[Ding]
[Detected that the host has killed twenty Hundred-Eyed Birds, resistance to Demonic Corruption +20, Sanity +20, Strength +50.]
[Detected that the host fought against Xia He, Sect Leader of the Tianxuan Sect, and Elder Pipa, etc. After evaluation by this system, Sword Qi +100, Sword Intent +100, Sword Realm Strength +50.]
[Detected that the host performed exceptionally, avoiding the destruction of the Tianxuan Sect to a great extent, rewarding the host with Skill Evolution Point * 1, which the host can use to evolve 'Dao Pattern Eye' and 'Blood Qi Berserk'.]
The system's voice slowly disappeared in Xu Ming's mind, and Xu Ming's consciousness slowly recovered.
When Xu Ming opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
"Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?"
In Xu Ming's mind, the three classic questions of life popped up.
But soon, as his consciousness gradually cleared, Xu Ming recalled the great battle he had with Xia He.
He only remembered that Xia He died at that time, exploding into a cloud of blood mist, and then Mo Zhu'er seized the Tianxuan Sect's Dragon Vein and left.
As for himself, he was also exhausted and unable to hold on any longer, so he lost consciousness and fell from the sky.
It seemed that everything should be over, and he was still alive.
"Yo, kid, you're awake." An old man's voice entered Xu Ming's ears.
Xu Ming turned his head and saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting at his bedside, looking very otherworldly.
If there were a concrete image of Hua Tuo from Blue Planet, then in Xu Ming's imagination, it should be like this.
At first, Xu Ming didn't recognize him, mainly because he should have taken a bath, changed into clean clothes, and combed his hair, making him look clean all over.
But after taking a closer look, Xu Ming remembered that this old man was the "doctor" who was trapped in Three Stone Peak.
He remembered that the old man's self-introduction was that his name was "Undying," a very strange name, but he was a miraculous doctor, and even when he was in Wudu, Xu Ming had heard of this old man's reputation.
This old man had two that he wouldn't save.
One was "He won't save those who aren't on the verge of death."
The other was "He won't save those who aren't hopeless in the eyes of the world's famous doctors."
Logically speaking, such a miraculous doctor should be highly respected throughout the entire cultivation world, and many people must owe this miraculous doctor their lives.
But he just didn't know who this old man had offended to be imprisoned in Three Stone Peak, and the old man didn't say.
And in the world, it was only rumored that this old man suddenly disappeared one day, and there were no more rumors about him. Most people thought he had gone into seclusion.
"Old Sir."
Xu Ming tried to sit up and salute, and he sincerely respected this old gentleman.
But Xu Ming found that he couldn't move his arms at all. Both arms were wrapped like mummies.
"Don't move, you need to recuperate now." Undying stroked his beard, "You're really too reckless. It's only because you met me that I could treat you in time. Otherwise, if I weren't here, even if it were two days later, the spiritual veins and blood in your arms would be completely necrotic, and no one could save your hands. And with your current realm, you can't regenerate limbs."
"Thank you, Old Sir," Xu Ming said gratefully.
"You don't need to thank me. We wouldn't have been able to get out without you." Undying stood up, "You should recuperate well during this period. You should be fine in a month."
Undying walked out of the room and shouted to the outside, "Xu Ming is awake. If you want to come in, come in quickly."
As soon as Undying's voice spread, Wang Xuan walked in.
Seeing Wang Xuan, Xu Ming was stunned. He thought Qing Wan or Yan Han would be waiting for him to wake up, but he didn't expect it to be Wang Xuan.
Looking at Xu Ming's eyes, Wang Xuan immediately guessed what Xu Ming was thinking.
Wang Xuan sat on Xu Ming's bedside and slowly said, "Qing Wan and Wu Yanhan both suffered some minor injuries. In the past two days, they have been guarding your bedside until you were out of danger, and then I asked them to go back to recuperate."
"May I ask, Senior, how many days have I been unconscious?" Xu Ming asked.
"Four days," Wang Xuan replied.
"Tianxuan Sect now...?" Xu Ming asked again.
Wang Xuan organized his words, trying to tell Xu Ming more things in simple terms: "Xia He is dead, and those Tianxuan Sect cultivators who stood on Xia He's side are either dead or have fled.
In addition, the Tianxuan Sect's great formation is completely destroyed, and our Tianxuan Sect's Dragon Vein has also been taken away by Mo Zhu'er, but this was originally a transaction between us and Mo Zhu'er, so it's nothing.
In short, the current Tianxuan Sect has become a place with sparse spiritual power. The Tianxuan Sect's ten thousand years of luck has completely dissipated, and this place is no longer suitable as the foundation of a sect."
Xu Ming nodded: "Then I wonder what Senior plans to do?"
Wang Xuan: "A few days ago, I gathered the surviving disciples of the Tianxuan Sect and held a meeting, stating that they could leave the Tianxuan Sect. If they didn't leave, they could follow me to find a new place to create a new Tianxuan Sect. The vast majority of disciples are willing to leave with me.
These days, the peak masters and hall masters of the Tianxuan Sect are counting the remaining spiritual stones and magic weapons of the Tianxuan Sect.
In about a month, we will be on our way."
Xu Ming suggested: "Senior might be able to go to the Wu Kingdom. I believe the Wu Kingdom will definitely give Senior a lot of support."
Wang Xuan shook his head: "We appreciate the Wu Kingdom's kindness, but since ancient times, most sects that have a deep relationship with mortal dynasties have not had good results.
Moreover, after this incident, I also understand that our Tianxuan Sect has been stable for too long, too long, and has been high above for too long.
When a sect is stable for too long, it will feel that cultivation is extremely simple.
When a sect is high above for too long, that sense of superiority will make people forget themselves.
I plan to take the Tianxuan Sect to Jubei City."
Xu Ming was stunned for a moment and naturally knew about this city.
Jubei City is said to be a city, but its territory is equivalent to a small country. Jubei City is a land of no owner, with all kinds of sects, and the three religions and five streams gather there.
That is a chaotic place.
"After you were unconscious, the situation of the Tianxuan Sect is roughly like this. You should rest well. I'll go tell Qing Wan the news that you're awake." Wang Xuan stood up and turned to leave.
"By the way."
Just as Wang Xuan was about to walk out of the room, he stopped and his voice came from behind him.
"You saved my life. I will remember it. I owe you a favor."
