Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Victory was inevitable. With the two deputy gang leaders killed, the fighting ceased, and the other soldiers surrendered. This took only half a day. Dongfang Hao was full of vigor and enthusiasm, and victory came too easily.

"Master, we haven't found Gang Leader Wu and Liu Xing." Chief Wang stepped forward to report.

"Captain Zhao, you've worked so hard leading the team to pursue the enemy leader. We must rescue Liu Xing. He deserves the most credit for this battle," Dongfang Hao ordered. The scouts were coordinated by Chief Wang, whose men had already reported Liu Xing's situation to him. They naturally understood the Pavilion Master's message, and he fully endorsed it.

"Yes, sir." Captain Zhao also realized that this battle was going so smoothly, as if it were divinely assisted. It turned out that there was a master helping him. But who was Liu Xing? He had never heard of him before. However, he did not hesitate and immediately set off.

Liu Xing and the Wu Gang leader fought a close battle, and now neither could defeat the other. This actual combat experience gave Liu Xing a new understanding: in different environments, under the influence of external forces, external forces can become both obstacles and aids. The key lies in how one harnesses these forces. His practice of the "Ice Water Art" has given him a natural affinity for water, a surprising discovery. As his mind merged with the water, he discovered that the water would respond to his control, automatically giving way and lending him strength. As a result, his movements in the water became more fluid and swifter, and his swordsmanship became even more powerful in the water.

A warship approached from afar, bearing Captain Zhao and his troops in pursuit. They spotted the two men fighting in the middle of the river. He had seen Gang Leader Wu before, but who was the other child? Could he be the Liu Xing the Pavilion Master had mentioned?

"Quick! Quick! Chase him! Don't let the old thief Wu get away!" Captain Zhao shouted loudly, deliberately using his internal energy to transmit the sound into the ears of Gang Leader Wu to disturb the enemy.

Gang Leader Wu was terrified. The pursuers were approaching so quickly, and he hated the imp standing in his way. His attention was distracted, and Liu Xing seized the opportunity to stab him in the arm, nearly severing it. Desperate, Gang Leader Wu decided to risk his life. He deliberately exposed himself to Liu Xing's attack, then used his internal energy to shift his heart half an inch to the left, severely wounding himself but sparing his life. He intended to use this as an opportunity to strike the imp dead with a single blow. Liu Xing fell for his trick, but still keenly sensing the movement of his heart, he fine-tuned his sword's tip to pierce it. But then, without warning, a strong sense of danger overtook him. Gang Leader Wu seized the opportunity, harnessing all his strength to deliver a powerful blow to the imp's head. A successful blow would shatter his brain and shatter his soul. Because the speed was too fast and the distance was too close, Liu Xing only had time to turn his head, and the palm hit his right shoulder. He felt a sharp pain, his entire arm was disabled, his lungs were severely damaged, and he fell into a coma.

Captain Zhao saw this scene on the boat and was immediately horrified. Did the great hero perish together with the enemy leader? He quickly sent sailors to jump into the water and rescue the two people aboard. The dagger was stuck in the chest of the Wu Gang leader and he was dead, but Liu Xing was seriously injured and unconscious. He had to go home for treatment immediately. There was a military doctor on the boat who treated the external injuries and performed bone setting and bandaging. However, the medical conditions were limited, so he had to go back to the headquarters immediately to ask Yao Lao for help to save his life. While sending someone to report to the Pavilion Master, Captain Zhao sent a small boat to personally escort Liu Xing to the headquarters.

Yao Lao is a guest elder of the Misty Rain Pavilion. Due to his special status, his position is second only to the Pavilion Master. As a member of the Jianghu, bloodshed and injuries are commonplace. With Yao Lao, a miraculous healer, the sect has avoided many casualties. Yao Lao rarely appears in public. Now in his seventies, he has served the Misty Rain Pavilion for over thirty years, with no disciples or descendants, living alone. It is said that thirty years ago, he encountered a disaster and was saved by the old Pavilion Master, brought back to the Misty Rain Pavilion, where he has remained ever since. Yao Lao is aloof and reluctant to communicate, but as a doctor, he is unwavering in his care and dedication to healing.

Liu Xing was rushed to the Yao Lao's hospital. Dongfang Qing, upon hearing the news, also rushed over. Seeing Liu Xing covered in blood and unconscious, she presumed him dead. She burst into tears, grief-stricken. Xiao Zi, tearful, hugged the young lady and comforted her. Yao Lao quickly examined Liu Xing's injuries, using his unique technique to force out the blood clots in his body. He then restored and sorted out his internal organs. He then cleaned the wounds previously treated by the military doctor with a fresh bath of liquid and applied a wound remedy to prevent infection. He also reconnected the broken bones and secured them with wooden splints. It took two hours of painstaking work to stabilize Liu Xing's external and internal injuries, leaving Yao Lao's forehead sweating from exhaustion. He then went into the pharmacy and collected various herbs. His technique was so deft that he didn't even need a scale, measuring the precise amounts simply by feel. His skill in dispensing herbs alone earned him the title of miracle doctor.

"Stop crying, you won't die. Go and boil the medicine." Yao Lao threw the medicine bag to Dongfang Qing and scolded her without any politeness, not giving the Pavilion Master's daughter any face at all.

Dongfang Qing was stunned, but when she heard that Liu Xing was not dead, she stopped crying immediately, and obediently took the medicine to the stove to boil it. She didn't know why she was so obedient. Usually, she just stretched out her hand to stretch out her hand to stretch out her mouth to open her mouth to eat and clothes were served. She only wanted to be served and never served others. It seemed that she was willing to do everything Liu Xing did. But how could she boil the medicine? She couldn't even light the fire, and her hands were full of ash. The smoke made her eyes unable to open, so she wiped her eyes with her hands, and now the dust and tears blended perfectly, and she instantly became a clown face. Xiao Zi was stunned, what happened to the young lady today. She shook her head and couldn't understand, but she quickly reacted and ran over to help.

Captain Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Xing's injury had stabilized. He clasped his fists to Yao Lao and said goodbye before leaving. Yao Lao didn't even look at him. He lay on the armchair, rocking and closing his eyes to rest.

Another hour passed, and the medicine was finally ready. Dongfang Qing carefully brought it to the bedside, having Xiao Zi gently help Liu Xing up. She then scooped up a spoonful of medicine, brought it to his lips to cool it, and carefully fed it to him. Liu Xing was still unconscious, and the medicine flowed down his throat. The speed had to be slow, otherwise the medicine would flow out from the corners of his mouth if he didn't control it properly. Dongfang Qing then took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped it clean for him.

After handling the relevant matters, Dongfang Pavilion Master handed over the battlefield cleanup and aftermath to Captain Li, and returned to Yanyu Pavilion, surrounded by his guards. He and his wife were heading to the pharmacy to visit Liu Xing. As he reached the door and was about to speak, his wife immediately grabbed his hand, stopping him. He looked in quietly. He was surprised to see his daughter, disheveled and with a tearful face. He was even more shocked to see her clumsily feeding Liu Xing medicine.

"Our Qing'er is in love now." The lady teased with a charming look. She has been well nourished recently and has become more beautiful and charming.
