Chapter 264: Chapter 264

"Of course I can manage, Don't treat me like an old man," Tian Yi protested somewhat.

Xiaoyao looked at Tian Yi, then slowly said, "Aren't you just an old man?"

"Cough cough, after eating and resting a bit, I'll come find you. There are many things I want to discuss with you. How about this, let's eat together," Tian Yi said after dry coughing. He indeed had many things he wanted to chat with Xiaoyao about now.

Even if today's events hadn't happened, Tian Yi would have wanted to find Xiaoyao to understand what exactly he had comprehended. Now it went without saying, not only did he need to ask about this comprehension, but he also wanted to exchange knowledge about the medical path with Xiaoyao.

"Fine, but I'll say upfront, I won't talk with you all night. I still need to sleep, and tomorrow I need to read medical books. By the way, I want to read your medical books, you know about this, right?" Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that until now, they seemed not to have discussed his request to read the medical books here.

"You can read whatever you want, even if you want to see the Medicine Immortal Classic," Tian Yi now naturally let Xiaoyao read freely. So what if it was the Medicine Immortal Classic? Xiaoyao might have value even higher than the Medicine Immortal Classic.

Most importantly, Tian Yi was the type who hoped to see others' medical skills become as advanced as possible. He wasn't the jealous type. This had to be said to be Xiaoyao's good luck, encountering Tian Yi as sect master.

Not every Medicine Immortal Ridge sect master was . The previous generation's sect master was someone who didn't like seeing others do well. If it had been the previous generation, Xiaoyao would definitely have been refused entry.

"Since that's the case, I won't be polite about it," Xiaoyao didn't care whether he could see the Medicine Immortal Classic or not, but if he could see it, why refuse?

"Mm, let's go eat. I believe they've already prepared everything," Tian Yi said very happily.

Xiaoyao nodded, then looked around as if searching for someone.

"Young Master Xiaoyao, what are you looking for?" Princess Ke Xin asked from the side.

"Princess Ke Xin, just call me Xiaoyao, don't add 'Young Master'," Xiaoyao habitually said this again, though he knew the other party definitely wouldn't change how she addressed him. But he still said it.

Then, without waiting for Princess Ke Xin's usual response, Xiaoyao continued, "I'm looking for Dongfang Wuqing. I originally wanted to invite her to eat together, but it looks like she's not here, so never mind."

"Dongfang Wuqing? Do you know her? When I came out, I hadn't seen her. Has she been here?" Princess Ke Xin asked very puzzledly.

Princess Ke Xin didn't know about Xiaoyao knowing Dongfang Wuqing, because when Dongfang Wuqing was here, she was still circulating energy to heal. Although Xiaoyao had cured her, she wasn't truly healed and still needed some recuperation.

"Mm, I know her. She wasn't here just now either?" Xiaoyao was also somewhat puzzled. He had been busy just now and hadn't paid attention to Dongfang Wuqing's whereabouts. After all, he and Dongfang Wuqing weren't very familiar, not to the point where he would pay attention to her.

According to Princess Ke Xin's words, Dongfang Wuqing seemed to have been absent all along. This left Xiaoyao confused, why did she appear briefly then disappear? What was she doing?

Xiaoyao didn't know that at this time, Dongfang Wuqing was doing something, she was using a situation to create a scenario to accomplish one of her goals.

What specifically, Xiaoyao couldn't know right now, though it was somewhat related to Xiaoyao. The cause of this matter was created by Xiaoyao.

Perhaps Xiaoyao would never have thought that his affairs could actually affect the entire orthodox alliance...

"How do you know her..." Princess Ke Xin asked as she followed Xiaoyao to the dining area. Xiaoyao also answered Princess Ke Xin's question, of course only briefly, saying what could be said.

Afterward, Xiaoyao followed Tian Yi's schedule and exchanged knowledge about the medical path with him under the starry sky. This was also a good thing for Xiaoyao, he learned quite a lot too.

Unknowingly, the two chatted until late at night. Only with Princess Ke Xin's reminder did they disperse and return to their rooms to rest, preparing to continue tomorrow evening.

Why not talk during the day?

During the day, Xiaoyao wanted to read medical books, while Tian Yi should do some sect master duties, especially at this time when there were quite a few matters to handle.

Most importantly, Tian Yi needed to discuss today's events with various sects.

Of course, the matter of compensation for saving people.

Medicine Immortal Ridge was a neutral sect. Saving people was fine, but medical fees had to be collected. Earlier, even providing a venue required rent, how could they miss this money-making opportunity? Tian Yi definitely wouldn't let it pass. He wanted to get more so Medicine Immortal Ridge's funds could increase.

Medicine Immortal Ridge was a medical sect. The medicinal materials needed by medical sects could never be satisfied, meaning no amount of money was ever enough.

Xiaoyao now clearly understood one thing, Tian Yi was not only a physician but also a profiteer.

At the beginning of their conversation, Xiaoyao had already asked, Medicine Immortal Ridge mobilized everyone, contributing effort and medicine. They couldn't possibly provide this as free welfare to these people, right? At that time, Tian Yi showed his profiteer side, telling Xiaoyao he would settle accounts with the major sects.

Although Tian Yi spoke very tactfully then, Xiaoyao saw the fervor and cunning in Tian Yi's eyes, the look of a profiteer seeing money.

The next day, after getting up, Xiaoyao heard that the profiteer had gone early to negotiate compensation. However, the profiteer had already instructed his sect members that all of Medicine Immortal Ridge's classics could be opened to Xiaoyao for free viewing.

Since that was the case, Xiaoyao said nothing more and went directly to Medicine Immortal Ridge's library to read medical books. This place was indeed worthy of being the foremost medical sect, the medical books here were unavailable elsewhere. Many were ones Xiaoyao had never seen, which was very good for him.

Looking at this situation, Xiaoyao felt he might need to stay at Medicine Immortal Ridge for several more days. This might make some people anxious, some people were waiting outside Medicine Immortal Ridge for Xiaoyao to appear so they could surround and kill him.

Under these circumstances, Xiaoyao staying a few more days seemed better. Princess Ke Xin hoped Xiaoyao would stay here for a while, giving her time to contact Guxing and others to come help resolve this predicament.

However, Xiaoyao refused this suggestion. He didn't want to trouble Guxing and the others. His situation wasn't very difficult, he wasn't truly unable to leave.

Xiaoyao explained to Princess Ke Xin that if he wanted to leave, those people outside wouldn't even notice his departure. He hoped Princess Ke Xin understood this point and not worry about him.

Princess Ke Xin was originally still worried, but when Xiaoyao disguised himself as another person in front of her, she knew she didn't need to worry and went to work hard on cultivation.

This time, helping Xiaoyao block others' attacks, she felt her powerlessness. If she encountered such a situation next time, she hoped she wouldn't need others' help or other factors to resolve problems. Latest content publıshed on NoveI(F)ire.net

Regarding this, Xiaoyao didn't pay much attention, just mentioned some things about cultivation. He didn't understand the Gentle Heart Scripture, but he understood some principles of the martial path. When one principle was understood, all principles became clear. He quickly found the key points, which was very helpful for Princess Ke Xin's cultivation.

At this time, Princess Ke Xin was even more certain that Guxing's rapid progress wasn't just due to talent and effort, part of the reason was Xiaoyao's existence.

Just , Xiaoyao and Princess Ke Xin conducted their respective cultivation at Medicine Immortal Ridge. Yue Qingling continued observing the martial arts assembly's progress. After so many people were injured, they still continued the martial alliance leader election.

At the martial arts assembly, fighting occurred every day and seemed to be getting more serious. This could be imagined from the daily number of people sent to Medicine Immortal Ridge.

Days passed one by one with daily struggles. The wounded sent later seemed increasingly severe, because these people were all experts among experts. The power levels in their duels were too great, one careless moment resulted in serious injury, another careless moment resulted in death.

While studying medical books, Xiaoyao also helped Medicine Immortal Ridge handle several wounded. Of course, all this was compensated. For the half-day of help before, Tian Yi had also given Xiaoyao compensation, quite generous without deductions.

As a qualified profiteer, one must never shortchange one's own people. Otherwise, you only get immediate benefits, not long-term ones.

Among these wounded, what Xiaoyao found somewhat miraculous was that about seven or eight days later, he helped treat someone severely injured and near death, this person seemed to be Feng Chi. The scene at that time was very interesting. Feng Chi, who had been shouting to fight and kill Xiaoyao, ultimately needed Xiaoyao to save his life.

It had already been interesting before when Feng Chi's daughter needed Xiaoyao to save her life. Now this situation was even more interesting, even he himself needed Xiaoyao to save him.

At this time, Xiaoyao didn't make things difficult. He very straightforwardly helped save the person, though he did take some compensation from Medicine Immortal Ridge!

However, Xiaoyao was somewhat strange at that time. After finishing treatment, he asked Feng Hai one question: how did you get this injury?

Why would Xiaoyao ask this? It wasn't curiosity, but because he could see that Feng Hai's injuries were unusual, they were actually from the Demon Cult's Heavenly Demon Technique. Although this Heavenly Demon Technique had been lost for a long time and no one in the world could recognize it, Xiaoyao knew clearly and couldn't be wrong.

The Demon Cult had now found the Demon Palace and should have also found the Heavenly Demon Technique cultivation method from within. Although incomplete, it was only missing the highest level technique and didn't affect their cultivation.

From the traces of this Heavenly Demon Technique, this person's Heavenly Demon Technique wasn't weak. Given the Heavenly Demon Technique's special nature, this person should only be able to practice it with relatively high Demon Cult bloodline.

Could it be that after the Dongfang sisters, there were still other people?
