Fellow Daoist Medicine Master, Add Two Beds!
[To celebrate the 'Big Warmth Cute Girl' guild leader's third 100,000-coin reward today, there will be three extra chapters in total. Two will be added today, and the rest will be added tomorrow.]
Song Shuhang: "..."
Sure enough, the cultivators he encountered all had the wrong "approach." Couldn't he have met a few more normal cultivators? The kind with an air of otherworldly wisdom and the demeanor of Dao Bone!
"Hehe." The Chu Clan cultivator, who had just impulsively joined in the singing, chuckled awkwardly.
Song Shuhang sighed, and then temporarily suppressed the pain and itching caused by the poison for the other Chu Clan cultivators in the same way. Afterward, he instructed the six of them to guard the entrance to the secret chamber.
Since the six of them are temporarily unable to contact others, they can stay here and guard the gate while he goes to fetch reinforcements, and then he can detoxify them.
After doing all this, Song Shuhang picked up the 'scroll' again and headed back towards the location of the Immortal Severing Platform. The Chu Household's <Sword Formula> had been stolen; hopefully, the Chu Household elders wouldn't collapse upon hearing this news.
Before heading back, Song Shuhang borrowed a piece of clothing from a disciple of the Chu Household.
After leaving the Chu Household Grounds, he found a secluded spot to change his clothes and then deactivated the 'Transformation Brooch' effect.
Next, all I need to do is go back to Senior White and get my voice back, and I'll be all set.
Today's memories are destined to be a dark history that is too painful to recall.
Once he learns the spell to 'Memory-Sealing Spell,' he will definitely seal away today's memories completely—memories that are utterly shameful!
*********************************
On the other side, on the Immortal Severing Platform
The battle between Jian Yuanhai, the Supreme Elder of the Void Sword Sect, and Chu Kangbo, the Old Master of the Chu Household, is drawing to a close.
Jian Yuanhai was ultimately no match for Chu Kangbo. Even though Chu Kangbo was still recovering from serious injuries, he still overwhelmed Jian Yuanhai with his superior cultivation level.
Boom!
Sword energy flashed, magical light burst forth, and a powerful shockwave erupted.
Jian Yuanhai was sent flying, his face deathly pale. His right arm, which was holding the sword, was blasted to pieces by Chu Kangbo's sword energy, with no chance of healing. Even the flying sword in his hand was blasted in two by Chu Kangbo's follow-up spell.
Having lost his right arm, which allows him to wield a sword, Jian Yuanhai's future combat power will be greatly reduced, truly making him the bottom-ranked cultivator among the Fourth-Grade Realm.
Chu Kangbo said in a deep voice, "You've lost."
Jian Yuanhai coughed violently, each cough producing a mouthful of blood. Not only was his right arm injured, but he also suffered severe internal injuries... Without the help of miraculous medicine, he would likely not survive the winter.
"I lost." Jian Yuanhai sighed heavily at the end. When he uttered the word "lost," he, who already had little lifespan left, looked even older, as if he could die at any moment.
The disciples of the Void Sword Sect turned extremely pale.
The disciples of the Chu Household cheered wildly, shouting and venting their joy.
Peng Shenghai, the guardian of the Immortal Severing Platform and a member of the Everlasting Sword Sect Peng Shenghai, loudly announced, "The Chu Household the third round of the Immortal Severing Platform."
Despite the relatively low level of the Immortal Severing Platform Battle, both Spirit Emperor of the Everlasting Sword Sect felt utterly exhausted after presiding over it.
Fortunately, the Everlasting Sword Sect two Golden Core Spirit Emperors to preside over this Immortal Severing Platform Battle; otherwise, sending two Fourth-Grade cultivators would not have been enough to control the situation today.
No one expected that the Chu Household would suddenly produce a Fifth-Grade Golden Core Spirit Emperor ancestor. Even more unexpected was that the Chu Household was able to invite so many high-level cultivators to oversee the situation.
The Immortal Severing Platform Battle was declared over, and the mission of the two protectors of the platform finally came to an end.
Then, another protector of the platform, Peng Qianyin of the Everlasting Sword Sect, spoke up, "According to the rules of this Immortal Severing Platform Battle, the Chu Household can make a condition to the Void Sword Sect!"
When Jian Yuanhai heard this, he felt a tightness in his chest. Originally, he had planned to win the Immortal Severing Platform Battle and then force the Chu Household to hand over the <Sword Formula>.
Unexpectedly, the Void Sword Sect lost, and lost so badly.
Given the Chu Household's character, they'll probably force the 'Void Sword Sect' to relocate from this area, and then the Chu Household will seize the Void Sword Sect's territory and take over their cultivation Spirit Land. Jian Yuanhai once learned about the Chu Household... The Chu Household family elders had this plan when they proposed the 'Immortal Severing Platform' battle.
Is the Void Sword Sect about to abandon its centuries-old sect foundation?
"A request? I almost forgot about that rule of the Immortal Severing Platform." Chu Kangbo laughed, then held up his finger and said, "My request is simple: I want the Void Sword Sect from the Void Sword Scripture!"
The fact that Chu Kangbo has shown himself means that his injuries have mostly healed. With Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor like him around, there's nothing to fear from the Void Sword Sect.
The time that follows will be when the Chu Household begins to fully suppress the Void Sword Sect. If the Void Sword Sect knows what's good for them, they will move away from the sect on their own initiative; if they don't, Chu Kangbo will not be polite to them.
In the past, the Chu Household would have retaliated tenfold or even a hundredfold for what the Void Sword Sect had done to them. The Chu Household was not Buddhist Sect, and did not value patience and forgiveness.
Jian Yuanhai was taken aback when he heard the conditions. The Void Sword Scripture was the Void Sword Sect's most treasured technique. Although the technique's rank was not high, reaching the Fourth-Grade Xiantian realm at its limit, the Void Sword Scripture's attack power was still quite good. In terms of moves alone, it could be considered average among sword techniques of the same level.
"Impossible!" Jian Yuanhai exclaimed instinctively. How could they possibly hand over their Void Sword Sect's most treasured martial arts technique to someone else?
If the Void Sword Scripture were to have a side story, would the Void Sword Sect still be called the 'Void Sword Sect'? It might have to be renamed 'Void Sword Sect No. 2'!
"Hehe." Chu Kangbo laughed heartily, ignoring Jian Yuanhai, and turned to the guards, saying, "I have made my request. Afterwards, I ask the guards to uphold justice for our Chu Household."
The two guards nodded silently. "We will report this matter truthfully upon our return to our sect. Within a week, we can guarantee that the <Void Sword Scripture> will be in the hands of the Chu Household."
"Both of you are fair and selfless, I admire you," Chu Kangbo said, clasping his hands in a fist salute—he completely ignored Jian Yuanhai's resistance. At this point, if resistance were effective, what would be the point of having protectors?
"It's my duty, Brother Chu, you're too kind." Everlasting Sword Sect Peng Shenghai smiled slightly and bowed to Chu Kangbo with clasped hands, "In that case, the Immortal Severing Platform Battle is over, and our duties as fellow disciples have been completed. Next, we must return to the sect to report. Brother Chu, we'll take our leave now."
Afterwards, the two Spirit Emperors of the Everlasting Sword Sect came to the Chu Household's camp and bid farewell to all the fellow Daoists in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'.
After all, so many big shots are sitting in a row.
After bidding farewell, the two Spirit Emperors of the Everlasting Sword Sect took off on their swords and disappeared into the sky.
Thus... the Immortal Severing Platform Battle to a complete end.
The cheers from the Chu Household members grew even louder.
In contrast, everyone from the Void Sword Sect, including the Supreme Elder Jian Yuanhai, was deathly pale, like stray dogs, and began to slowly retreat.
Only the sect leader of the Void Sword Sect, whose head had turned into a pig's head, glared hatefully at the Chu Household.
He gripped his phone tightly; on it was a message sent earlier by 'sir,' containing only four words: [Plan successful]
Enjoy yourselves, Chu Household family guys.
"When you return to your clan's territory and find out that the 'Sword Formula' has been stolen, you'll have your day to cry," Xu Zheng thought bitterly.
************************
Just as the Immortal Severing Platform Battle ended, a sword light streaked across the sky and landed in the Chu Household's camp.
It was Liu Jianyi who brought the 'Iron Trigram Diviner' with him.
Liu Jianyi landed in front of the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, put down the Iron Trigram Diviner, and said, "Jianyi greets all seniors."
Upon seeing his old friend's disciple, True Lord Yellow Mountain jokingly asked, "It's Jianyi! Have you been slacking off lately?"
"Haha, haha." Liu Jianyi chuckled dryly.
"Hey, isn't this the precious disciple of the Copper Trigram, 'Iron Trigram Diviner'? What happened to him? He's seriously injured." The Northern River's Loose Cultivator exclaimed upon seeing Iron Trigram Diviner.
Liu Jianyi quickly explained, "This fellow Iron Trigram Gua was someone my master encountered on the way. Seeing that he was seriously injured, my master rescued him and brought him here."
"Judging from the looks of it, it seems to have been a huge explosion plus some other damage. Where did that unlucky kid go adventuring?"
"These injuries look somewhat familiar to me—I don't know why, but they remind me of the Lay Buddhist Xian Gong?"
Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that.
"Could it really be a nuclear weapon? This poor kid. By the way, does any fellow Daoist have the time to take him to the Medicine Master for treatment? And while you're at it, let Copper Trigram know not to forget to pay the Medicine Master's treatment fee," said Northern River's Loose Cultivator.
"A disciple of the Copper Trigram? Inform the Copper Trigram to go to the Medicine Master?" The Fairy Lychee's eyes lit up immediately, and she raised her hand vigorously. "Me! Me! Me! I'll take this child to the Medicine Master. I'm free lately, really!"
The Fairy Lychee uttered her last word through gritted teeth.
"Then I'll have to trouble Fairy Lychee." Northern River's Loose Cultivator gave a thumbs up.
"Then, fellow Daoists, saving lives is urgent and cannot be delayed. Little Fairy Lychee will take her leave first!" Fairy Lychee clasped her hands in greeting to the fellow Daoists, then summoned her flying magic weapon, grabbed the Iron Trigram Diviner, and soared into the air with a 'whoosh'.
During the flight, Fairy Lychee couldn't wait to pull out True Lord Yellow Mountain's phone... well, because her own phone wasn't with her.
Then, Fairy Lychee sent a message to Copper Trigram Immortal Master: "Fellow Daoist Copper Trigram, come to the Medicine Master immediately, your disciple Iron Trigram is seriously injured. Also, remember to bring enough money for medical expenses."
Then, Fairy Lychee sent another message to the Medicine Master: "Fellow Daoist Medicine Master, I'm reserving two VIP beds."
"?" The Medicine Master replied in confusion, "Why are so many fellow cultivators trying to reserve hospital beds lately? White Crane just reserved one recently, what happened?"
"Fellow Copper Trigram's disciple Iron Trigram is injured, give him a bed. And... reserve the other one for Fellow Copper Trigram! [Senior White's smiling emoticon]" Fairy Lychee finished sending the message and her mood brightened.
After thinking for a moment, Fairy Lychee picked up her phone and took a selfie—her mood today went from cloudy to rainy to sunny, and now she's feeling adorable!
The Medicine Master scratched his head in confusion and said to Jiang Ziyan beside him, "Ziyan, prepare two more beds. Iron Trigram and Copper Trigram both seem to be seriously injured."
"Okay." Jiang Ziyan's answer was concise and straightforward.
