Using the flesh and blood of those with exceptional natural talent to make medicine and elixirs can have the effect of seizing the power of heaven and earth.
This is a rumor circulating in the Imperial Land, and it is also an evil technique that has been forbidden by the major super powers of the Imperial Land.
Qinglan dared not believe it, but had to believe it: what her most trusted and beloved junior sister, Yu Lingying, wanted was to use her own flesh and blood to refine pills and improve her talent and physique.
"Senior sister, didn't you always say that you would give me anything you had?"
"Now I want your flesh and blood, give it to me."
But what Yu Lingying received in return was a deafening roar that shook even the secret realm itself.
Qinglan actually chose to self-destruct.
Trapped in an illusionary formation and then ambushed by Yu Lingying with a single sword strike, facing a situation where he was down to less than one-tenth of his fighting strength and certain death, he chose the most ruthless way to end his life.
I will die rather than let Yu Lingying succeed.
This was Qinglan back then—proud, resolute, and fierce.
A self-destruction within a secret realm on the edge of such a divine land would naturally trigger numerous chain reactions.
The soul, protected by a spiritual jade, fell into a cracked space.
When she woke up again, she had become a four-year-old girl who had been separated from her family and wandered around due to the war.
Just when she was about to starve to death, a majestic general appeared on a tall horse.
The tall and imposing general held the small body in his arms and used his cloak to shield the sleeping little girl from the wind and cold.
When she woke up, she found herself in a general's tent.
The clothes she was wearing were actually a small suit of armor, which the mighty general had ordered to be made for her overnight.
Because there were no clothes for little girls in the military camp.
Her original clothes were so worn out that they were no longer wearable.
The little armor, combined with her thin and clumsy steps at only four years old, made the mighty general burst into laughter when she came before him.
He then picked her up and asked her softly.
"Do you still remember your name?"
"Wheat seedlings".
"Okay, then I'll call you Wheat Seedling, as a way of remembering your parents."
She liked being in the general's arms because it was warm and safe there.
Later, when the general returned home victorious from the battlefield, she, a wheat seedling without any relatives, naturally followed him back to his home.
It is also her home.
It was only then that she learned that the mighty general was none other than Marquis Da Yang Shenwei, Yi Jiusheng.
When she was still clutching a steamed bun tightly in her hand and would burst into tears helplessly when she saw a stranger, she met the most important person to her.
Young Marquis Yi Boqi.
That young marquis who said he hated her, yet would throw all the good food into her bowl.
He said, "I don't like crybabies. If you stuff your mouth with food, you won't cry."
They grew up together; she was a maid, yet she ate more than he did.
She was a maid, but she was raised by the lady of the house as if she were her own daughter.
She was indeed a maid, but she and Miss Kodama were as close as sisters.
In the Marquis's residence, everyone treated her, this wheat seedling that the Marquis had picked up from the battlefield, with utmost kindness.
Those were the happiest and most joyful days of her life.
Everyone there was her closest person, and they were all her family.
Just thinking about them brings her immense peace.
She was so calm that she felt no emotional fluctuation when she saw Yu Lingying.
There was a big problem with that mine back then; the alien aura and illusion array there were real.
Yu Lingying precisely led herself into the illusion array, and while she was trapped, she was able to move freely within it.
Therefore, her connection with the alien race is quite subtle.
Because she is a human being through and through.
The most important point is that Qinglan, a woman of exceptional talent, is the recognized next palace master of the Jade Spirit Palace.
How could she not have protectors?
But the moment she was trapped inside the illusion array, she lost contact with her protector.
After returning to the Imperial Land, Qinglan never again sensed the presence of her protector, the Grandmaster Uncle of the Jade Spirit Sect.
There was only one outcome: the grandmaster had perished.
Given his grandmaster's cultivation level back then, he was able to kill him without alerting the Jade Spirit Sect.
The person who made the move was definitely not Yu Lingying.
Since she didn't have that kind of strength back then, who was the one who killed her grandmaster?
Foreign race?
Or someone else?
It is precisely for these reasons that Qinglan did not choose to return as a king and immediately deliver a fatal blow upon meeting him.
According to her deduction, something tremendous must have happened within the Jade Spirit Palace after she disappeared.
So what she needs to do now is to make a comeback.
Because as long as I'm around, those people will always feel like they have a bone stuck in their throat.
They'll come out on their own.
"Senior sister has been missing for so many years. Although I am heartbroken, as the Palace Master, I bear the heavy responsibility of the entire sect. So I can only put aside my grief and manage the sect's affairs for the time being."
As Yu Lingying spoke, she stepped forward and took Qinglan's hand with genuine emotion in her eyes.
"Senior sister, come home with junior sister."
"My senior sister has been missing for too long. Back then, I searched for her frantically. Later, when the elders announced the withdrawal of the search order, although I knew I was not as outstanding as my senior sister, I still took on the position of Holy Maiden for the sake of the sect."
Holding Qinglan's hand, Yu Lingying walked slowly into the sect, telling Qinglan about the changes in the sect.
"Later, after I took over as sect leader, I selected a new Holy Maiden to ensure the continuation of the sect."
