Earth, behind the White Jade City.
Yang Fei took out the bodies of Mo Li, Chen Liangzhong, and Zuo Wenjun from a storage bag.
He personally dug a large hole and buried the three bodies there. freёwebnovel.com
Looking at the new grave, Yang Fei softly said, "Esteemed seniors, I originally should have brought you back to Earth while you were still alive, but the secret of the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl is immensely significant, and I dared not take that risk. I could only bring your bodies back for burial after your deaths. I hope you can understand my difficulties."
"The last few years of your lives were spent together, and you passed away on the same day, so I buried you together. Under the yellow springs, you’ll have company and won’t feel lonely."
Yang Fei took out a large bottle of Immortal Drunk from another storage bag and poured it in front of the grave. After finishing all this, he sighed silently and, using his powerful Divine Sense, located where Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao lived, seeing the couple diligently cultivating while in the next room, the second aunt was already sound asleep.
Although the second aunt’s health has been very good after arriving at White Jade City and she even received a Longevity Pill to extend her life, Yang Fei could visibly see that she appeared much older than before.
The second aunt cannot cultivate and is a true mortal. Even if I give her the best living environment, ensuring she won’t suffer from terminal diseases like cancer, now at over eighty years old, she probably won’t live much longer.
Yang Fei felt increasingly heavy and depressed.
At the same time, he silently understood what it truly means that mortals and immortals are different.
After stepping into the Core Formation Stage, my lifespan is six hundred years. Yet as a mortal, the second aunt, even if she lives to a hundred, has less than twenty years left.
But twenty years for a cultivator might just be one round of secluded cultivation.
Then there’s Yang Hao and Huang Qiaoqiao.
Though both have been diligently cultivating, their aptitude and talent are not very impressive.
With years of genetic liquid medicine enhancement, Yang Hao was finally able to develop a Spirit Root. With my assistance, Foundation Establishment shouldn’t be an issue for him, and even Core Formation is quite possible.
But Huang Qiaoqiao isn’t the same.
If she cannot develop Spirit Root Talent under the effects of genetic liquid medicine in the future, she will forever remain a mortal.
At that point, when Yang Hao establishes his foundation with a lifespan of three hundred years, he would witness his beloved woman slowly aging and then peacefully passing away in his embrace.
Yang Fei silently understood what it meant when cultivators looked at mortals as if they were ants.
Cultivators, in essence, are no longer ordinary flesh and blood, becoming a different species from mortals.
After observing for a while, Yang Fei withdrew his Divine Sense, not disturbing the rest of Yang Hao and his second aunt.
He returned to his room, then used the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl to return to Piaomiao Stream.
In the days that followed, Yang Fei remained in a depressed state for quite some time.
Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu noticed his unusual mood, offering him guidance separately, but he couldn’t escape that emotional state; even his cultivation seemed lackluster.
The two women could see this but didn’t know how to help him move past it, so they patiently accompanied him, trusting that time would heal all.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
That morning, Wan Daorong suddenly arrived.
He did not enter Piaomiao Stream but instead used Divine Sense outside to transmit a message to Yang Fei: "Fei’er, someone from your hometown has come."
Yang Fei was taken aback by the words, then his spirits lifted, and he flashed to Wan Daorong’s side, first respectfully greeting him as Master, then asking, "Who has come?"
"There are two people, one named Helian Zhan, the other Ouyang He," Wan Daorong said.
Yang Fei quickly asked, "Master, where are they?"
"The one named Helian Zhan said he wants to see his daughter, so he went to the Medicine Garden," Wan Daorong replied.
Yang Fei said, "Then I’ll go to the Medicine Garden to have a look."
To his knowledge, Helian Rong lives in the Medicine Garden. She has a keen interest in herbs and alchemy. After joining the Inner Sect of Tian Nan Peak, she became involved under a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse in charge of the Medicine Garden, where she has been caring for and managing the spirit grass and spirit medicine cultivated at Tian Nan Peak.
Seeing Yang Fei rushing toward the Medicine Garden, Wan Daorong couldn’t help but grunt, "Why are you in such a hurry, young one? I am still here."
Yang Fei gave an awkward smile, only then realizing that if it were just a simple matter, Wan Daorong wouldn’t personally come to inform him. He hurriedly said, "Master, is there something you have to discuss with me?"
Wan Daorong snorted, his gaze sweeping over Yang Fei a few times, "I came to see if you have been neglecting your cultivation lately."
Yang Fei quickly replied, "How could that be? Disciple is constantly working hard in cultivation, hoping to grow stronger soon."
Wan Daorong coldly remarked, "Perhaps not. I have observed that your cultivation progress over this past year seems not to be very significant."
Yang Fei was speechless, "Really, Master? I feel my progress is quite fast, and yet you’re still not satisfied?"
Wan Daorong said, "Compared to before, it’s slower. Plus, I notice that you seem a bit downcast. Have you encountered some unresolved inner conflict?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Yang Fei shook his head, "No."
Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu had reminded him many times, and he knew there indeed was a problem with his mentality. However, he understood that such issues aren’t resolved by others’ guidance but by coming to terms with them himself.
Wan Daorong scrutinized Yang Fei for a few moments, then slowly nodded, "If there’s anything you can’t figure out, come to me for guidance. Of course, some things are better resolved by yourself to truly understand them." After a pause, he continued, "The genetic liquid medicine offered by Earth this time has arrived, with a quota increased by thirty percent."
Yang Fei’s expression subtly changed at the words, "Increased by thirty percent?"
Wan Daorong nodded, looking at him, "I heard that production has increased, hence more was sent over."
Yang Fei was greatly shocked and inexplicably angered.
Such a big thing, and in my absence from Earth, who on earth acted on their own discretion?
Could it be a decision made together by Master Huang Chengcheng and Qin Yanyang’s grandfather, Qin Huai’an?
He felt an urge to immediately return to Earth and confront those two for clarification.
But after contemplating, he suppressed his curiosity and suspicion, saying to Wan Daorong, "This is a good thing. If the quality remains unchanged, increasing production benefits the Shang Qing Sect, doesn’t it?"
Wan Daorong nodded, "Indeed, there are benefits." He thought for a moment, "Fei’er, if you can go back, unravel this matter. If we can get more genetic liquid medicine for our Shang Qing Sect, it would be even better."
Yang Fei thought to himself that arbitrarily offering more tribute to the Southern Domain was already a bad move on Earth’s part. Now there are aspirations to gain more, but such fortuitous things rarely go as one plans.
Riddled with doubts and eager for answers, he said, "Yes, I’ll first meet them and ask what’s going on."
Wan Daorong made a sound of affirmation and stopped him again, "Fei’er, do you still have any genetic liquid medicine left? This past few years, after consuming the genetic liquid medicine, my cultivation bottleneck seems to have loosened a bit."
Yang Fei’s eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Yang Fei pursued further, "Is Master on the verge of another breakthrough?"
In the depths of Wan Daorong’s eyes, a flash of light appeared as he nodded slightly.
Yang Fei was both surprised and delighted, "I don’t have any stock on me right now, but rest assured, Master, I will certainly find a way to get more for you."
Wan Daorong was inwardly elated, although outwardly he showed no sign, and nodded, "Alright, go meet your two friends first."
