Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 227 The haze gradually fades away
"Did the medical officer say anything else?" Kang Dabao frowned slightly and asked nervously while grabbing Yuan Jin's wrist.

"Junior brother, how could I remember it wrong? It's exactly the same word for word," Yuan Jin sighed.

Pei Yi also came up to answer at this time: "That's what the court physician sent by the Earl of Nan'an said. If we can find the Azure Spiritual Root, maybe we can buy an arm for Junior Brother Jiang.

But that thing is hard to come by even in the hands of a Jindan cultivator. The medical officer also heard that it is very rare in the interior of the Immortal Dynasty, unless you go to the outer sea to find it. We."

Kang Dabao was silent for a while. He didn't think about rushing back, and still missed the medical officer sent by Kuang Liuting.

It was obvious that the Biluo spiritual root mentioned by the medical officer must be extremely precious, and the state court might not have it. Even if it did, they would definitely not be willing to give it to Jiang Qing.

Nan'an Bo told the medical officer in class not to be stingy, but he should also know when to stop and not take advantage of others.

"Huh, there's no need to worry too much. At least now we know a way. It's better than not knowing where to go to pray to the Buddha before." Kang Dabao forced a smile, let go of Yuan Jin's hand, and pretended to be relaxed and comforted his fellow apprentices:

"During the days I was in the state court, I also heard people talking about the Wanbao Commercial Bank opening a branch in Xuanwei City. We can go there and ask around. Who knows, we might be able to find the whereabouts of the Azure Spiritual Root."

When everyone heard what he said, they all put on a smiling face.

Wanbao Trading Company is famous in the David Immortal Dynasty. It is said that there are Nascent Soul ancestors and even God Transformation ancestors behind it.

His family's business is very big, and the David Immortal Dynasty is just a relatively minor market for his family. He still puts more energy into cultivating other forces under the Kuling Mountain.

In the past, only some relatively wealthy state capitals could be chosen by Wanbao Commercial Bank to open branches.

Yunjiao Prefecture is considered poor in Shannan Road, which ranks very low. The reason why Wanbao Trading Company came here this time is probably because of Kuang Liuting.

But even if this branch is built, only the rich or the noble can go there to trade.

Even if Sect Leader Kang managed to get in, according to what the medical officer said, the Blue Sky Spirit Root is a rare item in the eyes of the Golden Core. Even if Wanbao Commercial Bank really has it for sale, what can Chongming Sect use to buy it?
As for going to Kuang Liuting again, it was a bit immature. I was afraid that as soon as I made my intention known, the King of Hell in the hall would be chased out by the little ghosts before he could even say anything.

"Old Ye has woken up. The doctor said that the third child will wake up in the next few days, right?" Kang Dabao was still worried and asked again.

"That's what I said. Master Brother, your injury hasn't healed yet, so I'll stay here to guard you." Pei Yi took on the task of guarding Jiang Qing. Master Kang took another look at Jiang Qing, who still had his eyes closed, and then retreated with Yuan Jin and others.

"These days, let's tighten the fences, guard the gates, and don't get involved in what's happening outside." Kang Dabao walked out of Jiang Qing's courtyard and went to the meeting hall with his fellow disciples.

The injury on his chest had not yet fully healed, and he spoke with a weak voice, which made all the disciples feel depressed.

Master Kang didn't have the strength to climb the stairs anymore, so he chose a seat to sit down under the main seat in the meeting hall. All his fellow disciples gathered around him, standing respectfully.

"Second brother, how many disciples from Shandugang are still here?"

"There are five people brought back by Senior Brother Pei. Seven more have come back in the past few days. It's unclear whether they ran away or got separated before."

"Register these five people and hold the initiation ceremony next month. As for the other seven people, Junior Brother Chu has known them for many years and should know their personalities. If you interrogate them carefully and ask people to verify, you will always be able to find out their battlefield performance.

If they are found to be those who escaped on the road, they will be brought in together with the five people;
If you find someone who has deserted, don't be too harsh on them. After all, we were in a great disaster, and our family didn't have much debt to them. It's human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.

I asked Junior Brother Chu to give each of them ten spirit stones to take away. This would not only sever the friendship between the two families, but also save the dignity of both parties."

Chu Huer stepped out and responded, with his head lowered and in a bad mood.

Sect Master Kang turned his gaze to Pei Yi again: "Although the injuries of our disciples have been treated by the doctors sent by Earl Nan'an, Junior Brother Pei will have to spend more time on their recovery."

"Junior brother, I understand." Even though Pei Yi himself was seriously injured, he still obeyed the order meticulously.

"Junior Brother Zhou, we have discussed before, to sort out the spiritual veins of the four families, Qinye Forest, Fangshi Mountain, Hengshan and our Chongming Sect, and to rearrange the spiritual fields and spiritual plants. We should start doing it in a few days. Please come up with a plan first, and show it to me when it is ready. Don't delay."

"Junior brother will never let you down!" Zhou Yixiu's eyes turned red as he looked at the weak appearance of Sect Leader Kang.

"I'm a little tired and want to take a nap. Second brother, if you wake up, come and call me." Kang Dabao said another word to Yuan Jin and then got up and left.

Returning to the still simple room of the headmaster, Kang Dabao did not even take off his robes and just lay down on the bed to take a nap.

He slept for three days. If Xiaoqi hadn't woken him up by biting his ear because of hunger, Master Kang didn't know how long he would have slept.

During these three days, he had many dreams. He dreamed that he had formed a pill, and people like Kuang Liuting and Fei Nan'ao had to kneel down before him.

I dreamed of my master again. His chess character is still very bad. When he loses a game, he likes to hit people on the head with the chessboard.

I also dreamed of Sister Song, Jiang Wanjun, and Turtle Son. They were all alive and well. Sister Song and Jiang Wanjun picked a bag full of wild fruits and kept feeding Turtle Son. Turtle Son's eyes narrowed into slits and he ate with great pleasure.

I dreamed about Song Hui and Dong Liu'er again. I dreamed that they couldn't memorize the Taoist scriptures, and Zhou Yixiu, who was furious, chased them around the yard with vines.

Finally, I dreamed of Fei Shuhe. In the dream, she was a passionate and fiery lady, and I had given birth to several children with her.
Master Kang was reluctant to wake up, because no matter which dream he was in, Xiao Sanzi's arms were fine.

Even after lying down for three days, Kang Dabao did not feel hungry, and Xiaoqi was making a lot of noise, so the head of the Kang family had no choice but to carry Xiaoqi to the kitchen.

It was late at night, but the crystal lamp in the kitchen was still lit.

This can be considered as a characteristic of the inner courtyard of Chongming Sect. The meeting hall and the ancestral hall, which are places that symbolize the face of the sect, still use large candles lit by animal oil, but in an unimportant place like the kitchen, there are glass lamps that cost ten spirit stones each and are kept on day and night.

Jin Shilun and Mo'er were not in the kitchen. There was only a plump and graceful female cultivator who was holding her cheek with her hand, staring at the glass cup in a daze.

"Hey, why are you here?" The head of Kangda Sect was a little surprised. When did Huo Ying come to Chongming Sect? Why didn't anyone mention it before?
"Your disciples have been guarding here for three days, preparing to prepare a fresh meal for you after you wake up. I was afraid that they would delay their practice, so I thought of replacing them for a while."

Seeing Kang Dabao coming in, Huo Ying's bright eyes were filled with surprise, which made Master Kang feel as if something was touched in his heart.

"Oh," Kang Dabao felt a little uncomfortable with the burning look. He lowered his head and stroked Xiaoqi's head, and said softly, "Can you cook?"

"I can do it. I can do it." Huo Ying stood up happily. After a burst of clanging sounds in the kitchen, a bowl of strangely colored porridge was placed on the table.

Xiao Qi had such a picky taste that he closed his six senses after just one look.

"Ha," Master Kang took a bite and laughed.

"I" Huo Ying's face turned red with shame.

"It's edible actually." Kang Dabao took another big sip and looked at Huo Ying with a different look in his eyes. "Thank you."

The latter immediately showed an expression of being flattered, "I am sorry for the injustice, my lord."

"It's not delicious," said Master Kang, after drinking it all. He sighed again, "But sincerity is the most important thing. Thank you very much."

Huo Ying watched Kang Dabao turn around and leave, and she felt something strange in her heart.

The two had known each other for some time, but this was the first time that the latter had spent so much time with her and talked so much while wearing clothes. The beautiful woman felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, and stared blankly at the head of the Kang family walking alone towards Jiang Qing's yard. Pei Yi was giving Jiang Qing medicine at this time, and the alchemist had left some medicine for his wounds before he died.

However, the alchemists who have entered the advanced stage still need to use gold needles to pierce twelve original acupoints and fifteen falling acupoints every day, and also need to moxibustion the fourteen meridian acupoints and infuse fire into the extra meridian acupoints. Not only is it cumbersome, but there are also many considerations on the techniques, sequence, and timing.

Now in the Chongming Sect, Pei Yi is the only one who can do the job and it is difficult for others to replace him. Therefore, Pei Yi, who is still injured, inevitably looks a little haggard.

"Master Brother is here? Junior Brother Jiang's injuries have improved a lot these days. I'm afraid he will wake up in a day or two."

The fatigue on Pei Yi's face disappeared when he saw Kang Dabao.

Kang Dabao was also quite happy to hear that. He secretly glanced at Jiang Qing's right arm, and seeing that it was still empty, he suppressed his inner disappointment and thanked Pei Yi for his hard work.

"Senior Brother Ye's injuries have improved a lot. New skin has grown out. These days, he can eat five elbows in one meal."

"Ha, that bastard has a big appetite. He has a terrible life and it will be hard for him to kill." After hearing this, Master Kang felt a lot more relaxed and said some more witty remarks.

"well,"

"What are you sighing for?"

"If my junior brother had come back earlier, maybe the leader would have been more relaxed." Pei Yi's tone was somewhat guilty.

"Everything is just right, there's no need to blame yourself. Don't seek perfection in everything. God is blind and he can't see." Kang Dabao comforted him indifferently, patted Pei Yi on the shoulder and was about to leave, but saw that Jiang Qing had already opened his eyes.

"Grand Master Brother." Jiang Qing opened his cracked lips slightly and uttered a few words with difficulty.

"Oh my God, little Sanzi, you're awake! It's good that you're awake." Master Kang watched Pei Yi feed the elixir to Jiang Qing, and then fed him some medicine decoction to help it dissolve and absorb. The heavy stone in his heart was finally lifted.

After forcing back the tears from his eyes, Kang Dabao continued, "If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me and your Senior Brother Pei."

"Everything is fine. Even my arm feels much lighter." After Jiang Qing took the pills and soup, his complexion improved significantly.

He forced himself to sit up, leaning on his hidden bag, and tilted his head to look at his empty right arm. There was no strange expression on his face, but instead he grinned.

"What nonsense! We have already found a great alchemist to take a look. Your injuries will recover in no time. Don't be lazy. I have sold my face and asked the provincial government to get the spiritual objects for foundation building. I am still waiting for you to build your foundation as soon as possible and bring honor to our family."

Master Kang pretended to be annoyed and scolded in a hoarse voice.

"Okay, Junior Brother will definitely be able to build a foundation." Jiang Qing smiled even more brightly, "Big Brother, if that red-faced guy hadn't cheated, I would have really been able to kill the foundation-building warrior with my sword that day."

"You should heal your wound first. Don't worry about whether you will win or not." There was still a hint of reprimand in Kang Dabao's tone.

"Haha, okay, let's not talk about it now. Next time, if there is another person who is blind in the foundation building stage, I will kill him again in front of Senior Brother. What about Yundao and Yuanbin? I have gained a lot of insights in using the sword this time. Quickly call them over so that I can have a good talk with them."

Despite being seriously injured, Jiang Qing's face did not show any sign of dejection, and he still looked full of heroic spirit.

As soon as the words came out, the room, which had been a little cheerful, suddenly fell silent. Jiang Qing realized something was wrong, and the smile on his face gradually faded: "Who's in trouble?"

"Yun Dao. It's gone." Pei Yi seemed to have lost his strength. He sat on Jiang Qing's couch and sighed.

"Another one is gone," Jiang Qing's eyes dimmed, "but he is a stupid kid. He can't even get started with the Three Yang Classics, and his sword skills are also average. He can't even save his life."

"I've remembered the Lin family in Chang County. It seems that there aren't many people in his family who have established their foundation. If we kill them slowly, we can eventually kill them all." Jiang Qing suddenly felt a little bored and looked much more tired.

Pei Yi stopped talking, and Kang Dabao didn't want to scold Jiang Qing anymore. The three of them sat opposite each other in silence until dawn.

Jiang Qing's awakening dispelled the dark clouds that covered the sky for the Chongming Sect. Even the younger generations were much more energetic when doing morning and evening lessons.

When they were in the Sutra Hall, they were most afraid of Jiang Qing and Han Yundao being on duty. Now that the two of them could not come, these kids became more serious.

Yu Xiaowushan and his group have grown a lot in just two or three months.

The eight words "others are the butchers and I am the meat" are very simple to say, but only after you have truly experienced it, you will know how painful it is.

Because of this, the younger generations of Chongming Sect are full of ambition without any encouragement.

Even Wei Gu, who had long given up on the path of Taoism and was now enjoying his grandchildren, began to seriously study the notes on formations that Kang Dabao brought back.

Wei Gu thought clearly that if he had not been a burden, Han Yundao and Duan Anle, two senior brothers with strong abilities, would most likely have been able to return to the sect with their lives.

What Han Yundao loved to say most during his lifetime was that he was the senior brother and should set a role model for all his fellow junior brothers, and he indeed did so.

But Han Yundao still had a lot of things he wanted to do but had not yet accomplished. Now that Wei Gu had survived, he also wanted to carry on his brother's legacy and do more for his brother.

"Ha, Mr. Kang, you are doing a really good job as the leader." Ye Zhengwen, whose injuries have improved a lot that day, sat together with Kang Dabao, looking at the sweaty children on the training ground and feeling inspired.

"It's hard, but it's also easy." The head of Kangda Sect rarely had the thought of bickering with Ye Zhengwen. "Wanjun's revenge has been avenged, and you should relax a little."

"Yes, I dreamed about Wanjun some time ago." Ye Zhengwen paused, and said with a smile: "She asked me to thank you."

"What a coincidence, I also dreamed of Wanjun," Kang Dabao also laughed, looking at Ye Zhengwen's concerned expression, and then said slowly: "Wanjun said that she chose the wrong person at the beginning, and she should have chosen me as the eldest son-in-law of the Jiang family."

Ye Zhengwen was so angry that his face turned red. He staggered for a long time before he stood firm. He pointed at the head of Kangda and cursed: "You groceries, you fart."

"Haha, that's what Wanjun said anyway. If you don't believe me, I'll go back to my room and have a dream now."

"Mr. Kang, you are not allowed to leave!"

The hearty laughter finally reappeared in the Chongming Sect, and it seemed to have dispelled much of the gloom in the hearts of the disciples.

The Taoist priest with black shoes was standing on the clouds. When he saw this scene, he looked at the golden statue of Master He in the ancestral hall and said, "Big brother."
