After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 97 - Feeding Medicine
Chapter 97: Feeding Medicine
Jiang Huai’s eyes were innocent.
And very serious.
While Jishi True Person guided him to watch the memories of his past sword enlightenment and the moments of wielding his sword, Jiang Huai was already fully focused, engraving everything into his brain.
Most of the time, because of different experiences, everyone’s Way of the Sword is different. Even if sword techniques can be passed down, the sword intent is almost unique to the individual and cannot be easily comprehended by others. Just like Chu Xianning’s Silver Radiance, Jiang Huai can teach Wen Wanwan the techniques of Silver Radiance, but he cannot teach her Chu Xianning’s sword intent.
Sword intent is generally something that cultivators of the seventh realm can comprehend, touching upon the power of the laws of heaven and earth. Aside from the techniques, the real core of Chu Xianning’s Silver Radiance is that once the sword is wielded, it must hit, and it cannot be dodged by any means, even if it’s through dematerialization, teleportation, or fleeing to the ends of the earth. The moment the sword is swung, it has already landed on the opponent.
But indeed, Jiang Huai only took three days to learn Chu Xianning’s Silver Radiance. However, because he did not have the cultivation of the seventh realm, he could not wield the power of the laws of heaven and earth and could not achieve the certainty of hitting like Chu Xianning. Yet, his sword became incredibly fast.
And what he had just seen were the images of Jishi True Person’s Primordial Life and Death Sword.
The Primordial Life and Death Sword was the sword technique that Jishi True Person learned after giving up the Way of the Pill and turning to the Way of the Sword. After healing the evil cultivator, Jishi True Person truly felt the powerlessness of relying solely on the Way of the Pill. Therefore, he abandoned alchemy for swordsmanship, and in the Way of the Sword, he gradually integrated his understanding of alchemy. When wielding his sword, he used himself as the alchemy furnace and the sword as the alchemy fire. After striking someone with his sword, he could absorb the opponent’s lifespan for his own use or convert his own lifespan into death energy and infuse it into the opponent’s body.
He practiced the Primordial Life and Death Sword for three hundred years, and in the end, he turned all the vitality he had accumulated over those years into death energy and beheaded the evil cultivator, severely injuring himself and beginning to prepare for his own afterlife.
The evil cultivator had almost destroyed everything for him. After killing the evil cultivator, he felt no desolation, only relief.
However, soon after avenging his great revenge, he was left with nothingness.
He had lived for a thousand years and knew he had no chance of ascending, so he merged Burial Dragon Valley with his small world, turning it into his place of inheritance, waiting for someone destined to come.
“Swing the sword,” Jishi True Person said.
Jiang Huai turned his head and saw that Ye Ning’s sword had also been sent to this secret realm by Jishi True Person. Jiang Huai gently grasped the hilt of Ye Ning’s sword. At this moment, Ye Ning was drowsy because just sending him here had exhausted all the spiritual energy she had accumulated over the past six months.
Ye Ning was one of the rare spirit swords that could accumulate spiritual energy on its own, and the sword spirit within it was not an ordinary sword spirit.
Jiang Huai held the sword in his hand, recalling all the images he had seen earlier, and swung a sword in the void. The spiritual energy at the edge of the sword faintly exuded a hint of gray. For this sword, he spent three months of his lifespan. As the sword was swung, ripples spread across the space.
“Hey, isn’t this Uncle Jishi’s Primordial Life and Death Sword?”
Ye Ning muttered softly on the side, “Master, you’ve learned it already?”
“I’ve understood a bit.”
“Uncle Jishi, I didn’t lie to you, did I?” Ye Ning’s voice was playful.
“He has learned thirty percent,” Jishi said after a long silence, and a piece of jade fell in front of Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai heard him continue, “This jade contains all my understanding of the Primordial Life and Death Sword. I leave it to you to contemplate after you leave the secret realm.”
Jiang Huai carefully put away the jade and looked at the pure white in front of him, asking softly, “What is the fourth trial?”
“It’s a promise.”
The space in front of Jiang Huai suddenly twisted for a moment, and a hazy figure quietly appeared in front of Jiang Huai. It was a man in white robes. Although Ye Ning had been calling him Uncle Jishi, the man looked young and handsome, especially youthful, but his eyes were particularly profound.
“Having passed my three trials proves that you are qualified to inherit everything that belongs to me. But in my life, there is one wish that remains unfulfilled, and I want you to promise me one thing.”
“Please tell me.”
“My wife Yao Miao loved tranquility in her life. Her legacy secret realm requires a cultivator of the Divine Transformation tenth level to enter. The secret realm of Burial Dragon Valley is about to end, and I will give you the opening talisman of Burial Dragon Valley. I hope that when you are free in the future, you will go to the Southern Region for me, see the remnant soul of Yao Miao for me, and ask her… if she is willing to see me. If she is unwilling, you can return to Burial Dragon Valley and let me know.”
“Just… that’s it?”
“Just that,” Jishi’s eyes were calm, without a trace of sadness, but also without a trace of joy.
“I promise,” Jiang Huai nodded lightly.
“I currently have no spiritual energy and cannot swear by the Dao, but this is something within my power. A favor as small as a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Today, Jishi True Person saved my friend, and I will certainly not disappoint his expectations. When I reach the tenth level of Divine Transformation, I will definitely bring Jishi True Person’s words to her.”
Jishi True Person smiled lightly, “You are willing to go to such lengths for your friend, so why wouldn’t I believe you?”
Jiang Huai took a deep breath and said softly, “Please tell me the method to save my friend.”
“That Dragon Crystal is the way to salvation,” Jishi True Person raised his hand, and a green ancient book appeared in front of Jiang Huai.
“On page three hundred seventy-two, it records the method to heal her. Who did you apprentice your alchemy from?”
“Qian Yuan True Person in the Qian Yuan secret realm. I learned a lot from his alchemy ancient books.”
“Qian Yuan, has he ascended? Or did he die of old age?”
“He has passed away.”
“Hahaha, that fellow was also my close friend. Once, we discussed the Way of Alchemy day and night without rest. It seems we both couldn’t escape the constraints of the heavenly Dao.”
Jishi’s voice carried a bit of emotion, and after a moment, he raised his hand, and a blood-red fruit appeared in front of Jiang Huai.
“To use your body as an alchemy furnace and refine the Dragon Crystal, you need to temper your body to a level that can accept the Dragon Crystal. If you and she each eat half of this Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit, you can use the method in that green book to heal her injuries. Alright, next, I will study your alchemy formation and will not spy on the two of you. After you have healed her, use this spirit jade to open the legacy secret realm and come find me.”
After saying that, the space in front of Jiang Huai twisted, and he was sent back to the cave he had arrived at earlier.
……
Jiang Huai opened the green book.
The green book was the alchemy legacy that Jishi practiced, which also contained many of his own insights. Jiang Huai didn’t have time to look at the rest but directly turned to page three hundred seventy-two as Jishi had mentioned, and found the method.
Previously, Jishi True Person had wrapped Bai Li in the green jade spirit, which could only provide her with vitality, while the Death Command within the Dragon Crystal was continuously destroying her vitality. To completely save her, Bai Li had to refine the Dragon Crystal. The Death Command would naturally have no effect on her as a half-dragon.
But Bai Li was seriously injured and weak, and even if she ate half of the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit, she wouldn’t be able to refine the Dragon Crystal. Therefore, Jiang Huai needed to assist her.
The Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit in front of him could give his body a trace of dragon qi, not rejected by the Dragon Crystal’s aura. The Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit grew on the spiritual tree that sprouted from the heart of a dragon’s corpse. Jiang Huai was flipping through the ancient book, confirming the steps, and divided the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit in his mouth into two halves. He forced one half into Bai Li’s mouth and ate the other half himself. His body quickly became hot, and the medicinal power of the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit began to take effect.
Jiang Huai also took out the Dragon Crystal, looking at the method written on page three hundred seventy-two, refining the Dragon Crystal, and then using his body as an alchemy furnace to refine the Dragon Crystal into absorbable dragon marrow, then infusing it into her body.
Wait, that’s not right?
Jiang Huai scratched his head.
What does infuse mean?
“Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning.”
“Eh? What is it?”
“Go to sleep, don’t wake up unless I call you.”
“...Oh.”
The innocent little spirit of the sword obediently continued to sleep soundly within the sword.
Jiang Huai seemed to suddenly understand what Jishi True Person meant when he said he was going to contemplate his pill formation and would not spy on the two of them.
Jiang Huai lowered his head and glanced at the girl who had just consumed half a Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit and whose body had transformed back from a white snake into Bai Li. Her skin still bore the marks of lacerations, but they were being healed by the green jade spirit, causing her body to tremble continuously. Fortunately, her eyes were still open, staring unblinkingly at Jiang Huai in front of her.

“I… I’ve found a way to save you.”
“That’s amazing,” Bai Li said in a trembling voice.
“It’s just… the method might be a bit strange.”
“What is it?”
“Well… you should close your eyes and rest for a while.”
Jiang Huai’s head was spinning, and Bai Li obediently closed her eyes.
Jiang Huai bowed his head.
He gritted his teeth, wondering what he should be thinking about at this moment.
Bai Li lay on the ground, her body naked and smeared with blood. He looked up at the dim cave, his mind starting to wander uncontrollably. The first thing that came to mind was Chu Xianning’s soft and moist lips, but thinking about her at this time felt terribly wrong.
So what should he think about? Jiang Huai’s thoughts suddenly turned to Luo Yueguan.
Luo Yueguan was very enticing.
He had already extracted the dragon crystal, using the method recorded in the Emerald Record to find the crystal’s weak spot, opening it, and placing his hand on the dragon crystal to start refining its medicinal power. Soon, a tenth of the dragon crystal was assimilated into his body. Even though he had consumed the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit, it seemed that his human body couldn’t perfectly bear the power of the dragon crystal. Even if he tried not to let his thoughts wander, his skin was burning intensely, and Jiang Huai Jr. was very aware of it. Jiang Huai lowered his head, feeling very ashamed, but at this moment, it seemed he had no other choice but to try this method.
About the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
Jiang Huai gently poked Bai Li’s cheek.
Bai Li slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Huai’s palm near her lips.
Her eyes opened just a sliver, and then she asked softly, “Is this medicine?”
“Yes.”
“Oh…”
Bai Li obediently extended her tongue and licked the medicinal liquid clean, not leaving a single drop.
