After giving up on pursuing the demonic servants that had escaped, Yi Yun returned straight to the lake in the valley.
"Young Master is back!" Ru'er exclaimed in pleasant surprise when she saw Yi Yun's figure suddenly appear in the pavilion.
Dong Xiaowan hurriedly came out to welcome him. "Young Master, why are you back so fast?"
For Yi Yun to return so quickly, it was likely because he had sensed the strangeness of the ancient ruin and sensed the danger …
"It's good that you are back. Ru'er and I were very worried," said Dong Xiaowan.
As for whether Yi Yun had managed to probe the ancient ruin in such a short period of time, that was secondary.
Yi Yun smiled slightly. "I have found a way to resolve the curse of the ancient ruin. Now, I will be entering seclusion for a few days. Xiaowan, prepare yourself. Once I come out of seclusion, I will remove the root of your illness."
With that said, Yi Yun walked into the house.
Dong Xiaowan stood in her spot in a daze. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
Yi Yun's words had been spoken nonchalantly, but it had greatly shocked Dong Xiaowan.
In such a short period of time, Young Master had not only probed the ancient ruin, he had even resolved the curse inside?
Furthermore …
"Xiaowan, congratulations. You are finally going to recover. It's all thanks to Young Master." Ru'er said happily as she grabbed Dong Xiaowan's hand.
Dong Xiaowan still had a dreamy look on her face as she nodded in a daze. The corners of her mouth could not help but suffuse a smile. "That's right … I was still wondering if I had heard wrong …"
After returning to his room, Yi Yun sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed and looked inwardly at the Azure Wood Divine Tree.
After absorbing a large number of demonic servants in the ancient ruin, the Azure Wood Divine Tree had yet to digest a large portion of the energy.
And after absorbing a portion of the demonic servants' energy, the Azure Wood Divine Tree had turned a lot more lush than before. It was growing at a discernible pace.
The Azure Wood Divine Tree's growth was equivalent to Yi Yun's own growth. Yi Yun felt exhilarated when he sensed the Azure Wood Divine Tree's vibrant vitality.
The demonic servants had been slumbering there for an unknown period of time, waiting to cause a disaster when they awoke. They would then possess the bodies of countless warriors. Yi Yun never expected to suddenly uproot them all.
"I'll first enter seclusion to absorb and digest the energy before helping Dong Xiaowan remove the root of her illness." Yi Yun took a light breath and closed his eyes.
Immediately, a wave of Yuan Qi emanated from his body. At the same time, the Azure Wood Divine Tree's phantom image appeared behind him.
The entire bamboo house was enveloped in a cyan energy. The dead bamboos that had been chopped off a long time ago all sprouted in this cyan energy.
In Yi Yun's room, a number of bamboo leaves grew out. With the Yuan Qi fluctuations, they gently swayed. A rich aura of life even emanated out of the bamboo house, spreading throughout the entire island in the middle of the lake.
The spirit flowers planted on the island all sprouted flower buds and bloomed. The spirit grass also grew more lush.
On the island in the middle of the lake, flowers bloomed and a fragrant aroma assailed the nostrils.
"Young Master's closed-door cultivation is really miraculous. Even I feel that my body is much lighter." Ru 'er looked at the tightly shut door and sighed.
After Yi Yun entered seclusion, Dong Xiaowan also entered seclusion. In order to treat her illness, she needed to be in peak condition.
Now, in the bamboo house by the lake in the valley, two people were in seclusion, and one was in deep sleep. Only Ru'er was awake.
She sat on the steps outside the house, her hands propping up her tiny face. She watched with interest as the flowers bloomed on the grass by her feet.
This situation lasted for a few days.
One day, Yi Yun's bamboo house suddenly emitted an azure light. The lake in the valley, including all the plants in the valley, instantly began to sway as though they were prostrating in his direction.
Creak.
Yi Yun pushed open the door and walked out. After a few days of seclusion, his eyes were suffused with a divine glow. His skin was like beautiful jade and he had an otherworldly bearing. He was like an immortal that had descended from the heavens.
The plants that were prostrating in his direction began to bend their leaves as though they were paying homage to their king.
Ru'er, who had come forward to welcome him in delight, was stunned when she saw Yi Yun.
She nearly believed that Yi Yun was not a person of this world, but an immortal that had come from an alternate world that was filled with flowers.
Yi Yun sensed the changes in his body with satisfaction. After absorbing all the demonic servants' energy, the Azure Wood Divine Tree grew ten feet taller.
The small tree that was originally twenty feet tall had now become thirty feet tall.
The Azure Wood Divine Tree needed to absorb massive amounts of natural treasures to grow. The effects of the demonic servants were in no way inferior to natural treasures.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun found it a little regretful. He only knew of the Jadewave Sect's World Stone mineral vein, but he did not know if there were any other ancient ruins.
If not …
"It's better not to bite off more than one can chew. It's best I don't think about it." Yi Yun shook his head.
The demonic servants were extremely strange. Ordinary people would probably avoid them in fear. If they knew that someone was actively seeking them out with such anticipation, it was a mystery what they would think.
At that moment, Yi Yun converged his aura, hiding his vibrant vital energy within his body. The plants returned to normal, and Ru'er finally snapped out of her daze.
She looked at Yi Yun in surprise and said, "Young Master, you are now …" Although Yi Yun had converged his aura, he still had an elegant bearing that exuded a special feeling.
"We'll talk about it later. Where's Xiaowan? "asked Yi Yun.
"Young Master." Another door opened. Dong Xiaowan stood by the door and looked at Yi Yun. "Congratulations on successfully coming out of seclusion, Young Master."
Yi Yun nodded. "Yea. It looks like you are ready. Then let's not delay any further. Let's begin. Ru'er, wait outside. "
The demonic servant had an evil aura. Ru'er's strength was weak, so Yi Yun was afraid of scaring her.
"Alright." Ru'er nodded obediently.
"Let's begin."
Yi Yun entered Dong Xiaowan's room and said, "Lie down first."
Dong Xiaowan obediently lay down on the bamboo bed and looked at Yi Yun, who had come to her bedside.
"Guard your Yuan Qi tightly. Do not send it to your dantian for now. Leave the rest to me." As Yi Yun spoke, he gently placed his palm on Dong Xiaowan's abdomen. He felt Dong Xiaowan's soft abdomen tense up. Yi Yun glanced at her and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
"Yea …" Dong Xiaowan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. She looked at Yi Yun's focused expression and felt her ears heat up.
Not only had she allowed Yi Yun to enter her room, she had even allowed him to lie on the bed. There was only a thin layer of clothing separating her and Yi Yun's warm palm.
This was something Dong Xiaowan had never experienced before.
Yi Yun's palm pressed on Dong Xiaowan's dantian. The moment the Purple Crystal's energy vision was activated, he immediately saw the ghost-faced demonic servant lurking in Dong Xiaowan's dantian.
The moment the demonic servant sensed Yi Yun, it immediately revealed a look of extreme horror.
At that moment, Yi Yun had already absorbed a large number of its kind. The Azure Wood Divine Tree had grown another ten feet taller, and the terror it posed to the demonic servant was even more intense.
"Ah!" The demonic servant let out an ear-piercing shriek as it attempted to escape deeper into Dong Xiaowan's dantian.
"Trying to run?" Yi Yun pressed down gently with his palm, injecting the Azure Wood Divine Tree's vital energy directly into Dong Xiaowan's dantian.
The cooling energy made Dong Xiaowan's body go limp. She could not help but let out a soft grunt. And this energy was like a mountain of blades or a sea of fire to the demonic servant.
"Ah!"
The demonic servant could not withstand it and finally escaped from her dantian. But just as it attempted to escape, it was trapped in a spatial cage that Yi Yun had prepared.
The demonic servant thrashed about in the spatial cage, and under such circumstances, Dong Xiaowan finally managed to vaguely see the demonic servant's appearance. She immediately screamed.
"It's time for you to die." Yi Yun looked coldly at the demonic servant. The Azure Wood Divine Tree's phantom image flashed as the demonic servant immediately transformed into points of light amidst its tragic cries. The Yuan Qi it transformed into had been completely absorbed by the Azure Wood Divine Tree.
Seeing the demonic servant completely dissipate, Yi Yun's expression relaxed.
He looked down at Dong Xiaowan and said with a smile, "It's over."
