Chapter 217 Senior Sister (Please Subscribe)
An hour and a half later, at the mountain villa where Meng Weiyun was temporarily staying.
When Lin Rui returned here with the head of the young man in white, his mind was still unsettled and his soul seemed unanchored.
He was thinking about the time when he killed the young man in white, the ball of electric light and white fire that burst out from the young man's neck.
After that flash of electric light and white fire, it all poured into his body, making the 'Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire' mark on his chest even hotter.
Lin Rui clearly felt that this thing gave an even greater boost to his Guang Ming-based physical martial arts.
The ironic thing was that shortly after Lin Rui's awakening of the 'Indestructible Divine Sun', his body began to brew another bloodline talent, taking shape.
From his feeling, awakening this talent seemed very near, at most three to five months—
But what exactly was the reason for all this?
And the silver-white mirror that belonged to the young man in white, capable of observing and recording from fourteen li away, Lin Rui studied it for a while, but found it completely unusable.
This Magic Artifact probably needed to be used in conjunction with a specific Secret Technique or a particular bloodline power. Lin Rui had already asked Professor Han to help him look up relevant information.
The mirror's usage remained a mystery, but Professor Han had already discovered the identity of the man, who was the fifth Saint Heir of Guang Ming, Xu Zhe!
He had actually killed the fifth Saint Heir of Guang Ming.
"It really is the 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill'!"
Meng Weiyun had finished appraising the pills Lin Rui brought back, her voice full of surprise, "Number Twelve, you're truly remarkable. You were even able to get this bottle of 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill' under such circumstances."
What delighted her was that Lin Twelve not only brought back the pills her master needed but also the True Intent of 'Heavenly Origin Dragon Transformation Art.'
It was precisely the martial body Meng Weiyun most desired, and if she switched to cultivating it successfully, her combat strength could increase by at least twenty percent.
And in the future, whether it was reaching the Seventh Realm or attaining Imperial-grade bloodlines, it all became very hopeful.
To be honest, before this, Meng Weiyun had been ready to give up, as long as Lin Twelve returned safely.
She never expected that Lin Twelve would manage to bring back everything she needed.
At this moment, Meng Weiyun finally noticed that something was off with Lin Rui's expression, and she asked with a hint of confusion, "Number Twelve, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem so out of sorts, and your complexion isn't very good?"
"My lord," Lin Rui returned to his senses upon hearing this and then gave a wry smile, "This has to do with my experience in the underground palace. You have no idea how I got this bottle of pills."
He began to recount the entire ordeal of Qin Yan's dungeon, not leaving out a single detail to Meng Weiyun.
A moment later, Meng Weiyun narrowed her eyes, "So you're saying this bottle of 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill' was given to you voluntarily by that Professor Han? And this Guang Ming Saint Heir who followed you, was also killed in cooperation with Fei Yunlai?"
She pointed her finger at the severed head that Lin Rui had brought back.
With a humiliated expression, Lin Rui bowed deeply, full of shame, "I am incompetent. I was calculated and toyed with by these external Heavenly Demons, brought to such humiliation, and have disgraced you."
"What's there to fret about?" Meng Weiyun laughed it off unconcernedly, "In the end, you did get the 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill'! I can also roughly tell that the reason you fell into their scheme was ultimately due to insufficient intelligence, limited understanding of the external Heavenly Demons, not because of your abilities.
Besides, didn't you catch up with them? The fact that you had previously dusted Professor Han's Mecha with powder to leave a scent trail shows that you are meticulous and considerate in every aspect."
Meng Weiyun also clicked her tongue in admiration, "I am even more surprised that both Zhou Changgong and Duan Pengxuan fell to your hand. Zhou Changgong is one thing; his talent is great with promising prospects in martial arts, but he's a bit foolish. However, that Duan Pengxuan is truly an impressive figure."
What pleased her even more was that the death of Duan Pengxuan would directly implicate the governor of the sand province!
Lin Twelve had actually recorded the scene of Duan Pengxuan's attempted assassination on him with a Shadow Projection Stone.
With this evidence in hand, the second Divine Envoy who had been supporting the emperor would no longer have anything to say.
This child was not only exceptionally talented but also very fortunate.
After hearing her words, Lin Rui's enthusiasm was still low, "I was just lucky. All of this was in the calculations of those Heavenly Demons."
"Twelve, don't overestimate them."
Meng Weiyun shook her head disdainfully, "If it weren't for you showing your mighty strength this time and taking out Zhou Changgong and Duan Pengxuan in one fell swoop, they wouldn't have been able to get their hands on those things inside Qin Yan's cave dwelling. I bet they were surprised themselves.
And do you really think that Professor Han was willing to give you that bottle of 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill'? I would bet that when you chased after him, they were just bluffing. If Fei Yunlai had recovered, would he have needed to dig a tunnel to get in? He could have swept through the underground palace by himself, slapping dead Zhou Changgong and Duan Pengxuan with a single hand."
According to Lin Twelve's account, it was after he caught up with Professor Han that he was intimidated by the divine will of a nearby seventh realm expert and was forced to stop his pursuit, stopping the chase after obtaining that bottle of 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill'.
Later, when Lin Twelve was attacked by the Sect Heir of the demonic cult, Fei Yunlai indeed made a sudden appearance and helped Lin Twelve eliminate the demon.
However, Meng Weiyun wasn't convinced; Fei Yunlai must have been putting on airs to look fat despite being beaten up.
She hasn't recovered yet, and Fei Yunlai's injuries were even more severe than hers, so why would he be able to recover?
Just from that belt, you could tell that Fei Yunlai was out of money.
The years of fleeing had gradually drained Fei Yunlai's assets.
That guy wouldn't have been able to get his hands on top-notch healing medicine.
"So that's how it is. I also felt something was off at that time," Lin Twelve looked relieved but still puzzled, "However, what I don't understand is, why would Fei Yunlai want to help me?"
"Why else?" Meng Weiyun let out a snort of laughter, "Nothing more than seeing your bright future and wanting to form a good relationship with you in advance, selling you a favor to facilitate future corrupting influences. This is exactly what those extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are best at. Surely, Professor Han must have said something else to you?"
"Yes! You are perceptive, my lord." Lin Rui's face became solemn, his expression filled with extreme indignation, "That Han indeed said some things to me, mentioning the purchase of that titanium gold knife dragon that I took down, and also mentioned that I could buy some Heavenly Demon items from him if needed. If I was willing to work for them, there would be additional rewards and so on. I have firmly rejected! Such nonsensical babble simply dirtied my ears, I wished I could have killed him right then and there."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Weiyun's chin lifted slightly, intrigued, "He really said that? Junior brother, I know you abhor evil and guard yourself against the Heavenly Demons, but there's a saying, 'Master the demons to control the demons.' If he contacts you again, you might as well interact with him a bit—"
She had only gotten halfway through her sentence when she saw Lin Twelve staring at her with wide eyes, an incredulous look on his face. Meng Weiyun couldn't help but let out a light laugh, "Of course, it's unacceptable for us to work for the Heavenly Demons, but they do have some good items in their hands that we don't have in the Great Song, like the mecha piloted by Professor Han. If we could trade for it, it would greatly benefit us. Also, their potions, which are different from our pills, could greatly aid in our martial cultivation. Consider this a task I'm entrusting to you, junior brother."
If Lin Twelve could secure this channel, perhaps in the future, she would have items that she needed Lin Twelve to purchase on her behalf.
Meng Weiyun also had channels to buy items from the Heavenly Demons, but they were neither stable nor reliable, not to mention the heart-wrenching prices.
One wonders what sort of person Professor Han really is?
As a Sky Official of the Imperial City, Meng Weiyun had frequent contact with extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons and knew that not all Heavenly Demons were the same.
Lin Rui frowned deeply, looking reluctant yet compelled, "Understood, I obey the command!"
Then he paused, "What did you call me just now, junior brother?"
Meng Weiyun's gaze turned teasing, "Didn't you call me senior sister back in the underground palace? Why are you shy about it now?"
Lin Rui looks embarrassed; back then, he was just borrowing tiger's might, intending to intimidate Duan Pengxuan's subordinates and the demonic dragon, making sure that nobody interfered in his fight with Duan Pengxuan.
Meng Weiyun then chuckled lightly, "Over ten days ago, I had already recommended you to our master, asking her to take you into our sect. Presumably, there will be news before long."
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at the bottle of pills in front of her.
Meng Weiyun had indeed sent a letter back to the capital thirteen days ago to recommend Lin Twelve to her master.
Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
She had been very confident before, and now with that bottle of 'Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill,' the matter was almost certain.
"By the way," Meng Weiyun then pointed to two metal tokens next to her, "What are these things? Also from Qin Yan's cave dwelling?"
"These are called 'Cloud Palace Jade Tokens,'" Lin Rui spoke without much concern, "given to me by Professor Han as well. They're said to be tokens for the disciples of Limitless Saber Venerable Du Zunlong, granting the holder entry into Du Zunlong's dwelling, the Cloud Palace."
Lin Rui spoke as if he wasn't very interested, "Professor Han stated that he has confirmed Du Zunlong entered the 'Abyss' before his death, and holding these two Cloud Palace Jade Tokens is too hot to handle. So he asked me to pass them on to you. He also mentioned that the person backing Duan Pengxuan might already know the location of the Cloud Palace."
"What?" Meng Weiyun's delicate frame shook slightly at the word 'Abyss,' and she turned pale, "Junior brother, why didn't you speak of this earlier?"
These two Cloud Palace Jade Tokens were far more valuable than the bottle of Divine Heart Clearing Spirit Pill.
