Chapter 284: Madness All Around, Moon's Astonishment

Chapter 284: Madness All Around, Moon's Astonishment

Moon Zhangming opened his mouth, unsure of how to persuade them anymore.

Su Lingxiu, on the other hand, took out a pill and said, "Here, take this Resurrection Pill first. It will help heal your injuries significantly."

Zhangming's injuries were severe, but the collapse of his spiritual body and the loss of his origin were the most fundamental wounds.

If he didn't restore his spiritual body and origin, his strength would be greatly diminished even if his other wounds healed.

Since they were going to treat him, they might as well restore him to his peak condition.

After all, this was their first serious patient, and it was a perfect opportunity to showcase their skills as a dan (pill)

warrior and gain some experience. It would be a blow to their reputation as a dan warrior if they didn't cure him thoroughly.

"It's useless, I know the extent of my injuries," Zhangming said with a bitter smile as he shook his head.

However, he still consumed the Resurrection Pill.

"Alright, sit down, and let me figure out how to treat you," Lingxiu said excitedly.

At this moment, Xu Yan was also furious as he revealed how despicable the Qianwu Temple was, falsely accusing his master of stealing their sword techniques.

"This Qianwu Temple is asking for death!" Li Xuan exclaimed angrily upon hearing this.

"If they admire my sword techniques so much, then let them experience it firsthand. Let's see if they can withstand the might of my divine abilities and the true power of the Superalistic Spirit Sect."

Annoyed by their actions, Li Xuan prepared to make an example of the Qianwu Temple.

It would also be a good opportunity to test the depths of the Superalistic Spirit Sect's strength.

"I've decided. I'll use Qianwu Temple as a stepping stone. I will crush them underfoot as I ascend to the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm!" Xu Yan said coldly.

"Master, what do you think?" Xu Yan turned to his master for approval.

In his opinion, his master would not bother with such a trivial matter of destroying the Qianwu Temple. Besides, as his disciple, it was only fitting that he should be the one to take action.

"Hmm, fine. Consider it a test," Li Xuan nodded.

Since Xu Yan had such ambition, Li Xuan decided to temporarily suppress his own desire to suppress the Qianwu Temple.

Moreover, the true extent of the Superalistic Spirit Sect's strength was yet unknown. If he, the almighty being, couldn't destroy the Qianwu Temple with a single strike, it would damage his image as an invincible master.

His image as an unbeatable master would be somewhat affected if he couldn't make the Qianwu Temple vanish with a mere wave of his hand.

So, it was better to play it safe!

"That's good too. With a direction to channel his efforts, Xu Yan will surely progress faster in his martial arts and become stronger quickly!" Li Xuan thought to himself.

Destroying the Qianwu Temple was a minor matter; the important thing was for Xu Yan to become more powerful. The stronger Xu Yan became, the stronger he would also become.

Since Xu Yan had already chosen the Qianwu Temple as his stepping stone, he might as well leave it for his disciple to use for his training.

"Big brother Xu, if you've chosen the Qianwu Temple, which Superalistic Spirit Sect should I choose? There isn't one that has shown interest in my dao of the blade. It's a bit troublesome; they haven't offended me, so I feel a bit awkward about taking action against them," Meng Chong said, scratching his head in a somewhat dejected manner.

Zhangming: ...

Yue'er: ...

The grandfather and grandson were both stunned. Was the Superalistic Spirit Sect so insignificant in their eyes?

First, a stepping stone, and now a sparring partner for his disciples...

Everyone here was crazy!

Meng Chong turned to Zhangming and asked, "Which Superalistic Spirit Sect cultivates the dao of the blade? I feel that once I reveal my blade techniques, they will definitely target me as well, and then it will be easier to deal with them."

Zhangming swallowed his saliva and said, "When it comes to the dao of the blade, the Qianwu Temple is still the best!"

Meng Chong's eyes lit up as he heard this. "Big brother Xu, leave some of the Qianwu Temple for me too! I also want to use them to test my skills!"

"Good!" Xu Yan nodded in agreement.

In just a few words, the two brothers had divided up the Qianwu Temple to use as a stepping stone for their own cultivation, a path to the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm!

Zhangming was completely dumbfounded.

The mighty and revered Qianwu Temple of the Superalistic Spirit Sect was reduced to nothing but a stepping stone in the eyes of these two.

"It's heartening that you have such ambitions. Even if the Qianwu Temple is destroyed by you, I believe the old ancestors of the Qianwu Temple will feel honored to have been chosen as your sparring partners!" Li Xuan nodded in approval.

Now that they had arrived in the Spirit Realm, his disciples finally had clear goals to strive for. With goals came motivation, and with motivation, their martial arts would progress even faster.

This was a good thing!

How fortunate that the Qianwu Temple was eager to offer itself as a stepping stone! What a wonderful sect!

Zhangming didn't know what to say anymore, and he completely abandoned the idea of persuading them to flee.

The disciples were crazy, but the master was even crazier! Madness all around!

The Superalistic Spirit Sect, a proud and mighty sect, would consider it an honor to be destroyed by his disciples. Where else could one find such madness in this world? Nowhere!

Something was amiss!

Suddenly, Zhangming's expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Yue'er asked in surprise.

Zhangming turned to Lingxiu, his lips quivering as his pale face flushed. His voice trembled with excitement, "What is this Resurrection Pill? Why is it so effective? I feel like my injuries have healed by a tenth already!"

He had been so shocked by the madness unfolding before him that he had neglected his own injuries. Now that he snapped out of his astonishment, he was amazed to discover that his injuries had indeed healed by a significant margin.

Although his injuries were still severe and his spiritual body's origin had not been restored, he no longer felt like he only had a few years left to live.

"Grandfather, your injuries have improved?" Yue'er asked joyfully.

"Thank you, Xu Yan, and thank you, sister!" Yue'er exclaimed happily.

Lingxiu placed her hand on Zhangming's shoulder and said, "Sit down and don't get too excited. The Resurrection Pill is a pill that I refined. Even if a warrior is on their last breath, they can still recover, and their foundation can be repaired.

"However, your strength is relatively strong, and your injuries are severe. Your spiritual body's origin has been lost, so only one or two-tenths of your injuries have been healed.

"But don't worry, with my healing skills as the Dan Saint, Lingxiu, I guarantee that I can restore you to your peak condition!"

Zhangming was a bit confused and asked, "What is this pill? I've never heard of it before."

"Alright, don't ask so many questions. Healing your injuries is the priority now, so don't move," Lingxiu said, stopping Zhangming from asking further questions.

She began treating Zhangming with her golden needles, inserting them into his body. She also took out several spiritual herbs, pondered for a moment, and then formulated a pill recipe.

"Your injuries are quite severe, and your soul is weak. The spiritual herbs I'm using this time are quite precious. If it weren't for the fact that we raided the treasure vaults of the Yushen Sect and the Su family, I might not have been able to gather enough herbs to save you," Lingxiu explained as she manipulated the needles with her evergreen true yuan.

In an instant, Zhangming was astonished to discover a sense of vitality emerging within him.

A cycle formed around his body, and the places where the needles were inserted vibrated slightly, as if following some mysterious rhythm, creating a profound resonance within his body.

In that moment, he felt much more energized than before.

As Lingxiu spoke, she summoned her dan flame and began refining the pill.

Her skill in the art of pill refining in the void had reached a level of near-perfection.

This method of pill refining left Zhangming even more astonished. He had never heard of such a technique before.

Yue'er, too, was amazed, her small mouth hanging open as she watched in shock.

Ever since they had entered this estate, everything seemed to be extraordinary.

"No need, I have enough spirit herbs. Consider this my reward for your timely information," Su Lingxiu shook her head.

The pill was successfully refined.

"Here, take the pill!"

"Okay, okay!"

Moon Zhangming was thrilled. He had thought that he didn't have long to live, and that his granddaughter would be left all alone, consumed by the bitter desire for revenge.

Now, he saw a glimmer of hope, a light shining through the darkness.

He swallowed the pill in one go, and a warm current flowed from his dantian, circulating throughout his body and into his soul, nourishing it. His originally weak and despondent state began to recover.

Su Lingxiu waved her hand, and the golden needles flew back to her, "You can recover from your injuries now. Although I can't restore you to your peak condition, at least your cultivation won't deteriorate further."

"Thank you, young miss. I am forever grateful!" Moon Zhangming bowed respectfully.

Yue'er was also excited and thrilled. "Thank you, Xu Yan, and thank you, sister!"

Su Lingxiu gave Yue'er a curious look. Why did she always mention her senior brother first whenever she expressed gratitude? It was she who saved them!

"It must be because of Senior Brother Xu that she came to our aid," Su Lingxiu thought to herself, acknowledging that the gratitude was indeed warranted.

"There's an empty room over there. Go and rest," Su Lingxiu pointed inside the house.

"Okay, thank you, sister!" Yue'er helped Moon Zhangming to the room to rest.

"Master, it's going to be challenging to restore his spiritual body. I checked, but I don't have the necessary spirit herbs to refine a recovery pill," Su Lingxiu said with a worried expression.

Moon Zhangming's spiritual body had collapsed, and his origin was lost, leaving him almost completely depleted. It would be extremely difficult to restore him.

One could even say that there was almost no possibility of recovery.

Of course, if there were suitable spirit herbs, and a suitable pill formula was devised, it would be possible to activate his dried-up spiritual body and make up for the lost origin.

"It doesn't have to be spirit herbs. A portion of the spiritual body's essence blood can be used as a substitute," Li Xuan spoke up.

Su Lingxiu's eyes lit up, "Is she a spiritual body?"

Li Xuan nodded.

Su Lingxiu then curiously asked, "Master, am I also a spiritual body?"

Li Xuan nodded again.

Xu Yan also stepped closer, curious about his own body. He had undergone transformations with each breakthrough, but he wasn't sure if he belonged to the category of spiritual bodies.

Special methods were required to detect spiritual bodies.

However, due to Su Lingxiu's affinity as a dan warrior, she could sense the uniqueness of their physiques through contact, even though she lacked the knowledge to identify them as treasure bodies or spiritual bodies.

Li Xuan, with his understanding of unique physiques, especially the transformations his disciples underwent, could easily distinguish between treasure bodies and spiritual bodies.

"Master, am I a spiritual body?" Xu Yan asked curiously.

"Yes and no," Li Xuan smiled at his disciple's confusion. "Whether it's a treasure body or a spiritual body, it's just a type of innate talent, giving you a head start compared to ordinary people.

"However, the path of martial arts is long and arduous, and reaching the pinnacle depends not only on one's physique. Insight, perseverance, and opportunity are all essential.

"Even an ordinary physique can advance step by step, breaking through and transforming with each realm, surpassing so-called treasure bodies and spiritual bodies. Therefore, don't be fixated on these labels.

"Understand yourself, surpass yourself, transform yourself—the path of martial arts is endless, and the key lies in striving for the peak!"

Xu Yan listened intently and soon understood. Although his master didn't explicitly say it, Xu Yan realized that he didn't possess a treasure body or a spiritual body when he embarked on his martial arts journey.

However, he was not only stronger than a spiritual body now but also surpassed them!

Thus, treasure bodies and spiritual bodies were just one aspect of martial arts talent, and one couldn't rely solely on them to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

"I understand, Master!" Xu Yan nodded solemnly.

"I shall continue my cultivation!"

The obstacle of the Qianwu Temple was too formidable for their current strength, so he needed to cultivate diligently and break through as soon as possible!

Meng Chong shared the same sentiment, and with a clear goal in mind, his cultivation progressed with renewed vigor and determination.

Yue'er emerged from the room and expressed her gratitude to Li Xuan, Xu Yan, and Su Lingxiu. She also watched with curiosity as Su Lingxiu refined pills.

"Meow!"

Chiji, the little tiger, trotted over and rubbed against Su Lingxiu's legs, looking adorable.

"Chiji, you've gotten chubbier!" Su Lingxiu ruffled the little tiger's head affectionately.

"Meow!"

Chiji indicated that although he had gained some weight, his fluffiness made him even more huggable!

"Here, eat this, but be mindful and don't eat too much. Although we have plenty of spirit herbs now, they won't last forever!" Su Lingxiu handed some pills to Chiji.

This included the waste pills from her pill refining.

Even with her exquisite pill-refining skills, there were still failed attempts when creating new, high-grade pills. However, none of them went to waste as Chiji happily devoured them all.

Chiji was not picky and had gotten used to the taste of the waste pills, considering them a tasty treat.

"Meow!"

Chiji was thrilled, but what did it matter if the spirit herbs ran out?

They could always raid another spirit sect!

"Is that a cat?" Yue'er asked curiously, her eyes wide. No matter how she looked at it, this chubby cat resembled a fierce tiger, yet its size was unmistakably feline, and it meowed like a cat.

She reached out to pet it, but Chiji, in a display of feline arrogance, flicked its tail, smacking Yue'er's hand.

Her tender, pale hand turned red from the impact, and Yue'er was taken aback by the little tiger's strength.

"It used to be a Red-eyed Tiger, but it seems to have gotten used to being a cat," Su Lingxiu explained.

Yue'er was perplexed. So, it used to be a tiger but now preferred to be a cat?

What did that mean? Chiji strutted away, deigning not to be touched by strangers!

...

At the border between Luo State and Yu State, several disheveled figures fled frantically.

They were the God Refining warriors of the Myriad Ages Alliance from Luo State who had barely escaped with their lives.

"Hurry, notify the Yu State Alliance and hide!

The injured warriors shouted as they ran towards a stronghold of the Myriad Ages Alliance in Yu State.

"Who's there?"

A cold voice rang out, and the left protector of the Yu State Alliance leaped into the air.

He was on high alert, as the arrival of multiple God Refining warriors could indicate that the spiritual sects of Yu State were about to make a move.

"Quick, notify our allies, hide, and don't reveal yourselves! A peak expert from the Qianwu Temple has appeared!"

One of the injured God Refining warriors from Luo State shouted anxiously.

"What?!"

The left protector was shocked to his core.

A peak expert from the Qianwu Temple had shown up?

"What happened to the Luo State Alliance?"

Seeing their desperate state, he had a bad feeling.

"The Luo State Alliance... is almost annihilated. The Alliance Master and the others have fallen!"

The God Refining warrior from Luo State replied sorrowfully.

"Quick, come with me, and we'll tend to your injuries," the left protector said as he led them to a secret location.

At the same time, he sent a message to Yu Gong using a signal talisman, informing him about the near-total destruction of the Luo State Alliance and the appearance of a peak expert from the Qianwu Temple.

At that moment, at the border between Luo State and Yu State, a figure strode forward, causing the winds and clouds to stir. Wherever he went, his might shook the four directions, an indication of a peak expert's arrival.
