Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 34: Breaking the Curse

  Just after lunch at the Wang family estate, Yun Qingran had written down the medicinal materials that had been sent over, including the hundred-year-old ginseng that the Wang family had collected decades ago. After carefully instructing Wang Lei on what to do, the two of them went together to the best practice stone room in the Wang family, where Old Man Wang had already been arranged inside.

  After closing the stone room door, only Yun Qingran and three others were left. Yun Qingran asked Wang Lei to help Wang Lao Yezi sit cross-legged, and with a flick of her wrist, more than ten silver needles appeared on Wang Lao Yezi's body.

  Seal off Wang Lao's pulse, leaving only one thicker one behind, and signal to Wang Lei to start using his internal force to infiltrate the vicinity of Lao's heart.

  Carefully taking out a hundred-year-old Heart-Eroding Grass from the jade box, as soon as it approached Old Man Wang, a small lump protruded from the area of his heart. Holding the Heart-Eroding Grass and following the distribution of the meridians, slowly moving from the heart towards the mouth, Wang Lei's internal energy also followed closely behind the Gu insect, protecting Old Man Wang's heart meridian bit by bit. Yun Qingyan used silver needles one after another to seal off the Gu insect's retreat route.

  When the wormwood was moved to Wang Lao's mouth, a bright red worm-like insect crawled out from Wang Lao's mouth and pounced on the wormwood.

  Ink-black plants, scarlet wasps harmonized eerily. Cloud gently and carefully placed the wasp and herbs together in a wooden box wrapped with metal, sprinkled some powder on top, and watched as the blood-red wasp turned into a dark brown color similar to moth grass before sealing the box.

  Wang Lei looked at Yun Qingran in surprise after seeing her put away the Gu worm, then didn't say anything and focused on transmitting internal energy to Old Man Wang. Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, this is the way to preserve one's life. She, they, the Wang family, are not to be trifled with.

  After putting away the Gu worm, Yun Qingran took out the hundred-year-old ginseng and a orange flame appeared on his hand, slowly burning the ginseng until it turned into a pool of medicinal liquid. Before the liquid cooled down, Yun Qingran stabbed several silver needles around Wang Lao's heart, then forced the liquid from the position where the silver needles were stabbed into his heart to permeate the entire heart.

  After feeling that Old Master Wang's heart had been repaired, Yun Qingran let Wang Lei withdraw his inner strength, then pulled out the silver needle to allow the medicine at the heart to flow throughout the body with the blood. Finally, he threw a black pill into his mouth.

  "Cloud Doctor, what about my father?" Wang Lei suppressed the words on his lips and only asked after Cloud had put away the silver needle and stood up.

  "Alright, for the rest of it, just follow the prescription I wrote and have Old Master Wang take the medicine for half a month. He suffered severe blood loss this time, and although that ginseng supplemented some of it, he still needs to be nursed back slowly." Yun Qingran casually waved her hand and walked towards the door, but suddenly stopped: "I don't want anyone except us two to know about the process of this treatment, and as for Old Master Wang's illness, I don't want anyone except the core members of the Wang family to know." As for Old Master Wang himself, he wasn't within her consideration - he wouldn't be able to wake up until tomorrow.

  Wang Lei was silent. This time during the treatment process, apart from Yun Qingran's surprisingly fast needle speed, what surprised him the most was the flame that appeared on her hand. At least he knew that even innate masters couldn't produce flames in their palms, so Yun Qingran wasn't someone that the Wang family could understand. Her warning made him not dare to disobey, it seemed that from now on, his attitude towards the Yun family would have to be more positive.

  Without mentioning the cost of this treatment, Yun Qingran went home with Old Man Yun. The Heartburn Grass used for this treatment was not something that the Wang family could afford, although it wasn't a big deal for Yun Qingran, as she had plenty of high-quality ones in her possession, and the hundred-year-old one was considered low-grade. However, she had only taken action because of the Gu parasite, and as for how the Wang family would pay back the cost of removing the Gu, that was up to them; she would decide her future attitude towards them based on their attitude.

  When she returned home, it was already quite late, so after greeting Old Man Yun, Yun Qingran went back to her own small courtyard. Although they had been outside for more than half a month, the place where Yun Qingran and Suo Jing were staying in the space had been adjusted by Yun Qingran, but it had still been over a year. However, she had extended the cycle of day and night, and since the two of them spent most of their time in the cultivation room, neither of them knew exactly how much time had passed.

  "Miss!" Upon seeing Yun Qingran, Su Ying and Chu Feng simultaneously bowed, then Chu Feng took a half-step back and respectfully waited for her orders.

  Yun Qingran took one look at the two and immediately knew their cultivation situation. The Wu Zhe had a natural division of nine levels, while Leng Han had reached the fifth level in just over a year, which was not bad, although it was due to the abundant spiritual energy in the space. The Xing Kong Jue was divided into four directions and twenty-eight star mansions, also a method that could be cultivated to become a god emperor. At this time, he had cultivated the Dongfang Qinglong's Jiaomu Jiao, and the first star force formed a star in his mind, which was unprecedented in the history of the Sikuang family.

  "I asked you both to come today for two reasons: first, to see how your training is going; second, since it's been a while, I have something for Leng Han to do." After observing the situation of the two people, Yun Qingran also spoke directly.

  Leng Han took a step forward, bowed respectfully and said: "Please instruct, miss." Yun Qingran had instructed the two not to call her master, so they changed their way of addressing her.

  "I want you to go abroad first and secretly build your own power, cultivate your own talents, and prepare for future plans." Yun Qingran said while also observing Leng Han's reaction.

  "Yes, miss." Chong Huang didn't let Yun Qing Ran down and agreed without any hesitation.

  "Su Ying's abilities are not enough yet, there are still many things to learn, when the time comes I will send him over." Seeing Leng Han's reaction was very satisfactory, Yun Qingran kindly explained and let him put his mind at ease.

  Leng Han didn't say anything, but Yun Qingran could see his thoughts from his eyes. He had truly submitted to her, yet his concern for Su Ying was undiminished. Without saying more, Yun Qingran handed Leng Han a piece of paper and an exquisite watch: "The paper lists the tasks and goals I want you to accomplish; how you do it is up to you. Memorize them and then burn the paper. The watch has communication functions; if there's anything you can't handle, tell me."

  "Yes." A simple answer, and with a cold demeanor, he began to silently memorize the contents of the paper.

  Yun Qingran turned to Su Ying again, "In the following time, you will not only cultivate but also learn some knowledge, Xing will be responsible for guiding you."

  "Yes, miss." Su Ying shuddered and lowered his head to answer. He was really intimidated by Xing. When he looked up again, Yun Qingran was already gone.

  In their hearts, they both understood that this was the time Yun Qing Ran had left for them to bid farewell, and they were both secretly grateful.

  "Master, you must work hard and take good care of yourself here." Leng Han rarely spoke, but now his words were a bit more. He didn't know how long he would be separated from Su Ying: "Leng Han will go ahead and make preparations, waiting for your arrival."

  He became a subordinate of Yun Qingran along with Su Ying, and Leng Han's self-proclaimed attitude towards Su Ying also changed. Su Ying looked at Leng Han with some reluctance, this person who had been protecting him since he was born, teaching him, and sacrificing his life for him.

  "Hanbo, I will study hard and come to help you early." Despite having countless things he wanted to say, Su Ying couldn't utter a word.

  Two hours later, Yun came over lightly and handed him a cold ring and a jade pendant to recognize the owner with blood. "The ring is a space ring, take the things inside and sell them as start-up capital for your side, and then rely on yourself in the future. The jade pendant can block three full-strength attacks from a congenital perfect master, don't leave it by your side, I'm not very clear about the situation over there, there may be some unknown existence, if you're in danger, hide and notify me."

  "Yes." Yun's gentle words warmed his heart and made him even more certain of his decision to be loyal.

  Yun Qing let Su Ying go to the small villa's guest room, and Xing had already prepared the books he needed to study. From now on, apart from cultivation, he also had to learn martial arts, assassination, language, finance, psychology and other compulsory subjects, while others were left for him to choose. Fortunately, due to his cultivation, his originally clever mind became even more agile, and when reading these books, he could understand them very well, learning quickly, and even added many courses on his own initiative.

  After Su Ying left, Yun Qing Ran poked the cold sleep acupuncture point on Han's body, and only after confirming that he was asleep did she bring him out of the space and put him in the forest where they were rescued before waking him up.

  "The road ahead is up to you." Seeing Leng Han clear-headed, Yun Qing left with a light movement without letting him notice the direction she was heading.
