94: White Tiger Heaven, Immortal Bodhi Spring!

"What?!"

"What did you say?!"

"Xu Yuan was killed by Lin Xiao?!"

The Dean, who had met Meng Yun once before, slammed his hand on the desk in his office, looking at Meng Yun with disbelief.

Xu Yuan was an extremely rare master researcher of the Arcane system. At a young age, in her forties, she had already reached the Arcane Envoy level!

Although Eastern Abyss's Arcane strength was greater, firstly, he wasn't an official person, and secondly, he only reached God Art Master at over two hundred years old. At least in the Arcane system, his aptitude truly might not have been stronger than Xu Yuan's!

"You said you temporarily locked her condition with an item, and she's still barely holding on?" The Dean's eyes widened as he asked urgently.

"Let me see!"

With a thought from Meng Yun, the coffin materialized out of thin air in the office.

Feeling the profound fluctuations from the coffin, the Dean was already seventy percent convinced by Meng Yun's words.

"This... what should we do..."

The Dean paced anxiously around the coffin. In his haste, he even wanted to open the coffin lid to take a look.

Meng Yun quickly stopped him: "No. If the aura leaks, Xu Yuan might die completely within five minutes."

"But keeping it covered like this isn't a solution either!" The Dean said with a bitter face: "Opening it means death, not opening it means she can't live either. It's a complete Schrödinger's Cat!"

Meng Yun: "Who is Schrödinger? Why did he put a cat in a box? Is there such a person on Blue Star?"

However, Meng Yun didn't dwell on such details: "Dean, as long as there's a way to keep her alive for one day, I have the means to restore her to her original state."

The Dean's pacing figure suddenly stopped.

He turned and rushed to Meng Yun, grabbing his hand with an excited expression: "Is that true?!"

Meng Yun looked him directly in the eyes: "It's true."

The means Meng Yun referred to was naturally Life Alchemy. As long as he was given a little time to fully perform it from start to finish, repairing Xu Yuan's body and replenishing her lifespan.

She would live.

But the premise was that he needed time to perform it.

Don't let Xu Yuan die halfway through.

What would be refined in the end would at most retain a few fragments of Xu Yuan's residual memories.

It could only be called a beautiful corpse puppet.

But let's put these aside for now...

The Dean's hand, why was he still holding it indefinitely?

Seeing Meng Yun's disgusted expression, the Dean's expression remained normal as he withdrew his hands:

"Xu Yuan is the daughter of my deceased comrade-in-arms.

Back then, we were both working for the 654 Bureau. An accident cost him his life...

I promised him I would take good care of Xu Yuan..."

Meng Yun was speechless and patted his shoulder lightly: "I understand."

Perhaps it was the hope Meng Yun offered that allowed the Dean to regain his composure and rationality.

He pondered for a moment, then returned to his desk and sat down.

In his memory, there were indeed methods to keep a dying person alive for a day.

It was just that each of them was incredibly precious.

Even in the era of spirit qi recovery, life itself was still the most valuable thing.

In this era, limb regeneration was simple.

Extending the life of a dying person was very difficult.

Resurrection from the dead was almost impossible.

He opened his computer and began searching the 654 Bureau database.

...

Meng Yun stood behind him, looking at the official mall on the computer, and remained silent for a moment.

Indeed.

Such supreme life-saving secret arts, even with their exorbitantly high prices, would always be sought after.

To obtain them, if one's hand speed couldn't compete with others, one could only pre-order or try their luck on the black market.

But, honestly...

Alchemists and Array Masters really make a lot of money!

He wondered if he, as a Life Alchemist, could also make a fortune?

He could refine people or refine medicine, wasn't his employment scope broader than that of an alchemist?

Moreover, he also had a different flame!

His thoughts returned.

The Dean looked at the screen and sighed deeply.

Never mind whether there was stock or not.

Even if there was, he couldn't afford the money in the first place.

And this Yu Jingshen.

Damn it, just setting up a broken array costs 5 billion spirit stones?

Why doesn't he just die!

Meng Yun saw the Dean's troubled expression and already had a plan.

Although he had no real connection with Xu Yuan, he couldn't stand idly by regarding her situation.

Since he couldn't save her with his current financial resources in the real world,

Then he could only rely on simulation.

Through simulation, he had obtained the Coffin of Slumber and the Life Alchemy.

Following this trend, as long as he continued to simulate, he would always have a chance to obtain a wondrous method to preserve Xu Yuan's life.

As long as he kept moving forward,

The path would extend beneath his feet.

If one were to ask where the most supreme secret arts were, it would naturally be the cultivation world.

If one were to ask who understood the cultivation world best, it would naturally be Nangong Jing, the last princess of the Tianjian Dynasty.

She happened to be studying here, so Meng Yun called her without hesitation.

He didn't care what she was doing; he just needed to get her out first.

"Nangong Jing? Come to the Academic Affairs Office."

"Ah? My beating up the half-dragon maid student, was it discovered so quickly?"

Meng Yun and the Dean exchanged glances: "..."

The Dean waved his hand wearily.

You two continue.

This time, he would just pretend he knew nothing.

Soon, Nangong Jing, dressed in an orange palace gown and carrying a long sword, arrived gracefully.

No matter when one saw her, this woman always gave off a stunning impression, like an ancient beauty who had traveled to modern times.

She was undoubtedly a character ripped straight from a comic.

Of course, she was originally a princess from a cultivation dynasty.

"As long as I'm not expelled, any punishment is fine." Nangong Jing said with her neck stiff, completely frank.

Meng Yun looked at her and went straight to the point: "I'm asking you for a piece of information. If it's reliable, it can count as atonement for your misdeeds."

"There's such a good thing? Tell me about it." Nangong Jing listened attentively.

"In your world, are there any methods to bring the dead back to life, or to keep the soul from dissipating?"

Nangong Jing fell into thought.

She had already lost many memories during her ten thousand years of slumber. Asking her to recall something almost unrelated to her was even more difficult.

Meng Yun didn't interrupt, letting her ponder by herself.

After a quarter of an hour.

"I thought of two things." Nangong Jing slowly began: "The first, rumored to be a cultivation method created by Linglong Empress, named Great Dream Reincarnation Art.

It is said that those who cultivate this method can preserve a wisp of their remnant soul from dissipating upon death, allowing them to re-enter reincarnation and be reborn. When the time is right, they may even return to their peak."

It's Linglong Empress again?

Could it really be his little fox?

Anyway, Linglong really loved sleeping and dreaming!

Meng Yun couldn't help but recall the scene where he encountered Luo Mian and Wu Yinyao through the demon suppression stone.

Perhaps, in a world unknown to him, they were still struggling and moving forward.

"This won't work." Meng Yun immediately objected.

Xu Yuan was almost gone; where would she cultivate from!

"There's another, called immortal bodhi spring. It is said that this spring contains the rules of the Great Dao of Life. Immersing oneself in it can even bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones.

It's just that even the Tianjian Dynasty at its peak didn't have the qualifications to contend for such a divine item..."

That's it!

He wasn't afraid it was hard to get.

He was only afraid it didn't exist!

"What is the name of your world?"

"I remember it's called... White Tiger Heaven?"

Nangong Jing answered hesitantly.

(As soon as I think about what to write for the third world, I can't help but laugh)
