Chapter 47: The Frail Beauty Whose Life Was Extended by the Immortal Cultivator (2)
After carefully sending this delicate and lovely beauty back to her room and settling her down, Xiao Yuheng slowly walked to the table and stared at the bowl of medicine on the table for a long time, without moving.
The sunlight shone through the carved window lattices onto his face, casting patches of mottled shadows.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Xiao Yuheng, as if he had finally made up his mind, suddenly reached out and untied the warm and flawless jade pendant tied around his waist.
He raised his arm high and swung it without hesitation. In an instant, the exquisite jade pendant turned into countless pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Almost at the same moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in this quiet courtyard that had never allowed any outsiders to enter, and stood silently in front of Xiao Yuheng.
What was surprising was that the visitor had a handsome face exactly like Xiao Yuheng, but the temperaments they exuded were completely different.
If Xiao Yuheng was like a warm spring breeze blowing across the earth under the clear wind and bright moon, then the man in front of him was like a peerless sword that had just been unsheathed, emitting a chilling sharp aura.
Although he has a pair of affectionate eyes, his eyebrows are cold and ruthless, with a sharp sword intent.
This is a genius in the world of immortal cultivation that is rarely seen in a thousand years. He has reached the late Nascent Soul stage at such a young age. He is the number one of the younger generation in Wansheng Sect - Xiao Yuheng.
At this moment, Xiao Yuheng was facing his twin brother, who had the same father and mother as him and whom he had not seen for a long time.
However, his expression remained calm, as cold as a thousand-year-old ice. Even his tone was as icy as ice: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yuheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said, "It's been a long time since we last met, Ah Heng. I didn't expect that your sword intent has become even more fierce."
"I think Ah Heng must have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations over the years. He has actually reached the late Nascent Soul stage."
Facing his brother's praise, Xiao Yuheng's expression remained unchanged, his tone as cold as ever: "Brother, if you could stay in Wansheng Sect and cultivate peacefully over the years, with your aptitude, your achievements by now would surely not be inferior to mine."
Xiao Yuheng smiled upon hearing this. "I'm different from Ah Heng. Ah Heng was born with a sword bone and is a prodigy in swordsmanship. From birth, his understanding of swordsmanship takes others years or even decades to master."
"And I'm just an alchemist who can only make pills. Right now, I just want to stay in this mortal world, be with my wife, and take care of her health. That's enough. Attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven is not what I want."
Thinking of Qingwu, an indescribable soft light appeared on Xiao Yuheng's face, filled with endless affection and attachment.
Xiao Yuheng, who was standing aside, frowned slightly, and there was a deep doubt in his eyes.
A hundred years ago, the wife of the then head of Wansheng Sect gave birth to a pair of twins, a rare sight in the world.
This pair of brothers had amazing bones and extraordinary spiritual roots, and they shocked the entire world of immortal cultivation as soon as they were born.
The elder twin brother possesses an extremely special and rare spiritual wood physique, which enables him to establish an extremely close connection and affinity with all kinds of plants.
He could extremely keenly sense the growth conditions of the spiritual plants, including their subtle changes and the rich spiritual energy fluctuations they contained.
Because of this, he has demonstrated a unique advantage in the collection and cultivation of spiritual plant materials for alchemy.
Whether it is searching for those rare spiritual plants hidden deep in the mountains and valleys, or accelerating the growth rate of spiritual plants and improving their quality and spiritual energy content through unique methods, it can be done easily, thus continuously providing the best quality raw materials for alchemy.
Because of this, Xiao Yuheng became a rapidly progressing alchemy practitioner. Now, at only a hundred years old, he is already a Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, what is even more amazing is that his twin brother actually possesses a natural sword bone that is rarely seen in a thousand years!
He also lived up to expectations during his growth process.
Since he was young, his comprehension of swordsmanship has been extraordinary, far surpassing that of his peers.
The basic sword techniques that ordinary disciples may need to spend months or even years to master, but for him, it only takes a few days to master them.
Not only that, he can also incorporate his own unique insights and perceptions on this basis, thereby suddenly doubling the power of the originally ordinary sword moves.
As his cultivation level continued to improve, the advantages brought by the sword bone became more and more obvious.
His sword moves were as fast as lightning, and each sword move contained the force of breaking bamboo. The sharp edge of the sword seemed to be able to tear through the void and cut off all obstacles.
With the help of the sword bone, his swordsmanship is not only extremely powerful, but also has infinite variations. The enemy is often defeated by his sword moves before they can figure out his routine.
Back then, when he was still in the Jindan stage, he relied on his superb swordsmanship to defeat the powerful ancient monster - Yunjiao.
The Jiaoyun Sword he made became his natal sword, and it was easy for him to achieve the state of unity between man and sword.
Because of this pair of gifted twin brothers, the reputation of Wansheng Sect spread far and wide, the strength of the sect grew stronger, and its prosperity was booming.
The status of the number one sect in the world is as solid as a rock and cannot be shaken.
But one day, the older twin brother Xiao Yuheng suddenly disappeared.
The life lamp was still on, but there was no trace of him in the world of immortal cultivation.
At first, no one paid much attention to it.
After all, compared with his brother Xiao Yuheng, who is sharp-edged and like a walking killing weapon, Xiao Yuheng appears to be relatively low-key and introverted.
Despite this, Xiao Yuheng is still a leader among the younger generation in the world of immortal cultivation, especially in the practice of alchemy. He is one of the few cultivators who can successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of one hundred.
Legend has it that no one can cure his poison, and his medicine can cure all diseases. He is the person that many people both desire to get close to and make friends with, but also fear.
In the past, it was not uncommon for Xiao Yuheng to temporarily lose contact while traveling down the mountain to collect precious herbs.
Only this time, he was missing for significantly longer than usual.
Until one day - Xiao Yuheng's closest relatives suddenly sensed something, and the Sect Leader's wife could no longer suppress her inner anxiety and worry.
She immediately summoned Xiao Yuheng and ordered him to go and look for her missing brother.
