Chapter 131 Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil: The Magical Treasure Given by the Sect Leader!
After confirming that Chu Yang was the original, Qingwei and Xu Changqing both breathed a sigh of relief, and Cang Gu's anger could be ignored for the time being.
Qingwei looked at Chu Yang with a serious expression and asked, "I'll ask you one more time, do you really want to participate in the Sword Qi Competition?"
Chu Yang nodded firmly; there was no way he would leave the Shu Mountain Sect!
"Such a resolute heart towards the Dao, yet alas—" Qingwei sighed deeply, then nodded, "So be it."
Pretend I never said this before. You stay on the mountain.
Cang Gu immediately fell silent upon hearing this.
Xu Changqing looked at Chu Yang with delight, knowing that from now on, the sect leader would no longer mention letting Chu Yang go down the mountain.
"Sect Leader, I still want to participate in the Sword Qi Competition."
Chu Yang's voice echoed throughout the hall, catching the other three off guard!
"You're really pushing your luck! If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll beat you up even in front of the patriarch!"
Cang Gu's blood pressure was like a rollercoaster today, going up and down more than ten times. He really couldn't take it anymore and wanted to give his unfilial disciple a loving lesson!
Xu Changqing walked to Chu Yang's side and whispered, "Junior Brother, know when to stop. Even if the Sect Leader is kind-hearted, don't keep saying such irresponsible things."
Seeing Chu Yang's resolute expression, which didn't seem like he was just saying things out of anger, Qingwei was moved and asked, "Why is it like this?"
Chu Yang replied, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening."
Xu Changqing took a few steps back, looked at his junior brother Chu Yang, who had been with him for many years, and showed an expression of admiration.
Cang Gu stopped getting angry and stared blankly at Chu Yang, feeling that he was both familiar and unfamiliar.
"While my talent for cultivation is limited, my talent for martial arts is not bad."
Chu Yang said confidently.
The cultivation methods of the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect are completely different. The Sword Sect emphasizes entering the Dao through martial arts, first cultivating martial arts to strengthen the body.
The Qi Sect, on the other hand, follows ancient methods, cultivating both internal and external alchemy. They refine the golden elixir internally and ingest elixirs externally to sense the Dao of Heaven and generate magical power before considering practicing martial arts and magic.
The only thing the two sects have in common is that they both require entering the world to cultivate, descending the mountain to subdue demons and monsters, and using a chivalrous heart to help people in the world.
This is the core concept of the Shu Mountain Sect, and it will not disappear because of the conflict over sword energy.
"Martial arts?"
Qingwei was skeptical. If Chu Yang really had martial arts talent, then it was the Qi Sect that had delayed his cultivation all these years.
"Changqing, why don't you spar with your junior brother?"
Qingwei waved his whisk, and the four figures in the main hall disappeared at the same time, instantly appearing in a deserted bamboo forest.
We can't exactly let them fight in front of the portrait of the patriarch, can we?
Xu Changqing achieved mastery of Qi cultivation at a very young age and spent a considerable amount of time practicing martial arts; he was also a martial arts genius.
Qingwei felt that as long as Chu Yang could withstand twenty moves, he would be able to protect himself in the sword qi competition.
He bent down and picked up two bamboo leaves from the ground, throwing them to Chu Yang and Xu Changqing respectively. The bamboo leaves transformed into two bamboo swords in mid-air and landed in the hands of the two men.
"Stop when you've made your point."
Before the fight began, Cang Gu suddenly spoke.
Xu Changqing, understanding his intentions, respectfully replied, "Master, rest assured, I will not harm Junior Brother A-Yang."
Cang Gu glared at him angrily.
Xu Changqing scratched his head blankly, wondering what he had done to upset his master.
"Senior brother, I'm about to draw my sword."
Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh, and tapped the bamboo beside him with his sword to remind Xu Changqing.
Cang Gu was clearly only offering a hint behind his back, but he insisted on saying it out loud, making others feel awkward.
Xu Changqing possesses emotional intelligence, but not much of it. Fortunately, he is upright and has a childlike heart.
"Junior brother, please draw your sword."
Xu Changqing was on high alert and did not reveal the slightest flaw. It was not because he valued Chu Yang so much, but because he was used to the teachings of his master and elders.
When a lion fights a rabbit, he still needs all his strength.
Chu Yang didn't want to be too harsh on Xu Changqing right away, so he chose the nameless, mysterious sword technique.
The sword techniques of the Mysterious Swordplay are unexpected and unpredictable, yet they always manage to pinpoint the opponent's weaknesses with precision.
As soon as the two exchanged blows, Xu Changqing's eyes lit up.
But he remained calm, and several sword lights condensed around his body. Only when the sword energy was condensed to its limit and became substantial would it transform into the form of sword light.
Xu Changqing uses his sword to protect himself, and when he draws his sword, the sword light will attack the enemy according to his thoughts, and he can control it at will. This is something that can only be achieved by mastering the art of sword control.
Seeing this, Qingwei and Canggu nodded in unison, their faces showing a relieved smile. They believed that Xu Changqing could win the championship in this sword qi competition.
Xu Changqing attacked with his sword, while Chu Yang continued to fight back with his mysterious swordsmanship, advancing and retreating with measured steps. In the blink of an eye, twenty moves had passed.
Qingwei's expression gradually became serious.
Chu Yang's martial arts prowess truly startled him; the swordsmanship he displayed was profound, though it hadn't yet touched upon the Dao.
But it's not far off.
"Twenty moves have passed; he is now qualified to participate in the sword qi competition."
Cang Gu was so excited that he almost danced with joy, but when he noticed that his senior brother, the sect leader, looked displeased, he regained his dignified and imposing demeanor.
"Junior brother, you're so happy, but have you ever thought that we've held him back? If he were in the Sword Sect, under the careful guidance of Dugu Yuyun, his achievements might not be any less than Changqing's," Qingwei said guiltily.
Cang Gu, who had just been very happy, felt his hands and feet turn cold upon hearing this. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
On the other side, Chu Yang and Xu Changqing exchanged blows, and before they knew it, they had already fought more than a hundred moves.
Xu Changqing gradually realized that his former junior brother's talent in martial arts was so high that it was difficult for ordinary people to reach.
"What a pity, Junior Brother's talent for cultivation—"
Xu Changqing felt increasingly regretful. Without entering the Dao, no matter how high one's martial arts skills are, they are still just martial arts, and they are worlds apart from the true path of martial arts.
"Enough, Changqing!"
Having achieved his goal, Qingwei took the initiative to stop the sparring match and also agreed to allow Chu Yang to participate in the sword qi contest.
Cang Gu walked up to Chu Yang, looking at him with regret. "You're very good. Perhaps I shouldn't have brought you to the Qi Sect back then, but sent you to the Sword Sect instead."
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "The debt of being saved is greater than the heavens; in my eyes, there is no difference between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect."
Qingwei asked with a smile, "What makes you say that?"
Chu Yang replied, "Slaying demons and eliminating evil, sword energy is sufficient."
"Slaying demons and eliminating evil—" Qingwei murmured, somewhat lost in thought, "For thousands of years, everyone has been arguing about which method has a greater chance of ascending to immortality. Everyone is seeking immortality, but is our cultivation only for the purpose of becoming an immortal?"
"Perhaps we really shouldn't have—"
Cang Gu suddenly spoke up, "Senior brother, watch your words!"
Qingwei regained his composure, his expression returning to normal, and shook his head with a chuckle, saying, "Getting old, it's so easy to lose your composure. Your cultivation is still lacking."
Having said that, he gently patted Chu Yang's shoulder, "Remember your words. If one day you are needed to slay demons and monsters, promise me you will not be soft-hearted!"
"Remember this!"
Qingwei led the three of them back to the sect's main hall.
Then, Chu Yang was made to kneel before the portrait of the founder to complete the initiation ceremony. From this day forward, he would be a formal disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect.
Chu Yang's master is Cang Gu.
Despite Cang Gu's repeated refusals, he still chose the other party.
Cang Gu said with difficulty, "I may not be able to teach you anything."
Chu Yang smiled. "It's alright, I just wanted to call you Master."
Cang Gu nodded with satisfaction.
Qingwei stroked his long beard and chuckled, teasingly saying, "Hahaha, Junior Brother has taken on another fine disciple! First Changqing, now Ayang—I'm quite envious!"
Cang Gu coughed a few times and said smugly, "What are you saying, you dignified sect leader of Shu Mountain? It's good enough that others aren't jealous of you."
Get cheap and sell well!
Qingwei ignored him, waving her whisk to shoo him aside. Then she said to Chu Yang, "If you want to cultivate your Dao through martial arts, you can't follow the path of our Qi Sect. You need to descend the mountain and enter the world. Be prepared."
Chu Yang nodded and said, "This disciple understands."
Qingwei then instructed Xu Changqing, "You also grew up in the mountains and don't have much worldly experience. It's good that you're coming down the mountain with your junior brother this time, so you can look after each other."
"Don't forget to pass on your knowledge and answer your questions for your junior brother along the way."
Xu Changqing nodded excitedly. He had never left the mountain since he began cultivating Taoism!
Let's set off tomorrow morning!
The two left the main hall together.
Watching their retreating figures, Cang Gu walked to Qing Wei's side and said worriedly, "These two children each have their flaws. A Yang is overly cautious but lacks ambition, while Chang Qing—his ill-fated destiny may be unavoidable."
Qingwei sighed, "That's precisely why we need to descend the mountain. How could cultivators not know that calamities cannot be avoided, but must be faced? Only by facing calamities can one overcome them."
Cang Gu looked distressed and asked with a heavy heart, "What if it can't be broken?"
Qingwei replied calmly, "That's his fate, and no one can change it."
Cang Gu sighed deeply, "The tribulation of love is hard to overcome, so hard to overcome!"
The next day.
Xu Changqing appeared outside Chu Yang's door early. To maintain his composure as the senior disciple, he took a deep breath and composed himself before knocking on the door.
"Junior brother! It's time for us to go down the mountain today!" Xu Changqing didn't even realize that his voice had suddenly become a few decibels louder.
"Senior, don't wake me up so early next time, it'll mess up your biological clock!"
Chu Yang pushed open the door with a disgruntled expression. Although he was complaining, he had already dressed and washed up.
"Huh? What clock?"
Xu Changqing looked completely bewildered.
"Let's go down the mountain."
Chu Yang sighed inwardly. He was so stupid that he didn't even realize he was being sold off after going down the mountain. No wonder Jing Tian played him for a fool.
"Alright! Where are we going?"
Xu Changqing walked ahead and turned to look at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang didn't want to deal with a top-tier being like the Demon Lord too early, so he definitely couldn't go to Yuzhou.
"Yuhang Town!"
Chu Yang grinned.
I wonder what Li Xiaoyao is doing now?
Hehe—if I beat the Sword Immortal to it and take him as a disciple of the Qi Sect, the Sword Sect will definitely be furious!
Once the idea came to him, Chu Yang couldn't stop himself from having it.
"Yuhang Town? I've heard other disciples mention it. It seems to be a very scenic town, but there's a rather shady inn there—"
"We just need to avoid that inn," Xu Changqing said half-jokingly, in a good mood.
"Don't worry, we definitely won't stay at that inn!"
Chu Yang made a solemn promise.
Afterwards, Xu Changqing flew away from Mount Shu with Chu Yang on his sword, constantly sharing his insights on sword control techniques with Chu Yang along the way.
After listening, Chu Yang learned about 70-80% of the sword control technique.
They traveled at great speed on their swords, and arrived at their destination in about half a day.
The night was windy and the wind was high.
Muhang Town is located by the sea. As soon as they approached Chuyang, they could smell a faint fishy smell. Xu Changqing, who had never seen the sea before, was very excited and became much more talkative.
Yunlai Yunshi Inn.
When Xu Changqing saw the sign, his face immediately turned ugly. He pointed at the sign above his head and said, "Bingwen, this is the inn I'm talking about, make sure—"
"We'll stay here!"
Chu Yang pushed open the inn door, grabbed Xu Changqing's clothes, and walked in.
There was no one inside.
Xu Changqing whispered, "Shiwen, I told you this place was a rip-off! A normal inn wouldn't be completely empty!"
Chu Yang frowned, about to head towards Hai, when the door of a side room on the first floor suddenly opened, and an old man carrying a medicine box came out.
"You two are here to stay at the inn, right?"
"Unfortunately, the innkeeper, Aunt Li, is ill and may not be able to accommodate you two."
"Her son, Xiaoyao, also went out to search for medicine and died!"
The old man cupped his hands in greeting.
"Brother Bing, come and take a look!"
Mount Shu not only teaches magic, but also traditional Chinese medicine, and its teachings are exceptionally advanced.
Mosquitoes usually learn a little bit of fur when they come down from the mountain.
Top students like Xu Changqing are well-versed in medical principles.
"Mosquitoes! The doctor has already examined them, so don't do anything rash—"
Xu Changqing was pushed up to the upper floor by Chu Yang. Helpless, he had no choice but to take Aunt Li's pulse, while inwardly marveling at Bingwen's heartless nature.
Seeing that the two men didn't seem like bad people based on their clothes and demeanor, the doctor didn't say much and simply stood quietly by their side.
As time passed, Xu Changqing's expression grew increasingly solemn. He turned to Chu Yang and said, "Bingwen..."
This woman doesn't seem sick; she looks more like she's been poisoned!
The doctor exclaimed in surprise, "Gu poison? This isn't the southern border; how could there be Gu poison here?"
Chu Yang reassured him, "Old man, don't be anxious. Let my brother Bing take another look. We are disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect, not bad people!"
The doctor was startled again upon hearing this, but his expression softened considerably afterward. The reputation of the Shu Mountain Sect was widespread, and its reputation was deeply trusted by the people.
Xu Changqing took out silver needles from the beggar's bag, inserted them into Aunt Li's acupoints, and then channeled his internal energy into her body to force out the Gu poison.
As a result, Aunt Li coughed up a mouthful of blood, did not regain consciousness, and her breathing became weaker.
Xu Changqing took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, "Bingwen, this Gu poison is extremely evil; I can't do anything about it."
Xu Changqing turned to the doctor and asked, "Old man, have any strange people come to this inn recently?"
The doctor lived near the inn and kept a record of all the guests who came and went every day. He nodded and said, "There have indeed been a few strangely dressed guests at the inn recently. If you look closely, they seem to be wearing Miao clothing."
Chu Yang nodded and said, "It should be that group of people."
Xu Changqing said indignantly, "These people may not be demons, but their actions are far more despicable! Let's go! We'll find them and get our medicine!"
Chu Yang rolled his eyes. "Didn't you see when you came in that there was no one in the inn?"
Where are we supposed to find these people? What if they run back to southern Xinjiang and you die with them?
Xu Changqing scratched his head awkwardly.
"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to find something!"
Chu Yang turned and left!
"Mosquito, wait for me!"
When Xu Changqing chased after him, Chu Yang was already out of sight. He exclaimed in shock, "When did Bingwen's movement technique become so fast?"
now.
The immortal hero Chu Yang appeared in the Soul Palace.
"Brother mosquitoes, help me!"
Magic Chu Yang and Pirate Chu Yang were circling Vegapunk's newly created energy engine when they suddenly heard cries for help coming from behind them.
The two looked at the immortal Chu Yang with complete bewilderment. The latter touched them, synchronizing their most recent memories.
"Gu poison—I've never encountered it before."
Pirate Chu Yang shook his head.
"Furthermore, transmitting life force is useless. The stronger the host's life force, the more vigorous the Gu worms become. Don't let them mutate; that would be truly disastrous."
Magic Chu Yang touched the bottom of the oven and fell into deep thought.
Immortal Chu Yang hurriedly asked, "How about we try the Blood Bodhi? If that doesn't work, we can use some Qilin blood to fight poison with poison?"
'
Magic Chu Yang glared at him, "Blood Bodhi heals injuries but not diseases, let alone Qilin blood. Don't keep giving me bad advice."
Pirate Chu Yang said irritably, "Couldn't we just get the medicine directly from Immortal Spirit Island? Why did you have to let Xu Changqing treat the patient, which only made the Gu poison worse."
Magic Chu Yang said worriedly, "Given Aunt Li's current condition, she might not last until Li Xiaoyao returns from Immortal Spirit Island."
The immortal Chu Yang was ashamed. His original plan was to heal Aunt Li, wait for Li Xiaoyao to return, cultivate good relationships with her, and then trick her into going to the Shu Mountain Qi Sect.
It's surprising how bizarre Gu worms are, that even Xu Changqing couldn't do anything about them.
As the three were discussing how to save Aunt Li, a person suddenly emerged from the nebula.
Marvel Chu Yang.
"What are you guys doing?"
Marvel Chu Yang Shang Hai soon learned the whole story, and then laughed, "Medicines and the like are useless, why not just do surgery? Remove the Gu worms from the body."
Afterwards, the three watched as he fiddled with something in the laboratory for a while, and then took out a delicate instrument about the size of a laptop.
"The latest nanotherapy device has hundreds of thousands of built-in surgical plans, performed by countless nanomedical worms and controlled by Jarvis. It's incredibly easy to operate, requiring absolutely no prior knowledge!"
Marvel Chu Yang said smugly, "This is a new product created by me, One-Punch Chu Yang, the entire Hydra, and Guan Hui from the United States. It's for emergency rescue during wartime, and also for post-war—"
Before he could finish speaking, the immortal Chu Yang, holding the nano-therapy device, plunged headfirst into the nebula and returned to his original world.
"Damn it! You wait until I finish speaking!"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The act was only half-hearted, leaving Marvel Chu Yang feeling like he'd been constipated for three years, and his face immediately contorted in rage.
Yunlai Yunshi Inn.
Xu Changqing was as anxious as an ant on a hot plate, pacing back and forth in the inn's lobby because his mistake had made Aunt Li's condition worse, and he was extremely worried.
"Where is Bingwenshi? If all else fails, I'll fly back to Mount Shu on my sword and ask the elders to come down and treat Aunt Li."
Having made up his mind, Xu Changqing strode out.
Chu Yang pushed open the door and walked in before him, carrying a dark-colored object in his hand.
"Bingwen, you're back!" Xu Changqing's face lit up with joy, then he noticed what Chu Yang was holding and asked curiously, "What is this iron block?"
"I'll tell you later." Chu Yang hurriedly walked inside, arrived at Aunt Li's bedside, placed the nanotherapy device on the bedside table, and pressed the start button.
The nanotherapy device slowly unfolded, projecting a three-dimensional screen that encompassed everyone in the room.
Chu Yang selected Aunt Li's phantom image, and the nano-therapy device opened a gap, from which a group of extremely tiny nanobugs flew out.
The doctor didn't see it, nor did Xu Changqing; only Chu Yang, relying on the power of his Rinnegan, could clearly see the movement trajectory of the nanobots.
They entered Aunt Li's body through her ears, mouth, and nose.
The next second, Li Da's physical condition was displayed in detail on Chu Yang's face.
Xu Changqing and the old doctor both stared wide-eyed, their confusion mixed with curiosity.
The old doctor asked tremblingly, "Young Immortal, what is this?"
Xu Changqing also asked, "Why is Aunt Li's physical condition exactly the same as the diagram here?"
Chu Yang ignored them and carefully examined the test results; the parasite test result had turned bright red.
Unknown parasite species.
Surgical removal is an option.
Conservative treatment may be an option.
Chu Yang chose to have the surgery removed, and the nanobots began to swarm to the location of the Gu worms.
The trouble with Gu worms is that they are conscious and have a high degree of sensitivity to danger. As soon as danger is generated, they will go crazy and attack the host.
However, it cannot detect the existence of nanobots, so it will not have any excessive reaction.
The surgery was over as soon as it began.
The Gu worm was instantly burned to charcoal by the laser, and then transported out of the body by the nanobots.
Aunt Li's face visibly flushed.
Chu Yang put away the nanotherapy device and breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, everything's fine now!"
The old doctor, still somewhat skeptical, took Aunt Li's pulse and found that it was smooth and had returned to normal.
The old man was so shocked he ripped off his beard. "This—this is a rip!"
"Young immortal, is that a magical artifact in your hand?"
Chu Yang nodded, too lazy to offer his services.
Xu Changqing scratched his head and said, "Bing Wen, where did you get this magic weapon? When we came down the mountain, Bing Fu clearly handed everything over to me."
Chu Yang pursed his lips, "Given by the sect leader."
Xu Changqing looked on with envy, then realized that the sect leader might have considered that Chu Yang was not skilled in magic and could not heal himself, so he specially bestowed this magical artifact that could heal and save people.
Xu Changqing said with genuine admiration, "The sect leader's consideration is truly thorough."
Chu Yang had no idea what he was imagining. He found it a bit tiresome and couldn't help rolling his eyes. "Nobody's here, no one can hear your flattery anyway. Enough already."
Xu Changqing quickly explained, "These are my heartfelt words—"
"Alright, alright, let's put aside our feelings for now. The Gu worms on Aunt Li's body have been eliminated. Let's quickly use our swords to check the surrounding area for any suspicious people."
Those guys from the Moon Worship Cult have already gone to Immortal Spirit Island with Li Xiaoyao, so they're definitely not in Muhang Town. Chu Yang needs to quickly lead Xu Changqing to find the location of Immortal Spirit Island.
It's almost dawn.
The Moon Worship Cult will start a massacre on Fairy Spirit Island at dawn, and this must be stopped in time.
"You're right, let's hurry up and go." Xu Changqing stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old doctor, and said, "Please take good care of this lady, sir."
The old doctor, not knowing what was going on, quickly grabbed Xu Changqing's robe, "Young Immortal Master, I have a request."
"Since the head of the Li family is out of danger, please trouble the young immortal to tell her about Xiaoyao, that child who went to find medicine..."
"The fishermen who come and go from the nearby Fairy Spirit Island all say that it's very eerie, and I'm quite worried about it—"
Xu Changqing nodded in agreement.
After leaving the Yunlai Yunshi Inn, Xu Changqing flew into the sky with Chu Yang on his sword, taking in the entire town of Muhang.
To the east of Muhang Town, there is a lonely little island.
The sword light transformed into a dazzling meteor.
It vanished in a flash.
