Chapter 149: The Great Alchemist (Part 1)

  The sky was dark and gloomy, all his senses were gone, he was stripped naked by Ziyan, but he didn't feel a thing.

  Xuántiān saw through Zǐyán's body, but Zǐyán didn't know. Zǐyán saw through Xuántiān's body, and Xuántiān also didn't know. Perhaps in the mysterious realm, there is a cycle of cause and effect.

  The spiritual idea of Xuantian is all in the narrow space between the eyebrows.

  He gazed at the broken jade sword, always feeling that there was a voice calling out to him.

  But that sound, seemed extremely distant and extremely faint, no matter how much he concentrated his mind, he couldn't hear it clearly.

  After a long time, I occasionally heard three very faint words: Xuan Yuan Sword.

  It seemed like there were still voices behind, but the volume had weakened again, and Xuan Tian couldn't hear clearly.

  "Xuanyuan Sword?" Xuantian muttered to himself, it was the first time he had heard of this sword's name.

  The vast land of China is boundless, at least a hundred million miles in circumference, divided into five major regions: east, south, west, north and central.

  The four domains of East, South, West and North, occupy half of the entire Divine Land. Each domain is roughly one-eighth of the area of the Divine Land, and are occupied by three great second-rate aristocratic families - the Long Family, Zhou Family, Xuan Family, and one great second-rate sect - the Ba Jian Sect.

  Facing the largest area, occupying one-fifth of the Divine State's land, is the Tianxing Pavilion, the number one sect in the Divine State.

  Unless they are top-tier warriors, few fighters leave their native region and enter the sphere of influence of another.

  As for the warriors who have traveled through the five domains, they are even rarer, and only a few top-notch Tianjie strongmen may have this possibility.

  After all, Tianjie is a strong one. The lifespan is only a hundred years, and the land of Shenzhou is too vast, and it's impossible to walk through it all.

  So, although Xuantian was born into a second-rate aristocratic family, the Xuans, and had access to more things from a young age than ordinary people, he was still very young and knew very little about the entire Divine State.

  He had never heard of 'Xuanyuan Sword'. Not that others hadn't, but the fact that this 'Xuanyuan Sword' could enter his mind was unbelievable. Even Tianjie artifacts couldn't do it. It must be extraordinary.

  If it's 'Xuanyuan Sword', there are taboos. Asking someone abruptly may cause trouble.

  These thoughts had already occurred to him, regarding the 'Xuanyuan Sword', he naturally wouldn't casually ask others, his father Xuanhong was once a super strong being at the Tianjie boundary. Next time returning to the Huang family, he could find Xuanhong and privately inquire.

  Xuántiān had always wanted to 'see' the jade sword in his eyebrows, but he couldn't 'see' it. Normally, he was unable to concentrate his mind and block out all external sensations, and he couldn't fully withdraw into his eyebrows. This time, with the blood toxin in his body, he finally succeeded. He 'saw' that jade sword clearly.

  Having this opportunity, Xuantian naturally observed carefully.

  After careful observation, Xuantian discovered that this jade sword was not made of jade, but looked similar to white jade. However, there were differences, and although he couldn't quite put his finger on where the differences lay, he could sense that they were distinct. This jade sword emitted a sacred glow at all times, and looking at it gave him a completely different feeling from looking at white jade.

  And in this jade sword, the power contained within made Xuan Tian feel a sense of dread, as if even a slight leak would be enough to reduce him to ashes, leaving no remains.

  Xuantian's spiritual consciousness had been in the space between his eyebrows, observing that jade sword. After a long time, he slowly seemed to be tired, and his spirit fell into a daze, falling asleep.

  Xuan Tian woke up from his meditation, and his spirit and intention were no longer confined to the space between his eyebrows. His entire body was now sensitive to external stimuli. Xuan Tian tried to withdraw his spirit and intention back into the space between his eyebrows, but the 'Look Shield' jade sword would not allow it.

  There's a slight sour feeling in my body, and there's some mild pain on my left shoulder.

  Xuantian only remembered now that he was injured by the strange blood talisman released by Deng Wanchuan. The blood talisman exploded and turned into six blood lights, extremely fast. Even though Xuantian had cultivated Ghost Shadow Divine Movement to the third stage and possessed great power with extremely quick reflexes, he couldn't dodge that blood talisman. That blood talisman was likely a huge threat even to late-stage Pre-Heaven experts.

  Xuantian suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a simple wooden bed.

  His thoughts returned to before he fainted, when Deng Wanchuan escaped. Xuan Tian disregarded the poison spreading in his body and used his strong internal energy to strike and kill Deng Wanchuan. Afterwards, he himself also fainted, and from then on, he couldn't remember anything else.

  Xuántiān touched his left shoulder, where the wound had been bandaged with a white bandage.

  Suddenly, Xuantian's expression froze, his palm moved at lightning speed to the collar of his shirt, and the simple black ring was still there, Xuantian let out a sigh of relief.

  Apart from the few swords on his back, all of his family's wealth was in that unassuming 'Spatial Ring'. Since his wound had been bandaged by someone, then the ring hanging on his chest must have been seen by that person.

  However, this ring is pitch black, unless someone who knows the 'Space Ring' sees it, no one would think that this is the famous 'Space Ring'.

  "Wasn't it Zǐ Yán who saved me?" He thought back to the battle with Deng Wan Chuan, and beside him was only Zǐ Yán, no one else.

  Xuantian glanced around the room, although it was simple, but everything was decorated with a feminine touch, perhaps this was where Ziyuan lived.

  In an instant, the door creaked open and a stunning beauty in purple attire walked in. It was none other than Ziyan, holding a wooden bowl with steam rising from it.

  "Brother Huang Tian, you're awake!" As soon as she entered the door, Ziyan smiled sweetly.

  It was indeed Ziyan, and a warm feeling arose in Xuantian's heart. Although they had only met once, he had also killed Deng Qianfeng and the other black-clad men because of his prior grudge against them. Moreover, with her strength, it was unlikely that even Deng Qianfeng, Deng Huashan, and Deng Huaiqiu could do anything to her.

  And she owed Xuan Tian a life-saving favor, poisoned and unconscious in the Yin Wind Mountains, if no one had rescued and treated her, even if she hadn't been killed by the poison, she would have ended up as food for ferocious beasts.

  "Was it you who saved me?" Xuan Tian wanted to sit up, but after struggling for a moment, a sharp pain came from the wound on his left shoulder, and his body was also very weak, so he didn't manage to sit up.

  Zi Yan walked to the bedside and said, "Huang Tian brother, you were poisoned with blood toxin. Although the poison has been resolved, you lost too much blood and your body's damage hasn't recovered yet. You are extremely weak. Drink this bowl of Yu Can Bi Xue Tang (Jade Ginseng and Green Blood Decoction), and in just one day, you will be fully recovered."

  Having said that, he stretched out one hand and helped Xuan Tian sit up, while the other hand handed over the wooden bowl.

  "Thank you."

  Xuantian took over the wooden bowl, and saw that in the bowl was a red color lighter than blood, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

  He took a sip, the medicine wasn't scalding hot, just slightly warm, just right, with a hint of sweetness. Then, gulp after gulp, Xuan Tian downed the entire bowl of 'Jade Ginseng Emerald Blood Soup'.

  A refreshing air, along the throat, sank to the bottom of the abdomen in an instant. In a moment, a comfortable feeling surged from the Dan Tian, along the eight extraordinary meridians, and quickly spread to the four limbs and hundreds of bones.

  "What a powerful medicinal effect!" Xuan Tian's heart shook, having just drunk this bowl of 'Jade Ginseng Emerald Blood Soup', he felt that his body had recovered a lot, and a surge of energy was produced. He got out of bed and walked around without any problems.

  At this rate, it will indeed take only about a day or so to fully recover.

  Xuan Tian remembered that the poison he had ingested was extremely potent, otherwise it wouldn't have caused him to lose consciousness so quickly.

  The comfort in his body was almost as if he felt himself floating, it was wonderful and indescribable. That bowl of 'Jade Ginseng Emerald Blood Soup' from earlier must have been a holy medicine for healing wounds, its grade was extraordinary.

  "How long have I been unconscious?"

  Mentioning fainting, Ziyuan thought of the time she used the "Golden Needle Detoxification Technique" on Xuantian by the stream, stripping off his clothes. A flush appeared on her face, but this was something she would never mention, just like Xuantian would never tell her that he had seen her skinny dipping at the bottom of the lake.

  After a moment, Ziyuan adjusted her mood and said, "It's been a day."

  Xuān Tiān's face changed color in surprise, and he said: "One day? Just one day and my poison is already resolved. What kind of blood poison did I contract? How could it be so easily resolved?"

  Xuantian's heart secretly thought: I think that poison is quite potent?

  Zi Yan said, "The poison in you is not simple. The Blood Poison is a unique poison of the Alchemy Sect that can destroy the spiritual consciousness of warriors and turn them into blood corpses, becoming puppets of the Alchemy Sect."

  "Alchemical Blood Sect?" Xuan Tian's expression changed, and he exclaimed: "How could the Deng family have the Alchemical Blood Sect's exclusive poison on their hands?"

  For the Blood Refining Sect, Xuan Tian had heard of it since he was a child. This is a well-known demonic sect and evil sect on the continent of Shenzhou, which once competed with the dominant Tianxing Pavilion for supremacy as a first-rate sect.

  Moreover, Xuantian obtained the legacy of 'Jiuduan Old Man' and also promised to fulfill one of his dying wishes, which was to kill his rebellious disciple Duan Jianghe. However, Duan Jianghe had already defected to the Lianxue Sect, and it was because of the Lianxue Sect that Jiuduan Old Man's family was annihilated, ultimately leading to his lonely death in a stone chamber deep within the mountains.

  Deng Wanchuan, however, was the fourth elder of the Deng family in Nan Ye County. It was astonishing that he possessed the exclusive poison of the Blood Refining Sect. It was absolutely impossible for the Deng family to refine blood poison. The only possibility was that twenty years ago, the Blood Refining Sect, which had retreated to the overseas demonic domain, might have stretched out its hand again into the Divine State's territory!

  It remains to be verified whether Deng Wanchuan colluded with the Lianxue Sect or the Deng family colluded with the Lianxue Sect.

  Ziyan said: "The Blood Poison of the Alchemy Sect, based on its toxicity, is divided into different grades. The one you were poisoned with is a high-grade Xuan-stage poison. Luckily, I became a Xuan-level high-grade pill alchemist last month and refined some Xuan-stage pills, which happened to include an antidote. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to detoxify the blood poison."

  Xuān Tiān heard the words, slightly stunned for a moment. What blood poison, what Blood Refining Sect, all temporarily forgotten. He stared blankly at Zǐ Yán: "What did you say? What about Dān Yao Shī?"

  Zi Yan looked at Xuan Tian with a strange expression and said, "A top-grade dan medicine master?"
