On the official road.
The Black Tiger Escort Agency's convoy slowly drove out of the city gates. Everyone's expression was unsightly.
After walking for a while, a horse quietly blended into the convoy.
"Little Brother Fang. Where have you been these past three days? "
Liu Yan asked, pleasantly surprised.
'Don't tell me you went to destroy a sect in passing?' Fang Xian rolled his eyes in his heart and answered insincerely, "I … went to deal with some personal matters …"
"You're a young man after all. You're full of vigor. I understand!"
Qian Sanwu smiled stiffly.
In his opinion, Fang Xian was probably too embarrassed to spend his time with the escorts and secretly went to seek pleasure.
Sigh … Back in the day, he also had a period of youth.
Fang Xian looked at the convoy and smiled, "Why is everyone in such a sorry state?"
"Sigh … It's because something big happened last night. The Green Jade School was actually destroyed in one night. The flames soared to the sky. Even the corpse of the Sect Master, Han Yunfeng, was found in the morning … Because of this, the city is under martial law. Anyone who leaves the city must be searched …"
At the mention of this, Liu Yan became very angry, "It's most likely the work of an Innate expert. The masters in the city don't dare to make things difficult for them. They just have to vent their anger on us. It's so infuriating …"
This was also the reason why they did not suspect Fang Xian.
After all, no matter how they looked at it, Fang Xian did not have the ability to kill Han Yunfeng and destroy the Green Jade School.
If he really had the ability, he would not have been a mere Protector of the Five Forms Sect.
'Hmm … Looks like there's nothing left to do about this matter …'
Fang Xian listened for a while more and was secretly surprised.
But after thinking about it, it was normal.
With the outdated techniques of this era, not to mention the fact that he did not show his face and did not have a portrait, even if there was a portrait, it would be very inaccurate.
Even if it was plastered all over the city walls, there were many examples of bandits sneaking into the city.
In addition, he did not know the name of the victim, and there was no victim …
Even if he was a constable, he would be put in a difficult position. There was an eighty percent chance that the case would be sealed as an unsolved case.
Riding on the horse, Fang Xian was also reflecting on his actions.
"After yesterday's battle, my martial arts seem to have improved again. Even if I haven't reached the true peak of the Acquired Realm, I'm not far from it. More importantly, I know my own strength. Han Yunfeng is already the top expert below the Connate Realm, but in a life-and-death battle, I have the confidence to win …"
Of course, he did not rely on martial arts. He relied on the Eye of Dongxuan.
But in the end, it was still a reflection of one's own strength!
"After all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Is this considered a good preparation?"
All along the way, it was much more peaceful than Fang Xian had expected, and the group safely returned to Swaying Phoenix County City.
Liu Yan and the other escorts naturally returned to the Black Tiger Escort Agency while Fang Xian took a detour and arrived at the Five Forms Sect.
"I got quite a lot of medicine from Han Yunfeng. I have to disguise myself and find someone to identify them. Anything that can be used by an expert at the peak of the Postliminary Realm to break through should be good stuff … I have to read more books on this myself. I can't be fooled …"
Hundred Herb Hall!
This was the place where the Five Forms Sect trained doctors. They were responsible for guarding and treating the injuries of the sect's disciples.
Fang Xian looked at the signboard and floated in.
"Protector, may I ask why you are here?"
A medical apprentice saw Fang Xian's waist tag and immediately bowed, asking curiously.
This protector's footsteps were steady. One look and it was obvious that he had no external injuries. His face was ruddy and he did not have any internal injuries. Who would come to a medicinal hall without any illness or disaster?
"I am Fang Xian. I am interested in the art of Qi Huang, especially in the field of pharmacology …" Fang Xian revealed a smile. "So I am here to borrow a pharmacopoeia."
"I see. Then I will bring you to Elder Huang."
The medical apprentice nodded and secretly cursed in his heart. But he still brought Fang Xian into a pavilion.
After opening the door, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted into their nostrils, making them feel refreshed.
In the room, many medicinal herbs were arranged. An old man in a yellow robe was leaning on a reclining chair, as if he was taking a nap.
"Elder Huang, this is the protector of the sect. He is here to borrow a pharmacopoeia."
The medical apprentice said softly, his posture very respectful.
"Hmm? You may leave. "
Elder Huang's eyes opened a slit and lightly ordered.
He had a strange appearance and a sparse beard on his chin. But he had a unique temperament.
After the medical apprentice left, Elder Huang looked at Fang Xian from head to toe and said with a smile, "Looking at you, you are not really obsessed with the art of medicine. There is an eighty percent chance that you have snatched some medicinal pills from outside. But you do not dare to consume them, so you are looking for a reason …"
Without waiting for Fang Xian to refute, he waved his hand and said, "This kind of thing happens a lot. Don't show off your wealth. This old man also understands this. Luckily, you are smart enough to know that you should not consume medicine of unknown origin … Otherwise, hehe …"
He rummaged under the counter and took out a book. "The Encyclopedia of Hundred Herbs. Some common medicinal pills and ointments are all in it. Look for them yourself … But if you find something that is not suitable for you, this old man can also exchange it with you."
Elder Huang stroked his beard, and a glint appeared in his small eyes. "You practice the martial arts of the Outer Sanctum. Our sect's specialty products, Spirit Snake Oil, White Tiger Paste, Five Internal Organs Pill … It's never wrong to exchange them for more."
"Many thanks!"
Fang Xian cupped his fists, took the Encyclopedia and walked out.
He had to admit that this old man was an interesting person.
However, even he would not have guessed that he was not just lucky enough to obtain a few medicinal pills. Instead, he had accumulated all the resources that the Sect Master of the School of Green Jade had gathered to break through to the Innate Realm!
… …
Three days later.
"Tiger Dragon Bone Refining Ointment, Spirit Ginseng Vitality Augmenting Pill, Green Jade Pill … They are all good stuff."
Through his own identification, as well as disguising himself and asking some old apothecaries to identify them, Fang Xian had more or less identified all the medicinal pills that Han Yunfeng had brought with him.
Among them, the Tiger Dragon Bone Refining Ointment was a sacred medicine for external martial arts. When applying it to the training areas while practicing external martial arts, it could treat all kinds of internal injuries, allowing one's cultivation to progress at a godly pace. There were even rumors that if this ointment was applied to one's entire body daily, over time, one would be able to cleanse one's meridians and purify one's marrow, creating a body of copper skin and iron bones.
However, Fang Xian only needed to think about it to know that it was impossible.
Even the Sect Master, Han Yunfeng, with the power of the School of Green Jade, had only managed to obtain a small box of ointment. It was not even enough for a few uses.
As for the Spirit Ginseng Vitality Augmenting Pill, it was the real deal. It could greatly replenish one's Qi and blood. If an ordinary person were to take it, they would be so weak that they would have a nosebleed. Only Innate Realm experts who had cultivated their zhenqi, or martial artists who were trying to break through the threshold of zhenqi, could use it.
As for the Green Jade Pill, it was used to treat injuries. It had a miraculous effect on all kinds of internal and external injuries. It was probably something that Han Yunfeng kept just in case.
"Now, all of these are mine …"
A hint of excitement surfaced on Fang Xian's face.
"I'll keep the Green Jade Pill to save my life. Although there isn't much of the Tiger Dragon Bone Refining Ointment, it's enough for me to cultivate a few external martial arts to the Minor Accomplishment stage … At that time, I can truly attempt to break through to the Innate Realm!"
