From one person to nine to five

Chapter 817: Battosai (2)

In the process of treating the villagers, Kaguya Jiro discovered that the power in his body was gradually recovering. He found that when he used alchemy to help others, his power would become stronger.

He finally understood that the swordsmanship he had lost was not really gone, but existed in another form. His power was no longer just a tool for killing, but a means to save others.

He finally found a new direction, a new meaning, and a new self.

On a full moon night, Xu Fu and Kaguya Jiro sat in the village square and watched the villagers singing and dancing.

"I understand." Kaguya Jiro turned his head and looked at Xu Fu, with a smile from the heart on his face, "I finally understand."

"What do you understand?" Xu Fu asked with a smile.

"I understand that true power does not come from the sword, but from the heart." Kaguya Jiro said, "Thank you, Xu Fu."

Xu Fu nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction. He knew that Kaguya Jiro had completed his transformation and had found his own path.

At this moment, a silver light suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Kaguya Jiro. It was a sharp sword, and the blade was shining brightly in the moonlight.

Kaguya Jiro slowly stretched out his hand and grasped the sword. He felt a familiar power surge into his body, and his swordsmanship and strength all returned.

But he did not swing the sword to show his strength like before. He just held the sword tightly and felt its connection with himself.

"I will no longer use it to kill." Kaguya Jiro raised his head, looked at the sky, and said softly, "I will use it to guard, use it to protect, and use it to help those in need."

The moonlight shone on him, illuminating his face that was full of hope and determination.

Xu Fu bid farewell to Kaguya Jiro and the village, and set out again on his journey to find the elixir. He traveled alone through the mountains, feeling the magnificence and mystery of nature. He continued to study the way of alchemy and constantly improved his cultivation.

Occasionally, he would meet people who needed help, and he would try his best to lend a helping hand, using his medical skills and alchemy to help them out of trouble.

As time went by, Xu Fu's footprints spread all over the mountains and rivers, and his reputation gradually spread. People called him "the immortal of alchemy" and praised his superb medical skills and noble character.

However, Xu Fu did not become complacent. He always maintained a humble heart and continued to learn and explore. He knew that the path of Dan Dao would never end, and only by continuous efforts could he climb to a higher level.

By chance, Xu Fu came to an ancient cave. This cave was bottomless and filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. It was said that a powerful monster lived in the cave and no one dared to enter it easily.

Xu Fu was skilled in martial arts and bold, so he decided to go into the cave to find out what was going on. Holding a long spear in his hand, he walked forward cautiously. The cave was pitch black, and Xu Fu could only rely on the faint light and his keen hearing to grope his way forward.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and Xu Fu felt cold all over. He knew that the monster was nearby.

He stopped, held his breath, and listened carefully to the movements around him. After a while, he heard a heavy breathing sound coming from the depths of the cave.

Xu Fu took a deep breath, clenched the long spear in his hand, and prepared for the upcoming battle.

In the darkness, a pair of huge eyes lit up, like two green lanterns. Then, a huge figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

It was a huge black bear, covered with black hair and emitting a strong stench. Its eyes were full of ferocity, staring at Xu Fu intently.

Xu Fu knew that this black bear was the monster in the cave. He did not dare to be careless and immediately circulated the true energy in his body to the extreme, preparing to start a fierce battle with the monster.

The black bear roared and pounced on Xu Fu. It was so fast and powerful that it was like a moving mountain.

Xu Fu dodged the black bear's attack with a flash of his body. He waved the long spear in his hand and launched a counterattack against the black bear.

The long spear collided with the black bear's claws, making a deafening sound. Xu Fu felt his arm go numb, but he did not retreat. Instead, he continued to swing the long spear and fought fiercely with the black bear.

The black bear had a strong defense, and Xu Fu's long spear could hardly hurt it. However, the black bear was also very powerful, and Xu Fu would be hit by it if he was not careful.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Xu Fu gradually felt a little tired. He knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose.

He must change his tactics and find the black bear's weakness in order to have a chance to defeat it.

While fighting with the black bear, Xu Fu carefully observed its movements. He found that although the black bear's eyes were fierce, its movements were somewhat clumsy, and its abdominal defense was relatively weak.

Xu Fu had an idea and decided to use his speed and skills to attack the black bear's belly.

He stepped back suddenly, creating some distance between him and the black bear. Then, he took a deep breath and concentrated all the energy in his body on the long spear in his hand.

"break!"

Xu Fu roared, swung his spear, and stabbed the black bear's belly with lightning speed.

The long spear accurately pierced the black bear's abdomen, making a muffled "puff" sound. The black bear let out a scream and its body began to tremble violently.

Xu Fu did not give the black bear a chance to breathe. He swung his long spear again and continued to attack the black bear's abdomen.

The black bear's abdomen was stabbed and bleeding. It could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, its breath gradually weakening.

Seeing this, Xu Fu knew that he had defeated the monster. He put away his spear, walked to the black bear, and carefully observed its injuries.

He found that there was a small wound on the black bear's abdomen, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance around the wound.

Xu Fu's heart moved. He knew that this black bear was not an ordinary demon beast, but a spirit beast that had absorbed the spiritual medicine. He carefully examined the black bear's body and found that it actually had a spiritual pill in its body.

Xu Fu was overjoyed. He knew that this elixir was the elixir he had been looking for.

He carefully took out the elixir from the black bear's body, and then buried the black bear's body in the cave.

He knew that although the black bear was a demon beast, it also had spirituality. He hoped that the black bear could rest in peace and be reincarnated soon.

Xu Fu left the cave with the elixir, his heart filled with joy and gratitude. He knew that he had finally found the elixir he needed, and his path to elixir would usher in a new breakthrough.

He found a secluded place and began to practice alchemy in seclusion. He put the elixir into the alchemy furnace and used his true energy to refine it.

After several days of careful refining, the elixir was finally successfully refined. A strong medicinal fragrance emanated from the elixir furnace, which made people feel refreshed.

Xu Fu carefully took out the elixir and swallowed it. The elixir melted in his mouth and turned into a powerful energy that flowed into his whole body.

After breaking through the realm, Xu Fu did not indulge in the powerful power, but became more modest and cautious. He knew that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. He decided to use the knowledge and power he had mastered to do more for the people of the world.

He left his retreat and traveled to various villages and towns, treating illnesses and injuries for the people and teaching them the way to keep in good health. He was not only proficient in the way of alchemy, but also in medical skills. He could accurately diagnose various difficult and complicated diseases and treat them with the most appropriate medicines and methods.

His medical skills and alchemy skills were well known throughout the world, and many people came to him hoping to get his help. Xu Fu never turned away anyone who came to him sincerely, and he would do his best to help anyone who really wanted help.

He often went deep into the remote countryside to provide free medical treatment for the poor people who lacked medical care and medicine. He not only cured their physical illnesses, but also gave them spiritual encouragement and support, allowing them to rekindle their hope for life.

He also actively promoted the way of keeping healthy, teaching people how to maintain good health and prevent diseases through diet, exercise and cultivation. He simplified the complex Dandao theory into easy-to-understand language so that ordinary people could easily master it.

Thanks to his efforts, more and more people have begun to pay attention to health preservation, their physical fitness has been significantly improved, many diseases have been effectively controlled and prevented, and people's life expectancy has been extended.

In addition to curing diseases and saving lives, Xu Fu also devoted himself to researching new elixirs and medical skills, hoping to make greater contributions to human health. He often went deep into the mountains and forests to collect various rare medicinal materials and conduct experimental research.

He worked day and night, often thinking hard about a problem, even staying up all night. His efforts were not in vain, and he successfully developed some new elixirs and medical techniques that could treat some previously incurable diseases.

These new elixirs and medical skills were quickly promoted, bringing good news to more people. Xu Fu was therefore respected and loved by people and was hailed as the "miracle doctor who saved the world."

In the process of practicing medicine and saving lives, Xu Fu also met many like-minded friends. They were all doctors with noble character and superb medical skills. They jointly established a medical organization dedicated to serving the people of the world.

The name of this medical organization is "Xinglinge", which is taken from the allusion of "Spring Warmth in the Apricot Forest", implying warmth and hope. The members of Xinglinge are spread all over the country. They help and support each other and jointly protect the health of the people.

Xinglinge's influence is growing, and it has become a highly respected medical institution. Many people are proud to join Xinglinge, hoping to contribute to the health of mankind.

However, as Xinglin Pavilion continued to grow and develop, it also aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of some people. Some people with ulterior motives began to spread rumors, discredit the reputation of Xinglin Pavilion, and even secretly sabotage the activities of Xinglin Pavilion.

They tried to suppress Xinglin Pavilion through various means to prevent it from continuing to grow and develop. Their purpose was simple, which was to protect their own interests and they did not want to see Xinglin Pavilion threaten their position.

Xu Fu had long anticipated this situation, but he was not discouraged by it. Instead, it strengthened his determination to practice medicine and save lives.

He knew that justice would eventually triumph over evil and light would eventually dispel darkness. As long as he persisted in his beliefs and continued to serve the people, he would be able to overcome all difficulties.

He led the members of Xinglin Pavilion to work harder to provide better medical services to the people. They not only improved the medical level, but also strengthened the moral construction, and worked hard to build a medical team with integrity and noble medical ethics.

Their efforts eventually won the trust and support of the people. The rumors that slandered Xinglin Pavilion were broken, and those who disrupted Xinglin Pavilion's activities received due punishment.

The reputation of Xinglin Pavilion became even more famous, and it became a real medical sanctuary. Countless people came from all directions, hoping to get help from Xinglin Pavilion. As the reputation of Xinglin Pavilion grew, Xu Fu gradually realized a problem: the way to save the world that he pursued was not recognized by everyone.

In the dark corners, there are always some forces coveting the power in his hands and the resources controlled by Xinglin Pavilion. Among them, the most dangerous and familiar enemies are Battousai and Kaguya Jiro.

Many years have passed, and Xu Fu is no longer the fledgling alchemist. His alchemy skills have reached an unprecedented level, and his martial arts have long been perfected. But he knows that Kaguya Jiro will not stand still either.

He could feel that Kaguya Jiro's breath was getting closer and closer, and the air seemed to be filled with a sharp sword energy. He knew that the other party had already unlocked his original seal, and attacked him again with stronger power and more twisted beliefs.

One day, Xu Fu was seeing patients at the Xinglin Pavilion headquarters when a young disciple came running over with a pale face, "Mr. Xu! Something bad has happened! Battousai... Battousai's people are here!"

Xu Fu put down the medical book in his hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He knew that what was supposed to come would eventually come.

"How many people are here?" he asked calmly.

"Only...only Kaguya Jiro." The disciple answered tremblingly.

"Alone?" Xu Fu frowned slightly. Kaguya Jiro came alone, either because he was arrogant or because he had someone to rely on.

"Can the disciples in the pavilion handle it?" Xu Fu asked. Although Xinglin Pavilion focuses on medical skills, it also recruits many martial arts masters to be responsible for security.

"They... they can't stop it." The disciple's voice was filled with tears, "Kaguya Jiro's sword is too fast, and... and he seems to have become even crazier!"

Xu Fu sighed and stood up: "I'll go take a look."

He walked out of the clinic and came to the Xinglin Pavilion's martial arts training ground. He saw that the martial arts training ground was in a mess, with blood staining the ground red. Dozens of Xinglin Pavilion disciples fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

In the middle of the crowd stood a man in a dark blue kendo uniform. It was Kaguya Jiro. His hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and the sword in his hand was dripping with blood, like a demon from hell.
