Chapter 2634
"Look at you two. You want to go out like this? Don't embarrass yourselves," Yan Aohan said coldly. "For the next two days, heal your injuries and listen to my experience."
(⊙o⊙)… Well, hearing that, they knew they were in for special training.
In fact, that was exactly what was happening.
Although Yan Aohan’s tone was harsh, his goal was to help them avoid danger and return safely from their trials. Therefore, he taught them what needed to be taught.
However, with only two days available, Yan Aohan mostly forced them to swallow all kinds of dangerous situations whole, stuffing them into their minds. The rest, he left for them to understand on their own.
Zhu Yanyi didn’t care how Yan Aohan折腾 (tossed and turned) the two of them. Instead, she spent these two days personally cooking medicinal meals to replenish their bodies.
Zhu Yanyi’s medicinal meals were superb, so others naturally got to enjoy some too.
"Master, your medicinal meals are truly amazing," Lu Huoyan said, looking at Zhu Yanyi with admiration after finishing her meal. "Master, can you teach me?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Lu Huoyan and tossed a simple book on medicinal meals to her. "You can learn if you want. Medicinal meals can also help maintain health in daily life. But since you are just starting, begin with the basics. When your medicinal meals can move ten people, you will have mastered the初级 (basic) level. Then come to me for the intermediate manual."
"Okay, Master," Lu Huoyan agreed immediately.
Lu Huoyan looked at the tightly closed door and asked Zhu Yanyi, "Master, is the person in that room really my junior uncle?" She couldn't believe that someone she had casually saved was a friend of her junior uncle.
"That is only from my generation perspective. According to the rules of your cultivation world, she is actually your junior brother," Zhu Yanyi explained.
"However, we usually count generations from my side, so he is naturally your junior uncle. But your junior uncle has been cultivating for a short time, so do not mock him. After all, he has been cultivating for less than a year."
Lu Huoyan was stunned. "Master, has junior uncle been cultivating for less than a year? But I see he is already at the peak of Foundation Establishment, seemingly ready to enter the Golden Core stage at any moment."
"She has indeed been cultivating for less than a year, but she is my younger brother," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Lu Huoyan. "Have you forgotten that I am also a pill refiner?"
Lu Huoyan suddenly understood, thinking he had found the truth.
Zhu Yanyi was a pill refiner, so she could naturally refine pills with no side effects that benefited Zhu Zhibin. That was why Zhu Zhibin’s cultivation had improved so much in less than a year. She also understood why Zhu Yanyi and the others wanted Zhu Zhibin to go on trials: cultivation built up by pills, without mental enlightenment, would be extremely difficult to break through in the future.
Fortunately, Zhu Yanyi did not know Lu Huoyan’s thoughts. If she did, she would probably say, "Disciple, you are overthinking it."
But since she didn’t know, there was no need to explain further.
Lu Huoyan, believing she knew the truth, stopped being curious. After all, her master was a god-level pill refiner. It was natural for an older sister to help her younger brother; it was something that did not need questioning.
After the two-day "secret" training, Yan Aohan threw the two of them out the door. "Finish your tasks before coming back."
Yu Yinuo and Zhu Zhibin looked at each other. As fellow sufferers, they had no choice but to go do their tasks.
Zhu Yanyi watched their backs and asked Yan Aohan, "Will they be okay?"
"No," Yan Aohan smiled slightly. "You underestimate your brother too much. Zhibin is smarter than most people. After my training, he will definitely be fine. Don’t worry." Yan Aohan smiled gently. "Besides, I will secretly keep an eye on them."
Hearing the last sentence, Zhu Yanyi relaxed. As long as she was sure Zhu Zhibin and the others were not in danger, that was enough. She had already given Zhu Zhibin and Yu Yinuo plenty of pills, which could block danger if it arose.
At this moment, Zhu Yanyi seemed to remember something she had overlooked. "By the way, where are the Immortal Emperor and Cheng Pei?"
"The Immortal Emperor took Cheng Pei out shopping. She is also looking for traces of that Daoist," Yan Aohan explained to Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi made an "Oh" sound. "I think the Immortal Emperor might have found traces of that Daoist, and Cheng Pei is there to identify her."
"More or less. The Immortal Emperor calculated that they would meet the person in the next couple of days, so he took Cheng Pei out. It saves the trouble of finding a witness later," Yan Aohan said.
At this moment, the Immortal Emperor and Ding Chengpei had indeed met someone.
"Senior Uncle, that is the person," Ding Chengpei said, excited to encounter his enemy again.
The Daoist was holding a piece of wood on the ground. "Thousand-year Immortality Wood. Don’t miss out if you want it."
"That is our family’s old tree," Ding Chengmu recognized the wood.
The Immortal Emperor understood immediately. "The disaster that struck your Ding Family Village was ultimately caused by this Immortality Wood. Since that is the case, this wood must repay that karma."
After speaking, the Immortal Emperor held Ding Chengpei’s hand and walked up to the Daoist.
The Daoist saw the Immortal Emperor and said, "Friend, do you want to buy Immortality Wood? This thousand-year Immortality Wood is rare and hard to find."
The Immortal Emperor looked at the Daoist. "Immortality Wood needs people’s respect and kindness to grow. Yet you killed all the masters who raised it. How can the Immortality Wood serve you? That is why you are selling it, isn’t it?"
The Daoist did not expect this person to see through the origin of the Immortality Wood at a glance. However, he was not inexperienced. He said, "You are really something. If you want to buy this Immortality Wood, pay money. If you don’t want to buy it, leave. Why talk about useless things?"
The Immortal Emperor shook his head slightly. "Useful or not is for me to decide. But this Immortality Wood owes a village’s lives because of you. Its karma is not on you. Didn’t you realize this long ago?"
Hearing the Immortal Emperor’s words, danger flashed in the Daoist’s eyes. Yes, he knew the man in front of him was completely right.
Originally, Immortality Wood was a rare treasure in the cultivation world. With Immortality Wood, cultivators could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
But although he possessed the Immortality Wood, he could not use it no matter what he did, because the wood simply refused to help him.
Later, he consulted several people and checked many documents to find out the reason.
