Spirit-Riding Valley!
"Both of them have mobilized. What is the Knight Temple planning?"
The two black-robed elders grew extremely curious when they saw both Yang Haohan and Long Tianyin setting out.
Anything that attracted the attention of two Divine Seal Knights was no trivial matter.
Yang Tian's residence!
"Holy Knight Commander!"
Seeing Han Qian return, the ordinary maid assigned to attend the patient bowed respectfully.
"Mm. Is he doing all right?"
Han Qian nodded, naturally asking about the care Yang Tian had received.
The maid nodded, then answered earnestly, "Everything is normal. After the bishop's treatment, this young gentleman has been recovering very well!"
"Good. You may go. Remember to take good care of him!"
Han Qian nodded. He was quite satisfied with this maid.
"Yes, Holy Knight Commander!" the maid replied before withdrawing politely.
Then Han Qian led the two Divine Seal Knights inside.
Yang Haohan was already impatient. He walked over to Yang Tian and extended a broad hand untouched by age. A gentle light swept through Yang Tian's body, examining it.
A moment later!
"The spiritual power in his body has been drained, and the place where it was stored has been destroyed. Unless he uses the Secret Pseudo-Spirit Aperture Cultivation Method, it will be difficult for him to cultivate again!"
"However, the traces of spiritual power remaining in his body are very pure and rich, proving that his talent really is exceptional. We cannot determine exactly how much innate internal spiritual power he has!"
After finishing his examination, Yang Haohan murmured his findings.
"This child's surname is Yang too. Haha, perhaps the Yang family will have another Divine Seal Knight someday!"
Yang Haohan laughed.
Yang Tian's remaining external spiritual power-his physical strength-could not be stripped away. He had built it through training day and night.
He was only seven, yet his external spiritual power alone was already at the second tier. If he truly had ninety-nine points of innate internal spiritual power, he was already a true Knight!
A seven-year-old Knight was a prodigy the likes of which the Knight Temple had never seen!
Looking at the pleased Yang Haohan, Long Tianyin teased him. "Old Yang, even you said he would struggle to cultivate without a secret method. Aren't you celebrating a little too soon?"
Yang Haohan looked at Long Tianyin and smiled.
"Haha, there will always be a way. This happens to be the Priests' specialty!"
"Those fellows aren't great fighters, but when it comes to healing, no one can match them!"
"Especially when a Saint takes action. As long as the vital parts aren't destroyed, even if your head falls off, they can put it back on within a short time!"
Yang Haohan laughed as he spoke.
Then he looked at Han Qian, considered for a moment, and took a deep breath.
"Han Qian, whatever terms the Priest Temple asks for, you must persuade them to help Yang Tian recover!"
"Of course, don't tell them about Yang Tian's true talent. I'm afraid they'll try to steal him!"
Yang Haohan gave his instructions. Though his last remark sounded somewhat theatrical, it was also true.
Knights also possessed the light attribute.
If those fellows learned that Yang Tian had ninety-nine points of innate internal spiritual power, they would try to poach him.
That would be a headache.
"Hehe, they won't. After all, we have our own strengths to rely on."
"Then I'll go negotiate with the Priest Temple's Temple Master!"
"Temple Master, are we really agreeing to any terms?"
Han Qian smiled too. With his superior's approval, this was as good as settled, and he felt confident.
In heritage and wealth, their Knight Temple was no inferior. It stood at the head of the Alliance.
"Er, within acceptable limits. After all, there are some things we cannot give them!"
Han Qian's question briefly caught Yang Haohan off guard. That old rascal had done it on purpose, but he still had to clarify.
If they asked for a Divine Throne, they would not be able to use it even if he gave it to them.
As for epic-grade equipment...
Han Qian smiled. Having received his superior's permission, he promptly set out for the Priest Temple's territory, Zhennan Pass!
Before leaving, however, he contacted Cardinal Weak Water. After all, having an old friend help treat Yang Tian first and provide follow-up care was still an option.
A day passed.
Ye Hua got out of bed and went to visit Yang Tian despite his injuries.
Beside Yang Tian, a maid regularly fed him water and spiritual elixirs that replenished his nutrients and aided his recovery.
"Sir Knight!"
The maid was very attentive. Otherwise, she would not have earned Han Qian's approval.
Seeing Ye Hua arrive, she could clearly tell that his status was unusual. He must be a Knight.
As for Li Jie, who stood guard, he was a seventh-tier Temple Knight.
Ye Hua bore no ill intent, so Li Jie did not reveal himself to stop him.
"Mm. I'm his teacher, here to see him. Is now a convenient time?"
Ye Hua's stiff face twitched slightly as he addressed the rather pretty maid.
Ye Hua knew that, now that they had come to the Temple, he might not be able to take Yang Tian away again.
He also hoped the Temple could train Yang Tian better and ensure that he grew up safely!
"Yes, but the patient hasn't woken up yet. Please don't make too much noise and wake him!"
The maid answered politely.
She was merely a little surprised.
Ye Hua walked inside and felt the dense light element.
Compared with the Haoyue Branch Hall, this was like the brilliance of the moon beside a firefly.
After all, the Haoyue Branch Hall had limited resources.
"Yang Tian, you've carried all your teacher's hopes over this past month. It seems our time as master and disciple is coming to an end!"
"If you recover, you'll probably want to stay in the Holy City too."
"The Knight Temple will give you more resources for cultivation. In the future, you could even become a Divine Seal Knight..."
Ye Hua said a great deal, but Yang Tian could not hear him, for his voice was rough and low.
He did not want to wake him.
Then the delicate index finger of Yang Tian's right hand moved slightly.
The movement was so faint that Ye Hua did not notice.
He sensed that Yang Tian's breathing was steady, and much of the color had returned to his face.
His face looked delicate and handsome, his ear-length hair lending him a refined air.
His clothes had also been changed to a comfortable white outfit suited to his recovery.
Clearly, the maid was very attentive.
"I'm just afraid the Temple might shelter you too much. Under all that protection, will you be able to spread your wings and fly?"
Ye Hua was worried too. Good resources and protection had both advantages and drawbacks.
In the end, he left. He still had to wait for Yang Tian to wake up, as well as for the Temple's punishment. After all, he had charged straight into the Holy City on his mount!
Several days later, at Zhennan Pass!
"A secret method to reconstruct his bones and sinews? Brother Han, you're putting me in a difficult position!"
A Priest in golden robes spoke with a frown.
If they needed forbidden curse level healing spells, perhaps he could cast a few.
But this secret method for reconstructing bones and sinews was a closely guarded secret of the Priest Temple. Only a handful of people knew it.
After all, the reconstruction might even enhance a person's talent.
Han Qian smiled without immediately offering any terms. "Haha, Brother Ling Xiao, just tell me what you need!"
"Otherwise, let Elder Ling decide. With you performing the treatment, I'd feel confident. With Elder Ling doing it, I'd have complete peace of mind!"
Then he tried to goad him again.
After all, although both were at the ninth tier, they were on different levels. Elder Ling was naturally the grandfather of this Saint-level Priest.
With that elder taking action, Yang Tian's reconstruction seemed all but assured.
"Brother Han, if you can persuade our old patriarch to act, I'll be impressed!"
Ling Xiao was speechless too. His grandfather no longer concerned himself with their affairs, though he had not entirely washed his hands of them.
Han Qian took a step back and pleaded, "Then I'm sorry for the trouble, Brother Ling!"
