In the Assembly Hall, Li Xiaonan sat at the head of the table, his expression cold as he looked at everyone. "You ancestors, say something!"
"Xiao Nan... sigh... Master... now I finally understand why Master suddenly appointed you to inherit his position. He must know that his time is short..." Mei Chunhui shook his head.
"Enough! Put away your imagination. I just want one answer: is there any way to save him?" Li Xiaonan couldn't care less about offending his ancestors and shouted angrily.
The elders of the Mei Family exchanged glances, shaking their heads in unison.
Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow, his index finger pressed against his forehead in deep thought.
These old friends have eaten more salt than I have taken elixirs; if they say there’s no hope, then it seems my brother truly has no hope...
He stood up and paced back and forth before speaking. "Ancestors, move all the pills that replenish True Essence from Cloud Sky Pavilion to the Meditation Room."
"This... no pill can cure Master right now, Master..." Mei Chunhui frowned slightly, clearly referring to Li Xiaonan with his last mention of Master.
Li Xiaonan shot him a fierce glare. "Shut up! As long as my brother is alive, he is still the Master of Cloud Sky Pavilion. The pills are not for him; I have my own use for them. Just move them to the Meditation Room!"
Li Xiaonan slowly exhaled a breath of frustration and closed his eyes.
Immortals have long transcended the three realms; even if I wish to keep my brother's soul here, I cannot.
When one's lifespan ends, their soul disperses. Right now, there is only one method that might work.
Before my brother dies, I could send his soul back to Earth in 2008; perhaps that way he could be saved... but he probably doesn’t want to go back now...
What a twist of fate...
Enough, now is not the time to sigh in despair. I must quickly recover my cultivation; otherwise, everything will be meaningless!
Li Xiaonan suddenly opened his eyes wide, flicked his sleeves, and walked toward the Meditation Room.
“Xiao Nan!”
As soon as he stepped out, Yun Moyu rushed into his arms, crying like a rain-soaked flower. His heart felt like it was shattering.
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly and gently stroked her hair. “Silly girl, don’t cry. I’m here; everything will be fine.”
“Daddy… he… sob sob…”
He tightly embraced Yun Moyu’s slender shoulders and pressed a kiss on her forehead, softly saying, “Everything will pass… With me here, you have nothing to fear.”
With swollen eyes, Yun Moyu looked at him and said, “Xiao Nan, promise me… you will never leave me. I don’t want to spend my life like mother did, waiting in pain forever. Promise me you will never abandon me. If you must die, then take me with you…”
“What nonsense are you talking about, silly girl? Don’t worry; I promise you I’ll be fine. Big Brother will be fine too.”
He put on a confident smile that radiated security, like a calming pill.
But the moment he turned away, the smile vanished without a trace, and even those words turned into lies.
Li Xiaonan arrived alone at the Meditation Room, where the vast space was now filled with elixirs.
He walked straight to a chest, opened a jade bottle, and a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air, permeating the entire room.
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and tilted his head back to swallow one bottle of elixir after another—first the second bottle, then the third...
This was the only method that Li Xiaonan could think of at this moment: to flood his numb body with a large quantity of elixirs.
It was either to explode from within or to regain his cultivation! There was no third option!
In the blink of an eye, he had consumed an entire box of elixirs, totaling at least a thousand pills.
Li Xiaonan sat cross-legged, sensing the changes in his body.
His chaotic vision seemed to gradually clear, and a network of golden veins was writing a magnificent map within him.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "This method works! My brother is saved!"
He quickly got up and opened all the sandalwood boxes in the room.
For a full two hours, Li Xiaonan did nothing but continuously feed himself elixirs. By the time he swallowed the last pill, he let out a groan and collapsed onto the ground.
The skin exposed to the air began to redden, and crimson blood vessels became distinctly visible on his face.
"Ugh..." Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow, his body involuntarily trembling.
A tremendous force was wreaking havoc within him, yet a smile crept onto his lips, creating an inexplicable expression on his face that resembled a roasted pig's head.
Li Xiaonan finally sensed the existence of the meridians clearly and felt the Golden Yuan Power flowing within them.
Yes! He had Golden Yuan Power again!
What disappointed him was that he still did not possess Yuan Ying.
Dantian Purple Palace was engulfed in chaos.
The vast celestial elixir he had consumed transformed into pure Celestial Aura, striking every corner of his body.
He bit his lip tightly, collapsing to the ground, rolling in agony and groaning.
The impact of the Celestial Aura caused his body to swell, as if he would explode at any moment.
"Ahhh!" Li Xiaonan could no longer suppress the pain that felt like his body was being torn apart. He roared and stood up abruptly, white mist dispersing from within him.
Gasping for breath, he looked around the wreckage of the Meditation Room. His legs gave way, and he laughed as he knelt on the ground.
"Big... Brother... wait... for me..."
Li Xiaonan could sense his own Spirit Platform. The Spirit Tree bore abundant, glowing Crimson Fruits, which were truly beautiful.
He finally realized that his cultivation had not been lost; it had merely been hidden for some unknown reason.
The only way to unlock it was through the external supplement of Celestial Aura, namely the elixir.
Struggling to rise, he summoned the little Golden Yuan Power he had left and flew out of the Meditation Room.
Elixirs! As long as he had enough elixirs, he could restore his cultivation and use spatial perception to save his brother!
He flew onward but did not see a single ancestor of the Mei Family.
A gentle breeze caressed the soft willow branches, and willow fluff swirled continuously in the air.
The scene before him was reminiscent of when Li Xiaonan first arrived at the Starry Illusion Continent, and he couldn't help but be lost in thought, halting his hurried steps.
Under the willow tree, Yun Xinghe sat on a chair, flanked by two women, a faint smile gracing his lips.
For the first time, Li Xiaonan felt that a smile could be a sharp sword, piercing his heart like a hornet's nest.
Yun Moyu leaned down and softly asked, "Father, would you like to drink some Jade Dew?"
Yun Xinghe nodded, his narrow eyes soft like the bright moon in the sky.
Yun Moyu carefully held a jade cup and brought it to Yun Xinghe's lips.
Li Xiaonan sighed lightly; the gentle Yun Moyu was beautiful, but this kind of beauty was enough to break his heart.
He clenched his fists secretly, his figure swaying as he flew directly to the Alchemy Pavilion, just in time to see Mei Qingdan refining pills. He exclaimed urgently, "Grandfather!"
"Xiao Nan, what brings you here?"
"I need elixirs—lots of elixirs!"
Mei Chunhui entered the Alchemy Pavilion with a stack of medicinal herbs and frowned. "All the stock from Cloud Sky Pavilion has been sent to the Meditation Room. Isn't that enough?"
"What? All of it?" Li Xiaonan was taken aback. Indeed, he had just consumed nearly a million pills, but if this was all the elixirs from Cloud Sky Pavilion, then it was truly insufficient.
Furrowing his brows, he looked at Mei Chunhui and said, "It's not enough. I need at least double that amount to restore my cultivation and save my brother."
Mei Chunhui was startled and decisively said, "In that case, I'll have all the stores under Cloud Sky Pavilion cease operations and send all the elixirs here!"
Li Xiaonan pondered for a moment, a thought flashing through his mind.
He shook his head and said, "No need, I have my own way."
With a flicker of movement, he directly teleported into Yuan Xian'er's room.
"Xiao Nan?" Yuan Xian'er was startled and then pleasantly surprised to see Li Xiaonan suddenly appear.
Li Xiaonan looked around and, seeing that she was alone, quickly took her hand and said, "My dear Xian'er, can you help me with something?"
"Silly, just tell me what you need me to do," Yuan Xian'er replied with a smile, her golden hairpin Buxiao swaying slightly.
All the tokens of affection that Li Xiaonan had given to the girls had vanished during the time travel. Although they felt reluctant, they were just glad that their beloved Xiao Nan had returned.
Li Xiaonan pressed his lips together and said, "I want to sneak into Golden Jade Good Fortune and steal some elixirs."
"Steal elixirs?"
"Yes, not only do I want to take everything from the shop, but I also plan to empty out their warehouse!"
"Sounds great! I haven't stolen anything in a while; my hands are itching for it! I'll go with you!" Yuan Xian'er exclaimed excitedly.
"Then let's go now!" Li Xiaonan pulled Yuan Xian'er's hand and dashed out.
At that moment, Lu Nishang happened to come looking for Yuan Xian'er. Watching the two leave, she couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.
Isn't that Brother Xiaonan and Xian'er? They seem to be in quite a hurry. Where are they off to?
Since returning, Brother Xiaonan hasn't spoken to me at all. Is he angry with me?
No, I can't keep this from Brother Xiaonan any longer. I need to tell him everything I know and seek his forgiveness.
She lightly bit her lip and stealthily followed behind them.
Li Xiaonan kept moving, and just as the last trace of Golden Yuan Power within her was exhausted, she and Yuan Xian'er arrived at their destination.
The storefront of Golden Jade Good Fortune was quite upscale, but Li Xiaonan didn't care about that.
She directly took Yuan Xian'er's hand and walked into the main hall.
Intricately carved jade vases were neatly arranged on the shelves. This open, supermarket-like business model greatly facilitated Yuan Xian'er’s actions.
She smiled gently at Li Xiaonan, approached the shelves, and extended her delicate fingers to lightly brush over each jade vase.
The shopkeeper assumed she was just browsing and paid her little mind.
After Yuan Xian'er finished her round, the entire Golden Jade Good Fortune had been thoroughly emptied by her; all the elixirs had found their way into her bag.
She smiled as she took Li Xiaonan's hand and said, "Here!"
Li Xiaonan immediately sensed that his Soul Ring had accumulated many elixirs, piled up like a small mountain.
He grinned and held onto Yuan Xian'er’s hand tightly, saying, "Let’s go find a place to sit and watch the show."
The two of them arrived at a teahouse diagonally across from Golden Jade Good Fortune, sipping fragrant tea and exchanging silly smiles.
Before long, a commotion erupted from inside Golden Jade Good Fortune.
"You folks at Golden Jade Good Fortune are really lacking in credibility! I spent Celestial Stones and ended up with an empty bottle. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I'm not leaving!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied, "Please don't be anxious, my friend. I'll exchange it for you right away."
He stretched out his right hand, and a jade bottle landed in his palm. Upon opening it, the shopkeeper couldn't help but frown; it was completely empty.
He hastily set the jade bottle down, waved his hand, and ten more jade bottles flew towards him from the shelves. He opened each one, but not a single elixir was found. He stood there in shock.
"Hey, say something!" the burly man complained.
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This is double the Celestial Stones. The shop won't be conducting business today; please leave."
With that, he ushered the customers out of Golden Jade Good Fortune and closed the door firmly.
Li Xiaonan winked at Yuan Xian'er and took out a white veil to hang by her ear.
"My dear wife, let's go have some fun, but we can't let anyone see that pretty face of yours. Let's go!"
Yuan Xian'er nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
