Ling Yi, the Idol

"That's... Yu Xiaogang?"

Ling Yi's gaze shifted slightly as he looked down. Despite the thousand-meter height difference, his eyesight allowed him to clearly see the face of anyone within the city below. ♝🐜 👌🎈

Five or six years have passed since we last met. Yu Xiaogang looks much more mature now than when we first met in the desolate mountains. However, his decadent demeanor remains, and he gives people a sense of dejection.

A glint flashed in Ling Yi's eyes, and he began to focus his attention on Yu Xiaogang's figure, scanning his surroundings.

One circle, two circles, three circles... the area expanded considerably with each circle, but until the very end, Ling Yi still couldn't find the Soul King who was suspected to be the one who had secretly protected Yu Xiaogang back then.

"That's interesting."

Ling Yi looked at the figure looking around, a strange light appearing in his eyes.

At the same time, in the Jade Dragon Mountain Range.

Yu Yi climbed quickly and happily, leaping more than ten meters upwards with each light step, crossing each step one by one.

"Yu Yi, you're back?"

Midway through, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who was familiar with him spotted him and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Yes~" Yu Yi stopped and turned around, smiling and nodding, "Finally back—"

"Look at you, it seems like you got your Sixth Soul Ring quite smoothly~" another clansman laughed, "Congratulations!"

As this person began, many of his fellow clansmen turned their gazes toward him, and those who recognized him did not hesitate to offer a word of congratulations.

Yu Yi responded humbly to each of them, bowing respectfully.

After bidding farewell to his clansmen, Yu Yi ascended to the top of the Jade Dragon Mountain Range and arrived at the clan's courtyard, where the clan members' strengths were registered and their information was updated.

Becoming Soul Emperor means that Yu Yi's treatment within the family will be elevated to a new level, even if he is a collateral descendant.

In addition, Yu Yi can finally get rid of the task of guarding Yu Xiaogang.

Night fell, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

Inside Lingyun City, Yu Xiaogang sat by the window of his hotel room, looking out at the frost-covered houses in the bright moonlight.

Although his eyes were fixed on the city's night view, Yu Xiaogang's mind was back to ' Yelin City ' half a month ago.

The figure he could not forget for Jiujiu also appeared before his eyes.

"Stop--!"

With a soft shout, Yu Xiaogang, who had been knocked to the ground, did not receive another blow, but instead saw a familiar yet unfamiliar beautiful figure.

He felt familiar with the situation because not long ago, he had been in the audience and witnessed his opponent easily defeat a strong opponent.

The other party seemed unfamiliar because, including the recent "Stop!", Yu Xiaogang had only heard them say two sentences.

The first sentence is the girl's self-introduction to her opponent on the Soul Fighting Stage.

Those two short words made Yu Xiaogang lose his mind and wander to the other side of the world. His eyes were fixed on the girl's pretty face. He forgot to get up and didn't hear what the girl was saying to the vendor who had just hit him.

"Hello!"

A melodious, nightingale-like voice rang out again. "Are you alright? Should we go find Healing System Soul Master to treat you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang jolted awake, quickly scrambled to his feet, and looked at the young girl's figure standing two meters away. He shook his head repeatedly and waved his hands, saying:

"No... it's okay, I'm fine, no... there's no need to find Healing System... Soul Master..."

"Are you sure you don't need to?"

The girl's beautiful eyes glanced at the blood at the corner of Yu Xiaogang's mouth, as well as the blood-stained torn clothes on her shoulders. 🎀♠ 👌♨

Sensing the girl's gaze, Yu Xiaogang finally had time to check his injuries. He first touched the corner of his mouth, finding that apart from a slightly loose tooth, there was nothing seriously wrong. Then he turned to look at his injured shoulder, feeling the burning pain, and forced himself not to gasp, saying in a low voice, "This... it's nothing serious, I'll just apply some herbal medicine when I get back—"

"Herbal medicine?" Upon hearing this, the young girl raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with interest, "You spoke quite knowledgeably about ' Blue Silver Grass ' just now. Are you planning to buy fifty-year-old ' Blue Silver Grass ' to make medicine?"

As time went by, the contents of the three basic prescriptions developed by Ling Yi became widely known. Even though the precise proportions were still kept by a few people, the types of herbs in the prescriptions were no longer a secret.

Therefore, the "Blue Silver Grass" that appears in all three prescriptions has gradually become known and accepted by everyone on the mainland.

Based on the fact that "Blue Silver Grass" itself has a neutral attribute and basically does not conflict with any attribute, it can be said that under Ling Yi's guidance, "Blue Silver Grass" is now like licorice, the "king of all-purpose herbs" in his previous life. In any herbal recipe, people will consider adding "Blue Silver Grass" to try and see if there are any positive changes.

Even if there are no positive changes, as long as things don't get worse, the amount of medicinal liquid and powder produced can still be increased, so no matter how you calculate it, you won't lose money.

Watching the girl's departing figure, Yu Xiaogang felt secretly annoyed. When she asked about herbs, he had been speechless like an idiot!

Just as he was about to raise his hand to slap himself, he accidentally aggravated the injury on his shoulder. The burning pain brought Yu Xiaogang back to his senses.

He glanced at the wound that had just been bandaged and saw blood seeping out again, so he had to take out his homemade "Wound Medicine" and reapply the medicine and bandage himself.

The next day, although his injuries had not yet healed, Yu Xiaogang arrived at the Yelin Great Soul Fighting Arena early in the morning, silently waiting for something.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when his stomach was growling with hunger, that a familiar figure stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform, drawing all of Yu Xiaogang's attention.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang completely forgot about both the pain in his shoulder and the hunger in his stomach.

The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...

On the seventh day, Yu Xiaogang finally mustered up his courage, grabbed his homemade "Wound Medicine - Enhanced Type," and stood at the entrance of the Yelin Great Soul Fighting Arena, waiting for the girl to finish the match.

"Wait... please wait a moment..."

Watching the beautiful figure about to pass by again, Yu Xiaogang spoke with immense courage.

"Um?"

The girl turned around at the sound of his voice and saw Yu Xiaogang, who looked much cleaner and tidier after his special grooming. Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, and after a couple of breaths, she exclaimed, "It's you! How have you been these past few days? Is your injury healed?"

He asked the question, glancing at the other person's shoulder.

"Okay... okay~" Yu Xiaogang pursed his lips and replied softly, "Thank you... for that day..."

"It's nothing—" the girl waved her hand dismissively.

"This..." Yu Xiaogang held up the uncolored wooden box in front of him and handed it to the girl. "This is my improved ' Wound Medicine,' and its effect is three times stronger than the original. I... I saw that you were injured during the competition today, so you can... you can use this..."

"You improved it?"

The girl, who was about to refuse, paused upon hearing this, looked at the wooden box with some surprise, and then looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked.

"Yes!" Seeing the girl's surprise, Yu Xiaogang subconsciously straightened his back and nodded vigorously. "It's me."

"You're quite impressive. There are quite a few people on the mainland who have obtained the formula, but as far as I know, most of them just use the formula directly for production. You've actually been able to improve it—"

The girl's praise filled Yu Xiaogang with indescribable joy. He scratched his head and said modestly, "It's nothing. I just tried out the original formula little by little based on the ' Wound Medicine ' I bought and the types of herbs that were circulating, and then slowly improved it based on the original formula..."

After a pause, Yu Xiaogang continued, "The truly remarkable one is Master Ling Yi. Without his original formula, I wouldn't have been able to make any further improvements..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu Xiaogang regretted them.

The girl, who had initially been polite but distant, suddenly brightened up. "You also think Ling Yi is amazing, right?!"

At this moment, the spirited and powerful young woman transformed into a fan who idolized her idol, and met a comrade who also idolized her idol and was praising him.

"By the way, my name is Bibi Dong," the girl introduced herself, then asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is... Yu Xiaogang."

To be continued tomorrow, goodnight everyone~
