Chapter 20 The Secret of Non-Toxic Medicine



When Yi Xichen saw Yao Budu coming back, he hurried to go out, but Yao Budu's strange appearance attracted his attention.

The medicine is not poisonous but it hurts.

His clothes were torn on his chest. Through the transparent spring, Yi Xichen couldn't tell whether the color was blood or something else. A bunch of his hair was also broken, and fell unevenly on his shoulders. He looked very panicked. After entering the pharmacy, he was still looking back, as if he was afraid that something was following him. But it should be that nothing was found, and Yao Budu looked relieved.

Afterwards, Yao Bu Du went into the house.

Tongtouquan can only see a corner of the medicine room, which Yao Budu uses to observe whether there are intruders sneaking into his medicine room when he is working in the medicine field. Once you enter the room, you can't see anything.

Yi Xichen quickly flew out of the medicine field with his sword.

"Master!" Yi Xichen rushed into the pharmacy and knocked on the door. "Master, open the door!"

Yao Bu Du came out of the house, looking angry: "What are you yelling about? Are you calling for my soul?"

He had changed into a new Taoist robe and had his hair tied up. If Yi Xichen had not seen Yao Budu's appearance when he returned from Tongtou Spring just now, he would never have noticed that he was any different from before.

Yi Xichen asked: "Master, are you injured?"

Yao Budu was shocked, his face immediately turned pale, and he angrily asked: "Yi Xichen, where are you from?!"

Yi Xichen was shocked by him. Although Yao Budu often lost his temper, this was the first time he was so furious. Yi Xichen murmured, "I, I came from the medicine field."

Yao Bu Du was stunned for a moment, then his expression relaxed: "You bastard, I thought you didn't behave honestly in the duel and sneaked out of the mountain."

"Out of the mountain?" Yi Xichen asked, "Master, you came out of the mountain? Who attacked you?"

"I went to the outer mountains to collect some herbs and encountered a monster." Yao Budu said, "What do you want from me?"

Yi Xichen didn't quite believe it: "What kind of monster? Hey! Master, why are you hitting me?"

"You ask so many questions and talk so much nonsense. I am the master and you are the master? Do I have to give an explanation to a little bastard like you for what I do?"

After ten years of apprenticeship, Yi Xichen knew when Yao Budu was really angry and when he was just threatening. It was obvious that Yao Budu was no longer angry, but Yao Budu was always very proud and would never talk about embarrassing things. He was probably embarrassed to complain to his apprentice after being wronged outside. Yi Xichen had no choice but to swallow the topic.

"Oh, right." Yao Bu Du said, "I have already repaired the black fire stone you brought last time and made something for you. It will probably be finished the day after tomorrow. Come to my place and get it after you finish your swordplay the day after tomorrow."

Yi Xichen was immediately filled with anticipation: "Master, what did you do?"

The medicine is not poisonous, but it keeps people in suspense: "You'll know when you get it."

Yi Xichen pouted and wanted to sneak into the house to take a look, but Yao Budu was guarding the door and wouldn't let him in: "Why don't you go and practice swordplay? You still have a competition tomorrow!"

Yi Xichen hesitated for a while, but Yao Budu was stern and impartial. He said that he would not be fooled by you and told you to get out of here right away. So he had to leave in shame.

When Yi Xichen arrived at the peach forest, he saw his eldest grandson, Jun, who had also returned from Qiu Jian's visit. He was sitting cross-legged under the peach tree, so he went over and sat down next to him.

"Hey, what does Qiu Jian want to do with you?"

"Want to take me as a disciple."

"What?" Yi Xichen was shocked. "He wants to take you to the Sword Refining Pavilion?"

In Tianjian Sect, it was rare for a disciple to change his/her pavilion. Once you entered the sect, you would be his disciple. It was rare for the eldest grandson Jun to be demoted from the Refining Sword Pavilion to the Medicine Pavilion for violating the sect rules. It was even more rare for a disciple to be poached back from the Refining Sword Pavilion.

"No. He wants to take me in as his inner disciple."

Yi Xichen was even more surprised. As an elder of a pavilion, all the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion were considered as Qiu Jian's disciples. Some real people would distinguish between inner and outer disciples when accepting disciples, but that was generally a personal decision of the cultivator, and had nothing to do with the sect. In the Heavenly Sword Sect, there was no distinction between inner and outer disciples. Qiu Jian's intention was to hope that he could accept his eldest grandson Jun as a disciple in his personal name, and it had nothing to do with the Sword Refining Pavilion or even the Heavenly Sword Sect. This move showed how much he valued his eldest grandson Jun.

"Then did you agree?"

"no."

"I don't think you will agree." Yi Xichen said, "But there's nothing wrong with agreeing. I really want to learn Qiu Jian's Shuying Sword Technique."

A cultivator can accept more than one disciple, and a disciple can also have more than one master. Even if the eldest grandson Jun worships Qiu Jian as his master, it does not mean that he has betrayed Yao Budu. Some cultivators feel that they can no longer help their disciples improve, and will encourage their disciples to learn from others. After all, it is a great honor for them to see their disciples have a promising future. As long as they do not commit the sin of betraying their master and ancestors, cultivators are not so petty about this.

The eldest grandson, Zijun, smiled and said, "I can teach you now."

"Ah?" Yi Xichen was surprised again, "You know Shuying Sword Technique?"

"I also know the Dragon Roar Sword Technique." - The Dragon Roar Sword Technique is the unique skill of Jade Ying Zhenren.

The eldest grandson Jun already has the ability to remember everything he sees, and the fan fiction author did not want to waste too much time on his growth process, so he had him accidentally break into the largest scripture library of Tianjianmen. The elders of Tianjianmen accidentally put all their lifelong learning in the scripture library, and all of these lifelong learning were accidentally read by the eldest grandson Jun.

Yi Xichen was immediately excited: "Come on, teach me."

The eldest grandson, Zijun, pondered for a moment and then began to recite the sword techniques.

The inside and outside are empty and solid, the hard and soft are balanced. The Yin and Yang are in a fractal form. The true essence and true energy are hazy and dark. The Kan and Li are reversed, and the five elements are in operation...

However, after just half an hour, Yi Xichen gave up in frustration.

Although he has a mutated spiritual root, the seal has not yet been lifted. With his current qualifications, it is too difficult for him to comprehend such a profound sword technique. Although he is also eager to find a solution, he is not old enough to leave the Heavenly Sword Sect easily. After this year, it will be time for the two of them to go out and train. Then they will go to find the Five Elements Heavenly Treasures, lift the seal, and continue to learn.

"Forget it." Yi Xichen sighed, "I'd better try my own unconventional method first... Hey? You..."

Yi Xichen was stunned in the middle of his words, because he found that his eldest grandson Zijun did not listen to him, but entered a state of mind while practicing sword skills. After a moment, Yi Xichen found that his eldest grandson Zijun suddenly realized!

The so-called sudden enlightenment is when a sword cultivator suddenly realizes the truth during his practice and enters a state. After each sudden enlightenment, his practice will be greatly improved, and his sword energy will reach a new height! For sword cultivators, the state of sudden enlightenment is hard to come by, and a sudden enlightenment can be equivalent to several years of hard practice. Many sword cultivators may not be able to enter a sudden enlightenment in their entire lives, and only the proud ones will often have sudden enlightenment.

Now, the setting of Chang Sunzi Jun has long been twisted into the setting of the fan world. Fan authors have given him many cheat codes, but they are just superficial and have never really helped him to achieve enlightenment. Now that Chang Sunzi Jun is in the normal world, he can truly use those things for his own benefit, so he immediately entered a state of enlightenment.

Yi Xichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You guys are really enviable."

After saying this, he sat down beside his eldest grandson, Jun, to protect him. It might take him several hours or even days to come out of the state of enlightenment, and during this period, he could not be disturbed.

Yi Xichen did his best to set up a barrier around him and entered into meditation with him.

The next day, the second fencing match began.

Compared to yesterday, because a round of wins and losses had already happened, the opponents in today's competition were more evenly matched, but most of the results were still within everyone's expectations.

Lu Ziyao won the first match, and the next to play were Xiao Kui and Bian Liang. Since the two were almost equally matched in strength, they fought from early morning to afternoon, and in the blink of an eye, four hours had passed, and they were still evenly matched.

The disciples watching the match outside the stadium have already started talking about it.

Yi Xichen said: "Xiao Kui is going to lose."

The eldest grandson, Jun, nodded in agreement.

It's not that they have a personal grudge against Xiao Kui and curse him to lose the game, but the natures of sword cultivators who focus on attack and sword cultivators who focus on defense are different. For the disciples of the Sword Refining Pavilion, the longer the time, the more disadvantageous it is for them, and the weaker the sword energy, while for the disciples of the Sword Guarding Pavilion, the length of time has no effect on them.

As expected, Xiao Kui summoned the Nine Lightning Swords, and nine sword energies rushed towards Bian Liang, each one weaker than the last.

"Huh?"

The disciples who were watching exclaimed in amazement.

Bian Liang had always been on the defensive, but when he saw Xiao Kui had reached his limit, he finally started to attack. Bian Liang used the Lingxiao Sword, and the dazzling sword shadow fell towards Xiao Kui and collided with his ninth sword. Bian Liang was full of confidence, because he knew Xiao Kui had no more strength left, and when the two sword energies collided, he would definitely win!

However, Xiao Kui's ninth sword of lightning suddenly became more powerful!

The sword energies collided, and Bian Liang, who underestimated his enemy, had no time to defend himself, and was hit by the lightning sword and flew backwards!

Bian Liang lost! Xiao Kui won!

No one expected that Xiao Kui would explode at the last moment. The result of this competition was unexpected, but reasonable, so it can be regarded as a very exciting competition.

The third round was between Yue Xiaorou and Wang Qingqiao, and the fourth round was between the eldest grandson Zijun and the grandfather Sun Di.

After winning the competition, Xiao Kui did not leave, but stayed around the practice field. Yue Xiaorou and Wang Qingqiao were competing on the stage, but his attention was not on the stage at all. He hid in the crowd, his eyes passed through the layers of people, and stayed on his eldest grandson Zijun who was waiting for the competition.

Xiao Kui hoped that Chang Sun Zi Jun would lose. He had already won today, and the next round of draw would match the five consecutive winners. If Chang Sun Zi Jun won again today, there was a high possibility that he would play against Chang Sun Zi Jun next time.

In fact, his strength has almost reached its limit. Even if he doesn't lose to his eldest grandson Jun in the next match, he will lose to someone else. But it doesn't matter who he loses to, he just doesn't want to lose to his eldest grandson Jun in front of everyone.

He still remembered that Chang Sun Zijun left the Sword Refining Pavilion and entered the Medicine Pavilion after being framed by him. Once, they met by chance in the Jinglou. He had something on his mind and didn't dare to face Chang Sun Zijun, fearing that Chang Sun Zijun would seek revenge on him. Unexpectedly, after the two met, Chang Sun Zijun didn't even look at him and passed by him indifferently.

He was competitive and what he hated most was being looked down upon. His eldest grandson, Zijun's arrogant attitude annoyed him. So he did not have the slightest chance of escaping the disaster, and he even turned around and took the initiative to provoke.

"Hey, isn't this a genius with natural spiritual roots? Look at the clothes he's wearing. Is he no longer practicing swordsmanship but refining pills?"

The eldest grandson Jun was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Xiao Kui was still pestering him recklessly: "Is the forbidden area in the back mountain interesting? I thought that a rare spiritual root could kill people everywhere, but why did I hear that you were carried out by someone in the end?"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, finally stopped. He looked into Xiao Kui's eyes coldly and said, "If it was you who entered the forbidden area instead of me, you would have been dead long ago."

His words were twisted into Xiao Kui's contempt for the weak. Xiao Kui sneered, "Even if you are stronger than me now, so what? I am not stupid enough to be easily tricked into the forbidden area!"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, suddenly drew his sword from its sheath. Xiao Kui was so frightened that he took several steps back and took a defensive stance. Although disciples in Tianjian Sect could learn from each other, fighting and hurting others was not allowed. That was why Xiao Kui dared to provoke fearlessly, relying on the fact that the eldest grandson, Zijun, did not dare to make a move - unless he no longer wanted to stay in Tianjian Sect.

Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson Jun drew his sword not to attack him, but swung his hand and cut a deep trench between the ground where the two of them were standing.

Xiao Kui was stunned. Marking out the boundary was a warning from his eldest grandson, Zijun, to him, to draw a clear line between them.

Zhang Sun Zijun had already put away his sword and walked away. Xiao Kui looked at his back and shouted unwillingly, "Zhang Sun Zijun! I wonder how long you can be so arrogant in the medicine pavilion! In the sword fighting competition ten years later, I will definitely defeat you with my own hands!"

Thinking of the past, Xiao Kui couldn't help but clench his fists. He thought that if he had rushed his eldest grandson Jun to the Medicine Pavilion, after ten years, even a natural spiritual root would have been delayed. Unexpectedly, not only was his eldest grandson Jun not delayed, but he was even further behind him!

He didn't want to lose to Changsunzi Jun! However, it wasn't that he didn't want to fight Changsunzi Jun. Just now everyone thought that he was deliberately holding back until the end, but that was not the case. It was the belief in victory that supported him at that moment. He didn't want to lose the game without even having the chance to fight Changsunzi Jun, so he suddenly exploded!

He wanted to fight but didn't want to lose, but he knew that he couldn't win no matter what. Even Xiao Kui couldn't understand his own feelings.

Xiao Kui stared at his eldest grandson Zijun with a complicated look. Suddenly, he felt that someone was looking at him from the side. He looked over and met Yi Xichen's eyes.

The look in Yi Xichen's eyes when he looked at him was filled with undisguised disgust and hostility.

Xiao Kui suddenly felt a little confused. He only cared about the strong, and looked down on those who were weaker than him. Therefore, he had been looking for trouble with Changsun Zijun for ten years. As for Yi Xichen, before he defeated Wang Qingqiao, Xiao Kui always regarded him as a follower of Changsun Zijun. He had never taken the initiative to cause trouble for Yi Xichen. If he did, it was because he was with Changsun Zijun. Moreover, Yi Xichen was so cunning that he suffered more at his hands.

But the strange thing is that his eldest grandson Jun, who should hate him, never has him in his eyes; Yi Xichen, who has never been hurt by him, smiles at everyone in the sect and is extremely hostile only when facing him.

Why on earth was this happening? Xiao Kui didn't understand at all. Yi Xichen's attitude towards him was just like two rivals in love who were extremely jealous of each other!
