25: Lin Tian also came to Xuanwu Kingdom

After leaving the Drunken Immortal Tower, the night was already deep.

Lu Yi took Ling'er and returned to the immortal ship docked in the mountain forest outside the city.

Upon returning to the spacious cabin prepared for the two of them, Lu Yi casually set up a sound-isolating Restriction.

Just as he was preparing to "rest" with Ling'er, she brought forward an important piece of intelligence.

"Master, there is a matter that needs to be reported to you."

"Oh?"

Lu Yi looked at her serious expression and signaled for her to continue.

Ling'er nodded and said with a grave expression:

"The spy we planted beside Lin Tian reported that Lin Tian... he has also arrived at the capital of Xuanwu Kingdom."

She paused, then added the most critical point:

"Moreover, according to the spy's observations, his previously crippled Cultivation seems to have fully recovered to his former Realm, though his Qi is still somewhat unstable and his Foundation is not solid."

Upon hearing this news, no trace of surprise appeared on Lu Yi's face.

He just nodded faintly, thinking to himself that it was as expected.

This was the standard treatment for a "Sons of Destiny".

Suffering heavy injuries, having one's Cultivation completely destroyed, and then triggering a fortuitous encounter.

What Lin Tian encountered was that reclusive old man; not only did his injuries fully recover, but he was also able to "break then stand", advancing his Cultivation further.

He was truly too familiar with this trope.

"Has his purpose for coming here been found out?"

Lu Yi asked casually.

"Because it is necessary to maintain a safe distance, it is not yet clear."

Ling'er shook her head and continued:

"However, he, the old man who saved him, and the old man's granddaughter have all taken lodging in an inn near Tianbao Pavilion. I speculate that their goal should also be the auction that is about to begin tomorrow."

"An auction?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi felt a surge of joy.

This was truly a coincidence; it seemed tomorrow's auction was destined not to be boring.

He expressed satisfaction with Ling'er's intelligence work, walked up to her, gently pinched her cheek, and said with a smile:

"Well done. Since the work was completed so well, it is time for this Saint to properly 'reward' you."

Two blushes instantly flew onto Ling'er's cheeks, and she answered shyly.

She immediately turned around, preparing to extinguish the lights in the room.

However, before her hand could touch the lampshade, she was stopped by Lu Yi.

"Don't extinguish them."

Ling'er turned her head, puzzled.

She saw a playful smile hook onto the corner of Lu Yi's mouth as he walked slowly toward her:

"It's so boring in the dark; I... prefer it with the lights on."

...

Meanwhile, in an inn near Tianbao Pavilion.

Lin Tian was sitting cross-legged on the bed, silently operating his Cultivation Technique.

Feeling the spiritual power within his body that he had lost and regained, which was even more surging than before, he himself felt it was somewhat inconceivable.

Recalling the fortuitous encounters of the past few days, ever since he was expelled from Primordial Holy Land and fell unconscious in that mountain forest, he had been saved by an old man surnamed Qian.

That Old Qian not only had extraordinary Cultivation, but also possessed superb medical skills.

In just a few days, using various methods he had never heard of, he had repaired his crippled Dantian and Meridians almost completely, and his Cultivation had also recovered by more than half.

He slowly exited his Cultivate state, clenched his fists, and felt that familiar and powerful strength.

Monstrous hatred, like a flame, burned once again in his chest.

Lu Yi!

He would never forget the humiliation Lu Yi brought him, nor could he forget the look in the other party's eyes when he destroyed his Cultivation.

And Qing Xuan...

His heart was filled with obsession; he must find his younger sister and ask her face-to-face what exactly was going on with that "severing ties" video recording!

He absolutely did not believe that his younger sister, with whom he had relied on for survival, could truly be so heartless.

Just as his emotions were surging, the door was gently knocked upon.

"Brother Lin Tian, are you resting?"

It was Old Qian's granddaughter, the young girl named Qing'er.

Lin Tian restrained the hatred in his heart and got up to open the door.

He had quite a good impression of this girl who had taken such careful care of him and been so gentle and considerate over the past few days.

"Miss Qing'er, it is so late, have you not rested yet?"

"I... I am here to pass on a message for Grandfather."

Qing'er said somewhat shyly:

"Grandfather asked me to remind you that you have just experienced great ups and downs; although your Meridians have been reshaped, they are not yet completely stable. You must not be overly eager for success or over-Cultivate, otherwise, it is very easy to leave behind hidden dangers, or even suffer Qi Deviation."

"You should wait until tomorrow at the auction to purchase the necessary Spiritual Plants, and only after using a medicinal bath to thoroughly consolidate your Meridians can you continue to Cultivate."

Hearing this, although Lin Tian did not agree in his heart, he verbally agreed readily:

"Many thanks to Miss Qing'er for the reminder, and please also thank Old Qian for his concern on my behalf. I know my limits, you should quickly go back and rest."

However, after Qing'er left with a concerned look.

He closed the door but immediately entered his Cultivate state again.

He did not want to waste a single second of precious time.

He confidently believed that his Savage Desolate Sacred Body was incredibly powerful, and his current Meridian strength could completely withstand it.

Old Qian's warning was somewhat overly cautious.

...

Both Lin Tian and Lu Yi spent this short yet long night "Cultivating".

...

The next morning, the sky gradually brightened.

Lu Yi sat up from the bed, looking at Ling'er beside him who was so tired she had fallen into a deep sleep, too lazy to even move a finger.

He helplessly shook his head and couldn't help but complain in his heart:

"This girl, from head to toe, only her mouth is the toughest; when she really can't hold on anymore, she won't even say a word of begging for mercy."

He decided to let Ling'er rest well; he would just go to today's auction alone.

After dressing neatly, Lu Yi left the immortal ship alone and arrived in front of the Drunken Immortal Tower where he had an appointment with Wu Mingyue.

At this time, Wu Mingyue had already been waiting here for a long time, pacing back and forth somewhat anxiously.

Today, she had obviously dressed up carefully, having changed into a pretty goose-yellow dress.

She had even tied her beautiful hair into two cute pigtails that swayed with her movements.

She was like a completely different person from the spoiled and willful Little Princess image of yesterday.

"Holy Son Lu, you're here!"

Seeing Lu Yi's figure, Wu Mingyue greeted him with surprise and expectantly twirled in front of him, asking:

"How... how is my outfit today?"

Lu Yi looked at her maidenly appearance and couldn't help but tease:

"Hmm, it looks like you really are a princess now."

Wu Mingyue naturally understood that he was teasing her about her willfulness yesterday, but she was in such a good mood that she didn't mind at all.

Instead, she unceremoniously stepped forward, affectionately hugged Lu Yi's arm, and pulled him toward the other end of the street.

As she walked, she curiously looked back and asked:

"Eh? Why didn't that 'big' sister from yesterday come with you today?"

Lu Yi rubbed his nose, gave a meaningful cough, and said:

"Her? She was exhausted yesterday, so I'm letting her rest a little longer."

Wu Mingyue obviously did not understand the deep implication in his words, just assuming that Ling'er was tired from the journey and physically exhausted.

She couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart.

That highly threatening "big" enemy was not there, so today she could have the Saint all to herself!

In a great mood, Wu Mingyue immediately pulled Lu Yi and walked quickly toward Tianbao Pavilion.
