Nangong Ling'er's expression turned solemn. She then took out the bottle containing the pill from her bosom and looked at Xiao Yuhan, saying, "Senior brother, do you remember the pill I told you about last time? I used the Azure Water Pearl as material and refined it to perfection, but... because of this pill, I was actually attacked by the Heavenly Dao when I was making my deductions today."
Xiao Yuhan pulled up a chair and sat down. "What exactly happened to you today?"
"After refining this pill, I felt uneasy. Senior brother, we are all Taoist practitioners. Even if we can't achieve perfect tranquility, we shouldn't feel inexplicable palpitations, right? So I tried to deduce it. In the first deduction, I deduced the danger of this pill before the laws of heaven. There was no hexagram, which proved that the thing itself was not dangerous. But I didn't understand, so I made a second deduction to the meaning of this pill. As a result, the same hexagram appeared many times."
Xiao Yuhan frowned slightly, because he could sense the seriousness of the matter from his junior sister's expression. "What divination result?"
“The Kun hexagram, line 6: Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is black and yellow,” the junior sister said, enunciating each word clearly.
Xiao Yuhan frowned more and more deeply, and said, "The sixth line of the Kun hexagram indicates that Yin energy is at its peak, fighting against Yang energy in the wilderness. Heaven and earth are in chaos, and the distinction between Qian and Kun is blurred. The consequences are unimaginable. But what exactly does this hexagram mean?"
Nangong Ling'er continued, "This divination is about the outcome. Perhaps it means that this pill can push an event to a final result. So, senior brother... I can only give this to you. It was born from the Blood King Scripture, and perhaps only you can truly use it."
Xiao Yuhan took the small bottle containing the pills and fell silent.
“Senior brother, after this item has been refined by the Azure Water Pearl, there shouldn’t be any more side effects. However, I haven’t used it myself, so I can’t say for sure that it’s safe. Therefore…”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan understood his junior sister's meaning and immediately interrupted, "Junior sister! I understand! I will keep this thing safe, and I hope I will never need it in this life. It will be forever sealed in my storage magic treasure."
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er seemed to finally relax, letting out a long sigh of relief. Then she smiled and said, "That's good. Senior brother, welcome home. Let's set off quickly, so as not to keep you and the senior sisters waiting."
As Nangong Ling'er prepared to get up, she nearly fell over the moment she stepped off the bed. Xiao Yuhan quickly supported her and asked with great concern, "Junior Sister, are you really alright?"
Nangong Ling'er smiled and said, "It's alright. Refining this pill consumed too much of my cultivation, so I need to recuperate for a while. Don't worry, senior brother. I can deceive anyone, but I won't deceive you. It's true that I was exhausted because this pill refining process drained my mental energy. When I suddenly succeeded, my tense nerves relaxed, which is why I appeared to be exhausted."
Looking at Nangong Ling'er's haggard face, Xiao Yuhan became even more worried. He then used his internal energy to replenish her spiritual power. Of course, this was also a test, after all, he knew his junior sister well. Although this girl usually appeared harmless and carefree, she was actually very sensitive and had her own opinions. If she really had something she didn't want to say, it would be impossible to tell.
Xiao Yuhan's only concern now was her physical condition. Fortunately, after testing her spiritual energy, he found that his junior sister had only exhausted her mental energy and was not seriously injured, which put him at ease.
Xiao Yuhan accompanied his junior sister to the sect leader's villa. There were no outsiders today, except for a few fellow disciples and their respective disciples. After all, the sect's martial arts competition was about to begin. Except for his junior sister, who had not accepted any disciples, the disciples of the other senior brothers and sisters all came to have a meal, which was also a way for the younger generation to get to know each other.
Today, Xiao Yuhan was unusually happy and drank quite a bit of wine. Bai Yao helped him back to the Discipline Hall.
...
As night fell, Xiao Yuhan climbed onto the roof again, and Bai Yao followed helplessly. "Master, can you please calm down for a while? How many times has this happened? I finally managed to get you back to your room, and you just climbed onto the roof again. If you can't drink with Uncle Liu, don't force yourself. Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
Xiao Yuhan, drunk and squatting on the roof, was in great discomfort, his eyes glazed over. "Yao'er, don't talk. Let your teacher have some peace and quiet. I'll go back to rest when I feel a little better. You should go back first..."
Seeing her master's condition, Bai Yao didn't dare to leave easily. Although her master's cultivation level meant he wouldn't be seriously injured if he fell off the roof, she was still a little worried. So she helplessly squatted down to the side, rested her chin on her hands, and tilted her head to look at Xiao Yuhan. "Master... don't throw up on the roof, otherwise the whole yard will smell bad when you wake up tomorrow morning, and it's not easy to clean the tiles."
Xiao Yuhan's head was spinning, and he said, his head bowed and his mind unclear, "Hmm..."
Bai Yao smiled slightly, "Master... Today, Senior Uncle Liu said that you, Master, are chivalrous and brave, fighting against the demon race on the Great Wall of Demon Resistance, which made our Heavenly Sword Sect look good."
"Um……"
"Master... I didn't realize you've become the backbone of the sect. No, Master has always been. Yao'er is mistaken!"
"Hmm..." Xiao Yuhan replied groggily.
Bai Yao felt helpless. She knew that her master was already quite delirious, but since her master was unwilling to go back to his room to sleep, she could only stay by his side. However, she was still very happy because at this moment, she was the only one who was by her master's side.
"Master... what do you think of Junior Uncle?" Bai Yao suddenly asked, as if she had thought of something.
Despite being drunk, Xiao Yuhan still retained a sliver of reason, though he kept his head down, saying, "What about my martial uncle... Yao'er, you should go and rest. I don't want to talk right now, I just want to lie down."
