Chapter 44 – Decisive action
The Jadeite Creation Pill is precious because it not only heals injuries but also alleviates pain.
When cultivators face life-and-death crises, sometimes the injuries aren't the most lethal; rather, it's the various negative states brought on by pain that are deadly.@@@@
The Immortal Grade Jadeite Creation Pill almost completely isolates all pain, making even the agony of a thousand swords piercing the heart so mild it can be ignored. Li Qingran looked at the faint green glow on her body, gently pinched her wrist with her left hand, and lowered her gaze. She knew she had unknowingly received another favor from her senior, but she had already accumulated so many debts of gratitude that she didn't know how to repay them.
"Senior, Qingran..."
[It's nothing, just a pill, let's deal with the current matter first.]
A misty voice echoed in her ear, audible only to her.
"Qingran, are you satisfied with the Sect Master's decision?"
Li Qingran looked up at Wu Duantian, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yun Zimo being carried away by two disciples to the Enforcement Hall for punishment.
Indeed, even the pain of having one's eyes gouged out and tongue cut off, with molten iron poured into the ears, was nothing compared to the suffering she had endured.
Without her senior, Wu Duantian, out of respect for Daoist Qingxuan, would probably have given Yun Zimo a light punishment.
She should have been relentless, but thinking of the senior standing behind her, she felt at ease.
"Sect Master Wu is wise and just, and I naturally admire him." Li Qingran bowed deeply, indicating her satisfaction.
[Wait!]
A cold voice rang out in the void.
[Qingran is satisfied, but I am not!]
Wu Duantian's smile froze, his hand stroking his beard awkwardly, unsure whether to put it down or lift it up, and he cautiously asked the void, "Uh, what do you think should be done?"
"Punish him on the spot, of course!" Chen Huaian sat cross-legged on the sofa, stroking a cat with his left hand and pressing a Sound Transmission Talisman with his right, babbling away: "Who knows if you'll really punish him or just pretend when you take him to the Enforcement Hall. Seeing is believing, hearing is not."
After a moment of silence, a misty voice came from the void:
[Punishment should be visible, and justice should not be hidden. If the punishment is not displayed before people, it won't serve as a deterrent.]
[Therefore, it must be executed immediately!]
Daoist Qingxuan snorted with a sullen face.
Wu Duantian straightened his beard, smiling like a peacemaker.
He squinted, feeling the time was ripe, and looked behind Li Qingran, cupping his hands, "I have an impertinent request. Since you have a way to restore Li Qingran's dantian, could you also help my direct disciple?"
He brought Zhao Lingtian forward, wearing a pained expression, "This child is talented, kind, and a rare talent, but his dantian was destroyed by a Demon Sect cultivator. I can't bear to see him so dispirited, stuck at this point..."
Li Qingran raised her head, the blush fading from her face, her autumn eyes turning icy.
Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill.
Now she finally understood how precious an opportunity her senior had given her.
Such a Divine Pill must be difficult for her senior to obtain, right?
Wu Duantian asked for it so casually, on what grounds? Was he planning to use her to coerce her senior?
Meanwhile, Chen Huaian, on his phone, also received a prompt.
[Sect Master Wu Duantian of the Azure Cloud Sect requests an opportunity from you—a Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill. Please make your choice. (Different choices may lead to different outcomes, please choose carefully.)]
...
Chen Huaian almost instantly wanted to choose one.
But his finger suddenly paused, his eyes narrowing, realizing this matter wasn't simple.
