Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Venerable North Shadow of the Five Illumination Immortal Sect

Zhuo Yi stared at Nie Xiaoqian, who was in the midst of refining the Spirit Condensation Emerald, and asked, “Who is she?”

“This is Xiaoqian…,” before he could finish speaking, Li Xiaoyao suddenly widened his eyes in surprise and asked, “You can see her?”

“Mhm,” Zhuo Yi nodded slightly bewildered, not understanding why Li Xiaoyao would ask such a question.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who seemed no different from any other day—probably due to the effect of the Spirit Condensation Emerald. By now, Nie Xiaoqian seemed to have transcended her soul form and condensed into a corporeal entity.

“Boom!”

An immense oppressive force descended without warning, directly collapsing the hill.

Before Li Xiaoyao could even react, the cave they were in collapsed in an instant, exposing the vast sky.

A fear stemming from the depths of his heart spread throughout his body, and Li Xiaoyao reflexively looked towards the source of the feeling,

It was an old man with the appearance of a youth, sporting gray hair. His features were ordinary, but he had an ethereal air about him. At a glance, he seemed just like an average man with nothing special about him, yet the dangerous aura that alarmed Li Xiaoyao never left.

“This person is very strong!”

Li Xiaoyao’s gaze grew solemn. This mighty aura was something he had only felt from Xiaoqing before. Perhaps, only Xiaoqing would be able to contend with him.

The old man’s gaze swept across the three of them, finally resting on Zhuo Yi, revealing a toothy grin.

“Girl, this old man has observed that you possess an extraordinary physique, a cultivation talent not seen in a hundred years. How about becoming my closed-door disciple?” Up until the second before, Li Xiaoyao still thought the old man was a recluse of high standing, but after these words came out, the old man instantly fell in status to a huckster in Li Xiaoyao’s eyes.

Clinging to Li Xiaoyao, Zhuo Yi looked warily at the strange old man and vehemently shook her head, saying, “I don’t want to.”

“Don’t want to?” The old man probably did not expect to be rejected and did not know how to respond for a moment.

After a pause of about ten seconds, the old man suddenly produced a pile of items, causing Li Xiaoyao’s eyes to widen in disbelief.

“Girl, I have endless natural treasures, elixirs, cultivation methods, and art technique manuals here, as well as a selection of weapons for you to choose from. Anything you desire, I will procure for you by hook or by crook, should you choose to be my disciple.” The old man was truly keen on taking a disciple. The girl before him possessed a Ninth Rank Spirit Root, and if he were to accept her as his disciple and nurture her with care, her future accomplishments would surely be extraordinary.

The old man believed that no one could refuse the enticements he offered.@@novelbin@@

However, this time, he had miscalculated.

Gripping Li Xiaoyao’s arm tightly, Zhuo Yi continued to gaze at the strangely dressed old man and simply shook her head, saying, “I don’t want it; I only want Brother Xiaoyao.”

“Don’t want it?” The old man’s face twitched, then he looked toward Li Xiaoyao, who Zhuo Yi was leaning against, and with a knowing smile, said, “Affair of the heart is ultimately trivial. With such great talent, it would be a pity not to use it for cultivation.”

Li Xiaoyao shielded Zhuo Yi in his embrace and waited for the old man to say, “Who are you?”

The old man snorted softly with a hint of pride in his tone, saying, “I am the Sect Master of the Five Illumination Immortal Sect in the Cultivation World, Venerable Beiying.”

“Venerable Beiying? Never heard of him,” Li Xiaoyao said. “I don’t care who you are; this is my territory. If you’re wise, you’ll leave quickly, otherwise, don’t blame me for being inhospitable.”

“Inhospitable to me?” Venerable Beiying chuckled as if he had heard a laughable joke, shook his head, and said, “Had it been any other time, if you dared to speak to me this way, I would have surely slain you. However, today my mood is good, so I’ll spare your life.”

Having finished speaking, Venerable Beiying reached toward Zhuo Yi, and in an instant, an irresistible force came upon her, snatching Zhuo Yi away from Li Xiaoyao’s embrace and pulling her toward Venerable Beiying.

Zhuo Yi struggled desperately, but it was futile. Her watery eyes looked towards Li Xiaoyao, and her voice, full of reluctance, called out, “Big Brother Li, Big Brother Li!”

“Bastard! Let her go!” Li Xiaoyao was about to rush forward with a burst of speed, when the Venerable from the north struck back with his hand, unleashing an irresistible force that swept towards him and sent him tumbling through the air.

Li Xiaoyao had never felt such helplessness before. The overwhelming force made it impossible for him to resist.

“I’ll seal away this memory for you, for the time being, student. When you have achieved success in your cultivation in the future, the vast world will be filled with handsome men for you to choose from.” The northern Venerable lifted his finger and gently tapped it on her forehead. Zhuo Yi lost even the strength to struggle, her eyes closed, and her body slumped backward.

The northern Venerable scooped up Zhuo Yi and turned into a gust of wind, vanishing as if he had never existed in this world.

Li Xiaoyao climbed up from the ground, just in time to see the scene of the Venerable taking her away, and couldn’t help but bellow in rage, though he was powerless to do anything.

Time slowly passed by.

Nie Xiaoqian slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Li Xiaoyao standing not far away, his figure desolate and lonely, which made her slightly stunned.

Her gaze swept around and upon seeing the hill that had become ruins without knowing when, Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly asked, “My lord, what happened? What about Zhuo Yi?”

Li Xiaoyao turned around, forced a smile, and instead of answering, he asked back, “You have a body now?”

“Yes.” Nie Xiaoqian nodded and said, “The Spirit Condensation Emerald is truly miraculous; its medicinal power can condense a corporeal body.”

“Congratulations.” Li Xiaoyao then asked, “So, are you leaving?”

Faced with Li Xiaoyao’s question, Nie Xiaoqian’s gaze flickered, looking into his eyes, she countered, “Do you want me to leave?”

Li Xiaoyao suddenly cracked a smile and said, “Let’s go, head home.”

No explicit answer is the best answer.

Coming out of the cave, the people from Medicine God Valley were already outside, having rushed over upon hearing the commotion, only to see the collapse of the hill.

This hill was the tomb of the first Valley Master of Medicine God Valley. Now destroyed by Li Xiaoyao, the people’s hearts were filled with rage, though to deny it would be to lie to themselves. But what could their rage do?

Li Xiaoyao took out a jade bottle and tossed it to Wu Cheng, saying, “Here is a month’s antidote.”

Wu Cheng carefully caught it in his hands and asked, “Where do I find you after a month?”

“I will leave the antidote in Ling City. Have someone collect it regularly.” Li Xiaoyao took out another jade bottle and tossed it to Wu Cheng, saying, “These are seeds of some medicinal herbs. Plant them in the spot where the spiritual energy in Medicine God Valley is richest. I will come by from time to time to check on them. You know the consequences if there is any damage.”

Wu Cheng shuddered, nodding continuously, “I understand.”

“Good.” Li Xiaoyao had no mood for further conversation. Zhuo Yi’s departure had dealt him no small blow, half of which was because the old man was too strong, making him realize his own insignificance.

Only after Li Xiaoyao and Nie Xiaoqian had left Medicine God Valley did Wu Cheng and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

“Valley Master, should we issue a kill order?” Wu Xiangnan was filled with hatred towards Li Xiaoyao, wishing he could kill him with his own hands.

Wu Cheng shook his head and said, “Don’t you understand? He is too powerful for us to handle. And that kill order, who can ensure it would definitely kill him? If he does not die, we will be the ones to die. I can’t gamble with the lives of everyone in Medicine God Valley; we can’t afford to lose.”
