"Indeed."

The middle-aged scholar did not refute the black-robed Taoist priest's words. Instead, he nodded and looked up at the thoughtful Great Khan Mongke. "Great Khan, there is no need to worry too much about this white snake. Besides the fact that the Heavenly Dao does not allow earthly immortals to transcend, she also has a very fatal weakness."

When he said this, everyone around him looked over, including the Great Khan Mongke above, who also suddenly raised his head with a puzzled look.

Great Khan Mongke frowned and looked at the middle-aged scholar: "Oh?"

"This woman has a destined Taoist companion, but her companion's level isn't even a human immortal," the middle-aged scholar said in a deep voice. "If she's not even a human immortal, she's still a mortal. Her body can be injured and killed by weapons, and her spirit can be bewitched and confused by Taoist magic. And this white snake's fate is tied to her companion's. If her companion dies, the white snake's foundation will be immediately shattered, and she'll never become a celestial immortal again."

"However, this method should not be used as a last resort. Using it rashly will only lead to fierce retaliation from the White Snake. After all, although the manifestation of the dragon vein was not entirely due to her, it also played a significant role. Moreover, the demons have no good feelings towards humans and have no reason to interfere in the war between humans."

As the middle-aged scholar spoke, Great Khan Mongke's brows slowly relaxed. To send a large army to kill a peak Earth Immortal would be too costly and there was no guarantee that he could be kept alive. But if it was just a mortal, even assassination, sneak attack or poisoning would kill the other party.

"I understand." Mengge nodded and said, "As long as the demon White Snake doesn't become an enemy of Mongolia and interfere with the state's sacred artifacts, I will naturally ignore it. But if it becomes an enemy of me..."

He stopped here, but everyone present knew what the Khan was going to say.

However, when the story of demons and monsters was mentioned, the expressions of the other scholars and warriors were somewhat complicated, and the atmosphere in the golden tent suddenly became a little strange.

The middle-aged scholar shook his feather fan, his eyes moved, and he took out a map next to him.

"Great Khan, let's put the matter of the demons aside for now. The most urgent matter is how to sweep across the entire Bashu region."

The scholar walked up to the Khan and slowly unfolded the map scroll.

"Although Wusheng County is small, it's an excellent strategic location. The army can march directly to Hezhou and join forces with Generals Tiege Huoluchi and Wang Dechen. If we then capture Hezhou, there will be no resistance left in Bashu, and all will fall to the Khan." He pointed to the cities on the map, his voice filled with inexplicable reverence. "Once His Majesty Kublai Khan captures Ezhou, the Khan can use the upper reaches of the Yangtze River as a base, descend eastward to join it, and then march straight to Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. From this perspective, within two years, the entire Central Plains will be under your wing."

He was born with the ability to predict people's popularity, know what would happen in the future, and understand destiny.

They knew that Genghis Khan's personal expedition this time could take down the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, just like those West Asian countries, Dali and Tubo, which would completely submit to this black dragon of the grassland.

"By then, the Great Mongol Empire will become the sole empire on this continent. The Black Dragon of Heaven's Destiny will be fully formed, and the Way of Heaven will be stable. Not to mention those earthly immortals and demons, even if a celestial immortal were truly born in the world, it would be difficult to shake its foundation."

The scholar smiled and described the blueprint for future hegemony.

After all, this is a world dominated by humans. Humans are favored by heaven. No matter how powerful other alien species are, they can only be supporting roles in the end.

......

In the following months, the Mongolian cavalry trampled through the land and no city in Bashu could be defended. Corpses were scattered everywhere and blood was flowing everywhere. Due to the terror of the Mongolian army, people surrendered in large numbers.

In February of the first year of Kaiqing, several Mongolian armies joined together, claiming to have an army of 300,000. Led by Genghis Khan himself, the troops headed straight for Diaoyu City in Hezhou.

In Diaoyucheng, in a makeshift medical clinic, there were many wounded and sick people, including injured soldiers and ordinary people, who lined up in front of the clinic.

The news that the immortal doctor from Qiantang County, Lin'an Prefecture, came here to open a clinic to save people had already spread to the ears of everyone in Diaoyu City.

The medical immortal of Lin'an, Xu Xianer.

Compared with the officials in the court, more people in the common people have only heard of the name of the Medical Immortal.

In addition to her stunning appearance, she also has a medical skill and a compassionate heart that has saved countless lives.

This isn't...

The land of Bashu had just fallen into the quagmire of war and was in danger of being destroyed by the Mongolian barbarians at any time, but the medical immortal traveled all the way, opening clinics in one city after another to cure diseases and save lives.

Regardless of gender, age or status, all medical treatment is free.

This kind-heartedness of great benevolence and righteousness not only shocked the world, but even the commander of Diaoyu City was moved by Xu Xianer's arrival. He specially ordered people to build a clinic overnight and provide everything for daily expenses.

"Miss Xian'er is truly a living Bodhisattva..."

"If it weren't for the Medical Fairy, my wife would have given up long ago!"

"My knife wound is so deep that you can see the bone. I was almost dying when my brothers carried me in. I didn't expect that the Medical Immortal would come back."

The place was bustling with activity, filled with cries of grief and expressions of gratitude from those who had been healed. From morning till dusk, the sick and injured were constantly arriving. As night fell and the lights came on, the clinic gradually closed its doors and ceased operations.

Inside the clinic.

"If only I could become a terrestrial immortal, I could probably save more people."

Xu Xianxian sat at the table, looking at the flickering candlelight, picked up the pastry in front of her and ate it, relaxing from the fatigue of the day.

With the days of saving lives and healing the wounded, the Qingmu Xuanfa in her body has reached a new height. This is an unprecedented feeling. For her, saving lives and killing people has become a matter of a single thought.

Although this is just a projection of history and not the real world, the murderous devil has become the savior of the world. This change of identity has given Xu Xianxian a new understanding of life and death.

"Xian'er, you're not even a human immortal, let alone an earthly immortal. Stop aiming so high." Zhuyeqing sat to the side and simply rolled his eyes at the woman in the red dress, as if mocking her for daydreaming. "It's true that humans are the most intelligent creatures in the world, and they can practice Taoism much faster than demons, but this is only limited to those talented Taoists. Most Taoists are limited by their lifespans and remain human immortals throughout their lives. Even fewer achieve earthly immortals."

"Not to mention that your Qingmu Xuanfa was inherited by the Qing Emperor. It is extremely difficult to practice. No one has ever successfully mastered it."

"You're just bullying us because humans have shorter lifespans than you! Xiaoqing, if you were to cultivate for a dozen or even dozens of years, you'd probably still be an untransformed little green snake."

Xu Xianxian took a bite of the osmanthus pastry and retorted somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Her body is only eighteen years old, and she has been practicing for only a few years. If she can cultivate to the human immortal realm, she will be a first-class disciple in the Taoist sect.
