Chapter 48 Abnormality in Dantian

Tang Fengshan simply couldn't believe the results of his examination, and even checked again and again, but found that there was nothing wrong with his examination. There was indeed a magic pill in Xie Buyou's body, side by side with Xie Buyou's own inner pill.

However, the demonic energy of the magic pill was more concentrated. The floating demonic energy surrounded himself and the other inner pill, but did not devour the inner pill.

Tang Fengshan guessed that the reason why the demonic energy was so dense was because some of it had been absorbed. No wonder Xie Buyou was able to remain safe and sound despite being surrounded by demonic energy. It must have been absorbed by the magic pill.

Tang Fengshan felt like he knew a huge secret of Xie Buyou, but this secret didn't seem so good. He didn't know whether to tell the leader of Wandao Sect, Mo Wanli, or just throw Xie Buyou out of the hall now.

Finally, after a lot of inner trials, Tang Fengshan let out a sigh of relief and finally decided not to get involved in anything.

However, he still notified the people of Wan Dao Sect to pick him up. It was the Sect Master Mo Wanli who came in person. When he saw Xie Buyou's condition, his face was extremely serious, but fortunately he did not ask anything and just took Xie Buyou back.

Tang Fengshan looked at the high mountains and white clouds in the distance and left everything to fate.

…

Xie Buyu was in a coma for a whole month this time. During this month, everyone in the sect looked not very good, and every corner of the sect was filled with a dead atmosphere.

A disciple prepared white silk, but was discovered by the sect elders and chased and beaten on the spot.

Tang Fengshan, who has been checking on Xie Buyou's situation from time to time recently: "..."

Is this considered worrying? Is it too much?

Perhaps it was because Tang Fengshan came so often that the people in the sect got used to it and no one tried to stop him.

Tang Fengshan arrived at Hanxin Cave with ease and met Xie Buyou who had just woken up.

Tang Fengshan, who originally thought Xie Buyou was still unconscious, said: "!"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xie Buyu shuddered suddenly, and then he saw Tang Fengshan appear in front of him.

"Are you awake? How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

This series of concerns made Xie Buyou look up at him involuntarily, sizing him up carefully as if he wanted to see something from him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I just want to know whether you are dead or not." Tang Fengshan glared at him and said unhappily.

This is what Tang Fengshan should say. I thought it was a different person who spoke so caringly.

"It's not time for me to die yet, don't worry." Xie Buyu accepted his concern and said that he didn't feel any discomfort after waking up.

"I feel like I just had a normal sleep, and now I feel very energetic. How long have I slept?"

"One month." Tang Fengshan extended his index finger.

Xie Buyou: “???”

He asked uncertainly, "Is it really one month?"

Tang Fengshan snorted and laughed, "What else? Besides you who can sleep so well, who else would faint so many times?"

After hearing what Tang Fengshan said, Xie Buyu really felt that he was often in a coma, and he was either in a coma or on the road to a coma and never returned.

Xie Buyou shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he asked about the Linshui City incident. "Where is Xie Nan? And that demon cultivator, what happened at that time? And why did I return to the Wandao Sect?"

Tang Fengshan patiently explained to him all the situations that followed, "I also gave Xie Nan a voice transmission talisman, and the other one is with me." Tang Fengshan took out the voice transmission talisman and handed it to Xie Buyou, "You can transmit the voice to Xie Nan now."

Xie Buyou took the voice transmission talisman and injected spiritual power into it. Soon, Xie Nan's voice came from the voice transmission talisman:

"Brother?"

The voice was still flat and without any emotion, but in the word "brother", Xie Buyu could still hear a hint of concern.

Tang Fengshan went out quietly, and stood guard at the door to prevent others from disturbing him.

Xie Buyou lowered his eyes and stared blankly for a while before replying, "Xiao Nan, where are you now?"

There was silence for a long time before I got a response.

"... Let's wait until my brother gets better. Don't worry, Xiaobai is with me."

"…It's my fault. I shouldn't have made brother worry. If I hadn't gone to the Phantom Valley alone, this wouldn't have happened... Brother wouldn't have been in a coma until now. What happened now is what I deserve..."

"But there is only one thing to be happy about... I have become great. Will my brother be proud of me?"

Even if this level of cultivation was not achieved through his hard work.

Xie Buyou was stunned when he heard this. Did Xie Nan remember those words from the beginning to the end? They were just words to coax him...

He wanted Xie Nan to become powerful, but not in this way.

But if... if Xie Nan could be prevented from being bullied in the future, it would not matter even if he was possessed by a demon.

As for those righteous people who might encounter Xie Nan and be hunted down by him, Xie Buyu would of course choose to stand on Xie Nan's side without hesitation.

"You're not wrong, you just want to become stronger. You have never hurt anyone on your own initiative, and your brother will always stand by you." Xie Buyu said softly.

"When you encounter danger, remember to find your brother first. Your brother may not be able to defeat you, but he will definitely take you and hide." Xie Buyu said half-jokingly, "I'll hide in the master's mountain. What do you think?"

"Okay." The other party's tone remained the same, but Xie Buyou felt like he was back in the days when Xie Nan was still in the mountains.

They chatted for a while afterwards, and only when the voice transmission talisman time ran out did they forcibly interrupt this heartwarming conversation.

Tang Fengshan stood outside the cave entrance and could vaguely hear the voices inside. He did not deliberately listen to the content of the conversation inside, it was nothing more than some private words, there was no need for him to eavesdrop.

After the cave became quiet, Tang Fengshan knew that their chat was over. He walked in and said to Xie Buyu, "This voice transmission talisman has three chances to transmit the voice, and now there are two left."

He paused and continued, "Since you don't have anything to do, I won't stay any longer. Others should come to see you soon. I'm leaving first."

Tang Fengshan was about to leave, but when he stepped out of the cave, he heard Xie Buyou's voice.

"Thank you."

Tang Fengshan paused, then lowered his eyes and said softly, "You're welcome."

Not long after Tang Fengshan left, Mo Wanli arrived. This place originally belonged to him, and he could come to see Xie Buyou anytime he wanted.

As usual, he came over to see if Xie Buyou was awake, and then saw Xie Buyou sitting on the ice bed with his head down in deep thought.

Mo Wanli was only surprised for a moment, then walked in, "Awake?"

"Yeah." Xie Buyu replied calmly and looked up at him, "Where are Tang Su and An Nian?"

Mo Wanli looked Xie Buyou up and down, and when he saw that Xie Buyou didn't seem to be feeling unwell, he said, "Tang Su comes to see you often, so she will probably be here soon."

"As for your new disciple, he couldn't be better. He has good talent, although he is a little bit inferior to you. Now that he has officially established his foundation, you can rest assured, right?"

Mo Wanli only found out later that Xie Buyou had accepted an apprentice, and it was too late when he found out. Xie Buyou was also very determined and insisted on accepting An Nian as his apprentice. Mo Wanli sensed something strange in that, but in the end he couldn't persuade Xie Buyou, so he gave up.

Almost, but he is very gifted. Xie Buyou is also a genius in cultivating immortals, but he is still young and has a lot of room for improvement. He needs more training to grow higher.

In the beginning, he actually accepted Xie Buyou because of his affinity with him. After bringing him back to the sect for testing, he realized that Xie Buyou's talent was immeasurable. How could he not cherish such a good seedling?

"I remember there will be a new recruit competition in two months?" Xie Buyu thought for a while and continued, "I want to let An Nian go, and then formally accept him as my apprentice."

An Nian has been staying on Xie Buyu's hilltop since he joined the sect. Even few disciples in the sect have seen him. Currently, only Tang Su, Mo Wanli and a few elders know that An Nian has been accepted as a disciple. He wants to take this opportunity to formally accept An Nian as his disciple.

Mo Wanli didn't say no, he just reminded Xie Buyou, "You have to think about it. It's only been three months since An Nian started practicing, and there are many people with higher cultivation than him in the new recruit competition. It's one thing that An Nian is talented, but it's a fact that he has only practiced for a short time. Don't let your little apprentice cry when he gets beaten up."

Xie Buyou: "He is not that fragile."

After experiencing the successive deaths of my father and mother, I think there are few things in the world that could be more painful than this.

Recruit new members and compete according to your ability.

"Xie Senior Brother, you're awake! The Sect Master is here too!"

A surprised voice was heard, and Xie Buyou and Mo Wanli looked towards the cave entrance at the same time, only to see Tang Su followed by An Nian walking in.

An Nian's voice was a little weak, "Master."

He looked at Mo Wanli again and said timidly, "Sect Master."

Senior Brother Tang told him that according to the generation division, he should call the Sect Master "Grandmaster", because his master was the Sect Master's disciple, and he was the Master's disciple, but the Sect Master did not seem to like him at all, so he did not dare to call him too intimately and could only call him the Sect Master.

Mo Wanli nodded indifferently, and then he had no intention of staying here for long. As for the matter of the recruitment competition, Xie Buyou would explain it to his apprentice himself.

He said to Xie Buyou, "I'll get busy now. If you have anything to say, you can talk to your little disciple yourself."

After saying this, he strode away without waiting for Xie Buyou's response.

Xie Buyou was speechless. When had he ever been busy? Aren't most of the sect's affairs handed over to the elders?

After Mo Wan left, Tang Su skipped over to Xie Buyu and asked, "Senior Brother Xie, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xie Buyou laughed. Why did everyone ask this question? Did he look weak? But since they were concerned about him, Xie Buyou patiently replied, "No, I'm fine, don't worry."

As he spoke, he looked at An Nian who had followed him and asked him, "The new recruit competition will be held in two months. Are you ready?"

An Nian was stunned, and instantly panicked. He waved his hands hastily, "I, I can't do this! I will embarrass my master..."

Xie Buyu rubbed his head with a chuckle, "I plan to let everyone know at the recruiting competition that I accepted a well-behaved disciple like you, so you should be mentally prepared and not be so nervous that you can't even speak."

An Nian's personality couldn't be described as introverted, but he wasn't very extroverted either, so Xie Buyo wasn't worried about anything. At most he would just kick anyone who laughed at An Nian.

"Really?!" An Nian's face suddenly turned red. He didn't expect that his master would actually plan to expose him so soon. He had always been thinking that this day would come, so he worked hard to cultivate himself so that he would not embarrass his master when he faced the public.

But this is too fast, he is just building the foundation...

He was even less qualified for competitions. He had heard from Senior Brother Tang about the last competition, where his master even won first place.

But if it were him, he would definitely fail...

His head was gently rubbed again, and a gentle voice sounded above his head, "Don't be nervous, just treat it as an ordinary competition. No matter what the ranking is, I will still accept you as my apprentice."

"Okay, I'll remember Master!"

After being comforted, An Nian was finally no longer nervous and even began to look forward to the recruiting competition.

Tang Su watched for a long time before looking away. He would never argue with a little brat about thanking his senior brother!

"Oh, by the way." Xie Buyu suddenly looked at Tang Su and said to him, "Thank you for taking care of Nian Nian while I was away. You have worked hard."

Tang Su's eyes became more wandering, but her earlobes turned pink.

I really want to hug Senior Brother Xie right now...but there is a junior brother who is several years younger than him next to him. As a senior brother, I must be reserved and set an example for my junior brothers.

So Tang Su coughed a few times and began to ask about Xie Nan, "Where is Junior Brother Xie? Isn't he coming back with you, Senior Brother Xie?"

Xie Buyou shook his head, "His situation is a bit special, it's inconvenient to explain, so I only brought Xiaobai with me."

It was obvious that Xie Buyou didn't want to talk too much about Xie Nan, so Tang Su didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said to An Nian, "Today's afternoon class is about herbal medicine. How do you think of the book I gave you?"

An Nian almost didn't react. He said weakly, "I haven't finished reading it..."

Tang Su's expression immediately turned serious. He grabbed An Nian by the back of his neck and dragged him out. "You can't leave before you finish reading. What if you accidentally eat an unfamiliar herb? Go back and continue reading now. I'll be watching you from the side."

The sound became quieter and quieter until the two people could no longer be seen. Xie Buyou then touched his abdomen.

That weird feeling has been there since I woke up, and this time I can't ignore it no matter what. What's wrong with him?

After putting aside the relaxed expression he put on when facing other people, Xie Buyou lay back on the ice bed, looking at the smooth mirror formed by the ice crystals, and looking at himself in the mirror, it seemed as if there was a faint black air lingering around him, which disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye...
