106: Chapter 106 Senior Sister Blocks the Way

Master Bai Yuxue turned back to the bamboo house, sat cross-legged on the jade bed, and circulated her Cultivation Technique to inspect her internal state.

Deep within her Dantian, that Yin Poison Injury that had persisted for three years.

At this moment, it had faded by more than half, leaving only a faint shadow.

At this rate, two or three more sessions of Dual Cultivation would be enough to completely eradicate it.

Master Bai Yuxue opened her eyes, a complex light flashing in the depths of her gaze.

Originally, she had only intended to use Ye Yun's Pure Yang Body to suppress her injuries and preserve her life and cultivation.

But now, that calculating mindset had long since vanished, leaving only a heart full of concern and tenderness.

[Little Yun'er, do you know? To me, you are no longer just a life-saving medicine.]

...

Ye Yun walked down the Lonely Peak along the bluestone path, passing through the bamboo forest at the junction of the inner and Outer Sects, preparing to head toward the Outer Sect.

Suddenly, a plain white figure appeared ahead, standing quietly in the middle of the road, as if waiting specifically for him.

Han Qingxue.

She wore a plain white dress, her posture as upright as a winter plum, and her cold features were coated in a soft halo by the morning light.

She stood there, her gaze falling on Ye Yun, a complex emotion flashing in the depths of her eyes.

There was relief, worry, and something even she couldn't quite explain.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Senior Sister Qingxue, why are you here?"

Han Qingxue looked at him and remained silent for a moment before speaking softly, her voice still cold.

Yet, it was a bit softer than usual.

"I heard about what happened at Black Wind Ridge, so I came to see you."

Ye Yun felt a surge of warmth in his heart and looked up to observe her carefully.

Previously, his Realm was low, and he couldn't see through Han Qingxue's cultivation, feeling only that she was unfathomable.

Now that he was at the Great Martial Master Seventh Level, he could finally see her true Realm.

Great Martial Master Seventh Level Peak, half a minor Realm higher than him.

[Senior Sister Qingxue's cultivation is indeed profound; Seventh Level Peak, only one step away from the Eighth Level.]

Seeing him staring at her, Han Qingxue's cheeks turned slightly red. She turned her face away, her voice sounding somewhat unnatural.

"What are you looking at?"

Ye Yun snapped out of it and scratched his head with a smile.

"It's nothing. I just couldn't see through Senior Sister's cultivation before, but now I can. I'm just feeling a bit emotional."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Han Qingxue's cold eyes.

Then she observed him closely, her brow furrowing slightly.

"Your cultivation has broken through to the Great Martial Master Seventh Level?"

Ye Yun nodded, not hiding it.

"I just broke through last night."

Han Qingxue fell silent.

She remembered clearly that when Ye Yun first entered the sect, he was only at the Great Martial Artist First Level.

In just half a month, he had broken through six levels in a row, reaching the Great Martial Master Seventh Level.

This kind of cultivation speed was simply unheard of.

In the entire Luoxue Sect, or even the entire Tianyang Kingdom, one couldn't find a second person like him.

She looked at the smiling youth before her, a surge of complex emotions rising in her heart.

There was shock, relief, and most importantly, an indescribable flutter.

Soon, Han Qingxue took out an exquisite jade bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Ye Yun.

The jade bottle was pure white, faintly glowing with a warm luster; one could tell at a glance it was no ordinary item.

"This is a Medicinal Pill for Foundation Strengthening and Origin Cultivation; it can stabilize your cultivation."

Han Qingxue spoke, her tone still cold, but hiding a hint of concern.

"You broke through too quickly, and your Foundation can easily become unstable. This Medicinal Pill can help you solidify your Foundation to avoid future hidden troubles."

Ye Yun took the jade bottle, a wave of warmth rising in his heart.

He looked at Han Qingxue and thanked her solemnly.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Qingxue."

Han Qingxue turned her face away, not looking at him, her voice indifferent.

"We are Senior Sister and Junior Brother; there is no need for such formalities."

Looking at her cold profile, a thought suddenly occurred to Ye Yun.

He put away the jade bottle and spoke with a smile.

"Senior Sister waited here specifically for me just to give me a pill?"

Han Qingxue's body stiffened slightly, and a blush quietly spread across her cheeks, though she maintained her cold tone.

"It was just on the way. Revered Master told me to look after you more, and I'm just doing as told."

Seeing her awkward manner, Ye Yun found it amusing.

He didn't press further, but simply cupped his hands and smiled.

"Regardless, thank you, Senior Sister. I'll head back first and visit to thank you properly another day."

Han Qingxue nodded without saying much.

Ye Yun turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing at the end of the bamboo forest.

Han Qingxue stood in place, watching the direction he left, complex emotions churning in her cold eyes.

She raised her hand to her chest, feeling her heartbeat, which was much faster than usual, and sighed softly.

[What's wrong with me...]

On the other side.

Ye Yun returned to the Outer Sect dormitory, and the moment he pushed open the door, his brow furrowed slightly.

The room was empty, with only his own bed.

Usually at this time, Zhao Hu, Zhou Wen, and the others would have returned from cultivation, but now there wasn't a single person.

Even stranger, Sun Hao's bed was empty, and his bedding and clothes were nowhere to be seen.

[That kid Sun Hao is quite sensible; he knows I might not be able to stop myself from making a move on him.]

A trace of coldness flashed in Ye Yun's heart, but he didn't take it to heart.

Someone like Sun Hao wasn't worth much of his concern.

He walked to his bed, sat cross-legged, took out the Medicinal Pill Han Qingxue had given him, and swallowed one.

The Medicinal Pill melted instantly in his mouth, the warm medicinal power flowing down his throat and into his body.

It quickly merged into his limbs and bones, nourishing his Meridians and Dantian.

His Foundation, which had been somewhat unstable due to the rapid Breakthrough, gradually became solid under the nourishment of this medicinal power.

Ye Yun closed his eyes and circulated the Tai Xuan Hehuan Scripture, guiding the medicinal power through his Meridians.

The night of madness had caused his cultivation to surge, but it also left a trace of instability.

Now, using the medicinal power, he could solidify his Foundation and prepare for the next Breakthrough.

After an unknown amount of time, a series of messy footsteps and suppressed conversation came from outside the door.

Ye Yun opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the door.

The door was pushed open, and Zhao Hu, Zhou Wen, pleural, and Zhang Yuan filed in one after another.

They were stunned when they saw Ye Yun sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Then, expressions of joy appeared on their faces.

"Brother Ye Yun! You're back!"

Zhao Hu was the first to speak, his voice as loud as ever.

But his steps were a bit unsteady, and his walking posture was unnatural.

Ye Yun's gaze swept over them, and his brow gradually furrowed.

All four of them were injured. Although it wasn't too serious, they had clearly been beaten.

Zhao Hu had a bruise on the corner of his mouth, Zhou Wen's arm was wrapped in cloth, and pleural was limping.

Zhang Yuan's face still had lingering redness and swelling.

"What happened?"

Ye Yun stood up, his voice deepening.

Zhao Hu quickly waved his hand, a smile forced onto his face.

"It's nothing, just a spar with someone, and I accidentally got a little hurt. It's no big deal."

Zhou Wen also quickly chimed in.

"Right, right, just a spar, perfectly normal. Brother Ye Yun, don't overthink it."

pleural and Zhang Yuan also nodded repeatedly, but their eyes were evasive, not daring to meet Ye Yun's gaze.

Looking at them, a nameless fire rose in Ye Yun's heart.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, looked directly at Zhao Hu, and spoke with an unquestionable seriousness.
