"Your leg is fine now." Yun Lintian retracted his hand and spoke gently.

Jia Shiyu regained her senses and instinctively began to walk around.

Everyone was immediately stunned to see Jia Shiyu walking briskly as if she had never been injured.

"This..." Cai Fen didn't know what to say at the moment. Yun Lintian was clearly a formidable practitioner. She was afraid that he would hold her accountable later.

"Thank you, Sir. I will definitely repay this kindness." Jia Shiyu bowed deeply.

"It's nothing." Yun Lintian said with a smile. "Let's go."

"Mhm!" Jia Shiyu nodded firmly. Her eyes were filled with hope. With Yun Lintian here, her mother must have recovered.

Under Jia Shiyu's guidance, they arrived at a ten-story apartment building and went straight to the second floor.

"Mom. I'm back." Jia Shiyu opened the door and happily ran to the living room.

Yun Lintian followed behind and saw a thin woman lying on the bed. Her face was ghastly pale, and her eyes were sunken. It seemed as though she could pass away at any moment.

With a glance, Yun Lintian could see that she was suffering from poisoning. The poison was quite deep, and an ordinary doctor wouldn't be able to identify it.

"You're back." The woman weakly tilted her head to look at her daughter and smiled. Her eyes were filled with worry. She was afraid that her daughter would be alone after she left.

"Mom, you will be fine soon. I came back with this sir." Jia Shiyu said and quickly walked around, showing her mother. "Look. My leg is fine now."

The woman was surprised and noticed Yun Lintian. She struggled to stand up.

"Lie down." Yun Lintian arrived beside the bed and stopped her. He grabbed her wrist and injected the power of the Tree of Life into her body.

Immediately, the woman's appearance visibly improved at a rapid rate. Her sunken eyes were nowhere to be seen, and her thin body gradually regained some flesh. Her dry skin had also been moisturized.

The woman was shocked to the core by the change in her body. She glanced at Yun Lintian subconsciously and asked. "Who are you...?"

After speaking, she immediately realized her mistake. "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

Yun Lintian retracted his hand and said. "It's fine. I understand your mood."

"Mom. You have recovered!" Jia Shiyu was delighted and threw herself into her mother's arms, sobbing tears of joy. The grievances she had accumulated over the years had now completely disappeared.

The woman hugged her daughter tightly, and her heart was filled with emotions. After a while, she patted her daughter and turned to Yun Lintian. "Thank you, Senior. I will do my utmost to repay this kindness."

Yun Lintian waved his hand dismissively. "You don't have to do it. It's just a matter of raising my hand for me."

He looked at Jia Shiyu and continued speaking. "Moreover, your daughter and I are destined to meet today."

"By the way, how did you end up like this?" He asked.

The woman took a deep breath and said. "My name is Hu Li. We were ambushed by bandits on our way here ten years ago. My husband risked his life to help me escape. Due to the poison, Yu'er was born with a disabled leg."

"Bandits?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He had clearly stated before leaving that a bandit would not be allowed to exist. How did it happen?

Seeing his puzzled expression, Hu Li explained. "After Emperor Yun departed from the world, a period of turmoil ensued. These people didn't adhere to Emperor Yun's rules and began looting indiscriminately. During that period, many people had left their hometowns, searching for a better life in this city. They had ultimately become victims of these bandits."

"Why don't you use train or carriage services?" Yun Lintian asked.

"The train is always full due to the large number of people." The same goes for the carriage services in every town." Hu Li explained.

"What about those bandits? Are they still active?" Yun Lintian asked.

Hu Li shook her head. "I have no idea about it."

Yun Lintian nodded slightly. It seemed like he left too soon, and these people thought they could do something.

"What about your plan?" Yun Lintian asked.

Hu Li looked at her daughter and smiled. "It's time for me to take care of my daughter now. She has been working hard for me for too long… It's been tough on you, Yu'er."

Jia Shiyu raised her head and said. "It's not difficult at all."

Tears welled up in Hu Li's eyes. How could she not know what her daughter had been going through during these years?

Yun Lintian looked at them and said. "Do you know that your daughter has a great talent?"

Hu Li shook her head in confusion. She had no idea about it.

"Since fate has brought us together, I want to accept her as my disciple. Are you willing?" Yun Lintian asked.

Hu Li and Jia Shiyu were stunned. Both of them naturally knew the significance of becoming disciples of a formidable practitioner like Yun Lintian. It was just too unexpected.

Hu Li regained her composure and quickly spoke up. "Hurry up, Yu'er. Pay respect to your master."

Jia Shiyu quickly knelt to the ground and said. "Disciple Jia Shiyu pays respects to Master."

"Get up." Yun Lintian smiled and reached out to touch her head. "Close your eyes and concentrate."

Buzz—

Immediately, a white light flashed from Yun Lintian's hand and completely enveloped Jia Shiyu's body. Her profound vein began to transform, and all her profound entrances were opened entirely.

After obtaining the Light Pole, Yun Lintian was able to quickly transform a target's profound vein without any risk or pain during the process.

A while later, he withdrew his hand and said. "I will take you to the sect later. Come with me."

Hu Li and Jia Shiyu quickly packed their belongings and followed Yun Lintian outside.

Walking down the street, Yun Lintian suddenly heard a voice from the crowd. "Hurry up. The next round is about to start soon."

"Let's go! I heard that Goddess Yun is also present today." Another voice resounded.

"Goddess Yun?" Yun Lintian was surprised. He didn't know to whom they were referring.

"There seems to be a competition in the city today, Master." Jia Shiyu spoke.

"Oh." Yun Lintian nodded slightly. The competition should be the Azure Cloud Convention.

"Let's take a look at it." He said and strode towards the stadium.
