“Sect Master.”

In the wilderness, Elder Ge asked again: “You and Palace Master Xi really have no relationship?”

“No.” Jun Changxiao replied.

Elder Ge believed him, yet shook his head saying: “What a pity.”

In his view, Jun Changxiao and Xi Jingxuan were simply a match made in heaven. The fact that the two had no emotional connection was truly unreasonable.

The Five Absolutes Evil Saint was dumbfounded.

How could this boy have broken through the Love Fate Realm if he had no relationship with that woman?

“Let’s go.”

Jun Changxiao activated his martial wings and flew toward the heavens.

The Demon Ridge Black Eagle spread its wings, carrying several hundred Immortal Corpse Puppets on its back as it followed closely behind.

Actually, Sect Master Jun also wanted to develop a vigorous, Joan of Arc-style romance with the beautiful women of this world.

But as the Myriad Ages Sect’s Sect Master, he still had to strive for the main quest. He simply had no time for romance and could only pretend to be a fool who seemed to have very low emotional intelligence.

Stop saying Sect Master Jun was single by ability, and stop calling him destined for solitude or a steel-straight man.

He simply didn’t want to flirt with girls or show off his romance to you all.

……

*Swoosh! Swoosh!*

The Demon Ridge Black Eagle retracted its wings and slowly landed on the演武场 (Martial Arts Training Ground). Several hundred Immortal Corpse Puppets jumped down.

“What are these?” The disciples were stunned.

Li Qingyang frowned: “Not a trace of life force—they’re all corpses!”

Ah?

Su Xiaomo, who had been about to approach, hurriedly retreated.

Zhou Hong kept his focus locked on the eight evil sword cultivators. His instinct told him these people must have been sword path masters when they were alive!

“Corpse puppets?”

Ye Xingchen thought to himself: “This method of preserving corpses so they never decay should have been lost long ago.”

Worthy of being Lord Ye Di—so knowledgeable and experienced.

*Swish! Swish!*

The Five Absolutes Evil Saint and Elder Ge flew over.

Both were at the Emperor level. The aura they emanated startled the disciples, who thought: “The Sect Master has recruited more powerful experts?”

After returning to the sect, Jun Changxiao first inquired about recent circumstances, then arranged the Immortal Corpse Puppets within Tiegu Mountain.

Due to their special nature, they definitely couldn’t be summoned out frequently. They could serve as one layer of protection guarding the sect.

After finishing these arrangements, he came to the Medicine Hall and took out all the ancient medical texts he’d obtained from the tomb, saying: “Elder Wei, these medical and pharmaceutical books were all left behind by the Hundred-Faced Medical Saint during his lifetime. The Medicine Hall members can use them for research.”

The Myriad Ages Sect had no advantage in the medical path.

These works from a Medical Saint could undoubtedly greatly enhance members’ accomplishments in medicine.

Elder Wei said with surprise: “The Hundred-Faced Medical Saint has passed away?”

In terms of seniority, he was junior to the Medical Saint.

In the past, he had greatly admired him, but unfortunately never had the chance to meet him.

Jun Changxiao told him about how the Hundred-Faced Medical Saint had performed weapon dissolution for his deceased wife. Elder Wei said with solemn respect: “Medical Saint Senior was truly a man of deepest affection—a true man and a model for our generation!”

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

Elder Wei, with your rich history of flirting, if you learned from the Hundred-Faced Medical Saint, you wouldn’t need to do anything your whole life except perform weapon dissolution at home every day.

“I also have some medicinal material seeds here. Have Sun Bukong and the others sort them out and begin planting according to the list I gave earlier.”

The greatest harvest from the tomb expedition was these seeds, because they could be used to refine middle-grade Qi Gathering Pills, Spirit Tempering Pills, and most importantly—Martial King Pills!

“Mm.” Elder Wei acknowledged.

Jun Changxiao added: “Oh right, I also have a Pure Heart Sacred Lotus here.”

“Pure Heart Sacred Lotus?” Elder Wei’s eyes widened.

That was a divine-grade medicinal material as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in the Xingyun Continent!

“However.”

Jun Changxiao said: “One petal is missing. I wonder if it will lose its spiritual essence.”

“It won’t.”

Elder Wei said: “As long as the root remains, even if all the petals are gone, they will slowly nurture and grow again.”

Divine-grade medicinal materials were extraordinary.

“That’s good then.”

Jun Changxiao said: “By the way, can the Pure Heart Sacred Lotus cure Elder Wei’s illness?”

“This…”

Elder Wei considered for a moment, then said: “I’m not certain.”

Just then, Jun Changxiao took out the Pure Heart Sacred Lotus and plucked off a petal, saying: “Then let’s try it.”

Elder Wei’s mouth twitched.

Although this divine-grade medicinal material could regenerate, if the plucked petals weren’t consumed immediately, their effectiveness would surely greatly diminish.

He couldn’t be certain whether it would work, yet the Sect Master plucked one without a second thought—wasn’t that too rash?

Never mind.

Better consume it first!

Elder Wei hurriedly placed the cool petal in his mouth and slowly chewed.

After swallowing, a cool sensation spread through his body, bringing waves of comfort.

“How is it?” Jun Changxiao asked.

Elder Wei remained silent for a moment, then shook his head: “No effect.”

He only felt his spirit was better than before. His cultivation still hadn’t recovered—he could still only burst forth with Emperor-level might but couldn’t condense heaven and earth attributes in his dantian.

Jun Changxiao said: “Doesn’t the Pure Heart Sacred Lotus eliminate all difficult and complicated diseases?”

Elder Wei said bitterly: “The so-called ‘eliminate all’ probably has an element of exaggeration. Consider Medical Saint Senior himself—didn’t he have miraculous healing hands, yet in the end couldn’t even treat his own wife?”

“True.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Elder Wei, don’t lose heart. As long as people remain, hope remains.”

“Ha ha ha.”

Elder Wei laughed heartily: “At my age, I’ve seen through things. Whether I can recover or not isn’t important. I only hope that in my remaining years, I can do my utmost to help you young people.”

“Sect Master!”

Just then, Sun Bukong said weakly: “We can search for a cure in the medical texts left by Medical Saint Senior!”

This fellow had considerable accomplishments in both medicine and pharmaceuticals, and was a member Elder Wei valued highly.

“Then what are we waiting for?”

Jun Changxiao said: “Hurry up and look, hurry up and search!”

“Yes!”

Sun Bukong hurriedly brought over stacks of secret texts and began reading with rapt attention.

As for the others, following the Sect Master’s instructions, they began sorting the seeds from several hundred spatial rings.

Setting aside the Qi Gathering Pills and Spirit Tempering Pills—because there were too many—the main focus was the Martial King Pills. After sorting and matching, there were a full ten thousand sets!

If all these were refined, they could instantly create ten thousand Martial Kings!

No wonder when Sect Master Jun first obtained so many seeds, he got so excited he burst out in his hometown dialect.

……

The next day.

The Medicine Hall members began soaking and planting seeds one after another. Elder Wei planted the Pure Heart Sacred Lotus in the most spiritually abundant area of the medicine garden.

Sun Bukong was immersed in the medical texts, unable to extricate himself.

These classics from the Medical Saint’s own hand were absolutely an opportunity for him. Whether he could make greater breakthroughs in medical skills depended entirely on his own fortune.

With everything properly arranged, Sect Master Jun didn’t need to manage it.

At this moment, he sat in his study, propping up his chin and murmuring: “I wonder if the Pure Heart Sacred Lotus can cure Palace Master Xi’s eye disease?”

“Sect Master.”

Li Qingyang walked in and said: “Should those two new arrivals be arranged as disciples or as elders?”

“Arrange them as disciples for now.” Jun Changxiao said.

The Five Absolutes Evil Saint had his soul origin controlled—even if he was made a disciple, he wouldn’t dare object.

As for Elder Ge, as a Martial Emperor-level powerhouse, he was indeed worthy of an elder position, but according to custom, there would definitely be an observation period first.

“Oh right.”

Jun Changxiao said: “That Five Absolutes Evil Saint fellow is an old-hand evil cultivator. Have him teach Mengying—it might help improve her cultivation.”

Tsk tsk.

Having an evil faction Martial Saint guide Yao Mengying—what exceptional treatment!
