Chapter 307: The Great Divine Art of Obscuration, Encountering a Master

"Is this enough to cure him?"

The burly man asked, his face filled with disbelief. Could a single pill be enough to heal someone who had been crippled? Despite his doubts, he fed the pill to the young boy.

After a few breaths, the boy's vital signs stabilized, and a healthy flush returned to his pale face.

"Father, I feel like I'm recovering!" The boy exclaimed as he opened his eyes, filled with excitement.

"Really? That's wonderful! Thank goodness!" The burly man was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Divine Healer, for saving my son's life. May I ask for your esteemed name? I will definitely repay this debt of gratitude!"

Zhu Xingzheng interjected, "This is Dan Yi Xianzi, Su Lingxiu!"

"Dan Yi Xianzi?" The man mumbled to himself before expressing his gratitude once more and carrying the boy away on his back.

"Su girl, Lingzong probably sent them. It seems like Lingzong has taken an interest in the Evergreen Pavilion. But don't worry, as long as I, Zhu Xingzheng, am here, I won't let Lingzong's brats cause any trouble!" Zhu Xingzheng boasted, pounding his chest.

"If those Lingzong folks dare to make a fuss, don't blame me. It's been a long time since I buried anyone, and my burial techniques might be a bit rusty!" Su Lingxiu replied with a cold laugh.

Who did they think she was? A pushover who would cower at the first sign of aggression?

In the following days, several badly injured warriors arrived. Most of them had their foundations destroyed, which was considered irreparable in the Spirit Realm, effectively rendering them crippled.

The injured warriors' cultivation levels varied from Master to Grand Master, Lesser Celestial Being, Greater Celestial Being, and the strongest among them, an early-stage Refined Godly Celestial Being.

It was clear that Lingzong was testing them, but this was all within their expectations.

Ever since the establishment of the Evergreen Pavilion, they had anticipated such moves, and Su Lingxiu didn't mind as long as they paid the consultation fees.

In fact, she didn't even bother treating them herself; instead, Yue'er directly administered the spirit pills to heal them.

"Lingzong sure is wealthy!" Yue'er remarked as she looked at the several high-grade spirit pills that had been used.

"Let's increase the consultation fees for Lingzong members. The stronger their cultivation, the higher the fee. If they're unhappy, they can leave. We don't need to cater to them; we can just treat them according to our mood." Su Lingxiu said excitedly.

She didn't mind treating injured Lingzong warriors, but the consultation fees needed adjustment. This way, they could obtain more resources from Lingzong.

Li Xuan paid even less attention to Lingzong's probing. His confidence came from his Great Divine Art cultivation.

During these days, feedback from Meng Chong and Xu Yan would occasionally arrive, often in batches. However, news about the two of them didn't come as quickly.

After all, the spread of information took time, especially since Xu Yan and Meng Chong had already left Luozhou.

"Your disciple, Xu Yan, defeated five of Lingzong's prideful geniuses single-handedly. You have obtained the ninth style of the Obscuration technique."

The feedback from the Great Dao Golden Book came once more.

Now, Shen Yin had all nine styles.

"With the nine styles of Shen Yin combined, you have obtained the Great Divine Art of Shen Yin."

Great Divine Art!

Li Xuan's heart raced with excitement. The power of Shen Yin was undeniable, and now that it had been combined into a Great Divine Art, its might was no weaker than his existing divine arts.

If he used Shen Yin in conjunction with Modeling Heaven and Earth, the resulting power was simply unimaginable.

His strength had increased yet again.

"Xu Yan has fought quite a few battles and should have accumulated enough to break through to the Divine Origin Realm soon, right?"

Li Xuan's face was filled with anticipation.

"Meng Chong should also be close to perfecting the first layer of the Immortal Golden Body."

Meng Chong, a master of physical martial arts, had made significant progress toward the Immortal Golden Body during these battles.

Su Lingxiu was also just half a step away from perfecting the Divine Will Realm.

Therefore, Meng Chong's breakthrough was also imminent.

A few days later, feedback from the Great Dao Golden Book arrived.

"Your disciple, Meng Chong, has perfected the first layer of the Great Day Immortal Golden Body. You have achieved a major accomplishment in the second layer of the Immortal Golden Body."

Li Xuan felt relieved and looked forward to Meng Chong comprehending the third layer of the Immortal Golden Body. With his physical martial arts breaking through to the Great Divine Art and the ability to create divine arts, Li Xuan eagerly anticipated the divine art that would come from his physical martial arts.

"That Su Lingxiu girl should be close to comprehending the Great Divine Art of the Pills and Medicine Martial Arts, right?"

Li Xuan glanced at Su Lingxiu, his eyes filled with anticipation.

If all three martial arts broke through to the Great Divine Art realm, their combined strength would be unimaginable.

Of course, the Qimen Martial Arts were still a bit behind, but that was to be expected as they were unique compared to the other three martial arts.

"Fang Hao is also making progress, though a bit slower. He has comprehended quite a bit of the Qimen Martial Arts."

Li Xuan continued to study the ninth page of the Great Blue Book while pondering the path of physical martial arts beyond the Great Divine Art.

"I also have a rough idea about that. It's not a big problem to compile it. It's just a matter of corresponding to the Divine Image and Void Breaking. Physical martial arts have their unique aspects, but the realms are similar."

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, and he now had some thoughts about the path of physical martial arts beyond the Great Divine Art. He would take his time to compile it properly.

Su Lingxiu was delighted. The more powerful the individual, the more serious their injuries, and she could gain more by treating them.

In just a few hours, Su Lingxiu had healed the wounded, although their bodies were still weak and they needed further rest to recover fully.

During their convalescence, ingesting medicinal pills would speed up their healing, and these pills required money to purchase.

Everlasting Alliance's warriors had paid a hefty sum for their treatment, and the fees included not only high-grade spirit pills but also some rare materials.

The warriors from the Everlasting Alliance provided the spirit pills needed for their recovery themselves, which brought Su Lingxiu even greater joy. She offered them a 20% discount on future treatments!

The strong warriors from the Everlasting Alliance were all shocked. Was there really such an incredible healing technique in the world? They even wanted to recruit Su Lingxiu to join their alliance, but she refused.

After their wounds were healed, the warriors from the Everlasting Alliance set off to return to their headquarters to continue their recovery.

Before leaving, they purchased healing pills in large quantities.

"Cai Gongzi, aren't you coming back with us?"

Jiao Li looked at Cai Ling'er in surprise.

"I'm not going back. I want to stay here and repay Sister Su Lingxiu for healing my injuries."

Cai Ling'er said insincerely.

"Alright then."

Jiao Li nodded helplessly. Cai Ling'er and the other powerful Sea Spirit Tribe members had been invited to help, and they did not take orders from the Everlasting Alliance.

If Cai Ling'er wanted to stay, he couldn't force her to return to headquarters.

Moreover, it was a good thing for Cai Ling'er to stay, as it would help foster a better relationship with Su Lingxiu.

While the warriors from the Everlasting Alliance left, Zhu Xingzheng stayed behind, shamelessly claiming that the Evergreen Pavilion lacked manpower and that he wanted to help.

Cai Ling'er had a feeling that her opportunity lay here.

"Senior, this is a specialty of my Sea Spirit Tribe, the Bihuilingzhu Tea becomes Evergreen Spirit Tea. Please have a taste."

Cai Ling'er's face was filled with reverence as she served a pot of tea to Li Xuan, respectfully addressing him as "Senior."

"Hmm!"

Li Xuan nodded. He took a sip from the teacup, and his eyes lit up slightly. This Evergreen Spirit Tea was quite good, with a better taste and more spiritual essence than the spirit tea he usually drank.

"Not bad!"

He nodded in appreciation.

Cai Ling'er was delighted to hear this, and she replied, "I'm glad you like it, Senior!"

From that day on, Cai Ling'er became more attentive to Li Xuan, acting like a devoted maid.

Li Xuan didn't mind her behavior; after all, it was pleasant to have a beautiful woman serving him so diligently.

Fang Hao arrived.

"Master, Sister Su!"

Accompanying him was Yue Changming.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Yue Changming bowed respectfully.

"Hmm!"

Li Xuan nodded and glanced at Yue Changming, marveling at the progress he had made. With Li Xuan's guidance and the gift of several rule patterns, Yue Changming's strength had skyrocketed after cultivating and comprehending them during this period.

Yue Changming could now condense a strand of the aura of the heavenly dao into his body.

This was the aura of the heavenly dao, not the heavenly spirit, and it was a further step in cultivation after refining the heavenly spirit.

This advancement placed Yue Changming at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm, a level higher than before.

He was now much stronger than Jiao Li and Cai Ling'er.

"Grandpa!"

Yue'er ran over excitedly when she saw her grandfather.

Cai Ling'er's heart trembled. Yue Changming gave off the impression of being incredibly powerful, similar to the warriors from the Everlasting Alliance.

He was a true pinnacle warrior! And such a powerful figure was respectful toward Su Lingxiu's master, indicating that this senior's strength was absolutely astonishing and unprecedented!

She knew she had made the right choice!

Fang Hao's visit was related to his upcoming journey to the headquarters of the Everlasting Alliance. He intended to compete with the alliance's geniuses, as well as those from the Spirit Sect, and to prepare for his future ascension to the position of leading the entire alliance.

The Everlasting Alliance would undergo a significant transformation due to his arrival, especially in terms of information and intelligence transmission, where they would surpass the Spirit Sect.

After catching up, Li Xuan called Fang Hao over and instructed him on the direction of his future cultivation in the Qimen Martial Arts, as well as the most important matter—his ideas about refining flying boats.

Fang Hao was thrilled to hear this.

However, he paused for a moment and said, "Master, refining a flying boat shouldn't be difficult, but flying it will consume a significant amount of energy, and it might not be as effortless as a warrior's flight or riding a spirit beast.

Li Xuan gave Fang Hao an exasperated look. His disciple's imagination wasn't very good; how could they refine a flying boat and still rely on consuming their own spiritual energy to propel it?

"Spirit crystals!"

Li Xuan sighed.

Fang Hao was stunned for a moment, as if a window of insight had suddenly opened in his mind. He then lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I've been foolish!"

"The essence of the Qimen Martial Arts lies in daring to innovate and think outside the box. Remember this!"

Li Xuan instructed solemnly.

"Indeed, your previous creations for Shen Haizhou were already imaginative. Don't let your cultivation of the Qimen Martial Arts restrict your creativity now."

Li Xuan continued to impart his wisdom.

"Yes, Master!"

Fang Hao replied reverently.

"Alright, go ahead and start refining."

Li Xuan nodded.

Of course, the arduous task of refining the flying boat would be left to his disciple. After all, what was the point of having a disciple if not to have them serve their master?

Due to the task of refining the flying boat, Fang Hao had to postpone his trip to the main headquarters of the Everlasting Alliance and stayed back at the manor to focus on this endeavor.

First, he had to conceptualize the shape and functions of the flying boat.

Upon hearing this, Su Lingxiu became excited and eagerly offered her suggestions from the sidelines.

"Junior Brother, I am destined to travel far and wide to practice medicine. With a flying boat, it will be so much more convenient. We can turn the Evergreen Pavilion into a mobile estate—a flying vessel that can also transform into a beautiful manor when it lands.

"Think carefully about how we can make this happen."

After hearing Su Lingxiu's words, Fang Hao realized that refining the flying boat would not be an easy task, and he would need to plan carefully.

Of course, if he succeeded, it would be a tremendous achievement for him.

"Master's flying boat should not be simple, and the materials used must be of the highest quality."

Fang Hao had a clear idea in mind.

Thus, he threw himself wholeheartedly into the grand project of refining the flying boat.

Yue Changming also took this opportunity to seek guidance from Li Xuan on the Heavenly Dao's laws. He felt that his understanding of these laws was still lacking.

The profundity of the Heavenly Dao's laws was not something that could be easily comprehended. Yue Changming couldn't help but marvel at how a single kind thought of wanting to inform Xu Yan to flee and escape had led him to encounter a great master and gain such a fortuitous opportunity.

Cai Ling'er was in the midst of serving tea to Li Xuan when she heard Yue Changming's request to learn about the Heavenly Dao's laws. She was stunned and wondered if she should leave, but seeing that Li Xuan didn't seem to mind her presence, she hesitated, then decided to stay and continue serving tea quietly.

Li Xuan paid no mind to her presence as he casually lectured on the Heavenly Dao's laws. Whether Cai Ling'er could understand and gain any insights was entirely up to her own talent.

After all, encountering a master often came with fortuitous opportunities.

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Xuan drew a ripple in the air. It appeared to be a simple line, but it seemed to contain some profound truth of the heavens and the earth.

"For you, it's sufficient to focus on comprehending one Heavenly Dao law at a time. Once you've enlightened one law, move on to the next.

"Each Heavenly Dao law has its mysteries, and each person's understanding of it may differ.

"The operation of the laws, the rules of the heavens and the earth, each law has its own set of rules. These rules are constant but not unchanging. Even the changes occur within the boundaries of these rules.

"If you can understand the rules of a law, you will grasp its variations. Start by contemplating one variation, and once you've enlightened it, move on to the next. In this way, you will naturally understand the rules of a Heavenly Dao law."

The Heavenly Dao law that Li Xuan had drawn in front of him was one of the several law patterns that Yue Changming had received from him.

Li Xuan was confident that throughout the Spirit Realm, perhaps even the entire Taicang, no one understood the Heavenly Dao's laws better than he did.

Yue Changming listened reverently, gaining new insights. As he observed the Heavenly Dao law, his heart raced with excitement. Indeed, Li Xuan was a transcendent master.

Just a few offhand remarks from Li Xuan had opened his mind and pointed him in the right direction for comprehending the Heavenly Dao's laws.

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance!"

Yue Changming respectfully bowed and took his leave to find a place to meditate on what he had learned.

Cai Ling'er was left stunned and amazed. How powerful must one be to casually draw out the Heavenly Dao's laws like that?

"Is comprehending the Heavenly Dao's laws really that simple?"

Cai Ling'er's heart was filled with excitement and elation. She knew that her decision to stay had been a wise one, and she had indeed gained a great opportunity.

Truly, she had encountered an incredible master!

With another casual wave of his hand, Li Xuan made the depiction of the Heavenly Dao law disappear, then picked up his tea cup and sipped silently.

Whether Cai Ling'er could grasp the opportunity and gain insights was up to her own talent. He had provided the opportunity; it was up to her to make the most of it.

Cai Ling'er bowed and then went off to find a place to meditate, just like Yue Changming.
