Chapter 344 The oriole is behind
Wei Yunqing calmly returned the greeting, then headed to the place where she accepted missions, randomly selected a mission, and left the Inner Sect Mission Hall.

"Heh! You've got your eye on that kid, too bad he doesn't like you!"

The evil spirit, which had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, which made Wei Yunqing's heart skip a beat. She continued walking towards the outside of the sect without responding to the other party.

Seeing that Yun Qing ignored him, the evil spirit continued:

"I must admit you have a good eye. The other party is a promising sword cultivator, and he has a single metal-type spiritual root, which is very compatible with your water and wood spiritual roots. Would you like to make him your devoted follower?"

"Shut up!"

Wei Yunqing, unable to bear it any longer, retorted, then added two more seals to the corner of the sea of ​​consciousness that was sealing the evil soul before flashing out of the sect.

Wei Yunqing was unaware that shortly after she left, another figure followed her out of the Haoran Sect.

Yunxi was unaware that Wei Yunqing had been possessed by an evil spirit. Even in this predicament, the evil spirit was still plotting against her. If she knew the evil spirit's plans, she would definitely beg her master to get rid of Wei Yunqing now.

Since regaining consciousness, she has taken the high-grade bone-repairing pills that her master found for her, and all the bones in her body have been set back. However, the newly set bones are still somewhat fragile, and she cannot refine her body for the time being.

She began to circulate her cultivation technique to repair the meridians in her body. Because her dantian had a hole and could not store spiritual energy, she absorbed spiritual energy while using her divine sense to guide it to repair the meridians. Then she sent the meager amount of spiritual energy into the little nascent soul's body.

The little nascent soul also noticed Yunxi's predicament. It tried its best to use its small body to block the hole in her dantian, absorbing the meager spiritual energy into her body. Then it took turns holding the shrunken Seven Star Deadly Staff, Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, and Frost Profound Ice Needle in its arms to nurture them. Although it was a drop in the ocean, it was better than nothing.

Half a year passed in this way. One evening, when Yunxi was using the power of moonlight to nourish her meridians, a figure suddenly appeared in her courtyard.

Yunxi suddenly opened her eyes and darted out of the room.

Ever since she heard what Venerable Haoyi said, she had been on high alert at all times, and her divine sense had hardly ever been withdrawn. So she noticed the other party the moment he appeared on her territory.

"Senior, what brings you here so late at night?"

Yunxi spoke rather politely.

The other person stood with his back to the moon; judging from his figure, he was a male cultivator. He spoke coldly:

"You are Wei Yunxi?"

"Yes."

"Give me the antidote for 'Flower Face'."

The other party was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. Perhaps feeling confident, they stated their requirements directly.

Yunxi immediately realized that this person was the suspect that Venerable Haoyi had mentioned but was not certain about, so she gave him a dose of "Flower Face".

However, Yunxi replied calmly:
"Senior, this is a poison concocted by the Immortal Physician Sect. There is no antidote unless you give up your current physical body."

"When 'Hua Yan' appeared in the world, you weren't even born yet. Didn't I know whether there was an antidote or not?"

Yunxi, the bachelor, shrugged and said:

"Senior, as you said, I wasn't even born when Hua Yan appeared in the world. Although I inherited the Medical Immortal Sect, it doesn't mean I can refine the antidote."

"I say there's no solution, not only because I don't know how to refine it, but also because the spiritual plants needed to refine the antidote have become extinct in the Weiyu Realm."

"Hmph! Whether it's truly unsolvable or not, a soul search will tell."

After saying that, he raised his hand and pulled Yunxi into his palm.

Yunxi felt a herd of alpacas gallop past her, and she shouted:
"Master, help!"

The next instant, a flurry of snowflakes fell from the sky, instantly obscuring Yunxi's figure. Then she saw a chilling aura spread through her courtyard, freezing the feet of the uninvited guest.

Just as Yunxi was feeling fortunate that her master had saved the day, a familiar female voice came from beside her:

"I thought you wouldn't ask for help, but I didn't expect that your cries for help were heard throughout the entire Lingxue Peak."

Yunxi knew who was standing next to her without turning her head. After wiping her face, she bowed respectfully.

"Yunxi greets Venerable Haoyi."

"No need to be polite."

Haoyi waved his hand casually. Although Yunxi was rescued, she was still full of questions. Now that she was temporarily safe, she asked her question:

"Your Excellency, the entire sect knows that I am the successor of the Immortal Physician Sect. Why doesn't he come openly to ask for the antidote? Why does he have to come secretly in the middle of the night? Is he afraid of arousing suspicion?"

"His appearance here in this way is precisely to divert your master's attention and pave the way for someone else's actions. You don't actually think he's here for the antidote to 'Hua Yan,' do you?"

"Huh? Another person? If it's not for the antidote to Hua Yan, then what is it for?"

Yunxi had three question marks hanging on her forehead.

"They're after your soul."

“Soul search? Although I have received the ‘Medical Poison’ inheritance from the Medical Immortal Sect, I have not yet researched the ‘Flower Face’ antidote. Even if I search the soul, I will not get anything.”

Haoyi reminded him:

"You should still remember the formula for another medicine."

Yunxi's eyes flickered, and she whispered:
"A potion of concealment!"

But then, upon further reflection, he frowned and said:

"Why would he step into such an obvious trap?"

Haoyi smiled slightly and said:

"Because they were certain they could take you down, and also because they didn't know that the real master had emerged from seclusion."

Before Yunxi could understand what it meant, a figure silently disappeared into her shadow in the moonlight.

Just as Yunxi realized something was wrong, she felt a blur before her eyes and then she was back in her little house.

Two muffled groans sounded outside, then disappeared, and her courtyard returned to peace.

Yunxi tentatively asked:

"Master, Master? Are you there?"

A moment later, Yu Ling's somewhat deep voice came:

"Your master is here; you may come out now."

Yunxi confirmed through the array that it was her master before leaving the house.

"Master, has that person been captured?"

Yu Ling nodded and said:
"Ancestor Haoyi killed one person and took away another seriously injured person."

"The ancestor is mighty!"

"They are working together, one in the open and one in the shadows, not only to search your soul, but also to kidnap you directly."

Yunxi frowned and asked:

"Are they all cultivators from the Haoran Sect?"

"The one who was killed by Ancestor Haoyi was that rogue cultivator."

Yunxi said with a hint of helplessness:
"Master, it seems I'm in high demand now. Why didn't these people make a move when I was unconscious?"

Yu Ling returned her natal sword to her dantian and explained calmly:

“At that time, I was by your side, and Venerable Haoqing also returned. It would be a bit unreasonable if the two Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t keep an eye on you. Besides, they wouldn’t dare to make any rash moves within the sect.”

"It seems that 'Hua Yan' gave them an excuse to attack the disciples. Even if they failed, they could claim that I, the inheritor of the Medical Immortal Sect, had ulterior motives and spread poison within the sect, which is why they went to investigate at night."

Yunxi felt that this must be the script that Ancestor Haoyi had arranged for them.

 See you tomorrow, kids!
