“I will return home, but it is not the right time now.” Tang Ning answered while messing with the herbs in her bag.

After listening to her words, the old monk’s face flashed a scheming expression as he stared at her while leaning by the window. The old monk smiled weirdly and said, “Since you can’t go back yet, why don’t you follow this old monk!”

Tang Ning looked at him and raised her brows. “You?”

“The world is my home. Since you can’t return home yet, wouldn’t it be better if you follow me around and see this world?” The old monk paused and lightly traced his long brow with his fingers, curling them. He continued profoundly. “Moreover, you are a weak little girl. If you don’t follow me, who knows when you will be murdered someday, even without knowing how.”

Listening to his words, Tang Ning looked at him meaningfully and asked, “Old monk, what do you want?”

“Hehehe, it’s not the right time yet. Nothing can be revealed yet, nothing.” The old monk shook his head and smiled. He looked at Tang Ning and said, “Don’t worry, I will not harm you.”

Tang Ning deeply gazed at him and walked toward the window. She said, “I still have something to do, don’t disturb me now.” She closed the window immediately after completing her sentence.

Noticing that she did not reject, the old monk laughed. “Hahaha, fine, fine, fine. Do what you need first, but after you are done, it will be time to leave. I can’t get used to the food in this monastery.” As he spoke, the old monk took his wine gourd and prepared to go to the rear mountains to see if there were any animals he could hunt for food.

After the old monk left, Tang Ning locked herself in the room for the whole day, making medicine that could help her body. When the old monk returned with his oil-smeared face in the evening, Tang Ning was still in her room.

The old monk was drinking wine by the stone table in the courtyard, as he continued listening to the noise from the room. He looked at the tightly shut door from time to time and then shouted, “What are you doing behind these closed doors? It is almost night time, don’t you want to eat? I have left something good for you!”

In response, he only got silence from the room.

The old monk touched his head and smelled the herbs scent in the air. A scheming look flashed across his face as he said, “This old monk knows a thing or two about medicine. I can teach you if there’s anything you don’t understand!”

Inside the room, Tang Ning paid no attention to the monk and was focusing on creating the medicine. She didn’t know any pill refinement methods of this world, and hence, the pill refinement method she was using was the one she mastered in her previous life.

“Done!”

Looking at the little bottle before her, Tang Ning couldn’t help but smile, her excitement evident in her eyes.

She had used more than a dozen precious herbs, only to produce this small bottle of medicine. Tang Ning immediately drank the refined liquid without hesitation, and then she sat cross-legged on the bed.

Tang Ning started gathering soul force energy according to the way of cultivation she recalled in her mind. She had previously lost her ability to cultivate and gather soul force energy, even losing the power she already gathered. But now, drinking this medicine once, she regained the ability to cultivate.

Unexpectedly, as she regained the power to cultivate the soul force energy, the swastika on her palm started heating up again. She could subtly feel a gush of energy originating from her palm and flowing through her body.

As the gush of energy flowed, the nerves in her body felt like they were expanding along with the energy, and a faint holy light moving along her vessels, encompassing her entire body within it. This resulted in her body emitting a sacred and inviolable gold light.
