In the northwest corner of Myriad City, a wide bluestone path extended out. At the end of the bluestone path was a magnificent manor. The manor spanned five kilometers and by the entrance stood two thirty-foot bronze lions. They looked extremely mighty.
At a glance, it looked like a prince's manor in the mortal world. But in fact, this manor was where the second largest faction in Myriad City, the Guiyuan family, resided.
A light carriage stopped in front of the Guiyuan family's entrance. The curtains were pulled open as a maidservant walked out and said, "Miss, we are here."
"Oh …"
A faint female voice sounded as a girl in a purple dress alighted from the carriage. She was none other than the proud daughter of heaven of the Guiyuan family — Fairy Purple Rain.
"Miss, are you feeling better?" The maidservant asked with concern. Fairy Purple Rain had been infected for months.
Fairy Purple Rain shook her head. "I'm fine."
Fairy Purple Rain held onto the railing as she alighted the carriage. Although she said that she was fine, her face was pale. She looked extremely frail.
Only geniuses were affected by the plague. As the number one genius of the Guiyuan family, Fairy Purple Rain was naturally not spared.
After Fairy Purple Rain contracted the illness, her body began to weaken in just a few months. People discovered that the higher the talent, the faster the illness would affect them. Their bodies would also weaken faster. Instead, it was those with weaker talent who were infected with the illness that only prevented them from cultivating. It did not affect their vitality or lifeblood.
There was no need to elaborate on Fairy Purple Rain's talent. It caused her to rapidly lose her vitality. As a result, the Guiyuan family invited many doctors to take Fairy Purple Rain's pulse, but none of them were able to find a cure.
Later on, the Guiyuan family's patriarch personally took action. He checked Fairy Purple Rain's dantian and finally determined that the strange illness was caused by an evil spirit invading her body.
When the cause of the illness was mentioned, many people were alarmed. Typically, when an evil spirit invaded a body, all that was needed was to resolve the evil spirit.
However, although the Guiyuan family's patriarch could tell that it was an evil spirit, he was helpless to discover that the evil spirit had already fused with Fairy Purple Rain's dantian. Just destroying the evil spirit was not difficult, but the difficult part was how to preserve Fairy Purple Rain's dantian while destroying the evil spirit.
If he destroyed the Evil Spirit and destroyed his Dantian, then it would be better not to save him at all. Thus, this illness was delayed, and he was looking for a way to cure it completely.
Seeing her body weaken by the day, Fairy Purple Rain said that she was fine, but she was actually feeling more and more anxious and in pain. As a proud daughter of the heavens, she had suddenly suffered a calamity. Not only had she wasted valuable cultivation time, she might even perish. How could the extremely arrogant Fairy Purple Rain accept such a tragic outcome?
Fairy Purple Rain had already sent people to search for Yi Yun. In Myriad City, only Yi Yun had once awakened the critically ill Dong Xiaowan. Even if Yi Yun could not completely cure the illness, he could at least alleviate it. He was nearly her only hope at present.
However, over the past few months, Yi Yun seemed to have evaporated into thin air. There was no sign of him at all.
Fairy Purple Rain knew that the Myriad Immortal Pavilion was holding a Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet. However, it was unknown if the alchemists and doctors were able to treat the illness. The only person known to be able to alleviate the illness, Yi Yun, was nowhere to be found.
"Fourth Elder has found a doctor to treat Young Mistress. He wishes to invite Young Mistress over." At this moment, the old butler of Guiyuan Manor walked forward and said.
"A doctor …"
Fairy Purple Rain sighed. Fourth Elder was her grandfather, so he was naturally worried about her illness. In fact, she was not the only one in the Guiyuan family who was ill. All the juniors in the family, as long as they had passable talent, were ill.
Over the past few months, Fairy Purple Rain had seen dozens of doctors, if not more than a hundred. Many of them were old and clumsy, with long beards. However, none of them had a solution.
"I don't really wish to meet him." Fairy Purple Rain said with flagging interest. She did not hold out much hope. Some of the doctors had just entered the Dao Palace and were inferior to her. What could such doctors tell?
"Fourth Elder said that the doctor's skills are extraordinary. Young Mistress, you must head over."
The butler insisted. Fairy Purple Rain could only nod helplessly. She knew that her grandfather was anxious. Since it was his kind intentions, she could only play along. She hoped that there would be a tiny bit of effect …
Fairy Purple Rain followed the butler through the door. After passing through a winding corridor, they arrived at a side hall in the back garden.
Few people came to this side hall. It was extremely well-hidden. Fairy Purple Rain was somewhat surprised. She never expected the meeting to be held here.
"Grandfather."
Fairy Purple Rain bowed when she saw Fourth Elder.
"Purple Rain, you're here. Have a seat." Fourth Elder pointed to a chair beside him. Beside Fourth Elder was an azure-clothed youth. He looked ordinary and unfamiliar. Even in front of her grandfather, he sat calmly on the chair.
Fairy Purple Rain was taken aback. She looked at the positions of the three chairs and finally realized the youth's identity. "Don't tell me you are that doctor?"
Fairy Purple Rain was rendered speechless. The youth did not look much older than her. Even if he had consumed a Youth Retaining Pill, it was impossible for him to look that young. A typical Youth Retaining Pill would only allow a person to remain in their youth to middle age. For the youth in front of her, he looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old mortal.
The young man glanced at her. At this time, the Fourth Elder excitedly said, "This young man just happened to meet a sick junior. He saw the cause of the illness at a glance, and it was exactly the same as what the Ancestor said."
Since the Patriarch could tell the cause of the illness, they naturally would not publicize it. The other factions, such as the Zhou family and the Myriad Immortal Pavilion, had likely found the cause, but they would not publicize it either.
For the youth to be able to tell the cause at a glance, it immediately made Fourth Elder feel a sense of anticipation.
"He can tell the cause?" Fairy Purple Rain was somewhat surprised. However, she still found it difficult to lift her spirits.
Identifying the cause was useless if it could not resolve the problem. She had long known the cause of the illness, but her body was still deteriorating.
"Fairy Purple Rain, we meet again." The youth smiled. His voice sounded familiar to Fairy Purple Rain.
Fairy Purple Rain was taken aback as she looked at the youth in puzzlement. "You …"
At that moment, Fairy Purple Rain saw the youth's deep and bright eyes. She found his bearing to be even more familiar. She immediately stood up and said, "You are Yi Yun?!"
"Fairy Purple Rain, you sure have a good eye." Yi Yun did not deny it. He had used the 'Star Transference Heaven Changing Book' to change his looks before arriving at Myriad City. At the city gates, he immediately saw the notice posted by the Guiyuan family that was offering a bounty for a famous doctor. He had accepted the notice.
And Yi Yun did not plan on concealing his identity when he came to the Guiyuan family. Although he had used the 'Star Transference Heaven Changing Book', his voice was still his original voice. He did not deliberately conceal it or Fairy Purple Rain would never have been able to tell his identity.
"What? You are Yi Yun? " Fourth Elder was taken aback as well. Although the Guiyuan family had been secretly searching for Yi Yun, he never expected that Yi Yun would dare come to Myriad City while the Myriad Immortal Pavilion was conducting a massive search for him. Furthermore, Yi Yun had used a disguise technique to fool everyone. As an early-stage Supremacy, he had failed to notice anything amiss.
Such a disguise technique was way too powerful. However, on careful thought, Yi Yun had the strength of a Supremacy. It was not surprising that he had a disguise technique that eluded Supremacies. Perhaps only the Myriad Immortal Pavilion's Grand Elders or figures like City Lord Qin could see through Yi Yun's disguise. However, there were only a handful of such people in the Myriad Divine Territory. How could they be sent by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion to search for Yi Yun?
Fourth Elder suddenly realized that the Myriad Immortal Pavilion had probably encountered an enemy it should not have.
"Young Master Yi, why have you come to my Guiyuan Manor today?"
