Chapter 105 Junior Sister Switches to the Path of Ruthlessness 16 Lips
The fifth senior brother from Lingyao Hall came by and took Yun Chiyi's pulse for a long time. He said that she had been worrying too much recently, and the depression was stuck in her chest, causing her to faint due to the reverse flow of her true energy.
Yun Chiyi heard half of it, then shut down her five senses and directly entered her sea of consciousness to cultivate her mental technique.
Unbeknownst to her, as she lay peacefully in bed, several of her senior brothers were whispering and discussing in the room about giving her a cooling herbal medicine.
"Fifth Junior Brother, you definitely can't use this medicine. It's a low-grade elixir. How can Junior Sister use such a medicine?"
"Four senior brothers, this medicine is the most effective."
"No, no, use my White Sand Snow Lotus."
Wan Qingyun glanced at the sleeping Yun Chiyi, then at his senior brothers who were engrossed in their discussion. After a moment of distraction, he secretly slipped out.
As the night grew quiet, Yun Chiyi slowly opened her eyes, startled by the figure sitting upright at the tea table, and squinted her eyes briefly.
Lin Yuwan brewed a pot of cooling tea and placed it on the table to cool. Hearing the rustling of her clothes, she knew that she had woken up.
He blew on the hot tea and said, "Senior Sister was so worried about Wan Qingyun that her blood and qi were affected, and she fainted for half a day."
Yun Chiyi got out of bed, picked up the tea in his hand and drank it: "Don't add any extra flavor."
She sat down opposite him, looked up and asked, "You can come and go as you please in my room, or you can stay here instead."
Lin Yuwan said, "I came here today because I have important matters to discuss with my senior sister."
Yun Chiyi: "Speak."
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her up from her seat.
"It can't be explained in a few words. If you come with me, Senior Sister, you'll know everything."
These words sounded familiar. Yun Chiyi sealed the door, and the two of them climbed out of the window and onto the street again.
The surroundings were silent. Lin Yuwan walked ahead. He had long, white legs, but he walked very slowly. Several times, Yun Chiyi's pace surpassed his, and he had to stop and wait.
As the road ahead became increasingly familiar, Yun Chiyi grew suspicious: "Isn't this the road to the old temple? What are we going there for?"
Lin Yuwan said, "Magic is forbidden in the town, but nobody here can stop us."
He pushed open the dilapidated door, brushed the dust off the bench with his sleeve, and turned back with a smile, saying, "Please sit for a moment, senior sister."
Yun Chiyi sat down patiently to see what trick he was going to play. As soon as she sat down, she saw Lin Yuwan cut her palm with a dagger, and blood gushed out like a spring. She immediately straightened up, and as Lin Yuwan looked at her coldly, she pressed herself back down.
Lin Yuwan squatted down and drew an array with blood. She said calmly, "Years ago, when I was traveling, I met a reclusive immortal named Hundred Birds God. She could answer questions for all living beings, but seeing her always came at a price."
"Isn't Senior Sister concerned about the identity of the man in black? Let's go find her and ask her."
A blood-red teleportation array gradually appeared beneath his feet. The blood in his palms still hadn't stopped flowing. He raised his blood-stained hand and said, "Senior sister, let's go."
Yun Chiyi walked into the teleportation array with an indifferent expression and placed her hand in his palm.
A smile appeared on Lin Yuwan's face as she tightened her grip on Yun Chiyi's hand. Immediately, blood-red light filled the dilapidated temple hall, and countless small black hands wrapped around Yun Chiyi's waist before retreating the moment Lin Yuwan embraced her.
Her vision was obscured by the black mist. Yun Chiyi felt her eyes were itchy, yet also very warm. She then realized that Lin Yuwan had covered her eyes with her hands.
A moment later, surrounded by the melodious chirping of swallows, Lin Yuwan let go of her hand. Yun Chiyi closed her eyes, moved her eyeballs to moisten them, and when she opened them again, she still couldn't see clearly, only hearing the birdsong.
"Senior sister, come here, take my hand."
Lin Yuwan skillfully took Yun Chiyi's hand, and he moved forward without hindrance in the dim light.
"Having been here once, you'll be able to see it clearly next time you come."
Yun Chiyi was half-believing and half-doubting. After walking about a hundred steps, Lin Yuwan suddenly stopped and handed the token at her waist to the gatekeeper.
"The Hundred Birds Token, so you are an important person. Please come in."
As she gradually became able to see her surroundings more clearly, Yun Chiyi discovered that she was in a damp cave. With a wave of her hand, the narrow doorway slowly opened.
After passing through several places, we arrived at a warm, dry cave with only a faint light.
"An old acquaintance, what brings you here today?"
A clear, crisp voice came from above. Yun Chiyi looked up and thought to herself that Lin Yuwan must have offended some kind of demon. What kind of immortal would live in such a place?
Lin Yuwan tossed out a purse, and the black purse floated up.
"I'd like to ask about the background of the owner of this item."
The Hundred Birds God remained silent for a long time, then suddenly gasped: "This aura..."
Yun Chiyi recognized that the purse belonged to the man in black. Lin Yuwan was also very capable, managing to obtain his personal belongings.
However, the deity's tone made her hold her breath, as if the owner of the item was someone of great importance.
The Hundred Birds God said again, "I don't know where you got this from, but it is the spiritual energy of a fallen immortal. I haven't encountered it for a long time."
"The twelve fallen immortals voluntarily followed the demon god Qiu Kun. Now that the fallen immortals have appeared in the world, the Three Realms will probably not be at peace for long."
Lin Yuwan said, "I came here for more than just to ask about his identity."
The Divine Lord said, "Fallen Immortals are immortal and ageless. Ordinary magical artifacts cannot harm them in the slightest. However, Cloud Immortal Island has a treasure that can kill Fallen Immortals. But Cloud Immortal Island has been secluded for ten thousand years and its traces have long been lost. If you can find it, you will have a way to control Fallen Immortals."
Saying that was as good as saying nothing, Yun Chiyi looked up and asked, "The Divine Lord is all-powerful, so he should know the clues about Yunxian Island."
The Hundred Birds God said, "I don't know either. Perhaps you can look for clues about the Blue Flower Beast."
Legend has it that the Blue Flower Beast was the mount of a certain deity, and a deity also ascended to heaven on Cloud Immortal Island, so the relationship between them is naturally connected.
"Alright, I'm tired. You may leave after you've had your drinks."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chiyi was filled with countless questions, but Lin Yuwan, familiar with the procedure, led her to a nearby table.
As soon as they sat down, the candles on the table were lit, and a set of wine cups glowed with a dark green light.
The liquid inside was cloudy and thick. Just as Yun Chiyi was hesitating whether to drink it or not, Lin Yuwan across from her finished drinking two cups in succession.
He poured another cup into a separate cup and fed it to Yun Chiyi's lips: "It tastes pretty good."
Yun Chiyi touched some wine on her upper lip, the sweet taste lingering on her lips, and drank a glass from Lin Yuwan's hand.
She wanted to pour a second cup, but Lin Yuwan raised her hand to stop her.
"Senior sister, don't overindulge in alcohol. One cup is enough for your first visit."
Yun Chiyi was feeling dizzy after drinking. She straightened her wrist and rested her chin on it. Lin Yuwan reached out and held her cheek, then began to explain in a low voice.
"Senior sister, I told you before we came that seeking answers from the Divine Lord would come at a price, and now it's time to collect the reward."
She thought that he had already paid his due by using blood to start the battle.
She didn't hear what he said after that, only a few key words: Dream Elixir, lifespan...
Then a soft, warm touch landed on my lips.
Yun Chiyi slept soundly and vaguely remembered having a dream about the blue-and-white beast, but she couldn't remember anything else.
She didn't know how she got back to her room, and when she woke up, it was already the day of the Star-Treading Banquet.
Her fellow disciples thought she had really been unconscious for many days, and they were so anxious that they paced around her room all day long.
Yun Chiyi felt weak and rested for more than an hour before she felt better.
She already knew that the Hundred Birds God Lord used the Dream Elixir to lure people into a dream, and took away more than ten years of her lifespan when she was most relaxed. No wonder Lin Yuwan had been evasive and unwilling to say it openly all the way.
If she were to reveal it, Yun Chiyi would rather investigate herself than take this shortcut.
His two-faced behavior hasn't changed at all.
If I see him today, I'll definitely have to question him a couple of times.
Yun Chiyi changed into Qingming's disciple robes. She rarely wore moon white, and even in Qingming she wore blue, but today was the first day of the Flower-Piercing Banquet, so she should wear disciple robes.
The distant mountaintop was shrouded in ethereal mist. At this moment, the two elders of Qingming were already enjoying the Flower-Adorning Banquet.
Dozens of disciples flew from the foot of the mountain to the top on their swords. Qingming and his other senior brothers wanted to show off, so they used all their strength to fly ahead of Yun Chiyi. She glanced at them lightly and maintained her original speed at a leisurely pace.
Before entering the illusion, Yun Chiyi didn't see Lin Yuwan, but she did see the other members of the Cangfeng Sect.
As soon as the illusion opened, Yun Chiyi's figure was sucked into it.
Time and space seemed to spin, snowflakes danced in the air, and disciples from other sects with lower cultivation levels shivered from the cold.
Yun Chiyi stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down into the bottomless, dark abyss. They were all standing here. If they wanted to find the demons in the illusion, the first step was to cross this abyss.
"Senior Sister Yun, don't stand so close, or you'll fall and be eliminated."
When Si Qingwu saw that she was there, she ran over with a beaming smile.
Yun Chiyi looked behind her, but only saw Si Lanjuan slowly walking over.
She looked away, and Si Qingwu, seeing her expression, smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yu Wan is also in this illusion, but he just went there to investigate."
Si Qingwu pointed into the distance, then reluctantly followed Yun Chiyi: "Father said that our first challenge is Hundred-Foot Cliff, where a centipede is locked at the bottom. If we fly over it without any precautions, it will grab our heels and drag us down the cliff, thus missing out on the hunt later."
Yun Chiyi said, "Isn't this the first great demon? Why bother searching everywhere?"
"Senior sister always takes risky moves in chess."
Lin Yuwan's voice came from the thick fog behind her. Yun Chiyi turned around and saw that her movements had disturbed the fog.
Seeing the nameless anger rising in his heart, Yun Chi smiled faintly: "Aren't some people's methods even more dangerous?"
She stared straight at her, but Lin Yuwan immediately looked away the moment their eyes met.
Why does he seem a little guilty?
He wouldn't feel guilty about that incident; he's not that kind of person.
Lin Yuwan stood to her right, two steps away, while Yun Chiyi looked at his profile with an ambiguous gaze.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Si Lanjuan broke the awkward silence with her voice, and amidst the shocked gazes of the others, the four of them leaped down the rock face.
