The world reincarnates, each time a new talent!

205: Return to Central Plains”Alliance Leader Yue, in truth, we are very curious about the Realm beyond Dao Comprehension. Since Alliance Leader Yue has reached such an unprecedented Realm, I wonder if you could resolve our confusion?”

Island Master Long was the first to speak.

Beside him, Island Master Mu also nodded repeatedly and sighed softly, ”This supreme Realm of martial arts is what we Martial Artists pursue all our lives, and what the two of us have been bitterly seeking for decades. If we could witness such a Realm with our own eyes and understand the capabilities of this Realm, we would have no regrets even in death.”

Ning Yuan calmly took a sip of wine, a hint of a smile on his lips.

Long and Mu looked at each other.

After hesitating for a long while, Long and Mu spoke again, ”If Headmaster Yue has any requirements, please feel free to state them; we two brothers will certainly do our best to satisfy them.”

”Ah! Your Excellency’s words are a bit too belittling of Yue. Am I, Yue, such a profit-seeking person?”

Ning Yuan immediately shook his head and laughed, ”Furthermore, my Breakthrough this time was entirely thanks to the two of you and your Tai Xuan Sutra. The fact that you two could hold such a peerless technique yet invite fellow Jianghu members to study it together is a breadth of mind that I, Yue, greatly admire. The Tai Xuan Sutra relies on Comprehension Ability; everyone’s understanding is different and cannot be conveyed in words, otherwise I, Yue, would certainly not be stingy.”

”But as for some insights and experiences regarding the Breakthrough to the next Realm, as well as the mysteries of this Realm, since you two wish to know, I, Yue, will naturally tell you everything I know without reservation.”

Ning Yuan was all smiles.

Hearing these words, the eyes of Long and Mu instantly lit up.

”Truly?”

Island Master Mu couldn’t help but blurt out, his face showing pleasant surprise.

He clearly hadn’t expected Ning Yuan to agree so readily.

They had originally prepared a whole set of arguments, but now they were all useless.

”Do the two Island Masters think that I, Yue, am joking?”

Ning Yuan’s expression darkened slightly.

”Of course not.”

The two immediately shook their heads.

”Rest assured, Island Masters, over the next month, we will have plenty of time to discuss the Dao.”

Ning Yuan smiled slightly, which also put Long and Mu at ease... Time flew by.

A month later.

During this month, Ning Yuan exchanged many ideas with Long and Mu.

Ning Yuan did not absorb the cultivation of the two.

Because after he stepped into the Aperture Condensation stage, the cultivation of those below dao entry had a very limited effect on his growth.

Quantitative change might lead to qualitative change, but the quantity required was too great.

In the current world of Xiao Ao, there wasn’t enough quantity to cause a qualitative change.

Instead, giving Long and Mu a chance might lead to unexpected surprises.

After all, he still had to stay in this world for a year or two.

If Long and Mu successfully achieved dao entry by relying on the experience he shared, then the benefits of absorbing their cultivation at that time would be even more bountiful.

Ning Yuan’s eyes flickered as he thought this to himself.

Of course, if the two could not break through, it wouldn’t matter.

When his main body entered, there would still be opportunities.

After all, the most important thing was the strength of his main body.

This body was just a minor branch, not important.

It didn’t need to be raised too high.

Being invincible in this world was enough.

Leaving some large fruits for the main body was clearly more valuable.

”Alliance Leader Yue, during this time, we thank Your Excellency for your guidance. We two brothers have benefited greatly. If we are truly fortunate enough to take another step forward in the future, we will surely go to Mount Hua to personally thank Alliance Leader Yue for his kindness!”

Long and Mu stood at the pier, solemnly cupping their fists.

”I also congratulate the two Island Masters in advance on making further progress.”

Ning Yuan stood at the bow of the ship and said with a smile.

”Zhang San, Li Si, on this journey, you are to follow Alliance Leader Yue’s lead. His orders are our orders, do you understand?”

Long and Mu looked at Zhang San and Li Si, suddenly speaking with a stern expression.

”Rest assured, Island Masters, we definitely will.”

Zhang San and Li Si immediately replied solemnly.

”One more thing, Xia Ke Island no longer has a reason to exist. From now on, you are free and do not need to return to Xia Ke Island.”

”Ah?”

Hearing this, stunned expressions appeared on both their faces, ”Island Masters!”

The two hurried to call out.

But Island Master Long raised his hand to stop them, his gaze falling on Ning Yuan as he said with a smile, ”Alliance Leader Yue, although Zhang San and Li Si are not the world’s top experts, they are still quite powerful. If Headmaster Yue doesn’t mind, you could take them into the Five Mountains Sword Sect as Protector Elders, which would give them a place to settle down.”

Hearing this, the bodies of Zhang San and Li Si stiffened slightly, and then they stole a glance at Ning Yuan.

”I am naturally willing to accept experts like Zhang San and Li Si, but I don’t know their opinions...”

Ning Yuan turned to look at the two.

Zhang San and Li Si snapped out of it and immediately nodded, ”We are naturally willing to follow an enlightened master like Alliance Leader Yue.”

The two answered without the slightest hesitation.

After all, they knew some of the other party’s dark secrets.

If they didn’t agree, the other party might find an opportunity to kill them after reaching the shore to prevent the secrets from leaking.

Now that the two Island Masters had given them a chance to join the Five Mountains Sword Sect, they would be on the same side. Under the other party’s nose, they wouldn’t be able to cause trouble, so there would naturally be no need to eliminate them.

Therefore, understanding this, the two realized it instantly, which was why they agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, a single moment of hesitation could bring about a fatal disaster.

”Since you two have no objections, then I, Yue, welcome the two Elders to join the Five Mountains Sword Sect.”

A smile also appeared on Ning Yuan’s face.

Soon, the large ship set sail.

Compared to the bustle when they arrived, the entire ship now seemed extremely quiet.

There was no longer any need to clash over rooms.

”How is Brother Shi?”

Ning Yuan came to the room and asked.

Min Rou put the water basin aside, stood up, and hurriedly said, ”He’s much better. Although his injuries haven’t fully healed, they are temporarily under control.”

”Brother Yue...”

At this time, Shi Qing also looked up, showing a look of gratitude, ”Thank you, Brother Yue. If not for Brother Yue constantly protecting my heart meridians with True Qi, I would already be a dead man.”

”Brother Shi was able to stand by my side without fear of danger at such a critical moment; I, Yue, am extremely grateful. Once we return to the Central Plains, I will personally invite the killer doctor Ping Yizhi to treat Brother Shi’s injuries. With him taking action, I’m sure this internal injury will be easily cured.”

”Hope so.”

Shi Qing sighed softly, not holding much hope for this.

Even if the internal organ injuries could be cured, his crippled legs were already a certainty.

He was destined to never stand up again, unable to move freely.

Thinking of this, Shi Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit dejected.

”Junior Sister, I’m tired.”

Shi Qing closed his eyes, clearly in a bad mood.

”Then we’ll head out first.”

Min Rou was stunned for a moment but eventually nodded.

Just as she left the room and closed the door, Min Rou felt her hand being grabbed, and then she saw Ning Yuan’s smiling face.

Min Rou looked back at the closed door and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Clearly, during this period, she had completely adapted to such a life... A month later.

Ning Yuan and his party arrived at the Ping Residence in Luoyang.

”Mr. Ping, we meet again.”

Seeing Ping Yizhi, Ning Yuan said with a smile on his lips.

Ping Yizhi was first stunned, then recognized Ning Yuan’s identity.

”The Five Mountains Alliance Chief honors us with his presence; please excuse my lack of a proper welcome!”

Although Ping Yizhi himself did not know martial arts and was not a member of the Jianghu, the number of Jianghu people who had received his favors was countless, so he naturally knew about Jianghu matters.

”It seems Mr. Ping still remembers me, Yue.”

The smile on Ning Yuan’s face grew even wider.

”A distinguished person like Alliance Leader Yue likely wouldn’t come to my humble abode without a reason. I wonder if there is anything Ping can help with this time?”

Ping Yizhi asked directly.

The purpose of people coming here was self-evident.

”Mr. Ping is indeed a straightforward person.”

Ning Yuan smiled slightly, ”I have an old friend who is seriously injured and would like to ask Your Excellency to treat him.”

”Alliance Leader Yue, although you are now the esteemed Five Mountains Alliance Chief, you should understand my rules. I have always killed one person to save one person.”

Ping Yizhi said expressionlessly.

”I certainly understand this rule. I wonder if Mr. Ping thinks his own life is worth saving a person?”

Ning Yuan said with a beaming smile.

Ping Yizhi’s expression changed, showing displeasure, ”Yue Buqun, are you threatening me?”

”Hmph, although you are the Five Mountains Alliance Chief and hold a high position of power, I, Ping Yizhi, am not...”

Before Ping Yizhi could finish his sentence, Ning Yuan’s sword was already resting on Ping Yizhi’s shoulder. ”Mr. Ping, I, Yue, admire talents like you the most. Over the years, you have also treated many people for the Demonic Cult. Logically speaking, as the Five Mountains Alliance Chief, I should not let someone like you who colludes with the Demonic Cult go. However, I also know that Mr. Ping did not intentionally collude with the Demonic Cult, so I, Yue, am willing to give you a chance, and I hope you give yourself a chance as well.”

”Do not force me, Yue, to do something I don’t want to do.”

Ning Yuan said calmly, his words full of threat.

Ping Yizhi’s face turned ashen, and he snorted coldly, ”If I, Ping Yizhi, cared about threats, I wouldn’t have established this rule for so many years.”

Ping Yizhi said, bracing himself.

”Mr. Ping had better think twice. I know Mr. Ping is not afraid of death, but once a person is dead, all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases in this world will never be encountered or solved again. This would be a great regret for the world of medicine, and for you as well, it would be a huge regret.”

”On the contrary, staying alive allows you to witness more strange diseases and divine medicines.”

”What do you mean?”

Hearing this, Ping Yizhi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Ning Yuan smiled confidently and asked, ”I wonder if Mr. Ping can reconnect shattered bones?”

”What?”

Ping Yizhi was startled, then snorted and said with displeasure, ”Is Your Excellency making fun of me?”

”If bones are shattered into pieces, even if an immortal came, they couldn’t be reconnected. How could I possibly treat them?”

”That might not necessarily be the case.”

Ning Yuan smiled upon hearing this, ”I have heard that there was once a medicine that could cause even bones broken into fragments to mend and heal, allowing one to stand up again.”

”Impossible!”

Ping Yizhi flicked his sleeve and flatly denied it, ”Such a thing is absolutely impossible. Even if Alliance Leader Yue intends to provoke me, there’s no need to use such clumsy lies.”

”That only shows that you, Ping Yizhi, this peerless famous doctor, are ill-informed.”

Ning Yuan sighed softly and shook his head, ”It seems the so-called peerless famous doctor is nothing more than this.”

”Wait!”

Hearing this, Ping Yizhi’s face showed a struggle, and then he suddenly raised his hand and said, ”Fine, then I would like to hear Your Excellency’s brilliant opinion.”

Although Ping Yizhi could tell the other party was deliberately provoking him, he had to admit he was indeed a bit curious.

”I wonder if Your Excellency has heard of a rare medicine called—black jade muscle regeneration balm!”

”black jade muscle regeneration balm?”

Hearing this name, Ping Yizhi’s brow furrowed instantly, but after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head, ”Is this the rare medicine you said could heal bone injuries?”

The black jade muscle regeneration balm was originally a secret medicine of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions. It later fell into the hands of Princess Shaomin of the Yuan Court and eventually found its way to Zhang Wuji, who used it to heal members of Wudang.

But very few people in the Jianghu knew about this matter, let alone ordinary people.

Especially after a hundred years, the Legacy of the black jade muscle regeneration balm had been broken, so Ping Yizhi naturally was not aware of it.

”Indeed. This medicine is not just for treating bone injuries; even if your bones are smashed to pieces, even if you haven’t been able to stand for decades, as long as this medicine is present, you can recover as before.”

Ning Yuan said with a smile.

”Impossible!”

Ping Yizhi flatly denied it, ”For an injury of decades, the bones would have already healed in a misaligned way. How could they be cured? Alliance Leader Yue, you are exaggerating too much; it’s too fake.”

”Ping has read through countless books and has never heard of such a medicine.”

Ping Yizhi said with a face full of disbelief.

”That only shows that Your Excellency is ill-informed. You’ve read through countless books, but have you ever seen the books written by the Medical Saint and Poison Saint who were famous throughout the world in the past?”

Ning Yuan asked back.

”This...”

The expression on Ping Yizhi’s face suddenly froze.

Because he truly hadn’t seen them.

Those two were indeed famous throughout the world back then, so he naturally knew a thing or two, but he had never seen their medical books.

”This shows that Your Excellency’s knowledge is limited. This black jade muscle regeneration balm was originally a secret medicine of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions. This sect Cultivates external arts, and their bones were often injured, which is why they developed this medicine. Back then, one of the Seven Heroes of Wudang had his bones shattered for over ten years and relied on this medicine to fully recover.”

”What? An old injury of over ten years could be cured? How was that done?”

Ping Yizhi did not immediately deny the existence of the medicine but questioned its irrationality.

”It’s simple: crush all the bones that had already healed, and then reapply this medicine; one will naturally recover.”

Ning Yuan smiled faintly and said.

”So that’s how it is!”

Hearing this, Ping Yizhi’s eyes lit up, and he believed a bit more of what Ning Yuan said.

Because if such a thing weren’t true, one would never think of such a method.

Even he hadn’t expected that things would be so simple yet so unexpected.

”Crushing all the misaligned healed bones and then using this medicine to heal them again—what a brilliant method. It seems it’s not impossible for this black jade muscle regeneration balm to exist.”

Ping Yizhi already showed a look of curiosity and looked at Ning Yuan, ”Does Alliance Leader Yue have such a medicine?”

Ning Yuan shook his head, ”I don’t have it now, but I know where it is.”

”Where?”

Hearing this, Ping Yizhi’s eyes sparkled even more. He naturally wanted to find such a rare medicine to study.

After all, he had never heard of a medicine that could heal shattered bones.

Now that he knew of it, he naturally didn’t want to miss it.
