Elder Long was a Heavenly realm expert. If his injuries could be healed, it would undoubtedly bring immense benefits to the forces within the ruins and to the Chinese forces outside.
Therefore, he wanted Yao Bao'er to give it a try.
"A doctor outside the ruins?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I think I'll pass!"
Elder Long turned his head to glance at Ye Cangtian, his tone laced with a hint of helplessness.
He knew Ye Cangtian's intentions were good, but how could an outsider doctor possibly heal him?
In his opinion, no matter how skilled an outsider doctor was, could they compare to the Hidden Organization's medical team?
Moreover, in his impression, due to technological development, most doctors outside were the kind who couldn't diagnose without instruments.
He couldn't trust such doctors.
On the other side, seeing Elder Long's attitude, Ye Cangtian quickly approached and said, "Old Sir, have you heard about Shangguan Yanran's condition?"
Hmm?
Elder Long was taken aback. Why had Shangguan Yanran been brought up in the conversation? He was momentarily confused.
But when he came to his senses, he nodded.
Previously, the Hidden Organization's team had been helpless with Shangguan Yanran's condition, and Dongfang Mingyue had specifically come to consult him.
So, he had some understanding, but he was also unable to help with that kind of situation.
Thinking of this, he cast a questioning glance.
Sensing Elder Long's confusion, Ye Cangtian explained, "This sister I brought back found an effective treatment method for Shangguan Yanran. Although Yanran hasn't recovered, she's at least showing signs of improvement..."
What?
Upon hearing this, Elder Long's eyes widened, and the contemptuous look on his face vanished instantly.
If even Shangguan Yanran could be treated, then her medical skills were undoubtedly superb, and she might indeed be able to heal his injuries.
With this thought, he spoke, "If this sister of yours is truly as capable as you say, then introduce her to me when you have the time."
"No problem, but my sister's cultivation is not high, and it's not safe in the ruins. If I'm not around in the future, I ask that you look after her a bit."
Ye Cangtian said.
Now that Yao Bao'er had been safely delivered to Dragon City, he considered his mission complete.
Staying any longer would not help Shangguan Yanran's condition or Elder Long's injuries; everything now depended on Yao Bao'er herself.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian had decided from the start to return to the capital as soon as he delivered Yao Bao'er, as there were many things waiting for him there!
Elder Long naturally wouldn't refuse such a request from Ye Cangtian and readily agreed.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian was finally completely at ease.
With Elder Long, Dongfang Mingyue, and Jian Wusheng, three Earth realm experts, protecting her, and being in Dragon City, he believed no one would be able to harm Yao Bao'er.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian leaned in and smiled, "Old Sir, I've now reached the mid to late Earth realm. How should I continue my cultivation? Could you give me some advice?"
"Everyone's situation is different, and the methods of cultivation are also different."
"You can continue your previous cultivation methods, or you can find or create a cultivation method that suits you. Just go for it."
"You must understand that there are myriad paths to the Dao, but they all lead to the same destination in the end."
Elder Long glanced deeply at Ye Cangtian and said faintly.
The Earth realm was unlike the Profound realm.
In the Profound realm, with sufficient talent, some guidance, and personal effort, there was a certain chance of reaching the Earth realm.
But Earth realm experts were different; they were striving to become Heavenly realm experts.
Heavenly realm experts could not be reached by mere guidance and effort; they required absolute talent and the discovery of one's own Dao.
The Dao here was not about morality or ethics, nor about laws and regulations, but rather a martial path suitable for oneself, capable of breaking through all shackles.
And the martial path was all-encompassing, different for everyone, and even harder to find and certify.
In addition to these, to step into the Heavenly realm, one also needed certain opportunities. Otherwise, even if one found a suitable martial path, it would be difficult to break through the barrier.
These conditions were also the reasons why many peak Earth realm experts could not step into the Heavenly realm.
Listening to the old man's slow explanation, a cold sweat broke out on Ye Cangtian's forehead.
With such demanding conditions, he didn't know if he would be fortunate enough to become one of the Heavenly realm experts.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but sigh, alas! The path of martial arts is truly not easy!
And what is the most suitable martial path for me!
"Kid, stop thinking about those unrealistic things. You are still very far from the Heavenly realm. Focus on breaking through to the peak of the Earth realm first!"
"What you should do now is catch fish for this old man!"
"After you left, I haven't tasted the ruin's sturgeon for a long time..."
Seeing Ye Cangtian zoning out, Elder Long knew what he was thinking without asking and urged him on.
"Alright!"
Ye Cangtian smiled wryly and immediately responded.
Then he went to the riverbank.
...
The next morning.
After breakfast, Ye Cangtian first went to Jian Wusheng's residence to check on Shangguan Yanran's condition.
Although Shangguan Yanran was still in a state of agitation, it had subsided significantly compared to yesterday.
And according to Yao Bao'er, Shangguan Yanran had even woken up for a while that morning.
Not only had her waking time been much longer than yesterday, but according to Shangguan Yanran herself, last night was the most peaceful sleep she had had in months.
Throughout the entire process, she was not affected by nightmares in the slightest.
Learning that everything was progressing in a positive direction, Ye Cangtian called Yao Bao'er aside and then told her about Elder Long's situation.
Yao Bao'er did not refuse.
However, when she heard that Ye Cangtian was leaving soon, her expression suddenly changed.
"Boss, this is a super dangerous Chinese ruin, are you really going to leave me here alone?"
Facing Yao Bao'er's questioning, Ye Cangtian was also helpless and had to say, "Bao'er, I don't want to either, but I have important matters to attend to and must leave. However, your safety can be guaranteed."
"You scoundrel boss, I'll never trust you again. You're actually abandoning me!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Bao'er immediately became anxious.
"Bao'er, don't get agitated. Snacks are plentiful here. Someone will chat with you when you're bored, and your safety is guaranteed!"
"Moreover, there are many natural treasures in the ruins for you to research elixirs. This place is practically paradise for you..."
"Don't worry, I'll be back to pick you up soon, I promise!"
Under Ye Cangtian's explanations and promises, Yao Bao'er finally calmed down.
After bidding farewell to Yao Bao'er, Ye Cangtian headed directly to the Hidden Organization.
"You brat, you really arrive in a hurry and leave in a hurry!"
"You've only been here for a day, and you're already leaving?"
As soon as Ye Cangtian entered the office, Dongfang Mingyue, who was sitting in the boss's chair, said irritably.
She had already received news about Shangguan Yanran.
And from the news from the Dragon Organization, Old Master Xu had mentioned that Ye Cangtian would not stay in the ruins for too long.
Now that he had found a way to treat Shangguan Yanran, it was obvious that he had come to bid farewell.
"Hehe, Sister Mingyue is indeed brilliant. My little thoughts are completely understood by you."
Ye Cangtian chuckled and leaned in.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's mischievous look, Dongfang Mingyue couldn't help but shudder and immediately became vigilant.
She glanced at Ye Cangtian and said, "You brat, your words are so sweet, you must have something to ask of me, right?"
"Haha, I knew Sister Mingyue was brilliant, it's true!"
Ye Cangtian laughed heartily and then, without concealment, said, "Sister Mingyue, my strength has increased considerably, and my safety is more guaranteed. I wonder if I can now access the files of the Tang Qingshan couple?"
That's right, Ye Cangtian came to see Dongfang Mingyue not only to say goodbye but, more importantly, for the Tang Qingshan couple's case.
Old Master Tang had been thinking about this matter constantly, and since he had promised, he would go all out.
"Hmph! You've just broken through to the Earth realm, and you're already getting cocky?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you? This matter is extraordinary, and even I was warned not to look into it, which means even I cannot handle it!"
"Now you're bringing this up with me, do you think your strength has surpassed mine? That you have the ability to protect yourself?"
Upon hearing about the Tang Qingshan couple, Dongfang Mingyue's expression instantly turned grim, and she snorted coldly.
She also wanted to know the secrets involved, but she always kept Dongfang Hongwu's warning in mind when he left, not daring to disobey it in the slightest.
