"Heal me?"Behind the veil covering her face, Bai Lian smiled bitterly. Her face had been disfigured for over a decade. Her father had invited countless physicians, alchemists, and anyone else who claimed they could heal her, but the result? Not a single one had succeeded. Long ago, she had already given up hope."Thank you for your kindness, but many people have already tried and failed," Bai Lian said softly, not wanting to disappoint Li Ye."You've helped me so much already. At least let me try," Li Ye replied.Bai Lian fell silent. Her hands quietly clenched into fists as she struggled to contain the emotions welling up inside her."Look at me," Li Ye said as he stepped forward. "Just a few days ago, I was on the verge of death. But look at me now. I'm perfectly healthy. I can even stand here in front of you," he added, trying to persuade her."I met an incredible master. In fact, I'm now working together with the Herbal Tower because of his remarkable abilities."Bai Lian looked

"The potion I bought from you back then was extremely well received," Ma Yuan said. "The Vice Tower Master of the Herbal Tower has also tried it and is interested in producing it on a large scale. That's why he asked me to represent the Herbal Tower in finding you and inviting you to cooperate with us." Li Ye raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. "Cooperate?" the young man asked to make sure. Ma Yuan nodded. "The Herbal Tower is willing to provide all the materials and equipment needed. As for the profits from future sales, the Herbal Tower will only take 30%," Ma Yuan offered. Li Ye fell silent for a moment, hesitant after hearing the proposal. Ma Yuan frowned. "Is there something you don't like about the offer?" he asked, noticing the hesitation on Li Ye's face. The young man remained silent for a few moments before shaking his head slightly. "It's not that. I've never officially taken the alchemist examination or anything like that. It doesn't feel appropriate for me to work

"What's wrong?" Li Tianyuan asked as he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, noticing that Li Ye had remained silent for quite some time. Li Ye shook his head and immediately cupped his fists in salute. "I understand. I will go meet Master Ma Yuan at once and explain everything to the Patriarch," he said in agreement. Li Tianyuan nodded. "For now, clean yourself up and get some rest. You may leave." "Thank you, Patriarch," Li Ye replied before leaving. Li Xiang could only remain silent, unable to voice any further objections. As Li Ye stepped out of the study, his footsteps paused for a moment. He turned toward one of the guards standing nearby. "I've been missing for three days. Did Bai Lian come looking for me?" he asked curiously. "She did, Young Master. However, since she couldn't find you, Miss Bai returned shortly afterward," one of the guards answered. "What am I thinking? Why did I ask about that girl?" Li Ye thought, confused by his own behavior. "I understand,"

Consciousness slowly returned to him. His entire body felt as if it had been crushed. Even lifting a single finger was incredibly difficult. His fingers were stained red with dried blood.Slowly, he opened his eyes. His breathing remained steady as he gradually sat up."How long have I been unconscious?" Li Ye wondered, realizing he was still inside the Li family's secret chamber. His gaze fell upon the Sleeping Maiden Root before him. His eyes widened as he realized he had yet to complete the final step.Li Ye immediately sat upright. Weakly, he circulated his qi, checking the condition of his body.He let out a sigh of relief after discovering that the formation of his dantian had been successful. Without hesitation, he reached for the Sleeping Maiden Root and completed the final step.As Li Ye formed a hand seal, the Sleeping Maiden Root gradually crumbled and was absorbed into his body. He frowned as he felt the absorption taking place."Failed?" Li Ye thought. After the absorpti

Li Ye fell silent after hearing those words. His chest tightened, and his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but Li Xiang gave him no chance.Li Xiang immediately turned his back to Li Ye, lifting his head to hide his reddened eyes. Behind his back, his hands were clenched tightly into fists."Guards, drag this child to the Ancestral Hall! Lock him up, and don't let him eat or drink without my permission!" he ordered sternly.The two Li Family guards immediately seized Li Ye's arms. With cold expressions, they dragged the young man away."I have to endure. This isn't the right time yet," Li Ye thought, suppressing his anger."Father, you're only punishing him like this?" Li Cu asked unwillingly. "What if he does something underhanded behind our backs?""Enough," Li Xiang cut him off irritably. He took a moment to steady his breathing before silently watching Li Ye being taken away.***Li Ye had been sitting for hours in front of the wooden memorial tablets engraved with

"What is this?" Li Ye asked as he looked at the object.Ma Yuan smiled at him. "If you ever go to the Herbal Tower, just show this plaque to any staff member there. Anything Young Master wishes to purchase will be free of charge," Ma Yuan said, leaving Li Ye stunned."Isn't something this valuable a bit too much?" the young man asked in disbelief."Why is it too much? You saved his life. Even if you emptied his entire fortune, it still wouldn't matter," the Thousand Treasures Storekeeper remarked, causing Ma Yuan to smile.Li Ye looked at the two men suspiciously. They seemed like strangers, yet at the same time, they gave the impression of being quite close."No need. It's enough that Master Ma is buying my spirit medicines," Li Ye declined as he returned the identity token.However, Ma Yuan immediately handed it back. "The shopkeeper is right. Just keep this token. If Young Master ever needs my help, you can freely enter the Herbal Tower and come find me with this token," he said pe
