Chapter 342: The Last Letter!
"Alright, no need to see me off. If you keep going, you'll be out of the Gama Empire's borders. You're too old to act like a child chasing someone away."
In the mountain range at the border of the Gama Empire, Mr. Yao solemnly handed over an old envelope to Jiang Lin, saying seriously, "This is the last letter. Inside are the words your mother left for you, and all the answers you've been looking for."
"..."
Jiang Lin stared at the envelope in his hand, feeling a sudden emptiness in his heart.
"Actually, your mother didn't ask you to defeat that Purple Crystal Wing Lion King. She just asked me, when I felt you had the strength to know the truth, to give you this letter, or to let you live a peaceful life," Mr. Yao said, patting Jiang Lin's shoulder with a gentle sigh.
At this point, Mr. Yao's cultivation had recovered considerably and he was now a One-Star Dou Ling, which was about his current limit.
"Don't cry, Xiao Lin. You're so powerful now. I have to catch up to you! The Gama Empire isn't suitable for me, so I'll go to the Out Cloud Empire to cultivate for a few years, and then I'll come back and defeat you!" Xiao Yi Xian came over, standing on tiptoe to pat Jiang Lin's head, but Jiang Lin just gave her a big eye-roll.
"Which eye of yours saw me crying?" Jiang Lin's face twitched slightly. He just felt a little uncomfortable inside.
"Who knows? Maybe my heart heard you quietly crying?" Xiao Yi Xian smiled gently at Jiang Lin.
"Old Yao taught me the pill refining method and said I could try to use it to deal with the toxins in my body before I had enough strength. Now Xiao Lin has the strength to stand on his own, so I'll also be going with Mr. Yao to find my own path. You don't want me to stay behind you for the rest of my life, do you? I also have the little wish to become a powerful fighter!" Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in white, waved her little fist at Jiang Lin, indicating she was also powerful, which made Jiang Lin's mouth twitch slightly.
Swish.
Jiang Lin raised his hand, grabbed Xiao Yi Xian's small hand, and handed her a storage ring of the same size as his Leiwen Na Ring.
"I won't say much more. This ring contains enough resources to help Eagle Sauce reach the Fifth Stage, along with two Three-Pattern Qingling Pills for you, a specialized Feather Sheath Wings, a set of soft armor, a set of armor, a few weapons, and of course, a letter for the Out Cloud Refining Guild. The refining guild there is closely linked with the Out Cloud Medicine Guild, so if you encounter any problems, you can directly ask the Refining Guild. If they can't solve it, let them contact the Gama Refining Guild, and I'll take care of it." Jiang Lin had prepared everything he could think of for Xiao Yi Xian.
He couldn't be too selfish. The Out Cloud Empire was the most suitable place for Xiao Yi Xian to cultivate. What he could do was provide as safe an environment as possible until he completely solved the issue of her cursed body.
As for whether Xiao Yi Xian's fast cultivation of toxins would accelerate the eruption of the cursed body, Jiang Lin wasn't too worried because Old Yao had told him that the real problem with the cursed body was the lifespan. If she didn't cultivate, the cursed body would erupt quickly and take her life with it. But if she cultivated, the eruption would be controllable, though her lifespan would be limited to thirty years.
And thirty years was enough for Jiang Lin. He was currently studying the "Condensed Pill" technique and had already made some progress. Even without using Old Yao's methods, Jiang Lin could perfect a new poison pill method within three to five years!
And given Jiang Lin's cultivation speed, he might even reach Dou Huang within that time.
So now, Xiao Yi Xian had two choices: one was to quietly be an ordinary physician for three to five years and wait for Jiang Lin to research the poison pill method. The other was to release the toxins and accelerate her cultivation, enhancing both her cultivation and poison resistance, using her lifespan to exchange for power. Then, before her lifespan was exhausted, she could use the poison pill method Jiang Lin developed to completely resolve the issue.
Since Xiao Yi Xian had chosen the second path, Jiang Lin didn't say much. He just silently prepared everything he could think of for her.
In fact, Jiang Lin even felt an impulse to give her the Wood System Crystal Core from his body. However, in the end, rationality prevailed. The crystal core was directly related to Jiang Lin's "life and death," and without extra crystal cores, he couldn't afford to give it away. He was even a bit short on source crystals now and needed to find the Purple Crystal Wing Lion King to borrow some more.
"Wow, so many good things?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at the storage ring in her hand and couldn't help but punch Jiang Lin playfully.
"You said you wanted to beat me, so I have to provide you with some good resources," Jiang Lin smiled slightly.
Swish.
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze rushed in, and a warm jade embraced him.
"...Alright, see you next time, Xiao Lin!" Xiao Yi Xian hugged Jiang Lin tightly for a while, took a few deep breaths, then smiled and released him before slowly stepping back.
Screech!
The strong Lan Ying behind them cried out, immediately lifting Xiao Yi Xian and Mr. Yao into the air and flying towards the distant mountains.
Jiang Lin looked at the envelope in his hand, then glanced at the disappearing shadow in the sky. He smiled and waved his hand until the Lan Ying disappeared into the horizon, and then slowly regained his composure.
"Though I had already expected this day, when it actually comes, it still makes me feel a little dazed," Jiang Lin muttered as he looked at the envelope in his hand.
He knew Xiao Yi Xian's character. She was stubborn and proud, and would never be willing to be a weak girl needing protection. That was why Jiang Lin had prepared so many things for her in advance. This was also why he was able to give her so many things.
As for the "betrayal" of Lan Ying, the Gama Royal Family already knew about it. However, Lan Ying wasn't important. Jiang Lin was. As long as Jiang Lin didn't "betray," everything would be fine.
"But this Eagle Sauce is too fond of women," Jiang Lin couldn't help but laugh and curse. Of course, even if Eagle Sauce wanted to stay, Jiang Lin would just hammer him out. People, huh, they're always complicated.
As for Xiao Yi Xian's safety, Jiang Lin wasn't too worried. On one hand, Mr. Yao was with her, offering some protection. On the other hand, the Out Cloud Refining Guild had Jiang Lin's letter. Even without looking at the monk's face, considering the current internal situation of the Out Cloud Empire, with the Refining Guild's support, Xiao Yi Xian would mostly avoid dangers from large forces.
As for the smaller forces... who knew who might be in danger?
"Ugh, this letter is troublesome," Jiang Lin opened the envelope in his hand and glanced at it. Immediately, he felt a shiver down his spine!
