128: Section 128

After Chu Zhengxiong finished speaking, Captain Han Bin stood there as if turned to stone.

His foot, already mid-stride, remained suspended in the air, unable to land.

After a long while, he gasped sharply.

"Hiss... Damn, Old Chu, are you saying that Lin Yi and the Old Master might be..."

Before Captain Han Bin could finish, Chu Zhengxiong raised his hand to his lips in a shushing gesture.

"Some things are better left known only to oneself; spelling them out ruins the fun!"

"Besides, this is the Old Master's family business. It's not our place to speculate. Just wait. It's better to wait for the Old Master to say it himself than for us outsiders to blurt it out!"

With those words, Chu Zhengxiong laughed heartily and walked toward a jeep.

Captain Han Bin immediately chased after him: "Alright, Old Chu, I never realized that despite your usual careless demeanor, you're actually quite meticulous!"

"Who's careless? Who are you calling careless? Do you believe I'll beat the hell out of you?"

Captain Han Bin: "..."

Chapter 109: Mom, Come Quick, Look at the Immortal!

The sky gradually brightened.

The darkness dissipated completely.

A cool breeze blew, lifting plastic bags and cardboard boxes into the air.

Some scavengers carried bags, rummaging through trash cans for something.

Occasionally, one could see sanitation workers in uniforms sweeping the streets with brooms.

Buses pulled away from stops, beginning a busy day of work.

Small trucks set out into the morning light...

Danqing Studio.

Chu Zhengxiong, Captain Han Bin, and Captain Mo Ya had just left.

The Old Master arrived in person.

"How is he?"

Looking at Lin Yi, who was still lying on the bed without showing signs of waking, the Old Master's eyes were filled with worry.

Tang Qinru sighed softly: "His Qi is chaotic, and his internal organs have sustained damage. I have already treated him with acupuncture. After this night, his Qi has stabilized!"

The Old Master nodded gently and walked to the bedside to look at Lin Yi.

Soon, his eyes became bloodshot, filling the whites of his eyes entirely.

Tears gradually blurred his vision as he reached out with his aged hand to gently stroke Lin Yi's forehead.

Tang Qinru, standing to the side, did not feel any surprise.

After a long while, the moment the Old Master withdrew his hand, he reached into his robe and took out an exquisitely crafted small box.

"Give this to him!"

Tang Qinru was stunned and quickly took the wooden box to open it.

Her expression changed drastically.

"Three Treasures Origin Return Pill?"

The Old Master nodded slightly: "Let him take it. This Medicinal Pill can save his life!"

"But... this Three Treasures Origin Return Pill is the Legacy treasure of the Yi Family. Having it means the Yi Family has an extra chance at life. Are you really going to give this pill to..."

Tang Qinru was deeply shocked.

This [Three Treasures Origin Return Pill] had been passed down through the Yi Family for generations and kept to this day.

Legend has it that it was a Medicinal Pill refined by someone who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

Taking it could extend one's life.

It could easily resolve any injury or poison.

It even had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

For a long time, the Yi Family had carefully preserved this Medicinal Pill, waiting for a time of crisis to use it to save a life.

That the Old Master would take out such a precious pill to save Lin Yi, how could Tang Qinru not be shocked?

The Old Master nodded and said with a calm expression: "He is Xiao Qing's child. Back then, I couldn't protect Xiao Qing. Now, how could I let her child leave me again?"

"This Medicinal Pill is only a treasure if it is used. If it is not used... what is the point?"

"Give it to him. As long as he can live, it is worth it!"

After the Old Master said this nonchalantly, he looked at Lin Yi lying there with a kind and gentle gaze.

He completely disregarded the priceless [Three Treasures Origin Return Pill].

To him, perhaps this pill was far less important than Lin Yi's life at this moment.

After a while, Tang Qinru nodded.

She carefully took the Medicinal Pill out of the box.

Just as she was about to feed it to Lin Yi, suddenly, Lin Yi's body became scalding hot.

Wisps of white smoke rose, as if he had been cooked in an instant.

Just when the Old Master and Tang Qinru were feeling incredibly shocked, they saw Lin Yi surrounded by a golden light.

Immediately after, strings of runes floated around Lin Yi, hovering unsteadily.

"What is going on?"

The Old Master's expression changed greatly as he carefully watched the changes in Lin Yi's body.

Even Tang Qinru was a bit bewildered.

She shook her head and said: "This, is this some kind of Cultivation Technique?"

The Old Master did not speak, carefully observing the anomaly occurring on Lin Yi.

However, they did not know that at this moment, Lin Yi was in the middle of a galaxy.

Bursts of Dao sounds had awakened him.

The moment Lin Yi regained consciousness, seeing the surrounding environment put him at ease.

"Did I fall asleep?"

Although Lin Yi was a bit puzzled, waking up to find himself in a familiar place naturally allowed him to feel at peace.

Suddenly, he heard the previously ethereal and elusive Dao sounds becoming closer and closer.

Before this, those Dao sounds seemed to come from beyond the Nine Heavens, from the peak of the firmament.

But now, they seemed to be no more than a hundred meters away.

Moreover, he heard clearly that it was an old voice preaching the Dao.

Next, Lin Yi discovered that the golden runes around his body were increasing.

The next moment, they all submerged into his body.

When the runes first entered his body, they were like cool water droplets, darting around inside him.

Wherever they passed, they brought a sense of exhilaration.

His previously chaotic Qi and blood gradually stabilized.

And his injured areas were also gradually being repaired...

Only then did Lin Yi understand that these runes were repairing his internal injuries.

He quickly sat cross-legged and allowed the golden runes to repair his injuries.

Time passed minute by minute.

Perhaps it was only a few minutes, or perhaps a few hours had passed?

As the Dao sounds gradually drifted away, returning as if to beyond the Nine Heavens, the sensation of cool water droplets inside his body also gradually weakened.

Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes and saw that in the galaxy, those stars seemed to outline a human figure.

Lin Yi looked at the image in surprise.

A person wearing ancient Daoist robes was sitting cross-legged in the air.
