Old Man Tianji's Fear

While everyone was worried about Old Man Tianji, Mu Qingling was a little annoyed. She had just seen her mother's figure, but it disappeared again.

"What's wrong with Grandpa? Hurry up and ask him to help me find Mom!"

Mu Qingling also came to Old Man Tianji and said to the elders who were trying to rescue him. She only knew that Old Man Tianji could help her find her mother.

However, this grandpa was a bit irresponsible. He had just seen her mother's figure and then made it disappear again.

"Ling'er, this grandpa is injured. Can we talk about Mom later, okay?"

Zhao Shanshan saw that the people from the Tianji Sect looked unwell. She came to Mu Qingling and said to her. If she wanted to know about Mu Qingling's mother, they could only wait until Old Man Tianji woke up.

"Is Grandpa injured? I have candy from Dad. Dad said that if I'm injured, eating one will be fine. Hurry up and give Grandpa the candy!"

Hearing that Old Man Tianji was injured, Mu Qingling took out a jade bottle, poured out a pill the size of a peanut, and handed the pill in her hand to the elders of the Tianji Sect.

"This... this is an Immortal Pill!"

Looking at the pill in the little girl's hand, an elder from the Tianji Sect said with some doubt, because the medicinal power emanating from the pill was something ordinary pills could not possess.

"It is indeed an Immortal Pill. Hurry up and give it to your eldest brother!"

Medicine Spirit's eyes were also filled with surprise. He recognized the pill immediately. What Mu Qingling was holding was indeed an Immortal Pill.

As a professional alchemist, although Medicine Spirit couldn't refine Immortal Pills yet, that didn't stop him from recognizing them!

At the same time, he was even more surprised by Mu Qingling's identity. She actually treated Immortal Pills as candy. What kind of family could afford such treatment!

Medicine Spirit felt that he wanted a dad like this too, then he could just lie flat from now on.

After receiving Medicine Spirit's confirmation, an Old Ancestor from the Tianji Sect quickly took the Immortal Pill from Mu Qingling's hand and gave it to Old Man Tianji to consume. His impression of Mu Qingling also improved significantly.

While they were all busy saving Old Man Tianji, deep in the Death Waters of the Beiting Domain in the True Spirit Realm, a huge palace was hidden.

In the central great hall of the palace, a woman was seated. From her slightly displeased expression, it was evident that she was an unparalleled beauty.

"Someone!"

Qingling's voice sounded, and a figure suddenly appeared before the woman and knelt down.

"Please give your orders, Imperial Lord."

"Ziyue, have there been any recent events in the outside world? Have there been any messages from the Twelve Imperial Guards?"

"Reporting to the Imperial Lord, there have been no major events in the outside world recently. The Twelve Imperial Guards have all sent back good news. Currently, the Twelve Imperial Guards have each occupied a domain."

"Everyone is doing their best to recover their strength and follow the Imperial Lord to kill their way back to the Immortal Realm."

"Give the order to keep a low profile during this period. If Emperor Yongle's Holy Land finds out we are in the lower realm, they will definitely come down and kill us."

"Before I recover my strength, our identities must not be exposed."

"Yes, Imperial Lord."

The woman called Ziyue responded, and her figure slowly disappeared from the great hall, leaving only the white-clothed woman in contemplation.

"Am I overthinking things?"

"But besides Emperor Yongle, who else would be spying on my whereabouts!"

After the white-clothed woman muttered, her figure also slowly disappeared from there, and the entire great hall became quiet again.

"Big brother, how are you?"

In the palace within the forbidden area of the Tianji Sect, upon seeing Old Man Tianji wake up, an elder asked him.

"I'm fine. I feel completely recovered. Brother Yao, thank you for your pill. It had such a good effect."

If he hadn't experienced it himself, Old Man Tianji wouldn't have believed that he had almost died just now, but now he was fully revived.

His Tianji Sect did not have such good pills, and besides Medicine Spirit, Old Man Tianji didn't believe anyone else could have saved him.

Therefore, the first thing Old Man Tianji did upon getting up was to thank Medicine Spirit. If Medicine Spirit hadn't intervened to save him, even if he didn't die, his cultivation would have regressed.

"Brother Tianji, you are mistaken. I do not have such powerful pills. The reason you recovered so quickly is all thanks to the little senior's Immortal Pill."

Medicine Spirit dared not take credit for this. He knew his own capabilities and knew he couldn't have such powerful pills. In the end, he was only a Rank Nine alchemist.

Let alone an Immortal-grade alchemist, he would be satisfied if he could break through to Rank Ten in this life.

"Little senior?"

"Brother Yao, what is going on!"

"You suddenly got injured and fainted. It was the little senior who took out an Immortal Pill to save you, so you should thank the little senior!"

"Immortal Pill?"

"You actually gave me an Immortal Pill to eat. What a waste!"

Upon hearing Medicine Spirit's words, Old Man Tianji couldn't believe it. He then complained to Medicine Spirit and the Old Ancestors of the Tianji Sect.

That was an Immortal Pill! A pill that only Immortal-grade alchemists could refine. In the True Spirit Realm, one Immortal Pill could hire ten Great Emperor Realm powerhouses.

But they actually gave it to him to eat. Old Man Tianji felt he was not worthy of an Immortal Pill, wasn't this a complete waste?

Medicine Spirit: ...

Everyone: "..."

No one had expected Old Man Tianji to say that. That was about their own lives!

"Grandpa, mine are candies, not immortal pills!"

"If you want to eat them, I can give you more. But, you have to help me find my mommy!"

Mu Qingling couldn't help but clarify what her candies were. These were all candies her daddy gave her, not some immortal pills.

When Old Man Tianji heard that Mu Qingling could give him a candy, his joy was almost uncontrollable.

But upon hearing Mu Qingling ask him to help find her mother again, Old Man Tianji's heart plummeted to the bottom once more.

Whenever he thought of the eyes of the Master in the image, his heart turned cold. It was simply too terrifying. He had never seen such a terrifying person.

Just a single glance from that person had caused him to suffer a backlash and nearly die. Even if Mu Qingling offered him an immortal pill, he wouldn't dare anymore.

"Little senior, I beg your pardon, but I am powerless to help. Your mother is too powerful; it's beyond my ability to divine."

"Grandpa, aren't you going to help me find my mommy anymore?"

As soon as Old Man Tianji finished speaking, Mu Qingling's expression changed. The cloak behind her fluttered as if in a wind, and even the air around them grew thick and heavy.

"Ling'er, don't rush. Let's ask for clarification before we make any plans, okay?"

Even Zhao Shanshan, the weakest among them, could feel it. As Mu Qingling's expression shifted, the entire world around them seemed to change with her.

Zhao Shanshan quickly tried to comfort Mu Qingling. If the little girl got angry, this place would likely cease to exist.
