Chapter 139: The Second Elder is a Holy Body! (Part 2)

Ling'er blinked and said, "Gal pal, what's wrong with you?"

"Pfft, you're the one who's gone crazy!"

"I was just thinking, that scene of you refining pills, it can't be seen by others."

"Otherwise..."

"It might bring disaster upon yourself!"

Huo Yun'er clicked her tongue and then solemnly warned her.

"Mhm." Xiao Ling'er nodded.

She naturally understood this.

That technique was an original creation of Yao Laolao.

If it were to be leaked, her 'dear senior sister' would definitely spare no effort to get rid of her.

Right now, neither she nor the Moon Holding Palace could withstand the consequences.

At least...

She'd have to wait until she reached the Sixth Stage before she'd have some power to resist.

"But that day won't be too far away!"

She clenched her fist and then said, "I'm going to deliver the pill to the Second Elder, do you want to come with me?"

"Let's go."

Huo Yun'er expressed that she was just as idle.

...

"Ling'er."

After receiving the Revitalizing Pill, Wu Xingyun was deeply moved. She had a thousand words in her heart, but when it came to speaking, not a single word came out.

"Second Elder, I understand."

"I know what you want to say, I understand it all."

"But you should also know my thoughts, right?" Xiao Ling'er grasped Wu Xingyun's hand tightly, her expression sincere.

"That's true."

Hearing this, Wu Xingyun suddenly laughed carefree.

"It's me who's attached to form."

"Having you is a blessing for our Moon Holding Palace!"

"You're too kind, Elder. If not for the contributions and perseverance of the elders, how could our Moon Holding Palace exist today?"

"I won't disturb you further. Please take the pill quickly, so I can protect you and observe its effectiveness."

"Good!"

Wu Xingyun no longer hesitated.

In fact, she couldn't even remember when she had become like this.

Recalling the past, she had been full of confidence, wanting to challenge the heavens.

Back then, she never imagined that she would end up like this.

If the confident her of the past saw her current self, how would she react?

She shook her head and laughed, sitting in a meditative posture. After taking a Revitalizing Pill, she began to heal her injuries.

As the medicinal power took effect, it was like heavenly rain nourishing the parched earth filled with ravines, the effect was excellent, and the results were immediate.

Unconsciously...

Wu Xingyun broke through.

It was more like a recovery to her original realm than a breakthrough.

Before Xiao Ling'er joined the sect, Wu Xingyun had been stuck at the peak of the Fifth Stage due to Dao injury.

Later, she broke through to the Sixth Stage after recovering slightly from the pills.

But then, she regressed due to the previous battle.

This time, she recovered once more.

However...

At this moment, it wasn't just a simple recovery.

First level of the Fifth Stage.

Second level of the Fifth Stage.

...

Third level of the Fifth Stage!!!

Furthermore, her cultivation was still slowly increasing.

"Ling'er, why is your Second Elder's breakthrough speed so fast? Even if it's a recovery from Dao injury, it shouldn't be this fast, right?"

"Unless..."

"Unless what?" Xiao Ling'er asked.

In her sea of consciousness, Yao Laolao provided the answer.

"Holy Body."

"What?"

Xiao Ling'er was stunned.

"Holy Body?"

"Out with the old, in with the new. Break and then establish."

"The accumulation and suppression won't hinder her path. Instead, when her Dao injury recovers, it will allow her to grow and break through within a short time."

Yao Laolao exclaimed, "I thought she'd have Heaven-tier talent after her recovery, but I never expected it to be... a Holy Body."

"This also indirectly shows how severe her Dao injury was."

Xiao Ling'er fell silent.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

But soon, she thought of a question, "Teacher, if the Second Elder is truly a Holy Body, then what about the Revitalizing Pill?"

"It's not enough."

"We need to refine the Heaven-Repairing Pill for her to fully recover and return to her peak as a Holy Body." Yao Laolao sighed, "I never expected this."

"!!!"

"Teacher, it's not your fault."

Xiao Ling'er was both surprised and delighted.

She was surprised that even the Revitalizing Pill wasn't enough.

She was delighted because it was a Holy Body!

Didn't this mean the Second Elder had infinite potential?

Although she couldn't fully recover for the time being, Xiao Ling'er was confident that she'd be able to refine the Heaven-Repairing Pill one day.

But why had no one mentioned this before?

"Her Holy Body is quite special, hidden and unassuming. Perhaps even she herself doesn't know about it." Yao Laolao said, "That's why I couldn't see through it before."

"Even now, I can't be certain what kind of Holy Body she has."

"Perhaps we'll only know once she fully recovers and reveals her Holy Body?"

"Or maybe all five elders of the Moon Holding Palace know but dare not reveal it."

"This..."

"That's also possible."

Xiao Ling'er understood.

Either they didn't know, or they knew but dared not speak.

For Xiao Ling'er, it was the same either way.

"If your Second Elder is truly a Holy Body, she's extraordinary." Huo Yun'er whispered.

"Mhm."

"Our Moon Holding Palace's elders are naturally excellent."

"..."

Finally, Wu Xingyun broke through.

A loud cracking sound filled the air as her cultivation forcefully broke through to the Fifth Stage, Fifth Level.

A smile appeared on her face.

"Second Elder, how do you feel?"

Xiao Ling'er hurriedly asked.

"Great, I've never felt better."

Wu Xingyun raised a finger, and countless profound mysteries gathered around her, swirling without dispersing.

Good news, not bad news.

Xiao Ling'er sighed bitterly, "If I'm not mistaken, you haven't fully recovered yet, right?"

Wu Xing Yun's expression remained unchanged as he dispersed the profound energy that had gathered around him, "So you've figured it out?"

"I never expected that your original talent was so astonishing, Second Elder."

Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath, "Give me some more time, and I'll definitely help you recover completely."

"That's very kind of you."

"But there's no need to rush."

"I have a hunch."

"With my current state, I can cultivate to the level of a Great Power, or even higher realms." Wu Xing Yun suddenly felt the confidence he had back then returning.

"Certainly!"

Xiao Ling'er nodded heavily, then asked curiously, "Second Elder, I've never asked, but what happened in that battle back then? Why were you so severely injured?"

"..."

Wu Xing Yun slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Telling you won't be a problem."

"Back then, I followed my Master and some fellow disciples on an expedition. We were supposed to hunt some demonic beasts and patrol our territory..."

"But we never expected to be ambushed."

"In that battle, my Master and the other disciples were almost all killed or severely injured."

"I fought desperately, using all kinds of secret techniques, almost burning all my essence blood, and even damaging my Dao foundation, but I could only barely save some familiar faces."

"Even so, after we returned, those fellow disciples also gradually faded away in the long river of history."

"Some died from their severe injuries, unable to recover, while others recovered but later passed away due to other unforeseen circumstances."

"After that battle, the Moonseizing Sect completely declined."

She sighed lightly.

"At that time, the Moonseizing Sect still had the strength of a second-rate sect."

"But within a century after that battle, the Moonseizing Sect..."

"A conspiracy?" Xiao Ling'er frowned, "Was it deliberately orchestrated by someone?"

"..." Wu Xing Yun raised his head and said softly, "Talking about this now is too early. What you should do is cultivate diligently and continuously improve."

"Whether it's for yourself or for the sect, this is what you should do."

"When you and I, when the sect becomes strong enough, the truth of what happened back then will naturally come to light."

"None of our past enemies will be able to escape."

As he spoke, a chilling killing intent spread.

Wu Xing Yun appeared calm, but in reality, he had been enduring all along.

Without strength, one could only endure, and he didn't even dare to investigate the truth of what happened back then.

But if he had the strength...

"..."

...

"Ling'er, are you okay?"

On the way back, Huo Yun'er was a bit worried.

"I'm fine."

Xiao Ling'er sighed lightly, "I just feel a bit suffocated thinking about the experiences of our sect's ancestors."

"But as the Second Elder said, what we should do is improve as quickly as possible."

"Let all our enemies only see our backs, until they are out of reach."

"By then, we will naturally have the strength to destroy everything and take back everything!"

"Mhm."

Huo Yun'er waved her small fist, "Go for it!"

"I believe in you, my bestie."

...

"Are we almost there?"

Lian Bo held the communication talisman and jumped up from his meditation cushion, "Okay, okay."

"Be more low-key."

He said urgently, "We mustn't forget our manners. You should follow the etiquette of entering the sect, and absolutely must not conflict with anyone. Wait for me to come and receive you!"

"..."

He showed a slight smile, "We've finally arrived."

"If these two old fellows don't come soon, I'll really be surpassed by them."

"But for now, everything is still uncertain."

Soon, Lian Bo met Cheng Guang Shan and Luo Yu Shu outside the Moonseizing Sect and brought them back to his cave abode.

With Lian Bo's identity, the Moonseizing Sect disciples naturally wouldn't stop them.

The three of them met and set up a soundproofing array.

Luo Yu Shu immediately took out a storage bag, "I've brought everything you asked for. One hand delivers the pills, the other delivers the goods!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Luo Yu Shu, with his muttonchop beard, also chimed in, "Hey, it's rare for you, old man Lian Sheng, to ask for my help. I naturally have to give you face."

"What about this?"

"Not only did I empty out my own resources, but I also went out and bought quite a few for you. In total, thirty sets of materials for the Dao Fusion Pill."

"But how did you get so many fourth-grade Dao Fusion Pills?"

Luo Yu Shu also stared at him intently.

Lian Bo spread his hands, "I can't produce them."

"???"

The two of them frowned.

"Are you playing with us?"

"What are you up to?!"

"If you can't give a proper explanation today..."

Slap.

A jade bottle was placed in front of the two of them.

Lian Bo sat down nonchalantly, looking at the two of them with a slight smile on his lips, "I indeed don't have that many fourth-grade Dao Fusion Pills. Who would take that stuff?"

"What are you pretending for?"

Cheng Guang Shan expressed his dissatisfaction.

That gaze was so despicable!

It was as if he was looking down on two insignificant ants.

But we were clearly on equal footing~!

"Putting on an act?"

"Here, everything is here. Take a look for yourselves."

Lian Bo smiled slightly.

His heart felt a sense of satisfaction.

How wonderful~

When had he ever put on an act in front of these two?

Now, he had succeeded~

And in just a few breaths, they would be begging him~

...

Luo Yu Shu opened the jade bottle with a mix of belief and doubt, and upon seeing its contents, he was stunned.

"You, this, me?"

He looked at it again in disbelief, then stared at Cheng Guang Shan, and then at Lian Bo, finally covering the bottle's mouth, "Where did you get this?!"

"Why are you covering it?"

Cheng Guang Shan was also shocked, "I've already seen it!"

"Fifth-grade, all fifth-grade Dao Fusion Pills."

"Where did you get these from?"

"Do I have an obligation to tell you?" Lian Bo chuckled, "Beg me."

"Beg you???"

"You're dreaming."

"Tell me quickly!"

"You!!!"

"Old man, why don't you speak?!"

The two of them were extremely anxious, their breathing becoming rapid.

If it weren't for the fact that this place wasn't suitable, they would have pinned him down and forced him to speak.

"Speak? What should I speak about?"

Lian Bo felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

For so many years, in front of these two old men, he had never felt so satisfied~!

How wonderful!

"Oh, I understand now.

"Lian Bo's tone shifted, "It's true that I don't have a Fourth Rank Dao Fusion Pill, but who would consume such a thing? However, I do have some Fifth Rank pills, so I plan to use them to trade for the medicinal ingredients you have."

"We'll exchange based on their respective values."

"The market price of a Fifth Rank pill is equivalent to three Fourth Rank pills."

"As old friends, don't say I'm taking advantage of you."

"I'll give you this price for the trade."

"Trade or not?"

One Fifth Rank Dao Fusion Pill for three sets of ingredients.

If this succeeds...

Lian Bo's heart raced.

Cheng Guangshan and Luo Yushu exchanged a glance, both equally thrilled.

It was said to be an equal exchange, but in reality, a Fifth Rank pill was worth significantly more than three Fourth Rank pills. Moreover, such pills were often auctioned, and they would undoubtedly make a profit no matter how you looked at it.

Not trade?

Not trading would be foolish!

"I'll trade!"

Luo Yushu quickly tossed his storage bag containing the medicinal ingredients to Lian Bo.

"I'll trade too!"

Cheng Guangshan followed suit, tossing his storage bag to Lian Bo, then grabbing Luo Yushu, "Don't think you can keep it all to yourself. Take it out, we'll divide it!"

"What are you fighting over?"

The two began to argue.

Although they lacked cultivation, their dispute was intense, like old men swinging their fists.

"Look at you, so petty."

Lian Bo scoffed, a hint of disdain in his voice, "Bring it, I'll divide it for you."

"It is what it is."

The two turned their heads, glaring at each other.

But for a moment, they couldn't find the words to refute.

They were simply shocked.

"Where did this old fellow get so many high-quality pills?"

"The fact that he's willing to trade a Fourth Rank pill for our ingredients represents that he has even better ones!"

"Not only that!"

The two communicated through divine perception, their speed exceptionally fast.

"His willingness to trade a Fourth Rank pill for our ingredients means... he won't lose out!"

"Indeed, otherwise, he wouldn't agree to the trade. When has this old fellow ever been at a disadvantage in a trade with us?"

"So, we're definitely at a loss!"

"Is that hindsight?"

Chatting away, the two grew anxious.

"Why didn't you say this earlier?"

"How could you not know yourself?" Lian Bo didn't fall for this, "If you want it, bring the ingredients to trade!"

"You old geezer!"

The two cursed.

But with mouths to feed, they couldn't lash out, instead asking about the so-called 'heavenly opportunity'.

Lian Bo chuckled, "A heavenly opportunity is... I'll give you a great fortune~!"

"As for me, I've met an incredibly skilled alchemist."

"If I introduce you, and you show some understanding, perhaps this alchemy master would also be willing to refine some pills for you."

"Incredibly skilled?" Cheng Guangshan snorted, "How skilled?"

"Refine a Fifth Rank Dao Fusion Pill? If you can produce these, you should have emptied your family's resources long ago, right?"

"Not that skilled."

Lian Bo waved his hand, "Just skilled in refining Dao Fusion Pills."

"A mere Fifth Rank guarantee... what did you say?!" Luo Yushu's expression changed, and his voice shifted in an instant.

"What rank guarantee?"

"Fifth Rank."

Lian Bo responded with a smile.

They loved seeing this kind of reaction, so amusing!

"What?!"

The two realized, "So, you old geezer, you dare to trade guaranteed pills for our three sets of ingredients? In one go, you profit two to three times?"

Damn!

The two's eyes turned red.

Damn it!

They said we profited, but you profited even more!

We did profit, but if you hadn't told us everything so clearly, we might have felt less regret and despair!

'Shrimp and pork heart?!'

"Nothing more to say."

Luo Yushu's eyes were red, "Introduce me to that alchemy master, immediately, right now!"

Cheng Guangshan spoke harshly, "And me!!!"

"Introducing you to them is simple." Lian Bo spoke calmly, "Calling you here is to give you this opportunity, but whether you can seize it depends on you."

"There are a few conditions."

"Speak!"

"One, swear a Heavenly Vow, not to reveal anything related to that alchemy master unless they take the initiative, and not to act against that master or their sect unless they do so first."

"Two, assist their sect to the best of your abilities."

"Three..."

"We agree."

"And then?"!"

The two breathed heavily.

"Then?"

"Did you bring the array materials?"

"Oh, I promised the Moon Holding Palace to set up a protective array for the Moon Holding Palace~" Lian Bo yawned.

"I brought them!" Cheng Guangshan indicated he had them.

But Luo Yushu was more 'worldly wise', "I'll go set up the array right now!"

"Don't let this old geezer take the lead."

As rivals for the same woman, Cheng Guangshan wouldn't let Luo Yushu take the spotlight.

"Let me handle it!"

"Your array skills are inferior to mine!"

The two...

They arrived at the Moon Holding Palace, and in less than an incense stick's time, they eagerly unfurled the array.
