Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1765 - 1763: Come Out Soon

When Lu Ye was not around, Yaya was cared for by Hua Ci and Shui Yuan together. Once Lu Ye returned, Yaya stuck to him all the time.

During this period, Yaya stayed with the doppelganger side, spending most of her time sleeping, with short bursts of activity when she would run outside and play.

Previously, the Three Worlds Island wasn't so bustling, so she didn't have much space to play. Now that the island is lively and the commercial district is filled with a variety of dazzling items, Yaya loves to go watch the excitement and sometimes even brings back some exquisite trinkets.

The merchants who have settled on the Three Worlds Island are now aware of Yaya's presence. Although they don't quite understand why a child is here, the cultivation world is filled with peculiar occurrences, so naturally, no one bothers to investigate further.

Yaya is adorable and lovable, and some female cultivators among the merchants often shower her with motherly affection and give her small gifts.

Lu Ye approached, picked up Yaya, placed her on a bed nearby, and covered her with a blanket before retrieving the doppelganger.

He then collected all the array discs that the doppelganger had painstakingly refined recently and turned to look for Shui Yuan.

Upon inquiring through message, he found that Shui Yuan was currently in the pill-making room practicing alchemy.

Throughout the Three Worlds Island, the most renowned and influential is undoubtedly the branch of the Five Colors Merchants Guild. However, through recent operations, the reputation of the Three Worlds Apothecary has also spread widely.

After all, the elixir pills produced from the pill gourd are of excellent quality. If not for Shui Yuan's deliberate control, every elixir pill refined with the pill gourd would be supreme grade!

This has caused the elixir pills at the Three Worlds Apothecary to be in short supply. Even though Shui Yuan has organized numerous healing cultivators to begin refining elixir pills, the situation hasn't improved much.

This is also related to the Three Worlds Apothecary being a local store on the island. Although there are other places selling elixir pills, the local stores naturally have some advantages.

Upon seeing Shui Yuan in the pill-making room, Lu Ye was taken aback, "Senior Sister, how long has it been since you last rested?"

At this moment, Shui Yuan looked somewhat haggard...

Given that she was almost at the Constellation Mid-Stage, she shouldn't be in this condition unless she hadn't rested for a long time.

With low spirits, Shui Yuan replied, "The last time I rested was the last time."

Lu Ye advised, "You can't earn all the spirit jade, and now our Three Worlds Island mainly relies on rent, so there's no need to overexert yourself with the apothecary."

"I know..." Shui Yuan replied, "But everyone is really happy. The healing cultivators usually do not have much opportunity to make a significant impact, so they are very enthusiastic about selling the elixir pills they personally refined."

As they spoke, she suddenly recalled something, "I heard you say before that a batch of the Flower Race took refuge in the Nine Provinces? When can you bring some of them over?"

Lu Ye, seeing her tired appearance, felt heartache and nodded, "I'll make a trip when I get the chance." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The number of Flower Race members isn't large, but each one is naturally skilled in alchemy. Bringing a batch here should ease the Second Senior Sister's burden.

I'm sure Hua Qianying won't object; after all, refining and selling elixir pills here ensures safety and earns spirit jade.

Still, it takes about two months to go there and back, even with the Soul Race ancestral land as a transit point, which is a vast improvement compared to the years it took before.

"What did you come to see me for?" Shui Yuan took the opportunity to rest, sitting to the side and sipping tea.

"I need to visit the Royal Conch Palace and see how Hua Ci is doing."

Shui Yuan said, "You really should go and check. I visited half a month ago, and nothing has changed on Hua Ci's side."

As she spoke, she drew out a green sea conch and blew it, revealing a portal.

Lu Ye stepped through, instructing, "I won't come back this time, open the portal to receive me again in seven days, Senior Sister."

"Alright!" Shui Yuan nodded.

Stepping through the portal, Lu Ye found himself at the entrance of the Divine Conch Hall.

This place was still guarded by cultivators of the Merfolk Race, but upon seeing Lu Ye, they paid no mind as everyone was familiar with each other by now.

Not bothering with greetings, Lu Ye went straight towards the outskirts of the Royal Conch Palace.

A short while later, he arrived at a place, which was the boundary between the Royal Conch Palace and the All Phenomena Ocean.

The entire Royal Conch Palace is situated inside a gigantic sea conch, a marvelously mysterious conch that has the ability to isolate seawater, leaving the inside of the palace devoid of water.

Furthermore, the palace itself is perched atop a vast Spirit Jade Vein.

The boundary seems like a transparent membrane; inside the membrane, there's no seawater, while outside, seawater abounds.

The enormous amber sealing Hua Ci and the mythical beast Pixiu is located right at this boundary, with only half being submerged in seawater.

Standing in front of the amber, Lu Ye gazed upon it: Hua Ci remained unchanged, sitting cross-legged within the amber, with Pixiu, the golden toad, crouching on her lap, both appearing to be in a deep slumber.

Lu Ye attempted to use his Mental Consciousness, but it still couldn't penetrate the amber to discern Hua Ci's condition.

Yet, upon closer inspection, Lu Ye was surprised to find that the golden coin patterns on Pixiu seemed to have become more solidified.

This amber had formed after Pixiu devoured a treasure coin, and it inherited the coin's property of energy absorption.

Lu Ye had guessed back then that perhaps only after enough energy was absorbed would the amber unlock, which was why he brought the amber sealing Hua Ci to this place.

Looking at it now, it seems he might be right.

As the amber continues to absorb energy from the seawater of the All Phenomena Ocean, the golden money pattern on Pixiu is showing subtle changes, which is undoubtedly good news.

It's been a long time, yet the amber still remains sealed, and Lu Ye doesn't know how much longer he will have to wait.

Lu Ye raised his hand, placing it on the amber, feeling a bit wistful.

"Lu Ye!" A familiar, cheerful voice called out.

Lu Ye turned his head to see the merfolk princess Bai Lu swaying her tail, rushing over joyfully.

Beside her was a familiar petite figure, none other than the specter.

However, unlike Bai Lu's joy, the specter's face was sullen, looking at Lu Ye as if he were a pile of dung.

Lu Ye nodded slightly at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu stopped in front of him, smiling as she said, "You're here?"

Lu Ye replied, "I came to check on Hua Ci."

Bai Lu's gaze moved past him, landing on the amber behind him. She said, "I often come to see Sister Hua Ci as well, but there's been no change recently."

"Thank you for your effort."

Bai Lu looked a bit embarrassed, "It's no trouble. I can't really help much, but rest assured, with Sister Hua Ci here, my Merfolk Race will definitely take good care of her."

As they talked, the second elder of the Merfolk Race, Yoo Xi, arrived. Unlike the dignified Great Elder Yan Miao, Yoo Xi was a very charming mermaid. Her sultry voice arrived before her, "The clansmen reported that an esteemed guest has arrived. I wondered which guest it was; turns out it's you!"

"Second Elder," Lu Ye saluted.

Yoo Xi returned the greeting, "You came to see the honorable lady?"

She undoubtedly had learned about Lu Ye's relationship with Hua Ci from Yan Miao and Cherng Xin.

"Yes."

Yoo Xi smiled slightly, "My young friend, you are truly loyal and righteous. But I see that the honorable lady should be fine here. This might be her opportunity, so don't worry too much."

"I hope so," Lu Ye nodded, feeling the issue wasn't severe.

Yoo Xi glanced at Bai Lu, who was focused and hadn't taken her eyes off Lu Ye for a moment, sighed softly, then smiled, "My young friend, being loyal is good, but being infatuated might not be. With someone of your stature, you shouldn't be too absorbed in romance. There are thousands of beautiful flowers, and if you focus only on one, you might miss many wonderful things."

Lu Ye's gaze flickered.

Bai Lu, who had been staring at him, suddenly blushed.

The specter next to Bai Lu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

A sudden flash of gold light erupted, striking where Yoo Xi stood.

Yoo Xi exclaimed in surprise, then fell silent.

The three of them were startled, quickly looking towards Yoo Xi, who was now stiff, unable to move, as if she'd been struck by an immobilization curse, her face showcasing surprise, bewilderment, and a hint of panic.

"Second Elder!" Bai Lu cried, quickly rushing to Yoo Xi.

But Lu Ye turned swiftly, looking towards the amber, where Hua Ci still sat serenely with her eyes closed. The Pixiu on her lap hadn't made any movement, yet Lu Ye keenly observed that Pixiu's coins had dimmed significantly.

He was ecstatic!

Despite always feeling that Hua Ci, sealed within the amber, wasn't in danger, and considering, as Yoo Xi said, that it might be her opportunity, these were just guesses after all.

Now, this could be confirmed!

The golden light just now had undoubtedly been the treasure coin's power. The treasure coin had been consumed by the Pixiu, so it couldn't have activated randomly, much less accurately struck Yoo Xi.

Hua Ci was still conscious; she could hear the commotion outside! The earlier action must have been her way of conveying information to Lu Ye.

Looking at the face sealed within the amber, Lu Ye finally relaxed and let out a long sigh.

He gently tapped on the amber, speaking softly, "Come out soon!"

"Second Elder!" Bai Lu was still calling out to Yoo Xi, while the specter stood by, looking serious, glanced at Yoo Xi, then at the amber, her mind filled with doubt.

She was now at the Moon Jade stage, yet she had completely missed what had happened and couldn't understand what was wrong with Yoo Xi.

Lu Ye stepped forward, "Don't worry, the Second Elder isn't seriously hurt. She just won't be able to move for a while. Bai Lu, take the Second Elder back for proper care, and she'll recover in time."

Once Bai Lu listened to this, she felt relieved, nodding, "Alright!"

With that, she picked up the stiff Yoo Xi and returned in the direction of the Royal Conch Palace.

The specter, reluctant to stay with Lu Ye for fear of being bullied, hurriedly followed, reluctantly shouting back at Lu Ye, "I'm reaching Moon Jade Mid-Stage soon, just you wait!"

Defeating Lu Yiye and reclaiming the dignity lost over the years was the specter's greatest motivation in cultivation!

Moreover, cultivating alongside Bai Lu was extremely efficient, giving her every confidence that she could restore her honor after breaking through to Moon Jade Mid-Stage!

Thinking of that impending day, the specter was filled with enthusiasm.
