Chapter 2597

"Her," Wen Jianjue said, looking at Yu Yinuo. "I won't hide it from you. Your condition was truly dire. Do you remember when we came here for barbecue last time? Before we left, Senior Sister Zhu gave each of us a small bottle."

"I remember," Yu Yinuo replied. "When we got back, we found they were Ninth-Grade Healing Pills. They even had pill patterns. We said those pills were worth a fortune."

"Yes. You were dying, so I had to use your pill to save your life. You survived, but your spiritual root, dantian, and cultivation were gone."

Wen Jianjue continued, "I thought that since Senior Sister Zhu had Ninth-Grade pills, she might be able to help you. So I brought you here to seek her aid. In fact, I realize now that was the best decision I’ve ever made. Although you’ve lost your cultivation, your dantian and spiritual root have recovered. According to Senior Sister Zhu, if you practice, you should recover to the Golden Core stage in about two or three years."

Yu Yinuo was stunned to hear his spiritual root and dantian had returned. Hearing that he could recover his cultivation in just two or three years shocked him and filled him with hope, though he still felt a bit skeptical. So, he sat cross-legged and circulated his qi to test it. He discovered that his current cultivation speed was far faster than his usual daily practice.

"I found that my dantian absorbs spiritual energy much faster now, and the flow of qi through my meridians is also much quicker," Yu Yinuo told Wen Jianjue.

Wen Jianjue was too shocked to speak.

Earlier, regarding Zhu Zhibin’s case, she had been half-believing. When Zhu Yanyi mentioned a secret technique, she accepted it, thinking it was just a special method. But now, Yu Yinuo’s recovery stood before her as proof.

If it were merely a simple secret technique, it wouldn’t be this powerful. This meant Zhu Yanyi held secrets others couldn’t imagine.

Before Wen Jianjue could think further or say more, Zhu Yanyi entered.

She didn’t say anything at first. She simply took Yu Yinuo’s pulse and said, "The recovery is good. However, you must cultivate your own power. I don’t have the ability to grant you cultivation out of thin air."

Yu Yinuo smiled, looking at Zhu Yanyi with deep gratitude. "Senior Sister Zhu, you’re amazing. How did you do it?"

Zhu Yanyi smiled gently and didn’t hide the truth. "Didn’t I tell you I’m a doctor?"

"A doctor?" Yu Yinuo was stunned. "You never said that. Does that mean Junior Brother Zhu’s talent awakening was also because you’re a doctor?"

Zhu Yanyi’s lips curved into a warm smile. "Something like that. I am a doctor. Generally, I can treat various illnesses and injuries." She then took out a bottle, poured out a pill, and handed it to Yu Yinuo. "Take this. It will benefit you."

Yu Yinuo took the pill and glanced at it. "A Ninth-Grade Pill? Senior Sister Zhu, you always give Ninth-Grade Pills. Are you trying to make us feel inadequate?"

The Sword Sect was a major sect, yet they only had one Ninth-Grade Pill, passed down from ancestors. After all, there were no Ninth-Grade Alchemists in the entire cultivation world.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yu Yinuo calmly and said slowly, "I am a Ninth-Grade Alchemist. These Ninth-Grade Pills are like candy to me."

Wen Jianjue and Yu Yinuo were shocked again. Who exactly had they met? She was even a Ninth-Grade Alchemist.

Zhu Yanyi asked slowly, "Do you need to be so surprised?"

"Sister, how can we not be surprised? A Ninth-Grade Alchemist! Look around the entire cultivation world; no such person has ever existed," Yu Yinuo said, rubbing his forehead with a helpless expression.

"Oh. That doesn’t mean I can’t be one," Zhu Yanyi said, her expression calm. "Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t. Don’t underestimate me."

She added, "Anyway, your body is basically fine. This is one of the benefits of being a cultivator. As long as the right medicine is used, recovery is very fast."

"Um…" Yu Yinuo seemed to think of something. "Senior Sister Zhu, can I stay at your place for a while?"

"Hmm?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Yu Yinuo. She admired her cleverness. She hadn’t expected the straightforward Yu Yinuo to be so smart.

But then she understood. Regardless of whether Yu Yinuo was straightforward, she was a descendant of a family in the cultivation world. she might not like to ask about certain things, but that didn’t mean she lacked brains.

Right now, she had lost her cultivation. While she had a chance to rebuild it, staying with Zhu Yanyi might allow her to progress faster. She sensed this implicitly, so she didn’t want to leave.

Zhu Yanyi pondered for a moment. "If your sect agrees to let you stay, you can live here for half a year."

"Half a year is fine," Yu Yinuo agreed quickly. He then looked at Wen Jianjue. "Senior Brother Wen, please help me contact the sect."

Wen Jianjue naturally had to contact them. With such an important event happening to Yu Yinuo, he couldn’t keep it from the sect. "Alright. Stay here. I’ll go handle some matters and come find you when I’m done."

Wen Jianjue didn’t object to Yu Yinuo’s request. In fact, Yu Yinuo was safer staying here.

Although she didn’t know Zhu Yanyi’s background, the fact that she had saved Yu Yinuo proved she had no ties to evil forces. Most importantly, she was a doctor. With her around, Wen Jianjue didn’t worry about Yu Yinuo being in danger.

After arranging Yu Yinuo’s stay, Wen Jianjue left. From that day on, Yu Yinuo stayed with Zhu Yanyi and her family.

Yan Aohan naturally knew Yu Yinuo had stayed. He said nothing, planning to hand the matter over to Zhu Zhibin once he came out.

Zhu Yanyi told Wen Jianjue everything about Yu Yinuo, and she reported it directly to the Sword Sect.

The Sword Sect learned of it and immediately sent someone to handle the matter. When Wen Jianjue saw the arrival, a hint of respect appeared on his usually calm face. "Eldest Senior Brother."

Yes, the person arriving was Baili He, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Sword Sect.

Although Baili He was a sword cultivator, his attitude was always gentle. Yet, such gentleness made people fear him more. He was the number one disciple of the Sword Sect.

How could someone gentle and without harsh methods become the top disciple?

Baili He nodded slightly and asked Wen Jianjue, "Where is Junior Brother Yu?"

"At the Yan family," Wen Jianjue said honestly, not hiding anything, and explained the situation to Baili He.
