"Philosophizing under candlelight Are you still capable of that today" Xianyao looked at Tianyi with a hint of doubt. He had been busy all day and didn’t have much energy left.
"Of course I can! Don't treat me like an old man!" Tianyi protested.
Xianyao glanced at Tianyi, then slowly said, "Aren't you already an old man"
…" (Silence)
"Ahem, after I eat and rest for a while, I'll come find you. There are still many things I need to discuss with you. How about this: let's eat together," Tianyi said after clearing his throat. He indeed had much he wanted to talk about with Xianyao.
Even if today’s incident hadn’t happened, Tianyi would have wanted to learn what enlightenment Xianyao had achieved and now, there was even more reason for that. Besides asking about the enlightenment, he also wished to engage in a medical art competition with Xianyao.
"Sure, but I should warn you beforehand: I won't talk all night. I still need my sleep tomorrow morning! Oh right, I want to read your medical texts as well. You know about that already," Xianyao suddenly remembered he had yet to mention this matter.
"You can look at them freely, even the Medical Immortal Canon if you wish!" Tianyi readily agreed for Xianyao to do so. Even if it was the Medical Immortal Canon, who knew what kind of value Xianyao might possess
Most importantly, Tianyi was someone who hoped others would develop their medical art further. He wasn’t jealous; one could say that Xianyao’s luck was good for encountering this master.
The headmaster of Immortal Medical Peak wasn’t like everyone else — the previous one didn’t like seeing anyone surpass him. If it had been the previous headmaster, Xianyao would have surely been rejected.
"Since that’s the case, then I won't be ungrateful," Xianyao was indifferent about whether he could see the Medical Immortal Canon or not but why refuse if allowed
“Alright, let's go eat. I think they’re ready,” Tianyi said happily.
Xianyao nodded and looked around as if searching for someone.
"Prince Xiaxin, are you looking for someone" Princess Kexin asked.
"Princess Kexin, just call me Xianyao; no need to add 'prince'," Xianyao said habitually. Although he knew she wouldn’t change her words, he still reminded her.
Without waiting for Princess Kexin’s usual response, Xianyao continued, "I was looking for Indifferent East. I wanted to have dinner with her, but it looks like she isn't here; no need to worry about her then!"
"Indifferent East Do you know her When I came out, I didn’t see her around. Has she come" Princess Kexin asked in confusion.
Princess Kexin was unaware that Xianyao knew Indifferent East because at the time when he treated her, she was still healing and hadn't fully recovered yet.
"Yes, I know her. She wasn’t here earlier" Xianyao also found this puzzling as he had been busy all day and didn’t pay attention to where Indifferent East went. They weren’t close enough for him to track her.
According to Princess Kexin’s words, it seemed Indifferent East was never around, which confused Xianyao even more — how could she suddenly appear and then disappear What had she been doing
Xianyao didn’t know that at this moment, Indifferent East was actually doing something; she was using a situation to create an opportunity for her objective.
What exactly it was, Xianyao couldn’t know here. However, there was some connection with him because the incident had been caused by his actions.
Might be that Xianyao wouldn't have thought his own matters would actually affect the entire righteous alliance…
"How did you meet her…" Princess Kexin asked as she followed Xianyao to the dining area. Xianyao answered her question briefly, only mentioning what he could.
Afterward, Xianyao proceeded with Tianyi’s schedule and discussed medical arts under the starry sky. This was beneficial for Xianyao who learned a lot as well.
In不知不覺中，兩人聊到了深夜，在可心公主的提醒之下，兩人才散去，各自回房休息，準備明天繼續，還是晚上談。
白天為什麼不談？
白天的時候，逍遙要去看醫書，而田易應該要去做點掌門要做的事情，尤其是在這個時候，事情還是比較多的。
最重要的就是田易要找各個門派談談今天的事情！
The two不知不覺中 talked until late into the night. At Princess Kexin's reminder, they finally dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest, preparing for another discussion tomorrow evening.
Why not talk during the day
During the daytime, Xianyao wanted to read medical texts, while Tianyi likely had some headmaster duties to attend to. At this time, there were quite a few matters at hand.
The most important thing was that Tianyi needed to discuss today’s events with representatives of various sects.
What's going on
Naturally, it concerns the compensation for saving people!!
The Immortal Medicine Peak is a neutral sect. While they can save lives, they also charge fees for their services. Previously, even providing space required rent; there's no way they'd miss out on this opportunity to collect money. Tian Yi wouldn't let it slip by either, and he hopes to earn more so that the Immortal Medicines Peak’s funds can be replenished.
The sect of medical arts always requires herbs that are never fully satisfied with what's available; in other words, no matter how much money they collect, it'll never be enough!!
Xiaoyao now clearly understands one thing: Tian Yi isn't just a healer but also a shrewd businessman!
From the start of their conversation, Xiaoyao asked whether it was possible for Immortal Medicines Peak to provide services without compensation. At that time, Tian Yi already showed his business-like side by saying he would seek reimbursement from various sects.
Although Tian Yi said it tactfully, when Xiaoyao saw the fiery and cunning look in Tian Yi's eyes, it was clear that he viewed this as a lucrative opportunity akin to an unscrupulous businessman seeing money.
The next day, after waking up, Xiaoyao heard that the shrewd businessman had already gone early to discuss payment matters. However, Tian Yi had instructed his disciples to make all of Immortal Medicines Peak's medical books accessible for Xiaoyao’s perusal.
Since this was the case, Xiaoyao didn't say anything further and went straight to the library to study medicine. As expected from the largest sect in medical arts, there were rare medical texts that Xiaoyao had never seen before, which greatly benefited him.
In light of this situation, Xiaoyao feels he might need to stay at Immortal Medicines Peak for a few more days. This could upset some people who are waiting outside the peak to ambush and kill him.
Under these circumstances, it seems better if Xiaoyao stays longer. Princess Kexin hopes that Xiaoyao will remain here until she contacts Guxing et al., asking them for assistance in resolving this issue.
However, Xiaoyao rejected the proposal because he doesn't want to trouble others and believes his situation isn’t difficult enough to prevent him from leaving if he wants to.
Xiaoyao explained to Princess Kexin that even if he leaves, nobody would notice. For this reason, he hopes she won't be worried about him.
Initially, Princess Kexin was still concerned but when Xiaoyao transformed into another person right in front of her, she knew there was no need to worry and thus focused on her cultivation.
This time around, helping Xiaoyao fend off attacks made her feel powerless. If such a situation were to arise again, she wanted to be able to resolve it without relying on others or external factors.
Xiaoyao didn't pay much attention and only discussed cultivation matters with Princess Kexin. Though he doesn’t understand the Cloudy Soft Heart Sutra, he understands certain principles of martial arts. Once one principle is grasped, many others follow suit; hence, it was easy for him to find crucial points that would be helpful in her cultivation.
At this point, Princess Kexin became even more convinced: Guxing’s rapid progress isn't just due to talent and effort but also because of Xiaoyao’s presence.
In such a manner, Xiaoyao and Princess Kexin continued their individual cultivation practices at Immortal Medicines Peak. While Qing Ling Yue went back to observe the progression of the Martial Arts Conference, these individuals proceeded with the election of the Martial Alliance's leader despite numerous injuries suffered by others.
Every day at the Martial Arts Conference was filled with conflicts and it seemed to be escalating further as evidenced by the increasing number of casualties sent to Immortal Medicines Peak each day.
The days passed, along with constant struggles. The severity of the injuries brought in later on grew worse, as these were high-level martial artists; their combat power levels were vast and even a minor mistake could lead to severe injury or death.
While Xiaoyao was studying medical books, he also handled several casualties for Immortal Medicines Peak. Of course, all of this came with compensation. For the half-day assistance previously provided, Tian Yi had already given Xiaoyao generous compensation without withholding anything.
The most qualified businessman never shortchanges their own people; otherwise, they only receive temporary benefits rather than long-term gains!
Among those injured, what surprised Xiaoyao was that after about seven to eight days, he treated a severely wounded person who seemed to be the very same Fencheng. The scene was quite amusing: this man, who had been calling out for Xiaoyao’s death, ended up needing his help.
It already piqued curiosity when Fencheng's daughter sought aid from Xiaoyao; now that even he required assistance, the situation became more intriguing.
Xiaoyao didn't cause any trouble and readily assisted in saving him but asked for some compensation from Immortal Medicines Peak!
But at that time, Xiaoyao found it odd. After finishing treatment, he asked Fencheng a question: How did you get injured
The reason Xiaoyao asked this wasn't out of curiosity but because he realized something unusual about this injury—the Yin Demon Technique of the Evil Sect. Although this technique had been lost for ages and no one in the world could recognize it, Xiaoyao was clear that there would be no mistake.
Now that the Evil Sect has found the Demon Palace, they should also have rediscovered the practice method of Yin Demon Technique. Though incomplete, missing just the highest level, it hasn't affected their cultivation.
The traces of this Yin Demon Technique showed that this person’s proficiency was quite high. Given its unique nature, this person must possess a relatively high Evil Sect bloodline—could there be others after the two sisters Dongfang Wuying besides them (To be continued)Daoist逍遙 casually."Boy, you're talking big here!" someone said with displeasure, seemingly disliking the relationship between逍遙 and樂悠然.
