Realms In The Firmament

“Well…” Meng Youjiang was hesitating. He didn’t say anything.

To only serve the master, to be willing to die for the master, and to devote his heart to the master were three different things. To serve the master, he didn’t need to give up his life. To be willing to die for the master, he might have to give up his life when the master needed him to. To devote his heart and soul to the master, he didn’t think he could do it!

“I will do anything he asks!” Meng Youjiang’s wife decisively said, “As long as he saves my son, I will do whatever he wants me to do! I can even be his concubine!”

Meng Youjiang was awkwardly embarrassed. He stared at the lady and said with a loud voice, “You stupid woman! Stop talking nonsense! What do I do if you become somebody else’s concubine?”

Bu Xiangfeng nearly laughed out, but he immediately coughed to cover the embarrassment. He said, “The lady was just saying. She just wanted to express her gratitude to Master Ye. I can understand it…”

“That’s right… She always talked nonsense when she was too excited.” Meng Youjiang hesitated, and then said, “Old Bu, we are friends. Truth to be told, my wife and I are both unconstrained for a long time… If we suddenly become followers of somebody, we may not be able to serve the master well… I think we will pick the second option. What do you think? We will risk our lives to do one thing for Master Ye. Business in the martial world should be done in the way of the martial world. We owe him once, and we will return the favor. If we are lucky, we may get our job done without getting ourselves killed. If we aren’t lucky, we are willing to give up our lives to return the favor!”

His wife didn’t say anything. She just listened. Apparently, she agreed with her husband.

Bu Xiangfeng said, “Of course. It is your decision to make. It doesn’t bother me which of the options you are going to choose… Well, since you see me as a friend of yours, I guess I should be frank.”

“Please, Brother Bu.” The man and the lady were both listening.

“What happened to your son was an accident…” Bu Xiangfeng pointed at the couple’s son. He sighed and said, “To be honest, the martial world is full of accidents like this. Don’t you agree? We are just lucky that accidents do not happen to us!”

“The City of Chaos, in fact, the entire Limitless Ocean has fallen into the suppression of the powerful forces. What just happened was only a small scale battle of many battles. It is such a misfortune that your son got involved…”

Bu Xiangfeng said, “However, when the next battle comes, everybody has to pick a side. Even though the Dark Wind Mountain is powerful, I am not sure if you can get away from it. Can you?”

“Everybody knows that these super powerful forces will have their final fight sooner or later! However, it is always the middle and small forces who die first in battles!”

Bu Xiangfeng said, “If anybody can seize the opportunity to join Master Ye’s Monarch’s Hall…”

The man and the lady both lit up their eyes, waiting for Bu Xiangfeng to finish his words.

Bu Xiangfeng smiled and said, “Think about it… No matter what happens, as long as you are still breathing, you are never going to die… The Hall of Life and Death would never let our own men die!”

The man and the lady’s eyes lit up like four spotlights.

‘That makes sense!’

‘We are powerful cultivators. That’s true. However, when the super cultivators start a fight in the martial world, we are just as weak as ordinary people compared to them.’

‘We will die if we get involved.’

‘There are a lot of superior cultivators in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. The Saint Origin Stage sounded incredible but compared to those super cultivators, we are nothing!’

‘Our son… He is too young, and he is always reckless… I am not sure if he will change after what happened to him. Maybe he will rush out to make troubles again after he is cured…’

“The Monarch’s Hall seems to be extraordinary… Look at Old Bu. He is working for the master now. Is he weaker than us? After all, this man is a descendant of the Great Master Ye…”

Meng Youjiang’s wife said, “Master Ye needs more men to follow him right now. If we promise to follow him, we will be highly spoken of. We must admit that if we come to follow him when he already reaches greatness, our loyalty will mean nothing to him…”

Meng Youjiang thought for a while and then looked at Bu Xiangfeng. Apparently, he needed advice.

Bu Xiangfeng nodded and smiled. “I am not going to tell you what to do. It is your own decision to make…”

“I see. We have to make the decision by ourselves.” Meng Youjiang tapped Bu Xiangfeng’s shoulder and showed gratitude.

“All in all, it is your decision to make. After all, the two options are two totally different paths… You can be two free cultivators, doing whatever you want in the world, or you can follow somebody else’s orders. They are two different lives. I don’t want you to be regretful in the future. One false step brings everlasting grief.” Bu Xiangfeng smiled.

“We understand.”

…

Ye Xiao was holding a bowl with some liquid in it. He walked into Room One. Feng’er, Du Qingkuang, and the other two men humbly stood up.

“I made this for your big brother. Feed him half of this liquid in the bowl and apply the other half on his wounds.” Ye Xiao said.

The Temporary Life Dan beads Ye Xiao gave to the patients were the best he could do. Erhuo did well in making those dan beads. Ye Xiao wanted to use some ordinary Temporary Life Dan beads, but all Erhuo made were supreme level. After giving the dan beads to the others, Ye Xiao regretted. Those things were so valuable that it would draw him unnecessary attention!

That was why he decided not to use any supreme dan beads for the treatment.

Otherwise, before he recruited enough men, some great force might come and kidnap him. He might end up making dan beads for some powerful force in this world for the rest of his life, and that was not a joke.

Feng’er took over the bowl and blew over the liquid. She wanted to sip it and see whether it was too hot to drink…

“Don’t!” Ye Xiao stopped her and said, “It is for the patient! If you sip a little, he won’t get enough.”

Feng’er was frightened, and her wrist shook. She nearly spilled some of the liquid. She was so scared and hurriedly used her Divinity Origin Stage power to become stable.

Du Qingkuang hurriedly came over and help. Half of the liquid was poured into Lei Dongtian’s mouth, while the other was applied on the wounds…

When the liquid was applied on the wounds, the four people were all shocked.

It was a miracle!

Half of the liquid had been poured into Lei Dongtian’s mouth, and it flowed all over his inner organs. The hole in his chest actually started to grow smaller…

Some new flesh was growing out from his wounds that fixed his broken chest…

The four people were all shocked!

Lei Dongtian felt his chest unbearably itchy. Compared to the pain, the itch was more unbearable to him. He knew he shouldn’t move, so he kept holding himself down. After a while, he was already soaked in sweat.

“I know it is really itchy. Just bear with it. Do not touch your wounds! They are healing.” Ye Xiao said, “You guys should keep an eye on him. Don’t let him touch his wounds. If he does, what I did would be wasted…”

The four people were all frightened, so they kept their eyes wide open and stared at their big brother.

“The liquid will cure his wounds. After this, he will survive. As for his cultivation… It takes time to recover, and he needs more medicine to help with his recovery. I am not that good at medical treatments, so I can’t do both at the same time.” Ye Xiao said, “I guess you should stay here for some time.”

The four of them were all surprised. ‘What does he mean? We know that these are two different kinds of things. How is it possible to do both treatments at the same time? If he can do that, he is not just a marvelous doctor, but also a god!’

‘Is he trying to look humble? Does he have to? We are definitely infatuated with him! Does he have to pretend humble to us?’

‘He truly is a marvelous figure who has lofty morals and noble character. What a skillful doctor! However, he does not stop at what he has achieved. I am impressed and can’t stop admiring him!’

These new followers did not know that Ye Xiao wasn’t being honest at all. Erhuo’s dan beads were actually much more incredible that they could cure the man and help him recover at the same time. Ye Xiao intentionally separated the treatment into two phases, just to earn more trust and appreciation from these people.

That was not an honorable thing to do, so Ye Xiao felt a little bit guilty, and that was the reason why he was so humble. However, they thought the marvelous doctor was being honest and honorable!

It was so true that anything was possible as long as one lived long enough to see it!

“Just take your time here and discuss your choice.” Ye Xiao said, “I won’t push you. Just make a choice. There are people waiting for me. I am off now.”

The four people nodded but kept staring at their big brother.

Ye Xiao didn’t hesitate to leave.

He couldn’t waste time. There were too many people waiting for him outside. Although they had the Temporary Life Dan beads, they did not have a long time to wait. He should take care of all those patients first before putting on a show to tell everybody how honorable he was!

He did it for Lei Dongtian, and what he needed to do was to do the same thing on the others…

Ye Xiao delivered the liquid to the next room with confidence…

…

After about two hours, he finally got to Meng Youjiang’s son. Meng Youjiang’s son was much more severely wounded than Lei Dongtian, but the liquid still saved him!

Ye Xiao held the bowl in his hand and made sure Meng Youjiang’s son drank up every bit of the liquid. The young man’s broken body started to grow fast. Without saying any useless words, Ye Xiao told them what he told everybody else and then turned over to leave. As a fake doctor, he was tired of repeating the same words again and again.

“Master Ye, please wait!” Meng Youjiang said.

They volunteered to be the last to see the marvelous doctor because they had more Temporary Life Dan beads than others. Besides, they needed to talk to Ye Xiao. What they did for the others had earned them a lot of appreciation from the others. At least they said thanks to them.

The young man was Ye Xiao’s last patient. In two hours, he did the same treatment on forty-seven men. These people were all healing fast at the moment. It was unbelievably efficient, and he didn’t fail even once!

“What is it, Master Meng?” Ye Xiao smiled, but he still looked tired.

He pretended to cover his tiredness. He did save quite a lot of people, but he did not use any of his energy. Erhuo did the hard work on the liquid. What he did was just diluting the liquid and bringing the liquid to the patients. Other than that, the most exhausting thing was to repeat the words he said to the others!

Apparently, he was trying to be a great actor to achieve the biggest interest. That was unbelievable!

“We made a decision. We will lead the three thousand and six hundred men in the Dark Wind Mountain to join the Monarch’s Hall! Please, accept our loyalty! Master!”

Meng Youjiang was a decisive guy. He had made the decision, so he wouldn’t hesitate.

Ye Xiao was shocked. Apparently, it was a surprise for Ye Xiao. He thought that after what happened, he would get some itinerant cultivators to join the organization. However, the Dark Wind Mountain was going to follow his orders!

Ye Xiao thought for a while and looked at the man and the lady’s eyes. He believed the couple was telling the truth, but he didn’t seem to be delighted. Instead, he was lost in thoughts.

“First of all, I hope that you had given it a second thought before you made the decision. Remember not to make any reckless decision. I don’t want you to regret it.” Ye Xiao said, “If you decided to join the Monarch’s Hall, you are definitely welcome. However, because of who I am and because of my ambition, the Monarch’s Hall will be involved in a lot of battles in the future.”

“Danger will fill our road.”

The man and the lady looked at each other. ‘He is being honest.’

However, it was impossible to stay away from danger while living in the martial world!
