Chapter 2674
Yan Aohan glanced at Zhu Yanyi, then said, "Now we should go back."
Standing in the sky, watching people below create and develop this world was nice. But watching forever was boring. It was better to return.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. She and Yan Aohan left together. They did not call out to the Immortal Emperors.
Seeing the couple leave, the Black Emperor asked the Heavenly Dao, "The Yan Queen purified this world for you. Why do you not repay her kindness?"
Repaying kindness was natural. Zhu Yanyi had purified the world’s malice and saved the Heavenly Dao. Her karmic merit was huge. But only the Heavenly Dao could grant it.
The Heavenly Dao spoke slowly, "If I give her merit now, she will ascend to the Divine Realm immediately. Then, matters here will remain unresolved. Let her finish things here first."
The Heavenly Dao had its own plans. "Besides, it is time for everyone to gather."
Hearing this, the Black Emperor understood.
Zhu Yanyi was close to becoming the Medical God. But she needed a trigger. Also, her grudge with the Evil Buddha needed settling. Giving her merit now was not the right time.
Zhu Yanyi did not know she could enter the Divine Realm anytime. She did not worry about it. She simply returned to the Suiyuan Pharmacy.
Back at the pharmacy, Zhu Yanyi found that Zhou Kun and the other five had successfully guided Qi.
"You actually guided Qi successfully. You are already at the early stage of Qi Condensation. This is very good," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
Zhou Kun and the others looked very happy.
Zhou Kun spoke first, "We succeeded mainly because of the lotus in the sky a few days ago. When the lotus passed, I felt gold elements rushing into my body. Then I succeeded."
An Guinong added, "Yes. We don’t know where the lotus came from. It purified the space of our whole world."
Yan Aohan pointed at Zhu Yanyi. "It was her method."
Zhou Kun and the others were stunned. They looked at Zhu Yanyi. They knew the couple was unusual. But they never thought Zhu Yanyi was linked to the lotus. Now they knew.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "The Heavenly Dao found the zombies. It used heavenly lightning to destroy them. The zombies were gone, but their poison remained. So I had to purify the air. Otherwise, new zombies would appear even if we killed these ones."
After Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, Ma Tianliang and Shangguan Haohan came out.
"Master," Ma Tianliang and Shangguan Haohan called out together.
"Haohan, are your injuries healed?" Zhu Yanyi was very confident in her medical skills.
Shangguan Haohan nodded. "Thank you for worrying, Master. I am fully recovered." He moved his hands and feet to show he was fine.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "But you two were really confused. You even took the wrong path to the Cultivation Realm."
Shangguan Haohan said helplessly, "The two paths looked the same. So we didn’t think much."
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "You are all clan leaders from great families. How could you be so confused?"
"Master, this is our first time cultivating," Ma Tianliang reminded her.
"Talking as if we have done it many times," Zhu Yanyi retorted. "I started just like you."
Ma Tianliang pointed at Yan Aohan. Then she said to Zhu Yanyi, "Zhu Yanyi, you are lucky. Lord Yanluo protects you. You are not like us."
Zhu Yanyi giggled, looking very proud. "Alright, let’s not talk about that. Tell me about the mortal world these years."
"It was okay. Since you erased your traces, the previous Chinese Emperor, Yan Xibei, insisted on revealing your existence. But for some reason, except for us, everyone else had vague memories of you and Lord Yanluo. They didn’t remember you. Yan Xibei came to see us. We did not meet him."
Ma Tianliang and the others knew Yan Xibei was Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan’s son. But since Zhu Yanyi erased her traces, it meant something unknown had happened between them and Yan Xibei.
Ma Tianliang, Shangguan Haohan, and Wu Han were smart. So for Yan Xibei’s request to meet, they only let their juniors receive him. They did not go themselves. They said they were in seclusion and should not be disturbed. After a few times, Yan Xibei stopped asking.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "Yan Xibei has returned to the Underworld. She has reincarnated."
Ma Tianliang and Shangguan Haohan looked at each other. Then Ma Tianliang asked, "Master, what exactly happened between you and Yan Xibei?"
"Nothing big. She just didn’t want to be our son anymore. So we let her go," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. Although she gave Yan Xibei advice after her death, it did not mean she would still recognize her as her son.
Ma Tianliang and Shangguan Haohan looked surprised. They didn’t expect that.
Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "Let’s not talk about it. She has reincarnated. Talking now is meaningless. You can cultivate well here. I purified the air. The Heavenly Dao destroyed all zombies. The population is smaller. So spiritual energy is abundant. It is not inferior to the Cultivation Realm. While you are here, cultivate more. After things here are settled, I will send you to the Cultivation Realm."
Zhu Yanyi instructed Ma Tianliang and Shangguan Haohan. She realized that although they were at the Golden Core stage, the mortal world’s spiritual energy was too thin. Their Golden Core achievement relied more on the spirit stones she had left. So, impurities remained in their bodies.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. She took out two small bottles and threw them to them. "Each bottle has a Marrow Cleansing Pill. Take it. It will expel all impurities from your bodies. This will greatly increase your chance of forming a Nascent Soul."
"Yes, Master." Ma Tianliang and Shangguan Haohan trusted Zhu Yanyi completely.
"Go back to your rooms to take the pills. Each room has a bathroom. Go clean up," Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. She did not want to see them while expelling impurities.
