"Now's the time!"
Seeing that the Liefeng Sage had left, Su Yin swiftly morphed into a spirit in the night sky.
Since Lu Qianxun was his Little Senior, and she had gotten injured because of his teacher, he couldn't just watch as she was captured.
His movements were swift, reminiscent of a fleeting shadow.
Incense Thief Movement Art!
He had executed this move several times using the power of laws of Casanova, and he had already mastered it. On top of that, he had also learned the Great Dao of Casanova, so he was able to fuse perfectly with the night sky. As long as one wasn't a Saint, one wouldn't be able to notice it.
While it was still slightly lacking compared to Song Yu, it was more than sufficient for the current situation.
Wuuuuuuuu!
A breath later, Zhang Xuan appeared before Lu Qiuran. He opened his arms and hugged her gently. Following which, he grabbed the cauldron that was flying toward him and kept it into his storage ring. Then, he took out the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle and flicked it across the air.
Hu!
He dived into the shuttle and disappeared.
"This …"
"It seems like someone is helping her!"
It was only then that those who had come to capture Lu Qiuran realized that she had already escaped. They glanced at one another anxiously.
"What do we do?"
Lu Qiuran was already severely injured, but she still managed to escape. They were truly useless.
"We can only report the truth …"
Left with no choice, they could only return to the peak and report the matter to the Liefeng Sage.
"She's a Quasi-Saint consummation expert. Even if she's severely injured, she's still not someone you can catch up to.
The Liefeng Sage waved his hand nonchalantly.
It was only then that the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. They turned to look at the middle-aged man before them with admiration.
This was the demeanor of a Saint. It was admirable!
…
In a dilapidated and uninhabited farmhouse, Su Yin looked at the young lady lying on the bed before him.
He had left the herb mountain with the help of the Cloudpiercing Shuttle. Fearing that he would be caught, he had traveled eight times before he found this place.
This place was at least several dozen thousand li away from the herb mountain.
Upon entering the courtyard, Zhang Xuan immediately sealed the surroundings to ensure that not the slightest bit of aura leaked out before taking the other party's pulse.
Soon, his face turned livid.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Liefeng Sage was so generous as to turn and leave. The attack just now was not only physical, but also spiritual. His Senior Sister's meridians were already broken, and her soul was severely injured. If there were no accidents, she would not be able to survive the night!
"How ruthless!"
His eyes were filled with anger.
Even though he said that he was forced into a corner and that he couldn't bear to do so, he didn't hold back at all. It seemed like he was putting on an act for others to see, so as to give others the impression that he had no choice but to make a move against Little Senior.
No wonder he could become friends with Lu Kang. He was indeed a complete hypocrite!
He loosened his fingers from taking her pulse.
An injury of this level was simply too severe. If it were any other physician, it would be very difficult for them to save him. Even for Zhang Xuan, his chances of success were less than thirty percent.
"I can only take the risk and try …"
Taking a deep breath, Su Yin looked at his storage ring.
Xue Qianqiu's storage ring didn't contain too many medicinal herbs, but Yin Ruohai's storage ring was like a huge storehouse of medicinal herbs. There were medicinal herbs from a thousand years to ten thousand years old, and it was even more abundant than the Qingyuan Sect.
This fellow was a Quasi-Saint, and he had a chance of becoming a Pill Sage. How could he possibly lack medicinal herbs?
It didn't take long for Su Yin to gather all the medicinal herbs needed to save Lu Qiuqiu's life. Just as he was about to concoct a medicinal solution to see if it could bring Lu Qiuqiu back to life, he suddenly heard the feeble voice of Li Shixiong.
"There's no need to concoct a medicinal solution. Find a way to open her storage ring and see if there's a golden jade bottle inside!"
Su Yin was taken aback for a moment before following Li Shixiong's instructions. He took Lu Qiuqiu's storage ring and used a unique method to erase her Soul Imprint before extending his consciousness into it.
As expected of the disciple of a Pill Sage, there were even more medicinal herbs and countless medicinal formulas in there. Most of them had been compiled by Li Shixiong personally, and they contained valuable clinical experience.
Ignoring the books, Su Yin looked around and found a golden jade bottle in the corner. With a flick of his wrist, the golden jade bottle appeared in his hand.
"Is this the one?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Un …" With a complicated look in his eyes, Li Shixiong instructed, "Pour out two drops for her to consume. No more, no less."
"Alright!"
Su Yin knew that his teacher was only saying this to save Lu Qiuqiu, so he uncorked the bottle and took a whiff.
In an instant, he felt concentrated spiritual energy gushing into his nostrils.
It was likely to be an extremely potent medicinal solution. At the very least, he was unable to concoct it at the moment.
Walking up to Lu Qiuqiu, Zhang Xuan was just about to pour the medicinal solution into her mouth when he suddenly noticed that her tightly shut eyes had already opened.
"Give me the bottle!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was holding onto the bottle, Lu Qiuqiu's eyes narrowed as she struggled to grab it.
Due to her severe injuries, she exerted too much strength, causing her wounds to tear open. Fresh blood gushed from the corner of her lips once more.
"Don't move! I'll treat your injuries first! "
Knowing that Lu Qiuqiu's injuries would only worsen if he allowed her to do as she pleased, Su Yin shook his head and pressed down lightly.
A powerful surge of energy gushed out and bound Lu Qiuqiu tightly to the bed.
Sensing this surge of energy, Lu Qiuqiu knew that she would not be able to withstand it even if she was at her peak. Thus, she turned to look at the young man before her once more.
He looked extremely young, probably in his early twenties. She had never seen him before.
"Who are you?"
Stopping Su Yin from treating her injuries, Lu Qiuqiu asked.
"You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that I'm here to save your life …" Su Yin shook his head.
It was not that he did not want to reveal the truth, but Lu Qiuqiu's injuries were simply too severe. If he were to reveal the truth, it was likely that she would not be able to take it and die on the spot.
"Forget it, there's no need to trouble yourself. My injuries are incurable …"
Lu Qiuqiu shook her head and sighed.
As the disciple of the Apothecary Saint, she had treated countless illnesses in her life, so how could she not know what was going on?
Her injuries were incurable.
"How would you know if you don't try?" Su Yin replied with a smile.
Lu Qiuqiu shook her head. "I know that I don't have long to live, so there's no need for me to waste medicinal herbs on you! I'm grateful that you saved me from the Herb Mountain, but can you … grant me a request? "
"What is it?" Su Yin asked.
"In my storage ring … there's evidence of Lu Kang colluding with the Firmament Saint. I hope that you can announce it to the world. As long as you can do it, I'm willing to impart all of my medical skills to you …"
Lu Qiuqiu said weakly.
"You'll have to do it yourself …"
Su Yin did not think that his Senior Sister would still want to punish the scum of her sect. He shook his head and gently opened her mouth before tipping the bottle over.
"What are you doing? This is the only gift that my teacher left for me …"
Lu Qiuqiu struggled with all her might.
Su Yin could not be bothered with the other party. With a light tap of his finger, Lu Qiuqiu found herself unable to move at all. He took out two drops of the medicinal liquid and dripped them into her mouth before releasing her.
As soon as the medicinal liquid entered her body, it immediately dissolved. Lu Qiuqiu's pale face was visibly flushed red. Not only were her physical injuries healed, but the wounds on her soul were also being nourished. She was slowly recovering from her previous weakness.
Before she could figure out what was going on, Lu Qiuqiu's body stiffened. Her eyes reddened, and her body trembled uncontrollably. "Did my teacher leave this for me to save my life?"
Su Yin nodded silently.
After uncorking the bottle, he immediately knew what was inside. It was the Life Returning Medicinal Liquid that his teacher had concocted using his own blood essence.
It harnessed his lifetime of understanding of medicine, as well as the Qi of Saint Spirit. As long as one's cultivation had not reached the level of a Saint and they were still breathing, they could be healed in no time!
The Life Returning Medicinal Liquid was sealed in a jade bottle and given as an ordinary gift. Even though Lu Qiuqiu had carried it with her for ten thousand years, she was still unaware of it.
It did not take long for Lu Qiuqiu to recover from her shock. At this moment, the medicinal properties of the Life Returning Medicinal Liquid had mostly healed. She sat up and looked at the young man before her. "Who in the world are you? How did you know that this is a gift that my teacher gave me? "
"Didn't you already figure it out?"
Su Yin smiled. "Senior Sister Lu!"
Lu Qiuqiu's body stiffened, and her breathing hastened. She took a few deep breaths before she was able to suppress the agitation in her heart. With a quivering voice, she asked, "Teacher, where is he?"
"Qiuqiu …" Li Shihun's fragmented will surfaced. It was already close to becoming transparent. It was clear that Lv Kang had assimilated another portion of the sage's corpse during this period of time.
"Teacher …"
Seeing that it was indeed her teacher's fragmented will, Lu Qiuqiu was filled with excitement. She quickly reacted and said anxiously, "I'll go find Lv Kang and stop him from assimilating the sage's corpse …"
"You won't be able to see him … Since he has already begun, he won't come out until he has assimilated the sage's corpse."
Li Shihun shook his head.
He knew his disciple very well. Since she had decided to do it, she had to succeed. She would not give up halfway. Otherwise, after causing such a huge commotion, even if she did not come out of seclusion, she would have said something. However, Lv Kang did nothing and allowed the Gale Saint to severely injure him.
"What should we do then? If he succeeds, you … will never be able to come back to life! "Lu Qiuqiu said.
Having lived in the Celestial World for ten thousand years and followed the Medicine Saint for a long time, she knew what conditions were needed to revive a fragmented will.
"With your current strength, even if you go there, it will be futile. You might even lose your life!"
Li Shihun shook his head. "If you really want to save me, work with your junior brother and find a way to make him the new Medicine Saint! He has already obtained all of my heritage and even the title of a Saint! "
Lu Qiuqiu nodded. "Alright!"
"You don't want to fight for this slot?"
Li Shihun asked when he saw her resolute answer without any hesitation.
Lu Qiuqiu shook her head. "I want to, but I know where my abilities lie. The Medicine Saint has too much to shoulder. I can't do it!"
"You're not greedy, you're not impatient, and you're not greedy. I didn't expect you, who I thought was the most useless back then, to have the best attitude!"
Li Shihun smiled bitterly.
His medical skills were invincible all his life, but unfortunately … his judgment was too poor!
After a pause, he continued, "Where's Yu Chen?"
"Second Senior Brother … was killed by that traitor Lu Kang!" Lu Qiuqiu gritted her teeth.
Li Shihun asked, "What happened?"
Lu Qiuqiu's voice was sorrowful. "Seven thousand years ago, Second Senior Brother and I found Lu Kang to seek justice from him. In the end, we were ambushed. Second Senior Brother risked his life to save me, and he … never left! Before he died, he told me to change my name and not to cause trouble. This time, if I didn't feel that the path was clear and knew that the traitor would refine Teacher's remains, I might not have come out! "
Li Shihun sighed. He could not say a word. After a while, he said, "This is your Junior Brother, Su Yin. If you want to save me, listen to his arrangements! I'm weak now, and I can't stay in the outside world for long … "
As soon as he finished speaking, the lingering will disappeared.
"Teacher …"
Lu Qiuqiu turned to look at the young man. Her knees went weak, and she fell to the ground. "Junior Brother, you … must save Teacher!"
"Senior Sister, you can't …" Su Yin also fell to his knees.
"Alright, don't make it sound like a couple kowtowing to each other. If you want to do it, do it quickly. Just now, you went to cause trouble and alerted the enemy. Lu Kang sped up the refinement of the Saint's remains! There's not much time left for you … "
Song Yu's lingering will appeared.
"This is …" Lu Qiuqiu was stunned.
Su Yin introduced, "This is Love Saint Song Yu. He's right. We don't have much time left. Let's do it quickly!"
It had been close to half an hour since he saved Lu Qiuqiu. If they did not hurry, Li Shihun's lingering will might really be lost.
"What do we do now?" Lu Qiuqiu did not say anything else. She looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
Su Yin explained the plan that they had agreed on earlier.
Lu Qiuqiu quickly shook her head. "That's impossible. The Sword Saint's remains are protected even more carefully than Teacher's … Outsiders won't be able to get in!"
"Tell me the details!" Su Yin said.
He knew nothing about the Sword Qi Pavilion. Perhaps, he could obtain some useful information from Song Yu.
"I've treated the sword cultivators of the Sword Qi Pavilion before, so I know some information. The reason why the Sword Saint's remains have been well preserved until now and no one dares to touch it is because of the powerful Sword Will in his body. If he's not recognized, even a Saint can kill him. That's why people are wary of him. Secondly … there are many forces keeping him in check!
"The Firmament Saint and the Yellow Spring Saint seem to be united on the surface, but in reality, they're at odds with each other on many matters. They're afraid that the other party will become stronger and lose the balance.
"The Sword Saint's Great Dao is unparalleled. No matter who obtains it, they'll have the upper hand. So, even if they can't get it, they can't let their opponents get it!
"Therefore, both sides have been keeping each other in check!"
Lu Qiuqiu said, "If we try to snatch it, we'll most likely face criticism from several forces at the same time. We'll offend the Firmament Saint and the Yellow Spring Saint!"
Su Yin shook his head. "I'm not afraid of offending them. They're already enemies. There's no room for reconciliation!"
Whether it was the Firmament Saint or the Yellow Spring Saint, once they knew that he had obtained the 36 Sages' legacies, they would definitely send people to kill him. There would be no room for negotiation!
If that was the case, there was no difference between offending them or not.
"That's true …"
Lu Qiuqiu thought of something and said, "It's almost impossible to get the Sword Saint's remains by force. However, I know of a way. I'm not sure if it'll work, but we can give it a try!"
