Cultivator With Modern AI

Meanwhile, an old man sitting in a hall was surprised by the appearance of the two women, and his expression became complicated. "What brought you two to my place, Qingying, Chenyu?"

"Yan Jin, tell me the truth about what happened that day." Yan Qiangying calmly spoke as she looked at her big brother.

Yan Jin was taken aback by her words, and he didn't expect that his sister would bring this up, but he then sighed and shook his head. "Qiangying, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you the truth about what happened that day."

Before Yan Qingying could speak again, Yan Chenyu had already spoken. "Brother, what exactly are you hiding from us? Someone already told Big Sis that what happened that day was not the truth, so you better tell us the truth."

"Hmm?" Yan Jing raised his eyebrows at that, he remembered well that there was no one else around that day, so there was no way anyone else would know the truth. "I don't know who told you that, but he lied to you guys, and we were the only ones in that place that day."

"Yan Jin, above the sky there is another sky." Yan Qiangying then looked at his brother seriously and spoke again. "Even though that person wasn't at the scene at the time, I have personally witnessed his abilities, and his abilities are far above all cultivators in this world, so I truly believe in his words."

"Who is that person?" Yan Jin asked with a frown, and he didn't understand why Yan Qiangying believed him so much.

Yan Qiangying shook her head at her brother. "I can't tell you the identity of that person, but he is stronger than Zhu Yuhe, and his abilities are beyond common sense."

Yan Jin sighed heavily. "Whatever you say, I won't tell you the truth, because I promised your son not to tell you."

"You-"

Yan Qiangying waved her hand to stop Yan Chenyu, and she stared at Yan Jin for a moment before she turned to leave as she said. "Since you don't want to tell me the truth, then I'll ask him to help me get information from you, and I'm sure you won't like it."

Yan Jin didn't say anything and watched them leave, but he wondered to himself. "Who was the person he was referring to? How could he know what happened that day?"

When they arrived outside, Yan Chenyu asked. "Are you going to meet our master, Big Sis?"

"Yes." Yan Qiangying nodded to her little sister. "Since Yan Jin didn't want to tell me the truth, I had no choice but to ask for his help. Until I find out the truth about my son's death, then I will never be able to find peace in my life."

Yan Chenyu sighed in her heart at her big sister's words, and they then flew away from the alchemist guild and headed to the Xia Residence.

After they left, Yan Jin went into the alchemy room and asked a young man and a young woman who had just finished concocting their pills. "Yan Ning! Guo Peng! Are you two ready for the inter-sect competition? The competition will start in three weeks, so you two must prepare well, and I hope that one of you can win it."

"Master, you don't need to worry, I'm already ready for the competition." Guo Peng replied.

Yan Ning also answered him. "I am also prepared, master. However, I heard that Dugu Yan's alchemy skills have also improved a lot now, and she will become our tough competitor."

Yan Jin sighed and shook his head at them. "Apart from Dugu Yan, the two of you have to pay attention to someone, and I want you not to look down on him."

"Who is that person, master?" Both of them asked at the same time.

"Xia Tian! Although I don't know for sure about his alchemy ability, his mother's alchemy ability is very extraordinary."

They raised their eyebrows upon hearing that, and Guo Peng spoke. "Xia Tian? If I remember correctly, he is Empress Yuhe's son-in-law, right?"

"Sigh, you guys don't need to think about his status, and most importantly, you two don't underestimate him."

"Yes, master."

Medical Valley Sect

"What are you thinking, Yan'er?" Dugu Zhong asked as he watched his granddaughter lose concentration. "Anyway, the inter-sect competition will begin in three weeks, and I think your main rivals will be the two Yan Jin disciples. Although Meng Yao is a skilled alchemist, her two disciples are not as capable as her, so I believe they won't be able to compete with the three of you."

Hearing her grandfather's words, Dugu Yan gave him a complicated look, especially since she remembered the Xia Tian's pills, coupled with Murong Mengxin's confidence in his alchemy skills. "Grandpa, I think the inter-sect competition this time won't be easy."

"Why are you talking like that?" Dugu Zhong asked with a frown.

Dugu Yan sighed and explained to him. "To be honest, I don't know that person's abilities yet, but I have witnessed the awesome effects of his healing pills."

"Oh?"

"Back then, Mengxin was seriously injured to protect me, but her condition recovered quickly after she swallowed her husband's pill."

"You mean Xia Tian?"

"Yes." Dugu Yan nodded to her grandfather. "Back then, I had checked Mengxin's condition myself, and I was sure that her internal injuries were severe. But by the time we returned to the sect, she had fully recovered."

Dugu Zhong himself still remembered that, when they returned to the sect, Murong Mengxin was already completely healthy.

However, they were wrong about that; the healing pills from Xia Tian's system shop did indeed allow Murong Mengxin's condition to recover quickly, but she was able to fully recover thanks to Yue's Healing Light.

Before long, Dugu Zhong sighed. "You don't need to think about him; winning or losing is a natural thing that happens in a competition, and you just need to try your best to win it."

"Yes, grandpa."

Vermilion Imperial Sect

Unlike Yan Jin, who had faith in his two disciples' abilities. And Dugu Zhong, who had faith in his granddaughter's abilities.

Meng Yao, on the other hand, doubted the abilities of the young man before her. "Hey, Hao'er! If you keep failing like this, then you won't have a chance to win the inter-sect competition; your skills are even far below Lan Yin!"

Lan Yin, who was sitting across from Meng Hao, only smiled at her words, but she herself felt that her alchemy skills were still inferior to some of her generation.

Meng Hao glanced at Lan Yin for a moment as he grumbled in his heart, and he then said to his aunt. "I'm sorry, Aunt Yao. I lost my concentration; I will definitely try harder."

"Master, who do you think will be our competitors in the inter-sect competition?" Lan Yin asked.

Meng Yao turned to her, and she thought for a moment before answering her. "Yan Ning, Guo Peng, and Dugu Yan will definitely be your competitors. However, there is one person who will truly be a tough competitor for all of you."

"Who is that person, Master? Is that person's alchemy skills really that good?" Lan Yin was curious about it, especially since Meng Yao very rarely complimented people.

"That fellow's abilities are truly formidable, and he can even concoct superior pills." Meng Yao then looked at his body and sighed heavily. "Moreover, he has a master who is also extraordinary, and my body has shrunk like this due to the effects of the pills that his master gave me."

"Eh?"

"Huh?"

Meng Hao then asked with a frown. "Are you kidding us, Aunt Yao? If that fellow and his master are so great, how come I never heard of them? They- Ouch!"

"Idiot!" Meng Yao cursed as she smacked her nephew on the head hard, then she scolded him. "I've told you many times not to get cocky; even if you've never heard of them, that doesn't mean they don't exist. At first, I also underestimated that person, but as you two can see, my body has been shrinking like this for a very long time, and I still can't reverse the effect."

Meng Hao didn't say anything, and he could only grumble in his heart, rubbing his head.

"Who is that person, master?"

"His name is Xia Tian; he is the son of Liu Ying, my former disciple."

Lan Yin and Meng Hao were shocked to hear that. "Liu Ying?"

"Yes." Meng Yao nodded to them. "Back then, Liu Ying was heralded as the continent's most brilliant young alchemist, but everyone thought that she had wasted her talent by resigning from the sect and marrying a commoner. However, after a very long absence, she is now returning, and her ability is much better than before."

"Is that true, Aunt Yao?" Meng Hao asked in disbelief.

"If you still behave like this, I will beat you up, Hao'er!" Meng Yao said it viciously. She was fed up with her nephew's arrogance. "Anyway, Lan Yin, compared to this useless brat, I will rely more on you to defeat them in the competition."

"I understand, master." Lan Yin replied with a nod, and Meng Hao gave her an annoyed look.
