She has become much thinner.
Her face no longer looked as radiant.
Song Tingwan frowned apologetically, "When I return to my clan this time, I will first refine the Longevity Pill for you."
These past five years have been filled with little free time. The formula for the Longevity Pill is complete; all that's left is to refine it.
Upon hearing this, Song Hexi nodded with a smile, "No rush, no rush, I can hold on for a while longer. Awan and Ayao, it's more important to hurry up and find the fragments."
Awan wouldn't let him die like that.
Song Hexi believed her.
Therefore, he has been accepting his aging well lately.
This experience also gave him new insights.
My state of mind has been breaking through again and again, as if I am faintly ascending to heaven.
But he didn't tell anyone about this urgent period of repairing the ladder.
Looking at the old clan chief's slightly hunched back, Song Tingwan would try to refine the longevity pill whenever she could spare two or three days.
"Alright, let's go home first."
Seeing that they had finished speaking, Song Chaoxuan pointed in the direction of home to his two daughters.
"good."
The two sisters, both possessing outstanding qualities, responded in unison, demonstrating their trust and closeness.
After the elders finished speaking, Baili Xijiang quietly moved to the side of his master and sister, his face beaming with joy.
"Master! Sister!"
"You're finally back! I've missed you all so much."
Baili Xijiang sounded somewhat aggrieved.
Just like before, he tugged at his master's sleeve, tilted his chin up as if seeking favor, glanced silently at his smiling uncle, and said to his master:
“My alchemy skills have improved a lot! I have a feeling that I will soon be able to refine eighth-grade pills. Just as my master once said, when people mention the alchemy of the Six Realms, they will definitely think of us, master and disciple.”
He remembered everything Song Tingwan had said.
Shen Zhuochuan smiled beside his nephew, but did not speak rashly.
He was better off than the others; he had met her once before Yunyin, though it was a brief farewell, it was still better than what others had experienced.
The elders, including Song Chaoxuan, walked ahead, leaving space for them to talk.
Once we get home, we'll start discussing serious matters again.
"Xiao Hei is very powerful."
Seeing the hint in her little apprentice's eyes, Song Tingwan suppressed a smile and proudly praised him.
"Besides his progress in alchemy, my little apprentice has also saved many people, hasn't he?"
Baili Xijiang raised his chest, "Yes! They all respectfully call me Baili Dansheng, and they all look at me with hope—"
Speaking of the second half of the sentence.
His voice weakened, "Unfortunately, many people still died before my eyes."
"I couldn't save them."
From birth until now, apart from the hundred years of suffering after Song Tingwan's sacrifice, Baili Xijiang has never experienced any feeling of despair.
This was enough to make him question his own abilities.
A seventh-grade alchemist is still not strong enough.
Seeing his droopy face, the joyful atmosphere faltered.
Song Siyao pursed her lips and patted his shoulder. "You've done your best."
Baili Xijiang forced a smile at his sister.
Song Tingwan stopped to the side, and everyone else stopped as well.
She looked at Baili Xijiang with a smile, her voice gentle: "That is Baili Dansheng, whose master is not here."
“Your master is back. Baili Dansheng is worthy of their trust. Every hopeful look from now on will not be disappointed.”
Although it was clearly a pampering and indulgent remark, Baili Xijiang felt like crying when he heard it.
With Qin Xi gone, the people who criticized him are gone.
Shen Zhuochuan's smile deepened. Song Siyao thought for a moment and then quietly said, "If Qin Xi were here, she would say you're a crybaby."
Then Wanqiji would watch them with a muffled laugh from behind.
Baili Xijiang quickly covered his eyes, "I didn't. The races that need help are all behind me. Baili Dansheng is not a crybaby."
Song Tingwan lowered her head and smiled, "Yes, yes, how could our Baili Dansheng be a crybaby?"
She took the initiative to tug at her young apprentice's sleeve, "Come on, tell me about the effects of the latest pills along the way."
Baili Xijiang sniffed sharply, quickly straightened his expression, and began to earnestly explain the new elixir he had concocted for the merfolk.
The master and apprentice talked about serious matters along the way, while Song Siyao and Shen Zhuochuan followed quietly by their side, neither of them making a sound to disturb them.
Behind them, the clansmen were relieved to see that they were safe and sound, and dispersed to say hello when they had time. They also planned to visit the two young girls of the Song family to deliver new and beautiful jewelry.
The curious elves and merfolk who had followed listened for a while. As Baili Xijiang earnestly explained the problem of the new pill, and Song Tingwan's gentle and calm voice, they seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
The journey was neither short nor long.
It seemed like they were back home in the blink of an eye.
The people who followed completely dispersed.
An elf of such beauty that it was impossible to tell if she was male or female followed behind them and walked up to Song Chaoxuan and the old clan chief.
"Elf King, is this your first time visiting the Xuan family of the Song Dynasty? Please have a seat." Song Hexi warmly greeted him, his hands resting on the ends of his cane.
Just as everyone was about to sit down, Canxing rushed over.
Song Tingwan smiled gently, her eyes crinkling. "I thought our High Priest was busy."
Canxing looked over, her face slightly flushed with embarrassment, "Sister Wan, Sister Yao, I went to the Elf Clan to get something."
The Elf King nodded slightly with an air of nobility. His features were as handsome as if sculpted by moonlight, and his pointed ears and the thin wings that flashed behind him added a touch of mystery.
It also seemed to carry a refreshing scent of the forest.
"You can just hand it over to her."
Canxing nodded, and a potted plant suddenly appeared in his hand.
A small plant in the pot has withered leaves, but it shimmers with a fluorescent green light. Its appearance makes the whole hall seem to enter a refreshing space.
