Chapter 22 Prequel to the Dream



Led by the Jiang family, Monk Jiu Jiu and Jiang Lin went to Jiang Chenying's boudoir. Jiang's mother stood by her daughter's side, weeping uncontrollably.

Jiang Chenying lay on the bed, barely breathing, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

She was also reluctant to leave her family. If time could be reversed, she would never have easily touched the eerie, frigid ice in the secret realm.

Jiang Lin carried the medicine box of the Great Monk Jiu Jiu. He knew that his senior brother was bullying him again. His senior brother clearly had his own storage bag but didn't use it. He insisted that Jiang Lin carry the medicine box for him manually.

He said it was to appear sophisticated.

Okay, we're all out doing missions to earn spirit stones. Jiang Lin doesn't know anything about medicine, so he'll just obediently be his little follower...

The beaded curtain in the woman's boudoir rustled softly. Jiang Chenying looked over at the sound and saw a handsome young man in a royal blue robe carrying a medicine box carved from pear wood. Behind him stood a tall, sturdy, round-faced monk.

She had been ill for a long time, and her family had invited many renowned doctors and cultivators to help her, but they were all helpless; they were a bunch of quacks.

However, the boy carrying the medicine box was quite good-looking.

Her tired and listless eyes stared intently at Jiang Lin this time. He... was truly dashing and handsome. His amorous eyes were like the blush of peach blossoms, bright, dazzling, and captivating.

After asking some questions, the monk Jiujiu got a general understanding of Jiang Yueying's situation.

Jiang Lin took out a fiery red crystal lotus from his robes and used his spiritual power to extract the divine fire of Zhurong from it, handing it to the great monk.

The great monk then reshaped the divine fire that Jiang Lin had separated. The originally fiery red flame was shaped by his large hands into a thin thread of fire as delicate as silkworm silk.

The senior monk used his medical needles to create a traction, gradually inserting the fire thread into Jiang Chenying's acupoints.

Mr. Jiang stood quietly outside his daughter's room, while Mrs. Jiang kept wiping her daughter's sweat by her bedside. Time seemed to pass anxiously.

Xiao Zhuyi also stood guard outside Jiang Chenying's boudoir. She and Jiang's father didn't say much, just silently drank their tea.

In the past, in Denglin, Xiao Zhuyi, like the mountain spirits, drank directly from the rivers.

Later, she met Jiang Lin, who thought that drinking raw water was a bad habit, so he boiled hot water for her to drink.

How can you be this happy just from drinking hot water or tea?

Zhu Yi, who was watching from the sidelines, felt a little annoyed. This little girl was too disappointing. Sooner or later, she would be sold off and still be counting money for the seller!

Zhu Yi didn't see how the people inside the house treated Jiang Chenying. By the time Jiang Lin and the monk came out, the moon was already high in the sky.

Little Zhu Yi was fast asleep at the table outside the living room. Father Jiang didn't want to wake her, so he asked the maid to drape a clean, thin blanket over her.

Jiang Lin found it somewhat amusing to look at Xiao Zhuyi sleeping soundly, as if the day's fatigue had been greatly relieved at that moment.

He quietly picked up Xiao Zhuyi and went to the side room prepared for them at the Jiang residence. After settling Xiao Zhuyi in, he went to the side room next to hers. They needed to stay at the Jiang residence for a few days to treat Jiang Chenying's injuries.

Zhu Yi felt that she was like a voyeur, spying on their ordinary life.

Tianlan Sect, Taoshan.

"Meow! Master, do you want me to go to Qingxu Peak right now?" Zhao Cai was a little reluctant to run the errand, even though Jin Bao was much faster than it!

After three days of seclusion refining pills, Master Yujing was covered in the smell of medicinal herbs. He stroked Zhaocai's little head and said, "Let's go now and deliver some pills to those two little girls, and also give them some Nine-Turn Soul-Soothing Pills."

He took out a plump, marinated fish to tempt Zhao Cai: "I'll grill you a fish when I get back."

Zhao Cai grinned, grabbed a small net bag full of pills, and ran towards Qingxu Peak.

After leaving the alchemy room, Master Yujing went straight to Lotus Lake at the foot of Peach Mountain.

Lotus Lake has now been transformed by the Immortal Mirror, and from a distance, it looks exactly the same as before.

In fact, three days ago, Master Yujing modified the formation of Lotus Lake overnight.

He upgraded the formation that the sect's top disciple, Mu Yu, had set up for Su Linyuan. The Lotus Lake formation is now supported and operated by eighty-one top-grade spirit stones.

Lotus Lake is clearly divided into two parts: one half is allocated to Su Linyuan to break the curse, and the other half is allocated to Zhu Yi'an to nourish her soul. In the middle is a hidden dividing barrier set up by the Imperial Mirror Master.

It's quite a coincidence that the two young disciples are recuperating at the bottom of Lotus Lake.

Therefore, the protective barrier set up by the Mirror Master will appear to protect them when they encounter danger, preventing one side's spiritual energy from surging and accidentally injuring the other.

Master Yujing fed Zhu Yi a Soul-Soothing Pill, then placed her inside a huge white jade lotus platform. He also spread out various spiritual fruits around the lotus platform, which the little disciple could always use while recuperating here.

As for Su Linyuan, Master Yujing simply tossed a deep purple crystal lotus flower next to him and told him to play with it by himself.

Once he fully comprehends the "Lotus Heart Melody," he will be able to refine the demonic clouds within the amethyst lotus for his own use.

Master Yujing glanced at the little black snake curled up on the amethyst lotus in the distance, then looked at his little disciple sleeping peacefully on the white jade lotus platform.

He suddenly seemed to sense something, raised his hand to do a rough calculation, and then his gaze toward Su Linyuan became even more unfriendly. He snorted coldly, "You brat," flicked his sleeves to set up the barrier, and leisurely left Lotus Lake.

When Su Linyuan was comprehending the "Lotus Heart Melody" technique, it was as if he were having a dream.

At this moment, he had just finished his morning prayers in front of the solemn Buddha statue. He had become an outer disciple practicing on behalf of others at the White Horse Temple, a half-baked Buddhist practitioner.

He put away the scriptures and went to the vegetable garden near the Buddhist temple to find Xiao Zhuyi.

Su Linyuan was somewhat puzzled. He almost never dreamed, especially after he reached the Golden Core stage.

This dream feels very real. He can hide inside the little Buddhist monk's body and see what the little Buddhist monk sees through the little Buddhist monk's body, but he can't control any of the little Buddhist monk's decisions.

The vegetable garden was not far from the Buddhist temple. Jiang Lin found several cultivation techniques suitable for the mountain plant spirits in the library. He was going to take them to Xiao Zhuyi so that she could choose one to start cultivating.

He seemed to be imagining a scene where little Zhu Yi, with her furrowed brows and small nose, was picking and choosing while complaining to him that cultivation was too difficult and that she couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

His lips curved into a smile, a warm smile he couldn't quite maintain.

A figure flashed in front of him, and Jiang Lin looked up to see Jiang Chenying dressed in red.

Two months have passed since Jiang Chenying was treated, and she is now almost fully recovered.

"Where are you going, Senior Brother Jiang?" Jiang Chenying asked him with a polite smile.

Jiang Lin's smile faded: "Is there something you need to do at the vegetable garden, Fairy Jiang?"

"Well...it's nothing serious." Jiang Chenyue lowered her eyes and smiled, her words hesitant.

Seeing this, Su Linyuan, who was hiding in Jiang Lin's body, frowned: the way this female cultivator was acting coy and hesitant was exactly the same as how Li Mei had been scheming to entangle him in the mortal realm. He probably knew what this female cultivator wanted to do by stopping this little Buddhist cultivator.

"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now." Jiang Lin nodded and prepared to leave.

"Senior Brother Jiang, please wait!" Jiang Chenying said anxiously as he was about to leave. "I'm here to deliver your invitation."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for bringing the Zhurong Divine Fire to heal Chenying." Jiang Chenying gave a slight curtsy, performing a mortal greeting. "My birthday is in ten days. My parents want to celebrate with me, so they plan to host a banquet for some of my friends. I would like to invite Senior Brother Jiang to join in the festivities."

This was the first time Jiang Chenying had extended such an invitation to a man outside the family. She was a little nervous, and her hands were a little awkward as she handed over the invitation.

Just as Jiang Lin was about to say something, he looked up and saw Xiao Zhuyi hiding under a large willow tree not far away, eavesdropping and watching. He had a feeling that Xiao Zhuyi was a little unhappy at this moment.

Zhu Yi, who had been following Xiao Zhu Yi, saw it clearly: the one who handed Jiang Lin the love letter was Jiang Chenying.

No! How could she possibly forget that slender and graceful figure?

That's clearly Zhu Qianying!

Zhu Yi's mind was in turmoil. How could her dream, watching a youth romance movie, be related to Zhu Qianying?
