The Way of The Dao

Chapter 913 (Vol 3) – That Wound Can Be Healed!

Ling Tian could even see that there were burns on the sides all over Yi Jingwen's face, making the scar look uglier. 

Yi Jingwen was stunned before her expression turned somewhat pale, remembering the past. 

"Master... this was like this..." 

Seeing Yi Jingwen's expression and understanding her thoughts, Daihang Guan quickly recounted a bit of what had happened to Yi Jingwen. 

Because Yi Jingwen's family was poor and had no strong cultivators since generations due to low talent, Yi Jingwen became a servant of one of the top-notch families residing in the Royal City, Sun Dragon Empire, in this north state. 

Within that family, Yi Jingwen served since her childhood to the second young lady of the family, being her caretaker and servant in everything this young lady wanted and needed. Yi Jingwen's parents had passed away some years ago, so her full custody fell to this family when Yi Jingwen's remaining family sold her, which made her become a servant in this family. 

As the second young lady had shown good talent in alchemy, they quickly got alchemy masters and elders for her, starting to teach about alchemy to the young lady at home. Materials and a refining furnace were purchased without hesitation. 

If a true alchemist was born in that family, and became a grand master alchemist, then the status of that family would rise one level higher! 

But because the second young lady was pampered from a young age and was reminded every day that she had a great talent so that she would become better, the second young lady couldn't help but become arrogant. Her treatment of everyone became different, even mistreating the servants who served her, including Yi Jingwen. 

In one of her practices, something went wrong and the alchemy furnace began to shake fiercely, while a terrifying aura emerged from within, alarming the elders nearby. A stream of fire began to rise from the earth. 

Without hesitation, several servants quickly tried to pull the second young lady and the masters out of the place, only to be engulfed by the exploding pill furnace, causing the death of countless servants and guards who tried to protect the second young lady from the explosion. Yi Jingwen was also protected by one of the family's maidservants, but part of the blast hit her, with part of the explosion crashing into her face and severely injuring her. 

Although Yi Jingwen had not cultivated, due to the servants not having the right to cultivate, she still received medicinal treatment to heal her face, especially since the second young lady disliked the scar that had been left on Yi Jingwen's face. 

However, no medicinal treatment worked, and the scar was forever scarred on Yi Jingwen's face, causing everyone who saw it to feel disgust and to dislike it. For this reason, Yi Jingwen was forced to wear a veil to cover a large part of her face. This way, she would avoid indiscreet looks and rumors about the family she served. 

Finally came the world alchemy tournament, where the best alchemists from all over the world can participate and demonstrate their skills, receiving deals and profits if they managed to get a good place in the final. 

Because Daihang Guan had become a famous grand master alchemist recently, he was invited as a judge to this tournament. There he met the family that Yi Jingwen served, and after sending to privately investigate this family, Daihang Guan understood the situation. 

Then, Daihang Guan talked to this family and, after several proposals, because it was a family belonging to the royal empire, Daihang Guan managed to buy Yi Jingwen's freedom in exchange for several rounds of medium and high grade pills. 

From that moment on, Daihang Guan and Yi Jingwen gradually grew closer, coming to have feelings for each other as their passion for alchemy gradually developed as well! 

Needless to say, Daihang Guan had also helped Yi Jingwen to finally cultivate herself, allowing her to be able to be in control of her own life. Yi Jingwen's cultivation base was now at the body condensation realm. 

In addition, Daihang Guan had obtained several heavenly treasures for Yi Jingwen to cultivate, especially to strengthen her soul spiritual force so she could do alchemy as well. 

"After doing a lot of research and trying various options, no medicinal pill could cure Wenwen's face..." Daihang Guan sighed, feeling sad for Yi Jingwen. 

Daihang Guan loves Yi Jingwen as she is, even with that scar on her face. He wouldn't trade Yi Jingwen for anything, but it was common sense that women would want to be beautiful always, feeling confident. 

Although Yi Jingwen might not say anything and say she didn't care, Daihang Guan was sure that Yi Jingwen still felt sad, burying those feelings in her heart so as not to worry him. 

"It's okay, Guan'er... I was worried before, but now I don't care anymore!" 

Yi Jingwen shook her head and she smiled full of love at the sight of Daihang Guan. If it was before, she would still be constantly worried about the scar on her face, afraid that Daihang Guan would get tired of her and eventually get disgusted by her ugly face. 

But when Daihang Guan declared his love for her, Yi Jingwen put aside the worries, feeling happy and joyful to see that Daihang Guan really loved her despite having an ugly face. 

"Wenwen..." Daihang Guan looked tenderly at Yi Jingwen, taking her little hands and smiling lovingly at her. 

After seeing the world for several years, and witnessing and experiencing the same things as his other brothers, Daihang Guan could see beyond the surface appearance, directly feeling the heart. The heart that would contain the true feelings, making the woman truly beautiful. 

And the true beautiful heart that Daihang Guan finally found after so long was in Yi Jingwen. 

Although Daihang Guan's appearance was barely between 23-25 years old, being in his obvious youth, Daihang Guan had lived for several centuries! 

Because Ling Tian had obtained all kinds of treasures for them and made their cultivation bases solid and strong, cultivating at great heights, they were able to cultivate and reach the high levels of cultivation, maintaining their true youth! 

Ling Tian watched Yi Jingwen's sincere expression, not being able to find that concern in her eyes when she saw Daihang Guan. But he understood the woman's heart a little more. 

The feelings formed between him and his wives made him realize many things he did unknown or did not realize about women in the past. 

"That wound can be healed." 

Ling Tian said suddenly, shocking both Daihang Guan and Yi Jingwen, causing both of them to look at him at once. 

"It really can be cured, Master?" Daihang Guan asked in a daze and then looked anxiously at Ling Tian. He wanted to make Yi Jingwen happy by healing her face! 

Even Yi Jingwen couldn't help but look a little expectantly at Ling Tian, seeing him who seemed to mean it. 

"Her wound was caused by the flames of the heavenly fire on earth." Ling Tian said at once. 

The wound caused on Yi Jingwen's face was caused by the same heavenly fire that originated from within the earth! The same fire used to concoct alchemy! 

Remembering what Daihang Guan said, the pill furnace exploding undoubtedly disturbed the heavenly fire of the earth. Although there could be many causes for this problem, Ling Tian knew that it was the heavenly fire of the earth. 

This heavenly fire of the earth came from the depths of the ground, and it was what the major alchemists used to concoct alchemy. Thus, their chances of succeeding would increase by several levels, and they would also avoid tiring themselves out by directly using the heavenly fire of the earth to refine the pills. 

Not only could the heavenly fire be used to concoct alchemy, it could also be used to forge and refine spiritual weapons and items! And it could even be used to attack as long as the heavenly fire was of a high level!

From there one could see the importance of this heavenly fire! 

Some alchemists would even be fortunate enough to find a heavenly fire that had a spirit of its own and, if they were lucky, the spirit could recognize their talents and form pacts or connections with them, becoming their assistants to concoct alchemy and accompany them all their lives. 

The heavenly fire of the earth? 

Daihang Guan was confused for a moment before his eyes sparkled for a moment! 

Daihang Guan never imagined that the real cause of the wound on Yi Jingwen's face was due to the heavenly fire of earth, especially since Daihang Guan had never used it!

The heavenly fire of the earth is very valuable, but there are not many places where this kind of fire exists. Although there are less than ten heavenly fires in the Alchemy Association, Daihang Guan never used them. 

Ling Tian always told them to try not to rely too much on external factors, that if they could achieve everything by their own strength then their cultivation would be better and thus their own experiences and abilities would be superior to others. 

Yi Jingwen was also surprised. She knew a little about this heavenly fire of the earth that is highly coveted by alchemists, but she did not know that the family she served would have this kind of fire.
