Chapter 994: The Unlucky Guy

He looked shocked and took a step back.

Looking at Yunxiu in disbelief, he asked, "Senior... is what you said true?"

"Over the years, it's not that my cultivation methods have been flawed, but rather because of you, senior..."

"It's my fault, it's all my fault."

Yunxiu nodded quickly and said urgently, "Young friend, I know this is hard for you to accept, but I have no intention of harming you."

"Now that my remnant soul has stabilized, I no longer need to absorb your cultivation. On the contrary, I can make up for your losses over the years."

"If you need anything, just tell me, and I'll definitely help you!"

Jiang Yantian nodded: "Okay, then blanch it for me..."

"?"

Yunxiu paused. What did she just hear?

You must have heard it wrong!

What do you mean, "a quick time"?

"Young friend, what did you say?"

Jiang Yantian shook his head: "I didn't say anything, but how are you going to make it up to me?"

Yunxiu didn't dwell on what had just happened and simply waved her hand.

A pale blue halo emerged from her fingertips.

It landed in front of Jiang Yantian.

It transformed into a crystal-clear elixir.

The pill emitted a rich fluctuation of spiritual energy.

It is clearly a healing and spirit-replenishing pill of extremely high quality.

"This is a Mind-Concentrating Pill, which can help stabilize your dantian and repair your damaged spiritual foundation!"

"It can also increase your cultivation speed."

"Besides, this ring space also contains many cultivation resources that I used to collect, including spiritual springs, medicinal herbs, and cultivation manuals!"

"I can give you everything to help you rebuild your skills. I'm sure it will allow you to regain your former level as soon as possible, or even reach a higher level."

Jiang Yantian looked at the Mind-Concentrating Pill.

He really doesn't have this thing; it's just too rubbish.

What good are third-grade pills?

He used all his ninth-grade elixirs to feed his pets.

But I'll keep acting until the very end.

Jiang Yantian did not take it immediately, but instead looked hesitant.

He said softly, "Senior, this matter... this matter is too sudden, and I find it difficult to accept for the time being."

Seeing this, Yunxiu felt even more guilty.

"I understand how you feel. I owe you so much over the years."

"If you are unwilling to forgive me, I have nothing to say, but please accept these compensations."

"After all, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to suffer like this."

She paused, then added, "Besides that, I can also guide your cultivation."

"I was once a great immortal, and I have considerable experience in cultivation. With my guidance, you will be able to achieve great things!"

"You will definitely be able to avoid many detours in your future cultivation, and your breakthroughs will be much smoother."

A divine being?

For Xiao Xu, receiving guidance from a great immortal would indeed be an incredible stroke of luck.

But Jiang Yantian doesn't need guidance; he only needs it for the future.

Jiang Yantian's face showed a hint of emotion: "Senior... Senior is truly willing to guide me?"

Seeing that he was relenting, Yunxiu's eyes revealed a hint of joy.

He nodded quickly: "Of course I'm willing. I'm willing to do anything to make it up to you."

"Young friend, please accept this Mind-Concentrating Pill first, and then take it and regulate your breathing!"

"I'll take you to see the resources in this space and help you choose a cultivation technique that suits you."

Jiang Yantian slowly raised his hand and accepted the Mind-Concentrating Pill.

He swallowed the elixir.

His tone was still somewhat reserved: "I still have one question. Since you are such a powerful being, why were you trapped in this storage ring?"

"Who was the one who plotted against our senior back then?"

Upon hearing this, the joy on Yunxiu's face vanished instantly.

Instead, a deep sense of sorrow and hatred pervaded the air.

The soul trembled slightly.

"It's a long story!"

"Then let's get to the point..." Jiang Yantian said.

Yunxiu paused, "Blanching? That's a bit impolite!"

But she still said, "I was born in ancient times, and at the age of twenty, I encountered the number one demon in the world, the Undying Demon Emperor, who was choosing a consort!"

"His men went to various powerful forces to find stunningly beautiful women for him."

"At that time, the guardians under the Undying Demon Emperor were particularly powerful. The guardian named 'Illusion Heart' found me."

She said I was a good fit and then took me to the Demon Realm, an ancient forbidden zone.

Jiang Yantian was speechless. How did this have to do with him again? So pretty!

"And then you were taken away? Did you die from the plants?"

Yunxiu glared at her beautiful eyes: "Nonsense! I swear I will die rather than go with her!"

"And then, she killed you?" Jiang Yantian asked again.

"No, she let me go..."

"?"

"Let go?"

Yunxiu nodded: "She said, 'If you didn't want to say so earlier, why the hell did you nod when I was choosing people!'"

"It wasn't that I nodded, but something fell onto my neck, and I stretched my neck a couple of times."

"..."

"From that moment on, I knew that I should take control of my own destiny."

"If it weren't for that Dharma Protector's reasoning, I would have become the Undying Demon Emperor's plaything!"

Yunxiu's expression turned serious: "From then on, I worked hard and cultivated diligently."

"Achieving the realm of a Great Immortal in just a thousand years!"

"If you're such a genius, how did you die?" Jiang Yantian was speechless.

At this point, Yunxiu herself was speechless.

"I... I emerged from seclusion just in time for the war that would destroy the world, and I just went over to take a look."

"A wisp of energy from the Undying Demon Emperor swept past me, obliterating my soul and spirit!"

"I used my last bit of strength to entrust my remnant soul to this storage ring!"

"Completely asleep."

Her voice was choked with sobs and filled with frustration.

Jiang Yantian was speechless.

Damn it, this isn't just pure bad luck.

A resolute glint flashed in Yunxiu's eyes: "Over the years, I've thought day and night, if I had become his concubine, I wouldn't have had to suffer so much!"

"Of course, I also want to take revenge, but my remnant soul is damaged and I am powerless to do so."

"Times have changed, and the Undying Demon Emperor is long gone!"

Looking at her sorrowful appearance, Jiang Yantian really didn't know what to say.

If he was framed, that's fine.

He had seen far too many cases of the survival of the fittest in the cultivation world.

Dying like this is truly humiliating.

This is like finally succeeding in starting a business, only to lose the person.

"Then do you still want to kill the Undying Demon Emperor?" Jiang Yantian asked.

Yunxiu's beautiful eyes narrowed: "Yes, of course I want to, but..."

"Just what?"

Yunxiu said with a slight embarrassment, "I don't know what he looks like, and even if I met him, I couldn't beat him."

Yan Tian comforted her softly, his tone calm and even.

"I believe that one day you will be able to regain your strength and drain the Undying Demon Emperor dry."

Yunxiu looked up at him, a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"I know this road will be difficult, but I will never give up!"

“Young friend, if you are willing to help me rebuild my soul as soon as possible, I will impart all the knowledge I have learned in my life to you.”

Jiang Yantian nodded: "Now I can rebuild your soul!"

"However, you must keep your word. After you reforge, you must drain the Undying Demon Emperor dry!"

"You don't need to comfort me!" Yunxiu couldn't possibly believe it.

"But it's enough that you have the intention!"

After saying that, she pointed into the distance: "I'll take you to see the spiritual spring inside the space!"

"The water from that spiritual spring can cleanse your marrow and strengthen your bones, greatly benefiting your future cultivation!"

"Go to the Spirit Spring? Sure, let's get a good wash!" Jiang Yantian smiled.
