Chapter 692: Chapter 694: Treatment (Part 8)
Seeing no response from him, Yao Lin couldn’t help but curse out loud, "You old immortal, why did you have to come back to life? Why didn’t you go die? Who allowed you to rely on the third brother again? Now you’re even more biased toward him, going so far as to kill your own biological son for someone who’s already dead!!! But, after the loss of the third brother, you turned your attention to Yao Yunqing. Why are you unwilling to hand those rights over to me? She’s just a woman, how could she possibly compare to me? If you dare to kill me today, I will curse you, curse you to an awful death, may your lineage be severed!!!"
His cry was heart-wrenching, his voice hoarse, as if the wail of an evil ghost that lingered long in everyone’s ears, until he was dragged away. Only then did the curse fade further and further away until it disappeared...
Yao Jun opened his eyes, and in that instant, he seemed to have aged decades, his expression revealing profound weakness.
"It seems I really am old..."
If he hadn’t been old, how could Yao Lin have dared to do such a thing right under his watch?
"Grandpa," Yao Yunqing pursed her lips slightly, her delicate face emitting a gentle glow, "let me introduce you to my friend Mu Ruyue, it was she who refined the Low-level Heavenly elixir that saved your life."
"Oh?"
Yao Jun’s gaze swept towards Mu Ruyue, and his eyes suddenly brightened, breaking into a slight smile, "Such a young Low-level Heavenly, young lady truly has exceptional talent. May I know who your mentor is?"
Only a master who was an Elixir Master could’ve taught such a disciple.
Mu Ruyue smiled faintly, "My master does not like me to speak his name."
"I see."
Yao Jun smiled, not taking offense at Mu Ruyue’s response. He understood that some powerful individuals prefer to live secluded in deep mountains, unknown to the world. Presumably, this young lady was accepted as a disciple by just such a powerful individual.
But to have such a disciple, perhaps her master was at the level of a Heavenly Rank Peak Alchemy Master...
"Miss, would you be willing to stay within the Yao Family for a few more days?" Yao Jun said with a smile, his voice incredibly polite yet not fawning.
In the presence of such a young alchemy prodigy, naturally, one must extend proper hospitality.
"No need, I still have to hurry to the Immortal Doctor Meeting. Therefore, I must set out now, however..." Mu Ruyue’s gaze flashed, "there’s no issue with your health, a Low-level Heavenly elixir was enough to heal you. Within the Medicine Sect, there should indeed be Low-level Heavenly Pharmacists. I wonder why they said there was no way to save you?"
She stopped there, believing that with Yao Jun’s intelligence, he would surely grasp what she was saying.
As expected, Yao Jun fell silent but said nothing.
"Big brother, Yunqing, before we go to the Immortal Doctor Meeting, I want to take you to a place first. Mom and Dad are waiting for you there. Once we leave that place, both of your strengths will enhance by leaps and bounds."
Mu Ruyue smiled with the corners of her lips raised.
Perhaps it was the events of the past few days that had provoked Xiao Feng, for as soon as he heard this, his cold eyes immediately lit up, "Good!"
Although Yao Yunqing didn’t say anything, it was beyond dispute. She too sought to enhance her strength. In this otherworldly realm where the strong are revered, without strength, one can hardly make a move...
"Qingqing, you’re leaving so soon?" Yao Jun was a bit startled, a sense of reluctance in his voice.
Yao Yunqing turned to look at the elder, her expression full of smiles as she spoke, "Grandpa, don’t worry, I will return very soon..."
