Having witnessed the failures of the first two teachers, it was finally Xing's turn.
"It takes Galactic Baseballer himself to step in!"
Xing walked confidently up to Green Phoebe with his hands in his pockets, deliberately pausing for a moment before Green Hibiscus instinctively covered his face.
"Don't hit me in the face... Hey? A new guest? Cough cough cough! This guest from a foreign land, please wait a moment, do you yearn for immortality?"
Green Phoebe quickly composed herself, while Star looked puzzled, pointing at his plastic Cloud Knights helmet.
"Let's put aside the issue of immortality for now. Is this how you talk to a client? And wearing a mask... you obviously have some shady secret!"
"Forehead..."
From the very beginning, Xing displayed her powerful aura, successfully intimidating Green Phoebe.
"Now... take off your mask, and you'll have the right to speak to me as an equal."
Green Phoebe did as instructed, showing Xing his swollen left and right cheeks.
"Pfft~"
An untimely laugh escaped Xing's lips; she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Green Phoebe:???
"Hey, did you just chuckle?"
"You misheard me. I've never been one to laugh. In this vast universe, very few people can make me laugh out loud." Xing suddenly became serious and leaned close to Green Phoebe's ear.
"A detailed explanation of immortality."
Green Phoebe's eyes lit up. She was an expert; she knew to keep her voice down and not talk about indecent topics aloud.
"This young lady is indeed intelligent; I was blind to her talent! I admire her greatly!"
You're too kind.
Having learned from the previous experience, Green Phoebe changed her approach this time. Since she couldn't mention "longevity" and " Abundance " on the Xianzhou, she steered the conversation back to the very beginning: power.
"Sister, have you ever thought that one day you would wake up and find yourself with superhuman strength and an endless lifespan?"
"Of course I've thought about it; it's my lifelong dream! To gain both Abundance, and power!"
"Shh... shh..." Green Phoebe hurriedly gestured for Xing to lower her voice. "Sister, you can't mention [ Abundance ] on the Xianzhou! Can you see my swollen face? I was just beaten up by a cultist!"
"Let me lower my voice. Before you gain absolute power, you must also yearn to live forever, right? But the Xianzhou Alliance doesn't care about the well-being of Short-Life Species! They stubbornly forbid the path to immortality."
"My name is Green Phoebe. I have come to Exalting Sanctum in the hope of meeting someone like you, a kindred spirit, and ascending the path to immortality with me." Green Phoebe introduced herself.
"How about we go somewhere more suitable for discussing these things?"
"That's exactly what I've been waiting for, brother!" Xing agreed without hesitation, almost leaving Green Phoebe completely bewildered.
Realizing she had been too excited, Xing quickly corrected herself. "However, it sounds a bit dangerous..."
"Oh! How could that be! We're just honest, law-abiding citizens, only more true to our inner desires than other residents of the Xianzhou. I wouldn't harm you."
You better not be lying to me.
"Don't worry, we shouldn't stay here any longer. Come with me quickly!"
Before leaving, Xing turned back and gave Ye Yan and the other two hiding behind the wall an OK sign.
"As expected of her, the other party took the bait so easily."
On March 7th, it was impossible to tell who the prey was; poor Green Phoebe was manipulated at their mercy.
"Shall we go and take a look?" Ye Yan suggested, his fingertips twirling the silk thread.
"Great! It's the [ Eternity ] blessing that's generating the loudest cheers!"
We've arrived. This is the place.
Green Phoebe led the star to a relatively open area.
"What are you trying to do?" Xing asked, feigning wariness.
"Don't worry, Medicine King Cihuai, I won't harm you. Let me reintroduce myself, I am the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, the [ Medicaster ]. I couldn't reveal my identity in Exalting Sanctum before, but now I can tell you without worry."
"The ' Disciples of Sanctus Medicus ' is an organization that regards the Compassionate Medicine King as the orthodox religion and Dharma, and ' The Medicaster ' is what we followers call ourselves."
"To obtain the secret to immortality, one must become a Medicaster, but to become Medicaster, one must undergo some minor trials."
Green Phoebe cupped her chest with both hands. "Please forgive me... As the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus grow stronger, they have also attracted the attention of those Demon Bow followers. If we don't act with caution, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Just like those two bastards who couldn't understand human language..." Green Phoebe muttered under his breath, the pain in his face still lingering.
"Aren't the Xianzhou native supposed to hate [ Abundance ]? Judging from your attire... you're definitely a local from Xianzhou?"
"My friend, you don't understand. Only those bewitched by the Demon Bow would hate the Compassionate Medicine King, but unfortunately, there are many such people... far too many."
"That's easy to say, but what can I possibly get from the Medicine King?"
Xing put one hand on her hip, completely feigning a look of being tricked but feeling cheated.
Green Phoebe patiently explained to her, "Every race yearns for the blessings and healing of the Compassionate Medicine King, whether or not they have heard of the name [ Abundance ]."
The Foxian yearns for a cure for its short lifespan of only three hundred years. The Vidyadhara cure for the suffering of reincarnation and childlessness...
" The Xianzhou native, however, crave [healing] from the torment of their Mara-Struck, though we consider it not torment, but rather a kind of evolutionary blessing."
"To return to your question, the Medicine King can [heal] your Short-Life Species's aging, sickness, and death, just as He did for the Xianzhou native."
"[May all your requests be fulfilled.] The Compassionate Medicine King is magnanimous and will never easily refuse anyone's prayers. Therefore, the entrance test of our Disciples of Sanctus Medicus will not be too difficult."
Green Phoebe coughed lightly a few times and instructed her subordinate to hand over a thick, ancient book:
"Just this ' Book of the Aeon of Permanence's Virtues '... what is this thing???"
Green Phoebe turned to her subordinate beside her, "Where is the ' The Thousand-Armed Compassionate Medicine King's Salvation '?"
"I don't know." The subordinate scratched his head, glancing at something not far away. "Boss... it looks like that book that's being used to prop up the corner of the table..."
Following the subordinate's gaze, a blond man dressed in the attire of Chair was copying something.
"What?!" Green Phoebe stared wide-eyed in disbelief and stormed up to him.
Xing finally saw the person's face clearly and was almost speechless with shock.
"Bububububu... Chair Blake?!"
"Hmm?" Blake looked up and met Xing's gaze, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Oh, beautiful lady, it's an honor to meet you. But now doesn't seem like the time for conversation, please wait a moment." Blake greeted Star with a smile, completely ignoring Green Phoebe beside him.
"Damn it, I'm talking to you! Why are you using it as a table leg?"
"I'm innocent, my friend! I've been diligently copying the ' The Thousand-Armed Compassionate Medicine King's Salvation '... oh no, to be precise, I've been memorizing it."
Blake handed the copied text to Green Phoebe. "I'm sorry, but if you put the ' The Thousand-Armed Compassionate Medicine King's Salvation ' in front of me, I wouldn't be able to resist stealing a few glances. That goes against our aesthetics of ' Abundance,' doesn't it?"
After a few words, he was successfully fooled by Green Phoebe. He picked up the ancient book of Disciples of Sanctus Medicus and walked up to Xing:
"Don't let this delay the important matter. Let's continue our previous topic: You only need to copy this book, ' The Thousand-Armed Compassionate Medicine King's Salvation,' five hundred times. Once your brothers and sisters believe in your sincerity, you can become a Medicaster."
"This is the fundamental scripture Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. You must copy it carefully with a devout heart... and it would be best if you could even memorize it."
"Of course, this is only the first step. After becoming Medicaster, you will have to go through many other trials."
Xing suspected she'd misheard. Had this guy discovered her undercover identity? Five hundred times? Was he determined to torment her?
Did you give me a pen?
"Don't worry, everything is prepared for you. Traditional Xianzhou writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, smooth writing, ergonomic, you won't feel tired even after copying it 50,000 times. It's true, I copied it 50,000 times back then."
"Tsk, that's very rare," Blake retorted.
" Shut Up, you bastard who used the ' The Thousand-Armed Compassionate Medicine King's Salvation ' as a table cushion! You're punished by having to repeat it five hundred times, which will be increased to five thousand!"
Meanwhile, Ye Yan and his two companions were eavesdropping outside the wall.
"That's really rare."
Ye Yan stroked his chin. If he remembered correctly, Blake had copied the entire Amber Era of the Book of Eternal Virtues without eating or drinking in order to demonstrate his loyalty to [ Eternity ].
" Teacher Ye Yan, you have to consider the feelings of ordinary people."
