Chapter 863: Blue Lotus Flower
"I need to find a Spiritual Medicine, not sure if there's any in the Myriad Monsters Valley. If not, I'll have to go to another sect!"
"What Spiritual Medicine are you looking for?" asked the Valley Master.
"A Nine Leaves Grass, called Green Lotus. Do you have it in the Myriad Monsters Valley?" Lin Yi replied.
Upon hearing this, the Valley Master paused for a moment and said, "Nine Leaves Grass? I have heard of this Spiritual Medicine. It is said that this was a personal treasure of the first generation Valley Master of Myriad Monsters Valley thousands of years ago, extremely precious, only possessed by the elders of the Myriad Monsters Valley!"
"However, it was discovered a thousand years ago. But, since it was taken by a foreigner, that person never returned."
The Valley Master asked, "What do you need this Spiritual Medicine for? Are you planning to refine some Elixir?"
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "It's not for me to refine the Elixir, but my master needs it to save his life, so I want the Valley Master to help me find the Nine Leaves Grass!"
Lin Yi's master was none other than his father, Lin Hao!
The breakthrough Lin Yi had was all because of the Cultivation Technique "Myriad Manifestations Tome" passed down by Lin Hao!
Moreover, Lin Yi was a genius among geniuses, just taking three months to break through from the Fifth Rank Martial King to the Fourth Rank.
Unfortunately, Lin Hao's life span was about to be exhausted, which is why he had Lin Yi leave their hometown.
"I'll have someone look into this matter for you! But you should understand, the Nine Leaves Grass is a treasured item of the Myriad Monsters Valley, and ordinary people can't obtain it! So, getting the Nine Leaves Grass will come at a great cost!" the Valley Master said slowly.
"I understand, as long as it can heal my master's injuries, I am willing to pay any price!" Lin Yi said resolutely, clenching his teeth.
"Don't rush to agree now. Wait till you come back, and I'll consider this matter. If possible, I might take you into our Myriad Monsters Valley, what do you think?" said the Valley Master with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's face showed ecstatic joy.
This was exactly the outcome Lin Yi hoped for.
His master, Lin Hao, was the only family Lin Yi had.
He would not allow anyone to harm Lin Hao, not even his parents.
"Thank you, Valley Master! This time I have returned to hand the Nine Leaves Grass over to my master!"
After saying this, Lin Yi took out a Pill from his chest.
This Pill was the Nine Leaves Grass.
"Good, since you've made your decision, I'll lend you a hand. Go and give the Nine Leaves Grass to your master!" the Valley Master nodded.
"Thank you, Valley Master! I'll lead the way now!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Upon saying that, Lin Yi and the Valley Master both walked down the mountain.
Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.
On a desolate slope, there was a thatched cottage.
The cottage looked shabby and rundown, but the door of the cottage was made from special materials, exceptionally tough, able to withstand a full-force hit from a Martial Artist.
Lin Yi approached the front of the cottage and pressed his hand on the door.
A buzzing sound was heard, and the door of the cottage slowly opened.
Lin Yi and the Valley Master exchanged glances, both seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.
To their surprise, what seemed like an ordinary door was made of special materials.
"Master, I'm back!" Lin Yi respectfully said.
Inside the cottage, Lin Hao was sitting cross-legged with a pale face, his eyes tightly closed, as though he was in deep sleep.
Lin Yi walked in.
"My disciple, you're finally back! I thought you would stay on the mountain for a long time!"
Lin Hao opened his eyes, glanced at Lin Yi, and then sighed, continuing to speak, "Ah! I know you don't want to burden your master, but I don't want to see you like this! In just under three months, your demeanor has undergone a major change!"
"Master, I had no choice. If I continued to stay on the mountain, it would inevitably affect your healing!" Lin Yi said.
"Hmph! If it weren't for your persistent desire to leave, I would have left long ago! Don't forget the instruction your grandmaster once gave you!" Lin Hao snorted coldly.
Lin Yi felt guilty and lowered his head, remaining silent.
"Forget it! I won't argue about that anymore. I know you mean well, and I won't blame you. I only hope that you will protect yourself well!"
"Yes!"
"Your current strength has already reached the peak of Martial Monarch, and it's unlikely that you'll break through to Martial Sovereign. As for Martial Emperor, you still fall short! If you want to become a Martial Saint, it will probably take even more time, and your temperament needs more tempering."
"Master's teachings are correct!"
"Mm!"
"You've come back this time to refine elixirs, right?"
"Yes, Master!"
"I just so happen to have two Sixth Grade Elixirs here, formed from the essence of my hard work! To show my gratitude for your contributions, I will give them to you!"
As he spoke, the Valley Master flicked his finger, and two pills exuding a faint fragrance flew towards Lin Yi.
The pills were golden yellow, with surfaces flowing with light.
They looked like two golden clouds, shimmering with dazzling brilliance.
"This elixir is called 'Golden Yang Pill'. After taking it, it can enhance your cultivation in a short time without leaving any side effects!"
"However, your body can only endure for about two years! After two years, you will have to recover on your own! This time, I entrust you to go and gather these two 'Golden Yang Pills'!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was overjoyed, repeatedly bowing and saying, "Thank you, Master. I will do my best to fulfill your wish!"
"Alright! Go and take care of it!"
Lin Yi turned and left, returning to the Myriad Demon Valley.
Although Lin Hao was seriously injured, his consciousness was still clear.
Seeing Lin Yi return, Lin Hao opened his eyes.
"Senior brother, why have you come back?"
"Junior brother, your injury hasn't healed yet, why did you come back?"
"Senior brother, your sister has been worried about you for half a year at home. She dreams every night that you are being chased by a group of fierce beasts, eventually being torn apart by them. How could I rest easy leaving you alone here!" Lin Yi said.
"You... Silly child, don't worry! Your master is fine!" Lin Hao smiled.
"This time I came back, I brought two Sixth Grade Elixirs. Take them and consider it a small gift from your master!" Lin Yi said.
"Sixth Grade Elixirs? You actually gathered Sixth Grade Elixirs again? Bring them out, let me see!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up.
Lin Yi nodded and took out the two Sixth Grade Elixirs from his storage ring.
Lin Hao examined them carefully, only to see that the Golden Yang Pills had golden yellow medicinal liquid rolling on their surfaces, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.
"Great stuff!"
"Senior brother, this is..."
"I won't hide it from you, my injuries can only be sustained for two more years. After two years, I must leave the Myriad Demon Valley!"
"What?" Lin Yi's eyes widened.
"The situation with your master this time is much more severe than ever before, even... it has reached the point where the oil is exhausted and the lamp is burnt out. If I can't find a way to detoxify, then your master can only die!"
"How is that possible!" Lin Yi couldn't believe that Lin Hao had reached the point where the oil was exhausted and the lamp burnt out.
"I am not lying to you!"
