The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

Qingyang City, Ren Family Compound.

Ren Tianxing scrambled and rolled his way home.

He had barely stepped across the threshold when he hadn't even called out "father" yet.

"puff……"

A mouthful of foul-smelling, black blood sprayed all over the ground.

His body went limp, and he rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

"Skywalker...!"

The entire Ren family was in complete chaos, like a hornet's nest had been stirred up.

Several elders hurriedly carried him into the inner hall, and their faces turned pale the moment their hands touched his wrist to take his pulse and check his breath.

I only found out after checking.

A ball of pitch-black lightning was tightly coiled within his dantian.

That thing was like a venomous snake burrowing into his bones, gnawing away at his meridians bit by bit!

The elders took turns pouring spiritual energy into it.

As soon as the spiritual energy entered, it was like falling into a bottomless pit.

Instead, the black lightning struck back, making their arms go numb.

The news spread rapidly, even alarming the Xuanjian Sect.

Ren Tianxing's master, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, immediately broke through his cultivation barrier and rushed over.

He glanced down at it and gasped, "This is bizarre! It's a Dao injury! Ordinary pills won't work!"

"If we can't find the Nine Soul Leaf, that divine herb capable of cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body, within three years, Ren Tianxing will be completely crippled, even if he doesn't die!"

"A useless person?!"

The head of the Ren family felt his vision go black, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

This is the successor that the Ren family has risked everything to cultivate!

He is also the number one holy son personally trained by the Xuanjian Sect!

"Find the Nine-Soul Leaf immediately! Dig it up if you have to, even if it means turning mountains into seas!"

The Ren family and the Xuanjian Sect immediately mobilized a large force and scattered in all directions to search for the Nine Soul Leaf.

The patriarch, his eyes red, roared, "Investigate! Who did this?!"

……

Two hours later.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched slightly, and he woke up.

As soon as I opened my eyes, two beams of light shot out, causing the candlelight in the room to flicker.

He clenched his fist instinctively, and his blood suddenly boiled.

A surge of energy bursts forth from my dantian, impossible to suppress!

He quickly looked inside his body.

Good guy!

Where is the spiritual root vortex in the dantian?

Nine tiny stars, each the size of a palm, are spinning around and around!

"Perfect Foundation Establishment? Is that really true?!"

Lin Yi almost jumped up.

With a single thought, all nine stars flashed.

Wow!

The entire room was filled with spiritual energy that rushed towards him, ten times smoother than before, like turning on a tap!

"That felt great! That felt so good!"

"Brother Lin Yi, you're awake? Are you feeling better?"

Tao Mengdie pushed open the door and came in carrying a bowl of warm water. Her face was tense, and her eyes were fixed on him without blinking.

Lin Yi softened his tone and his gaze towards her became gentle.

He reached out and took her wrist. "Mengdie, thank you so much for saving me!"

"I'm completely healed, absolutely healed!"

Tao Mengdie's ears turned bright red instantly, and she lowered her head even further.

"Cough...cough cough!"

With a clearing of his throat, an old man with white hair darted in through the door, carrying a blue cloth medicine bag in his hand.

It was Tao Mengdie's grandfather, Tao Yuan, a fourth-level alchemist!

As soon as he entered the room, his gaze fell on Lin Yi's face, and his lips trembled.

Suddenly, he rushed forward, his voice trembling, "So alike! So very alike! You and your father are practically identical!"

Then came a torrent of sobs and complaints:

Back then, when they were besieged by enemies outside Biyun City, it was Lin Yi's father who led a group of people to risk their lives to save them, pulling the grandfather and grandson back from the brink of death.

He remembered the life-saving kindness for a full ten years!

As they chatted, Tao Yuan began to complain.

He's been stuck at the peak of the fourth rank in alchemy for ten years, unable to even touch the threshold of the fifth rank.

After listening, Lin Yi remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Elder Tao, I dare not speak of alchemy, but I would like to say something from the bottom of my heart..."

"The medicine is not forcibly produced, but rather drawn out by its properties."

Tao Yuan stood frozen in place, his mouth opening and closing as he repeatedly muttered, "Follow the properties of the medicine... to draw it out..."

Suddenly, he threw his head back and burst into wild laughter, "Hahaha! That's it! That's it!"

He turned and ran, a faint golden aura rising above his head.

That's a sign of a breakthrough!

A fifth-tier alchemist has been achieved!

In a dark corner under the eaves, a shadow stood silently against the wall.

He had a horizontal scar on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as knives.

It was the man who called Lin Yi "Young Master" before!

Yue Shouzhong!

His Adam's apple bobbed. "The young master... he can even understand the Dao of Alchemy?"

"A few words, and he brought the old alchemist back to life after ten years of stagnation?"

He glanced back into the room at Lin Yi and Tao Mengdie, who were snuggling and talking. His gaze softened. "Luckily, we have this girl. She's honest and kind-hearted."

"If she hadn't kept a close watch on him those few days, the young master would probably be in a precarious situation!"

The thought of being ambushed from behind at the critical moment of tribulation was unbearable.

A cold glint flashed in Yue Shouzhong's eyes!

But the next second, he gritted his teeth and swallowed back his murderous intent.

The lady's words before she left echoed in my ears again: "Never interfere unless it's a matter of life and death!"

He took a deep breath, and his figure gradually faded away.

In the end, only a pair of eyes remained, glowing faintly in the darkness.

"Ren family, you've escaped with your lives this time!"

"But this debt... young master will surely settle it himself!"

……

Xin Zhilei moved quickly, and after a few turns, she arrived at the entrance of the Danfang.

A maidservant trotted into the inner hall and respectfully said to Tao Mengdie, "Master, a girl named Xin Zhilei has come outside. She says she's from the Dan Ding Sect and is looking for her junior brother... He's right here."

Tao Mengdie was startled and subconsciously turned her head to look at Lin Yi beside her.

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched, and half of his face froze. "Not again?!"

Is this lady born in the Year of the Dog?

Can you even find your way by following the scent?

Wasn't I enough of a lesson they learned last time?

He waved his hand dismissively, "No! Tell her to go back to where she came from."

Tao Mengdie smiled and nodded to the maid, saying, "Just listen to Brother Lin Yi and politely decline."

Outside the door, Xin Zhilei tensed up as soon as she heard that she wouldn't be seen.

She had no idea whether Tao Mengdie was a friend or foe.

But the thought of Lin Yi coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground made my heart feel like it was being ripped apart.

"Why are you stopping our fellow disciples from the Dan Ding Sect from visiting?"

Beside her, Guan Jiahui quickly tugged at her sleeve, "Sister Zhilei! This is the Pill Workshop! We can't cause trouble here!"

But when people are in a hurry, they don't care about rules anymore.

Xin Zhilei took a step forward, her sleeves billowing up.

Lin Yi, who had sharp ears, had already heard the commotion outside. He rubbed his temples and sighed.

"Sister Mengdie, this...is indeed my senior sister!"

"Never mind, I'll just go and show my face."

When he slowly walked to the front hall, Xin Zhilei recognized him at a glance.

He expected a sarcastic remark, but instead, she rushed up to him, looked him up and down, and said in a softer voice than usual, "Lin Yi! Are you feeling better?"

Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, "Huh?"

The word "roll" that I had prepared was stuck in my throat, and I just couldn't spit it out.

This art style is off!

Shouldn't she be whipping and yelling at people?

He instinctively took a half step back. "Ah... thank goodness, you're still alive."

Xin Zhilei blushed and immediately retorted, "Who cares if you live or die! I'm afraid you'll die out there and ruin our sect's reputation!"

Lin Yi: "Oh."

Xin Zhilei: "...What are you 'oh'ing about?!"

The two were talking at cross purposes, and the onlookers were shaking with suppressed laughter.

Then look at Kwan Ka-wai on the side.

Her eyes lit up the moment Lin Yi appeared.

The young man before me stood upright like a pine tree, with clear and bright eyes.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he exuded a gentle and unassuming aura.

For female cultivators like them who practice yin-based techniques, it was like a hungry wolf smelling honey.

"No wonder Sister Zhilei lost her composure..."

After Lin Yi finally managed to coax the person away, he repeatedly reminded him not to divulge a single word about the Foundation Establishment matter.

Xin Zhilei is very perceptive and quick-witted.

Her eyes flickered slightly, a sly smile appearing on her face. "I can keep it a secret, but you have to promise me three things!"

Lin Yi's eyes widened. "Oh, Senior Sister, you're coming with conditions?"

Xin Zhilei slightly raised her chin. "I haven't decided yet! I'll tell you when I figure it out... Anyway, you should agree first!"

Fearing he might change his mind, she quickly added, "Don't worry, I won't let you kill or set fires."

Look at her calm exterior, but her ears are flushed pink.

Lin Yi paused for two seconds, then suddenly chuckled softly.

Ah, I get it.

This is hardly a request.

This is to give myself an excuse to come back to him again.

Stepping out of the alchemy workshop, Lin Yi tallied the goods in his spiritual spring space and hummed a little tune with delight.

This year's harvest of Xuan Yuan fruit is bountiful, with varieties from ten, fifty, and even a hundred years old all present, each one plump and juicy.

This fruit has always been priceless and unavailable in the market.

"Finally, I can earn spirit stones on my own! I'm ashamed of always relying on Sister Mengdie for help."

He spread out a coarse cloth on the bustling street corner and arranged the fruit neatly.

The pricing is straightforward and efficient.

Ten years of fruition, five thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Fifty years of fruit, thirty thousand.

A century-old fruit, fifty thousand.

Soon, several rogue cultivators gathered around, pinching their noses and sniffing, "Fellow Daoist, how much is this Profound Origin Fruit?"

"Five thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"Wow! That price is equivalent to six months' worth of my expenses?"

The man in the Qi Refining stage shook his head and left.

"What about the fifty years?"

Thirty thousand.

"Oops... Goodbye!"

Several young masters and ladies in brocade robes approached and inquired about the century-old fruit.

Upon hearing that it cost 50,000 low-grade spirit stones, he immediately frowned.

"Fifty thousand? That's enough to buy a top-grade flying sword!"

The results of it?

People lined up to watch, but not a single person paid.

Lin Yi squatted by the roadside, staring at a pile of neglected spiritual fruits, screaming inwardly.

Cheating!

He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "Wrong, wrong! Good things shouldn't be hawked on the roadside...you have to find someone who knows their stuff!"

Just as he was packing up his cloth bag, a sweet and soft voice came from behind him, "Oh~ Brother Lin Yi, what a coincidence? Setting up a stall here?"

Lin Yi didn't even bother to lift his head.

With this sticky, mushy vibe, who else could it be but that green tea bitch Lu Yuling?

He continued working, replying coldly, "I'm closing up shop!"
