Chapter 886: Chapter 886: The Beauty Before the Great Hall
Following that, Liu Zixuan told Qing Old Man the names of those herbs.
Liu Zixuan felt that as long as the herbs were recorded in the Holy Medical Scripture, they must exist in this world. It might be impossible for ordinary families to find them, but don’t forget this is the Profound Sword Sect.
Moreover, since it involves the Sect Guardian Beast, the Qilin, the Profound Sword Sect will definitely do everything they can to gather all those herbs completely.
As for the method he mentioned, in fact, Liu Zixuan only conducted a simple experiment and didn’t make it as serious as he told Qing Old Man. The reason he was so confident was that Liu Zixuan comprehended the Holy Medical Scripture from start to finish in the way he understood the Sword Dao Profound Meaning.
It must be said that the Great Dao has three thousand paths, all interconnected. The method of understanding the Sword Dao was more evident when comprehending the Holy Medical Scripture, making Liu Zixuan’s medical skills even higher!
Previously, Liu Zixuan could tell how his medical skills were and what diseases and injuries he could or couldn’t treat. But now even Liu Zixuan wasn’t sure to what realm his medical skills had reached, as those things he couldn’t treat before seemed simple to him now.
The trip to the Profound Sword Sect was worthwhile for Liu Zixuan!
Though he had not reached the Emperor Realm yet in the half-step Emperor Realm, the Mental Realm made this half-step Emperor Realm even more terrifying!
Once he completes the two conditions Qing Old Man mentioned, Liu Zixuan is absolutely confident he can defeat an Acquired Emperor Realm master without relying on his trump cards!
If he used those trump cards, even against an Innate Emperor Realm, he would have a fighting chance!
Qing Old Man was silent for a moment: "This is significant news. I’ll inform the Sect Leader immediately, and I might even personally go down the mountain to find those herbs soon. So, the Peach Blossom House will be yours for the time being!"
"You’re going down the mountain yourself?" Liu Zixuan frowned: "I think it’d be better to let other disciples from the sect go. In case of any situation, they can handle it, while you..."
"I’ve lived for so many years, naturally aware of some special places. As for safety, don’t worry. Since this involves sect matters, the Sect Leader will certainly arrange someone to protect me!"
Qing Old Man changed the topic: "After extending the Qilin’s lifespan, I’ll get the Nether Fire Stone for you first!"
"Hehe, Qing Old Man understands me!" Liu Zixuan laughed.
Leaving him with a mysterious expression, Qing Old Man hurriedly departed.
Indeed, the Qilin was too important for the Profound Sword Sect!
After Qing Old Man left, Liu Zixuan enjoyed his leisure time, having the Peach Blossom Brew all to himself!
He roasted the wild rabbit he caught, eating and drinking in the uniquely scenic Peach Blossom House, truly feeling at ease!
Initially thinking that he would spend the next few days like this, things changed on the second day dawn after Qing Old Man left.
At four in the morning, Liu Zixuan routinely visited the back mountain.
But after waiting for about four or five minutes, it wasn’t the usual Sword Fool that appeared in front of him, but a figure even stronger.
Faintly, Liu Zixuan felt an oppressiveness facing this figure.
"Who are you?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I’m here to be your opponent today." The other’s voice was deep and hoarse, like it had been specially altered.
"Seems like Qing Old Man found quite a few people for me." Liu Zixuan grinned, took out the peach branch again: "You must be an Emperor Realm expert."
"Put away your peach branch, take out your sword. And don’t consider me like a mere Sword Fool; he sparred with you. I’ll use my full strength against you, so be prepared to get hurt!"
Liu Zixuan looked up, just about to continue questioning, when he saw the figure draw a Cyan Longsword and directly attack him.
The Cyan Longsword swung, its sharpness far exceeded that of the Sword Fool.
Seeing this, Liu Zixuan didn’t dare to slack, hurriedly taking out the Nameless Sword!
A soft hum, the Nameless Sword’s edge immediately revealed itself, appearing exceptionally striking against the dark night sky!
The approaching expert only had a flash of surprise in his eyes, but it vanished before he launched another attack.
Liu Zixuan held his sword to meet the attack, realizing the opponent’s terrifying strength with just one clash.
That Cyan Longsword felt as if a thousand pounds of weight were infused in it, numbing Liu Zixuan’s arms upon impact.
Frowning, he muttered: "You are an Innate Emperor Realm!"
"If you can’t even withstand this strike of mine, how dare you challenge Sword Venerable Ling Xiao?" The expert’s voice held a hint of mockery and disdain!
Hearing this, Liu Zixuan instantly got angry.
A man must never admit defeat in the face of any forceful challenge!
Maneuvering the Nameless Sword, he launched an active assault.
Clang, clang, clang!
Sparks flew between them as the sound of metal clashes resounded.
About three or four minutes later, with a Sword Intent shooting out, Liu Zixuan flew backward like a broken kite.
Bang!
Thud!
He crashed onto the mountain wall and then fell to the ground.
"Want more?" The voice held a tone of provocation.
Bearing the soreness in his body, Liu Zixuan stood up once more: "Come on!"
Clang, clang!
After several more exchanges, Liu Zixuan was sent flying again.
Now covered in dust and looking quite pale, he appeared quite strained.
The expert chuckled coldly: "That’s it for today. Same time tomorrow at four, but I hope you make some progress; otherwise, you’ll be worse off than today!"
With that, the expert vanished instantly.
Liu Zixuan sat there, lighting a cigarette, muttering in exhaustion: "Damn it, this young master won’t believe it, Innate Emperor Realm or not, I’ll bring you down!"
If it were an ordinary person, they would’ve given up long ago, but Liu Zixuan wasn’t ordinary. Faced with such a situation, he only fought more valiantly!
After a brief rest, Liu Zixuan returned to the Peach Blossom House from the back mountain, changed clothes, washed up, grabbed a broom, and headed towards Profound Mountain.
However, he didn’t expect, besides the person he dueled with changing, another trouble was coming!
Earlier, he thought not taking revenge for humiliation didn’t fit Gu Huaqiu’s character.
As Liu Zixuan was about to step into the Profound Mountain Grand Hall, Gu Huaqiu and several disciples blocked his way.
"What’s this? The young master of the Gu Family wants to cause me trouble again?" Liu Zixuan grinned, holding the broom over his shoulder.
"Hmph! This time it’s not me!" Gu Huaqiu huffed and stepped aside, revealing a graceful figure slowly walking forward from behind him.
"Wow, finally a girl in the Profound Sword Sect, and such a beautiful lady at that!" Upon seeing the graceful figure, Liu Zixuan blurted out instinctively!
