Chapter 367 Expand the story
All the craftsmen looked up to the sky and roared with joy, then looked at the rebirth spell that was gradually burning out, wiped their faces, and tears glistened in their eyes.
"It's done, it's done, little girl. You really have a bright future. Your technique of tempering the strange fire is not the most sophisticated I have ever seen, but it is the most spiritual and effective one I have ever seen."
Su Mu and Du Shao felt relieved. They looked at each other and smiled, then nodded in agreement.
After countless failures, the elixir was finally successfully refined. While dissolving the evil demon's body, it successfully preserved the three souls and seven spirits in the demon fetus, freeing those people.
The most crucial thing is Xia Tianwu's tempering. Without her, even if Lin Du brought back the pool of holy water, it would be useless.
Xia Tianwu just smiled at the compliments and said, "But without the precise dissection skills of the craftsmen and their knowledge of these rare herbs, and the help of Senior Su Daoyou Du in spiritual medicine, we would not be able to do this job."
"You disciples of the big sects, are you so intolerant of compliments?" All the craftsmen glanced at her. "Although young people should not be arrogant, they should not be too humble. Get rid of these empty words."
"Okay, okay, now that we've succeeded, are you going to hold a big meeting? I say okay, don't mention my name, and don't let me go. Just pretend that I didn't exist and didn't participate."
He turned and left, "I'll go sort out the herbs so that I can make a large batch later. I'll make a list for you."
Xia Tianwu's eyes flickered when he heard this. He turned around and smiled at Su Mu, thanked them sincerely, and then sent them to the villa arranged by Junding Mansion to rest.
When everything was settled, she turned around and saw the feast in the courtyard.
She was dressed in red, with a thin and tall figure, wrapped in the darkness of the night, like a decadent flower that grew out of the River Styx that was said to be able to dissolve human flesh, revealing a tenacious vitality that had struggled out of death.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, you haven't rested yet?"
Summer smiles lightly. She doesn’t smile often, but when she does, she looks really pretty, like a night-blooming cereus that suddenly blooms in the early morning, a moment that is also eternal.
"Yeah." Shengyan looked at her obviously in a very good mood and said, "Congratulations, have you developed a method to save the man-made evil demons?"
She knew that the Supreme Sect had not been deliberately avoiding her in many things these days.
Xia Tianwu nodded, "Thanks to the guidance of Quan Jiangren, we rarely touch upon the scope of his research. The main body of the plan, the medicinal materials, and the pathological structure were all researched by him."
She smiled and said, "It also made me realize that sometimes being too rigid is not a good thing."
"For us medical practitioners, it is best to save as many lives as possible without harming others."
Shengyan repeated what he said, "Are you really saving people?"
Xia Tianwu thought for a moment, "Quan Jiangren is unruly. It is said that he can replace hearts, even Dantian and heads. If he saves a life, another will die. But in fact, most of the bodies are unintelligent monsters or monster cultivators with high cultivation but doing evil."
"It cannot be said that his action is completely right. For us spiritual practitioners, all beings are equal, and human life is not higher than that of monsters. However, he is not as scary as imagined, so... he does not care about other people's lives in vain."
"But there is another problem in this regard. Although all craftsmen can control themselves from using other people's things, it does not mean that others and people who want to cure diseases will not do so. If they are desperate and try any possible means, they will definitely cause uncontrollable harm. This is why this method is an unorthodox one and not the right way."
Feast nodded, "You are right."
Xia Tianwu, or rather, everyone in the entire Supreme Sect had a very clear mind, and at first glance they were all righteous monks who had been well educated.
Although every time I meet them, their behavior is particularly eccentric, and they even look a little unlike righteous disciples, their ideas are pure and upright.
"But I guess you must have heard of his reputation beforehand. How could you have thought of cooperating with a cultivator who is considered evil in the eyes of the world? You were even criticized by outsiders because of this, and there are still criticisms to this day."
The feast is really curious. After all, even if the facts may not be as rumored, the result is certain.
Xia Tianwu shook his head, "Yes, we don't completely believe it either, so we won't cooperate unless necessary. If we do cooperate, we will keep him within a controllable range and never let any accidents happen."
"Then...what kind of person is he in your eyes?" Shengyan asked.
Xia Tianwu pondered for a moment, paused, and then said, "In terms of witchcraft, he is the pinnacle of this era. I didn't know it when I was young, but now he has a clear self-awareness and is very sober. He is afraid of affecting our reputation and insists on not letting us publicize his contribution to this matter."
"Merits are merits, faults are faults. I don't know his past, but now in my opinion, he has merits. It is said that a gentleman is judged by deeds, not by his heart. If you judge by deeds, then he must have faults."
She looked at the feast, "That's my answer."
Shengyan smiled and said, "Thank you."
Xia Tianwu's answer was actually what she wanted most.
Fair, objective, without any admonition or personal feelings.
"You people in the Supreme Sect are all really nice." Sheng Yan said sincerely.
Xia Tianwu's voice was gentle, "I am just answering my own thoughts. You are also a very good person. Some things are just a game between emotion and law."
"It's like something like witchcraft. Saving people is the original intention, but harming people is a byproduct."
"But my junior uncle once said that many times, things that cannot be controlled may seem good to outsiders, but in fact they are bad things for oneself. When a tragedy occurs, the world will only blame the individual, not the thing itself."
"That's probably why witch doctors are despised by the times."
She paused, "I don't know why I mentioned this, it just suddenly occurred to me."
Perhaps it was because she had finally accomplished something big with the strange fire today that she thought of these words.
In the past, even the master thought that the strange fire was so good, but the reason why it could not be controlled and caused the explosion was because she had not yet cultivated it well.
Even she suspected that it was her own fault, but only Lin Du said that it was a problem with the strange fire, not with the person.
Witch doctors were once very popular, but were eventually spurned by the times because of the endless bad things that could not be controlled by the witch doctors and went against their original intention.
"I think you're right." Shengyan laughed, "Now that I know my biological father isn't that bad, I don't have much to worry about anymore."
There is always resentment when you are young, but when you grow up, time finally makes you feel relieved. There are not so many knots in this world, and people should not be trapped by themselves.
They both looked up at the moon above their heads.
Today is a full moon.
Han Yueling lay on the roof, spreading herself out like a thin sheet of paper, absorbing the moonlight comfortably.
"Ah~The moon~so comfortable!"
On the other side, after receiving the news, Lin Du finally walked out of the study and came face to face with the resentful face of his master.
"You would rather stay in the library for seven days after you finish your work, and you don't even dare to come back to apologize to me. What can I do to you?"
Yan Ye's voice became louder, and Lin Du was startled by it.
"Is it possible?" Lin Du touched his ear. "I'm really busy. Please listen to my explanation."
Yan Ye stood there with a cold face, "I won't listen."
Lin Du crossed his arms and said, "I found a shocking secret. Do you want to hear it?"
Yan Ye coughed lightly and said, "Tell me more."
