“Senior Brother, you…” Qin Wushuang stared blankly ahead, the composure of a Sect Master vanished, as he exclaid in shock.
Today, he originally ca to visit his Senior Brother, Wei Wushuang, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his Senior Brother, with his black hair, suppressing his power and fighting valiantly with Lin Qian.
That his Senior Brother inexplicably recovered was sothing Qin Wushuang could hardly believe.
Just yesterday, his Senior Brother was in a state of making final arrangents, and today he was lively and full of energy, with a complete transformation in his physical state.
When he asked his Senior Brother what had happened, Wei Wushuang stamred, while Lin Qian explained in detail.
“Uncle Master, here’s what happened. Last night, when I was dreaming, I suddenly had a dream, and I saw an old grandpa.”
“This old grandpa said he was the dicine God, very remarkable indeed. He thought the bond between and my teacher was deep, and that I was handso and kind-hearted. So, he took great pity on us and used a Divine Wisdom Soul Skill to take control of my body.”
“In the dream, the old dicine God grandpa controlled my body and brewed an antidote potion, and after my master took it, he was cured.”
Qin Wushuang looked at Lin Qian’s innocent smile in front of him, took a deep breath: “Lin Qian, the last ti you gave your Senior Brother so treatnt potion, you ntioned an Apothecary Empress grandmother in the dream who gave you those potions. So now, there’s a dicine God grandpa too?”
“Oh, Uncle Master, there’s sothing you might not know. The dicine God is the husband of the Apothecary Empress. The grandmother thinks I am clever and dashing and quite likes .”
“I told you before that the Apothecary Empress grandmother was kind and genial. I suspect the dicine God grandpa helped in the dream because the Empress grandmother told him to.”
“…”
Qin Wushuang shook his head with mixed emotions and stopped asking.
His Senior Brother’s disciple was shrouded in mystery and particularly good at speaking nonsense seriously.
However, Qin Wushuang admired his Senior Brother’s disciple, especially Lin Qian’s various magical ideas.
For example, Lin Qian once said that a being with the surna Ban and nad Director, a demigod and demonic existence, entrusted him with a dream.
Saying that dividing sect disciples into classes for instruction would lead to twice the results with half the effort.
As for what the classes were, Lin Qian explained them very clearly.
There were also dreams from two brothers nad Midterm and Final, who told him he could categorize things thoroughly and comprehensively and conduct trials and assessnts at midyear and year-end.
Although Qin Wushuang thought the nas of the people who appeared in Lin Qian’s dreams were quite odd, he had to admit, these thods were extrely practical.
Following Lin Qian’s suggested thods, the effect of culturing disciples in the Wanxiang Sect significantly improved.
“Now that my Senior Brother is alright, I can be at ease.” Qin Wushuang looked at his Senior Brother Wei Wushuang and breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, “However, it might be wise to keep news of your recovery under wraps for now.”
Wei Wushuang nodded, understanding his Junior Brother’s intent.
The Coastal State was divided among three sects and five schools, with countless towns under their jurisdiction. Among the eight major forces, there were also so small sects that depended on them for survival.
Among the three sects, Shengtian Sect was the strongest in power, followed closely by the Wanxiang Sect and Divine Sword Sect.
The five schools were the Great Spear Sect, dical Sect, Beast Taming Sect, Coastal Sect, and Quenching Fire Sect.
dical Sect focused on alchemy, and Quenching Fire Sect on artifact refining, both keeping to themselves. Furthermore, all Soul Martial Artists needed pills, elental weapons, and soul devices, causing no conflict with the two schools.
Coastal Sect bordered the sea and maintained a good relationship with the Wanxiang Sect.
The Great Spear Sect was ambitious, aiming to overshadow the Divine Sword Sect by the spear over sword, aligning closely with Beast Taming Sect and Shengtian Sect.
The burgeoning Wanxiang Sect had slight friction with Shengtian Sect, which intensified until the War Emperor Wei Wushuang’s return. His unmatched power deterred them from making moves.
Later, as Wei Wushuang’s poison took hold and his demise seed imminent, this news spread through the Coastal State.
Shengtian Sect too began to stir restlessly.
“Actually, there is another matter for which I ca.” Qin Wushuang looked at Lin Qian and sighed, “Regarding your challenge with Elder Lei’s grandson, just apologizing would settle it.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian’s expression darkened: “Uncle Master, do you think I would ever apologize?”
Qin Wushuang seed to have anticipated Lin Qian’s response and turned to Wei Wushuang, “Senior Brother, what should we do?”
“My poison was just lifted, and my strength is slowly recovering. If I were at my peak, I would have just slapped that old fool to death.” As he spoke, Wei Wushuang lightly patted Lin Qian’s shoulder, “But now, a true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. Don’t play with your life.”
Lin Qian sighed, understanding the difficulties faced by his master and uncle.
A month ago, there were two grandsons of Supre Elder Lei Heng of the Wanxiang Sect, Lei Qian and Lei Kun.
Lei Kun, relying on his grandfather being the Supre Elder, was arrogant and overbearing. Upon seeing an outstanding female disciple, he forcibly violated her.
The female disciple, emotionally devastated, tried to hang herself. She was discovered just in ti by her peers and saved, but her mind was shattered permanently.
When Lin Qian learned of this, he sought out Lei Kun, who was also of the Shape Origin Realm, and broke his limbs, destroyed his Dantian, leaving him an utter cripple.
It wasn’t out of Lin Qian’s rcy, but he felt that soone like Lei Kun, killing him would be too kind. Turning him into a wreck made him wish he were dead.
Though Lei Heng was furious about the incident, he couldn’t act because of Qin Wushuang and Wei Wushuang’s protection over Lin Qian.
Even though Qin Wushuang was the Sect Master, as a Supre Elder, Lei Heng’s status was no less than his, leaving him unable to protect Lin Qian on his own.
Later, Lei Qian’s elder brother, Lei Qian, issued a life-and-death duel contract with Lin Qian.
In a duel to the death, it ends only when one party dies.
Qin Wushuang tried persistently to get Lei Qian’s side to annul the duel contract.
Lei Qian was a Nirvana Realm genius at the Ninth Layer, having achieved an eight-turn Nirvana breakthrough, and was only twenty-four.
Although Lin Qian’s physique was robust enough to rival the Nirvana Realm, it was only comparable to an ordinary three-turn Nirvana Realm breakthrough, and below the Fourth Layer at that.
People called him the Young Emperor solely due to Wei Wushuang.
Particularly when news spread that Lin Qian couldn’t use Elental Weapon Armant, many young Soul Martial Artists with notable talent scoffed at him.
To use Elental Weapon Armant, one needed a Martial Soul, and it had to be whole to use.
It involved a Primordial Weapon in the shape of a weapon, and a spherical Elental Artifact Heart and Elental Components made from Soul Ore, assimilated into a weapon.
Two situations prevented the approximation of Elental Weapon Armant.
First, damaged Martial Soul hindered the connection with the Elental Artifact Heart and Components, making armant impossible.
Second, dull intellect or a very low-grade Martial Soul stopped armant.
Any scenario left one with no room for breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm, just a person without prospects.
Despite Lin Qian’s robust physique, others saw him as a prospectless wastrel.
In essence, even in the Peak Shape Origin Realm, he could only contend with so common Nirvana Realm fighters.
Consequently, the entire Wanxiang Sect believed participating in this life-and-death duel was a path to demise for Lin Qian.
Even his master Wei Wushuang and uncle Qin Wushuang weren’t optimistic about him.
“But, was Lin Qian truly courting death?”
