Chapter 470: Disciple, Please Spare Me (5)

Looking at Master Suyi, the sect leader couldn’t help but feel some guilt and said, “Yuezhen, Yan Rong’s spiritual roots aren’t completely beyond recovery. If there’s even the slightest chance, I will do everything I can to help.”

The current sect leader of Qiyang Sect was mild-tempered but somewhat indecisive.

Though he always had the sect’s best interests at heart, he often found himself straying onto the wrong path.

Shen Mubai, however, responded directly, “Sect Leader, I want a Marrow Cleansing Pill.”

The moment she finished speaking, the hall erupted in shock.

Yuan Ling, in particular, looked as if his eyes might pop out of his head.

“A Marrow Cleansing Pill? You’ve got some nerve! Forget about how wasteful it would be to use it on Yan Rong—do you think a pill like that can be handed out just because you demand it?”

Shen Mubai sneered.

“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing more to discuss.”

The sect leader frowned in hesitation.

“Yuezhen, this…”

Shen Mubai replied calmly, “Since Yan Rong is now a disciple of Xueling Peak, I will not abandon him.”

She cast a cold glance at Yuan Ling.

“I will heal him, unlike certain people who discard someone the moment they are deemed useless.”

To the others, Shen Mubai’s words seemed like nothing more than an emotional outburst provoked by Yuan Ling.

Out of courtesy in front of the sect leader, a few people offered some half-hearted advice to de-escalate the situation, but many secretly looked forward to her failure.

Seeing her resolve, the sect leader could only sigh.

“If that’s your decision, I won’t stop you. But you must understand, Yan Rong is an ordinary mortal now. Even though he once possessed dual spiritual roots, his current state makes him no different from a cripple. Decades may pass, and even if the spiritual roots can’t be restored, he won’t make it to Foundation Establishment. And if his roots aren’t healed, then…”

He trailed off, but everyone in the hall understood the implication.

Mortals naturally had much shorter lifespans than cultivators.

Yan Rong, with his once-rare dual spiritual roots, had been one in a million.

But now, with his roots severely damaged, he was no different from a cripple.

Without achieving Foundation Establishment to extend his lifespan, decades would pass, and as a mortal nearing middle age, he would wither and die.

As this thought crossed their minds, some of the attendees cast sympathetic glances at Shen Mubai, quietly thinking that Yuan Ling had indeed been excessively harsh.

Shen Mubai, however, had no intention of giving up.

She had already planned to use this opportunity to bring the male lead closer to her.

Glancing coldly at Yuan Ling, she said, “Time will tell. Isn’t it a bit too early to draw conclusions now?”

Everyone assumed she was simply too angered by Yuan Ling to think clearly and dismissed any deeper implications behind her words.

Seeing this, Shen Mubai knew she had achieved her goal.

Without pressing further, she softened her tone slightly.

“If the sect leader cannot provide it, then forget it. I’ll find another way.”

After the meeting concluded, it wasn’t long before Shen Mubai received a delivery from the sect leader.

She had expected a few high-grade pills at most, but when she saw the bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills among the items, her eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Along with the pills was a voice transmission talisman.

Shen Mubai activated it with a spell, and the sect leader’s voice echoed out.

“Yuezhen, this matter is indeed partially Mo Dao’s fault for mishandling things initially. If only I had better understood the situation earlier…”

He paused before continuing, “No one else knows about these Marrow Cleansing Pills. Yan Rong’s spiritual roots are not easily restored. Consider this carefully. If it doesn’t work, you might have no choice but to send him back home and offer him some compensation.”
