Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

"Taishu, how are you feeling now?"

"Strong and powerful! So strong and powerful!"

"Taibuke, remember to make me some old duck soup and drink it. Eat less sweets lately."

"No way! If you won't let me eat sweets, you might as well drag me to the Ten Kings' Palace for extermination!"

"Listen to me!"

"Waaaah, how could a junior be so mean to an elder?"

"Old Deng! Don't try to act tough just because you're old!!!"

Cheng Xiao is helping Wang Xu with his physical conditioning, and the power of the [Horse] talisman is constantly providing him with vitality.

Wangxu's body was so thin that it seemed as fragile as paper in the breeze.

Originally, Wangxu's lifespan was only five years, but he has survived to this day thanks to Chengxiao's life extension.

Wang Xu savored the broth that Cheng Xiao had prepared, and gently asked:

"Actually, I should have died long ago, on the road to seeking the future. Teng Xiao, really, he insisted that you help me stay for a while."

Yao Feng had already revealed Cheng Xiao's healing power. Only after Teng Xiao learned that even the Demon Yin Body could be healed did he think of asking Cheng Xiao for help.

Unfortunately, the power of the [Horse] talisman is not yet strong enough to cover the entire Immortal Ship, otherwise Cheng Xiao would be regarded as the most important protected object by the Immortal Ship Alliance.

The power of talismans is great, but if the people of the Immortal Ship really overcome something like the Demonic Yin Body, it would be a kind of hidden danger to the universe.

This also contradicts the idea of ​​balancing Yin and Yang in the practice of Cheng Xiao. There are gains and losses. The demonic Yin body is like a curse that accompanies longevity, a limitation on those who wish to live forever.

All Cheng Xiao wants to do is protect the people he cares about and is close to. He doesn't advocate for the greater good of the world; he follows the personal feelings of Jackie Chan and his father.

If the world is to be destroyed, he will naturally feel obligated to do so; he may act bravely and righteously, but he will not become a saint who saves all living beings.

"General Teng Xiao doesn't have many friends left, and you, Taibu, are one of them. Why be so eager to risk your life for a possible future? The unknown means infinite possibilities. No matter what dangers we face, we will overcome them!"

"Hehehe, your idea is quite good, kid. The unknown... Yes, but the meaning of divination is to clarify the unknown. The existence of knowledge is for calculating results. How many people spend their lives seeking answers, just to dispel the haze of the future..."

Wang Xu's words were also exceptionally profound; he took out a card and said:

"Keep this safe. You have great talent and a wonderful mind. Take this. If you want to in the future, you can go to Jade Palace to study."

"This is?"

Cheng Xiao took the card, and surprisingly, his name was already on it, which seemed to be a form of proof of guaranteed admission.

"This is the admission card for the Academy of Sciences on the Jade Palace Immortal Ship. You can use it to directly enter the academy, see different sciences, and experience the wonder of knowledge."

"If you don't want to go, you can use this to have the Jade Palace's diviner do you a fortune telling, as a favor he owes me."

Cheng Xiao hesitated, "Isn't this thing too valuable?"

"I've already registered your name, and besides, you've extended my life for so long, this is what you deserve."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao no longer declined, for this was indeed a good thing and might be useful in the future.

(The Universal Wisdom Academy: It has a history of about 5000 years and has continuously provided high-level technical personnel who believe in the Universal Wisdom Heavenly Lord to various departments and offices of the Immortal Ships.)

Wang Xu nodded. He thought highly of Cheng Xiao and naturally hoped that Cheng Xiao and the Immortal Boat would become more involved.

"Alright, I'm tired. You can go ahead and do your work. You don't need to take care of this old man anymore."

Wang Xuming clearly has the appearance of a young man, but he looks old and frail. This is the wonder of the immortal species.

Wang Xu lay on the rocking chair, slowly closed his eyes, and seemed to have finished explaining things, then fell into silence.

"Diviner? Diviner Wangxu? Diviner?!"

Cheng Xiao called out several times, but Wang Xu did not respond.

"Taib! Taib... Ouch!"

Wang Xu immediately stood up and shot Cheng Xiao in the head.

"It's so noisy! I'm sleeping! Get out of here!"

"Yes, yes, I'll be right there."

Cheng Xiao was truly suffering in silence, and he thought Wang Xu had passed away.

After Cheng Xiao left, Wang Xu opened his eyes again. He picked up his magic disc, which had the words "Jing Tian Zeng" on it.

"Heavens above, it seems I can't find a successor. From now on, your apprentice will take over as the diviner of Luofu!"

......

Jade Palace Immortal Boat, inside the Grand Divination Office.

"Yao Guang! You're eating in class again! You're punished with a foot of ink!"

The current Grand Diviner, Jingtian, took a ruler and walked up to the little girl in the audience.

The little girl named Yao Guang stood up timidly. Before Tian had even punished her, tears were already welling up in her eyes.

But Heaven knew that his disciple was a little demon, and everything before him was just a disguise.

"Hands out!"

"Hmm..."

Xiao Yao reluctantly stretched out his hand, and Tian Tian lightly tapped it with a ruler.

But for a young girl with delicate skin, this is also very painful.

"Master, I was wrong."

"You silly girl! When will you ever give me a break?"

"If Master thinks Yao Guang is disobedient, then find me a more obedient junior sister!"

"What? You brought this here to bully?"

"That's impossible! Yao Guang will definitely treat Junior Sister well! Master, please take on another disciple, I'm so lonely all by myself~"

Jing Tian was well aware of Yao Guang's ulterior motives, and sneered:

"Just don't lead your junior sister astray, or I'll be thanking my lucky stars!"

"As for taking on more disciples, I will have to see if there are any talented people in the Jade Palace's aristocratic families."

Yao Guang obediently sat down again, while Jing Tian turned around and wrote on the electronic board.

[Honestly, why did that Yaofeng Sword Master leave so early? Now Master has no one to study and has come back to punish me.]

Leaving aside Yao Guang's minor troubles, Cheng Xiao had just left the Taibu Si when he encountered Yun Hua.

Yunhua is now the Director of the Pill Refining Department, seemingly wielding great power. However, the department was previously riddled with infiltration, and only improved significantly after Cheng Xiao's reforms.

However, the collaboration between Tao Ran and the Medicine King's Secret Teachings indicates that there are still traitors within the Pill Cauldron Division, and Yun Hua is essentially investigating them every day.

"Cheng Xiao! I recently summarized the situation of all the physicians, and there are three of them who seem a bit off to me. Could you help me figure them out?"

"OK."

Cheng Xiao naturally wouldn't refuse; removing the tumor from the immortal boat was his duty.

I took the file over and looked at it.

【Yu Shao】: A first-level physician in the Dan Ding Division, she has been frequently taking leave from work recently and has not been in contact with anyone, but has a large number of online shopping records.

【Qiao Geng】: Medical assistant of Dan Ding Si, who happens to be Yu Shao's assistant. Recently, like Yu Shao, he has not left the house and has a lot of online shopping records.

【Fuzhi】: A second-level alchemist of the Dan Ding Division, recently selling elixirs at the medical market and having dealings with many medicine merchants, but the transaction records are unclear.
