Tiandaoyuan, New Supreme Bone
“The cold poison in my body was supposed to erupt three days ago, but thanks to that Heavenly Dao Envoy, who gave me a precious pill that suppressed a lot of it, I was able to hold on until you all returned.”
“I was afraid the cold poison still couldn't be suppressed and that Little Jiu would be sad to see it, so I let Little Jiu go with her first.”
After Shen Yueru finished speaking in an annoyed tone, Lin Xingyun was momentarily stunned.
The Heavenly Dao Academy is one of the three immortal Dao orthodoxies in the Immortal Realm, with an incredibly profound foundation, no weaker than the Eternal Family.
However, unlike the Yaochi Holy Land, it never openly recruits disciples; instead, Heavenly Dao Envoys, all of whom are in the Saint Realm or above, travel around to attract the most exceptional Prodigies and bring them into the sect.
Legend has it that when those Heavenly Dao Envoys meet a Prodigy, their first words are, “Little friend, you are fated with my Heavenly Dao Academy!”
Then they begin to persuade the other party to join their sect…
However, apart from their penchant for persuading people to join their sect, there are no other obvious shortcomings; on the contrary, they are extremely skilled at cultivating Prodigies, and countless powerful individuals have emerged from them, with several Great Emperor powerhouses throughout history even originating from the Heavenly Dao Academy!
“It's a good thing that Little Jiu can join the Heavenly Dao Academy; at least she won't go astray and fall into the Demonic Path or anything…”
“Aunt Shen, is that all you wanted to tell me?”
Lin Xingyun felt a little relieved, then asked.
“Hmph! Of course not just that!”
“Young Master Lin, your feelings for Diyao…”
“Are they genuine or fake? You must make it clear now!”
Shen Yueru revealed her true intentions, staring at Lin Xingyun and pressing him for an answer.
Qin Diyao had been traveling outside, searching for a way to cure herself, and was still unaware of the situation between Lin Xingyun and Shen Jiuyuan.
She was also afraid that Qin Diyao would be sad after finding out, so she had to pull Lin Xingyun aside for a private conversation.
Whenever she thought of this, she got angry. She had cultivated the Dao all her life, pure and unblemished, and her only two adopted daughters were her concern.
Yet, both of them were utterly captivated by this young man in front of her.
The younger one had fallen, and the elder one hadn't escaped either!
“Aunt Shen, even if I were to make a grand promise now, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe it anymore, would you?”
“But my feelings for Diyao aren't just empty words.”
“Let's continue with your treatment first; you will understand my intentions in the future.”
Lin Xingyun sighed lightly, then took out the Green Lotus Immortal Fire and began to activate it again.
“Hmph! You'd better remember what you said today!”
“If you dare to bully Diyao too, I'll risk my old life to destroy you!”
After Shen Yueru's fierce threat, she began to cooperate with Lin Xingyun for the treatment.
Her anger had not subsided, and she continued to stare intently at him.
However, she had been busy with the treatment before and hadn't had time to look closely.
Now, staring at him continuously, she felt that his appearance was indeed exquisitely handsome, truly unparalleled in the world!
And that aura of being favored by Heaven and Earth was also deeply moving, as if there was some strange attraction that made her unable to stop looking…
“This… this little fellow… truly…”
“No wonder Diyao and Little Jiu… How could they resist this…?”
“No… I can't look anymore! He's Diyao and Little Jiu's man…”
Shen Yueru sighed secretly, quickly turned her face away, closed her eyes, and forced herself to settle into meditation…
In a blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
“Hmm…”
Shen Yueru grunted, and eight pink fox tails swayed from her back, revealing her true form. Her cultivation had actually returned to its Peak, with no more cold poison obstructing it!
Lin Xingyun also withdrew the immortal fire and let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Shen Yueru thought for a moment, then bowed to him in thanks.
“Thank you, Young Master Lin…”
“If you hadn't brought the immortal fire, I'm afraid I would have perished sooner or later…”
“No need to be polite. You have the grace of raising Diyao and Little Jiu, so I naturally must repay it…”
“Ah—!”
Just as Lin Xingyun was about to exchange pleasantries, he suddenly heard a startled cry from outside the door.
When he and Shen Yueru went out together to check, they saw Qin Diyao, who had been guarding the door, continuously erupting with six-colored strange light from her chest!
Streaks of light, like a thousand-knotted silk net, rapidly enveloped Qin Diyao's body.
“Diyao!”
Shen Yueru instantly became anxious, calling out while raising her hand to unleash powerful Laws to break open the silk net.
“Aunt Shen, wait, don't interrupt her!”
Lin Xingyun, however, thought of something and immediately spoke to stop her.
At the same time, he fully activated his pair of Double Pupils, looking through the layers of light cocoon and Qin Diyao's skin, deep into her torso.
He saw a tiny, treasure-light-shrouded bone bud had actually begun to sprout in her chest cavity!
Although it was only a very tiny section, it seemed to contain profound and mighty power, and it was foreseeable that it would definitely be another incomparably powerful Supreme Bone in the future!
All of these six-colored lights were erupting from that bone bud.
Clearly, that was the brand new Supreme Bone that Qin Diyao was beginning to grow!
At this moment, within the light cocoon, Qin Diyao seemed to be undergoing some extremely profound transformation.
She transformed into a kitten for a moment, then into an infant, and after a while, she became a tall, mature woman, and then shortly after, she had white hair and a face full of the vicissitudes of life.
Thus, she continuously transformed within the light cocoon, seemingly experiencing life, death, old age, and youth.
“Just a bone bud sprouting, and it's already so extraordinary?”
“System, check her attribute panel.”
