After a tense confrontation, Elder Xingtian and Xu Wendong feigned civility while harboring suspicion. The Sect Master then summoned Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin, leading them to the Sect Master Peak where Li Jiayin expressed concern for her father's sickly appearance. Xu Wendong revealed his intention to treat the Sect Master's injuries.

"You can heal the illness? Don’t joke around."

Li Jiayin’s beautiful eyes flickered, not because she didn’t trust Xu Wendong, but because this matter was of great importance.

This was about healing Li Lingtian, and if anything went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. By then, the entire Heavenly Nether Sect could be thrown into a huge crisis.

"Are you confident?" Li Lingtian laughed, his smile tinged with a hint of suspicion.

Though he didn’t believe it, he was curious to see what abilities Xu Wendong possessed to speak with such confidence.

"Yes, and very confident." Xu Wendong nodded heavily, his eyes showing an unquestionable determination.

Li Lingtian’s physical condition was problematic; actually, Yin Energy was blocking the meridians outside the Dantian, which seemed to happen during the subjugation of the third ghost.

Li Lingtian also deeply understood this, but to break through this Yin Energy and avoid blockages, Yang Energy was needed.

Xu Wendong was originally a Human Divine Soul, and having absorbed a lot of Yang Energy in the ruins, he naturally had this ability.

However, directly using his own Yang Energy to heal Li Lingtian might expose his identity.

Thus, he needed to find another method.

"If we can find the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass, I’m fully confident I can cure Master." Xu Wendong said after a moment of contemplation.

He thought, instead of directly using his own Yang Energy, he could find an herb with strong Yang Energy to substitute.

"That’s a Fifth Grade herb!" Li Jiayin took a deep breath, her eyes shimmering.

She knew that the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass was extremely precious and rare, and finding it was no easy task...

The Netherworld is a mysterious land of gathered Yin Energy, akin to an abyss shrouded in darkness filled with a sinister aura.

Here, Yang Energy is as rare as precious treasures, and obtaining even a bit is nearly impossible, yet it doesn’t mean there’s no chance at all.

The Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass is one of the extremely rare spiritual objects containing Yang Energy.

This herb’s value is astronomical, and its Yang Energy properties greatly aid cultivation, drawing countless people towards it.

However, its scarcity is beyond imagination, and it’s often out of reach even for a king’s ransom.

Moreover, as a Fifth Grade herb, its high grade further amplifies its pricelessness.

"If we want Master to recover quickly, this is the only way." Xu Wendong furrowed his brows, his tone carrying an indisputable resolve: "Otherwise, Master’s condition might take three to five years to improve."

"But... but where can we find the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass?" Li Jiayin’s face was full of worry, her brows tightly knitted, her eyes showing deep concern, her voice carrying a tinge of helplessness.

As a disciple of the Heavenly Nether Sect, she knew well how scarce this treasure was. Even in the Netherworld Pavilion—a place gathered with countless rare treasures—it was rare to see the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass.

Obtaining one was like finding a needle in a haystack, relying solely on the tiniest sliver of luck.

"I do know of news about the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass." Li Lingtian spoke weakly, his voice like smoke dispersed by the wind, ethereal.

His eyes flickered, then he slowly smiled: "Speaking of which, this matter is also related to the Lin Family."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong’s previously dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn’t wait to say: "Please, Master, tell us."

Li Lingtian took a deep breath, as if drawing in memories from years ago to his chest.

He slowly began to speak, immersed in that long-dusty memory: "Eighteen years ago, I was tracking the second ghost near Netherworld City and happened to witness a heavenly phenomenon."

"It was as if the sky was torn open, and a meteor trailed a long tail, like a burning comet, descending from the sky and landing near Netherworld City."

"I immediately went to investigate, but when I arrived, there was no sign of a meteor impact, only an endless large lake."

"The lake was like a giant mirror, its calm surface reflecting the sky’s gloom."

"In the center of the lake was a lush green island where various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicines flourished in splendor, including the Nine Profound Supreme Yang Grass radiating a gentle Yang Energy glow."

Li Lingtian’s voice carried a hint of regret, as if lamenting not having obtained that precious herb back then.

"I thought it was my opportunity to gather these herbs, but unfortunately, the lake seemed to have some mysterious restriction, emanating a strange aura that I couldn’t approach."

"At that time, I coincidentally needed to capture the second ghost, time was pressing, and had no choice but to leave empty-handed." Li Lingtian sighed slightly, his sickly appearance looked even more haggard.

"Eighteen years have passed, and who knows if the large lake near Netherworld City still exists."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiayin immediately turned her gaze to Xu Wendong, her eyes shimmering with a hint of hope, like a torch in the darkness: "Junior Brother, you’ve been in the Heavenly Nether Sect for many days, it’s just right for you to return and report peace, let’s go together to take a look at the lake when the time comes!"

Her voice carried a hint of excitement, filled with anticipation.

Seeing her father suffer, her heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of needles, unbearable pain.

Now that Xu Wendong could save her father, her heart was filled with gratitude, like finding a glimmer of light in the darkness.

"Alright, I’d like to go back and have a look myself." Xu Wendong grinned.

He went to participate in the trial of the Heavenly Nether Sect, which Lin Yin already knew about.

Before leaving, Lin Yin also gave him a Jade Pendant, claiming it could save his life once.

Now it was just right to return and tell Lin Yin he was fine, so she needn’t worry.

"Then there’s no time to lose, let’s set off now." Li Jiayin said hurriedly, her eyes revealing a trace of urgency as if racing against time.

As she spoke, she reached out to grab Xu Wendong’s arm as if clinging to a life-saving straw, ready to head out.

"So anxious? Can’t we wait? I just got back..." Xu Wendong wanted to cry but had no tears.

He had just returned from the ancient town after going through trials, hadn’t even collected the points rewarded by the sect yet, and now Li Jiayin wanted to drag him away again, leaving him a bit exasperated.

Seeing this, Li Lingtian couldn’t help but laugh softly, that laughter carried a hint of affection, as if watching two mischievous children.

As he watched Xu Wendong’s silhouette, a strange look flashed in his eyes, like a mysterious meteor streaking through the night sky: "Hmm? There’s something off about this young man’s body."

"Why is his Yang Energy so intense?"

Li Lingtian was filled with doubt, his eyes full of inquiry, yet unable to pinpoint the reason, as if a veil of fog shrouded his mind.
