347 The Trip to the Valley of the Medicine Masters

Ye Xuan, who had stirred up the storm in Jade City, was completely unaware of the shadow he had cast on the other major clans.

Xiao Mingyan was still immersed in the shocking sword attack just now, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He couldn’t help but ask, “How did you do it?”

After the battle, Xiao Yi suffered heavy losses, but Ye Xuan was fine. This completely subverted Xiao Mingyan’s worldview, and also refreshed his understanding of Ye Xuan’s strength.

He even had a premonition that Ye Xuan hadn’t used all his strength in the battle just now. If that was the case, what kind of terrifying level had his cultivation reached?

“It’s actually very simple to attack an enemy’s shield with an enemy’s spear.”

The reasoning behind this was very difficult for Xiao Mingyan to understand, but for Ye Xuan, who had transmigrated from the modern world, it was extremely simple. After all, the lightning rod was something everyone knew about.

Since it could avoid lightning, it could also attract lightning.

Xiao Yi’s power that hit Ye Xuan was partially absorbed by the black iron giant sword, and in the end, with the unparalleled sword Qi, it was reflected back to Xiao Yi at double the power. Xiao Yi would have never thought that he would be defeated by Ye Xuan in such a way.

However, it was easier said than done. First of all, Xiao Yi’s power of lightning was not just for show. If Ye Xuan’s muscles and bones had not been tempered by the system and his physique was special, ordinary people would not be able to withstand that kind of attack at all.

Seeing Xiao Mingyan’s thoughtful gaze, Ye Xuan only smiled and patted his shoulder. He said, “You still have a long way to go. Take your time to think about it.”

“But after this, the Xiao clan won’t be faring so well.”

Ye Xuan’s words were quite tactful. Now that Xiao Hong couldn’t control the Xiao clan at all and there was no leader since Xiao Yi was injured, and there were all kinds of people in the clan, the other clans would definitely want to join in the fun.

“That’s none of my business. From now on, the Xiao clan’s fate has nothing to do with me.”

No matter how much resentment Xiao Mingyan had towards the Xiao clan, it had already dissipated. He had avenged himself, and Xiao Wuyou and Liu Ruxue had a miserable ending. If he was still trapped in the past, it would be detrimental to his cultivation.

Similarly, although the Xiao clan had raised Xiao Mingyan, he had repaid them all with the supreme dragon bone, the things that Xiao Wuyou had done to him, and the passiveness of Xiao Hong and the Xiao clan when all these happened to him.

After saying this, Xiao Mingyan’s expression relaxed. Without the Xiao clan’s restrictions, he suddenly became cheerful, and his state of mind also showed signs of a breakthrough.

“Thank you.”

Xiao Mingyan knew Ye Xuan’s intentions very well, and he managed to untie the knot in his heart with a few words.

“You’ve already thanked me enough along the way. I’m getting calluses in my ears from listening to you.”

Ye Xuan waved his hand. “Let’s say goodbye here. We shall meet again at the Tai Qing Sect in the future. I’ve already informed the sect. You can go there directly.”

He and A’tian would head to the Valley of Medicine Masters, while Xiao Mingyan would head to Tai Qing Sect. With Xiao Mingyan’s ability, going alone would not be a problem.

Looking at Xiao Mingyan’s back, he was as free as a bird, and he could roam and travel wherever he liked.

“Young Master Xiao really doesn’t have any worries now,” A’tian couldn’t help but sigh.

He seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at Ye Xuan with shining eyes. He rubbed his hands and said, “Young Master Ye, I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should say it.”

Ye Xuan raised his head as if he knew what A’tian was thinking. He replied, “Speak.”

“Can I learn swordsmanship from you? Your sword attack just now was too powerful! That sword move was so powerful that no one can defeat it. If only I could be like you…”

“Alright, stop with the flattery.”

Ye Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he interrupted A’tian’s long speech.

“It’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but you’re not suitable to learn the sword. Swordsmanship requires a good foundation from a young age. You’re too old, and your aptitude is not good. Even if you can make up for it with hard work and practice later on, it still can’t make up for your innate flaws.”

A’tian’s face was sullen. His heart, which had just sprouted the desire to become a swordsman, had been stomped to death by Ye Xuan before it could even grow.

Ye Xuan was able to reach such a realm because of the system. If A’tian started cultivating now, it would probably be tough. Moreover, his root bone and aptitude were unsuitable for practicing the sword.

Along the way, A’tian was dejected and looked extremely depressed.

He mumbled to himself, “It’s so good to be a swordsman. With a long sword in hand, you can get rid of all the injustice in the world. If I can become a swordsman, I won’t have to be bullied and have people rolling their eyes at me. I can even be domineering when I use the sword.”

Ye Xuan only found it funny when he heard his mumbling. “After all this, you want to learn swordsmanship just because it’s domineering and impressive?”

A’tian nodded and replied, “That’s right, just like you, Young Master. But it seems that there’s no hope now.”

He was still young, so it was not strange for him to say such words.

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “That’s not necessarily true. Although you’re not suitable for sword cultivation, perhaps other paths are more suitable for you. Don’t think that you should do what others do. You have to find your own path.”

A’tian’s eyes lit up with hope again.

“Then I’ll listen to you, Young Master!”

A’tian quickly put this matter to the back of his mind. He said, “I’ve never left Jade City in my life, and I don’t know what the Valley of Medicine Masters is like. But what are you going there for, Young Master?”

“I’m going to treat an illness.”

A’tian’s mouth was wide open as he looked Ye Xuan up and down. He couldn’t see any injuries on Ye Xuan at all.

“You’re injured?”

Ye Xuan nodded. The heart had been very calm these days and didn’t cause any trouble. It was as if there wasn’t such a superfluous thing in his body, but he didn’t let his guard down.

This heart was like a time bomb, no one knew when this time bomb would explode, and he did not know whether the people of Valley of Medicine Masters could solve his problem.
