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

Jing Liu didn't question him, but his deliberately flattering tone still managed to control Cheng Xiao, this lion-like man.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Cheng Xiao could only use his dragon-style head-scratching technique to say apologetically:

"Well... how should I put it? Since it's a secret operation, we brought relatively few people with us."

Jingliu remained silent, but his Wangshuang sword was slightly drawn from its sheath, causing Chengxiao to break out in a cold sweat.

"Actually! It's mainly because Danfeng has a lot of grudges against the Medicine King's Secret Teachings! I considered that's why I called her!"

The Frost-Gazing Sword is already seven-tenths drawn!

Cheng Xiao's face was covered in even more sweat.

"I was wrong. I'll definitely call on you next time there's an operation."

Jingliu closed his eyes, and the Wangshuang sword was already sheathed.

"Actually, I didn't blame you, but you didn't explain it to me, which made me worry."

"I know you don't want to attract too much attention, but please always remember that we are inseparable."

Jingliu went into the house without looking back, and this hurdle was over.

Cheng Xiao had just breathed a sigh of relief when Jing Liu's voice came again: "Tonight, I want ice cream!"

"Okay!"

Back home, Jingyuan was so bored that he was rolling around on the table.

"Uncle-Master, why are you only just getting back?! I'm exhausted!"

Cheng Xiao grabbed Jing Yuan by the back of her collar and lifted her up:

"Jingyuan, stop playing on the table. Your master is going to cook now. Help him wash the rice."

"May I have a bite of the food first?"

"No, we have to eat together."

"Okay~"

As Cheng Xiao entered the kitchen, Jing Yuan smiled slightly: "You can't eat first, but I didn't say you can't sneak a bite, right?"

......

After the meal, Jingyuan took his sword and practiced with Chengxiao.

As for why it was Cheng Xiao, her master Jing Liu was incredibly strong, leaving no room for maneuver, and her grandmaster Yao Feng was a killing sword. If Jing Yuan went to find her, he would be killed!

Only Uncle Chengxiao can control the rhythm and the appropriate degree.

Jingyuan didn't know why, but her martial uncle could manipulate her so easily without even using any weapons.

Jing Yuan swung his sword wildly, but couldn't even touch Cheng Xiao's clothes, as if he had anticipated the trajectory of the attack.

"No, that's too slow."

"No, that's too obvious. I can see right through you."

"If you have enough speed, what about power? At most, it'll just scratch the enemy's skin."

After Jing Yuan missed again, he made a sudden, unexpected horizontal slash. Even if he reacted to this attack, he would be in a bit of a mess!

However, the next moment, Jing Yuan felt dizzy and was tripped by Cheng Xiao, falling to the ground and losing his sword.

"The branches are fragile, but the roots are slippery. You need to keep your balance."

Jingyuan winced slightly, clutching his bottom, while Chengxiao chuckled and reached out his hand.

"Get up, do you still have the energy?"

"My martial uncle is amazing!"

After Jing Yuan got up, she patted the mud and dust off her body. She seemed unable to see the difference between herself and her martial uncle.

It's not bad, though.

Jingyuan yearns to surpass his master, not necessarily with swordsmanship, but with martial prowess.

But Jingyuan didn't want to surpass Chengxiao. It was warm to be under his uncle's wing, just like every time his uncle took care of him.

The thought of wanting to be taken care of by his martial uncle for the first time took root in Jing Yuan's mind.

"Why are you spacing out? Have you had some kind of epiphany?"

"No, I just want to eat the desserts my uncle makes."

"Haha, you just finished eating."

"I'm growing! I want to eat, okay?"

"Of course, dessert is also an essential part of life. After you finish eating, take a walk."

"Yay!"

Jingliu scolded from afar, "You haven't practiced much, but you've eaten a lot."

But a slight smile played on her lips; this kind of life wasn't so bad.

......

"Yunhua! Use your brain and think carefully! Where exactly did you leave that thing?"

"I'm thinking about it! I'm thinking about it! Don't push my head!"

Cheng Xiao pressed his hands down on Yun Hua's head, almost unable to resist using the [Ox] talisman to strengthen it.

"That's it! It should be at the Guanyi Terrace! Let's go find it!"

(Guanyi Terrace: A pavilion in the Dan Ding Si (Imperial Medicine Bureau) that houses medical records and manuscripts, standing overlooking the sea. It is said that no ingenious objects are allowed to approach it.)

Upon arriving here, one is surrounded by a dazzling array of scriptures and scrolls, with ninety-nine layers of heaven above and thirty-four compartments below.

"You just put my research report here?"

"Yes, after all, all documents and items within the Dan Ding Division are recorded here."

Cheng Xiao asked helplessly, "Don't you have any categories here?"

"Yes, brothers. The ninth floor contains research-related documents."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao instantly transformed into a streak of light and traversed the books on the ninth floor. The [Rabbit] talisman made Cheng Xiao's movements and browsing speed extremely fast.

Yunhua exclaimed, "This is simply superhuman!"

In less than fifteen minutes, Cheng Xiao finally found his document, which contained a research paper on the secret manual of the Medicine King.

Although the works of the Medicine King were not created by humans, some of their classic texts and theories have merit.

Whether it is the study of life or the study of the bounty of nature, these theories are valuable, and it would be a great pity to burn them.

Just make sure to keep it safe and don't let others misread this document, so that the seeds of abundance will sprout and take root in their hearts, eventually turning into nourishment for the secret teachings of the Medicine King.

Although the secrets of the Medicine King have been lost, the short-lived species that yearn for longevity still exist, as do the long-lived species that pray for power.

There will always be people who follow the old path of the Medicine King's secret teachings and ultimately suffer the consequences.

There has never been a shortage of wicked people who abandon their humanity for the sake of desire. Cheng Xiao has seen countless ugly faces over the past few hundred years.

Those specially made "elixirs" are nothing more than draining the body's life force in exchange for power.

Normal people can achieve the same results through solid training, but some people always like to take shortcuts.

The end result is that the body is constantly being reshaped, increasingly reverting to a primitive, animalistic state, and gradually losing its sense of self.

The universe is now abundant and powerful, and the Celestial Ship is one of the forces that counterbalance it.

Since the balance of Yin and Yang has been broken by one side, the Immortal Ship will not show weakness!

The current Immortal Boat Alliance is strong and well-equipped, unlike the Luofu Alliance of the future peaceful era, which is in a period of transition and supported only by Jing Yuan.

Whether it's the older generation of strong individuals still holding the fort or the rising stars emerging, it all means that the Immortal Ship is constantly getting stronger, and it just wants a great victory!

But whenever Cheng Xiao thought about the sudden chaos of the future, his heart would tighten.

Although we won, the price we paid was far too high.

There was also the Third Abundant People's War, in which the Cloud Cavalry was decimated, with only one-tenth remaining, and the Fanghu Immortal Boat never recovered.

Possessing twelve kinds of rule-based magic, as well as righteous magic, Cheng Xiao had no reason to let all of this happen as if it were fate.

I just don't know what kind of changes will occur on the yin side as the yang side becomes stronger after I appear.
