Qin Manyun frowned and said worriedly, “Master, you have to stop for a while. You can’t keep spitting blood like this.”
“Haha, don’t worry, I’ll show you the definition of a strong old man!” Yao Mengji said. “Hurry up and get me an energy pill! I’m telling you, after all these times, I’ve learned the trick. I know how much blood to spit for it to work.”
Soon, a disciple brought him an energy pill.
Yao Mengji swallowed it. Suddenly, his pale face started to flush red and he stood up straighter.
The effects were visible.
He bowed, spat out blood, lit an incense stick, and summoned the Immortal.
It was pitiful how familiar he was with the steps.
However, after he spat out blood, Yao Mengji was exhausted. His mouth went dry as his whole body trembled.
“Ancestor, I’ve tried my best. If you don’t show up now, I can’t do this anymore. I’ll die from spitting blood!”
Yao Mengji prayed, “Please, I’m begging you. Work! Show up!”
It was as if his prayers were heard. The ancestor stone flashed a milky white light.
Buzz!
A powerful aura took over the area.
Everyone was surprised. They looked serious. It worked!
The Immortal…was summoned?
Yao Mengji trembled emotionally. He stared dead at the flash of light and yelled in a trembling voice, “Mas…Master!”
The Immortal figure started to form.
However, they were stumped and looked weirdly at that figure. They were in disbelief.
It was a woman. She was not the most beautiful woman, but she was very beautiful. Moreover, she was not beautiful like a young lady. She had that mature aura. Her curvy figure made her attractive in her unique way.
She was the type of woman people would daydream about.
She was very stunning.
Among Immortals, the male Immortals rarely focused on their appearances. They liked to have beards to look cool. It was different for female Immortals—they actually cared about their looks.
The elders were all astounded.
However, they remembered how old this figure was and instantly calmed down.
That was not the point.
The point was, this woman was not in good condition. The figure was weak and lifeless. The figure was not standing up. Instead, she was on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
She was kind of like how Yao Mengji was—almost dead.
Yao Mengji was stumped. “Mis…Mistress?”
That woman looked at everyone and said weakly, “Mengji, why are you like this, too? Are you also dying?”
“I’m just exhausted, Mistress. You said you…you’re…” said Yao Mengji in a trembling voice. His eyes were wide in shock.
Everyone looked at the woman and felt emotional.
They were not prepared for the sudden sadness.
That was an Immortal!
The only Immortal of the Linxian Palace was dying?
How did this happen?
That woman smiled and said, “Alright, nothing to be sad for. The Above Immortal Realm isn’t that different from the Immortal Realm. Immortals die, too. It’s too bad I can’t transfer my powers. It’s so wasteful to die like this.”
She looked at Yao Mengji and asked, “Where’s your Master?”
Yao Mengji answered sadly, “My Master ascended and went to Cross Tribulation after two hundred years. He never returned.”
The figure paused for a while but was not surprised. She said, “He was too stubborn and reckless. As I expected, he didn’t pass the test. He was only two-thousand-years old. How short-lived.”
Yao Mengji endured his sadness and introduced, “Mistress, this is my student, Qin Manyun.”
“Oh? A girl?”
The figure smiled and observed Qin Manyun. She gasped with wide eyes.
“You’re from the… Yuan Ying realm? Little girl, how old are you?”
Qin Manyun respectfully replied, “Ancestor, after this year I’ll be thirty years old.”
“A cultivator from the Yuan Ying realm who’s barely thirty? You have more potential than I did when I was your age!”
The figure took a closer look at Qin Manyun. She was very satisfied as she complimented, “Her appearance isn’t bad, too! She looks as good as I do! Mengji, you’ve got a good student here!”
Yao Mengji nodded and teared up.
It had been thousands of years but his Mistress was still the same. Her narcissistic style had not changed.
He remembered when he was only a teenager. Time flew by and a lot had changed. The Immortal achieved her goal but her life was in danger.
Memories flashed by. His throat was dry as he held back his tears. He said in a hoarse voice, “Mistress, how can we save you?”
“Don’t worry about me. What I need is far beyond your reach in the Immortal Realm.” The woman shook her head and said in a cool voice, “I can die in peace knowing that I have such a nice student.”
She smiled and raised her hand. A fruit appeared in front of Qin Manyun. “I can’t help you all, and I don’t have gifts. Take this as a gift.”
The fruit was small like a longan. It was mainly purplish and it looked like a plum.
Yao Mengji sneakily glanced at his Mistress. She was looking at everyone like she wanted to try it, too. Her pale face was slightly flushed. He thought it was funny.
He knew her too well. He went along with it perfectly. “Mistress, what’s this? I’ve never seen it before. Is it food from the Above Immortal Realm?”
The woman looked at Yao Mengji proudly like he was a great student. She simply introduced, “This is a special Spiritual Fruit, known as the Dao Fruit!”
“Dao Fruit?” Everyone was surprised.
The woman was satisfied with their reaction. She said in a pleased voice, “This Dao Fruit is rare even in the Above Immortal Realm. I got lucky and found it in an eltrich border. I even fought two Immortals for it. Thankfully, I won in the end.”
“Eltrich border? Fighting Immortals?”
Everyone was intrigued and shocked. They looked at the Dao Fruit with fascination.
The woman smiled and said, “Do you know what are the effects of this Dao Fruit?”
Everyone shook their heads simultaneously.
“You couldn’t imagine it!” She purposely tried to be mysterious. She said in a low voice, “It contains Insights!”
