Yan Ping loved a resourceful student. However, she could not see Anji off because she had actually gotten a cold since her cultivation base weakened. It was lame.
Unlike the other Elders who assisted in the spiritual surgery, Yan Ping was the one supplying most of the energy required for the surgery to progress smoothly. Even after a month of recuperation from the final surgery, she still did not recover past the Solid Core stage. All the other elders were at least in the Enlightened Core stage within a week of the surgery's end. They went back to their usual business with occasional visits from Anji while Yan Ping was stuck in the recovery chamber for the majority of the time.
That one time she left the chamber to pass Anji a specially written manual for her energy stabilisation training, she had gotten sick. It was vexing.
Even bedridden, the blind half-sage insisted that Anji check in with her daily to report the progress on her sound sensitivity training.
