Chapter 37 – Azure Cloud Sect
The attending doctor's words were already quite clear.
In translation, it meant—Kid, you don't have many days left to live, so hurry up and spend all your money before you die and leave it to someone else.
Chen Huaian helplessly returned to the hotel; it was already past nine in the evening.
"Sigh, being able to make money is useless if this illness can't be cured with money." He opened the game and saw Li Qingran had stopped her breath regulation and was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the moonlight outside.
This girl must be worried about tomorrow's progress too.
But she really didn't need to worry.
Because now there was 500,000 in the bank account, which was already a huge sum in this game. There were so many things that could be done with it—a single Immortal Grade Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill only cost 100,000, and with 500,000, it might even be possible to buy the life of an Elemental Infant cultivator!
"If only I could pay-to-win to buy my own life," Chen Huaian shook his head. Unfortunately, his life wasn't a game, and no one would send him a heaven-defying artifact outside the game.
Tomorrow, Li Qingran would return to the Azure Cloud Sect.
And he would go to Heavenly Gate Mountain to record a show.
"Changing fate against the heavens still relies on myself. At least now I have 500,000 to do many things I didn't dare to think of before. In a way, isn't this also a kind of fate-changing?"
Chen Huaian lay on the bed, talking to himself while staring at the ceiling.
His previously anxious mindset instantly calmed down.
Things couldn't get any worse.
So every step from now on would be a good one.
"Sigh, nothing to do for now, might as well give that black cat a needle."
He finally remembered there was another life in the room, so he picked up the black cat from the shoebox.
The black cat had just been sleeping and was still dazed when Chen Huaian placed it on the sofa. But it quickly reacted, letting out a pitiful "meow" with a strained voice, then limped a couple of steps on the sofa before turning to meow at Chen Huaian again.
Could Chen Huaian resist this?
He stared at the black cat with its limping leg, stroking his chin and pondering, "What needle technique should I use? The Meridian Opening Needle had a good effect before, although it seemed risky. But since it's already limping, any side effects wouldn't matter. Besides, my luck wouldn't be that bad."
Support us at .
The black cat stared at Chen Huaian, also pondering.
【Heh heh, isn't this king adorable? Hurry and give this king the needle, heal this king's injuries, so this king can have a better chance to get your Spiritual Artifact... heh heh heh!】
"Then let's use the Meridian Opening Needle, take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!" Chen Huaian took out a silver needle and began working on the black cat.
Half an hour later, the black cat looked at its now truly limp right leg and fell into deep thought.
Her pace wasn't fast, but in no time, she had reached the square in front of the sect hall.
"Is that Li Qingran?"
"Uh, everyone talks about how beautiful Mu Baishuang is, saying Li Qingran was jealous of Mu Baishuang for taking her place at Crimson Sky Peak... But now it seems Li Qingran is much prettier than Mu Baishuang..."
"Heh, Li Qingran was always prettier than Mu Baishuang. I thought it was a pity when she was expelled from the sect."
...
Li Qingran stood in the square in front of the hall, raising her eyes to meet the various gazes around her.
Azure Cloud Sect had a total of 1,200 cultivators, and she could clearly hear the buzzing of their discussions.
She didn't know what these discussions were about.
Probably nothing good...
"Li Qingran, there's nothing to be afraid of."
She tightly gripped the Su Xian Sword, its sheath cold as ice.
The sword blade, forged from millennium-old black iron, emitted a frosty white chill through the sheath, blending with the morning mist.
Yet she didn't feel cold; instead, her heart gradually steadied, and she no longer felt nervous.
She wasn't standing here alone.
She wasn't without support behind her.
Even if she couldn't see the senior's figure, she could feel a gentle gaze watching over her.
Day and night, whether she was practicing, eating, sleeping, or bathing... that gaze would occasionally appear.
At first, she would feel shy and embarrassed, but later, without that gaze, she would feel uneasy.
She didn't know when she had become so reliant on the senior.
She knew it wasn't good, but she couldn't control her feelings.
She waited for an unknown amount of time, just as the sunlight shifted slightly.
The personal elders from each peak arrived one after another, the sect master's hall doors opened, and Sect Master Wu Duantian walked out with three personal disciples. Five beams of light flew from the top of Crimson Sky Peak, with a cyan flying sword leading the way, descending from the sky. Daoist Qingxuan flew down from the Xuanyuan Sword, followed by Xiao Yifeng, Yun Zimo, and Zhang Hanxiao, three inner disciples of Crimson Sky Peak, who landed on the square one after another. Lu Changtian was the last to arrive, with Sixth Junior Sister Mu Baishuang riding the flying sword behind him.
Li Qingran exchanged a glance with Mu Baishuang behind Lu Changtian, her gaze indifferent.
But Mu Baishuang seemed startled and quickly hid behind Lu Changtian.
A loud shout suddenly rang out, causing Li Qingran's ears to buzz.
"Li Qingran! Do you know your crime?!"
