59: Recruitment

Under the meticulous alchemy of Mo Yuhan and the powerful self-recovery of a Dou Emperor, the terrifying claw marks on Yun Yun's chest healed and scabbed over at a visible rate, leaving behind only a few faint pink traces.

More critically, the purple spirit crystal seal within her body, like shackles, finally dissipated completely like shattered glass one morning a few days later, under the continuous erosion of the medicinal power and the constantImpact of her own Dou Qi.

A majestic and vast wave of Dou Qi instantly erupted from Yun Yun's body. A deep cyan Dou Qi gauze robe automatically appeared, enveloping her graceful figure. The powerful pressure slightly distorted the air within the cave, and dust on the cave walls rustled down.

The terrifying aura belonging to a Dou Emperor instantly returned.

Mo Yuhan was squatting by the stove, cooking a small pot of meat porridge, and was so startled by this sudden powerful aura that he almost overturned the pot.

He turned his head and met Yun Yun's beautiful eyes, which had regained their brilliance and carried a look of disdainful majesty.

At this moment, she was no longer the severely injured and weak 'Cloud Zhi', but the true Yunlan Sect Master, Yun Yun.

However, this pressure was fleeting.

Yun Yun quickly reined in her aura and, facing the somewhat dazed Mo Yuhan, revealed a smile even gentler than any before: "The seal... has been lifted, Yu Han, Younger Brother, thank you for your care these past few days and... for saving my life."

Mo Yuhan recovered, and a genuinely happy smile appeared on his small face: "That's great, congratulations, Cloud Zhi, Elder Sister, you've finally recovered."

Yun Yun looked at his pure smile, and the desire to recruit him in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

She tidied her thoughts, her voice returning to its usual coolness, yet carrying an unprecedented solemnity: "Yu Han, Younger Brother, with your talent, staying in Wutan City is a waste. Join the Yunlan Sect. The Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect and I are very close; I can have her personally take you as her disciple, give you the best resources, and all of the Yunlan Sect's Dou Skills, cultivation methods, medicinal herbs, and pill formulas will be open to you."

"With your aptitude, coupled with the Yunlan Sect's heritage, within ten years, your achievements will surely surpass everyone in the Gama Empire."

This was the olive branch she extended, and it carried immense weight.

The personal disciple of the Yunlan Sect's Sect Master—this status alone was enough to make countless geniuses fight to get in.

Mo Yuhan's smile slowly faded. He put down the spoon in his hand, and a serious expression, unbefitting his age, appeared on his small face as he pondered.

The cave fell silent for a moment, with only the soft gurgling of the meat porridge in the small pot.

A moment later, he raised his head, his clear gaze directly meeting Yun Yun's: "Cloud Zhi, Elder Sister, thank you for thinking so highly of me. The Yunlan Sect is indeed the strongest Sect in the Gama Empire, but I cannot agree to join you for now."

Yun Yun frowned slightly, somewhat surprised by his refusal: "Why? Do you have any concerns? Although Canaan Academy is strong, its resource allocation certainly cannot compare to the Yunlan Sect's."

Mo Yuhan shook his head, a hint of hope in his eyes: "It's not a concern, it's just... I have a very important aunt whose cultivation has been sealed and dropped due to some reasons, and she needs a certain pill to recover."

He paused, his voice slightly lower, "As far as I know, that pill is called the Revival Purple Pill, and it's a fifth-grade pill. Cloud Zhi, Elder Sister, do you... or rather, does the Yunlan Sect, have this pill?"

"Or do you have a way to get it? If you can help me find the Revival Purple Pill, I can make a deal with you, even if it means joining the Yunlan Sect."

Revival Purple Pill?

Yun Yun's heart stirred.

She pondered for a moment; she had never heard of such a pill in the Yunlan Sect's treasury or from Gu He.

Unfortunately, she was not a professional Alchemist and knew very little about such pills.

The Yunlan Sect currently... indeed did not have it.

Although Gu He was a sixth-grade Alchemist, he couldn't refine it without a pill formula.

She looked at the sincere plea and hope in Mo Yuhan's eyes and understood. So, it was to save someone very important to him...

This kind of loyalty was rare.

Yun Yun mused for a moment, not directly refusing, but giving a vague yet hopeful answer: "The Yunlan Sect currently does not have the Revival Purple Pill."

She looked into Mo Yuhan's eyes, "After I return, I can immediately have people look out for relevant information. Once there's a lead, or if it can be refined, I will definitely inform you immediately. How does that sound?"

She didn't mention Gu He, nor did she make a definitive promise, but this was already the most solemn commitment she could give at the moment.

Mo Yuhan's eyes burst with immense joy. He nodded vigorously: "Good! Thank you, Cloud Zhi, Elder Sister, I believe you!"

He knew that Yun Yun's "have people look out" most likely referred to Gu He.

As long as Yun Yun was willing to help, the hope would be much greater.

As for joining the Yunlan Sect, that was a matter for later; getting the promise now was key.

Looking at Mo Yuhan's happy expression, the corners of Yun Yun's lips unconsciously curved into a gentle arc.

She changed the subject, her gaze turning towards the cave entrance: "Since my cultivation has recovered, then... it's time to retrieve my goal for this trip."

Her eyes became sharp again.

"purple spirit crystal?" Yun Yun had revealed her goal for this trip to him while she was recuperating.

"That's right." Yun Yun nodded, "The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King is powerful. In a direct confrontation, even at my peak, I might not be able to guarantee victory. Now that it has just given birth, its nest's defenses are relatively empty. I need someone to help me sneak into its nest and steal the purple spirit crystal."

Mo Yuhan immediately puffed out his small chest: "I'll go. I'm more familiar with this place."

Yun Yun looked at him, a hint of approval and worry flashing in her eyes: "Its nest will surely have powerful guardians; it's very dangerous. However..."

She changed the subject, her jade hand slowly extended, pointing into the air at Mo Yuhan, "I can temporarily imbue you with some power."

With a flick of her finger.

A surging, extremely pure, deep cyan Dou Qi energy, like a docile torrent, shot out from Yun Yun's fingertips, instantly pouring into Mo Yuhan's body.

This external, vast energy belonging to a Dou Emperor did not riot upon entering an unfamiliar body.

Under the perfect control of Yun Yun's single thought, they flowed docilely through Mo Yuhan's meridians like obedient soldiers, perfectly blending with his own Dou Qi without any conflict.

"Buzz--!"

Mo Yuhan felt his body tremble violently, and an unprecedented sense of powerful strength instantly filled his limbs and bones.

His meridians widened, his bones emitted faint cracking sounds, and a faint layer of pale green aura even subtly appeared on his body surface.

His aura climbed steadily, instantly breaking through the Dou Zhe boundary and reaching the Dou Master level.

Moreover, due to the pure wind attribute of Yun Yun's Dou Qi, he felt as light as a feather, and his perception and affinity for the surrounding wind elements reached an astonishing level, which would surely result in a terrifying increase in his speed.

"This is temporary power, and it can only last for about two hours. It should be enough for you to sneak in and retreat."

Yun Yun withdrew her hand, looking at the faint green glow on Mo Yuhan's body, and nodded with satisfaction.

She then took out a rhomboid transparent crystal and handed it to Mo Yuhan: "Take this. When you get close to the purple spirit crystal, it will heat up and guide you to its location."

Mo Yuhan gripped the crystal tightly, feeling the surging power within him, his confidence greatly increased: "Don't worry, Cloud Zhi, Elder Sister, I guarantee to complete the mission."
