Chapter 347 - Forgotten Promise
Yun Lintian was lying flat on the bed while contemplating the recent situation. There were too many things he had to prepare for in the near future. Whether it was Poison Valley, the Peng clan, or Weilan Tianjun's threat. Everything wasn't something he could confront face to face with his current strength.
"Why did the mythical realm have to restrict the strength…." Yun Lintian muttered in dissatisfaction. He could break through to the Earth Profound Realm at any time, but he couldn't do it right away because he had to suppress his strength to enter the mythical realm. This kind of restriction was so annoying.
"Big Brother Yun. Why did you reveal your treasure to them?" Linlin, who was curling beside Yun Lintian, asked curiously. According to her understanding of Yun Lintian, he shouldn't trust anyone easily. She didn't understand why did he suddenly reveal his treasure like that.
Yun Lintian stroked Linlin's fur and answered. "Big brother wants to give them hope... Actually, five years are too short for us, the practitioners. It is almost impossible for us to raise our strength significantly even with the help of Moon Energy in this place. So, giving them these things is not only giving them hope but also serving as a motivation."
"At the same time, we can test their characters by doing this… Resources are essential things for any practitioner. Even the calmest person in the world might not be able to resist the temptation facing these heavenly treasures. However, these people didn't show any trace of greed so far… Well, except for fifth sister."
Yun Lintian smiled faintly and continued. "Big brother willing to trust them for the time being. Anyway, big brother still needs allies to deal with the enemy."
Linlin closed her eyes, enjoying being caressed by Yun Lintian. She was aware that Yun Lintian could escape at any time, but she was still worried. Now, listening to his explanation, she immediately realized it was the case.
The enemy Yun Lintian was about to face in the near future was too powerful for him to handle alone, and the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect might not grow up in time. There was nothing wrong with him looking for an ally.
After a while, Yun Lintian sat up and said. "Let's enter the Land of Beyond Heaven. Big brother needs to fetch something."
Linlin nodded her head and jumped onto Yun Lintian's shoulder. However, before Yun Lintian could summon the Gate of Beyond Heaven, the transmission jade on his waist suddenly shone with white light, indicating someone had contacted him.
When he picked it up, Cai Xuwen's voice immediately rang out from the other side. "Little Brother Yun, Junior Brother Yang has woken up now. Do you want to come over to take a look?"
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "I'll be there in a while." Following that, he put the transmission jade away and entered the Land of Beyond Heaven.
Yun Lintian went straight to find Yun Qingrou at the medicine garden behind the villa and handed Dragon Grass that he had picked up from the Fallen Dragon Forest, along with a few droplets of Fallen Dragon's blood.
"This is… Dragon Grass? And it's a perfect one." Looking at the golden dragon coiling shape grass in Yun Lintian's hand, Yun Qingrou was astonished. To this point, the Celestial Buddha Lotus was the highest-rank magical plant she had seen so far. And now, another Divine-rank plant had appeared before her. What kind of heaven-defying luck did Yun Lintian have?
"I don't know if we can grow it here. I will leave it to you." Yun Lintian said with a smile.
"There shouldn't be a problem." Yun Qingrou carefully took the Dragon Grass and the bottle of dragon blood away while speaking.
"Do we have a fire spirit pill here? A bottle can do." Yun Lintian asked. He had two purposes on coming here — finding suitable profound art for himself and fetching the Fire Spirit pill for Yang Chen.
"There are a few of them. You can go to the treasure hall." Yun Qingrou said and walked toward a vacant space on the east side, searching for a suitable place to plant the Dragon Grass.
Yun Lintian turned around and headed toward the center pagoda on Misty Lake. Along the way, he saw the disciples playing with the children in the pavilions. Joyous laughter could be heard from time to time. It seemed the children had recovered from the trauma and willing to trust everyone here now.
"Headmaster." Suddenly, a female's voice rang out from behind, causing Yun Lintian to stop his track and turn around to look at the voice owner.
"Yun Ci?" Yun Lintian was surprised slightly seeing Yun Ci standing there. During this period, Yun Lintian hadn't interacted with her much as he was busy with his own things. He remembered he had promised to find her mother, Yun Xilou, but he had completely forgotten about it.
"Sorry, I forgot about your mother's matter." Yun Lintian said apologetically.
Yun Ci shook her head with a smile. "I know Headmaster is busy. There's nothing to apologize with." She changed the topic. "Headmaster, where are you heading to?"
Yun Lintian looked into her eyes for a moment and did not see any resentment in them. He replied. "I'm going to fetch something from the treasure hall. How about you? What are you doing recently?"
Yun Lintian discovered Yun Ci's strength had already reached the peak of Spirit Profound Realm. From a mortal a few months ago to this point. This speed was extremely terrifying. The so-called heavenly geniuses on the outside could not compare to her at all.
Yun Ci smiled as she answered. "I am learning alchemy under Teacher Qingrou right now. I want to be useful for everyone here."
Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. Out of all arts, alchemy was the most difficult one. It needed a lot of patience as well as persistence. Yun Ci's character was too weak, but she actually chose to learn this. One could see how determined she was.
Yun Lintian took a deep look at Yun Ci for a moment and said. "I know you have something to tell me. Why don't you say it out?"
Yun Ci was startled for a second and became hesitant. She took a deep breath and said.. "I want to go out, Headmaster."
