Yan Renhuo was on her mountain peak ditating in front of a cauldron. Her breathing was steady and her qi was running smoothly.
In her lap was a halberd that stretches out to two and a half ters in length. It was a halberd that was long even for its kind.
The halberd was no weapon of elegance but of mass destruction. Yan Renhuo was no woman who values elegance but power and valiance. She views differently and if she can achieve power by using unpolished and unpolished ans, Yan Renhuo will gladly jump in.
She was a woman who seeks power and being as talented and valued as she was, the clan and academy she belongs to cherishes her greatly. She was given the chance to choose a future companion herself.
Most won of the cultivation worlds especially those of bigger clans exist rely for the strengthening of the clan's powers. They are sacrificial pawns for the thing they call the betternt of the masses mainly the na and standing of the clan.
Thankfully she born with talent and beca the disciple of the Fla Mistress who was one of the Grand Elders in the Ancient Scripture Academy.
Everything was perfect for her, but one thing remained a void for her. Her heart was incomplete.
She had walked a path striving for power to show her worth that she lost sight of what she wanted and being a woman. In her younger years before she was considered as a Monstrous Genius, she would constantly listen to stories of maidens falling in love.
When she was young, she too wanted to experience such a thing, but because her sight was too focus on her goals, she didn't get to form any connection or bond to any n.
When she turned twenty-one years old, she tried looking for soone who had worth to walk the path of power just like her, but to her dismay, all her suitors were pussies and cowards. They had no balls to even do anything.
Two years later after her cultivation suddenly stagnated as her heart beca restless of having to walk a lonely path and having an end just like her master. Yan Renhuo traveled to the Blazing Skies Continent to rest her mind.
It was then that she t the only person who she saw the values of a true man she had been searching for. Fearless, gallant, powerful, and unfathomable.
So, she invited him to beco her dao companion without thinking much of it. With her experience of being asked to be their partner, Yan Renhuo already envisioned that that man will accept her offer.
Yet it was a direct rejection and the youth she saw that day didn't even have to think twice about rejecting her offer.
Other matters happened here and there but even as they t ti and ti again, that youth never gave him a look other than a look of interest. But that interest stemd at the fact that she was genius at the path of alchemy.
She was long aware of that youth's intention. But in her heart, she was not going to give up and will one day have that youth standing beside her. She opened her eyes and tightly held the halberd in her hand.
She abruptly stood and swung the halberd, the air pressure from the halberd was so great that a small scale whirlwind caused havoc inside the room she was in.
"Huu!" She exhaled and her eyes showed a fire that was stronger than what she usually shows.
"My cultivation has been improving, my path is solidifying after learning of Wang Ling's existence. It seems like Master's words were correct."
In the past, when her cultivation stagnated because of her fear of being alone, her master said that finding soone might solidify her path once again.
At the mont, she was the at half-step dominion realm, her cultivation was continuously improving as her heart beca at ease. The re thought of Wang Ling existing was helping her cultivation beco better.
Her heart needed the assurance that there is soone worthy of her and in her mind, she also needed to be worthy enough to catch his eyes. Wang Ling was improving at a rate that even she could not imagine possible.
Every bit of information about Wang Ling had long been gathered by her, the fact that he tore through the Roaring Thunder Board had already reached her ears a few days ago. She was feeling pressure and that pressure was making her improve faster than ever.
She continued swinging the halberd in her hands and her rhythm was finally starting to pick up. It was at this ti that a knock ca from her doors. She placed the halberd by her side and asked what was going on:
"A person nad Wang Ling is currently waiting for the Successor of Flas to co out. He claims to be your acquaintance and holds a letter written by yourself."
Word by word Yan Renhuo listened and her interest grew the more she listened. She was about to head out after hearing the thing about Wang Ling looking for her but noticing her untidy appearance, she decided to stop and first change into a set of new clothes.
"Is he here for pill concoction or sothing else?" Yan Renhuo hoped for sothing else. But on the back her head she already knew what it is that he wanted.
=====
Wang Ling was seated in a comfortable chair. He was sipping tea and could feel the heat coming from inside his chest.
The softness of Bai Xue's fur was rather comfortable, mixed with the tea and the chair, Wang Ling was relaxed.
He had the urge to just sleep then and there, but he attacked himself with his hellish qi to keep himself awake.
[Dear Celestials, I am slowly becoming like Bai Xue. Sleep is not exactly my forte so I best not fall asleep.] sleep was a tempting offer for Wang Ling.
Especially for soone who last tasted sleep months ago. Although Saints does not need any sleep, they should take one once in a while. The mind is still processing even as they ditate after all.
As a matter of fact, their minds were much faster when they are ditating because it was at those kinds of monts where they search for the truth of their paths.
Wang Ling does not even get any peace when he sleeps, his rest was sothing that only rarely happens. Either he gets knocked out or get knock himself out; that would be his only option to get so decent nights of sleep.
As Wang Ling waited, he could feel that there was a crowd forming outside. He did not know what was happening, but he didn't care enough to pay any attention to it.
He was currently at Yan Renhuo's mountain peak, inside the abode that was built in there. Whatever happens here must be her problem.
A few minutes of waiting later, a lady wearing blue robes ca out from the inner quarters. Exuding valiance, power, and so odd feeling of grace. Yan Renhuo stood before Wang Ling.
"What can I do for Brother Wang?" Yan Renhuo asked in an unrestrained manner.
"I need your help in concocting a pill. I have to hunt for a beast and I am greatly in need of this pill." Wang Ling asked sincerely.
Yan Renhuo showed a bitter smile for a mont before answering, "It depends on the pill. If it is out of my capabilities then I may not be of any help to Brother Wang."
"Don't worry, the thing I want to concoct might be a grade-3 pill but it is as easy as any grade-2 pill. Here, look at it." Wang Ling handed a piece of paper to Yan Renhuo which she accepted gratefully.
Reading through the recipe, Yan Renhuo's pupils enlarged as she read through the ingredients and the procedure of the recipe. She had her doubts at first, but the na on the bottom of the paper confird all her suspicions.
"The [Serpentine's Bane Pill] the pill that can neutralize any venom from the Black Turtle's variants of serpents. Unless they are stronger than dominion realm, their poison will be neutralized and prove useless.
"A lost recipe, where did you get this? If you keep taking out these kinds of recipes, it will only be a matter of ti before you are hunted down."
She stated in a serious tone.
"I know, that is why I am coming to you. You're the only one I trust enough to show this recipe." Wang Ling spoke in all seriousness. His words contained no hint of intentions attempting to deceive Yan Renhuo.
Yan Renhuo smiled and sighed as she said, "Alright, I will help you. This is interesting anyway."
She stood up and was just about to continue when the commotion outside got to her and she felt irritated.
She stord out and shouted, "Shut up!"
Wang Ling watched her do so and in his mind, he thought, [She's quite fierce.]
