It wasn’t until this moment that Lin Huaiyu couldn’t help but exclaim, “I don’t know what kind of fortunate encounter you had, to have achieved the Great Achievement of Marrow Cleansing in just a single day, and even pushed your body to such an extreme depletion.

However, with this bottle of medicinal wine, your body should be able to recover its Yuan Qi and produce the first drop of new blood.”

Her tone was strange, even tinged with an unmistakable trace of envy.

As the third Miss of the Lin Family, before she turned fifteen, she truly was a favored daughter of heaven.

She had both talent and resources in abundance and wasn’t as overlooked by her family as she is now.

Even so, when she faced the challenge of marrow cleansing, she had also spent a full year to step into the first stage of Blood Renewal and produce new blood.

A year compared to a day.

One can only say that there are heavens beyond this heaven, and people beyond these people.

There are always prodigies in the world, unseen does not mean they do not exist.

Lin Huaiyu didn’t drink from the bottle of wine anymore, but quietly filled Zhou Ping’an’s cup to the brim, looking at him curiously as he continued to drink victoriously.

Furrowing her brows and hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, “Originally, I wasn’t planning to talk about this matter with anyone, but since you’re likely to step into the Blood Exchange Realm soon, perhaps there’s a chance for you to take a risk.”

Feeling the resurgent power within him becoming stronger and the marrow in his bones undergoing earth-shattering changes,

Zhou Ping’an realized the potency of the medicinal effect simultaneously.

He also found Lin Huaiyu’s seriousness rather surprising.

The woman before him could definitely be called a heroine among women, with a very strong resolve.

Aside from the time Xiao Jiu almost got kidnapped, he almost never saw her struggle or get angry.

It was hard to see any emotions other than calm on her face.

Clearly, she intended to disclose some very important secrets.

Her voice also became somewhat low…

At this time, as an outstanding graduate of the police academy who had taken psychology courses, he obviously knew that the best thing to do was not to interrupt, but to listen attentively.

“This matter dates back to an old Jianghu story when Medicine King Valley was besieged and destroyed by one sect and three factions, leaving only a few of the elders and disciples to escape into the Jianghu, hiding their names and daring not to reveal their true identities.”

Lin Huaiyu sighed and continued, “You’ve probably guessed it; my alchemy skills come from the secret teachings of the Medicine King Sect.

My mother was one of those disciples who fled the pursuit…

Before she left, she was full of regrets for misjudging people and choosing the wrong path.

She spoke of ‘fate being inescapable, beyond human influence,’ accepting her fate, but I do not accept it.”

“In recent years, my father has lived in seclusion, spending his days hidden in the Heart Inquiry Hall of the Lin Family, and my eldest brother has been handling all family affairs.

Thus, the proposal to marry me off as a concubine to Fang Yu, a True Disciple of the Cloud Water Heavenly Sect’s Floating Cloud Branch, wielding the Cloud-Tailoring Sword, was naturally not his idea either…”

By this point, Lin Huaiyu’s eyes, soft as spring water, finally misted over.

“Do you know?

Last year, that True Disciple of the Floating Cloud Branch, Fang Yu, took his eighth concubine.

The seven concubines before her are all dead.”

Lin Huaiyu’s voice was very cold.

“Therefore, the Third Miss took her followers and left Guangyun to come to Qingyang County.

She wanted to use her alchemy skills to open a Medicine Hall and display her worth…

No, that’s not right.”

At this point, Zhou Ping’an didn’t continue speaking, but pondered deeply.

Based on what he had observed during this period,

he was certain that the woman before him was not of such a nature.

She may appear weak on the outside, but she was incredibly resolute on the inside, preferring to be shattered like jade rather than remain intact as a tile…

If she was truly unwilling to comply with the family’s arrangements and wished to make her father revoke the order, she would certainly have confronted him…

or even, she would have directly fled from the Lin Family, disappeared into obscurity, letting no one find her.

Since she did not do so and instead came to Qingyang County, she undoubtedly had an ulterior motive.

Moreover, once it was done, even the Family Head of the Lin Family, that renowned Lin Zhongyuan hailed as Guangyun’s Number One Blade, could no longer interfere in her destiny.

The answer, there was only one…

“How can I join the Cloud Water Heavenly Sect?”

“Indeed, you guessed it.”

Lin Huaiyu suddenly looked up, her gaze towards Zhou Ping’an brimming with a smile.

“They who know me say I am worried, they who don’t ask what I seek.”

“To join the Cloud Water Heavenly Sect and learn the Canghai Sword Codex, there’s only one way, and that is to accept the bounty.”

She knew that Zhou Ping’an was not very clear about some Jianghu rumors and the secrets of great families, so she did not keep him guessing, “Nowadays, the Cloud Water Heavenly Sect seems to have lived in peace for too long, seldom engaging in battle, and have long since lost the broad-mindedness of welcoming all talents of the past.

Not only is it difficult for common folk of the Jianghu to find a way to enter, but even the descendants of families established by the sect’s officers when they descended the mountain also find it hard to re-enter the sect and become a direct disciple.

Therefore, individuals like Lin Zhengshan and Lin Zhengwu set their sights on the true disciple Fang Yu.

This is actually a transaction, and I am the merchandise.”

Lin Huaiyu’s voice was slightly cold as she continued, “However, to my knowledge, Elder Su Lianxue of the Cloud Water Heavenly Sect once issued a bounty within the sect; if anyone can find the [Seven-Colored Pill] to treat her only son’s injuries, she will promise the spots of her entry disciples…”

“How many spots?”

“Three.”

“Can the main ingredients for the Seven-Colored Pill be found in Black Mountain?”

Zhou Ping’an’s mind raced, and he finally understood why Lin Huaiyu came to establish a base in this small mountain county, Qingyang, and why, despite the risk of facing hostility, she insisted on competing for a share of the medicinal materials in this town.

She had no choice but to compete.

“Correct, the Seven-Colored Pill has a very powerful effect of calming the mind and spirit, most suitable for treating deviations in cultivation; its two main ingredients include the Seven-Colored Tuberose and Sunflame Flower, which happen to grow deep within Black Mountain.

The Sunflame Flower is manageable; although not abundant, it can occasionally be acquired.

The Seven-Colored Tuberose, however, is extremely hard to come by, not because it doesn’t exist in the Black Mountain Range, but because this herb blooms for an extremely short period and preservation is very difficult — it must be processed into a medicinal juice within a single day’s time.

Moreover, the Seven-Colored Tuberose blooms at night, and its petals open and close in a short time.

If that time period is missed, it will wither, and its medicinal effect will be entirely lost.

Even the most adept herbalists may not be lucky enough to come upon it precisely at its bloom time.”

“Therefore, it requires a large number of tireless herbalists to risk the nighttime hazards in Black Mountain in search…” Zhou Ping’an fully grasped the difficulty of this bounty.

Though a great reward will tempt brave men, finding the Seven-Colored Tuberose not only requires numerous hands and concerted efforts, but also a serene environment without disturbances.

In other words, there must be no interference.

Once interfered with, the hunt for the herb would be futile.

No wonder the Elder Su Lianxue of the Cloud Water Sect was driven to the point of secretly issuing a bounty.

Even if she herself were to come to Black Mountain, or any other place where the Seven-Colored Tuberose might be found, she still might not be able to procure this ingredient.

“If I could find the Seven-leaf Tithonia, even just one flower, I can refine two Seven-Colored Pills, certainly securing two spots for direct disciples and obtaining the Canghai Sword Codex, thereby having a hope for True Martial.”

Lin Huaiyu’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhou Ping’an, “Moreover, I heard that in the Cloud Water Sect, there will be a trial in three years.

The winner will be allowed to observe the Sect-Defending Immortal Sutra [Cloud Water Sutra], which is said to offer insight into the Divine Martial.

Brother Zhou, today you have stepped into the Blood Renewal and with the aid of the Yin Yang Harmonization Pill, cultivating the Five Organs Primordial Unity is not beyond reach.

Would you be willing to join hands with me in pursuit of this splendid wealth and honor?”

I have to say.

Lin Huaiyu’s words truly moved Zhou Ping’an.

Following the Nine Refinements of Mortal Martial Arts comes the Nine Levels of True Martial.

After True Martial, comes Divine Martial.

In legend, Divine Martial afforded a glimpse into the laws of the universe; allowing one to destroy mountains and divert rivers, burn cities and boil seas, and it was said to possess various strange and powerful abilities to shatter the void with human strength.

But that’s not the most impressive part.

Crucially, at the Divine Martial Realm, it is said that one can live for a thousand years without dying.

In historical legends of those individuals, we only hear of those who flew beyond the heavens, never of anyone dying of old age.
