Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

“He didn’t tell me anything, he just told me he had a surprise for me and asked me to come here, so I came,” Xue Qingwu replied.

Ye Liuyun nodded, but didn't say much, and then took Xue Qingwu to the palace where Yin Tong and the others were.

As the snow gently danced in the air, Yin Tong was overjoyed.

"Master, you've arrived." Yin Tong greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Yin Tong's expression made Ye Liuyun unconsciously stroke her chin. As someone with experience, she saw a special emotion in Yin Tong's eyes—a man's love for a woman.

"Could this guy have a crush on his master?" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.

However, she looked at Xue Qingwu's face again. To be honest, with such a beautiful master, probably not many men could resist her.

Chen Yang and Qin Hong, who were standing to the side, were also amazed by Master Yin Tong's appearance. They had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

"Alright, Xiaotong, tell me, why did you call your master here?" Xue Qingwu asked.

Yin Tong didn't waste any time and quickly told Xue Qingwu about how Ye Liuyun could cure the aftereffects of double pupils.

Upon hearing this news, Xue Qingwu trembled slightly. Although she was blind, she could sense that the power emanating from her disciple's eyes was different from before.

"Miss Ye, can you really cure my blindness? My blindness is not like Tong'er's situation. I am completely blind and there is no way to fix it." Xue Qingwu's voice trembled slightly, showing how excited she was.

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

"Senior, as long as you join my Liuyun Sect and become an elder, I will definitely be able to cure your eyes," Ye Liuyun promised.

Xue Qingwu was originally a rogue cultivator. No, she wasn't a rogue cultivator at first. After she went blind, she chose to retire and no longer concern herself with the affairs of the cultivation world.

Meanwhile, back at the Wang family's place, Wang Tongtian, who had already gone into seclusion, suddenly received a message from his clansmen.

"What? Qingwu has appeared?" Wang Tongtian was taken aback.

After saying that, he left his secluded place at an extremely fast speed and headed to the Sacred Ruins.

Xue Qingwu and Wang Tongtian were from the same era, and Wang Tongtian had a vague romantic relationship with Xue Qingwu when he was young.

Chapter 683 Reunion After a Thousand Years (6000 words)

Why is it described as a vague romantic relationship? It's because the two met during their teenage years, although they never openly announced their relationship.

However, feelings don't always have to be spoken. They can also be considered a tacitly agreed-upon relationship. In any case, Wang Tongtian regarded Xue Qingwu as his soulmate and would not marry anyone else.

Xue Qingwu never denied her relationship with Wang Tongtian. The world regarded them as a perfect couple and believed that they would definitely be together in the future.

The reason they didn't end up together was because Xue Qingwu's eyes were ruined, her cultivation level was stuck at the Reincarnation Realm, and her Dao Heart was damaged.

Xue Qingwu was also a favored daughter of heaven. How could she allow herself, a cripple, to continue maintaining that ambiguous relationship with Wang Tongtian? She felt unworthy, or rather, that she could no longer walk side by side with Wang Tongtian. She was not that kind of submissive woman, nor did she want to be the kind of submissive woman who relied on a man.

So she ultimately chose to leave without saying goodbye. She first left the Flying Immortal Realm to travel to various parts of the Eastern Continent, hoping to find a way to cure the aftereffects of her double pupils.

It was during this travel that he met another person with double pupils, namely Yin Tong.

So she took Yin Tong as her disciple, brought her back to her secluded place, and taught her carefully. Because she had learned from her own experience, she always told Yin Tong to use the power of double pupils as little as possible, and she felt that he should at least cultivate to the Celestial Realm.

"Senior, what do you think?" After stating his conditions, Ye Liuyun asked Xue Qingwu again.

Xue Qingwu was both surprised and excited, but she still found it hard to believe. She instinctively felt that Ye Liuyun had some kind of conspiracy, and it was normal for her to be suspicious. If she didn't suspect anything, she would be too trusting.

Don't be fooled by Xue Qingwu's gentle and easy-going appearance; in her youth, she had a notorious reputation.

"You really have no other conditions? Forgive my bluntness, but all of this seems too simple, so simple that it feels somewhat unreal." Xue Qingwu slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of pupils that looked as if she had cataracts.

Even though she was blind, those eyes were still incredibly beautiful. This was the first time Ye Liuyun had ever seen someone so beautiful even when blind.

Most importantly, she felt inexplicably nervous being stared at by Xue Qingwu with her blind eyes.

However, Ye Liuyun really didn't have any ulterior motives. She simply needed manpower because it was impossible to establish a foothold in the Flying Immortal Domain without strong people in charge. She couldn't let the people of Liuyun Sect and Yunduan become cowards or hide outside, could she?

"Senior, if you're asking about ulterior motives, I can only say that I need talented people and strong individuals. I have a grand ambition and need many people," Ye Liuyun said directly.

Ye Liuyun's words startled Xue Qingwu, while Yin Tong, who was standing to the side, immediately sent a message to her master.

"Master, this Miss Ye said she wants to build a force that will dominate the world."

When these words reached Xue Qingwu's ears, her first reaction was that it was impossible. Even if Wang Tongtian heard these words, he would probably think that Ye Liuyun was joking.

To dominate the world, one must inevitably become an enemy of the world. Only by suppressing the other forces on the Burial God Star can one achieve world domination. This so-called world domination is something that even many Heavenly Emperors would find difficult to achieve, let alone a force like Ye Liuyun's that only has the Transformation Realm.

She admitted that Ye Liuyun had some tricks up his sleeve. Not to mention anything else, just look at that special formation outside, even she couldn't break it. But that's not enough. Even those holy lands with imperial formations, imperial weapons, and powerful divine beings couldn't dominate the world. So for normal people, it's basically impossible.

Xue Qingwu remained silent for a long time, but she could sense that Ye Liuyun was not joking. Although her eyes were blind, her heart was not, and her ears were not deaf. After so many years of living in darkness, she had long since developed a keen eye and could judge the truth from falsehood by listening to sounds.

“Alright, although I think it’s a bit unlikely, since you’re so confident, I’ll agree. I can join your Flowing Cloud Sect in exchange for a chance to regain my sight,” Xue Qingwu replied.

Ye Liuyun smiled upon hearing this. She felt that if Xue Qingwu could be cured with the Rejuvenation Pill, her cultivation might even reach a higher level. In that case, their Liuyun Sect would have a true pillar of support.

After saying that, Ye Liuyun was about to take out the second Rejuvenation Pill and hand it to Xue Qingwu.

But at that moment, a loud voice rang in Ye Liuyun's and everyone else's ears.

"Little sister, could you please activate the formation? I need to speak with you about something."

That's Wang Tongtian's voice.

Wang Tongtian's sudden arrival surprised Ye Liuyun.

"Strange, didn't he say he was going into seclusion to cultivate and break through to the Divine Realm? Why did he suddenly come out of seclusion?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.

What Ye Liuyun didn't notice was that Xue Qingwu was slightly startled the moment Wang Tongtian's voice came.

Without hesitation, Ye Liuyun immediately activated the formation.

Xue Qingwu also asked about it out of curiosity.

"The person outside is very powerful, Miss Ye. Who is he to you?"

Xue Qingwu's question did not arouse any doubt in Ye Liuyun, and she answered calmly.

“He is my elder brother, the Celestial Ancestor of the Wang family, Wang Tongtian.”

Xue Qingwu was taken aback again, because she knew Wang Tongtian quite well. Wang Tongtian did have a younger sister when he was young, but none of his sisters could keep up with him. Most of them had passed away over time.

In this day and age, there should be no one of his generation in the Wang family.

"Is this fate?" Xue Qingwu's feelings were complicated at this moment.

After Ye Liuyun activated the formation, Wang Tongtian immediately entered it and instantly arrived at the palace where Ye Liuyun and Xue Qingwu were.

The moment Wang Tongtian appeared, his terrifying aura as a peak-level Celestial Realm cultivator immediately filled Yin Tong and the others with solemnity.

Many of them had never seen Wang Tongtian in person, but they had all heard of his reputation as the strongest person below the Divine Path, who was about to enter the Divine Path Secret Realm.

After Wang Tongtian arrived, his gaze immediately fell on Xue Qingwu, and Xue Qingwu calmly opened her blind eyes and stared at Wang Tongtian, as if she could see him.

The atmosphere was definitely off. Ye Liuyun looked at Wang Tongtian and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Such a deep and affectionate gaze... Could it be that he and Xue Qingwu are old acquaintances?"

The others could also clearly sense that something was off about the relationship between Xue Qingwu and Wang Tongtian.

Wang Tongtian looked at the beautiful woman before him whose face had never changed, and at those unseen eyes, and his body trembled slightly.

However, neither of them spoke until a minute later, when Wang Tongtian stammered and said to Ye Liuyun.

“Little sister, could you go outside with these little ones for a moment? I’m an old friend of this Snow Fairy, and I have some things I’d like to discuss with her alone.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun's eyes widened in shock. Not only her, but Yin Tong beside her was also filled with astonishment.

He wasn't stupid; he could tell that his master knew the Wang family's Celestial Ancestor, and that their relationship was probably quite special.

"Xiao Tong and Miss Ye, could you please leave for a moment?" Xue Qingwu asked.

After the two spoke, it was clear that no one could stay any longer, so the four of them left the palace at the same time, making room for the two people who hadn't seen each other for over a thousand years.

After the four of them came out, Wang Tongtian immediately used his power to shield and seal off the space where the two of them were.

Ye Liuyun and the other three looked completely bewildered.

"Yin Tong, are your master and my sworn brother old acquaintances? Why do you look like you don't know?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask.

However, Yin Tong looked worried and somewhat unhappy.

"I...I don't know. My master never told me about this," Yin Tong replied, shaking her head.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, then fell into deep thought.

After the outsiders left, the two people in the palace finally spoke, with Xue Qingwu speaking first.

"Your lifespan hasn't come to an end yet, why make yourself look so old? It's a bit unusual for me," Xue Qingwu said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tongtian reacted like a shy young boy, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Well, after all, I've become the Celestial Ancestor of this generation of the Wang family. If I look too young, it will make me seem less dignified. So I'll revert to my younger self." Wang Tongtian smiled awkwardly, then used the power of the laws to begin reversing his physical body.

His unkempt white hair quickly turned jet black, and his wrinkled skin became fair and smooth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, a somewhat unruly, yet handsome, black-haired youth appeared before Xue Qingwu.

"Alright, I've returned to my original form." Wang Tongtian touched his face and said with a smile.

However, Xue Qingwu sighed helplessly.

"Ah! Actually, I can't see whether you've returned to your original appearance. I only know that your aura has become younger," Xue Qingwu said.

These words made Wang Tongtian, who was initially very happy, suddenly become somewhat serious.

"Sister Xue, so many years have passed, and you still haven't gotten over that incident?" Wang Tongtian asked with a helpless expression.

It seems that Xue Qingwu is actually a bit older than Wang Tongtian.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qingwu smiled.

"If I didn't care and was content to be a woman who needed protection, would you still treat me the same as before?" Xue Qingwu asked rhetorically.

This question stumped Wang Tongtian. To be honest, he himself certainly didn't care that Xue Qingwu was blind; he really didn't care. However, he knew Xue Qingwu too well. If he said he didn't care, Xue Qingwu would see it as a form of disrespect towards her.

"How am I supposed to answer that? If I say I don't mind, you'll definitely be unhappy. If I say I do mind, that's just self-deception. I can only say that although you've been living in seclusion for so many years and haven't seen me, my feelings for you have always remained the same." That was all Wang Tongtian could say.

Xue Qingwu smiled slightly, then walked up to Wang Tongtian, raised her hands, and touched Wang Tongtian's cheeks.

"I believe in you. Sigh! It's just that I can't accept myself as I am now. All I see when I close my eyes these past years are the scenes of meeting you and fighting side by side. Back then, I was so full of vigor and ambition. I wanted to be the number one female powerhouse in the Eastern Continent. I remember when we first met, you were just a young boy, right?" Xue Qingwu asked with a smile.

When he was touched by the person he loved again after thousands of years, Wang Tongtian's mindset gradually returned to that of his youth.

Speaking of his meeting with Xue Qingwu, it was a bit of a melodramatic affair. When he was a teenager, he left the player base alone to train in a dangerous area of ​​the Flying Immortal Domain. Then, he accidentally provoked a powerful demon beast and was chased by it. He ended up in a deserted and secluded valley.

There was a lake in the valley, and Xue Qingwu was bathing in the lake at that time. He was only at the Dao Palace realm then, while Xue Qingwu was more powerful than him.

He hid in a lake to avoid the monsters, and then met Xue Qingwu.

As for what happened next, it's easy to guess: Xue Qingwu definitely saw Wang Tongtian as a lecherous man on the spot, grabbed him, and gave him a severe beating.

However, after learning that Wang Tongtian was being chased by a monster and had no choice but to hide in the lake, they did not hold it against Wang Tongtian.

Wang Tongtian was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time, still a teenager, while Xue Qingwu, although she looked very young, was already almost forty years old. However, for cultivators, this age difference was nothing and could be completely ignored.

This was their first meeting. As for how they gradually got together, that's a long story.

"Sister Xue, why bother? You're just too strong-willed. It's been so many years, it's time to let go." Wang Tongtian reached out and grabbed Xue Qingwu's wrist, looking as if he was unwilling to let go.

"What are you doing, suddenly grabbing me like this? Are you trying to kidnap me and make me your bandit queen?" Xue Qingwu didn't seem to mind being touched by Wang Tongtian.

They must have had more intimate contact before, but since Xue Qingwu's virginity was still intact, she definitely hadn't had that kind of relationship with Wang Tongtian.

“This time, I will never let you go again, no matter what. It’s been almost three thousand years. Do you know what three thousand years means? Even if you say I’m disrespectful, I’m taking you back this time,” Wang Tongtian said firmly.

Xue Qingwu chuckled softly as she looked at Wang Tongtian's expression.

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't hide this time. By the way, what's your relationship with that Ye Liuyun? I know very well that she and you are definitely not siblings. Are you sworn siblings?" Xue Qingwu asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tongtian couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression, and then carefully explained his relationship with Ye Liuyun.

After hearing Wang Tongtian's explanation, Xue Qingwu smiled again.

"You're still the same as ever. This is the kind of thing you'd do. Although I haven't seen you all these years, I know all the commotion you've caused in the Flying Immortal Domain and the surrounding areas. We made a promise back then that once you became the number one male cultivator of our time, and I became the number one female cultivator, I would hand you over. What a pity," Xue Qingwu sighed.

Wang Tongtian fulfilled his promise from back then, but Xue Qingwu herself could never fulfill it.

"These are all fleeting things, none of them matter. Sister Xue, come back to the Wang family with me. I'm not going into seclusion to break through to the Divine Realm anymore. I've lived for so long, and I don't have a single person to talk to. If you want to live in seclusion, I'll go with you," Wang Tongtian said very seriously.

However, Xue Qingwu resolutely refused.

“That won’t do. You’ve achieved your dream, but I haven’t. I haven’t given up,” Xue Qingwu said.

Wang Tongtian was really annoyed when he heard this.
