Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1347: Chapter 1347: Such Opportunities All Come Because of Her

”So that’s how it is.” Huayue and others were filled with emotion, looking at Han Yan with excitement on their faces.

The most excited of all was Tang Bufan, who had thought he would never be able to cultivate in his lifetime. Unexpectedly, in just one night, his injuries healed, and he opened the legendary Hidden Meridian. His initially mediocre talent instantly transformed into one that even countless so-called geniuses envied, with his strength directly advancing to the Eighth Rank Sword Master.

Feeling the endlessly surging Qi in his meridians, Tang Bufan felt as if he were dreaming.

”Han Yan, absorbing the Nine Heavens Star Power must have been quite risky, right?” Huayue suddenly asked.

Han Yan nodded, the danger was indeed great. If it weren’t for Star Illusion Thousand Machine risking soul loss to save her, she might not have survived. However, there was no need to share these details with them.

”Actually, before refining that Nine Heavens Star Power, the Hidden Meridian opened by itself, without experiencing any risk.” As she spoke, Huayue looked firmly at Han Yan.

”It seems the same happened for me; the Hidden Meridian just inexplicably opened on its own, unrelated to the Nine Heavens Star Power.” Jiang Yuzhe thought for a moment and added.

Han Yan was slightly stunned, she had initially thought that Huayue and others could open the Hidden Meridian and advance so significantly due to the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate and Ruyi Hair Crown. Now she realized her understanding had been too simplistic.

The Qi required for their advancement was certainly refined from the Heavenly Star Power, but opening the Hidden Meridian had nothing to do with it.

Could it be, as before, related to her somehow?

Clearly, Huayue and others shared the same suspicion and confusion, a puzzlement that they had harbored all along.

”Don’t look at me like that, I have no clue why either.” Han Yan shrugged.

Now, she was even more certain that Huayue and her group appearing around her was no coincidence, everything had been arranged long before. Though they indeed gained many unimaginable benefits by following her, she couldn’t figure out the fundamental reason for it all.

Huayue did not press further; although confused, they knew finding an answer would be difficult.

”By the way, where is Zirong?” Han Yan asked.

Previously focused entirely on Tang Bufan’s injuries and change in talent, she hadn’t noticed anyone else missing, but now realized someone was absent.

”Maybe something happened?” Huayue said worriedly.

To be honest, Zirong’s natural talent and strength surpassed Jiang Yuzhe, on par with Huayue, and even higher than Tang Bufan. With them breaking through the Hidden Meridian and greatly enhancing their strength, Zirong couldn’t possibly be left behind.

Anxiety gripping their hearts, they swiftly headed towards Zirong’s room.

”Zirong!” Han Yan exclaimed as she pushed open the door.

At that moment, Zirong was sitting cross-legged, his face turning increasingly dark, showing immense pain.

Zirong struggled to open his eyes, attempting to squeeze out a smile, but couldn’t manage it at all.

Han Yan and Huayue were startled, hurrying to his side.

”It seems like poisoning; who would infiltrate the Princess Mansion to poison him, could it be Wu Tianxiong?” Jiang Yuzhe clenched his fist in surprise and fury, eyes almost burning with fire.

”Can’t you... use your brain a little?” Zirong quipped, just like before, stingingly.

”Don’t speak.” Han Yan glowered at Zirong.

”What exactly happened?” Jiang Yuzhe, though rebuked by Zirong, was not upset; instead, he anxiously asked.

”It’s the toxic outbreak of the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder.” Han Yan said gravely, the elation of advancing to Great Sword Master vanished, her face turning exceptionally grim.

”Didn’t Brother Ye help seal it previously, why is it breaking out now?” Jiang Yuzhe asked puzzled.

All of them deeply admired Ye Lanfeng’s strength, believing that as long as the seal was in place, Zirong could rest easy for decades, possibly even live a long life, never expecting the toxicity to flare up so quickly.

”Because he too broke through the Hidden Meridian.” Han Yan quickly found the reason and explained, ”Lan Feng’s technique was extremely ingenious, fundamentally relying on his meridian points, thus not affecting his cultivation, while sealing all the toxins of the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder. But now, with Zirong’s meridians transformed by breaking through the Hidden Meridian, the seal naturally fails.”

”What should we do?” Jiang Yuzhe was momentarily stunned, asking urgently.

Han Yan fell silent, unsure of the solution herself.

”How about trying the last method again, let me draw out the poison this time.” Jiang Yuzhe, more anxious with no response from Han Yan, said rolling up his sleeves.

Though Zirong would often rebuke him, their playful back-and-forth deepened their bonds.

”Have you forgotten? That method can only be used once.” Han Yan shook her head.

”But what if we’re lucky? Maybe we can try it anyway.” Jiang Yuzhe insisted.

Try it? Han Yan’s eyes slightly brightened, though the sealing technique was said to be usable only once, but with Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe breaking the Hidden Meridian, their bodies drastically transformed, perhaps it was worth trying again.

But quickly, the light in her eyes dimmed, dismissing the thought. The sealing technique was too risky; should it succeed, fine, but if not, Jiang Yuzhe and Huayue would be jeopardized, and considering the minimal chance of success, she couldn’t and wouldn’t risk their lives.

If only Ling Baobao’s Chaos Heavenly Fire could be used, she’d be fully confident in cleansing the poison herself, however potent, the Thousand Poison Corrosive Powder shouldn’t surpass the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill, but unfortunately, the Chaos Heavenly Fire remained dormant, if not for the Heaven and Earth Contract’s psychic link, Han Yan would hardly feel its presence, let alone use it.

Han Yan was completely at a loss.

”Let’s start now; with your current strength, you alone might barely manage it, if necessary, Huayue and Bufan can assist a bit.” Jiang Yuzhe urged.

”Yu Zhe... please don’t.” Zirong, enduring the fierce pain from toxic eruption, interrupted him.

”Han Yan, in this world... I have only Qing Wan as a relative, please, take care of her.” With that, he solemnly addressed Han Yan.

”Zirong...” Han Yan’s voice choked, witnessing the calm and decisive look in Zirong’s eyes, her mind felt muddled.
