Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

"No!"

Tian Buyi firmly refused, glancing at Dao Xuan Zhenren in the distance, and said:

"Seventh Brother, if you heal me now, it will greatly deplete your source power. The sect leader is waiting for this opportunity."

"It doesn't matter whether Master lives or dies, he has lived for hundreds of years anyway, the most important thing is that you are safe."

As Tian Buyi spoke, bright red blood trickled from the two sides of his mouth, where the Zhuxian Sword had cut open.

Seeing Tian Buyi on the verge of death, and knowing that he would rather die himself than let him die, Zhang Xiaofan felt incredibly heavy-hearted...

This was his master, who, though strict on the outside, cared for him immensely, treating him like his own son, and even wanted to marry his only daughter to him.

Although he was short and stout, Zhang Xiaofan felt that in his heart, Tian Buyi was always incredibly tall and imposing.

Zhang Xiaofan knew that if he didn't immediately use his internal energy to heal Tian Buyi, Tian Buyi would likely be dead by the time he defeated Dao Xuan Zhenren.

So, Zhang Xiaofan looked at Tian Buyi and explained:
“Master, you know me. My magical power is incredibly profound, far surpassing that of other cultivators at the same level. Moreover, I cultivate simultaneously from Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism, and I have also mastered a mysterious method.”

"Therefore, although I will lose some of my original magical power to heal you, my cultivation will not regress. At most, it will take some time to recover."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi felt that Zhang Xiaofan's words made sense, but still said:

"Absolutely not. Our sect leader has already reached the late stage of the Taiqing realm and possesses the Zhuxian Sword. In a duel between masters, even the slightest mistake can lead to a world of difference."

"Therefore, you must not expend your primordial magic power, or you might be defeated by Dao Xuan and die under the Zhuxian Sword because of the primordial magic power you expend to heal me."

Seeing that Tian Buyi was still worried, Zhang Xiaofan decided to reveal his true cultivation level.

The next moment, a powerful aura emanated from his body.

Tian Buyi felt this vast magical power, his expression froze for a moment, then he was overjoyed and excitedly exclaimed:

"Seventh Brother... I never imagined you'd reached the ninth level of the Taiqing Realm. How the hell did you cultivate like that?"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled as he heard Tian Buyi say, "You son of a bitch..."

The last time I heard Tian Buyi say this was more than a decade ago.

At that time, he had just become a disciple of Tian Buyi of Dazhu Peak. Because he quickly broke through to the third level of Yuqing, Tian Buyi, who never swore, blurted out... "You son of a bitch..."

Now that he has revealed his cultivation level of the ninth level of Taiqing, Tian Buyi has said this again.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at Tian Buyi and asked again:

"Master, are you still offering treatment?"

"Cure... cure!" Tian Buyi immediately replied excitedly.

“If I don’t cure you, you’ll feel incredibly guilty later. Since you’re so powerful, even if I lose some of my original magic power, with your combined cultivation of Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism, and the Blood Soul Sword in your hand, Dao Xuan definitely won’t be able to defeat you.”

"Even if we can defeat you, you should have no problem leading us to escape."

Seeing that Tian Buyi agreed, Zhang Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief. He then helped Tian Buyi sit up straight and placed his palms on Tian Buyi's back.

Between his palms, azure, golden, and crimson light, carrying golden runes, flowed slowly into Tian Buyi's body, healing his injuries.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi, holding the Tianya Divine Sword, stood straight beside the two, staring intently at Dao Xuan Zhenren.

At the same time, I was also somewhat surprised.

As is well known, the further one progresses in Taoist cultivation, the slower the cultivation speed becomes.

After Zhang Xiaofan broke through to the Taiqing realm, he reached the ninth level of Taiqing in just a few months.

This cultivation speed is simply too fast. Even the Qingye Zhenren of a thousand years ago did not have such a fast cultivation speed. Moreover, Zhang Xiaofan cultivates simultaneously from Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism, making his magical power even more profound.

"Cough...cough..."

Wan Jianyi stood on the ground, clutching his throat and coughing violently.

Dao Xuan had pinched him too hard just now, making him feel like he could die at any moment.

He thought he was going to die today, but unexpectedly Zhang Xiaofan appeared and saved him.

Wan Jianyi stood up, walked over to Zhang Xiaofan's side, and looked at Zhang Xiaofan healing Tian Buyi. Thinking of the Taiqing Ninth Level that Zhang Xiaofan had just revealed, his eyes showed surprise and relief.

He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to break through the Taiqing Realm.

Three hundred years ago, he and Dao Xuan were known as the Twin Heroes of Qingyun. However, because of the oath-taking ceremony, he was sentenced to death. It was Dao Xuan who secretly saved him and then hid him in the Ancestral Temple.

However, during the three hundred years he hid in the ancestral temple, his Taoist cultivation only reached the peak of Shangqing.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiaofan's words more than a decade ago that awakened him and led him to enlightenment, he would never have had a chance to reach the Taiqing realm in his entire life.

This shows just how difficult it is to break through to the Taiqing realm.

Moreover, how difficult is it to break through the cultivation level after Taiqing?

After breaking through to Taiqing, Zhang Xiaofan interrupted his training for several months and reached the ninth level of Taiqing.

Such a speed of cultivation is truly unprecedented and inconceivable. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

Seeing that Tian Buyi's pale face gradually regained some color under Zhang Xiaofan's healing, Wan Jianyi finally felt relieved.

After all, Tian Buyi was someone he had mentored, so their friendship was naturally deep.

Moreover, and most importantly, Wan Jianyi was worried about... Su Ru!
He knew that Su Ru was devoted to her love and would never give up. If Tian Buyi died here, and his body was sent back to Dazhu Peak, Su Ru would be heartbroken and lose all will to live, and would commit suicide to follow Tian Buyi in death.

This is why Wan Jianyi has always loved Su Ru, even though she is already married.

Su Ru was once known as the best beauty in Qingyun, along with Master Shuiyue, and their cultivation talents far surpassed those of other female disciples in Qingyun.

Even among the male disciples, their talents are only second to Dao Xuan, Cang Song, Tian Buyi, and Wan Jianyi.

How could Wan Jianyi not be infatuated with such a beautiful and charming woman, with exceptional talent in cultivation, unwavering loyalty in love, and impeccable character? How could he not be deeply in love with her?

Even after three hundred years, this love has not diminished in the slightest.

On the contrary, as time goes by, this love only grows stronger...

However, although he deeply loves Su Ru, he will not ruin Su Ru's happiness. He will only wish Su Ru and Tian Buyi a long and loving marriage.

This is Wan Jianyi, the number one swordsman, whose life was upright and honest.

Dao Xuan Zhenren stood in the night, heavy rain falling on his ferocious face, his dark eyes fixed on Zhang Xiaofan.

He didn't take advantage of Zhang Xiaofan healing Tian Buyi to launch a sneak attack. It wasn't that he disliked taking advantage of a crisis, but rather that he knew that with Zhang Xiaofan's strength, a sneak attack wouldn't bring him any benefit.

Instead, it would interrupt Zhang Xiaofan's healing of Tian Buyi.

Instead of launching a sneak attack, choosing to wait quietly would allow Zhang Xiaofan to expend more of his original magical power.

He'll have a better chance of winning when things start to get serious.
