Chapter 51: Song Junwan
Lan Ming sat in a luxurious room with nothing more than a table and cushion. There was a sweet aroma in the air which made the people inside calm and relaxed.
It was a perfect atmosphere to talk to others. And that's what she had came here for. She simply enjoyed the tea as she waited for the person she came here for.
In her other hand, she was holding the jade bottle in which the flawless pill made by Shen was kept. She looked at it and a smile appeared on her face.
It was then the room's door slid open as a graceful figure entered the room. She was a beautiful lady with long, wavy black hair and striking red eyes. She wore a delicate white off-shoulder dress and intricate red and gold earrings. Her expression was serene and elegant, and the light background accentuated her graceful and ethereal appearance.
As she entered the room, calm breeze of wind flew inside caressing every part of room as if gracing them with her beauty.
The woman was none other the Sect Leader of Wind Flower Sect and also a Nascent Soul Realm expert, Song Junwan.
Lan Ming stood up seeing her and bowed her head as she greeted.
"Greetings, Elder Sister Song. I hope I didn't disturb you. It's just I had something important to discuss with you so I couldn't hold myself."
"It's fine, Ming. You're my Junior Sister and if I don't even give you time, who else would I give it for? Sit down and tell me what's so important that got you so excited?"
Song Junwan smiled and sat on the cushion, opposite to Lan Ming. She then gestured for Lan Ming to sit down. She was also curious about the thing Lan wanted to discuss since it wasn't in her personality to disturb her unless it was important.
Lan Ming got very excited as she remembered Shen Yu and hurriedly sat down. She was going to say something but then decided to first shock Song Junwan.
She grinned mischievously and gave the jade bottle to Song Junwan. She took the bottle with confused look and then looked at the jade bottle.
"What is in this Jade Bottle? Some rare Pill?"
"Hehe, just open it, Elder Sister. You'll be shocked beyond words."
Song Junwan nodded and opened the Jade bottle. Instantly, a intense medical aroma broke out from the bottle and filled whole room. The intensity was so much that it even began to leak from the room.
Lan Ming hurriedly waved her hand as the formation inside the room was activated and all the aroma only remained in the room. She sighed in relief and looked at the pill Song Junwan was holding.
'What a strong aroma.'
Song Junwan looked shocked at the pill and tried to confirm if what she was thinking was correct. She even checked thrice to see if she was wrong or maybe anything was wrong in the pill but everything was good.
Finally coming to the conclusion, she sucked a deep breath as she raised her head. She asked Lan Ming with a odd look on her face.
"Where did you find such a treasure? It's a flawless foundation pill and if given to a Qi condensation Realm practitioner to breakthrough to Foundation Realm, they'll have a perfect foundation, even more stable and powerful than us. Where did you chanced upon such treasure?"
Lan Ming giggled as she put her hand on her mouth. That was the exact reaction she was expecting and she was very happy to see it. Song Junwan was a reserved women who didn't enjoy life, according to her.
Being a sect master didn't help so she always had to be composed. So seeing such a shocked expression was rare for her. And Lan Ming was very happy to bring that out.
When she didn't answer and only laughed, Song Junwan glared at her, making her flinch. Not wishing to antagonise her any futher, Lan Ming answered.
"I didn't chance upon it. Someone made this in front of me, Elder Sister."
"W-What? Someone made this flawless pill? Really?"
Song Junwan was surprised and asked even more details upon which Lan Ming explained everything about Shen and her encounter with him in details.
While listening, Song Junwan put the Foundation Establishment Pill back in the jade bottle and listened attentively to her. As she heard more and more, various expression appeared on her face.
After listening everything, she sighed in relief and said.
"It's good that you actually befriended him from the start. He's most likely from the Holy Lands and being an enemy of him would be pure idiotic. It's good that you befriended him, Ming. You can't imagine how happy I am. Our Sect has a big sword of destruction looming over it and having someone like him as ally would be very useful for us."
"I know, Elder Sister. In fact, I approched him with those intentions but after spending time with him, I realised that he's a kind man. You will also begin to like him as a person when you meet him. He has a charming personality..."
"Oh yeah? Why does my Junior Sister seems to be very silly now?"
Song Junwan teased Lan Ming when she saw the big smile on her face. She could see many things from that smile and felt quite happy for Lan Ming.
Hearing her, Lan Ming blushed slightly and stammered.
"W-What are you saying, Elder Sister? Everything I did was for you and for this sect and now you're teasing me? Hmph!"
"Alright, my dear junior sister, please forgive me. I'm just happy for you, that's all."
Suddenly, her face turned pale as she coughed a mouthful of blood. Lan Ming instantly forgot about everything and helped Song Junwan.
"Are you alright? Why is your illness acting so much lately? Is it getting worse?"
"Unfortunately, Yes. Why do you think I need help from outside?"
Song Junwan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled wryly. She coughed a little more and then sat in a lotus position to stabilise her Cultivation base which was also affected by her illness.
