"Eh …" Bian Heng put his finger on Zhang Tie's pulse once again. The moment he put his finger on Zhang Tie's pulse, he had raised his eyebrows at once as he glanced at Zhang Tie out of amazement.
It was June 30th, the 3586th year of Emperor NvWa's Calendar. Bian Heng started to treat Zhang Tie in Tideviewing Courtyard on June 24th. In the blink of an eye, one week had passed. It was the third time for Zhang Tie to treat Zhang Tie today.
The first two treatments went well. Bian Heng would come here once every three days at noon. After the treatment, he would have Zhang Tie soak in the ocean so as to dissipate his body heat. Zhang Tie also did what he should do. After soaking in the ocean, he would return to Tideviewing Courtyard, put on his clothes and have a big meal in Tigerback Mountain. After that, he would go back to the courtyard to continue to temper his spiritual energy or cultivate Great Wilderness Sutra. If he was bored, he would take a walk on the seaside or climb up Tigerback Mountain to enjoy the scenery. When he was in a good mood, he would directly take off his clothes and rush into the ocean. After that, he would swim in the ocean freely and enjoy the exotic scenery at the bottom of the ocean.
As for Zhang Tie, besides suffering a bit during the treatment, he was pretty comfortable in the rest of the time. He didn't care about what was happening outside and only focused on reading sages' books. These days, Zhang Tie felt like having a vacation in Tideviewing Courtyard. Since he came to Motian Realm, he had not been so relaxed.
"Is my body okay?" After hearing Bian Heng's exclamation and noticing Bian Heng's strange expression, Zhang Tie asked with a guilty conscience.
When Zhang Tie cooled down his body in the ocean for the previous two times, he always soaked himself in the super-low temperature ice liquid. He felt very comfortable; however, at this moment, Zhang Tie was worried that he had soaked too much in it and might bring some bad effect to himself.
"You're fine!" Bian Heng shook his head as he threw a glance at Zhang Tie with an admiring look, "I've not imagined that you could recover so fast. You could receive a treatment every two days from now on!"
"Ah? Isn't it every three days? How come it becomes every two days?"
"Previously, I also thought that it should take 3 days; however, it seems that you recovered very fast after each treatment. Additionally, it's out of my imagination. Therefore, we only need 2 days …" Bian Heng said as he took out a Fire-dragon Qi-Gathering Pill from the small wooden case and gave it to Zhang Tie.
"Two days it is then..." After hearing that there was nothing wrong with him, Zhang Tie let out a sigh at once. After taking the vial, he poured out a Fire-dragon Qi-Gathering Pill and swallowed it. After that, he lay on the bed obediently.
Bian Heng took out his set of long needles and started to prepare. When the effect of Fire-dragon Qi-gathering Pill started to take effect in Zhang Tie's body and his qi sea started to burn, Bian Heng inserted the first needle into Zhang Tie's Shrine surging point in a split second.
After the previous two tests, Zhang Tie's tolerance to the pain caused by the long needles had increased once again. As he had long prepared for the first needle, Zhang Tie didn't even frown. Instead, he could even chat with Bian Heng when he was inserting the needles into his body.
"Senior, your set of heavens-fixing immortal needles is really amazing …" Lying on the bed, Zhang Tie rolled his eyes as he started to flatter Bian Heng.
As for Bian Heng, it was his first time to hear such amazing words. It was pretty fresh. Additionally, it was Zhang Tie. After hearing Zhang Tie's flattery, Bian Heng replied with a faint harrumph. Although it seemed that he didn't care about it, he revealed a faint pleasant look. As he inserted the needles into Zhang Tie's body, he pretended to ask Zhang Tie in a reserved way, "Ahem ahem … doesn't Taixia Country have such a secret method?"
"How could there be such a secret method in Taixia Country? Senior, your skills are unparalleled among humans not only in Motian Realm but also in the world where I came from …" Zhang Tie continued to flatter Bian Heng.
"Of course, heavens-fixing immortal needles are unparalleled in the world!" Bian Heng raised his eyebrows as he revealed his original look with a well-deserved arrogant look, "Heavens-Fixing immortal needles are called heavens-fixing immortal needles because they're a top secret skill left from far-ancient times. I got this set of immortal needles from a secret realm in Mountain Ruins. This set of immortal needles could bring people back to life. Therefore, it's called heavens-fixing immortal needles. Do you think that a random secret skill could be called heavens-fixing immortal needles? If this set of immortal needles is not that great, do you think that I could gain a firm foothold in the territory of Emperor NvWa City?"
"I was told that no medicine could cure five yin extreme meridians. Senior, your set of heavens-fixing immortal needles is so powerful. I wonder whether it could cure five yin extreme meridians?" Zhang Tie finally revealed his original look …
"Although no medicine could cure five yin extreme meridians, it's not incurable. But …" Bian Heng suddenly realized it as he turned around and glared at Zhang Tie with his beady eyes, saying, "Fine, you're trying to get information from me …"
Closely after the word "say", Bian Heng had stabbed the long needle into Zhang Tie ferociously once again. This time, Zhang Tie didn't know whether Bian Heng did it on purpose as the pain was several times greater than before. Zhang Tie almost couldn't stand shrieking miserably as his face turned pale at once …
"Ah, senior, be gentle, be gentle …" Zhang Tie hurriedly shouted. It was not the right moment for him to pretend to be tough. "When I came to Tigerback Mountain, I happened to meet a girl on the way. She's suffering from five yin extreme meridians. All her companions said that no medicine could cure five yin extreme meridians. Therefore, I asked her out of curiosity …"
Bian Heng sneered as he stabbed Zhang Tie forcefully once again, causing Zhang Tie to shriek miserably and exaggeratedly once again, "Humph, you're still quibbling. I think you're obsessed with the girl's beauty. Therefore, you want to sell this old man so as to be a good guy in front of the girl, right?"
"You're wrong, you're wrong. I don't even know her look. How could I be obsessed with her beauty …"
"Aren't you the same? How come you don't know her look?"
"That girl always wears a veil. I really don't fancy her at all …"
"Oh, I see …" Bian Heng didn't know what ability he had. After confirming that Zhang Tie was telling the truth, he looked a bit better as he became calm and relaxed. Just now, Zhang Tie had oozed sweat all over as his face turned pale. "I don't mind telling you that I can indeed cure five yin extreme meridians.
Besides me, nobody else in Motian Realm could cure five yin extreme meridians. However, it would take me a lot of time and effort to cure five yin extreme meridians. It's even more difficult than recovering your qi sea. I'm neither a relative nor a friend of that girl. Now that she and her family members don't have the ability for me to cure her, I can't break my own rule for a person who has nothing to do with me. There are tens of thousands of people suffering from terminal diseases in Motian Realm. That girl's life is important, so are others' lives. If I save her, how could I explain it to others when they come to beg me? If so, I won't be able to do anything else in the future … "
Zhang Tie didn't refute Bian Heng's words because he knew that Bian Heng's words were reasonable. However, it was already a harvest for him to know that five yin extreme meridians could be cured. As for whether Bian Heng could save Tang Mei in the end, it might depend on Tang Mei's luck. Zhang Tie was not Bian Heng; neither was he a relative or a friend of Tang Mei. Given that they were in the same carriage, Zhang Tie could only do this for her.
"Forebear, you're right. That girl's life is important, so are others' lives. Nobody is more senior than the other. However, forebear, you have to pay a price. It depends on the girl's luck …" Zhang Tie let out a sigh as he didn't say anything else.
…
The third treatment went smoothly. After a few hours, Bian Heng put away the needles. At the same time, Zhang Tie jumped out of Tideviewing Courtyard and rushed into the ocean as fast as he could to cool himself down.
After entering the ocean, Zhang Tie went back to that hidden cave in the mountain range at the bottom of the ocean. He continued to soak himself in the icy liquid which was dozens of degrees below zero. Not until the next day when the hot qi gradually faded away did Zhang Tie slowly wake up.
When he woke up, it was already July 1st. It was the first day of the lunar month, the day when Zhang Tie could use Castle of Black Iron …
The mountain cave was very hidden. Zhang Tie didn't rush back to Tideviewing Courtyard; instead, he continued to stay in the mountain cave. He ran his spiritual energy and took out the crystal plate which was used to contact Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace from the mountain cave so as to learn about the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.
These days, Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was still cleaning up the forces and influences left by Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. Everything else was normal. Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about it. However, Zhang Tie received a message from Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace — — during these days when Zhang Tie stayed at the foot of Tigerback Mountain, Woods Medium-sized Domain didn't seem to be peaceful. Dark Emperor Immortal Palace had disappeared in Woods Medium-sized Domain. None of the members of Si Clan who were wanted by the two immortal palaces had been caught. Conversely, the people dispatched by the two emperor-level immortal palaces to Woods Medium-sized Domain became tense with Heavenly Sunlight Immortal Palace. After Si Clan collapsed, Woods Medium-sized Domain became a piece of fat meat. Force Emperor Immortal Palace and Star Emperor Immortal Palace were encroaching the territories and cities of Woods Medium-sized Domain in the name of exterminating Dark Emperor Immortal Palace. Of course, Heavenly Sunlight Immortal Palace which had long regarded Woods Medium-sized Domain as its own territory started to launch a counterattack …
…
After learning about this situation, Zhang Tie didn't give any order to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace; instead, he just told the elders to keep an eye on Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.
As the swirl of Dark Emperor Immortal Palace was involved with Versatile Demon Emperor, Zhang Tie couldn't resist it alone. From the standpoint of humans and Dragon Emperor, Zhang Tie felt that he had already tried his best to do what he should do. For this reason, he almost lost his life. He had not recovered the wounds left by Versatile Demon Emperor until now. If humans and major forces in Motian Realm continued to deal with Dark Emperor Immortal Palace, it should be unrivaled powers such as Star Emperor and Force Emperor and those powerful immortal palaces such as Star Emperor and Force Emperor. If Zhang Tie continued to rush out, the eunuchs would become anxious. Perhaps, Versatile Demon Emperor couldn't wait for Zhang Tie to jump out.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Tie's top priority was to recover his battle strength. He could put aside everything else for the time being.
After contacting Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Zhang Tie instantly returned to Castle of Black Iron and prepared to have a meal before eating fruits.
Soon after returning to Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie appeared in the lobby of the palace tree as he shouted, "Heller, hurry up, prepare some food for me. I'm starving. The food and drinks in Tigerback Mountain are really not as delicious as here …"
"Welcome back, Castle Lord. I've already had Edward prepare your food and drinks …" Heller said with a smile as he watched Zhang Tie under the small tree.
After hearing that Heller had already prepared food and drinks, Zhang Tie almost drooled out of his mouth. He directly passed by Heller and walked towards the canteen, saying, "You're really well-prepared …"
Usually, Heller would definitely follow Zhang Tie to the canteen. However, at this moment, Heller didn't move; instead, he just stood under the small tree and asked, "Castle Lord, don't you want to see the new fruits on the small tree?"
"What's there to see? Wait until I come back. No matter what, they couldn't escape away!" Zhang Tie replied casually without looking back.
Heller didn't speak; instead, he just revealed a smile. After throwing a glance at the small tree, he followed Zhang Tie into the canteen.
Over the past few times, after Bian Heng completed his medical treatment and the heat inside him faded away, Zhang Tie found that he couldn't bear the hunger anymore. As a result, he could eat many times more food than usual. Therefore, the moment he returned to Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie had started to enjoy the food in the canteen.
…
"Castle Lord, you've made a further improvement in your mentality. Congratulations!"
After eating for a few minutes, Heller, who was standing on Zhang Tie's side, suddenly said, "What's wrong with you?
Zhang Tie turned around and stared at Heller with a dubious look. He didn't know why Heller would say that. After forcefully swallowing the food in his mouth, Zhang Tie glanced at the dining table and his hands as he muttered inside, 'Heller's flattery is too strange. I've just wolfed down the food and made a mess here. How could it be related to my cultivation base? Is this an irony?' Zhang Tie thought.
"Ah, erm … I'm too hungry. I didn't pay attention to etiquette. I'm really sorry …" Zhang Tie forced a smile as he took the napkins, knives and forks and started to chew them slowly.
Heller replied with a smile, "Castle Lord, don't misunderstand me. I've not imagined that Castle Lord could still stay calm after returning to Castle of Black Iron after having a wholly new fruit. Your calmness is really admirable!"
"Puff …" Zhang Tie spurted out the sweet juice of the mutated peach. "Ahem … ahem … ahem …" Zhang Tie coughed as he wiped the juice off his mouth corners by napkins. After that, he watched Heller with an amazed look, "What? You mean the small tree has a wholly new fruit …"
"Yes, I thought Castle Lord would have a lot of questions when you saw the new fruit …"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Of course, I won't make such a joke with Castle Lord …" Heller shook his head solemnly.
When he recalled how Heller was waiting for him under the small tree just now, Zhang Tie instantly disappeared from the canteen. Closely after that, he reappeared under the small tree …
Watching the wholly new fruit behind the twigs and leaves of the small tree, Zhang Tie widely opened his mouth at once …
There were 3 new fruits. They were hiding behind the dense twigs and leaves of the small tree. If Zhang Tie didn't pay attention to them, he would never discover them.
They were three heavy, black fruits …
