Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Seriously Ill

"Who goes there, daring to intrude into the Inner City? You are not a disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect; without proper procedures and notification, you are not permitted to enter the Inner City."

The guard of the Outer City, upon seeing Yuan He attempting to barge into the Inner City, immediately stopped him.

Upon encountering the guard, Yuan He quickly calmed down. As a disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, he had previously purchased Talisman Inscriptions in the Jade Cauldron Sect and was naturally familiar with its rules.

If one were to cause trouble within the Jade Cauldron Sect, the consequences would probably be deadly, unknown even in death.

Therefore, he was very polite and explained the whole situation to the guard.

Upon hearing this, the guard realized someone was dissatisfied with the rules of their Merit Hall.

The guard looked deeply at Yuan He, and although somewhat displeased, still allowed him into the Inner City.

It had been said before, everything should be fair and just; indeed, if there were any doubts, one could directly go to the Merit Hall.

Yuan He saw that the guard was quite accommodating, and he breathed a sigh of relief internally, then proceeded into the Inner City towards the Merit Hall to state his purpose and register.

After a brief registration, they required Yuan He to verify internally on his own.

Meanwhile, on another street in the Outer City, Hundred Affairs Street, a four-year-old girl, delicate as a carved doll, was playing with another girl about five or six years old.

The two girls were having a great time.

The four-year-old girl was Lin Chen’s daughter, Little Chenxia, and the other girl was her good friend, Xiao Hua, with whom she often played.

Little Chenxia often came out of the Inner City to the Outer City to play with Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua was not a child of a Martial Family, but a daughter of a civilian in the Outer City.

Although Xu Lianyu, Wang Yilin, and other girls often played with Little Chenxia, she felt that playing with Xiao Hua, who was about the same age, was the happiest, perhaps due to their similar ages.

"Little Chenxia, where’s your little black wolf? Why isn’t it following you?"

Xiao Hua looked at Little Chenxia with a puzzled expression and asked.

Both girls adored the Sky Howling Demon Wolf, which was exceptionally fluffy and very human-friendly.

To the Sky Howling Demon Wolf, the girls’ fondness was a bit baffling; after all, it was an Ancient Demon Wolf and being treated as a regular Little Monster Beast, like a pet, by these little girls.

"The little wolf went with my father. My mother says the little wolf is a very powerful Magical Beast, even she is no match for it, so it has to stay by my father’s side to help him,"

Little Chenxia said earnestly.

However, regarding Liu Qingxia’s explanation, Little Chenxia in her heart somewhat disagreed.

Because once, she had seen her mother lift the tail of the Sky Howling Demon Wolf, giving it a fierce beating without any resistance from the wolf.

"I see."

Xiao Hua said, her tone slightly dejected.

"Say, Xiao Hua, I’ve been to your house so many times, why don’t you come to mine? I’d like to have you over."

Little Chenxia looked at Xiao Hua and invited.

"Really?"

"Can I really come?"

Seeing the joyous smile on Xiao Hua’s face, she was quite yearning for the Inner City, which she often heard from the adults was where significant people resided, not a place for ordinary folks like them.

However, the more Xiao Hua heard people say this, the more she yearned for it.

In fact, the Jade Cauldron Sect divided the city into Inner and Outer Cities because of the different defensive formations established in them.

Furthermore, if Cultivators from the Inner City were to clash, the release of their Spiritual Power posed a substantial threat to ordinary people.

Thus, ordinary people of the Jade Cauldron Sect resided in the Outer City, which was also a protection for their lives.

Cultivators from the Inner City usually seldom went to the Outer City unless under special circumstances.

Moreover, the Jade Cauldron Sect had rules that forbade Cultivators from taking action in the Outer City, as the release of Spiritual Power was extremely dangerous for ordinary Cultivators.

Xiao Hua had heard these words from her brother and mother from a young age. So although she yearned for the Inner City, she had never entertained such thoughts.

However, now that Little Chenxia had invited her, she was greatly tempted.

"Of course, you can come. With me there, getting you into the Inner City won’t be a problem at all,"

Little Chenxia said happily, believing her mother would also be happy to host her friend.

Unbeknownst to Little Chenxia, ordinary people from the Outer City were not allowed into the Inner City, but if she were the one bringing them, naturally, the rule didn’t apply.

"I’ll first tell my mother, let her know,"

Little Chenxia said joyfully to Xiao Hua, about to head back to the Inner City.

Just then, a teenage boy about thirteen or fourteen years old came running over in a hurry.

"Brother, what’s the matter? Why are you in such a rush?"

Xiao Hua asked the boy.

The boy, named Du Shaoning, was Xiao Hua’s older brother.

"Xiao Hua, it’s terrible, mother has suddenly become severely ill. The doctor has just seen her, saying she’s been afflicted with Yin Sha Qi and needs a Revival Pill to recover."

"But a Revival Pill, even in the hands of strong Cultivators in the Inner City, is extremely valuable; what are we to do now?"

Du Shaoning looked distressed, appearing utterly helpless at the moment.

"What!? Mother is sick."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hua immediately started running towards home,

crying softly as she ran.

Her mother was the person in this world who loved her the most; if anything happened to her mother, Xiao Hua didn’t know what she would do.

Seeing this, Little Chenxia also stopped her plan to return to the Inner City and followed Xiao Hua to her home.

At Xiao Hua’s house, they saw a woman lying on the bed, looking haggard and pale, without any color on her face.

"Mother was fine when I left the house this morning; how could she suddenly become like this?"

Xiao Hua said, her eyes filled with tears, sounding helpless.

"The doctor said, it was sudden. Mother must have gone somewhere outside and was affected, hence her current condition."

"Now, only the Revival Pill can save mother’s life, but where can we find such a precious elixir?"

Du Shaoning also appeared helpless.

"Xiao Hua, don’t be sad, I will go home now and ask my mother; she might be able to find a Revival Pill."

Little Chenxia comforted Xiao Hua and then returned to the Inner City.
