Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

Chapter 415: Chapter 413: Charming Siren, 9 Nether Ancient Primordial Body

Princess Lan Yue knew she couldn’t overthink things, especially when facing someone like Yang Chan.

At the same time, her sense of urgency grew. She was currently practicing External Iron Bone Refining, but the bones throughout her body had not yet been fully tempered. Even with abundant Cultivation Resources, her progress slowed the further she went. This was because some of the bones were in extremely dangerous locations. If the Tempering process went wrong, she could end up injuring herself instead.

Therefore, she kept her Cultivation progress under control, focusing on steady improvement.

Now that such a danger was lurking within the Cyan Yuan Sect, she was naturally even more concerned.

She only knew about these dangers because Yang Chan had told her.

If she hadn’t known, she could have easily died at someone else’s hands.

The difference in Combat Power between Inner Masters could be vast. ’In my eyes, Yang Chan has tempered at least two or three of his internal organs. For someone to pose a threat to him, their Cultivation must be equally impressive.’

’And to be able to hide within the Cyan Yuan Sect, their methods must be extraordinary. That just raises the danger level even higher.’

The fact that Yang Chan was going to deal with it was good news for her.

Yang Chan had previously studied the Thousand-Faced Treasure Artifact on her face, but in the end, he had left it with her.

As for whether Yang Chan had other intentions, she didn’t know, nor could she resist them. The only thing she could do was show her sincerity; it was all she had to offer.

Sincerity and obedience were the only cards she had to play.

"If all goes well, I’ll be able to return the Thousand Faces to you soon."

"If it doesn’t, you’ll need to stay in the secret room for a while. I’ve prepared water and food, enough to last you some time."

"This person hiding in the Cyan Yuan Sect is likely connected to a Holy Land. It’s better for both of us if you stay hidden for now."

"Although the Cyan Yuan Sect is now one of the Merak Sacred Land’s Affiliated Forces, the Merak Sacred Land also has ties to the Great Zhou Imperial Family. We can’t gamble on whether the Merak Sacred Land can or will protect us!"

"So, it’s better to be cautious."

Seeing the timid look in Princess Lan Yue’s eyes, Yang Chan offered some words of comfort.

He naturally wanted to live a peaceful life in the Cyan Yuan Sect, but trouble always seemed to find him.

What made him feel worse was that this particular trouble was one he had chosen to keep around. That just made it more aggravating.

’Of course, even if I hadn’t taken her in, according to the Cyan Yuan Sect’s arrangements, she would have been sent to another Pharmacist, Elite Disciple, or Direct Disciple as a new Attendant or Maid.’

’The trouble would have been out of my hands, but it would have still been inside the Cyan Yuan Sect.’

’So, I can’t really say if this was a good or bad thing. The trouble was always here; it just would have been in a different place.’

"Pharmacist Yang, I understand. You must be careful!"

"If the situation becomes impossible, please don’t force it. After all, the Cyan Yuan Sect is backed by the Merak Sacred Land now. I can just stay hidden and ride out this storm!"

Princess Lan Yue slowly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a misty look. It was a gaze that evoked pity and irresistibly stirred one’s protective instincts.

To a certain extent, that look could awaken the protective instincts in a man’s heart, making him want to treat her well.

"Don’t worry, I know the stakes."

"I’ll make my move after nightfall. You can take off the Thousand Faces then. For now, just stay in the study. There are plenty of books, including some Alchemy Insights from Advanced Pharmacists. You can take a look; you might learn something."

Yang Chan changed the subject, gesturing to the bookshelf at the side.

Among them were the Alchemy Insights left behind by Elder Hua, Elder Yan, and others, which had been somewhat helpful even to Yang Chan.

He had already read through all of them, and his proficiency as a Pharmacist had increased as a result, which was a decent gain.

At the same time, Yang Chan’s emotions were gradually calming down.

’Princess Lan Yue really keeps surprising me,’ he thought. ’That protective urge I just felt came from deep within, but I managed to suppress it. I have to say, the daughters of the Imperial Family are full of tricks. No wonder they’re so formidable when it comes to fighting for power.’

’She exploits every facet of human nature to the fullest. It would be strange if it wasn’t effective.’

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Princess Lan Yue took small steps toward the bookshelf. As she walked past him, she seemed to inadvertently reveal her stunning figure for a fleeting moment before quickly returning to normal, as if it were an accident.

But this was the kind of thing that could stir a man’s desire even more.

A tantalizing glimpse, a perfect grasp of human nature.

Yang Chan took another deep breath. ’What a charming little enchantress.’ But the more she acted this way, the clearer his mind became.

’I can’t let a moment of desire change my mind or affect my decisions.’

’Compared to fleeting pleasure, I much prefer the prospect of a long life.’

...

「Nightfall.」

The stars shone brightly, a sign of a pitch-black night.

A night where the stars blazed and the moon was hidden.

A dark figure quietly appeared in Yuanqing Courtyard, then revealed its aura outside a certain room.

Its gaze locked onto a specific person.

Inside the room, the Taiyin Saintess, who had been pretending to be asleep, shot up. She quickly vaulted out of the room and began to flee.

Upon sensing she was being targeted, the Taiyin Saintess’s Reaction was incredibly fast; all her movements were pure instinct.

In the blink of an eye, her figure had already left Yuanqing Courtyard.

The man in black, however, seemed to react slowly. Only after seeing the Taiyin Saintess get far away did he seem to notice and give chase.

’Where did things go wrong?’

’How is someone tracking me again? I haven’t contacted anyone, and I don’t have any tracking marks on me.’

The Taiyin Saintess pondered this question as she fled.
