Leng Yikun also explained a few sentences.
“The Eternal Night Sect was never peaceful to begin with. To take ten thousand steps back, if his own mother knew that her son was still alive, wouldn’t she become even more unrestrained and willful?
It’s better for everyone to think he’s dead, and be done with it once and for all.”
“Have you taken your medicine?”
An Jiuyue saw his gravely ill appearance, yet he could still utter such a long stream of words. She couldn’t help but be astonished and asked.
“Uh, yes.”
Leng Yikun was momentarily choked up, then nodded in agreement.
If he hadn’t taken some medicinal pills to temporarily supplement his vitality, how could he possibly come out to meet people? He would have collapsed before anyone even arrived.
Now, any trivial movement might spell the end for his remaining sliver of life; he himself didn’t care much anymore, but for the sake of his father not being blamed by High Priest Demon Heart, he had to come in person and explain things clearly.
“Solidifying Yuan Pill?”
An Jiuyue looked at him and shook her head.
“Although this medicinal pill is good, for you, it is equivalent to a death-delivering poison. By taking the Solidifying Yuan Pill, you are burning your own life away. Do you realize that?”
She questioned him. This young man was truly extraordinary, daring to consume the Solidifying Yuan Pill when facing imminent death.
Given Leng Yikun’s current condition, without taking it, he could live for another month or so, but now that he had ingested the Solidifying Yuan Pill, it was just a matter of time.
Moreover, the Solidifying Yuan Pill he consumed wasn’t even of a high grade, which was not very good to begin with.
“Yi Kun, you…”
Sect Master Leng heard An Jiuyue’s words and instantly felt heartache.
Once, this son was his everything. He had poured all his effort into nurturing him as his successor, but alas, man’s plans are no match for the heavens, and in the end, it had come to this.
“Father, I am fine.”
Leng Yikun nodded slightly toward Sect Master Leng to reassure him.
He still wanted to meet Leng Nichen later and discuss the affairs of the Eternal Night Sect, naturally not allowing himself to succumb to any mishap right now.
“You—” Sect Master Leng heaved a deep sigh, feeling helpless about his son. He looked up at An Jiuyue.
“High Priest, I had no intention of deceiving you, but given the current unrest within the Eternal Night Sect due to Yi Kun’s issue, the factions are somewhat chaotic. I cannot guarantee what impact Yi Kun’s reappearance would have on the Sect, so I kindly ask that the High Priest keep the news of Yi Kun still being alive to herself.”
“Of course.”
An Jiuyue nodded. She was not one to gossip like a nosy parker.
Whether Leng Yikun was dead or alive, it really made no difference to her, especially now that she had acquired the Qe Mingmu, right?
However, what she cared about was the kind of person Sect Master Leng of the Eternal Night Sect was. If he was truly as she had previously thought, someone who could heartlessly sacrifice his own son, then there was no need for her to be courteous to him.
But judging by the current situation, Sect Master Leng seemed to be decent to his own son and appeared to harbor no malice towards Leng Nichen.
“Here is a Ninth-Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill. Let your son take it first; it will ensure his safety for ten days.”
She took out a medicinal pill and handed it to Sect Master Leng.
“Thank you, High Priest, for bestowing the medicine.”
When Sect Master Leng saw the Nourishing Yuan Pill, his eyes lit up.
Although the ingredients for refining the Nourishing Yuan Pill seemed quite straightforward, the actual refinement process was extremely complex. Each ingredient had to be divided into several portions and added into the pill-refining furnace with precise measurements at particular times.
And the higher the grade of the Nourishing Yuan Pill, the more difficult it was to refine.
