As the Universe Turns - Chapter 973
Chapter 973 Shui Hanyan
“If you take another step forward, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
The calm voice of the woman came from the valley again. Xiao Chen thought to himself, was the person inside Yun Chuan Medical Immortal? Or was he a disciple of Yun Chuan’s Medical Immortal?
But now, he didn’t care about that much. Since he had finally found this Water Cloud Valley and had not even seen it for a moment, he turned around and returned resentfully. That would be too boring.
Xiao Chen ignored the voice of the woman in the valley and continued to move into the valley. However, when he reached the valley, he discovered that there were layers of restriction formations. The restrictions bombarded the valley, and if he accidentally broke into the vicious formation, his body and spirit would be destroyed.
“The restriction of this valley is stronger than the first. I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, I won’t care if you die inside.”
The woman’s calm voice came from the valley again, but Xiao Chen did not listen. He focused on avoiding the surrounding restrictive attacks. Although these formations were powerful, they could not defeat the current him.
About an incense stick later, Xiao Chen had already passed through the restrictions and arrived at the valley. Under a cliff, there was a courtyard with bamboo in the front and back, and there were two cabins inside.
Seeing this valley scene, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but think of the Butterfly Valley where Shen Jing was. It was also like this. It seemed that the owner of the valley was the Yun Chuan Medical Immortal.
Xiao Chen walked closer. A gentle breeze blew over, bringing with it the fragrance of herbs in the courtyard. Inside the small courtyard, there was a woman with three thousand glossy hair on her back. However, it was unknown if her appearance was already old.
“I told you to go out, but you insisted on coming in. Do you know that those restrictions outside the valley just now, if you were careless, you would be dead now?”
The woman’s back was still facing him as she spoke faintly while tidying up the medicinal herbs on the stone platform.
Xiao Chen said, “From the looks of it, I am’s luck has always been pretty good … May I ask if this girl is Yun Chuan’s medical immortal?”
Hearing this, the woman stopped and turned her head slightly. “What do you call me?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen could clearly see her face. Although her back had three thousand floral hair on it, she was as beautiful as a young girl. Could it be that this “young girl” in front of him was the disappeared Medical Sage Shui Hanyan?
This was completely different from the Medical Sage he had imagined before coming here. The Medical Sage he had imagined should be an old woman with wrinkled faces, but he had never imagined that she would be such a beautiful girl.
However, he quickly reacted. The appearance of an immortal cultivator would not age as quickly as a mortal’s, and the immortal in front of him was obviously like his master. He had already cultivated into an immortal body, and even after a thousand years, he would not age.
“I have to see Senior Medical Saint’s true appearance today. Please forgive me for being rude below.”
Xiao Chen immediately cupped his hands. No matter what, this person in front of him was one of the Ten Saints who were as famous as his father back then. Moreover, there were very few people in this world who were proficient in medicine. The two Medical Saints and Medicine Saints were more widely known than the others.
“Healing Saint? I don’t dare to call him Healing Saint.”
Shui Hanyan turned around and continued to tidy up the medicinal herbs on the stone platform. “Brat, you just said that your luck has always been good, but I think you won’t be able to live long. At that time, will your luck continue to improve like this?”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s expression slightly froze. Ordinary people would never see the life and death backlash within their bodies. Yet, she could actually see it in such a short period of time with a single glance.
At this moment, he was even more certain that the person in front of him was the Medical Saint from back then. He said, “I am indeed lucky, but Senior Medical Saint relied on my strength. Otherwise, how could I be able to tell at a glance that I will not be able to live long?”
“You’re mistaken. I said that you won’t be able to live long. I mean, if you don’t leave, I’ll kill you.” At this moment, Shui Hanyan turned her head. Her eyes were as cold as frost, and she did not seem to be joking.
As for Xiao Chen, his gaze was still on her. He didn’t move the slightest bit. His gaze was also calm as he said, “I thought that a Medical Sage would only be able to help the world and not kill people.”
“Then you can try …”
Shui Hanyan’s gaze became even colder. However, Xiao Chen’s gaze still didn’t dodge. He looked at her and said, “In that case, Senior has finally admitted that he has lived in seclusion here for more than forty years, hiding his name and changing his appearance. However, I don’t know. Senior has lived in seclusion for more than forty years. Do you know that something earth-shaking has changed outside? And now …”
After saying this, he stopped. After a while, he continued, “Senior I am is not the only one who is looking for Senior Medical Saint. Although Senior lives in seclusion here, I think he should know that since I am can find this place, there will be other people who will find this place soon.”
At this moment, the courtyard suddenly became very quiet. Only the sound of the wind gently blowing the bamboo leaves could be heard. Shui Hanyan stared at the young man in front of her and remained silent. Xiao Chen also looked at her, his eyes motionless.
After a while, Shui Hanyan said, “I have long since stopped meddling in matters outside. The Ten Saints have long since disappeared. Now that you’ve come to find me, if you want me to treat the backlash of death energy in your body, you can. If there’s anything else, there’s nothing else you can do.”
Xiao Chen said, “Today, I am came to Watercloud Valley not to ask Senior to treat I am’s life and death backlash, but to invite Senior to follow him to Lustless Heaven.”
“Humph!”
Shui Hanyan snorted coldly and said unhappily, “Since you didn’t want me to treat my illness, then let’s go.”
Xiao Chen said, “Senior is not in a hurry. After listening to me, I believe that Senior lived in seclusion here more than 40 years ago because he did not want to enter that faction. However, as long as he is ranked among the Ten Saints, he will not be able to escape the eyes of that faction. Very soon, they will find him.”
Hearing this, Shui Hanyan’s eyes immediately narrowed. “What else do you know?”
Xiao Chen’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “I also know that the three Medical Saints, Medicine Saints, and Poison Saints were originally brothers. However, no one knew about this matter. However, after the Poison Saint entered a certain faction, the three of them became strangers …”
Hearing this, Shui Hanyan’s expression changed, but he quickly recovered. He smiled coldly and said, “As expected of Lustless Heaven, as expected of Night Shade. Under the darkness, it was like a shadow, everywhere. It was truly frightening …”
Xiao Chen looked at her with the same expression on his face. He would never be disappointed with Night Shade. Night Shade was not only good at assassination, there were many information buried in the darkness of the night in this world that they could investigate.
“Hmph.”
Shui Hanyan snorted coldly and said, “It’s just that what you saw is only the tip of the iceberg. You can’t defeat them. It’s important for the young man to save his life. Hurry up and leave.”
Xiao Chen said, “I am is here to invite Senior back to I am with Lustless Heaven. This Spirit Ruins Realm is not a safe place for Senior, no matter where he is. If …”
“I won’t go with you.”
Before he could finish speaking, Shui Hanyan interrupted. She took a deep breath and looked at the cliff above the bamboo forest. “I promised an old friend that I would never leave this valley even if I died.”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. At this moment, a faint look of sadness flashed across his face. After a long time, he said, “I dare to ask that old friend Senior spoke of. His surname is Xiao, and his name is Zhufeng …”
