Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

When Ye Hei strode in, he met Han Yu’s gaze head-on.

He was looking at Han Yu, and Han Yu was looking at him.

”Still a Great Perfection Cultivator.”

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Artifact Spirit spoke up.

At the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, achieving Divine Gaze Great Perfection was already a rare feat in the Cultivator Realm.

Claiming to be Ou Mingdong’s senior brother, his identity was evident.

Third on the Celestial Pride List, Ye Hei!

Although the list was destroyed, being ranked third by the Inspectorate showed their high regard for him.

”Pharmacist Han’s pills are renowned in the Cultivator Realm. If you can heal my junior brother, I, Ye Hei, will never forget this favor.”

Ye Hei stepped forward, cupping his hands and speaking in a gruff voice.

”You are Ye Hei?”

Huangfu Liang was surprised. Among peers, the most prominent was not necessarily the master brother of Piaomiao City or the Saintess of Nanli Sword Studio, but rather the master brother of the Lower Three Sects’ Unparalleled Tower.

In terms of aptitude alone, he had already reached the realm of Great Perfection among peers.

His position was even more exemplary; among the master brothers of the Nine Sects, none could compare to his influence in their respective sects.

It was said no one in Ye Hei’s sect disagreed with him, which was the most impressive aspect.

He had only heard rumors, never expecting Ye Hei to come personally for Ou Mingdong. Comparing himself to his fallen master brother was indeed disheartening.

The difference between master brothers was immense!

Han Yu also had a high impression of him. Such a candid and righteous person was hard not to like.

However, he didn’t dare make any promises. Whatever pills Ping provided were unpredictable. Healing Ou Mingdong was possible, but it depended on luck.

If lucky, a healing pill might come out in a few days. If not, it could take a year or more, even much longer.

”I’ll do my best, but it will take time.”

Han Yu apologized, not wanting to commit too firmly.

Ye Hei understood too. A pill that could completely heal Ou Mingdong would be called a Divine Medicine; how could it be produced so quickly? But as long as there’s hope for healing, even if it takes time, it’s better than having his junior brother crippled for life.

”I understand. I thank you on behalf of my junior brother.”

Ye Hei bowed humbly, showing no airs of a sect’s master brother.

Han Yu quickly waved his hand in response. Given his close relationship with Ou Mingdong, he wouldn’t ignore him even without Ye Hei’s intervention.

”You’re too kind. We’re also friends with Ou Mingdong; there’s no need for such formality.”

Ou Mingdong weakly looked at the group, saying nothing as his thoughts remained unknown.

Seeing this, Ye Hei moved to the bedside and gently checked his pulse. The shattered meridians were completely blocked, and he immediately turned grim.

What a vicious method, destroying the Divine Spring and then the body.

”I won’t let that bastard off.”

Ye Hei gritted his teeth and spoke angrily.

Revenge was one thing, but Ou Mingdong’s mental state was equally concerning.

Enduring such suffering, he feared his junior might have given up.

Ye Hei wished to console him, but words felt inadequate in the face of such loss.

He looked to Han Yu for help, who also shook his head. He couldn’t even console Huangfu Liang before, let alone now with such a significant issue as Ou Mingdong’s.

Huangfu Liang wanted to hold his hand, but Han Yu stopped him.

This fool would only make things worse by sighing while holding his hand.

”Is Ou Mingdong here?”

A gentle, melodious voice sounded from outside the door. As they turned, they saw Su Wanjun standing at the doorway with a gloomy expression.

Han Yu was initially surprised, then quickly realized.

”He’s here.”

The group promptly stepped aside, revealing the still figure lying on the bed.

When Su Wanjun entered, Han Yu immediately gestured before leading everyone out, leaving a quiet space for the two.

Ye Hei’s expression was complex; he sighed before following them out.

His junior brother was in such a state, so what did sect rivalries matter now?

Ou Mingdong’s initial joy at her arrival quickly faded, avoiding eye contact with her.

As the fragrance wafted past, Su Wanjun sat by the bed, her eyes fixed on the bandages covering Ou Mingdong, her expression complicated.

The lengthy silence lasted a full quarter-hour before Ou Mingdong couldn’t help but speak, ”You... you didn’t have to come.”

In his current miserable state, the last person he wanted to see was Su Wanjun.

Perhaps he could never live normally again, so how could he pursue her?

Better her memories of him remain in his former glory than in his present, tormented state.

Su Wanjun listened quietly, brushing a lock of hair back and suddenly spoke.

”I thought I didn’t want to come, but here I am.”

-----------------

”That’s right, it’s me again.”

Ling Wuce crossed his arms and smiled slightly.

As a few people exited the inner courtyard, several figures seemed to have been waiting in the Government Office’s outer hall for quite some time.

When one of them turned around, Han Yu immediately recognized him.

Ling Wuce, this old guy, is here again!

It’s not that Han Yu doesn’t respect people, but rather that seeing this old guy always gives him a headache, as he tends to pull people into discussions out of the blue.

It’s really tiring!

This time, the entourage was slightly larger. Besides Ling Wuce himself, there were seven others, including three young cultivators and another four who were quite elderly, looking like old scholars.

In fact, they really were old scholars.

Ling Wuce introduced them, ”These four are cultivators from my Hundred Herbs Bureau, sent by Quan Xiaotong to see if they can help.”

The other three were obviously here just for the pills.

Ou Mingdong was still lying inside, and Han Yu wasn’t in the mood to fiddle around slowly. He straightforwardly took out three pills and explained to the three people in front of him.

Illusion-Breaking Pill: After consuming, an additional eye will grow between the eyebrows that can see through any illusion. Side effect: The third eye easily incites hostility from any nearby living creatures.

Three Hearts and Two Minds Pill: After consuming, one’s comprehension abilities are enhanced. Side effect: It’s very easy to misinterpret others’ words.

Forgetful Pill: After consuming, one can change their appearance once. Side effect: It’s easy to be forgotten by others when out of their sight.

”Choose what you want to take yourself!”

The Illusion-Breaking Pill was taken first. It’s not the first time a cultivator from the Inspectorate has consumed Han Yu’s pills, and there are already stories circulating inside, so those who come to him don’t hesitate. Once they got the pill, they swallowed it right away.

Within a few breaths, the cultivator clutched his head and rolled on the ground, writhing in pain.

Huangfu Liang was scared watching it, thinking that when he took pills back then, it wasn’t as miserable, was it!

”It’s different! This one’s growing an extra eye from within the body.”

Han Yu gave him a sidelong glance.

The pain came quickly and went quickly. In no time, the person was standing, and a vertical pupil, the size of a normal human eye, had grown in the middle of his forehead.

Before the cultivator could wipe his sweat, a sudden change occurred. Eight figures simultaneously attacked him, with great momentum, seemingly about to strike him down. At this point, Han Yu swiftly stepped in and covered the new third eye with his hand.

It was a close call, just about to hit, as a rush of True Essence swept through the courtyard, swirling up a gale, but fortunately, they all came to their senses in an instant and withdrew their True Essence.

Han Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had been on guard, not making eye contact with the other party; otherwise, this unlucky fellow might have been killed in an exasperating manner.

”What’s wrong with all of you?”

Only now did he have the leisure to ask these people, curious about what had caused them to attack.

Ye Hei, with an awkward smile, said, ”Just now, I felt that eye was insulting me and quite harshly.”

”That damn eye clearly called me a loser earlier. I’m going to gouge it out.”

Huangfu Liang still looked angry.

It was the same with the others from the Inspectorate.

In summary, this damn... this eye, when making eye contact with someone, insults people and quite harshly, enough to provoke someone to strike it dead.

Ling Wuce was very curious. As it happened, he was the only one who didn’t see it, and hearing this made him suddenly want to be insulted... no, want to see it too.

”No, if you look at it and a fight breaks out, the Government Office will be destroyed.”

Han Yu hurriedly persuaded this curious guy, suggesting they slowly experiment when back at the Inspectorate.

This three-eyed guy, now like a scared rabbit, didn’t need anyone to remind him and voluntarily covered his eye and quietly retreated to the back.

Then came the Three Hearts and Two Minds Pill, which a cultivator took, resulting in no major change. But when chatting, his expressions were very peculiar.

”You all go ahead!”

Ling Wuce gestured, but who knew the person would suddenly look shocked and shout, ”You want to kill us?”

”Are you crazy! I meant for you three to head back first!”

Ling Wuce’s face turned black instantly.

As a result, the other person went pale, muttering, ”It’s over, Tower Master Ling wants us to go home separately.”

In the end, it almost drove Ling Wuce mad. He had to gesture for the four people from the Hundred Herbs Bureau to take them out.

What about the last one?

Why not take it?

Ling Wuce apologized with a smile, ”I had that young man go out and take it elsewhere. Don’t worry, he’ll take it once he’s out.”

”Next, let’s discuss business!”

The reason he was leading this team, aside from ensuring the safety of these pill-consuming cultivators, was more importantly related to the attack on Ou Mingdong.

Though a cultivator from the Unparalleled Tower, he was also the White Emperor City Guardian now. With one of their own rendered powerless and injured so severely, there was no way the Fifth Tower could ignore it.

Otherwise, not only would they lose face with their subordinates, but the Imperial Court’s authority would also suffer greatly.

”The task you requested has already been done by the Inspectorate, and it should soon spread throughout White Emperor City.”

Spread what? Naturally, it was Han Yu’s Dragon Blood Stone. If anyone wanted it, they’d definitely come looking!
