Chapter 133: Third elder
As Lin Xiao Tian finished speaking, Tian Jian Wun quietly looked toward him for several moments before finally opening his mouth. "Take me in as an elder of your sect."
The calm evening atmosphere around the pavilion suddenly quieted even further after those words.
Lin Xiao Tian slowly raised his eyes toward him while his expression remained completely calm.
"With the level of strength and influence you possess," he said quietly, "do you truly only want this in exchange for your help?"
Hearing this, Tian Jian Wun slowly nodded without hesitation. "Indeed, Sect Master."
His gaze gradually drifted toward the distant mountains of the sect while traces of emotion flickered faintly within his dragon-like eyes. "I simply wish to watch them grow."
Then his expression became slightly deeper afterward. "And I wish to know whether this curse can truly be broken."
The surrounding wind quietly passed through the pavilion while the spiritual lake beneath reflected the fading evening sky.
After several moments of silence, Tian Jian Wun continued speaking again.
"I have also spent many years searching for the legendary pool mentioned within the records of the Ten Thousand Beast Sovereign Sect."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao Tian’s eyes flickered slightly, then he slowly stood up from his seat before walking toward the edge of the pavilion.
The evening sunset reflected across the lake quietly while flower petals drifted across the water beneath the wind.
"Well..." Lin Xiao Tian finally said calmly. "You are indeed worthy of becoming an elder of this sect, Lord Wun."
Tian Jian Wun’s expression finally relaxed slightly after hearing those words.
But before he could speak further, Lin Xiao Tian continued calmly while looking toward the lake outside. "Until then, you will still continue overseeing Golden Leaf City."
As he said this, he casually tossed a jade token backward toward Tian Jian Wun.
The city lord instantly caught it within his hand. "The token contains the basic information regarding the sect and several formation permissions," Lin Xiao Tian explained calmly.
Then he paused briefly afterward. "And regarding the thing you are searching for..."
Tian Jian Wun immediately looked toward him sharply.
Lin Xiao Tian slowly turned his head slightly while a faint smile appeared across his face. "I might know where it exists."
The moment those words fell, Tian Jian Wun’s pupils instantly contracted.
For the first time since arriving at the sect, genuine excitement and shock appeared within his eyes.
My decision truly was correct...
Before the atmosphere could continue deepening further, Lin Xiao Tian suddenly spoke again. "What about the pill you mentioned earlier, Lord Wun?"
Hearing this, Tian Jian Wun finally calmed himself before directly taking out a jade bottle from his storage ring.
The moment the bottle appeared, a dense medicinal aroma instantly spread throughout the entire pavilion.
Even the surrounding spiritual energy faintly stirred in response.
Lin Xiao Tian’s gaze sharpened immediately afterward and in the next instant, he directly activated the system scan.
Item Type: Cultivation Pill
Quality: Top-Tier Perfection
Pill Pattern: 9 Heavenly Veins
Eclipsed Samsara Rebirth Pill
Grade: 6th Grade
Classification: Soul-Healing / Heavenly Insight Pill
Seeing the results, even Lin Xiao Tian became visibly shocked.
A sixth-grade pill possessing nine heavenly vein patterns was already considered an absurd treasure in the outside world.
Yet what truly shocked him was the system valuation appearing afterward. 180,000 Points.
Even with everything he currently possessed, such a number remained completely unreachable for him right now.
Still, the shock within his eyes quickly transformed into relief afterward at least Miao-Miao finally had hope now.
As the rich fragrance of the pill continued spreading through the pavilion, Lin Xiao Tian slowly nodded before immediately waving his sleeve.
The surrounding space distorted slightly and in the next instant, both he and Tian Jian Wun directly appeared inside a quiet cultivation chamber deep within the sect.
Dense spiritual energy quietly flowed throughout the room while countless formation runes glowed faintly across the walls.
At the center of the chamber, Tianhe sat cross-legged silently cultivating while a deep draconic aura occasionally leaked from his body.
Not far from him Miao-Miao quietly rested upon a jade bed, her pale face illuminated softly beneath the chamber light while faint traces of unstable spiritual energy occasionally flickered around her sleeping body.
As they entered the cultivation chamber, the disturbance immediately woke Tianhe from his cultivation.
The draconic aura surrounding his body slowly settled down as he hurriedly stood up before bowing respectfully toward Lin Xiao Tian.
"Sect Master."
Lin Xiao Tian calmly nodded toward him before shifting his gaze toward Tian Jian Wun.
"Well then, Third Elder," he said quietly. "It is your time to work."
Hearing those words, Tian Jian Wun could not help smiling faintly.
The title of Third Elder sounded strangely unfamiliar to him, yet for some reason, it also carried an unusual warmth within it.
Without wasting further time, he slowly stepped toward the jade bed where Miao-Miao rested.
The chamber gradually quieted afterward.
Tianhe’s gaze remained firmly fixed on Miao-Miao while tension slowly appeared across his face once again.
Meanwhile, Tian Jian Wun carefully removed the Eclipsed Samsara Rebirth Pill from the jade bottle.
The moment the pill appeared completely, the surrounding spiritual energy instantly became restless.
Dense medicinal fragrance spread throughout the cultivation chamber while faint golden patterns flickered across the pill surface continuously like living veins.
Even Tianhe instinctively held his breath after sensing the terrifying medicinal power contained within it.
Tian Jian Wun slowly lifted Miao-Miao slightly before gently placing the pill into her mouth.
The instant the pill entered her body—
Boom.
A powerful medicinal aura instantly erupted outward from Miao-Miao’s body.
Golden spiritual light spread rapidly across her meridians while the unstable draconic energy surrounding her immediately began fluctuating violently.
The surrounding formation arrays lit up one after another as spiritual energy surged throughout the entire chamber.
Tianhe’s expression immediately changed slightly seeing the sudden eruption.
But Tian Jian Wun calmly raised one hand before suppressing the overflowing aura completely.
"Do not panic," he said quietly.
As the medicinal power continued spreading throughout Miao-Miao’s body, the unstable pressure around her gradually began calming down.
The earlier chaotic draconic aura slowly stabilized while a far more natural flow of spiritual energy started circulating throughout her meridians.
Lin Xiao Tian quietly observed everything from the side while the tension within his eyes slowly eased slightly.
Then finally—
Miao-Miao’s eyelids slowly fluttered.
Seeing this, Tianhe’s eyes instantly widened.
"Junior Sister..."
His voice carried visible excitement for the first time in many days.
As Miao-Miao gradually awakened, the unstable pressure continuously building inside her body suddenly reached its limit.
Pop.
A strange muffled sound echoed softly throughout the chamber.
The suffocating pressure surrounding her instantly dispersed afterward as if some invisible blockage had completely shattered apart.
In the next instant, Miao-Miao suddenly opened her eyes completely.
For several moments, her expression remained blank and disoriented while she slowly looked around the chamber.
Then her gaze suddenly landed on Tian Jian Wun standing beside her with dragon eyes and horns visible openly.
Her entire body instantly stiffened.
"AH—!"
Miao-Miao nearly screamed out loud as she subconsciously grabbed the blanket tightly while staring toward him in complete alarm.
