Chapter 10 Canglan Peak.
Cheng Jiu lay drowsily on the soft bed, his mind clearing from its hazy state. Suddenly, he realized that he was still alive.
She suddenly sat up in bed: "I'm still alive?! Oh..."
A sharp pain shot through her body, and she cried out in agony before collapsing limply onto the bed.
Just yesterday, she was fighting with a woman at the Dao Integration Realm.
The fact that she is still alive is like a dream to her, but a nightmare.
But the excruciating pain in her body told her that it was true; she had survived the attacks of a Dao Integration Realm cultivator and a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
She can brag about this achievement for the rest of her life.
Just as she was losing focus due to the intense pain in her body, her mind cleared up.
The beaded curtain was lifted, and her master slowly entered the room, carrying a bowl of medicine.
"The old medicine master said that you have suffered severe internal injuries and cannot eat anything for the next few days, only drink some medicine. Here, this is specially brewed for you by your master."
Lord Qingxu was deeply saddened and furious that his disciple, whom he had finally acquired, had suffered such severe injuries. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that those two deserved to be reduced to ashes.
Cheng Jiu took it shakily and swallowed hard.
However, under her master's watchful eye, she dared not refuse.
She closed her eyes and swallowed it! It was indeed a familiar taste. Actually, she didn't realize it at first, until she drank too much.
She finally realized that her master was an absolute genius when it came to medicine; the pills and potions he concocted tasted 100 times worse!
However, that doesn't mean it's ineffective, and her master is actually a ninth-grade alchemist!
Therefore, most people wouldn't ask their master to concoct medicine unless there was absolutely no other way.
So her master was completely unaware of this, and she was the one who suffered the consequences.
The key point is that her master was truly devoted to her. She didn't dare reveal the truth. "Master, did you save us?"
"And your Uncle Qingyang, the sect is not safe these days, so you don't need to go to Sword Peak. Just focus on recovering from your injuries. As for swordsmanship, your master will teach you." Venerable Qingxu took the bowl.
“Miyagi, Miyagi, he…” Cheng Jiu thought of Miyagi, the first person whose heart had been ripped out.
"He's currently in the cold cave of Qingxu Palace. His younger brother, Gong Yu, is worried about him, so he's staying in my palace. Your Uncle Qingyang is also there," Venerable Qingxu reassured his little disciple, explaining.
"Oh, ah, he's not dead?" Cheng Jiu nodded at first before realizing what was happening.
"His parents and Qingyang gave him a lot of life-saving magical artifacts, so that little injury couldn't kill him."
"However, he'll have to lie in bed for half a year, and even if he really dies, I think Qingyang will still make a trip to the Underworld," Venerable Qingxu explained.
"If you want to see him, you should take care of your health first."
Cheng Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief. Although they had spent a few days together, Cheng Jiu still didn't want such a young child to die.
Moreover, she was born in a very peaceful era. Even in the Luo family, as a young lady, she had never seen any dirty or filthy scenes.
"Where are the two people, Master?"
Qingxu Venerable's face immediately darkened: "The sect's grand formation also needs to be changed. How could they let these two bastards infiltrate the Guiyuan Sect? Don't worry, they've all been taken away by the Enforcement Hall. Once they've extracted useful information, they'll be executed by heavenly lightning!"
Cheng Jiu suddenly thought of Jing Li Daojun's love-struck nature, and what if their loved ones were executed because of them?
Even if it's not their fault, who could have imagined the circuitry of someone so obsessed with love?
If they were blamed, and a sect leader came to hate them, that would be quite troublesome.
"Didn't Lord Jingli say anything?" Cheng Jiu asked hesitantly.
"What can he say? He caused such a big incident that Lord Mo Yuan personally came out of seclusion to send him to the battlefield to atone for his sins. It's not certain whether he will survive."
Qingxu Venerable Lord was furious at the thought of the other party, since it was because of the other party that his disciple was injured.
Mo Yuan Zunjun's actions also calmed him down considerably.
"Battlefield?" Cheng Jiu keenly caught this word.
"This is not something you should know now. In the future, when you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, or when you are over 150 years old, you will naturally have to go. But you don't need to worry about it now, you have your master!" Venerable Qingxu patted his little disciple's head.
Master said not to worry, and Cheng Jiu really didn't care. Master wouldn't have kept quiet about it when she needed to know.
"I heard from that woman that you've grasped the essence of swordsmanship," Venerable Qingxu changed the subject.
Cheng Jiu tried to recall, but came up empty-handed. "Master, I don't feel anything."
"It's alright. It's probably because your potential was unleashed at the moment of life and death. However, it also means that you have reached the stage of sword intent. With more practice, you will be able to unleash your own sword intent sooner or later," Venerable Qingxu pondered.
"But you should focus on recovering now and start practicing again once you're healed."
"Yes, Master, Master, when I was unconscious, I saw that man. Black patterns appeared on his body. What's going on?" It was the first time Cheng Jiu had seen this, so it left a deep impression on him.
After all, the bizarre yet beautiful thing gave that ugly man a strange charm.
Venerable Qingxu: "This is not something you should be concerned about right now. Getting involved too early will not do you any good. I will explain it to you when you have the strength."
"Oh, right, those two idiots, Master, are looking for the Guiyuan Instrument Plate, but I remember the Guiyuan Instrument Plate is a large array, isn't it?" Cheng Jiu said.
"As expected, those filthy fellows are still up to their old tricks. You remember this very well. That's right, but the real Guiyuan Instrument Plate doesn't refer to the entire array, but rather its core."
"Our Guiyuan Sect's formation is called the Guiyuan Chaos Formation. It is integrated with the formation, so it is not wrong to call it a formation," Venerable Qingxu affirmed.
Cheng Jiu nodded, looking puzzled. "What do they want with this instrument panel?"
"You don't need to worry about that," said Venerable Qingxu.
"Oh!" Unable to get an answer, Cheng Jiu gave up his curiosity.
This attack was truly bizarre, revealing information she couldn't possibly know.
Seeing that she had nothing to ask, Venerable Qingxu tucked her in and said, "You should rest well. I will come to see you this evening."
The medicine worked very well; Cheng Jiu felt warm all over and couldn't fall asleep at all.
She touched it and, thankfully, her storage ring was beside her pillow. She took out the communication jade slip and contacted her gossip buddy.
“Our Longyuan Sect is also under martial law. My master left me on the mountain and he doesn’t go out anymore. The people from the Enforcement Hall are arresting people every day.”
I heard that something bad was discovered in the Guiyuan Sect, and other sects have also begun to conduct their own investigations.
Moreover, that thing attacked three very important disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.
Do you know those three unlucky guys? You wouldn't happen to be one of them, would you? Li Weixin's words were as cutting as ever.
"Heh, you're really something. I'm truly sorry! Your master should have locked you up in the Thunder Pool." Cheng Jiu felt like he'd been hit by an arrow. He'd watched the spectacle in the sect, only to be beaten half to death. It was truly unbelievable.
"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry. What exactly happened? Tell me about it." Li Weixin was curious.
Cheng Jiu then told him about how he and his fellow disciples went to the dense forest to catch rabbits and train, and while they were wandering around, they discovered people having an affair, and as a result, they were caught.
They were chased by a Dao Integration Realm cultivator and a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and were beaten half to death. Fortunately, their master appeared in time and saved the three of them.
"Oh, you mean that Lord Jingli Dao?" Li Weixin said, enjoying the gossip.
"How do you know him?" Cheng Jiu asked curiously.
"He should have become my uncle-in-law. His surname is Lin, and the Lin family and my Li family have always been on good terms."
He and my aunt were childhood sweethearts.
When it came time to test spiritual roots and choose a sect, my aunt had a fire and wood spiritual root, so she entered Medicine King Valley.
He went to the Guiyuan Sect. They were even engaged. Li Weixin's tone turned sour when she mentioned him.
"Then how did he get together with that Meiji?" Cheng Jiu asked this time.
"Who knows? Around that time, I heard that a great demon had appeared in the mortal realm."
He accepted the mission and went to the mortal realm, but when he returned, he brought Meiji with him.
He was under a spell, determined to marry her.
Furthermore, they barged into Medicine King Valley and verbally abused my aunt, saying that if she had any shame, she should cancel the engagement.
My aunt probably still had some feelings for him back then, because she didn't yell back, she just kept crying.
The marriage wasn't called off, but he did too many abnormal things for that woman afterward, and his aunt saw through him.
So the engagement was called off. Li Weixin was furious whenever she mentioned this.
"He himself was too afraid to mention it to his own family, so he came to force my aunt, a weak woman, to do so."
He has absolutely no sense of responsibility. The two of them had been together for a while and were even talking about marriage.
After a trip to the Mortal Street, he abandoned her after starting something, but fortunately my aunt saw through it and is now doing quite well in Medicine King Valley.
However, we severed ties with the Lin family after that incident. This all happened three or four hundred years ago.
Moreover, the Lin family was implicated with a problematic force during a purge launched by the five major sects and was suppressed, now forced to live in a fourth-tier town.
They originally thought that Daoist Jingli, who had become an outer sect elder of the Guiyuan Sect, could lend a hand.
"I never imagined he'd abandon his entire family for that woman," Li Wei sighed. "Love is truly a terrifying thing! I should definitely focus on pursuing the Great Dao."
Cheng Jiu wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, that's right, we should just watch and see what happens! Relationships are really something that gets more and more complicated the more you get involved, and you end up not even yourself anymore."
Two kids who had never experienced love innocently started talking about relationships.
"Speaking of which, I suspect that my master has also fallen into the abyss of love. You have no idea how unpredictable he is. Every time we go out, he's either all smiles and then drags me into the Thunder Pool to bathe in lightning, or he's all deep in thought and kicks me into the Thunder Pool."
"But I don't need to go to that dangerous place so many times!" Li Weixin said disdainfully about his master.
"Oh, you're really unlucky. My master doesn't look like someone who can handle the pain of love."
"But have you investigated who your master's lover is?" Cheng Jiu was a little curious, after all, his master was also a legendary figure.
"I roughly know that he should be from your Guiyuan Sect."
As for who it is? Every time I investigate, that bastard of a master throws me into trouble!
"I, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, have practically made the Thunder Pool my home!" Li Weixin guessed.
"Last time, I accidentally set his study on fire. The papers and jade slips inside exploded like fireworks. I accidentally picked up one of them, which contained my master's love words."
However, the name was burned, but I saw that it mentioned Guiyuanzong.
"Accidentally?" Cheng Jiu asked suspiciously.
"Why don't you believe me, just like Master? It really was an accident," Li Weixin explained.
"I'm curious what will happen when the lightning ball is compressed to its limit."
Who would have thought that there were so many lightning bolts in his study? Then the lightning ball exploded and the lightning bolts also exploded.
If it weren't for my high-level defensive armor, I might have turned to ashes too.
It was my master who pulled me out of the pile of rubble, although he beat me up afterwards and made me clean up the broken study.
That letter was the one I found while tidying up.
