Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

Meanwhile, back at his residence, Liu Xiong gritted his teeth in anger. His hands clenched into fists, his eyes wide with fury, he muttered to himself, "Sun Kang, I never imagined you could survive such a desperate situation! And in just half a month, you've already broken through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. Hmph, this future sect leader position should have belonged to me, but you forced me into it! Since you're so ruthless, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Meanwhile, Wu Feilong successfully returned to his sect. Upon entering the sect, he immediately went to his cave dwelling to begin his secluded cultivation. During this seclusion, he was determined to delve into the lifelong learning left behind by the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Refinements.

Speaking of this Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Refinements, he was truly a legendary figure. His life was filled with diverse interests; he was not only proficient in alchemy and weapon crafting, but also possessed extremely high attainments in formations. Furthermore, he was a rare wood-attribute cultivator, with an unparalleled understanding of the ways of plants. His creation, the *Hundred Refinements True Scripture*, integrated alchemy, weapon crafting, body refinement, and soul refinement methods, fusing the strengths of numerous schools of thought. If combined with the mysterious and unpredictable Tai Xu Cauldron, his cultivation would undoubtedly be twice as effective.

Wu Feilong carefully perused the various martial arts manuals left behind by the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Refinements, among which a movement technique called "Thunder Light Step" greatly intrigued him. It was said that this technique was incredibly fast, like lightning streaking across the sky. The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Refinements had relied on this miraculous Thunder Light Step to easily escape from numerous powerful enemies. Thinking of this, Wu Feilong felt a surge of anticipation. If he could master the Thunder Light Step, it would undoubtedly provide him with greater protection when traversing the martial world. Therefore, he eagerly began to try and cultivate the Thunder Light Step according to the instructions in the manual…

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Sun Wang gently knocked on the door and said in a soft voice, "Little brother, someone's looking for you outside!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Feilong, who was deep in thought inside the room, slowly stood up, pondering to himself: I know very few people, so why would someone suddenly come to my door? Filled with doubt, he walked out of the room and asked Sun Wang, "Do you know who this person is?"

Sun Wang shook his head and replied, "I'm not too sure. I only know that there was an old man and a young woman."

Filled with curiosity and confusion, the two walked together toward the reception hall. When they stepped inside, they found that the visitors were none other than Mu Yao and Zhang Daojing, along with several guards standing respectfully to the side.

When He Wei saw Wu Feilong enter, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he introduced him warmly: "Kang'er, come here quickly. This is Mr. Zhang Daojing, a highly respected elder of Muchuntang. He is also a legendary doctor in the martial arts world who can bring the dead back to life! And the beautiful young lady standing next to him is the eldest daughter of the Mu family."

Wu Feilong quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Zhang Daojing, and earnestly said, "Junior Sun Kang pays his respects to Senior Zhang. I have taken the liberty of inviting you here today, and I humbly request your assistance in saving my mother."

Zhang Daojing nodded in understanding, then walked to the bedside and sat down. He gently placed three fingers on Li Ling's wrist and began to carefully take her pulse. After a moment, he examined Li Ling's eyelids. Then, he stood up and said confidently, "Don't worry, your mother's illness can be cured with just one 'Awakening Eye Pill,' restoring her eyes to their former clarity."

Wu Feilong respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to the senior before him, earnestly saying, "I beg your help, senior, to refine that miraculous Awakening Pill for me!"

The senior nodded slightly, indicating his willingness to help, but then frowned and said with some difficulty, "Alchemy is not too difficult for me, but the other medicinal materials are easy to find. It is only this Bright Eyes Grass that is really difficult to obtain. I can't even find it in my carefully managed herb garden."

Hearing this, Mu Yao fell into deep thought. After a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had remembered something important, and she quickly said, "Bright Eye Grass? I seem to remember it... That's right! I saw it in the Monster Mountain Range before, it was growing next to the Crimson Essence Grass!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Feilong turned around and left impatiently, saying, "Then I'll head to the Monster Mountain Range right now to search!"

However, Mu Yao quickly reached out and grabbed him, scolding, "Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even know what the Bright Eyes Grass looks like. How can you find it if you go there rashly like this? Let me go with you."

At this moment, Zhang Daojing, who was standing to the side, frowned and shouted angrily, "Yao'er, stop fooling around! The Demon Beast Mountain Range is full of dangers. How can you easily set foot there!" As he spoke, he took out a thick book from his bosom, threw it to Wu Feilong, and explained, "This is the 'Collection of Herbs,' which records in detail the patterns of various spiritual herbs and the methods of identifying them. Naturally, it also includes the relevant information about the Eye-Brightening Herb."

Wu Feilong hurriedly caught the book, and bowed deeply to Zhang Daojing as if it were a priceless treasure, saying with tears of gratitude, "Thank you very much, senior."

“Kang’er…” Although Li Ling didn’t know about the Monster Mountain Range, she guessed it was extremely dangerous and wanted to call out to him, but Wu Feilong had already flown away on his sword.

After Wu Feilong had walked away into the distance, Zhang Daojing first glanced at He Wei expressionlessly, then slowly shifted his gaze to the group of people beside him. He Wei understood immediately and quickly said to the others, "You all stay here and help look after things for now. I'm going to have some tea and a chat with Doctor Zhang." With that, he led Zhang Daojing toward the study.

Stepping into the study, He Wei closed the door behind him and then asked impatiently, "Dr. Zhang, has there been a new development in your eye condition that makes it inconvenient for you to speak about it in front of others?"

Zhang Daojing nodded without saying much, and directly reached out to grasp He Wei's wrist, beginning to carefully take his pulse and diagnose him. After a moment, Zhang Daojing released his hand, his expression grave, and said, "Sect Leader He, you are now deeply poisoned, which makes this matter much more difficult."

Upon hearing this, He Wei was startled, and his whole body trembled involuntarily. He had always trusted Zhang Daojing's medical skills and character implicitly, and now he had no doubt that what the other man said was true. So, he hurriedly asked, "Divine Doctor, what kind of poison has caused my illness? Is there any antidote?"

Zhang Daojing frowned, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "In my judgment, this poison should be a rare poison that specifically targets the soul. To be honest, with my current abilities, it is indeed difficult to find a good antidote in a short time. All I can do right now is try to suppress the poison for you."

Hearing this, He Wei couldn't help but sigh. While expressing his gratitude, his mind raced. He had barely stepped outside the Heavenly Sword Sect these past few days, and the number of people he'd encountered was extremely limited. So, when, where, and through whom had this poison been administered? And what was their purpose in wanting to kill him? A series of questions flooded his mind, leaving him distraught.

However, He Wei, being the leader of a sect, quickly regained his composure. He looked at Zhang Daojing earnestly and said, "Divine Physician, please keep this secret for me. If others in the sect find out that I am poisoned, it may cause unnecessary panic and chaos."
