The Spirit Race was born in the chaotic realm approximately five thousand years ago. At that time, they had not yet developed intelligence, possessing only instinctive consciousness and reactions. Until a person claiming to be a god came to their territory, awakened their intelligence, taught them cultivation methods, and brought them to the planet Xuanxing, where they only manifested in the world a thousand years ago.
However, this also placed a curse on them: the lifespan of the Spirit Race would not exceed two thousand years. The man explained, "Don't worry, a Chaos Being will appear in the future to break your curse and lead you to prosperity. What you need to do is help her when she is weak and assist her when she is strong. As for the curse, it can be broken by drinking her blood." He then took out a small cauldron and gave it to them.
So Lingrui was very happy. A thousand years ago, they had three Divine Origin cultivators, but now there are only two left, all because of the curse.
Ye Xiyun's eyes were firm, and without much thought, she replied directly, "I'm willing, as long as Senior can give me the Divine Herb."
Lingrui nodded, looking at the brave and decisive girl before him, "Young friend, please follow me."
With a "click," the barrier was opened. Without thinking much, Xi Yun followed him inside. The scene before her was magnificent, but she had no interest in looking at it. She and the old man arrived at a palace.
A large table stood in the center of the hall, and the three stood before it. Lingrui raised his hand and waved, and a wooden box and a gleaming bronze cauldron appeared on the table.
The old man pointed to the box, "Young friend, this is the Divine Herb."
Xi Yun couldn't hide her excitement. She immediately opened it, looked at it, and smelled it. It was just like the description in the book, so it shouldn't be fake.
"Young friend, you only need to fill this cauldron with your blood, which is about half of your blood. We will restore it for you afterwards, so don't worry," the old man continued.
"Okay, thank you, senior. I will keep my promise." Xi Yun cupped her hands and took out a small knife to cut the artery in her wrist.
In an instant, blood with a faint, pure aura flowed out, slowly filling the cauldron. Xi Yun's face also gradually turned pale as the small cauldron filled. Before long, with the last drop of blood, the cauldron was also full.
Xi Yun, pale-faced and dazed, was left sitting to one side, but she still managed to say, "Senior, please escort me back to the entrance of Medicine Valley. I'm in a hurry to get home."
"Shouldn't we recover first?" Lingrui asked.
"Need not"
“Well… alright then, let’s go.” Ling Rui thought about something else, then waved a beam of light, enveloping Ye Xiyun, and they flew towards the door together.
Lingrui seemed to sense Xiyun's urgency, and almost instantly, the two arrived at the entrance of the Medicine Valley.
Outside the Xuan Yu Sect, Zheng Qiao sensed a divine aura emanating from the Medicine Valley and immediately went there. Seeing Ling Rui with Xi Yun, whose face was deathly pale, he subconsciously questioned, "Why did you attack my disciple, fellow Daoist? Do you want to start another war?"
Lingrui quickly waved his hand, put Xiyun down, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zheng has misunderstood. Besides seeing this young friend out, I have another important matter to discuss with you today."
Xi Yun nodded to the two of them, cupped her hands in greeting, and staggered toward the door.
Zheng Qiao looked at Ling Rui, puzzled, and said, "What brings you here, fellow Daoist? Would you be willing to come and sit on my main peak?"
Lingrui nodded solemnly at Xiyun as she walked out and said, "Good, this is no small matter; it may concern the fate of our clan."
...
In dormitory 999, Lu Yeling was extremely anxious. Xi Yun made an excuse to go for a walk, and hadn't returned for two days. She had most likely gone to the Medicine Valley.
My brows have been furrowed for the past two days. On one hand, there's Sui Xin, with only a little over a day left, but Ye Hao still hasn't returned; on the other hand, there's Xi Yun, wondering if something might have happened to her in the Medicine Valley.
Suddenly, a weak figure rushed in, holding an ancient-looking box in his hand. He walked to the bedside and handed it to Lu Yeling, saying, "Mother, I got it."
Lu Yeling quickly helped Ye Xiyun up and asked with concern, "Yun'er, what's wrong with you?"
Xi Yun shook her head. "Mother, I'm fine. Let's save Sui Xin quickly."
Lu Yeling's expression was complicated. She patted Xi Yun's head and helped her sit down on the bed next to her.
Liang Jing saw this and gave Ye Xiyun a pill, which made her feel much better.
Liang Jing continued, glancing at Xi Yun, "The Divine Herb requires bringing a primordial spirit in, which carries a certain risk of both of their primordial spirits losing their way."
Just as Xi Yun was about to speak, Lu Yeling spoke up, "Elder, let me do it."
Liang Jing shook her head. "Your primordial spirit power is too strong. Perhaps Xi Yunlai would be better."
Lu Yeling was stunned for a moment. Xi Yun took Lu Yeling's hand and said with a gentle smile, "Mother, let me do it. I will definitely bring Suixin out. Don't worry."
Looking at Xi Yun before her, Lu Yeling couldn't help but shed tears. In the blink of an eye, both children had grown up, but she still seemed not to have gotten used to their growth and still treated them like children. "I won't say any more, just be sure to come back."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it," Ye Xiyun said with high spirits, contrary to her previous exhaustion.
"Okay," Liang Jing said, somewhat tempted as well.
Their family has a truly good relationship. Even though Xiyun and Suixin are not related by blood, they are still willing to rely on each other through thick and thin, showing great loyalty and affection. This is also the main reason why she agreed to let Ye Hao come and see Suixin.
"Don't resist now. I will guide your primordial spirit to merge with the Divine Herb, and then introduce the medicinal properties of the Divine Herb into your primordial spirit world. All you have to do is remember the location of the exit," Liang Jing instructed.
"Okay," Ye Xiyun nodded.
At this moment, Lu Yeling also spoke up, "It's okay if you forget the location, anyway, the direction without resistance is the correct direction."
The two explained a few things and then began to guide the conversation.
Xi Yun lay on the other bed. Liang Jing brought two fingers together and used spiritual energy to draw a white, gaseous substance—her primordial spirit—from between Ye Xi Yun's eyebrows and merge it with the Divine Herb. In an instant, the Divine Herb slowly melted and intertwined with the primordial spirit, then gently flowed towards Ye Sui Xin's brow and disappeared...
In the primordial spirit world, Sui Xin was still wandering aimlessly. The strong wind ahead made it difficult for him to walk, and the more he walked, the more powerless he felt in his body, for reasons he didn't know.
Suddenly, a light appeared not far away, so bright that he could hardly open his eyes and quickly shielded them with his hand. When he removed his hand, what appeared before him was a small blade of grass, emitting a faint halo and a familiar scent.
Looking at the grass, for some reason, I suddenly thought of Xiyun.
He had been thinking about his family members for a long time but hadn't seen them in a long time. Only the words that occasionally rang in his ears brought him some comfort.
But these past two days, when I walked into this dilapidated place, I couldn't even hear her voice anymore, and I don't know how she is now.
For a moment, Sui Xin stared blankly at the grass. Xi Yun, nestled within the grass, also saw Ye Sui Xin. Five years of longing, five years of guilt, five years of everything. She couldn't wait to share it all with him, yet it all remained unspoken.
At this moment, it was as if heaven and earth stood still, and their hearts flowed from the past to connect with the present.
His image lingers in my mind; I can't bear to part with him, I just can't bear to part with him.
Her voice echoed in my heart, longing, longing, and more longing.
