"He's finally awake."
Upon seeing Yi Yun wake up, the yellow-dressed girl heaved a clear sigh of relief. If the two expensive pills she had consumed had failed to wake Yi Yun up, it would have been a complete loss.
Having just woken up, Yi Yun was puzzled as to why the yellow-dressed girl had saved him. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for saving me, Miss."
Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Old Man Changsun was so infuriated that his beard trembled. This punk did not know his mistress at all. If he did, why would he say such an opening?
After paying such a huge price to save a punk he did not know at all, all he got in return was a word of thanks. What use was that!?
The way Old Man Changsun looked at Yi Yun was as though he wished to devour him. Which wicked guard had saved the punk?
Yi Yun ignored Old Man Changsun's gaze. All he did was look at the yellow-dressed girl and wait for her to speak.
"Little Yue … go get some bodhi grass from Mr. Changsun and brew it into some herbal soup." The yellow-dressed girl turned and said to the maidservant beside her.
Old Man Changsun was taken aback for a moment before he immediately understood that the yellow-dressed girl had something to say to the punk.
Old Man Changsun felt a little depressed but he could only accompany the maidservant and leave the sand boat.
After the duo left, the yellow-dressed girl stood up and bowed at Yi Yun. "Greetings Senior, this junior is Ji Shuiyan."
Senior?
Yi Yun was taken aback. This form of address … was the first time someone had addressed him as senior in his entire life.
The yellow-dressed girl in front of him looked eighteen or nineteen, but her actual age was not that much younger than him. Yi Yun said, "I'm Yi Yun, not some senior. Up to now, I have cultivated for less than a hundred years. There's a limit to how much older I am than you."
"Less than a hundred years?"
Ji Shuiyan looked at Yi Yun and was somewhat taken aback. However, she immediately smiled and said softly, "Senior, I have no ill intentions. My eyes are different from others. I can see through many people's cultivation levels but … I am unable to see through Senior's cultivation level. I only feel that there is an immense and unparalleled power in Senior's body. This power renders my eye techniques completely ineffective. For such a situation to occur, it only means that Senior's cultivation level far exceeds my imagination. "
"Furthermore, although senior fainted in the desert earlier, a lot of grass actually sprouted in the desert beside senior. This sort of abnormal sign is not something that ordinary people can have."
"In addition, when Mister Zhangsun treated Senior previously, there were also many unusual aspects. No matter what precious medicine it was, it would be completely absorbed when it entered Senior's body. Even metal and stone would not be able to pierce Senior's skin. How could Senior have only cultivated for a hundred years?"
When Ji Shuiyan said those words, Yi Yun came to a realization. Ji Shuiyan had mistaken him for a mighty figure in dire straits.
Spending two precious elixirs to save a powerhouse was naturally beneficial. A powerhouse's favor was very hard to come by.
Yi Yun shrugged and said, "I'm really not a senior. I've cultivated for less than a hundred years. My cultivation level is only one major realm higher than yours."
Yi Yun had previously noticed that the girl was at the early stages of the Dao Seed realm. For a girl of her age, it was already very good.
"Only one major realm higher than me?" Ji Shuiyan was momentarily in disbelief. However, from the looks of it, Yi Yun did not seem to be lying. It appeared that she had made a mistake.
Upon coming to this realization, Ji Shuiyan shook her head. She was truly turning to any doctor in a desperate situation …
At that moment, Yi Yun said, "Miss Ji, may I know what difficulties you faced when you saved me? Do you require the help of an expert?"
Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Ji Shuiyan sighed lightly and forced a smile. "Not really. It's just that I have always pursued martial arts but have encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation. I wish to find a senior to be my master."
Ji Shuiyan spoke casually, but Yi Yun felt that she had not finished her sentence. However, since Ji Shuiyan did not wish to elaborate, he did not probe further. Instead, he said, "Miss Ji, I know that the medicine you gave me was very precious. May I know where your home is? If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness. "
This kindness was no trifling matter. If Yi Yun were to remain immobile, his life might not be in danger, but it would probably take a year or two for the divine tree seed to germinate. To lie in the desert for a year or two was truly astounding. Furthermore, it would waste a great deal of Yi Yun's cultivation time.
"There's no need. It's fate that we meet by chance. Helping you this time is also a form of fate between us. There's no need to mention repayment."
Ji Shuiyan seemed to quickly extricate herself from her disappointment. She smiled at Yi Yun and did not mention where she lived. Clearly, she did not expect Yi Yun to repay her.
This was also reasonable. With the Divine Secrets Trading Company's wealth, why would they need a junior at the Dao Manifestation realm to repay them?
"Alright then …" Yi Yun naturally did not probe further since Ji Shuiyan refused to elaborate. He had a good impression of Ji Shuiyan. Although she had some ulterior motives for saving him, it was understandable. Later on, when she realized that he was different from what she imagined, she did not mock him or make unreasonable demands.
"Yi Yun, since you have a Dao Manifestation realm cultivation level, traversing the Sun Burial Sandsea should be easy. It's best you leave quickly. Due to the recent phenomenon in the Sun Burial Sandsea, many factions have gathered here. It's not very peaceful. With your cultivation level, it's best you stay far away."
Ji Shuiyan gave Yi Yun some advice. Yi Yun's heart stirred. "Phenomenon? What phenomenon? "
"It's best you do not know. You have cultivated for less than a hundred years, yet you have such a cultivation level. Your talent is impressive. I'm very envious of you."
Ji Shuiyan had no intention of speaking further. Clearly, she was afraid of harming Yi Yun by saying too much.
"Alright then …" Yi Yun nodded. With things having come to this point, it was pointless to pursue the matter further. He could only bid farewell and leave the sand boat.
In the short conversation he had with Ji Shuiyan, Yi Yun had a nagging feeling that she was hiding many things in her heart despite her good nature.
He memorized the merchant association's insignia on the sand boat. He planned on returning the favor to the merchant association when he had the chance in the future. But at that moment, Yi Yun's heart suddenly palpitated as he slowed down his footsteps.
At that moment, he suddenly felt an ice-cold perception envelop him.
Yi Yun frowned. His perception did not back down as it surged towards the perception that was filled with animosity!
Yi Yun's perception was powerful to begin with. And after absorbing the divine tree seed, his perception had undergone a qualitative change. It could even penetrate Chaos Stones. Therefore, although Yi Yun knew that the other party's cultivation level was higher than his, he was not worried that she would discover him. He wantonly used his perception.
In an instant, Yi Yun saw an old woman dressed in red with a head of white hair. She was lying in a loft in the sand boat.
The old woman was as thin as a stick. Her eyes were sunken but her face was as white as a ghost's.
She suddenly opened her eyes and smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. She said, "Yan'er, come over here."
At that moment, Ji Shuiyan, who had just sent Yi Yun away, trembled when she heard the voice. Her face instantly turned pale. Yi Yun noticed that Ji Shuiyan's eyes were filled with deep fear.
