Chapter 319 - Saving

When everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they saw a white-robed person approaching. But after taking a closer glimpse of this person, an exclamation came from the surroundings.

“It’s the Heavenly Trigram Peak’s Yun Lan!” He walked over in a lazy demeanor, with his hair loose.

“Yun Lan, don’t meddle in this!” Luo Mingyang frowned. They were both at the pinnacle of the True Core Realm, but Yun Lan was slightly superior in strength.

Only two months were left until the inner disciple assessment, and they would have to wait another year if they couldn’t reach the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

“You’re right. I’m meddling in this matter. I don’t care if you bully disciples of other peaks, but not the disciples of my Heavenly Trigram Peak.” Yun Lan approached Liu Wuxie with a bright smile.

They were both disciples of the Heavenly Trigram Peak. So, it was understandable for Yun Lan to step forward and stand up for him, and no one could say anything about it. Then again, it didn’t seem wise for Yun Lan to offend Luo Mingyang on behalf of someone who had just joined the sect.

“This is between him and me. Please step aside.” The aura released by Luo Mingyang became even stronger, and he was prepared to act against Liu Wuxie at any moment.

However, even after hearing what he said, Yun Lan stood before Liu Wuxie. Luo Mingyang would have to get past Yun Lan to get to Liu Wuxie.

“I witnessed what happened earlier. Junior Brother Liu bought it first, and you tried to snatch it, disregarding your status. So, you’re the one in the wrong here.” Yun Lan didn’t want to offend Luo Mingyang thoroughly either, so his tone was rather polite when he talked to the latter. He hoped that Luo Mingyang would grant him some respect and drop the issue.

But if things became unpleasant, Yun Lan wasn’t afraid either.

“I’m willing to offer double the spirit stones for that jade slip!” Luo Mingyang could tell that Yun Lan was giving him a step-down, and they both had their dignity. Furthermore, it wouldn’t benefit anyone if they carried on their confrontation.

Yun Lan turned to look at Liu Wuxie, seeking his opinion.

“I already made myself clear that I won’t sell it!” Liu Wuxie replied in a resolute tone.

“Brat, you think you can get away with Yun Lan protecting you? I’ll tell you honestly that I have plenty of ways to make you hand it over obediently even if you returned to the Heavenly Trigram Peak.” Luo Mingyang wore a cruel smile.

“I’ll be waiting then!” Liu Wuxie wasn’t afraid at all. There were many people present, and he had reservations about fighting under their watchful eyes. But Liu Wuxie had ten thousand ways to kill him if they were to fight with their lives on the line.

Luo Mingyang left furiously after failing to acquire the jade slip. Before leaving, the youth sent flying by Liu Wuxie made a swiping action on his neck, indicating they wouldn’t let this matter rest so easily.

Only Liu Wuxie and Yun Lan were left behind as the crowd gradually dispersed.

“Thanks for standing up, Senior Brother Yun!” No matter what, Liu Wuxie was grateful that Yun Lan had his back. He might not fear Luo Mingyang, but the fact that someone was willing to stand up for him meant a lot to him, and he would remember it in his heart.

“This is nothing, but I have to say I’m impressed that you managed to reach the fourth-level True Core Realm in a day.” Yun Lan wasn’t particularly concerned and was merely stating a fact.

They chatted briefly before they went their separate ways, with Liu Wuxie carrying on his search for treasures.

Liu Wuxie couldn’t find any more treasures even after the sky turned dark. He bought dozens of herbs before returning to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and the sky had darkened entirely when he returned to his courtyard.

After Zhang Lin and others had left during the day, they had yet to return, and Liu Wuxie was left alone in the quiet courtyard. But he heard someone knocking on the door when he was about to rest.

As Liu Wuxie rose to answer the door, he found two figures waiting outside. One was the youth he had encountered earlier in the marketplace, while the other, dressed in black attire, had a pallid complexion and seemed to be struggling to breathe.

“Liu Wuxie!”

Bai Lin was worth befriending because he could give up everything for his friend. Liu Wuxie had done nothing but offend many people in the past few days, and he was in a much better mood after befriending Bai Lin.

“Junior Brother Liu, you seem unfamiliar, and I don’t think I’ve met you before in the Heavenly Trigram Peak.” The two sat on a stone bench in the courtyard. Bai Lin’s character was originally cheerful, but when he had met Liu Wuxi in the market, he had appeared anxious because his friend’s situation.

Now that his friend was okay, Bai Lin became cheerful again.

“I come from the mundane world and just joined the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion the day before yesterday,” Liu Wuxie said with a bitter smile, not hiding his identity.

“I see...I’m thoroughly impressed by your medical skills.” There wasn’t any contempt in Bai Lin’s eyes, but he was very respectful towards Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie had impressed him with his medical skills. Over the past few days, he had tried many things and even asked other senior brothers for help, but it didn’t have much effect.

As they continued talking, it felt as though they had known each other for a long time. Bai Lin, being older and having joined the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion earlier, was more knowledgeable about the pavilion and the Southern Province than Liu Wuxie.

Most of the time, Liu Wuxie asked questions while Bai Lin answered. He explained everything in detail about whatever question Liu Wuxie had and even emphasized several parts for Liu Wuxie to pay more attention to in the future.

Take the Earth Force Peak, for example. The disciples of the Earth Force Peak were known to be overbearing.

With Zhang Lin’s group of three gone, many houses were vacant, so Bai Lin stayed for the night in case his friend woke up while he wasn’t around. Bai Lin returned to his friend’s room and carried him to the room beside him.

Sitting with his legs crossed, Liu Wuxie took out the jade slip he had obtained in the afternoon and finally got the time to look at it.

When he gently opened it, the words on the jade slip were blurred and unclear. The jade slip looked ordinary from the outside, and no one would bother picking it up if it were thrown into the garbage.

When Liu Wuxie tried to penetrate the jade slip with his divine sense, it wasn’t very effective as there seemed to be a restriction on it that prevented his divine sense from entering. But he couldn’t smash the jade slip apart, which was troublesome.

With no choice, Liu Wuxie could only execute Ghost Eye to penetrate the jade slip. The faint spiritual energy appeared once more as the Ghost Eye passed through an endless dark world as though the jade slip had formed its own world inside.

Because the surroundings were dark, Liu Wuxie didn’t know where this place was.

“Where is this place?” Liu Wuxie muttered to himself. This dark world looked massive, and he continued to penetrate with the Ghost Eye, wanting to reach the end of this world.

A white dot suddenly appeared in the darkness and looked conspicuous. Shortly after, more white dots began to appear and illuminated the darkness.

This revelation shocked Liu Wuxie, leaving him speechless. As he had suspected, the jade slip contained a vast secret. Inside the jade slip was a formed space, something only someone in the True Profound Realm could achieve.

However, considering the large space inside such a tiny jade slip, could someone in the True Profound Realm have left this behind?

If that was the case, Liu Wuxie was about to make a fortune because regardless of the secrets hidden inside this jade slip, it must be invaluable since someone in the True Profound Realm had left it behind.

The white dots began connecting, forming profound pictures that shocked Liu Wuxie even more.

“T-This is...” Liu Wuxie was so excited that he began waving his hands and nearly jumped off the bed.
