Volume 2: Yunzhou Wood House Chapter 5: Movement and Stillness, Healing Injuries

  Bishui Zong

  The True Person of the Sect returned from attending the Condensing Elixir Grand Ritual in Luoyun Valley and then went into seclusion for half a month. Today, he suddenly emerged from his retreat, gathered all his disciples, and began to lecture on the platform. Whatever difficulties they encountered in their cultivation could be presented to him for clarification.

  The front square of the Zongmen Temple, Fengyin Dao people sat cross-legged on the platform, at this moment is detailing a disciple under the door to put forward the confusion.

  "Jinshui Sword Manual" is a mid-grade Xuan-level product, with both water and gold systems. When cultivating, one must have the idea of water and gold in mind, softness within firmness, and gentleness within strength. It's not possible to cultivate solely through brute force, but during breakthroughs, one must also advance boldly. Only by combining hardness and softness can one achieve twice the result with half the effort, doubling the speed of cultivation.

  The sound of the wind died down, and he saw that all his disciples had a look of gain on their faces, some more, some less. He couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. But at this moment, his face suddenly changed, his eyes hidden with a hint of horror, staring fixedly at the southeastern horizon.

  Two dazzling rays of light shot through the clouds, and the overwhelming pressure, even hundreds of meters away, still made people breathe uneasily, their faces turned pale in an instant, and their eyes were filled with a shocked expression.

  Fortunately, this light did not stop at all and directly whizzed over the Bi Shui Sect, heading northwest.

  It wasn't until the two teams of light had disappeared into the distance that Feng Yin's tense expression finally eased slightly, his brow furrowed in concern as he muttered to himself, "Qingyunzi and Yaodaozi, with these two old monsters radiating such a fierce and murderous aura, what exactly happened? Is there still someone in Beihua State who dares to provoke them?"

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  The thought had barely stopped, when a dense burst of sonic booms erupted one after another, growing more and more intense until they merged into a single, unbroken sound. Feng Yin's head jerked up in shock, and he saw that the sky above was filled with hundreds of gleaming lights, a kaleidoscope of colors, but his heart felt no sense of wonder or appreciation. His lips trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were instantly filled with horror as he watched the hundreds of murderous auras soar away.

  "The sky of Beihua State is going to change." Feng Yin's face turned pale, and he looked down at the confused disciple with a sigh. He waved his hand and said, "All of you retreat, from today on, no disciples of Bishui Sect are allowed to step out of the mountain gate, otherwise, severe punishment will be given!"

  In the northern mountains, a small group of elders was leading several talented disciples to train. Watching his disciples fight against a first-class demon wolf with all their might, he showed a few hints of satisfaction in his eyes. From time to time, he whispered to the young men and women beside him who were looking at him with reverence: "Pay attention to Brother Feng's movements! As cultivators, strength is important, but combat experience is also indispensable! I remember when I was still a Qi-refining period cultivator, I coincidentally saw a loose cultivator in the foundation-building stage defeat a cultivator from a prestigious family who had already built his foundation on the arena. What I learned from that was the importance of having an unstoppable momentum and rich combat experience."

  "Yes, Master!" The group of younger generation nodded in unison and replied in chorus, their faces filled with even more reverence.

  The old man nodded in satisfaction, just about to speak, but his eyes suddenly showed a few more shades of astonishment.

  Only from the southeast direction, two dazzling lights flashed by, and the strong force wave and the cold and bone-piercing killing intent made the old man's body instantly stiffen, not daring to make any movement. As for those disciples under his gate, they were even more directly paralyzed on the ground, their bodies instantly drenched in cold sweat.

  Fortunately, these two groups of escaping light disappeared very quickly, and in just a few breaths, they vanished into thin air.

  "Golden Elixir Cultivator!" Old Zhang's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "This place is not suitable for staying for long, leave quickly, or else something bad might happen!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped his forehead and took out a flying sword-like treasure. This object grew in size to several meters when it encountered the wind, and after those disciples stepped on it, he pinched a spell with his hand and shouted: "Fast!"

  A flash of green light, and the flying sword fled wildly into the distance.

  The two great Golden Elixirs of Luoyun Valley led their disciples in a majestic and intimidating manner, sweeping through the area with an aura of killing intent. Many cultivators were shocked and frightened by this display, and after recovering from their initial shock, they all turned pale and hastily departed.

  After the news spread, the entire Northern State's Cultivation World was shocked! Especially after this incident, the news of the Earthly Demonic Sect's closure also came out, causing a stir among many cultivators. For a time, the entire Northern State's Cultivation World was turbulent and dark, with an additional layer of gloom in every cultivator's heart.

  At this moment, the person who caused the great sensation was lying in the cave, completely unaware of what had happened.

  Xiao Chen gradually regained consciousness, slowly sat down with his legs crossed, and his mind swept through his body. He then revealed a hint of bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. This time, annihilating Ming Xiao Old Ancestor, although the battle was not long, Xiao Chen could be said to have used all his means. In the end, he used that high-grade Dan Treasure to stop the former from leaving the Poison Beast Dan's range, and even suffered heavy injuries under the counter-shock force.

  "This time, although many artifacts were damaged and I was seriously injured, it was worth it to be able to kill that old demon Ming Xiao! A hint of satisfaction flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. Now that the old demon Ming Xiao is dead, his family will be even safer from now on."

  "I don't know if Xiao Lin has returned to the sect, and what's the situation outside now?" Xiao Chen furrowed his brow, a few shades of worry on his face, but he was completely helpless. "Forget it, for now, let's focus on recovering from our injuries. Mo Li! On the day I return, will be the day you meet your doom!"

  Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, but it was gone in an instant. He reached into his storage bag and pulled out several bottles of medicinal pills, placing them in front of him. With a casual motion, he opened one of the bottles and poured out some fragrant white ointment, applying it to his body. The ointment was instantly absorbed into his skin, and the bloody wounds began to scab over at an alarming rate, healing to about 70-80% in just a moment.

  After treating his external injuries, Xiao Chen swallowed a few more elixirs and began to refine the medicinal power.

  Time flies quickly, and as the elixir in the jade bottle in front of him becomes less and less, Xiao Chen's breath gradually becomes calm, and a vigorous vitality slowly emanates from his body.

  A few days later, inside the mountain cave, a strange surge of energy fluctuation was transmitted from within. If one were to carefully savor it, they would discover that this was a phenomenon that only occurred when a cultivator's internal energy was purified and stirred up during a breakthrough in their cultivation.

  "Hmm, this fluctuation, could it be that a cultivator is breaking through a bottleneck here?" A few miles away from the cave, a man in his thirties with a gloomy complexion suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiao Chen. A hint of joy flashed across the bottom of his eyes, and then he disappeared in a flash of light, rushing towards the source of the fluctuation.

  "It's just this place, it seems that person is inside the cave." The gloomy man showed a hint of caution in his eyes, first patting his hand, then taking out a semi-circular shield to protect himself, and after that, he laid down several layers of spiritual shields. Only then did he hold a gourd-shaped treasure and slowly move forward.

  "Hurry!" The man let out a low shout, clutched his hand and pointed, and instantly a fireball condensed and fell directly at the entrance of the cave.
