Chapter 96: Yan Qianyins Motive (2/2)

Mo Wuji shook his head and did not offer an explanation; he only asked, “Senior apprentice sister Yan, is there any way to help her?”

It wasn't that he did not believe in Yan Qianyin; even if he trusted Yan Qianyin, she would not have any ways to help him seek revenge. However, if this information were to leak out, it would only lead to death. Furthermore, this sort of vengeance required Mo Wuji to personally seek it.

Yan Qianyin sunk into her thoughts for a good while, before muttering, “Maybe my grandmaster has a way…”

Thereafter, she shook head. Even her master might not be able to find her grandmaster, much less Yan Qianyin herself.

Mo Wuji also went silent; he had heard Yan Qianyin mention about her grandmaster before, this was akin to seeing flowers through a mist.

“Oh right, there's someone else who can save her…”

“Who is it?” Without waiting for Yan Qianyin to finish, Mo Wuji anxiously interrupted her words.

“Heaven Seeking Palace's Granny Linglong. Some say that she's infinitely close to being a Heavenly Pill Refiner. However, my master once told me that Granny Linglong is actually the sole Heavenly Pill Refiner from the Lost Continent,” Yan Qianyin said with strong emotions; ostensibly, she was genuinely trying to help Mo Wuji find a solution.

“Lost Continent?” Mo Wuji did hear about the Heaven Seeking Palace before; it was the place where the Seventh Sword Summit Lord, Ju Qijian, went off too. However, he had never heard of the Lost Continent before.

Yan Qianyin explained, “Actually our five empires are collectively called the Lost Continent. The reason for this name is because our land has been abandoned by the heavenly laws, and our experts have never been able to advance past the First Heaven of the Heaven Realm. That's why countless experts want to leave this Lost Continent and enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain, so that they can attain higher realms.”

Mo Wuji clenched his fists tightly, he definitely needed to find Granny Linglong to help him. With his current improvement pace, how long would it take for him to be able to cure Yan'Er? What if even after ten years, he still wasn't able to save Yan'Er?

Yan Qianyin seemed to read Mo Wuji's mind as she said hesitantly, “Junior apprentice brother Mo, even though Granny Linglong might be able to cure her, she might not necessarily help you. Even the experts from the Heaven Seeking Palace might not able to get Granny Linglong to help concoct pills for them. Furthermore, if I'm not wrong, Yan'Er would not live for more than another three years.”

“What?” Mo Wuji stood up agitatedly. Even though he was a Tier 2 pill refiner, he could not determine Yan'Er's remaining life span.

If Yan Qianyin wasn't lying to him, then Shen Lian must have been the one who lied to him. Perhaps Shen Lian wanted to comfort him so that he would not be overly anxious, but her words nearly killed Yan'Er. If he knew that Yan’Er only had less than three years left, how could he cultivate and progress at some a stable and gradual pace?

“She really only has three years left. Let's take a step back and talk. Even if you go to the Heaven Seeking Palace and get to meet Granny Linglong, and I guess that there’s a 99% chance that you wouldn't even be able to see her, it would still be a wasted effort. In reality, travelling at your current speed from the Formless Blade Sect to the Heaven Seeking Palace will take two to three years. And that's if you don't meet with any delays.”

Yan Qianyin's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Mo Wuji's head. Mo Wuji's hands and feet were icy cold, he was completely clueless on what he could do.

No one could understand the place Yan'Er had in his heart. After being plotted against by Xia Ruoyin, Mo Wuji came into this world with nothing at all. Yan'Er was willing to exchange her life for his, placing this young master above everything else, allowing him to feel the feelings of affection between human beings. He had never felt that before, and now that he did, he knew that he had to cherish it.

“Actually there's another way: the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition which will take place half a year from now. When the Five Elements Desolate Domain opens, Granny Linglong would definitely personally enter to gather spiritual herbs. Maybe you might have a chance to see Granny Linglong.” Seeing Mo Wuji's listless expression, Yan Qianyin tried to console him.

Mo Wuji suddenly pulled out two rolls of thin silk and passed them to Yan Qianyin before bowing to her, “Senior apprentice sister Yan, these two silk pieces contain the secrets of the Fallen Tune Sword. I would like to request senior apprentice sister Yan for something.”
