Chapter 353 (2/2)

Lin Xuanzhi happily informed him, “The clothes on Ah Gu, the shoes on his feet, the hairpins on his head, and the magic tools keeping away his evil aura are all money. Moreover, I recently planned to find a way to forge a red ta.s.seled spear for Ah Gu but I haven’t found a satisfactory material for the weapon yet. At that time, won’t it be another sum of money?”

Yan Tianhen, “…”

………….

After returning home, Yan Tianhen put the six pairs of gra.s.s-swallowing worms into Lin Xuanzhi’s s.p.a.ce. At the same time, he also bought many seeds and seedlings of spiritual herbs and planted them in the dimension s.p.a.ce.

Of course, most of the spiritual herbs planted were the ones he extracted from Huai Yu’s spiritual herb fields.

At first, Yan Tianhen felt guilty for being secretive. He then thought that when the spiritual herbs grew, he would plant the original seedlings back into Broken Sword Peak’s spiritual herb fields. However, as time went on, Yan Tianhen became a skilled worker, and when he saw any spiritual plants that he liked, he would stuff them into the soul plate.

A few days later, on a rainy day that showered the sky and ground, the long-lost Esteemed Huai Yu finally came back while braving the rain.

He returned on his sword and was drenched from head to toe, which was absolutely impossible for a cultivator who was at least at the peak of Profound Realm!

At that time, Yan Tianhen was meditating and practicing alchemy in the bamboo house. The storm outside did not bring him any influence. On the contrary, when Esteemed Huai Yu suddenly appeared, even if he had not seen himself, Yan Tianhen’s heart jerked, causing him to waste his entire furnace’s worth of pills.

Yan Tianhen quickly stood up and opened the bamboo door to walk out. At a glance, he saw Esteemed Huai Yu standing outside in a daze and he gawked at the sight of him soaked in the rain.

Yan Tianhen got a fright and rushed into the rain to pull Esteemed Huai Yu away, “Master, what are you doing? Come in and take shelter quickly!”

Esteemed Huai Yu wiped his face and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Yan Tianhen with bewilderment. He opened his mouth, then suddenly collapsed in Yan Tianhen’s arms.

Yan Tianhen hurriedly held Esteemed Huai Yu’s body but he was extremely anxious.

After placing Esteemed Huai Yu on the bed, Yan Tianhen first examined Esteemed Huai Yu’s pulse and found that the spiritual Qi in his body was running around wantonly as if they were going to burst out of his body immediately. Suddenly, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Yan Tianhen’s fingers shook as he opened the storage bag and took out the bottle of medicine that Lin Zhan left him. He also gave the last white jade-colored pill to Esteemed Huai Yu. Yan Tianhen looked at the rain outside, then began running down the mountain.

He didn’t know what had happened to Esteemed Huai Yu, but he knew that he couldn’t handle the situation himself.

On Sinking Sword Peak, it was fortunate that Esteemed Lan Yue and Lin Xuanzhi were there. Upon hearing what happened, the two men hurried along with Yan Tianhen.

Esteemed Lan Yue approached the bed, reached out, and checked Esteemed Huai Yu’s pulse. Esteemed Lan Yue’s clear and elegant face suddenly looked worse.

“I’m going to heal him,” Esteemed Lan Yue spoke in a low voice. “You two, go outside and protect the area. No matter what happens, you must not come in.”

Lin Xuanzhi took Yan Tianhen’s hand and nodded. “I understand.”

The two of them went out of the bamboo house together and sat under the wide eaves, looking at the pouring rain outside.

Yan Tianhen was nestled in Lin Xuanzhi’s arms. Although Lin Xuanzhi used a magic tool to get rid of the rainwater on Yan Tianhen, Yan Tianhen still felt cold.

“Dage, I was really shocked by Master just now.” Yan Tianhen rubbed his arms and spoke with lingering fear, “He didn’t say anything. He just stood there like he had lost his soul. As soon as I reached him, he pa.s.sed out. His face looked like a corpse. If he hadn’t breathed, I would have thought he was dead.”

Lin Xuanzhi stretched his arms and tightened his hold on Yan Tianhen. He soothed him with a gentle voice, “Your master will be fine. He has gone out for so many days; we don’t know what he has experienced.”

Yan Tianhen asked in confusion, “Dage, didn’t you say before that there is basically no one in the Five Continents who could beat my master? How could this happen?”

Lin Xuanzhi frowned slightly, “In principle, no one should be his opponent.”

Yan Tianhen took a deep breath and closed his eyes, “I was really afraid of something happening to Master.”

Although Lin Zhan didn’t die, the scene of his escape had also left a strong psychological shadow on Yan Tianhen, leaving him scarred when he remembered it.

Lin Xuanzhi patted Yan Tianhen on the shoulder, “It will be alright.”

Yan Tianhen stared at the curtain of rain and remained silent.
