Practicing Medicine at the Manor, Unrestrained Boudoir Talk, The Flower Cage Sect's Recent State, If the Candle Cult Comes!

We agreed during yesterday's dinner at the restaurant to meet at the Immortal Wonders Pavilion Inn at Chen Hour the next day. Li Xian is staying in Gold Ingot Ward, Xizi Street, Three Children Alley. It's quite a distance from Tongji Ward, so we need to get up early to prepare.

Li Xian was full of energy. He practiced martial arts until midnight last night, then spent an hour Turbidity Transport his Bone Turbidity and external pathogens to cleanse his body with clean energy before going to sleep. He got up at dawn without any problems and practiced for another half hour in the early morning.

He quickly ate breakfast, then led out his Binds the Wind- Controlling Horse and headed towards Tongji Ward. The wards were connected by main roads for carriages and horses. Li Xian's Wind-Binding Horse was fast, agile, and incredibly nimble.

He galloped, leaped, and trotted along the road... his movements were incredibly swift. Li Xian gently stroked his long, Binds the Wind- swept sideburns, feeling a gentle breeze on his face, a feeling of indescribable exhilaration. His figure was remarkable, and the steed he rode was equally handsome and unique.

Along the road, most people lingered, glancing enviously. After arriving at Tongji Ward, they waited for a long time before the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. Yao Yin, wearing a light green pleated skirt, Flower-Sealed thin stockings, and black leather boots, rode up on horseback.

She was an excellent rider; her Fragrant Mist horse trotted lightly, her hair swaying and her skirt billowing. Passersby on the street both wanted to look and dared not. Li Xian thought to himself, "The women of Jade City are dressed in such colorful and passionate attire, so bold and unrestrained."

Yao Yin, her saddle adorned with a sword, had already carefully dressed herself, her face powdered. She looked her over with her beautiful eyes and smiled, "Oh ho, the exotic horse provided by the Gold-Seeking Guard? What's its name?"

Li Xian laughed and said, "Binds the Wind." Yao Yin said, "Binds the Wind... that's a good name. Shall we show you a skill?"

Li Xian said cheerfully, "Alright!" He pulled on the reins and spurred the horse. Binds the Wind galloped off at an incredible speed, as if the wind had been trapped in place, hence the name Binds the Wind meaning "capturing the wind").

Each horse had its own characteristics. Binds the Wind had long, slender legs and a lean, refined body. It was extremely fast for short distances, but lacked momentum in the later stages. Li Xian pulled on the reins, Binds the Wind leaped up with all four hooves, leaping across the walls like a martial arts master. Then, with another leap, it jumped onto a pavilion.

Stepping onto the green tiles and red bricks of the pavilion, it reached an open space, startling the diners inside. Li Xian pulled the reins again, Binds the Wind leaped out of the restaurant. It galloped through the pavilions, finally landing back on the street, then returning to the main entrance of the Miraculous Healers Pavilion. Its movements, both up and down, were graceful and impressive. Yao Yin clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Amazing! Amazing! What a fine horse!" She reached out to stroke Binds the Wind.

Binds the Wind a slight step back and turned to look at Li Xian. Li Xian nodded in acknowledgment, and Binds the Wind took two more steps forward, allowing Yao Yin to stroke it. Yao Yin gently patted it affectionately and said, "In terms of spiritual transformation, my little Fragrant Mist is probably not as good as you, Binds the Wind. But for a long journey, you, Binds the Wind, are not as good as my Fragrant Mist." Li Xian said, "Each has its own unique characteristics. No one is perfect, and no horse is perfect either." Binds the Wind made two "hissing" sounds.

Yao Yin chuckled crisply twice, then gracefully dismounted. Her skirt billowed out like a flower as she turned.

Unfortunately, the view beneath the skirt was always just a hair's breadth away, completely concealed, which was inevitably disappointing. Yao Yin was highly skilled in martial arts, and although she wore a short pleated skirt, she managed to maintain her beauty without being indecent.

Yao Yin called out, "Alright, take your horse into the stable first. Give it some water and fodder, but we'll have to wait a little longer. I have an appointment with two doctors."

Li Xian: "Done!"

After storing the horses and entrusting them to the servants, the two waited at the door for a while, chatting about other things. Outside the Miraculous Healers Pavilion, there were long stone benches, green trees, and stone carvings, creating a serene and pleasant scene, making the wait not boring at all.

Not long after, the sound of two horses' hooves approached again.

The newcomers were two men. One wore a loose purple robe and had a square face with thick eyebrows and a straight nose. Although not handsome, he looked quite upright. The other wore a light blue robe and a jade crown. He had dark skin, large ears, and a protruding mouth, and had an ordinary face.

Both men were Renowned Physician, their medical reputations already established, and they specialized in treating patients within the mansion. The man in the purple robe was named Fang Ming, and the man in the light blue robe was named Ding Heilang.

The two men bowed to Yao Yin and said, "Miss Yao!" Yao Yin nodded in acknowledgment and then introduced Li Xian.

Fang Ming and Ding Heilang were nominally affiliated with the Miraculous Healers Pavilion, but they usually frequented the residences of the Aristocratic Clan, only visiting the Miraculous Healers Pavilion when necessary. Although Li Xian had visited the Miraculous Healers Pavilion, he didn't cause any real trouble before withdrawing from the scene. Therefore, Fang Ming and Ding Heilang were unaware of his deeds.

The two greeted each other with clasped hands, Li Xian returned the greeting with clasped hands in full courtesy. They then exchanged a brief introduction.

The Miraculous Healers Pavilion, Renowned Physician physicians, awards horses to all its members. Though ordinary horses, they are sufficient. Seeing that everyone was present, Yao Yin and Li Xian led out a special horse, mounted it, and pulled on the reins, the four of them proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Because the road was wide enough for carriages and horses to walk side by side, the four of them walked side by side, with Yao Yin on the left, followed by Li Xian, then Fang Ming, and finally Ding Heilang.

Binds the Wind was naturally lively and loved to show off its skills. Seeing that the road ahead was wide open, it wanted to run wildly. Li Xian guessed that Binds the Wind was incredibly fast. If it ran wildly, Fragrant Mist might be able to catch up, but Fang Ming and Ding Heilang beside it would definitely be left behind. Therefore, he gently Binds the Wind to suppress its restlessness.

Proceed at a slow pace.

Fang Ming and Ding Heilang, seeing that Li Xian was wearing a mask and had never heard of him before, initially held him in slight contempt. However, upon seeing his magnificent mount, a rare and Bloodline Horse, they immediately changed their minds and felt a slight sense of awe towards Li Xian.

Fang Ming took the initiative to strike up a conversation, saying, "Brother Li also knows medicine, but I wonder where you work?" Yao Yin found it amusing and pricked up her ears to listen.

Li Xian said, "I currently work at Tailstreet Marquis Wu Station Westwind Street."

Ding Heilang said, "Marquis Wu Station... this is the place of the Gold-Seeking Guard. Could Li Xian be a garrison doctor? That's a tiring and thankless job."

His tone immediately lightened slightly.

The duties of the resident physician at Marquis Wu Station were numerous and the position was relatively low. The salary was also lower than that of the Miraculous Healers Pavilion, but the advantage was that there was a lot of "Essence Soup". The Essence Soup left over by Gold-Seeking Guard was not wasted. It was diluted with water and given as a reward to the clerks and doctors accompanying the resident physician.

However, Miraculous Healers Pavilion is backed by the "Yao Clan," and there is a "cauldron" on the fourth floor of the Miraculous Healers Pavilion. If the cauldron is lit, "Renowned Physician" can get a share of Essence Food. If he is lucky, he can also eat and practice medicine at the mansion on weekdays.

Medicine and martial arts are inextricably linked. A healer's martial arts skills may be mediocre, and his fighting ability may be lacking. But naturally, he must know and be able to fight. Both of them thought, "In that case, Brother Li's extraordinary horse must have been Gold-Seeking Guard friend Jin Wei."

Li Xian laughed and said, "Brothers, you misunderstand. I am Gold-Seeking Guard), not a resident physician."

The two men were taken aback and asked in unison, "Brother Li, are you... are you the Gold-Seeking Guard?" Li Xian replied, "Of course."

Fang Ming and Ding Heilang exchanged glances, puzzled and confused. "Brother Li is Gold-Seeking Guard), how can he also be skilled in medicine?" Yao Yin laughed and said, "You two are really something, so pedantic. Who says that Gold-Seeking Guard cannot be skilled in medicine?"

Fang Ming and Ding Heilang both thought, "This Brother Li is Miss Yao's friend, so he must have some remarkable qualities. Our questions seem rather shallow, and we don't know if we've offended him." They immediately apologized.

He then added with further flattery, "It was our rudeness and short-sightedness that led us to say this. However, Brother Li, as Gold-Seeking Guard high-ranking official), already possesses an impressive status and position, and at the same time, he has also cultivated his medical skills, which makes him both enviable and admirable."

Li Xian said, "My two fellow doctors, there's no need to be nervous. My medical skills are merely a hobby, self-taught, and I'm sure they are far inferior to yours."

Fang Ming and Ding Heilang were even more respectful to Li Xian, who, despite his young age and high position, showed no arrogance despite his humble words. They were also curious about the affairs of Marquis Wu Station and began to talk about it.

The group walked and talked. After leaving Tongji Ward, there was a straight and long road. This road had a wide view, and carriages and horses flowed by, making the journey faster. Yao Yin shouted "Keep up!" and spurred her horse forward. Li Xian followed closely behind, followed by Fang Ming and Ding Heilang.

Yao Yin carried a sachet, and as she rode her horse, a fragrant breeze would waft by.

Yao Yin had several close friends in Jade City. They were all of similar background, talented, and of high status. Their friendship had lasted for many years, and they would always get together whenever they had free time. Yao Yin went out to learn martial arts and joined the "Nature Sect," a highly prestigious and orthodox sect in the Guanlong Circuit. Meanwhile, several of her sisters in Jade City either stayed in Jade City or went out to learn martial arts and make their way in the world.

As we get older, opportunities to get together become fewer.

It wasn't until a few days ago that everyone returned to Jade City. Now that all the friends were together, how could we not get together? Hence this private gathering. I heard from Yao Yin that some of her close friends were suffering from various hidden illnesses. So she wanted to bring a few Renowned Physician to help with treatment, to examine their pulses, inquire about their conditions, and prescribe medicine for conditioning. Hence this scene.

Yao Yin led the way, leaving Tongji Ward and passing through a small alley. Yao Yin laughed and said, "Hehe, it's time to test your riding skills, don't fall down." He rode ahead.

The alley was extremely narrow and dark, filled with clutter, making it difficult for people to pass through. It was even more difficult for Horse Beast. The Fragrant Mist horse trotted gracefully, Binds the Wind and galloping with effortless speed. The two Renowned Physician, Fang Ming and Ding Heilang, were also skilled riders. They passed through without any trouble, saving several miles of winding road.

After passing through the "Silk and Gauze Ward," they arrived at a Secluded Residence area. Yao Yin let out a long sigh and gradually slowed down. She stopped in front of a "Peach-Cherry Residence." Yao Yin rubbed her shoulders; a few drops of sweat had soaked through her back cover. She dismounted and said, "This is it. Everyone, dismount!"

The side door of Peach-Cherry Residence is slightly ajar. This area is sparsely Secluded Residence place where one can hear the soft chirping of birds. The hustle and bustle of the city is completely absent here. But just two streets away, one will immediately find oneself in the most lively area.

This residential area is called "Elegant Serenity Grove". It is about twenty miles away from Li Xian's "Gold Ingot Ward, Xizi Street, Three Children Alley" and only seven miles away from "Tailstreet Marquis Wu Station Westwind Street".

Li Xian, on his daily patrols, passed by this place. He knew that the inhabitants must be from a wealthy family. The mansion was extremely expensive, and he couldn't help but think, "Is it really true that Aristocratic Clan families are different? Even within Elegant Serenity Grove, this mansion is among the best."

As the horse entered the gate, it found the residence serene and secluded. Upon Initiation, there was a blue pine stone, from which a fragrant resin emanated, invigorating the senses.

Not far away, three carriages were parked. The carriages were of different designs, some round, some square, and some long, but they were decorated with silk ornaments, which were quite feminine. They must have been women's items.

Yao Yin said, "They all came in carriages; are they showing off to me?"

To the left was a horse park, where three horses lay grazing peacefully. Yao Yin called out, "Let the horses into the park!"

The three horses were all of Bloodline Horse. When they saw the foreign horse enter the garden, they immediately looked up. Li Xian gently Binds the Wind and led it into the garden.

This "Peach-Cherry Residence" was purchased by Yao Yin and her close friends at a special price, using their savings accumulated over more than ten years and through their connections. It is solely for their gatherings.

Yao Yin knew the way well. Turning a corner in the long corridor, she faintly heard laughter and cheerful chatter. A voice called out, "Judging from the noise, it's Yao Nizi!"

Inside a pavilion adorned with red flowers and green leaves, three women sat chatting idly. On the pavilion table were "fragrant crispy wine," melon seeds, braised meat, broad beans... a typical scene of food and drink to satisfy cravings and relieve fatigue while traveling through the world.

The woman who had just spoken wore a colorful long dress, with delicate eyebrows, a soft face, thin lips, thick earlobes, and fair skin. She possessed a gentle and graceful demeanor, and the hem of her dress trailed to the ground.

Her name was Bai Caiwei. The woman to her left had her long hair tied in Ponytail, wore a wristband, had a straight nose, a round face, and a full forehead, but her heroic spirit was still undeniable.

Her name was "Han Niannian". The woman opposite her was resting her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked in their direction.

Her clothing was very thin, with a wide, long shawl draped over her shoulders. Her features were delicate, her eyes bright and expressive; she was quite beautiful. Her name was "Huang Axia." Bai Caiwei asked, "Yao Nizi, is this the healer you mentioned?" Yao Yin strode into the pavilion, and without any formalities with the three, picked up a wine jug, gulped down several mouthfuls, and sat down heartily, saying, "Yes, I brought these especially for you. One for each of you."

Huang Axia said, "Why is one of them wearing a mask? Yao Nizi, are you holding a grudge against the three of us? You seem to have brought three doctors, but in reality, you've called in three lecherous bandits. You plan to take advantage of our unpreparedness, suddenly attack, tie us up, and sell us to pay off your debts?"

Yao Yin said, "You little slut, you guessed right. I didn't just poison you all first, knocking you unconscious. Then my three capable henchmen will... hehe, torture you hundreds of times. Finally, I'll send you to the Black Market to be sold to Flower Cage. Then you can just enjoy yourself from now on." Huang Axia asked expectantly, "What else? What else? What happens next?" Yao Yin said, "Then I'll make you go to every brothel in Great Wu. What, are you scared yet?"

Li Xian, Ding Heilang, and Fang Ming secretly wiped their sweat, all thinking, "Are these women's private conversations really this blatant?" None of them dared to make a sound. Han Niannian said, "Hmph, these three notorious bandits you summoned are lecherous bastards. Do you think they'll let you go after they've captured us?"

Yao Yin was taken aback. Huang Axia said, "That's right, the three of them will definitely join forces against you. Hehe, you'll get your just desserts then, and it'll only be worse." Bai Caiwei coughed twice, her face full of black lines, and said, "Stop! Let's not talk about these things anymore." She lowered her voice and said, "There are outsiders here, let's consider our image."

Yao Yin, Huang Axia, and Han Niannian then regained their ladylike demeanor. Bai Caiwei said, "Three divine physicians, we were just joking. If we offended you, please forgive us. It was just a private remark, so please don't take it seriously."

Fang Ming said, "We Renowned Physician are all reasonable. Whatever we hear, we just let it go in one ear and out the other."

Yao Yin suddenly remembered that Li Xian was present, and her pretty face flushed red. She thought to herself, "I just blurted out such unladylike words. I wonder what he will think if he heard them." She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

Huang Axia said, "Yin'er, why are you blushing? Do you really want to be captured by a notorious bandit and have some fun?" Yao Yin retorted, "I'll be the notorious bandit first, and then you little slut will know what's what." She then raised her hand to retaliate, pinching Huang Axia's waist.

Huang Axia naturally retaliated, leading to a passionate and intense battle.

Not wanting to be left out, Han Niannian shouted, "Watch me reap the benefits!" and joined the fray, striking at Yao Yin and Huang Axia's ribs with both hands. The two women gasped in surprise, each spitting out a curse, and focused their energy on dealing with Han Niannian.

Bai Caiwei rubbed her forehead and shook her head, sighing helplessly. She felt ashamed that her friends were like this. She gently stroked her face with her delicate hand, picked up three broad beans, and flicked them with her finger, hitting the three women on the shoulders.

The three women's acupoints were sealed, but Yun Yan quickly broke free and sat back in her original position. Huang Axia straightened her clothes, glared at Yao Yin, and scolded, "You little slut, you're getting more and more ruthless. I'll let you off for now."

He then raised his gaze to Li Xian and asked, "You didn't say why this divine physician is wearing a mask?"

Yao Yin said, "Why do you care about these things? I called him here to serve you. Just enjoy yourself."

Huang Axia said, "You can't say that. Did you bring someone whose background you don't even know what they look like?" Yao Yin replied, "Of course I know." She hesitated, thinking, "These are all my close friends, I can trust them. If Li Xian reveals his face here, aside from the fear that this slut might be aroused, there's nothing wrong with it..."

Li Xian thought to himself, "My Ghost Doctor Lineage is renowned for its ugliness and extraordinary medical skills. Although I have lost the Ghost Jade and am temporarily unable to assume the title of Ghost Doctor, my coming here to practice medicine can still serve as a way to contribute to our lineage's traditions. I might as well tarnish my appearance and save myself the trouble of explaining myself." So he said, "It is because I have a strange ailment on my face that makes me unbearably ugly, so I dare not remove my mask to show myself."

Yao Yin was taken aback, then pulled Li Xian away, whispering, "What nonsense are you talking about? You usually wear a mask to avoid trouble. This is my friend's place; there's no need for that." Li Xian laughed, "To be honest, I've always admired the Ghost Doctor. I want to emulate his medical skills." Yao Yin didn't press the matter further and let Li Xian have his way. Huang Axia said, "Ah, if that's the case, then A-Xia is sorry!"

Li Xian laughed heartily, "It's alright."

After some playful banter, they got down to business. Yao Yin, Bai Caiwei, Han Niannian, and Huang Axia hadn't seen each other for a long time. They came from different Lineage and had different backgrounds, Lineage, future prospects, and circumstances.

While the four chatted, Li Xian, Fang Ming, and Ding Heilang took the pulses of Huang Axia, Bai Caiwei, and Han Niannian respectively, and prepared medicine to treat them... Meanwhile, the four women talked happily, starting with the current situation in Jade City and their families' daily affairs, and then moving on to strange tales in the martial arts world, which were full of ups Winds Rise, Clouds Surge. Although they were young women gathered together, the four women came from good families and had considerable knowledge. Their words were serious and not just empty talk or talk about petty love.

The conversation gradually turned to the "Flower Cage Sect incident".

Huang Axia said, "Yao Nizi, you must be very careful when you return to the sect. You are as beautiful as a flower, and the journey to and from the Nature Sect is long. If you are captured by the Flower Thief, you will really suffer a lot."

Yao Yin, feeling extremely unlucky, said, "Pah, pah, pah, are you cursing me?" Bai Caiwei said, "What A-Xia said makes sense. Yao Nizi, you are lively and beautiful, which makes you easy to attract the attention of the Flower Cage Sect. Perhaps you have already been targeted by this Flower Thief and are on their Flower-Seeking Ranking." Han Niannian said, "Speaking of this, I remember hearing some time ago that the Water Altar, one of the five altars of the Flower Cage Sect, was completely destroyed by the Jade Maiden of the Profound Dao Sect. The Water Altar's chief envoy, deputy envoy, elders, Flower-Sealed disciples, and Registered Disciple... were all captured!"

Yao Yin nodded and said, "This matter has caused a huge sensation. I am far away in the Nature Sect, so far from Yunan Circuit, and it was only through word of mouth that it reached my ears. But I have only heard about it and have not verified it, so I do not know if it is true or false."

Bai Caiwei took a sip of wine and said, "It's true. I've been following this matter. That Jade Maiden is truly an unparalleled talent. I wonder what methods she used. Not only did she destroy the Water Altar, but she also captured everyone who was there at the time. Apart from a few vicious villains who fought desperately and were killed on the spot, most of the others had their heads shaved and were bound."

Han Niannian asked curiously, "How were all these Flower Thief dealt with?"

Bai Caiwei said, "The ordinary disciples were stripped of their martial arts and power, and sent to the labor camp to atone for their sins through hard labor. As for the elders and disciples of the Flower-Sealed Flower Cage Sect, they were taken back to Profound Dao Mountain, where their fates would be decided after careful consideration. The decision was made just over three months ago." Yao Yin, Han Niannian, and Huang Axia all asked curiously, "What are their fates?" Li Xian was also curious and listened intently.

Bai Caiwei said, "This matter is related to Jade City. Profound Dao Mountain asked Jade City to help create a Heavenly Crafted Wonders; Passion Ban. This object is..." She glanced at Li Xian, Fang Ming, and Ding Heilang, who were brewing medicine in the distance, and blushed, unable to speak further.

Bai Caiwei said, "In short, wearing this item causes both men and women to experience desires that are difficult to express. Thinking about it carefully... it's truly a great torment. But these people have committed countless evil deeds; how can they be worthy of sympathy?"

Yao Yin asked, "And then?" Bai Caiwei replied, "Then they knelt on the mountain for fifty years to atone for their sins. Outside Profound Dao Mountain, there is a ' Evil Obstacle Forest,' where the elders of the Flower Cage Sect... Han Zisha and Ye Cheng stayed, kneeling in the forest every day."

"Bound by iron chains, with sins inscribed on his back, he was forced to listen to sermons and preach daily. Ordinary people, passersby, and wandering wanderers could hurl insults and punches at him at will, without being allowed to retaliate."

"His actions are outrageous, both to gods and men. Every day, hundreds of people come at the first sign of trouble, slapping and cursing him until his cheeks are swollen and red like a pig's head." Han Niannian asked, "Aren't you afraid the Flower Cage Sect will come to your rescue? In my opinion, such humiliation is certainly satisfying, but ultimately, killing him with a single sword is the safest course of action, and it will eliminate any future troubles."

Bai Caiwei said, "The Flower Cage Sect is such a despicable sect, more than capable of engaging in filthy deeds in seclusion. But to go to Profound Dao Mountain to rescue people is absolutely impossible. Firstly, they lack the sense of righteousness, and secondly, they lack the strength. A rash rescue would only add a few more criminals to the Evil Obstacle Forest." Her eyes suddenly flashed slightly, and she added, "If... it were the Candle Cult, that would be a different story. When the candlelight is burning, even Profound Dao Mountain would avoid them in fear."
