The white clouds, resembling fluffy cotton, rolled and surged like waves, interconnecting like a chain of mountains. Zhou Yi lifted his head and gazed at the boundless expanse of clouds, his heart shifting and changing like the ever-transforming cloud layer.

With his strength, Zhou Yi naturally had no reason to fear the current situation in Hengshan. After all, even the sole remaining elder in Hengshan had been defeated by his hands, let alone anyone else. However, the opponent he faced this time made him feel incredibly awkward—it turned out to be the Medicine Daoist

Rubbing his scalp in frustration, he sighed inwardly. Taking the initiative, he stepped forward, straightened his attire behind Zhou Wude, and knelt down respectfully, both knees touching the ground. "Zhou Yi pays respects to the Grand Master."

Not to mention anything else, merely by adopting Zhou Wude, who was an orphan, and imparting martial arts to him, the Grand Master had already bestowed Zhou Yi with an immeasurable kindness. Hence, when Zhou Yi knelt down, it was wholehearted and without the slightest hint of reluctance.

The Medicine Daoist's figure flickered, and his hands were already resting on Zhou Yi's arms as he chuckled, "Rise, rise. You are Wude's child, aren't you?"

Upon seeing Zhou Yi kneeling alongside Zhou Wude, the Medicine Daoist immediately deduced his background. However, upon this realization, his heart was simultaneously filled with surprise and delight. If it weren't for the undeniable reality before him and his personal experience of sparring with Zhou Yi, witnessing the young man's unfathomable and incredibly powerful strength, he would never have believed that in this world there could exist such a formidable, young innate cultivator.

Zhou Wude quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, Yi is my grandson." Pausing for a moment, he straightened his chest slightly and continued, "Since childhood, this child has possessed extraordinary talent. He is a genius in cultivation and the proudest member of our lineage."


Following the Medicine Daoist's gesture, Zhou Yi stood up. At this moment, all the momentum emanating from him had completely converged, and he stood calmly by the side of the Medicine Daoist. In the eyes of unknowing observers, he appeared to be just an ordinary young man, far from someone they would associate with an innate cultivator.

The Medicine Daoist's eyes sparkled with a glimmer, while Zhou Yi's heart gradually settled. Ever since his extraordinary encounter at the bottom of the lake, Zhou Yi had become sensitive to the emotional reactions of others. Even though he had sparred with the Medicine Daoist once, nearly inflicting an injury upon him, at this moment, he couldn't sense the slightest hint of malice from the Medicine Daoist.

Zhou Yi let go of his worries, convinced that the Medicine Daoist didn't hold him responsible but rather held a certain degree of admiration for him. Although this response was somewhat unexpected, it was ultimately a positive thing.

The Medicine Daoist carefully observed Zhou Yi, nodding slowly before smiling and asking, "Child, under which sect did you apprentice in the martial path? Giving you two Innate Golden Pills is a great show of hope for you."

Zhou Yi was momentarily taken aback, feeling quite perplexed himself. Amongst the people present, they had grown accustomed to the Medicine Daoist's appearance that didn't match his true age. But for Zhou Yi, it was the first time encountering such an extraordinary individual. The person before him was rumored to be almost 150 years old, yet he possessed the countenance of a young man in his twenties. Moreover, he spoke with the manner and tone of an elder concerned for a younger generation. The combination of all these feelings was indeed challenging to adapt to.

However, under the watchful gazes of the Medicine Daoist and the others present, Zhou Yi couldn't display any signs of his inner perplexity. He lowered his head and respectfully said, "Grand Master, disciple has not apprenticed under any sect nor consumed any type of Golden Pills."
