Chapter 2389

Xie Jifan held Wu Xunmei and spun around in circles. "Wife, I am finally free from all the affairs of the Underworld. I no longer need to worry about the Underworlds of the seven realms across all planes. I can finally relax. Wife, we can go travel."

Wu Xunmei glanced at Xie Jifan. "The Gathering of Gods is approaching. Let’s talk after it passes."

Xie Jifan paused. "If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to organize the Gathering of Gods."

"o(￣︶￣)o." Wu Xunmei gave Xie Jifan a sidelong look. "If you hadn’t held the Gathering of Gods, Yan Emperor wouldn’t have returned to his position at this moment."

Xie Jifan was stunned again. He seemed to have forgotten that Yan Aohan was a devoted husband who wanted to experience everything with his wife. Thinking of this, he sighed. "Well, at least Yan Emperor’s return is a good thing for me."

With Yan Emperor’s return, the soul energy in the Underworld became dense once more. All the ghosts and underworld officials cheered, as their cultivation levels instantly improved. This was a benefit for all Underworld personnel.

With Yan Emperor’s protection, they no longer had to worry about anyone targeting them.

Zhu Yanyi, the Yan Empress, who had been drying medicinal herbs, felt a stir in her heart. She sat down immediately, and her cultivation skyrocketed. She broke through from the peak of Earth Immortal to the early, middle, and late stages of Heavenly Immortal, then to the peak of Heavenly Immortal, and finally entered the middle stage of Golden Immortal. Although she could have advanced further, Zhu Yanyi suppressed her cultivation due to concerns about her mental state, stopping at the middle stage of Golden Immortal.

This rapid promotion startled the four members of the Leng family nearby.

As a Golden Immortal, Zhu Yanyi appeared more ethereal and elusive.

"Master, how did you become a Golden Immortal all at once?" Leng Manshuang asked curiously.

Hearing Leng Manshuang’s question, Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "I just happened to improve unexpectedly." She looked up at the sky and smiled. "Regardless, this is still a joyful event."

Yan Aohan had broken through to the Emperor Venerable stage, which meant he would return soon.

The increase in cultivation was indeed a happy occasion. Even though the four Leng family members were curious about why Zhu Yanyi had improved so quickly, it was undeniably a good thing.

"Congratulations, Master." Even without knowing the reason for her promotion, their congratulations were sincere.

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. She was now wondering when Yan Aohan would return. However, since there was no news of his return, the red spider lily from the Du family in Nanhua had already been thrown into the air. Thus, Zhu Yanyi needed to go treat Du Yuanlang.

When Zhu Yanyi arrived at the Du residence, Du Yuansheng greeted her with a joyful face. "Fairy, I have collected all the medicinal herbs you requested. What should we prepare now?"

"Prepare a quiet guest room. I need to refine the Jade Immortal Pill." Zhu Yanyi inspected the herbs and confirmed they were correct, so she did not make any further demands.

Du Yuansheng immediately arranged for the room to be prepared.

The Du family had plenty of rooms. Zhu Yanyi entered the room, summoned the Medicine God Cauldron, and began throwing the herbs inside.

Refining the Jade Immortal Pill was extremely time-consuming and exhausting for others, but for Zhu Yanyi, it was simple. Three days later, the Jade Immortal Pill was ready.

Du Yuansheng had been waiting outside the room. Seeing Zhu Yanyi emerge, she rushed forward. "Fairy, how did it go? Was it successful?"

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "Since I dared to guarantee the refinement, it naturally succeeded." She took out a small jade bottle. "It is done. Let’s go treat Third Master Du."

"Great!" Du Yuansheng laughed happily and led Zhu Yanyi to see Du Yuanlang.

Zhu Yanyi handed the pill to Du Yuanlang. "This is the Jade Immortal Pill. It is called so because after taking it, your physique will become as pure as jade and as ethereal as an immortal.

However, the process of transformation will be extremely painful. Especially since your tibia is broken and your dantian is destroyed, the medicine will reconnect your tibia and regenerate your dantian. Therefore, the pain will be severe. Of course, among the methods I know to treat you, this one causes the least pain."

"It doesn’t matter. I am not afraid of pain," Du Yuanlang smiled. "After so many years, having the hope to stand up again, how could I give up because of pain? Rest assured, I will never give up."

Du Yuanlang was a strong person. Otherwise, he would not have remained so lucid over the years. Once a prodigy, he had suddenly become useless. Now, with the chance to rise again, he felt only joy. The pain and the process were insignificant.

Seeing that she truly was not afraid, Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Then take it. Rest assured, as long as you endure the pain, you will recover your former talent, and perhaps even become more outstanding."

"Thank you." Du Yuanlang took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

The pain was indescribable. At times, Du Yuanlang even wondered if the pill was intentionally tormenting him. However, he clearly felt his body changing.

As a cultivator, he could look inward. He clearly saw his broken tibia reconnecting piece by piece. After his tibia was fully connected, he saw a small dot appear in his previously empty dantian. It gradually expanded. He could clearly see that his shattered dantian was slowly reconnecting.

It was like a skilled tailor sewing a torn piece of cloth. Slowly, the scars faded.

She did not know how much time passed. When she finally woke up fully, she found her bones and muscles restored, and her dantian intact.

She stood up and took her first step. For so many years, she had wanted to take this step, but had always been disappointed. Now, finally, she took that first step.

"Third Brother, you are standing! You can walk!" Du Yuansheng rushed over and hugged Du Yuanlang.

Du Yuanlang and Du Yuansheng embraced tightly. Then, Du Yuanlang let go, raised his arms to the sky, and declared, "I, Du Yuanlang, have returned."

The moment these three words were spoken, he felt his spiritual energy surging. He jumped directly from the early, middle, late, and peak stages of Heavenly Person to the early, middle, late, and peak stages of Immortal, then entered the early, middle, late, and peak stages of Earth Immortal, and finally reached the early stage of Heavenly Immortal.
