Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I am wondering when my sister will truly become a god."
"It will happen. Did we not go through the same?" Xie Jifan smiled gently. "First, she must find the Great Dao’s secret. Once she finds it, her progress will speed up. Her mortal heart cultivation is nearly complete. For the next thirty years, we need not worry about her."
"It is good for her to go to the cultivation world in thirty years," Wu Xunmei nodded with a smile.
"Actually, she should ascend in thirty years," Xie Jifan pointed to the sky. "If she comprehends the初级 Great Dao secret within thirty years, she can mend this sky. She will gain great karmic merit and ascend. She has only thirty years."
Wu Xunmei nodded in understanding. Thirty years was long for mortals, but a blink for cultivators. She hoped everything would go smoothly.
Zhu Yanyi did not know this. She only felt her pain slowly fading. She realized her clothes had turned to ash because of the Yan Queen. Her hair had grown down to her heels.
"I have become the Long-Haired Girl," Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. She stood in mid-air, looking at Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan smiled. "Go tidy up. You can change your hair length as you wish."
Zhu Yanyi nodded and entered her Ruyi Space. After washing and changing clothes, she looked at her long hair. With a simple thought, it shortened to its usual length.
When she came out, she saw Yan Aohan waiting. She ran into his arms.
"Let’s go visit the Underworld," she said.
With the Yanluo and Yan Queen activated, the Underworld was within them. They could go anywhere easily.
They flashed into the Underworld. Zhu Yanyi felt a strange sense of familiarity. Perhaps it was because the Underworld was now inside her.
They did not need to walk slowly. A thought was enough to enter any place.
"I never thought I would reach this day," Zhu Yanyi sighed. "In my past life, I was still worrying about work."
"The past is like a dream. Treat it as an experience. Do not think too much," Yan Aohan advised with a smile.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. She looked at Yan Aohan. "Thank goodness you are here to protect me."
Yan Aohan looked satisfied. "I always knew I existed for you. Protecting you is my favorite thing to do."
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan left the Underworld. Yan Aohan took her back to her dormitory at the Sage Academy. They saw the Silver Fox still in the courtyard.
Zhu Yanyi waved at the fox. "Silver Fox, does your Heavenly Fox Clan have no work? Why are you here?"
The Silver Fox threw a storage bag. "These are some herbs collected according to your list."
Zhu Yanyi knew the fox wanted to help the sleeping girl, Ling Shu. She nodded with a smile. "Do not worry. I will close my door for a short time. I will practice alchemy and try to raise my level."
The Silver Fox nodded. "I know your talent is there. I am still having others collect more herbs. I will send them when there are enough."
"Good." Zhu Yanyi nodded. She felt softer now, like someone who had returned to simplicity. She looked ordinary, but gave people a special feeling.
"In four years, you can go to the Medical World for training," the Silver Fox said seriously. "If you are lucky, you can collect a herb called Medicine Bodhi."
"The Medicine Bodhi has two uses. First, after you take it, you can store your cultivation in it. When you ascend, you can release it. This way, you will not be suppressed by high cultivation in any plane.
Second, you must return to the Huaxia plane because your relatives are there. But your current Dongxu cultivation is too strong. It will put heavy pressure on that plane. The Medicine Bodhi can compress your cultivation. You will not cause pressure in the Huaxia plane. You must find it."
"Medicine Bodhi," Zhu Yanyi nodded. She thought about her cultivation. Although she was at the Dongxu stage, she could not compare with Yan Aohan. She could not control her power easily. Relying on external medicine was necessary. "I remember." She was determined to go to the Medical World.
Yan Aohan said to Zhu Yanyi, "We cannot stay in this plane too long. The Heavenly Dao cannot stop us, but we should give it some face."
Zhu Yanyi hummed. "You can go back. No one in this plane is my opponent now. You do not need to worry about me."
Indeed, no one in this plane could defeat Zhu Yanyi.
Yan Aohan nodded in agreement. "When you come out of the Medical World, your time here will be nearly up. I will come to take you to the Huaxia plane."
Zhu Yanyi nodded again. "I understand."
Yan Aohan and the Silver Fox talked with Zhu Yanyi for a while. They gave her some advice on the Dongxu stage, then left.
After they left, Zhu Yanyi wanted to visit Xi Muzheng. Unexpectedly, Xi Muzheng came to her.
"Dean, I was just going to find you," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "I plan to close my door again to improve my alchemy level."
Xi Muzheng was slightly surprised, then smiled. "I came at the right time. Zhu Yanyi, with your cultivation, you can no longer be a student. I discussed with other elders. We invite you to be an Honorary Elder. What do you think?"
"What responsibilities do I have?" Zhu Yanyi asked.
Zhu Yanyi knew every position had responsibilities. She asked because she disliked doing too much work. She was lazy.
Xi Muzheng laughed dryly. "The responsibility is simple. If the Sage Academy faces life or death, you must step in. You are the academy’s trump card."
"So, I am the Sage Academy’s ace," Zhu Yanyi thought. This was acceptable.
