70 Xuan Yin (1/2)
After many days.
Fang Yuan was seated on an emerald rock and was frowning, as though he had doubts.
”After the 9th Gate, the next step is to harness the Yin to break the Yang Gate. But in order to fuse the Yin and Yang to form the elemental force while breaking through the Gate, I will need some help...”
Although Fang Yuan had the spiritual knight's Blood Magic Technique, it was ultimately different from true martial arts.
The highest Gate he could attain through the Eagle Claw Iron Skin Technique was the 12th Gate. There was no chance of him breaking through Wu Zong, and realizing the true elemental force.
The only chance Fang Yuan had was through the Spirit Returning Heart Manual, which was incomplete. He felt that it was such a pity.
”The Spirit Returning Heart Manual is passed down by word, so must I really kidnap a Spirit Returning Sect disciple or elder to question him?”
He had a wild thought but dismissed it quickly.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
At this moment, there was a strong gust of wind as the Iron-tailed Black Eagle landed on the ground, chirping at Fang Yuan.
”Oh? Is someone arriving?”
Fang Yuan waved and sat down.
”Gong Gong!”
”Clang Clang!”
The sound of deafening gongs was heard from a distance and it drew nearer and nearer to the secluded valley.
”Another one who is giving me more experience...!”
Fang Yuan took a quick glance at his experience bar, and [Medicine] was filled up to a large extent and was almost equal to that of [Botany]. He laughed, stood up and walked out of the valley.
”Someone from the Spirit Returning Sect?”
In the pavilion, a crowd was waiting patiently and followed the rules. The one in front was his acquaintance, Lu Zhisen.
”The doctor has arrived!”
The usually rash Lu Zhisen became excited and greeted Fang Yuan the moment he saw him.
”Oh, it's Elder Lu. Who's injured this time?”
Fang Yuan was direct, but none of the Spirit Returning Sect's disciples took it to heart. After all, a doctor who could make miracles would be rather different from other normal doctors.
”Cough cough... it's me!”
The disciples made way and revealed an Elder Han in a wheelchair.
”I am injured and cannot properly offer you a greeting, please don't take it to heart!”
Elder Han clenched his fist and greeted Fang Yuan. He appeared humble, which surprised Elder Lu and the other sect disciples.
Lin Leiyue was not here. When they returned to Qingye City, she immediately returned to her home. Even though she made the excuse up, it was clear why she didn't come along with the rest.
”A doctor should have care like parents, why would I blame you!”
Fang Yuan intentionally deepened his voice and noticed Elder Han twitched his eyebrows as he laughed. It seemed that he agreed with Fang Yuan, but deep down knew that he was scheming and might not be that easy to deal with.
”Please!”
After he brought the patient into the Straw Pavilion, he felt his pulse. ”Elder Han had sustained an internal injury for quite a while now, this is hard...”
At the same time, he felt emotional, for he had seen every elder, including the Sect Master of the Spirit Returning Sect.
”Doctor, you are indeed impressive. This injury was from the Five Ghosts Sect assistant Sect Master! Cough Cough...”
Elder Han explained, and Lu Zhisen revealed a delicate box.
”I've heard of your rule, and have no intention of breaking it. I present to you the Xuan Yin Heart Technique Manual, and hope you will accept it...”
Elder Han continued. ”This heart manual came from the Five Ghosts Sect and can be cultivated up till the realm of Wu Zong without any problem. Furthermore, this is a complete copy of the manual. I've heard that you rendered assistance to Lin Leiyue at Shaoyang City, and I shall thank you for that. Please accept this manual as a form of my gratitude... Regardless if I will recover in the future, I shall send more gifts, which will surely satisfy you!”
”Xuan Yin Heart Technique? The Five Ghost Sect's true magical technique?”
Fang Yuan was surprised and received the box. As he opened it, he saw a black scroll within, filled with tiny words describing the 12 Golden Gates as well as Wu Zong. Based on his current experience he could only understand the first few lines and knew that this was the real deal.
”This present... is worth too much!”
He closed the wooden box and had a serious tone. ”Elder Han, are you sure you are willing to give this technique manual to me? Won't there be implications? Furthermore, I know that any manual with the sect's special technique that is able to break through to Wu Zong would surely be incomplete, and had to be filled up by the word of mouth and cannot be written down, am I right?
What was a sect's special technique?
This meant that if Fang Yuan was willing, he could base solely on this technique to start his own sect!
This kind of sect foundation was akin to a magical weapon, so how could one give it up so easily?
”Doctor Fang is indeed wise!”
Hearing how Fang Yuan understood the crux, Elder Han's eyes glittered. ”This technique was stolen by myself, and since the Five Ghost Sect is almost destroyed now, you can accept this gift without any worry for no one will find trouble with you... And as for the incomplete manual, I have already filled it up personally, and you can try it out to see for yourself, it would be fine...”
”Filled up?”
Fang Yuan frowned.
”That's right... I only had to capture a few disciples of the Five Ghosts Sect to obtain the remaining information, nothing too difficult...”
