A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

"Watching?"

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then looked at him with a strange expression.

Then, Ye Yun offered an explanation.

"To be precise, I have never seen the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill, so I am quite curious."

"I want to see what it would be like to be resurrected using this Rejuvenation Pill."

As one of the most mysterious of the ninth-grade pills, Ye Yun was quite curious about it.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, seemingly considering the pros and cons.

After a while, she nodded slightly.

"Alright, then follow me, fellow Daoist."

Based on our interactions so far, this Senior Nangong in front of me, even if he's not a good person, isn't a bad one either.

Furthermore, if it really was the other party who refined the Rejuvenation Pill, they could lend a hand should anything go wrong.

Taking all this into account, she ultimately agreed to the suggestion of watching.

Afterwards, Bai Zhi led Ye Yun out of the room.

They walked directly to the end of the corridor, and after turning several corners, they suddenly arrived at a hidden door.

Bai Zhi made a hand seal, which slowly opened the hidden door, revealing a staircase leading underground.

Looking at the deep corridor in front of him, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow.

"President Bai, you've really kept your sister a secret."

"That's natural."

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and glanced at Ye Yun.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, let's go."

Ye Yun followed closely behind Bai Zhi, heading deeper into the staircase.

Soon after, they reached the very bottom.

What comes into view is a spacious underground space.

On the surface of the entire underground space, one can see many arrays of varying sizes, nested together.

All the formations together form a huge formation system.

At the heart of all these formations lies a jade bed located in the center of the underground space.

On that jade bed, one could vaguely see a petite figure lying quietly.

With the convergence of numerous formations, a golden light, like a sphere of light, continuously enveloped the jade bed.

Ye Yun could sense that the inside and outside of this sphere of light were completely isolated from each other, as if they were two different worlds!

After observing for a while, Ye Yun nodded approvingly.

"Indeed, a truly profound formation."

In his mind, Nangong Jiutian also rarely praised it.

"This soul-locking and corpse-guarding formation is quite ingeniously set up."

"It seems there are some quite powerful array masters in the Northern Continent."

The ability to nest so many formations within such a small space is definitely proof of profound skill!

Hearing her story, Ye Yun asked curiously.

"A Soul-Locking Corpse-Guarding Array? What's the use of this array?"

He found the name of this formation completely unfamiliar; he had never even heard of it before.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian explained calmly.

"The function of this formation is to seal the three souls and seven spirits of a person who dies in a short period of time."

"And it greatly slows down the decay of the body, allowing it to last up to three months."

"Many people who want to resurrect the dead will set up this kind of formation; it is a special type of formation."

In terms of its uses alone, the formation's function is undoubtedly quite limited.

But in terms of effectiveness, this formation is truly remarkable.

"I see, I understand now."

Ye Yun nodded.

While talking with Nangong Jiutian, they arrived at the jade bed.

"Fellow Daoist, this is my younger sister, named Bai Ruoruo."

Upon approaching, Bai Zhi introduced herself to the person.

At this moment, Ye Yun was able to clearly see the beautiful figure lying on the jade bed.

This was a beautiful female cultivator, slightly smaller than Bai Zhi, wearing a tattered, blood-stained long dress.

It is evident that Bai Zhi did not even have time to change the other person's clothes after she was on the verge of death.

She lay quietly on the jade bed, her skin as white as snow, but stained with blood.

You'd think Bai Ruoruo was just asleep.

In reality, however, there was no trace of life in her.

One could vaguely sense several serious injuries on his body, which exuded a cold and fierce aura.

As for the other party's cultivation level, it seems to be at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even a body at the Foundation Establishment stage would find it difficult to recover from this level of injury.

"This injury... is quite serious."

Hearing his surprise, Bai Zhi sighed.

"Yes, when I saw her, she was already in a state of certain death."

"I had no choice but to hastily find a friend who knows about formations and ask him to help me build this large formation here."

"Fortunately... we've gained three months."

Ye Yun glanced at Bai Zhi, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

"By the way, how did she get injured?"

Ye Yun had only asked the question casually, purely out of curiosity.

However, Bai Zhi's answer surprised him a bit.

She shook her head and sighed softly.

"This... I don't know either."

"Huh? You don't know either?"

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.

Then, Bai Zhi sighed and explained it to him.

"That was a while ago. My younger sister was supposed to be traveling, but she suddenly came back one day."

"She was seriously injured at the time and fainted after returning. I tried my best to treat her injuries, but it was no use."

"So even now, I still don't know who hurt her so badly."

As she finished speaking, a cold glint and murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Clearly, if she finds out who did it, she will definitely retaliate severely.

In fact, if she hadn't been busy searching for the Rejuvenation Pill, she would have already gone to investigate.

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully.

"I see."

Then it makes sense that she got injured for some unknown reason.

The image of Nangong Jiutian in his mind suddenly spoke.

"Boy, why do I feel that the injuries on these surfaces have a familiar feel to them?"

"Hmm? A familiar scent?"

Ye Yun's brows twitched slightly, and he immediately pressed for an answer.

"Where have we met before, senior?"

At this moment, Nangong Jiutian pondered for a long time, and then seemed to remember something.

"That's right, it was on Fei Qingluo back then."

"On Fei Qingluo's body?"

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.

I've only seen Fei Qingluo injured twice in total.

One of these incidents occurred when Fei Qingluo was injured by a Dao Realm expert from the Nine Netherworld Holy Land before she had broken through to the Imperial Dao Realm.

Another time was when he was following Wu Xian and the others and ended up being captured and taken to Fengbo City.

"Senior Nangong, do you mean... the Nine Netherworld Holy Land or the Ascension Sect?"

Nangong Jiutian replied without hesitation.

"It's the Ascension Sect, it seems to be the work of that vice leader."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's expression changed slightly.

"really?"

Nangong Jiutian was quite meticulous in this matter.

"I can't guarantee that, but I can say it's very similar."

In Ye Yun's opinion, the fact that she said that meant it was probably true.

The problem is, how could Bai Ruoruo have been injured so severely by that vice sect leader?

At that moment, Bai Zhi's voice came from beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, what's wrong?"

Seemingly noticing that Ye Yun was lost in thought, she couldn't help but ask a question.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun snapped out of his reverie and shook his head slightly.

"It's nothing, I just thought about some things."

He wasn't in a hurry to tell the other party everything he knew right now.

Anyway, once we help Bai Ruoruo revive, we'll be able to learn the whole truth from her.

That way, I don't have to explain it myself anymore.

He immediately looked at Bai Zhi and said.

"President Bai, you should save the people first. I will protect you here."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately bowed.

"Alright, thank you, Fellow Daoist Nangong!"

She had indeed considered having the other party protect her.

I just didn't dare to bring it up because I couldn't offer any benefits that would interest the other party.

I never expected that the other party would bring it up on their own initiative.

After that, Ye Yun went to wait nearby, his gaze fixed on the jade bed.

At this moment, Bai Zhi had already come to the bedside.

She neatly arranged the jade boxes one by one on the jade bed.

Then, with a flick of his finger, all the jade boxes opened, revealing more than a dozen pills inside.

In an instant, the entire underground space was filled with an extremely rich fragrance of cinnamon!

"This day has finally arrived!"

Bai Zhi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her nervousness.

She had been looking forward to this moment day and night for a long time!

"Alright, get ready to begin!"

She glanced at Ye Yun and offered a reminder.

After that, Bai Zhi focused all her attention on her younger sister on the jade bed.

She reached out and stopped all the nearby formations, causing the golden light enveloping Bai Ruoruo to dissipate.

With the Soul-Locking Corpse-Guarding Array canceled, the next step is to complete everything as quickly as possible!

Immediately, Bai Zhi picked up the Fuyang Pill and carefully placed it into Bai Ruoruo's mouth.

Since the other party is already dead and cannot digest the medicinal effects on their own, Angelica dahurica is needed to help introduce the medicinal effects of the Rejuvenating Pill.

Ye Yun, who was nearby, watched this scene quietly, still quite curious.

"If the dead were to come back to life, who knows what it would be like?"

Just as he was pondering, he saw a crimson aura surrounding Bai Ruoruo.

Seeing this, Ye Yun's eyes lit up.

"They're here!"

From his divine sense, Bai Ruoruo's lifeless body began to recover rapidly.

The chest, which had been still, gradually began to rise and fall again, just like a heartbeat, and breathing returned.

However, along with the restoration of her vitality, the injuries on her body also recovered.

This is also the biggest drawback of the Rejuvenation Pill: while reviving the target, the injuries on their body will also be restored.

The intense pain from her injuries caused Bai Ruoruo to furrow her brows, break out in a cold sweat, and groan softly in pain.

"It's okay, it'll be over soon!"

Seeing her younger sister come back to life, but in such pain, Bai Zhi didn't even dare to feel happy.

Although she is alive now, her vitality is entirely sustained by the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill.

Once the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill wore off after a short while, she died completely.

Therefore, Bai Zhi did not hesitate and immediately fed the remaining healing pills to him in batches.

At the same time, she continuously helped him digest the effects of the medicine...

The whole process was quite lengthy, and he fed her more than ten pills of grade seven or eight.

Fortunately, the outcome was optimistic. As she swallowed one pill after another, Bai Ruoruo's injuries began to heal rapidly!

Especially the three pills that Ye Yun gave her; after taking them, Bai Ruoruo's condition immediately improved significantly.

At this moment, the medicinal power of the Rejuvenating Pill is being rapidly depleted.

Meanwhile, his fatal wounds were rapidly healing one after another.

Half an hour later, the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill wore off, and the surrounding crimson aura completely dissipated.

On the jade bed, Bai Ruoruo's chest was still rising and falling. Although she was weak, she was at least breathing again!

"It's done!"

Seeing this, Ye Yun and Bai Zhi were overjoyed.

The latter is because the younger sister survived!

The former is because you can ask the other party about the cause of the injury!

Just then, Bai Ruoruo on the jade bed slowly opened her eyes.

"What... what's wrong with me?"

Her eyes were filled with confusion as she looked around.

The feeling was like waking up after a long nap.

"Ruoruo!"

Upon seeing her awake, Bai Zhi could not hide the excitement on her face.

"Great, you're finally awake!"

Seeing her sister beside her, who was tearful and extremely agitated, Bai Ruoruo looked puzzled.

"Sister? What are you doing here? What am I doing...?"

As she was speaking, she suddenly seemed to remember something and instinctively covered her forehead.

She was speaking in a daze.

"No, I... I think I'm dead."

Seeing this, Bai Zhi quickly asked with concern.

"Ruoruo, are you alright?!"

In modern Chinese history, there are very few descriptions of Fuyang Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine).

Even if someone uses it, it won't be recorded.

So even she only knew that the Rejuvenation Pill could bring the dead back to life.

However, whether there are any side effects or other problems is unclear; we can only find out on-site.

"I'm fine, I just have a bit of a headache."

Bai Ruoruo shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed.

"I remember I should be dead."

According to her recollection, she had burned her life essence to desperately escape before she died.

And after arriving in Wanmeng City and the Association, he lost consciousness.

Given his injuries and weakened state at the time, he was probably going to die.

"Yes, you are indeed dead."

Bai Zhi replied directly.

This startled Bai Ruoruo, who quickly looked at her and asked.

"Huh? So, you died too, sister? Are we in the afterlife?"

She froze, her face turning deathly pale.

It is clear that compared to her older sister Bai Zhi, her personality is even more unconventional.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head.

"Of course not, you woke up because I resurrected you!"

Bai Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock.

"Resurrection? How is that even possible?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhi chuckled lightly.

"You've probably heard of Fuyang Dan, right?"

"A remedy for restoring yang?"

Bai Ruoruo was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and her expression changed slightly.

"Sister, where did you get such precious pills?"

Clearly, she was instinctively worried that her sister would pay too high a price to help her find the Rejuvenation Pill.

After all, pills of this grade are family heirlooms of major powers, so how could they be given away so easily?

Fortunately, Bai Zhi later offered a smiling explanation.

"Don't worry, this is what my sister got by exchanging that Dao Integration Pill."

"I see...that's good."

Bai Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Zhi, standing before her, looked at her and pursed her lips.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're alright."

The two sisters exchanged a glance.

Only then did they belatedly realize what was happening, and they excitedly embraced each other.

The two women embraced tightly, and Bai Ruoruo said with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Me too……"

The two, who depended on each other for survival, lived together and cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The feelings between them had long transcended ordinary kinship, reaching the point of being inseparable even in life and death.

If something happens to either party, the other party will find it difficult to survive alone...

Ye Yun, who was nearby, watched this scene silently, feeling somewhat emotional.

"If it were Xian'er and the others who got into trouble, I probably would have done the same thing."

Thinking about this, Ye Yun felt quite fortunate.

They have overcome these recent dangerous situations without experiencing any life-or-death situations.

Not long after, the two women seemed to have finished expressing their feelings.

Bai Zhi also helped Bai Ruoruo to carefully examine her body.

They only felt a little relieved after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong.

Of course, Bai Ruoruo can only be said to have survived at the moment; she will need to put in a lot of effort to fully recover to her peak condition.

At this moment, Bai Ruoruo noticed Ye Yun nearby and couldn't help but ask a question.

"By the way, who is this...?"

She looked Ye Yun up and down, but couldn't sense his cultivation level, so she found his identity rather strange.

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhi quickly explained with a smile.

"This fellow Daoist Nangong is practically your savior!"

"It was the flawless yang-restoring pill he brought that gave me the chance to save you!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoruo suddenly realized what was going on and quickly stood up to bow to him.

"I see, thank you very much, Senior Nangong!"

She was so weak that she could barely stand.

Ye Yun waved his hand, giving a reminder.

"You don't need to be so polite, just lie down and rest for a bit."

"In the end, my relationship with your sister is nothing more than a transaction."

Bai Ruoruo shook her head.

Even so, it was your elixir that saved my life!

It is clear that both sisters are people of good character.

So much so that Ye Yun felt a slight sense of guilt.

However, this mood was soon drawn to another thing that came to mind.

He looked at Bai Ruoruo and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"If you are truly grateful, could you tell me how you were injured?"

This is what he is most curious about and cares about right now.

At this moment, even Bai Zhi immediately asked.

"Yes, with your cultivation at the peak of the Dao Establishment stage, Ruoruo, you shouldn't encounter any danger."

Putting aside everything else, no cultivator of the same level could possibly keep her here.

Even a powerful expert at the Imperial Dao Realm, unless they are of a very high rank, might not be able to keep her here.

Bai Ruoruo's expression changed slightly when this matter was mentioned.

"I...I seem to have been injured by people from a mysterious organization."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Oh? What's so mysterious about them? What are their characteristics?"

"Features?"

Bai Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she quickly said.

"Oh, right! Those guys were all wearing weirdly designed masks!"
