A moment later, three demonic cultivators entered the thatched hut and respectfully bowed to Li Yaoqing. "Reporting to Master, as per your instructions, the three of us have delivered the Violet Tempest Python to the depths of the Thunderfire Demonic Cave to be tempered by heavenly thunder and earthly fire. It has now entered the volcano crater and is undergoing its transformation."
"Thank you."
Li Yaoqing waved her hand, dismissing the three demonic cultivators.
She then took out an ancestral tablet, her face full of grievance. "Ancestor, Yaoqing misses home. Yaoqing has already missed the Grand Sacrifice twice. Please don't be angry, old ancestor."
Seeing this...
[You have used 'Ancestral Warmth,' consuming 20 Incense Points.]
Feeling the warmth spreading through her body, the day's fatigue instantly vanished, and Li Yaoqing's spirits lifted. "Ancestor, you've blessed me again! This is wonderful!"
Watching Li Yaoqing kowtow with ecstasy, just like every time she received warmth from the ancestor and started recounting the events of these days in front of the ancestral tablet, a smile appeared on Li Wei's face.
In this place, Li Yaoqing was like a fish in water, growing at a rapid pace!
She had also contributed the most to the family, even enabling the Violet Tempest Python to meet the conditions for its transformation!
[Year 55th: Li Yaoqing saved countless lives and earned a reputation among both the demonic cultivators of the Thunderfire Demonic Cave and the Demon Subduing Alliance—The Deadly Pharmacist.]
[Year 57th: She refined an 8th-grade elixir—the Realm-breaking Elixir, increasing the probability of Qi Refining stage cultivators breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage by 10%!]
[Year 61st: Li Yaoqing grasped the situation within the demonic cave and, by leveraging the favors owed to her by the demonic cultivators, had them bring the Violet Tempest Python into the depths of the Thunderfire Demonic Cave to be bathed in heavenly thunder and earthly fire!]
Now, the Violet Tempest Python, which had rendered meritorious service to the Li family, was also undergoing its transformation. All that was missing was a Demon King Blood Pill!
"Ancestor, I heard that something happened back home. Please rest assured, old ancestor, as long as you give the order, Yaoqing will have the Su family eradicated!"
Li Yaoqing's voice suddenly turned ruthless.
Even though she was far away from home, Li Yaoqing was still aware of the family's affairs. No one could harm her family, not even the Skyveil Sect!
...
The scene shifted to [Azure Cloud City - A Private School in the Southeast Corner].
In the largest city of the Azure Cloud region, there was a private school that taught reading and writing to children from poor families.
At this moment, the childish voices of children reading aloud echoed through the modestly furnished private school.
The teacher was none other than Li Yaowen, sitting in a wheelchair!
Li Yaowen was already 48 years old. Once a delicate beauty, as lovely as a snow lotus, she had managed to stave off the worst of aging with the help of the Li family's spiritual medicines.
But now, after years away from home, she seemed to have aged dramatically. Wrinkles etched her face; her hair was dry and brittle with strands of white woven through it like creeping vines, and, strangely, her eyes were covered with a white cloth.
[Year 55th: Li Yaowen had seen all the beautiful scenery of Azure Cloud region.]
[In the Azure Cloud region, relying on the experts she brought from the family, she established an assassin organization called Dawn, which was used to amass wealth and send it back to the family.]
[Year 56th: Li Yaowen became a zither player, playing music in a teahouse.]
[Year 57th: Li Yaowen became a vegetable-selling peasant woman.]
[Year 58th: Li Yaowen became a...]
[Year 62nd: A tribulation sent from the heavens tormented her soul, leaving her blind.]
The students had just left the private school.
"Cough, cough!"
Li Yaowen coughed, and the handkerchief covering her mouth was stained with an alarming amount of blood.
"Fourth Miss!" A dozen maids appeared within the small private school. The one leading them was filled with worry upon seeing Li Yaowen's condition.
Li Yaowen shook her head.
"It's nothing. What's the situation back home?"
The maid replied, "We've investigated. Young Master Yunlin was targeted for assassination and is currently leading the sect's mid-Golden Core stage elder to eradicate the Su family. However, it seems Young Master Yunlin has fallen into a trap set by the Su family. Fortunately, the family's experts have already gone to the rescue. Fourth Miss, should we mobilize the forces of Dawn to wipe out the Su family?"
Li Yaowen's expression remained unchanged; she simply dismissed the maids.
She slowly took out the ancestral tablet.
The next moment, Li Wei, in front of the screen, saw a pop-up window appear in the game interface.
[Your descendant Li Yaowen is reporting to you all the intelligence on the Su family, including a map of their trap formations...]
