"Old master, I... I’m fine, please don’t... don’t harm your health."
"Xuanchan, you finally called me ’old master,’ hahaha... To hear you call me that before I die is enough!! Don’t worry, I’ll take you to the Li Family’s forbidden land, everything will be fine!"
...
...
The Li Family’s forbidden land exists outside the "Lower Realm" of the Li Family and is a place guarded by the ancestor, who also "moonlights" in overseeing the Lower Realm.
This is a place of snow and a long bridge.
One side of the bridge is the "Lower Realm of the Li Family," and the other side is a small house.
Outside the small house is a membranous border of the Secret Realm, prohibiting all Li Family members from entering without permission.
Song Yan was sent to this small house.
As soon as he arrived, he felt the limitless power of ice and snow pressing down, which significantly slowed his injuries.
The Li Family ancestor sat beside the couch, solemnly summoned a snow-white lotus seed glowing with watery light from the void, and said, "Xuanchan, this World-Purifying White Lotus Seed was a fortune I obtained long ago in a Sixth-Level Cultivation Realm. Previously, I consumed one to expedite the birth of the Ice Abyss Phoenix during a fight with the old wretch, the Emperor of the Long Night, and later consumed another to preserve my life till now. Today, this third seed is for you to quickly consume, and it will heal you."
"Old master..." Song Yan was somewhat hesitant.
The World-Purifying White Lotus Seed was obviously the old master’s treasured resource and life-saving means. If he ate it, what about the old master?
"I told you to eat it, so eat it!"
The Li Family ancestor commanded, then reached out with the lotus seed.
Song Yan received the lotus seed.
The Li Family ancestor looked at him earnestly and said, "Xuanchan, the Cultivation Realm is cruel. Due to various reasons, enmity has formed with the Emperor of the Long Night, and this vendetta won’t disappear. Once you control the Li Family, do not think of moving and living under someone else’s roof. Firstly, that life won’t be good, merely gambling on luck in a new place, and secondly, if our Li Family runs, the Emperor of the Long Night will undoubtedly pursue us personally."
Seeing Song Yan listen without eating the lotus seed,
the Li Family ancestor urged again, "Quickly eat it."
Song Yan ate it in one gulp.
As the lotus seed went down his throat, it transformed into extremely pure energy.
Song Yan looked down and saw that his originally cracking body had stopped splitting at a visible speed.
Yet at that moment, he lost control over his body.
He couldn’t maintain the appearance of Li Xuanchan and was left to watch as his body slowly transformed back to his true form.
"Old master!"
