Chapter 1027 “One Pill One Celestial (1)”
Boom!
It’s unsure how long its been since the last lightning strike hit her but Bai Yan never once moved her eyes away from the shaky cauldron. It’s extremital the refinement goes through smoothly during this period. If so much as a single mistake happens right now, the entire batch would be ruined and she would have to start over….
Minutes later.
Hours later.
Soon a faint fragrance could be found exuding out from the crack between the lid and the main container.
Bai Yan’s eyes lit up upon getting a whiff of the scent. Hurrying to remove the lid, she looks inside and found several crystal clear beads sitting there ready for her to pick up.
“This may be my first attempt at this formula, but five in one attempt…. That’s not bad at all!”
Cleaning up the mess around herself, she gave one final meaningful glance in the direction of that black pool before heading towards the exit.
……
On the Holy Island, a white light flashed into existence and out came Bai Yan’s figure from within the bronze gate. And as if signaled by this, the door also disappeared following her departure and reformed into the three keys that landed into the woman’s hand.
Bai Yan wasn’t going to dump the three artifacts away of course, she still had others things inside that she wishes to investigate, especially that black pool on a later date.
“Yan’er.” Suddenly, a happy and surprised call came from the front.
Looking up, Bai Yan immediately saw it was her own grandfather Bai Chang Feng of the Medicine Sect. The senior showed a smile as he slowly walked over from the distance.
“Grandfather.” Delighted as well over the familiar sight, Bai Yan hurries forward in order to meet the senior halfway, “You still haven’t left the Holy Land?”
Giving a long sigh: “After you went into the miracle, I and that Wu Wei did leave for our respective home, but…. something happened in these lands while you were away.”
Seeing the expression there, Bai Yan’s voice turned solemn: “What happened?”
Bitterly smiling, the grandpa went ahead to explain the whole story, “Not long ago, that slave you sent back to the Spirit Realm came to us with news, she said their forces are invading and intends to slaughter everyone on this piece of land.”
Narrowing her eyes in over that bit, a frosty coldness flickered within Bai Yan’s face. This Spirit Realm…. they are indeed making a move!
“And then?” she asks again with a dangerous glow.
“Then, Chu Ran had everyone come to the Holy Island, including the Lan family. We used the barrier around this place to protect everyone from those Celestial Rank cultivators, just that….. Chu Ran is simply unreliable. The barrier around the island couldn’t completely fend off the attacks and nearly collapsed. Thankfully Di Xiao Wan brought over a horde of demons with her in the nick of time. We were saved thanks to the help.”
Di Xiao Wan?
Blinking her eyes in startlement, “But then where’s Di Cang?”
“She said her brother is currently inside the secret domain looking for Xiachen and is not in the Demon Realm. Because of that, he didn’t get the news of the invasion.”
A long silence hung over the mother’s heart upon hearing her son’s name.
Di Cang went looking for Xiachen? It can’t be…. something happened to my boy?
While her heart trembled and those hands clenched with unease, a promise suddenly surfaced in her mind. It’s the promise she shared with her husband, and that was trust. If Di Cang said their son would be find then it’s a wife’s duty to trust her husband. At the very least, until he proves otherwise. So, Bai Yan won’t rush off in search of her son like she would in the past.
Getting a little better in her complexion over the trust she held for the two males in her life, Bai Yan controls her mood so it doesn’t affect those here. “Then where is Di Xiao Wan and the others? How come I don’t see them here?”
