Chapter 760

Hidden Fog Sect’s station.

In his room, Qin Yu suddenly furrowed his eyebrows. Before the middle-aged man fled, he had done something inconspicuous to him.

This was a small skill he obtained after the breakthrough of his soul. He was able to lock onto a person’s position.

If he could find the Dark Parliament’s position within Dragon City, there would be much more room when dealing with them.

But now, the middle-aged man’s aura was rapidly moving further and further away. It was clear he had left Dragon City.

For the Dark Parliament to have remained hidden for so many years, it made sense that they had been sufficiently cautious in their actions!

He shook his head, no longer thinking about these things. This was nothing but a casual plan to begin with. Success would be worth celebrating, but failure didn’t matter.

Now, onto proper business!

Qin Yu closed his eyes and his thoughts sank into his body, activating the holy light which was covered up by his blood energy.

Hum –

He started to emit light. Traces of light diffused from every single pore of his body.

It was hallowed and dignified.

All thoughts came to a standstill. Qin Yu stood up and bowed. “My lord, there is an issue that this junior requires your assistance with.”

There was a brief silence without any change. Qin Yu’s expression remained calm as he maintained a bowing stance.

Suddenly, space collapsed inward and cracks appeared.

The Ancient’s tranquil voice spread out, “What is it?”

As he thought, after fusing with the Dao Monarch’s strength, he could communicate with the other party.

Qin Yu’s expression didn’t change. He continued to say, “My lord, the initial reason for why I entered the mystic realm was to obtain the resurrection lily. It is of the utmost importance to me. If possible, I hope that you can grant me the resurrection lily.”

His injuries had healed and his cultivation had drastically improved. But, the bet with the Dark Parliament was still there. It was something that involved Yun Die’s life and death, so Qin Yu certainly wouldn’t stand by and do nothing about it.

The Ancient said, “Very well.”

Several breaths of time later, a figure stepped out from the spatial crack, carrying a blue flower petal in her hands.

“A flower petal is enough for your needs. The Ancient attendant will stay by your side for the time being. She has regained a portion of her strength and will be able to guarantee your safety.”

Qin Yu cupped his hands together, “Thank you, my lord.”

The spatial cracks vanished.

Qin Yu looked up at the Ancient attendant in front of him. She was nearly as tall as he was and her body was bathed in darkness. One could clearly see the tyrannical and arrogant figure within.

“I greet master!” The Ancient attendant kneeled and bowed. Her hoarse voice was a bit metallic, carrying with it a sense of cold aloofness.

But this type of beautiful woman was now kneeling in front of Qin Yu. Unknowingly, it gave off a great feeling of psychological satisfaction.

Qin Yu nodded. “Rise.” He didn’t have much to say about this. Since this was the arrangement of the Ancient, there was naturally no way for him to refuse it.

“Give me the resurrection lily petal.”

“Yes.” The Ancient attendant offered it with both hands.

Qin Yu received it. He asked, “You will be following me?”

The Ancient attendant nodded, “This is the order given to me by the old master.”

Qin Yu said, “But right now, I am your master.”

The Ancient attendant was silent for a moment. “I comply with master’s words.”

Qin Yu said, “Good. Then you will stay here. If I need you I will call you.”

He turned and left!

After escaping her line of sight, a cloudy looked appeared on Qin Yu’s face. It seemed that some of his thoughts had been detected by the Ancient. For instance, that he needed the resurrection lily to treat the dark star ice serpent. In Qin Yu’s eyes, this wasn’t good at all.

Having the Ancient attendant stay here was Qin Yu’s counterattack and probe. He wanted to let the Ancient know that he wasn’t a pawn to be played around with.

Of course, this was what a normal cultivator would do in the current situation. It wasn’t considered too excessive.

For the time being, Qin Yu didn’t want to create distance between him and the Ancient. Did he really plan on wholeheartedly helping him? After all, Qin Yu was the only remaining Ancient between the heavens and earth.

But even if that were true, Qin Yu still lacked some confidence. He always had a great deal of faith in his own intuition.

Shaking his head, Qin Yu suppressed these thoughts. He walked outside.

Pondering on these things was useless. He would simply take things one step at a time. Right now, treating the dark star ice serpent was his most important task.

Yun Die was perturbed. She stood guard outside the door the entire time. When Qin Yu pushed it open and walked out, she welcomed him, “Teacher…”

She looked over him.

Qin Yu extended a hand and revealed the flower petal in his palm. “I’ve obtained it.”

Yun Die bit her lips. “Teacher, it's one petal.”

“It’s enough.” With the Ancient’s eyesight, if he said that it was enough, there definitely wouldn’t be a problem.

Qin Yu took a step forward. “Let’s go.”

Yun Die followed close behind.

Moments later, all materials needed to treat the dark star ice serpent had been gathered.

Qin Yu gestured with his hand. Yun Die walked forward and carefully inspected the materials. She turned and nodded, “Teacher, there isn’t a problem.”

Hu Fu let out a long breath of relief. “Everything is in mister’s hands!”

Qin Yu nodded and left. Yun Die took the materials and left with him.

Seeing the master and disciple leave, Hu Fu sighed inwardly. Originally, the relationship between mister and the Hidden Fog Sect had eased up, but after what happened to Yun Die, it was clear some points had been deducted from their side.

Aiya…it would be good if they could obtain Mister Ning Qin’s approval…even if they were defeated today, the Hidden Fog Sect would still receive his protection.

Hu Fu quietly decided that the apology he prepared for Yun Die must be even richer. He had to ensure that she felt the sincerity of the Hidden Fog Sect.

Flattering Yun Die could be considered a side-path to salvation!

Mm, then let’s do that.

…

Laboratory.

All of the array formations were activated and the outside was protected with layers upon layers of Hidden Fog Sect experts. Not even a fly would be able to enter.

Whether their trip to Dragon City was a success or failure all depended on if the dark star ice serpent could be saved!

“Teacher, I have finished the preparations.” Yun Die took a deep breath as she stood in front of the testing platform.

Qin Yu nodded. “Begin.”

Yun Die was incomparably nervous, but also excited. She never imagined she would ever have the chance to participate in such a high level treatment.

Besides the resurrection lily, the other materials that the Hidden Fog Sect had prepared could all be called precious. Each one could even be called priceless.

“I can do this! I can do this!”

Yun Die took a deep breath and drummed up her confidence. She summoned the Chaotic Sky Chronicle and started to configure the medicines according to the guidelines it gave.

Past life fruits, twincloud wood, deepsea spirit grass…

Spiritual items were placed into the mixing vessels one after another. They reacted with each other, causing bubbles and color changes to constantly form within the beakers.

Qin Yu paid close attention to Yun Die. After her initial panic, as she continued to work, her actions became increasingly calm and steady. Her movements were smooth and flowing, and even this rigorous medicine forming process gave off a pleasant feeling.

His heart relaxed. It seemed that there wouldn’t be any problems at this point. Qin Yu revealed a look of appreciation. Even though he was a ‘fake’ Grand Expert, it seemed that his disciple had a great deal of talent in being a beast trainer.

The last material was the resurrection lily. By drawing upon the support of its extreme yin strength, all of the medicinal efficacy of the materials would be instantly absorbed and condensed, creating the medication.

Qin Yu had a dignified expression. He could feel Yun Die’s cautiousness. This was the crucial key step. A single mistake would mean a total failure.

Two fair fingers punched the resurrection lily leaf. Then, they let go, letting it gently fall…

In an instant, the flower petal dissolved. An invisible net seemed to form around the medicinal solution and started to contract.

Contract…

Contract…

Contract…

Qin Yu rubbed his forehead. “Is it finished?”

Yun Die let out a deep breath, “It’s finished!”

In her imagination, this had been an incomparably difficult step. But in reality, it went much smoother than expected.

It was just that the speed at which the solution contracted was a bit too slow.

So, Qin Yu asked an essential question. “Yun Die, how long do you think it will take before the solution will be completed?”

Yun Die sighed with relief. Right now, her feelings were brimming with excitement…

But when she thought about this question, her face suddenly paled.

Qin Yu immediately felt a foreboding premonition. As he expected, in the next instant Yun Die nearly cried out loud, “One month.”

Qin Yu’s face stiffened. Before he could take a breath, his field of vision flashed black.

What kind of joke was this? In a month, even if the dark star ice serpent was healed already, what use would there be?

“Teacher, what do we do?” Yun Die felt her hands and feet turn icy cold.

Qin Yu took a deep breath. “You leave first. I will give it a try.”

Yun Die’s eyes lit up. She thought back to the 400 mature shadow trees she had seen before. Teacher was someone who always seemed to make the impossible possible.

“Yes.”

She bowed and drew back.

Qin Yu stood in front of the platform, his eyes dark and uncertain. With a loud shout, all the power of his blood energy erupted.

The holy light within his body connected him to the Ancient’s consciousness. Qin Yu wasn’t sure if what he did now would be able to completely shield him.

But in this current situation, he had no other choice but to try. Yun Die was no longer just a stranger to him. He couldn’t stand to the side and do nothing as she fell into a desperate situation.

He closed his eyes and his mind sent out a summons to the distant nothingness. Right now, only the power of the little blue lamp could help him.

But he had no idea whether it would help…the little blue lamp’s highest priority had always been to hide itself first and foremost.

Perhaps Qin Yu had the qualifications to make it take certain risks, but Yun Die was absolutely not included on that list. If the little blue lamp felt any threat at all, it definitely wouldn’t descend with its strength.

Time slowly passed and Qin Yu’s complexion grew increasingly gloomy. No deep blue light appeared between his five open fingers.

Was it really no good?

Qin Yu didn’t know how to convince the little blue lamp. But, if he gave up like this and allowed Yun Die to be sent beyond redemption, it would be difficult for him to find peace of heart.

His thoughts raced. Just as he decided to try his best, faint strands of deep blue light flowed out from his palm.
