She raised her head, golden light swirling within her Double Pupils. First, she saw the gentle Yun Miaoyi nearby, who smiled and nodded at her.
Then, her gaze fell upon the Cloud Bed, onto her Master, who sat there with peerless grace, looking at her with a smile.
"Master!"
Gu Luoli stood up, stepped forward quickly, and knelt deeply.
"Disciple Gu Luoli kowtows to thank Master for the grace of remaking me!"
"In this life and for all eternity, I shall forever be a person of the Immortal Palace and forever be Master's Disciple!"
Her voice was incredibly firm, and a raging fighting spirit and hope ignited in her heart.
"Very good."
Gu Han felt gratified as she watched the fighting spirit reignite within her.
"Your dao injury has been healed, and you have even condensed a perfect dao foundation. Your future is promising."
"This 'Spirit Void Heavenly Eye' is a compatible technique I found for your Double Pupils. I shall pass it to you today."
"I hope you will Cultivate diligently without ceasing, so that your Double Pupils may soon illuminate this world."
Gu Han handed the pale gold Jade Slip containing the 'Spirit Void Heavenly Eye' to Gu Luoli.
Gu Luoli took it with both hands. As soon as her Divine Sense made contact, she felt a vast amount of information flood in.
The cultivation method described within resonated strongly with her Double Pupils.
It was as if a door to a brand new world had been opened for her!
"Disciple... will certainly not fail Master's high expectations!"
She gripped the Jade Slip tightly and made a solemn promise.
"Your dao injury has just healed; you still need to stabilize it."
"You two go back first, familiarize yourselves with the environment of the Immortal Palace, and properly experience this new life."
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, Palace Master."
Gu Luoli and Yun Miaoyi responded in unison, gave a respectful salute, and then turned to leave together.
The moonlight outside the hall seemed even clearer and brighter than inside.
Silver frost covered the ground, spiritual mist permeated the air, and the distant Yaochi shimmered with light, quiet and sacred.
Gu Luoli took a deep breath of the air filled with Spiritual Qi.
She felt comfortable all over, as the previous feeling of being burdened by chronic illness was swept away.
The spiritual power within her body surged endlessly, the perfect dao foundation was as solid as a rock, and a wave of gentle warmth came from deep within her Double Pupils.
It felt as if a sleeping power was being awakened.
She couldn't help but raise her hand; a faint glow of spiritual power flowed at her fingertips, clear and solid.
"It's really... healed..."
She murmured to herself, her voice carrying an unbelievable sense of dreaminess, which then turned into a heart full of gratitude.
"Senior Yun... Master, she..."
Yun Miaoyi walked side by side with her, feeling the warm touch of the white jade floor tiles beneath her feet.
Feeling the slight coolness of the night breeze against her real skin, her heart was also filled with myriad emotions.
She turned her head, looking at Gu Luoli's profile, which appeared exceptionally lustrous under the moonlight, and couldn't help but smile softly:
"Luoli, being able to obtain such a creation is a stroke of immense luck, and also an Opportunity earned by your own resilient Heart-Nature."
"Remember the feeling of this moment, remember this new life, and you must Cultivate hard in the future to live up to the Palace Master's high expectations."
Gu Luoli nodded vigorously, her eyes full of determination.
"Rest assured, Senior Yun, Luoli understands."
"From now on, the Yaochi Immortal Palace is my root, and Master is my heaven. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will never back down!"
"Mhm."
Yun Miaoyi nodded with satisfaction and was about to say something else.
"Junior Sister!"
A crisp call filled with pleasant surprise came from the side.
On the path, Liu Ruyan was seen walking over, holding A Yao's hand.
A Yao seemed to have just taken a bath; her hair was still damp, her little face was flushed, and she was wearing cute pink pajamas.
Liu Ruyan was still dressed in her sharp red clothes. Apparently, she was worried about her Eldest Senior Sister and had specifically brought her back.
When their eyes fell on Gu Luoli, they both froze at the same time.
An irrepressible shock instantly erupted in Liu Ruyan's eyes!
It had only been a few hours since she left the Qingyin Pavilion; at that time, Gu Luoli's aura was weak and her Double Pupils were dim.
But at this moment, where was there even a trace of illness on Gu Luoli?
Her skin was lustrous with a healthy glow, her posture was upright, the spiritual power around her flowed harmoniously, and her aura had surprisingly reached the Peak Foundation Establishment!
Especially those eyes—
Within the Double Pupils, specks of golden light were faintly visible, spirited and profound.
It was as if they reflected the movement of the stars, and an indescribable charm naturally radiated from them.
This... this was simply a complete transformation!
In her, Liu Ruyan seemed to have already seen the figure who would look down upon the world in the future.
Master's methods are truly heaven-reaching!
What shook Liu Ruyan's heart even more was the woman beside Gu Luoli.
Her temperament was as calm as water, yet it exuded a kind of wisdom and elegance refined by the passage of time.
The spiritual power fluctuations radiating from her were surprisingly at the Mahayana Stage, just like the three Elders!
A Yao, on the other hand, was mostly just curious.
She blinked her big eyes, looking at the completely refreshed Gu Luoli, and then at the entirely unfamiliar Yun Miaoyi.
Finally, she fixed her gaze on Yun Miaoyi and asked with her little head tilted:
"Beautiful Elder sister, who are you? A Yao hasn't seen you before!"
Seeing her Senior Sister and A Yao, a warm smile appeared on Gu Luoli's face. She took a step forward and introduced them:
"Eldest Senior Sister! Second Senior Sister!"
This is Elder Yun, Yun Miaoyi. From now on, she will be the Hall Master of our Immortal Palace's Pill Refining Pavilion."
"Yun Miaoyi?"
When Liu Ruyan heard this name, her mind also went blank.
She stared blankly at the calm woman before her, as memory fragments about the name 'Yun Miaoyi' flooded her mind.
Before her fall in her first life, she vaguely remembered that a titan of the Dao of Alchemy had emerged in that era, named Yun Miaoyi!
She was famous across the continent for her unfathomable attainments in the Dao of Alchemy, her gentle and approachable personality, and for refining several types of Medicinal Pills that only existed in legends.
There were rumors that her origin was mysterious, and it seemed she had a hidden Sect supporting her, but she never revealed it.
To think... to think that this future titan of the Dao of Alchemy actually came from the Yaochi Immortal Palace!
And looking at the current situation, she was clearly also saved by Master in a desperate situation and given a new life!
Liu Ruyan suddenly understood many things.
No wonder Gu Luoli could rise so rapidly in her previous life. Besides her Double Pupil talent and mysterious Sect, there must have been full support in terms of Medicinal Pills.
And Yun Miaoyi was precisely the person who protected her in terms of Medicinal Pills!
In this life, because of her Rebirth and joining the Immortal Palace early, she actually got to know both of these legendary figures at the same time.
What's more, she became their fellow Disciple!
This wonderful Karma and destiny made Liu Ruyan's heart surge, almost unable to contain herself.
"Liu Ruyan greets Elder Yun."
She quickly composed herself and gave a respectful salute to Yun Miaoyi, her posture impeccable.
Yun Miaoyi nodded with a smile and said warmly:
"Miss Ruyan, there's no need for such formality. In the future, as we are both in the Yaochi Immortal Palace, we should visit each other often."
Her gaze lingered on Liu Ruyan for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Her Foundation was solid, and her aura was harmonious.
More importantly, there seemed to be something special deep within her Soul that even she couldn't quite see through.
As expected of a Disciple personally taught by the Palace Master, she is indeed extraordinary.
"Senior Yun is the Hall Master of the Pill Pavilion. In the future, we will have to rely on Senior for the Medicinal Pills we need for our Cultivation."
Liu Ruyan smiled, her attitude sincere.
"It is my duty,"
Yun Miaoyi replied, then looked at A Yao, who was staring at her with big, curious eyes. The smile on her face softened a few more degrees.
"This must be A Yao, right? Truly a refined spirit, incomparable to ordinary people."
She could feel a kind of aura from this little girl that made even her heart palpitate, pure and vast.
"Hello, Elder Yun!"
A Yao called out obediently, then an expectant look appeared on her little face.
"Can Elder Yun make delicious sugar beans? A Yao heard that Alchemists can all make very, very fragrant sugar beans!"
The childish words made all three people present unable to help but laugh, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed quite a bit.
"sugar beans..."
Yun Miaoyi couldn't help but laugh, squatted down to be at eye level with A Yao, and said warmly:
"I can refine many kinds of Medicinal Pills, and some are indeed sweet like sugar beans."
"In a few days, I'll refine some'sugar beans' suitable for A Yao to eat, okay?"
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Elder Yun!"
A Yao clapped her little hands, extremely happy.
Watching the warm scene before her, a warm current surged in Gu Luoli's heart.
When she was in the Qingyun Holy Land, there was constant scheming between fellow Disciples; when had there ever been such pure camaraderie?
But here, Master has vast Divine Abilities, the Eldest Senior Sister is innocent and carefree, the Second Senior Sister is gentle and considerate, and Elder Yun is kind and approachable... The Yaochi Immortal Palace not only gave her a new life but also gave her a sense of 'home.'
"It's getting late; it's time for Eldest Senior Sister to rest."
Liu Ruyan looked at the sky and said to Gu Luoli and Yun Miaoyi:
"Third Junior Sister's dao injury has just healed, and she also needs to rest well."
"Elder Yun surely needs to adjust as well."
"Tomorrow, I will take Third Junior Sister and Elder Yun for a good tour around the Immortal Palace."
"Thank you, Second Senior Sister."
Gu Luoli said gratefully.
Yun Miaoyi also nodded:
"Very well, I am indeed a bit tired today. Luoli, let's go."
The two said goodbye to Liu Ruyan and A Yao and followed the path toward their respective residences.
Under the moonlight, Liu Ruyan held A Yao's hand and slowly walked back.
A Yao was hopping and skipping, still excitedly talking about the'sugar beans.'
Liu Ruyan had a gentle smile on her face, but her heart was like a lake with a giant stone thrown into it, with ripples that wouldn't subside for a long time.
"Eldest Senior Sister, Third Junior Sister, Elder Yun..."
She repeated these titles in a low voice. Every name would be an existence that would shake the continent in the future.
And now, they were all gathered in the Yaochi Immortal Palace, becoming her fellow Disciples.
Liu Ruyan looked up toward the Main Hall, her eyes filled with awe and curiosity.
She even began to wonder if Master was not a person of this world.
But from the legendary Immortal Realm?
Otherwise, how could all this be explained?
However, none of that mattered now.
What mattered was that in this life, she, Liu Ruyan, stood before the storm began, at the source where legends were born.
She was no longer the poor creature struggling in her previous two lives.
But the personally taught Second Disciple of the Yaochi Immortal Palace, a fellow Disciple of these future legends!
"In this life, I must firmly grasp this Opportunity."
Liu Ruyan clenched her fists, an unprecedented fighting spirit igniting in her eyes.
"Following Master, following the Immortal Palace..."
"The destiny of my life, Liu Ruyan, will surely be rewritten!"
