Chapter 108 Yu Jiuyou's Guidance
After comforting Qin Yanan, Lin Xiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Back then, Qin Yanan was so full of vigor and ambition.
Such an extraordinary woman should not have suffered what she has today.
Losing her cultivation level seemed to be a significant blow to her.
Perhaps I should try to find a way to help Qin Yanan restore her cultivation.
Of course, this wouldn't work in the real world.
If we want to restore Qin Yanan's cultivation, perhaps we can start with the game.
Lin Xiao thought of what Lin Qishuang had experienced before.
It seems that only the Cangxuan Realm might have a solution.
With this in mind, Lin Xiao decided to ask Yu Jiuyou in his dream that night to see if he could get a way to restore or repair the body or some kind of medicine.
That night, Lin Xiao entered the Cangxuan Realm again.
Without much hesitation, Lin Xiao went straight to the outside of the Netherworld Palace.
Yu Jiuyou has always been aloof, and most of the disciples of the Netherworld Sect also cultivate in seclusion.
Therefore, on ordinary days, only Yu Jiuyou resides in this main hall.
Lin Xiao stepped into the main hall, while Yu Jiuyou remained lying in her chair, holding a tablet computer and continuing to watch her favorite shows.
Yu Jiuyou showed no reaction to Lin Xiao's arrival.
Lin Xiao didn't mind, and simply bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
"What, what kind of idiotic question are you going to ask today?" Yu Jiuyou's lazy voice rang out in the hall without even looking up.
In the past few days, in order to deal with the problems of the Celestial Masters Sect, Lin Xiao has been asking Yu Jiuyou questions in his dreams almost every day.
Moreover, it was all about basic rune usage over and over again, which had already annoyed Yu Jiuyou.
He didn't even bother to lift his eyelids; his fingertips were still rapidly swiping across the tablet screen, clearly engrossed in the chase.
Lin Xiao was already used to his attitude and showed no displeasure whatsoever.
Instead, he stepped forward, his tone more solemn and urgent than usual, and said, "My lord, today is not about the runes, but about a personal matter that I humbly request your assistance."
Yu Jiuyou then slightly raised her eyes, her narrow phoenix eyes sweeping over Lin Xiao, a hint of impatience and curiosity in them as she said:
"Personal matters? What personal matters could you possibly need me to handle? Have you gotten yourself into some trouble and want me to clean up your mess?"
As she spoke, she lowered her head again, tapped the screen with her finger, and unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth.
Clearly, they've caught up with the exciting part of the plot.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed his anxiety, and slowly said:
"My lord, I have a close friend who was once a cultivator, but her spiritual roots and cultivation were destroyed. Now she is just an ordinary person, suffering endless bullying. I wonder if you have any way to restore her cultivation?"
He spoke slowly but earnestly, briefly recounting Qin Yanan's ordeal.
Upon hearing that her spiritual root cultivation had been "abolished," Yu Jiuyou finally stopped what she was doing.
She raised her head, the languidness in her eyes fading slightly, replaced by a hint of seriousness, and said:
"Spiritual roots are the foundation of cultivation. Once they are broken and the meridians are damaged, even the top alchemists in the Cangxuan Realm will find it difficult to reverse the damage, and ordinary pills will be of no use."
Lin Xiao's heart sank instantly, her fingers clenched involuntarily, and her voice carried a hint of resentment as she said:
"Is there really no way at all? She was a spirited girl who shouldn't have lived her whole life as an ordinary person and shouldn't have had to suffer those injustices."
"My lord, the Netherworld Sect has a profound foundation, and you are knowledgeable and experienced; you must have a way, right?"
He stared intently at Yu Jiuyou, his eyes filled with pleading.
This was Qin Yanan's only hope, and even though Yu Jiuyou's tone was cold and the hope was slim, he was unwilling to give up.
Looking at the obsession in his eyes, Yu Jiuyou remained silent for a moment before slowly sitting up from the chair.
His long black robe hung loosely, and although his tone remained cool, it carried a hint of solemnity as he spoke:
"There are solutions, but they are too difficult and extremely risky."
If she is not careful, not only will she not be able to recover, but her meridians will be completely severed, rendering her a cripple, or even costing her her life.
Lin Xiao immediately spoke, his tone unwavering: "As long as there is even a sliver of hope, I am willing to try."
No matter the cost, no matter how dangerous, I can bear it all, I only ask that you tell me how.
Yu Jiuyou raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that Lin Xiao would be so resolute.
A strange glint flashed in her eyes, then she asked with feigned curiosity, "Oh, what's your relationship with this friend?"
Lin Xiao blushed slightly upon hearing this.
Then his gaze softened with unwavering gentleness and determination, and he slowly said:
"She is not just an ordinary friend to me, but someone I want to protect with all my might."
When I was in danger, she risked everything to help me; now that she's an ordinary person, suffering all kinds of bullying, I naturally can't abandon her.
He didn't go into details about the entanglement between the two, but every word he uttered revealed deep affection and unwavering devotion.
He thought of Qin Yanan's willingness to marry Long Jingyuan to save him, the despair she felt when her cultivation was abolished, and the grievances she felt when she was looked down upon in the Celestial Masters Sect. Lin Xiao felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Oh?" Yu Jiuyou's curiosity intensified, and a playful smile appeared on her lips.
"I didn't realize you were such a loyal and righteous person."
"Fine, considering your obsession, I'll tell you in detail how to restore her cultivation."
Lin Xiao was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply and saying, "Please tell me, my lord, I would be eternally grateful!"
Yu Jiuyou waved her hand, her tone regaining some of its coolness, but still carrying a hint of impatience:
"Don't bow so often, it's annoying. To restore your broken spiritual root and damaged meridians, you need two things, and you can't do without either one."
"I wonder what it is?!" Lin Xiao's expression lit up with joy upon hearing this.
She paused, then slowly said, "The first one is the Rejuvenation Pill."
This pill is a secret pill passed down from the Netherworld Sect. It can repair damaged meridians and nourish broken spiritual roots. Even if a spiritual root is broken down to only a trace of its foundation, it can be revitalized.
However, the method for refining this Rejuvenation Pill has long been lost, and the main ingredient for refining this pill, 'Netherworld Grass,' is almost extinct in the Cangxuan Realm. Perhaps only in the depths of the Netherworld Abyss can a few still be found.
"The Netherworld Abyss?" Lin Xiao repeated the name in a low voice, secretly memorizing it.
"My lord, is this Netherworld Abyss extremely dangerous?"
"Of course." Yu Jiuyou nodded, her tone carrying a hint of reminder.
"The Netherworld Abyss is one of the most dangerous places in the Cangxuan Realm. It is home not only to powerful Netherworld beasts, but also to Netherworld miasma that can corrode spiritual roots and sever cultivation. Even Golden Core cultivators may not be able to come out alive if they step into it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's gaze remained unwavering, instead growing even more resolute as he said:
"No matter how dangerous it is, I must go. As long as I can find the Nether Grass and restore her cultivation, I have no fear."
Yu Jiuyou looked at him, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes, but she still stubbornly said:
"He does have some backbone, but he's too stupid."
The second item is "Spiritual Marrow Liquid," which is the essence of ancient spiritual veins. It can reshape spiritual roots, completely restore damaged spiritual roots, and even make them stronger than before.
However, this spiritual essence liquid is extremely rare, and it can only possibly exist in the ancient secret realm of the Cangxuan Realm, the "Spirit Void Secret Realm."
"The Spirit Void Secret Realm?" Lin Xiao noted down another name.
"Is this secret realm also dangerous?"
"Nonsense." Yu Jiuyou rolled her eyes, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"What ancient secret realm isn't dangerous? The Lingxu Secret Realm has been sealed for a long time, and it is full of traps and ancient guardian beasts. Moreover, the opening time of the secret realm is uncertain, and entering it depends entirely on luck."
At this point, she looked at Lin Xiao, her tone becoming more serious:
"Let me remind you one more time: finding either of these two items is a near-certain death sentence."
Moreover, even if you find these two things, you can't make the pill without the method to refine it.
Even if a resurrection pill were refined, there would be extreme risks involved in consuming it. A slight mistake could sever all meridians and cause the soul to dissipate. Are you sure you want to continue?
Lin Xiao nodded emphatically without the slightest hesitation, his tone extremely solemn:
"I'm sure. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I won't give up."
"My lord, I know the road ahead is fraught with danger, but I have no choice. I must restore her cultivation and protect her."
Yu Jiuyou looked at the resolute look in his eyes and remained silent for a moment.
Randomly raised his hand and waved it slowly, and a jade slip with a faint blue light, a small jade bottle, and an ancient booklet slowly landed in Lin Xiao's hand.
"This jade slip is a simplified map of the Netherworld Abyss, marking some relatively safe areas that can help you avoid some powerful monsters and miasma."
Yu Jiuyou spoke in a languid tone, but with less impatience, and continued, "The jade bottle contains a Cleansing Pill. Taking one will allow you to resist the miasma of the Netherworld Abyss for three hours."
As for this booklet, I found it by chance. It contains incomplete methods for refining the Resurrection Pill. Although it's not complete, it might be helpful to you.
Lin Xiao gripped the object tightly in his hand, his heart filled with gratitude, and bowed deeply to Yu Jiuyou, saying:
"Thank you so much, sir! Words cannot express my gratitude. If you ever need anything in the future, I, Lin Xiao, will do anything, even die for you!"
He never expected that Yu Jiuyou, who seemed cold and aloof, would be so different.
He was deeply grateful for the unexpected help he received this time.
Yu Jiuyou waved her hand, picked up the tablet again, and said without looking up:
"Don't give me that. I just don't want you to miss out on watching your show because of this."
Also, let me remind you, your cultivation level is too low right now. Rushing into the Netherworld Abyss and the Spirit Void Secret Realm will only lead to your death.
"I understand." Lin Xiao nodded and carefully put away the jade slip, jade bottle, and booklet.
Yu Jiuyou ignored him and quickly swiped her finger across the tablet screen.
A smile returned to his lips, clearly indicating that the plot had reached another exciting point.
Silence returned to the main hall, with only the faint sound from the tablet computer remaining.
Seeing Yu Jiuyou engrossed in watching the drama, Lin Xiao didn't disturb her any further.
Soon, Lin Xiao left the Cangxuan Realm.
