted a familiar face in the crowd and leaned over to ask Qingmu, "What's going on? Where's Hua Rong?"
Qin Muyan looked at Song Yin with complicated emotions, instantly thinking of his huge debts. With such a successor, he would really be driven to despair. "Hua Rong was attacked by a high-level demonic beast and is now on the verge of death."
"What?" Song Yin's smile vanished. "None of you took her for treatment and just sent her home?"
They all knew that a guest had moved into Hua Rong's house. At this moment, someone said to Song Yin, "Ordinary medical clinics are useless, and we can't find any alchemists."
Xu Tang turned and walked out: "I'll go look for it again."
At this time, there were very few alchemists, and pills were very expensive.
Song Yin called out to the person, "No need, I am a pill cultivator." After saying that, she scanned with her divine sense and knew where Hua Rong was. She walked to the room and pushed open the door to enter.
"She said she's a pill refiner, did I hear that right?" the people in the courtyard whispered.
"You heard right, now that's good, Hua Rong is saved."
Is there any hope? Qin Muyan seemed to be deep in thought. He didn't remind Song Yin because he wanted to see what this successor was capable of.
After examining Hua Rong's body, Song Yin gave her a pill and then sat by the bed to wait.
She had thought Hua Rong would be easy to save, but her condition showed no improvement. Song Yin's heart sank. She carefully examined Hua Rong's injuries. If the medicine didn't work, she could try her newly learned skills.
Song Yin grasped Hua Rong's hand and used the power of the Great Dao Laws.
The lower-level cultivators didn't notice, but the higher-level cultivators instantly detected the energy fluctuations in the room. Qin Muyan suddenly stood up and took a few steps forward.
...
After waiting for a while, the door opened again, and Song Yin came out.
A group of people gathered around, asking, "How is Hua Rong? Is she alright?"
Song Yin turned to the side, revealing her lively and cheerful face.
"I'm alright now, all thanks to Sister Song for saving me." Hua Rong said to Song Yin, "Sister Song, you saved my life again, I don't know how to repay you."
Song Yin crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the door frame. "Living well is the best way to repay someone. Be careful next time you go hunting monsters."
Zhang Zhiye pulled Hua Rong's arm and examined her closely. "My God, Hua Rong, you've really recovered! Senior Song is amazing!"
"Of course! Sister Song is super amazing, that's right." Hua Rong stopped talking, not wanting others to know that Sister Song was foolish and rich.
Through the crowd, Song Yin met Qin Muyan's gaze, who was not far away.
Qin Muyan raised an eyebrow. It seemed his successor had many secrets. He had originally wanted to recognize Song Yin as soon as possible, but now he changed his mind because he wanted to verify whether his idea was correct.
As long as Qin Muyan doesn't reveal his identity, Song Yin won't receive any news related to the patriarch.
After curing Hua Rong that day, Song Yin became famous in this alley. Some even dared to ask Song Yin how much cultivation she had and bought pills from her.
Song Yin didn't reveal her cultivation level, and even when she sold them pills, they only sold low-grade pills, so they assumed that Song Yin's cultivation level wasn't very high.
And so, another month of peaceful life continued.
For the past month, Song Yin had felt that her neighbor across the hall, Aoki, was staring at her. She didn't know what she had done to attract his attention, and she had caught him doing so many times. If she hadn't been able to tell that he meant no harm and had no ulterior motives, she would have given him a Heart-Piercing Demon Pill.
As time went on, Aoki's attitude towards her changed a lot, and his eyes even carried a strange kindness.
kindly?
Upon thinking of this word, Song Yin was startled; it was so strange.
Song Yin also noticed that Qingmu was always subtly probing Qin Muyan, asking her for her opinion of him. What opinion could she possibly have? Her only impression of Qin Muyan was that of a mysterious and unpredictable patriarch. Could she really say that? Of course not! So she emphasized portraying Qin Muyan as someone who owed debts and refused to pay them back.
As a result, Song Yin often saw Qingmu hesitant to speak, with a complicated expression on his face.
Song Yin not only grew closer to Qingmu, but also to Jiutian Daojun. Jiutian Daojun lived directly in Tianji Tower and frequently taught Song Yin how to control the power of the Great Dao Laws.
And so, Song Yin's long-stagnant realm showed signs of a breakthrough.
Song Yin was very frustrated because her spiritual energy had reached its limit many times and she was about to break through, but in the end she still failed to do so.
Seeing her troubles, Dao Lord Jiutian said frankly, "You are not from this time and space, and you are under the watchful eye of the Heavenly Dao, so naturally you cannot break through. Once you return to your own time and space, you will be able to break through immediately."
In this time and space, only the Nine Heavens Dao Lord knew her secret, which unconsciously brought the two closer. Song Yin learned a great deal from the Nine Heavens Dao Lord, treating him with the utmost respect as a true elder. The Nine Heavens Dao Lord also regarded Song Yin as his future disciple, teaching her diligently. Indeed, the Nine Heavens Dao Lord was still persistent, always feeling that Song Yin was suitable to be his disciple.
Another peaceful day. As usual, Song Yin returned to the Hua family home. This time, no one was home, and Hua Rong did not return home even after dark.
Song Yin knew that Hua Rong had teamed up with others to hunt monsters again, but today she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Song Yin asked someone to find out exactly where Hua Rong went, and then planned to fly there to find her. Having lived in Dushui Town for a long time, she had already figured out the surrounding terrain.
Before setting off, Aoki called out to Song Yin, "I'll go with you to find someone."
Song Yin: "Okay."
During their flight, Qin Muyan asked Song Yin, "What would you do if Hua Rong encountered an accident?"
Song Yin dislikes pessimistic thinking: "We haven't found the person yet, it's too early to talk about these things."
Qin Muyan didn't say anything more.
Fate is so unpredictable. When Song Yin found the person, she only saw a lifeless corpse lying on the ground and did not see the other people who were in the same team as Hua Rong.
Song Yin couldn't describe her feelings at that moment. She asked Qin Muyan, "You knew all along? You're a divination cultivator?"
Qin Muyan saw this and revealed an expression of certainty.
Perhaps Hua Rong should have died long ago, but Song Yin's arrival interfered with her death. The past cannot be changed, and Hua Rong's fate of dying at the hands of a demonic beast cannot be altered.
"I am not a divination practitioner."
Song Yin pursed her lips, her hand touching Hua Rong's cold corpse as she unleashed the power of the Great Dao Laws. With her further control over this power, she should be able to save Hua Rong.
She wasn't particularly saddened by Hua Rong's death; it was just that she happened to have the ability to save people, and the deceased had been very kind to her, so she wanted to give it a try, as a way of training her own abilities.
Qin Muyan, wanting to watch a show, was curious to see how Song Yin would bring the dead back to life.
Song Yin unleashed the power of the Great Dao Laws, but the deceased Hua Rong did not return, so she increased her energy.
Just as she reached her limit, Song Yin's vision blurred and she felt dizzy. Qin Muyan behind her opened his eyes wide, but it was too late to say anything.
Song Yin released her grip, ceasing the application of the Great Dao Laws to Hua Rong, and tried to regain her composure.
Once her physical symptoms subsided, Song Yin opened her eyes, wanting to continue saving lives. But the scene before her left her speechless.
"Wasn't I rescuing Hua Rong in the wild? How did I end up at Hua Rong's house?"
The house in front of me was all too familiar.
Hallucination? Song Yin closed her eyes, then opened them again, and she was still in Hua Rong's house.
At this moment, Hua Rong's voice rang out from outside the door, "Sister Song, I'm planning to team up with others to hunt monsters tomorrow, so I'm letting you know in advance."
Song Yin's mind went blank for a moment, and her body swayed as she quickly grabbed the table next to her.
Wasn't this what Hua Rong said to herself yesterday?
Song Yin: "Hua Rong, what's the date today?"
Hua Rong entered the room, looking at Song Yin with a puzzled expression, but still answered truthfully, "Today is the fifth of July, is there something wrong with it?"
July 5th... July 5th...
Song Yin's fingertips trembled. Had she returned to the day before? Had she traveled back in time using her own power?!
They do not rely on the power of Heaven, but on their own strength.
Realizing this, Song Yin strode up to Hua Rong, put her right hand on Hua Rong's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Don't go tomorrow, just stay at home."
Hua Rong scratched her head: "Huh? Why?"
Song Yin: "Take my advice, just this once."
Hua Rong was flustered by her serious attitude. "Okay, okay." She would go and tell the others in the team that she wouldn't be going tomorrow.
Song Yin patted her shoulder, "That's right, I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. Remember, don't go tomorrow." She was going to find the Nine Heavens Dao Lord because he understood this power the most, and only he could go back in time.
