Capítulo 1538: Chapter 1539: Back to Square One Overnight
“To be honest, I don’t know what this black bead is. It’s always been mysterious, existing inside me. All my cultivation power comes from it; I don’t have a dantian myself.”
Lin Yifan revealed this shocking secret, leaving everyone stunned.
“What? You actually don’t have a dantian?”
Everyone exploded, realizing that it wasn’t Lin Yifan who was strong in the past, but the black bead, and they had all been deceived.
“Indeed, I truly don’t have one!”
Lin Yifan answered honestly.
Now that the black bead’s matter was known to everyone, there was nothing left to hide, so he chose to come clean.
“So what do we do now? Is our daughter never coming back?” An Qi’s parents questioned angrily in front of everyone.
“Uncle and Aunt, please don’t worry, maybe there’s still something in this world that can uncover this secret,” Lin Yifan reassured.
“What is it?”
“The Seven-Colored Immortal Ring!”
“Seven-Colored Immortal Ring?”
The term wasn’t unfamiliar. It was because of this ring that the Medicine Saint came to the wedding to take Lin Yifan’s life, so they remembered the ring vividly.
However, ever since the Medicine Saint died, they hadn’t seen the ring again, so they didn’t know where the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring was now.
“Do you know where the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring is?” Lin Yifan asked.
That day, he handed the ring to the Medicine Saint and hadn’t gotten it back since he became demonized, so he was very curious about its whereabouts.
“No idea!”
Everyone shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know.
“Where did the Medicine Saint die?” Lin Yifan pursued.
The Seven-Colored Immortal Ring was in the Medicine Saint’s hand, so by finding his body, they should be able to find the ring.
Everyone continued to shake their heads because they truly did not know where the Medicine Saint died. They hadn’t followed back then, and the news of the Medicine Saint’s death only came after Lin Yifan returned with his head.
“I know!”
At this moment, Fangfang stepped forward and answered.
She was the only witness that day, and only she knew where the Medicine Saint died.
“Fangfang? Are you alright?”
Seeing Fangfang’s figure, Lin Yifan was a bit surprised.
He had thought Fangfang was killed by the Medicine Saint since, after becoming demonized, he wouldn’t care about any threats from the Medicine Saint.
“I’m fine.”
Fangfang spoke softly, keeping her head down the whole time, not daring to face Lin Yifan.
Seeing Fangfang in this state and noticing her position, Lin Yifan roughly understood why Fangfang kept her head down.
Although the disaster that day wasn’t caused by her, she contributed to it, so it’s no wonder her family rejected her, pushing her into a corner.
He had no regrets saving Fangfang, and he should bear this unpredictable consequence alone. Without his decision back then, none of these events would have occurred today.
“You said you know where the Medicine Saint died, is that true?”
“True! I followed that day, wanting to kill him, but you got to him first,” Fangfang reluctantly answered.
“Could you really have killed him?”
Lin Yifan was amused by Fangfang’s action.
The gap in strength between Fangfang and the Medicine Saint was vast. Even a hundred Fangfangs wouldn’t be his match, so her action was undoubtedly courting death. However, her intention was commendable.
“I don’t know, I just knew I had to avenge Sister An Qi and all the innocent people hurt,”
Fangfang answered firmly, word for word, with the most genuine thoughts she had at the time.
This statement moved everyone present. Knowing she wasn’t strong enough, yet willing to take on the impossible showed her heart was with them.
Unconsciously, everyone’s perspective of Fangfang shifted significantly.
Perhaps it wasn’t truly Fangfang’s fault; in fact, she was helpless too and wanted to stop the Medicine Saint’s misdeeds; she simply lacked the power to restrain him.
“Did you take the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring?” Lin Yifan asked.
“No, I saw it caused too much conflict and felt it was an ominous object, so I left it alone,” Fangfang replied.
“That’s troublesome. If it falls into someone else’s hands, who knows when we’ll find it!”
“Yifan, don’t worry, the Medicine Saint died in a tranquil pool. No one should be able to find him!”
On that day, after Lin Yifan demonized, he snapped the Medicine Saint’s neck above a tranquil pool, causing the body below the head to fall into the pool due to loss of weight.
“Really?”
Lin Yifan was overjoyed; if it were as Fangfang said, the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring could still be found. The water of the tranquil pool was not flowing, so everything could be well preserved in the short term.
“Yes!” Fangfang nodded.
“Then take me to find it quickly!” Lin Yifan couldn’t wait any longer, eager to unveil the mystery.
“Okay!”
Fangfang didn’t waste any time and immediately led Lin Yifan to find it.
At this moment, An Qi’s parents stopped Lin Yifan out of curiosity, “Xiaofan, what is this Seven-Colored Immortal Ring that only it can reveal the secret of the black bead?”
“This matter traces back to ancient times. I just want to find it now. Once we find it, all problems will be resolved,” Lin Yifan replied.
With these words, the family was reassured. An Qi wasn’t lost or beyond saving.
The search for the Immortal Ring didn’t require the whole family; only a person to lead, and a major figure to protect. So Fangfang, Lin Yifan, and Xuji True Master set out, while the rest stayed behind waiting for good news.
With the black bead having left his body, Lin Yifan discovered that he truly had no cultivation power inside him. This had been his biggest concern all along.
He had thought of developing a dantian, just in case. But he had been too busy trying to elevate his realm, so he delayed it, and now he regretted it.
The former mighty king now needed his woman to carry him through the skies. Just thinking about it made him laugh.
To think, he used to carry Fangfang flying, never imagining he would fall to such a state.
“Fangfang! I’ve turned out like this, would you still want me?”
“My life was saved by you; even if you couldn’t get out of bed or walk today, I would stay with you and take care of you for life.”
This sweet talk was heartwarming, showing his efforts in rescuing her hadn’t gone to waste.
Xuji True Master found these cheesy declarations uncomfortable and decided to distance himself from the pair.
Watching this scene, Lin Yifan and Fangfang exchanged a knowing smile and then went silent.
Under Fangfang’s guidance, it wasn’t long before they arrived above a remote forest on the outskirts of Yanjing.
In the forest, there was a tranquil pool, which was the Medicine Saint’s burial site.
