Ch 47: The Fountain Of Youth
Liu Dongyue is injured!
Yes!
Although he has been invincible for so many days, defeating all the Heavenly Prides of various Sects.
But he is still only a person.
After so many days of battles, he has taken quite a few blows, and yesterday he even took several Qiankun Force strikes. How could he not be injured?
Those were solid Qiankun Force strikes from Ninth Rank Martial Artists.
Even those in the Transcendent Realm wouldn’t dare to say they could withstand them, right?
Liu Dongyue suffered an internal injury, and it’s not light.
In that case, wouldn’t the Valley of Unfeeling’s chances of winning be considered very high?
The Immortal of Unfeeling from the Valley of Unfeeling already possesses unparalleled strength. With Liu Dongyue injured, tomorrow’s battle is practically a sure win for the Valley of Unfeeling.
The news spread like wildfire.
It didn’t take long before almost all the Sects and Jianghu Freelancers in White Cloud City knew about it.
“Liu Dongyue is injured?”
Several High-Level Personnel from various Sects became worried, because they were the Sects ranked after the Valley of Unfeeling. If Liu Dongyue was injured and the Valley of Unfeeling’s win rate increased, wouldn’t the Autumn Burial Saber fall into the hands of the Valley of Unfeeling?
“Damn it!”
In an Inn.
A strong person from Divine Peak Mountain frowned deeply. Looking at his disciple who was calmly drinking tea beside him, he couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you worried at all? The Autumn Burial Saber is about to fall into the hands of the Valley of Unfeeling. Do those women know how to use a saber? Your Master sent you down the mountain, and you’re about to lose your chance.”
However, the young man drinking tea showed no sign of worry, and simply said, “I, Fang Beixian, didn’t come for the Autumn Burial Saber. My Master sent me down the mountain for training, to let me see the geniuses of the world and enlighten my swordplay. As for the Autumn Burial Saber, it doesn’t matter whether I get it or not. Even if the Autumn Burial Saber is gone, I will still challenge Liu Dongyue to see who is the Number One Under the Transcendent Realm.”
“You’re just as stubborn as your Master.” The High-Level Personnel from Divine Peak Mountain said helplessly.
“No, we can’t let Liu Dongyue lose like this.” After a moment of thought, the High-Level Personnel from Divine Peak Mountain left the Inn.
At the same time, the odds in the gambling houses throughout White Cloud City underwent a huge change.
Liu Dongyue’s previously unchanging one-to-one odds had changed to one-to-five.
While the Immortal of Unfeeling’s odds had become one-to-one.
Those who had previously bet on Liu Dongyue’s victory were now rushing to refund their bets, exchanging their bets on Liu Dongyue for bets on the Immortal of Unfeeling.
Very few people bet on Liu Dongyue today.
“I bet on Liu Dongyue to win.”
At this moment, a man walked over and placed a stack of banknotes on the table.
This stack of banknotes immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“One Million Taels!”
Seeing this stack of banknotes, everyone present was astonished, speculating about who this person was, that he was so rich as to bet One Million Taels on Liu Dongyue?
Anyone who could produce One Million Taels must be from a Major Sect, but this person looks unfamiliar.
“Friend, haven’t you heard? Liu Dongyue is seriously injured. Tomorrow’s battle, I’m afraid it will be hopeless. Your One Million Taels, I’m afraid you’ll lose it all.” A well-meaning person came forward to dissuade him.
However, the man remained unmoved, insisting on betting on Liu Dongyue’s victory.
Many people laughed at him for being a fool, but the people in the gambling house were very happy.
The more fools like this, the better.
Shortly after Li Hanzhou returned to the Longevity Temple, Shi Ming and Sun Yaoxian arrived.
“Greetings to the Divine Doctor!”
Seeing the amiable old man before him, whose whole body was enveloped in a saintly radiance, Li Hanzhou’s Qi Gazing Technique could see the Holy Light enveloping the Old Master.
He must have done many good deeds in his life.
“Temple Master Li.”
Sun Yaoxian also spoke politely.
As he clasped his hands, Li Hanzhou saw that Sun Yaoxian indeed only had nine fingers. Li Hanzhou had also heard the Old Master’s story. When he was young, in order to save a patient, he risked using an ancient acupuncture technique, but it failed, and the patient died in his hands. Sun Yaoxian felt very guilty!
Although the patient’s family did not pursue the matter, because the patient was already terminally ill, and no one else could save him. They had sought Sun Yaoxian as a last resort.
However, Sun Yaoxian felt that he was to blame for using an ancient method he hadn’t fully researched, and in his remorse, he cut off one of his fingers.
To warn himself.
Just for this, Sun Yaoxian is truly admirable.
“Temple Master Li, who is the patient?”
Sun Yaoxian was not too polite; treating the patient was the priority.
“He is the patient.” Li Hanzhou pointed to Shi Ming.
Shi Ming was stunned.
I am the patient?
Sun Yaoxian was also surprised. He examined Shi Ming up and down but found no signs of illness.
“This disciple of mine…” Li Hanzhou explained what had happened to Shi Ming. Li Hanzhou could not figure out what was wrong with Shi Ming, but no pills had any effect on him, which puzzled Li Hanzhou. So he thought of asking this Divine Doctor to take a look, after all, he was a professional.
“Such a strange thing?”
Sun Yaoxian became interested and felt Shi Ming’s pulse.
After a while, Sun Yaoxian let go of his hand, shook his head helplessly, and said, “This child has an Innate Stone Vein. The absorption rate of any medicine is frighteningly low, and his cultivation speed will be slow. He will likely have no hope of walking the Martial Way.”
As soon as these words came out, Li Hanzhou’s heart sank.
Shi Ming, however, showed no expression, as if he had long known that he had no future in the Martial Way.
“Is there any way to change this Innate Stone Vein?” Li Hanzhou was still unwilling to give up. This time, it wasn’t for his own Ascension, but because Li Hanzhou liked Shi Ming, the child was still young and worked hard in his cultivation.
He couldn’t bear to watch Shi Ming live a life without accomplishment, spending his life in mediocrity.
“To change an Innate Stone Vein, it’s difficult.” Sun Yaoxian shook his head.
“Difficult?” Li Hanzhou raised his eyebrows: “Not impossible?”
“Hmm?”
Sun Yaoxian pondered for a moment, then said, “I could refine a Heavenly Vein Pill. Using the Heavenly Vein Pill to counteract the Innate Stone Vein should have a chance of success. However, the materials needed to refine the Heavenly Vein Pill are quite precious, especially the water from the Spring of Immortality. If you can get it, I can refine it for you.”
“Spring of Immortality?”
Li Hanzhou remembered a record in a book.
“The Spring of Immortality from Tianxuan Academy?” Li Hanzhou’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right.”
“But things from Tianxuan Academy are not easy to obtain.” Sun Yaoxian sighed, “And it’s strange. My Azure Dragon Hundred Flames disappeared for some reason. I’m still looking for a new Alchemy Furnace. I need to find a new Alchemy Furnace before I can refine it for you.”
“Ahem, as long as Divine Doctor Sun is willing to refine it for me, I’ll find the Spring of Immortality.”
“Also… I have a good Alchemy Furnace here. If you’re interested, take it.” Li Hanzhou said, taking a pure white Alchemy Furnace from his Storage Bag.
