Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Xia Liu’s Hardships and Tears

“With a few more pieces, I could even advance in rank!”

Hearing Xia Liu say this, Ouyang Lingtian’s eyes lit up with fervor.

Currently, Xia Liu’s cultivation was above the third level of Qi Cultivation. If he could advance with just a few pieces, then getting even one, or half a piece, would surely mean that he could advance too!

“Young man, don’t be envious. That stone isn’t for you. The Spiritual Energy within is too pure, and purity often means it’s violent. With your cultivation, you can’t refine such pure Spiritual Energy,”

Xia Liu bluntly dashed any hopes as he saw what was going through Ouyang Lingtian’s mind.

“Hehe, wishful thinking on my part. However, I’m curious about your cultivation rank,” Ouyang Lingtian said, scratching his head.

“My cultivation fluctuates quite a bit. Without comparing with other cultivators, I don’t know exactly which rank it corresponds to,”

“Cultivation can fluctuate?” Ouyang Lingtian wondered.

“Yes, this is the second Spirit Stabilizing Needle. I still have one more in my body,”

“Damn! There’s actually another one!” Instantly, Ouyang Lingtian was dumbfounded.

According to Xia Liu, when he was in the Island Nation and removed the Spirit Stabilizing Needle, his aura wasn’t as powerful, which meant that was the first needle!

Removing this second one and having the power to crush an Earth-Rank Peak, what if he removed the third? Could he not then kill a Heaven-Rank Warrior in an instant!

“Calm down, you think I want this thing in me? If it weren’t for a hidden affliction in my body, why would I endure this pain…” Xia Liu could only sigh. The extent of his suffering and tears, only he understood.@@novelbin@@

“Can I timidly ask what your affliction is?”

“It’s no big deal. The Spirit Stabilizing Needle seals my cultivation, and it can seal my Divine Sense as well.”

“Divine Sense? What is that?” Ouyang Lingtian felt confused, sensing he was about to uncover an unknown truth.

“Divine Sense is essentially a cultivator’s spiritual power. When you reach a certain realm, you’ll have Divine Sense too. I was too aggressive when I was training. I swallowed any Spirit Grass or herb with Spiritual Energy that I came across, until I mistakenly ate some Nether Grass, which while advancing my rank, caused great damage to my Divine Sense. Once I kill someone, my Divine Sense becomes berserk and uncontrollable.”

“So that’s it. That’s why you use the Spirit Stabilizing Needle to seal your cultivation and your Divine Sense,”

“Exactly. When my family head found out about my condition, he inserted the Spirit Stabilizing Needle. Unfortunately, he passed away before he could find a cure for me.”

At this point, Xia Liu was full of regret, truly somewhat falling apart then.

Not only did he leave a hidden danger within himself, but his old man had also died.

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s alright. Life involves birth, aging, sickness, and death, even for cultivators, and we all meet our limits eventually,”

“That’s a good attitude. Lastly, let me ask, have you found any method to treat your Divine Sense over the years?”

“Maybe I have, maybe I haven’t,”

“What do you mean?” Ouyang Lingtian grew serious, as he would certainly help Xia Liu recover if he could.

“Breaking through my realm, strengthening my Divine Sense, maybe then my affliction would disappear,”

“I see, then obtaining a few more of those stones could mean you’d break through,”

“Maybe, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s make some food; I’ve been hungry all day,” Xia Liu said with a forced smile.

…

Compared to the joyful duo, the atmosphere was significantly heavier inside a certain manor in Yanjing.

Only two bodies lay on the ground, completely covered by white sheets.

“Who did this?” asked a middle-aged man standing nearby, his expression grave, with a chill emanating from his body.

Several elderly men with silver hair stood beside him, their expressions similarly grim.

“According to the martial artists who were present at the scene, it was a young man,” someone said.

“A young man? How could he have the cultivation to kill Earth-Rank Peak warriors? Even if Elder Qiu is not at the Earth-Rank Peak, it’s quite close.”

“It’s not just that.”

“What do you mean?”

Everyone turned their attention to the elderly man who had spoken.

“From the information I received, Wu Qing and Wen Fu, after losing an auction, followed a loose cultivator named Shi Hentian along with the Zhao Family young master and Lin Family young master from the neighboring city to intercept this young man.”

“This battle involved five Earth-Rank Peak experts fighting against that young man, and they all got killed by him.”

Everyone present gasped in shock.

Five Earth-Rank Peak warriors against one young man, and they were all killed by him—this was too shocking.

Even if the young man had immense talent, he could not have reached a Heaven-Rank cultivation at his age.

So, after regaining their senses, they all believed that there was more to this situation.

“Elder Qiu, what is the cultivation of this young man?” the only middle-aged man present asked.

“Vice Family Head Yan, I believe that this young man is at least of the Earth-Rank Peak or higher. Otherwise, he could not possibly have killed five Earth-Rank Peak warriors in one go,” Elder Qiu responded gravely.

“Is there any clue to this young man’s whereabouts?” Yan Song asked calmly.

“I heard that the martial arts skills used by this young man were quite unique, belonging to Taiyi Sect’s Sect-Protecting Move, and the final move used was a Great Handprint, at least an Earth-Rank martial arts skill.”

“Taiyi Sect’s Sect-Protecting Move!”

“An Earth-Rank or higher Great Handprint!”

Hearing this information, everyone was uneasy—this surely meant a formidable enemy!

“The Taiyi Sect, huh…” Yan Song fell silent for a moment, then snorted coldly, “Even so, to dare kill important members of the Yan and Qiu families, no matter the faction or cultivation level, we must seek justice!”

“Vice Family Head, won’t this provoke a strong enemy unnecessarily?”

“Yes, I also feel it’s improper. Given that Wu Qing and Wen Fu intercepted him with the intent of killing and plundering, and now being counter-killed, it well indicates the other party’s strength.”

“Yes, if that person comes knocking, our families will surely…”

“Everyone, quiet down for a moment. Remember, there were hundreds of martial artists watching. If our families don’t take some action, where will our honor stand?” Elder Qiu seriously interrupted the others.

“Here’s a suggestion: each family should send out an Earth-Rank Peak warrior, and once we ascertain the details of this young man, we’ll decide how to handle the situation,” he continued.

“Hmm, this proposal is good; I’ll make arrangements once I return,” Elder Qiu agreed wholeheartedly with Yan Song’s suggestion. If there hadn’t been so many martial artists watching, perhaps they could have let this incident slide. However, now, with Wei Qing and Qiu Wenfu being high-ranking and respected members of their clans, to remain silent would diminish their family’s dignity.

Though the elders present felt it might be improper, both men were the authoritative administrators of the clans, so their suggestions had to be implemented.

Meanwhile, in a certain villa, Ouyang Lingtian was meticulously swallowing a strand of Condensing Energy Grass.
