Chapter 336: 248 Father and Daughter Recognize Each Other_1

A three-story blue pavilion, a secret room.

Ice Silkworm True Person lay on a blue stone bed, his complexion pale and his breath feeble.

The Blood Defeat Soul Destroying Curse had struck, his vitality weaker by the day.

Han Yuwei stood by the stone bed, tear drops glistening in her eyes.

"Yuwei, go, I don’t want to die in front of you,"

Ice Silkworm True Person said weakly.

"I’ll stay right here, you must hold on. Yutong and the others will definitely find a third order Dark Beast, you have to hold on,"

Han Yuwei comforted.

"Yuwei, my biggest regret is having wronged you. I know, no matter what the reason, I shouldn’t have broken our promise. I don’t want to die with regrets, can you forgive me?"

Ice Silkworm True Person said.

"I’ve forgiven you, you need to hang in there. Yutong is our daughter, I never remarried."

Han Yuwei gripped Ice Silkworm True Person’s hand tightly.

"What? Yutong is our daughter?"

Ice Silkworm True Person exclaimed in disbelief.

"The clan originally arranged a marriage for me. I had a child out of wedlock, got enough gossip about it. You never returned, so I had to leave the clan and raise Yutong alone. The first time we met was on a rainy day, so I named her Yutong. You’re not allowed to die, you haven’t fulfilled your duties as a father."

Han Yuwei explained.

With a sigh, Ice Silkworm True Person said, "I owe you so much, Yuwei, you’ve suffered over the years. I was sent by the sect on a very important mission. Once I completed it, I went to the Han Family to look for you, and they told me you were dead. I searched everywhere for you, and couldn’t find you, so I returned to Donghua Cultivation Realm."

"That doesn’t matter, you have to stay alive for me, Yutong doesn’t even know you’re her father,"

Han Yuwei said firmly.

"The power of the Blood Defeat Soul Destroying Curse is great. I can’t hold on much longer. I hope Shen Long and the others can bring back the poison sac of a third-order Dark Beast,"

Ice Silkworm True Person sighed.

"Your disciple and daughter are quite capable, they’ve brought back the poison sac of a third-order Dark Beast,"

the voice of Song Xueqing sounded.

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Xueqing walked in.

"Senior Song,"

Han Yuwei quickly got to her feet.

"I need to lift the curse from him; I’ll need your cooperation. Stay here,"

Song Xueqing instructed.

Han Yuwei replied with a nod and stepped back.

"Senior Song, Shen Long and Yutong are alright, aren’t they?"

Ice Silkworm True Person asked with concern.

"They are unharmed. Your disciple and daughter are quite talented. Enough talk, let’s lift the curse from you first,"

Song Xueqing said.

Outside the pavilion, Shen Long was reporting the situation to Du Yinyin.

He simply narrated how he had obtained the poison sac of a third-order Dark Beast, as there was nothing to conceal.

"Junior Brother Shen, you actually know a Core Formation cultivator from the Five Sage Sect, you have quite an extensive network!"

Xu Yang complimented.

"I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Qin to have advanced to the Core Formation stage. Honestly, if they hadn’t given me a Yin Sensing Talisman, we probably would have been killed, as the Ghost-Seeking Disk had no reaction. That ghost creature was extraordinary,"

Shen Long said somewhat relieved.

"Having more friends means more pathways, and your own worth is more important. If Shen Shizhu were just an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, unable to offer high-grade elixirs, the people from the Five Sage Sect might not have offered a Yin Sensing Talisman. Of course, the most important point is that the ghost creature probably hasn’t been in the Nascent Soul stage for long, and isn’t of a high level, otherwise even with a Yin Sensing Talisman, you wouldn’t have escaped,"

Master Aunt Du analyzed.

"Master Aunt Du is right, there are too many ghost creatures in the Profound Yin Cave Heaven. Fortunately, we did not encounter any mutated ghost creatures, or we wouldn’t have been able to escape at all,"

Shen Long said gratefully.

"Junior Brother Shen, I’ve traded for a drop of Myriad Poison Paste. Aren’t you breeding poisonous insects? They should like it,"

Xu Yang took out a golden porcelain bottle and handed it to Shen Long.

"Myriad Poison Paste! Thank you, Senior Brother Xu. This is just a small token, please accept it,"

Shen Long thanked him and handed Xu Yang a blue porcelain bottle.

"Originally, there were three drops of Myriad Poison Paste, but they were exchanged by other Daoists. I only managed to trade for one drop, brought out by a Daoist from the Myriad Poison Valley,"

Xu Yang said with a smile.

Myriad Poison Paste is precious, coveted by poisonous insects and beasts, able to enhance their toxicity.

"Myriad Poison Valley! That’s indeed not easy,"

Shen Long exclaimed.

Myriad Poison Valley is one of the seven dangerous places in the Qianyang Realm, inhabited by numerous poisonous insects and beasts, shrouded in miasma all year round, and protected by many powerful enchantments.

There are fourth-order Monster Beasts in Myriad Poison Valley, which is more dangerous than the Profound Yin Cave Heaven.

After chatting idly for a good while, Lin Yutong spoke, "My mother and the others are coming out."

Shen Long looked towards a side courtyard; Song Xueqing, Ice Silkworm True Person, and Han Yuwei emerged from the side courtyard. Ice Silkworm True Person’s complexion was somewhat poor, but his face was filled with great joy.

"Master, are you alright?"

Shen Long asked with concern.

"Thanks to Senior Song, she helped me resolve the Blood Defeat Soul Destroying Curse. I just need to recuperate for a while, and I’ll be fully recovered,"

Ice Silkworm True Person gratefully said. He continued, "This time I owe you my life, Shen Long; otherwise, your master would’ve perished."

"This is what a disciple should do, without Master Aunt Du and Senior Song, Master wouldn’t have been able to turn danger into safety,"

Shen Long said.

Song Xueqing took out a white Messaging Plate, infused a spell into it, and said to Du Yinyin, "Madam Du, Taoist Friend Xu has asked us to come over and introduce us to a few fellow daoists."

Du Yinyin nodded and said to Ice Silkworm True Person, "Master Nephew Lin, you should take good care of yourself! We are going to attend the gathering."

"Yes, Master Aunt Du."

Ice Silkworm True Person agreed.

After Du Yinyin, Song Xueqing, Xu Yang, and Li Weiguang left, Shen Long took out two cyan porcelain bottles and handed them to Ice Silkworm True Person, saying, "Master, please accept these two bottles of elixirs; they have the effect of strengthening one’s foundation and nurturing one’s primordial essence."

Ice Silkworm True Person nodded and accepted the cyan porcelain bottles.

"Yutong, this is your father. Aren’t you going to greet him?"

Han Yuwei said to Lin Yutong.

"Mom, didn’t you say my dad was dead?"

Lin Yutong was slightly stunned.

"We lost contact for many years, and I thought he had died, so I told you he was dead,"

Han Yuwei explained.

"Yutong, it’s all my fault. I owe you and your mother too much. Please give me a chance to make amends, alright?"

The Ice Silkworm True Person said softly, his eyes full of hopeful anticipation.

Lin Yutong frowned deeply, she had always thought of herself as a child without a father.

"Yutong!"

Han Yuwei frowned.

"Dad!"

Lin Yutong called out.

Ice Silkworm True Person nodded, his eyes slightly reddened, took out a cyan Storage Bag, and gave it to Lin Yutong, saying, "Inside here are a few Dharma Treasures that your father personally crafted; take a look and see if you like them. If not, your father can craft new ones for you."

"Thank you, Dad."

Lin Yutong said in thanks and accepted the cyan Storage Bag.

"Junior Sister, Senior Brother doesn’t have much to offer, so I’m giving these two bottles of elixirs to you,"

Shen Long said with a slight smile, taking out two golden porcelain bottles and handing them to Lin Yutong.

He had not expected Lin Yutong to be the daughter of Ice Silkworm True Person, no wonder Han Yuwei had come along.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Shen,"

Lin Yutong smiled sweetly and took the golden porcelain bottles.

Seeing this scene, Han Yuwei thought to herself, "A girl can’t be kept from marrying."

"Master, you should focus on recuperating for now. Let me know if you need any elixirs for healing. I won’t disturb your meditation any longer,"

Shen Long bid farewell and left.

Lin Yutong also left, leaving behind Han Yuwei and Ice Silkworm True Person.

"Yuwei, I will go to the Han Family to propose. I will give you a status. If anyone dares to call Yutong a bastard again, I will tear his mouth apart,"

Ice Silkworm True Person said in the end, his face full of murderous intent.

"It’s enough that you have this intention. Whether or not you return to the Han Family doesn’t matter. It’s all in the past,"

Han Yuwei said softly.

"No, I must go to the Han Family to propose. I must let them know that you are not promiscuous. I must stand up for you—both you and Yutong have suffered too much these years. This is something I must do."

Ice Silkworm True Person said sternly.

When Ice Silkworm True Person was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he followed his master to the Northern Sea Cultivation Realm on a mission. By a twist of fate, he met Han Yuwei in a Secret Realm where he saved her life, and he was afflicted by a lust poison.

Han Yuwei sacrificed herself to detoxify him, saving Ice Silkworm True Person’s life, and both privately vowed to be together for life.

After leaving the Secret Realm, Ice Silkworm True Person received an urgent mission and left the Northern Sea Cultivation Realm while Han Yuwei returned to the Han Family.

The Han Family had originally arranged a marriage for Han Yuwei, but she would rather die than marry. As her belly gradually grew, the Han Family members thought she was promiscuous, so they called off the marriage and found another female family member to marry in her place.

Han Yuwei gave birth to Lin Yutong and kept waiting for Ice Silkworm True Person to come back. After over a decade with no sign of his return, she thought Ice Silkworm True Person had changed his heart. Moreover, Lin Yutong was continuously bullied by her peers, being called a bastard. Han Yuwei took Lin Yutong and left the Han Family to live in a secluded place.

Han Yuwei nodded, her face full of tender affection, and leaned into Ice Silkworm True Person’s embrace, whispering softly, "It doesn’t matter to me, but Yutong has suffered too much disdain. When she was younger, she always asked me where her father was. Other children had fathers, only she did not. All I could say was that you were dead."

"Yuwei, I will make it up to you both,"

Ice Silkworm True Person said solemnly, holding Han Yuwei tightly.

"I see that Yutong has taken a liking to your disciple, and indeed, your disciple is outstanding—his alchemy skills are exceptional, his strength is great, but most importantly, he respects his master and his teachings. To save you, he risked venturing into the Profound Yin Cave Heaven in search of a third-order Dark Beast."

Han Yuwei said.

"Shen Long is indeed outstanding; he still doesn’t have a dao companion. Plus, Yutong is also an alchemist. If they spend more time together, they might come to like each other,"

Ice Silkworm True Person analyzed.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. You should focus on your recovery,"

Han Yuwei said.

Ice Silkworm True Person nodded and returned with Han Yuwei to their residence.

In a secret chamber, Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red meditation cushion. In front of him was a black Spirit Bird Egg with faint life energy and some blue patterns on its surface.

He had killed two cultivators from the Heavenly Ghost Sect in the Profound Yin Cave Heaven, and this Spirit Bird Egg was from the Storage Bag of one of those cultivators.

Shen Long studied it carefully but could not identify which Spirit Beast it was from.

He took the Spirit Bird Egg to the Spirit Control Tower and placed it in the Spirit Control Pool.

He approached a Monster Beasts Pattern, placed his palm on it, and poured Mana into the pattern. There was no abnormal reaction.

After a short while, Shen Long approached a black Monster Birds Pattern. He placed his hands on it and infused Mana. The Monster Birds Pattern lit up brightly.
