Miracle Doctor Chapter 951
Long Eyebrow Master screamed loudly, plummeting rapidly towards the bottom of the Heavenly Pool.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu laughed: “Lifting a stone to smash your own foot, serves you right.”
After a while.
Ye Qiu was the first to land at the bottom of the Heavenly Pool.
As soon as he steadied himself, with a “thud,” Long Eyebrow Master crashed beside him.
Ye Qiu turned his head and saw Long Eyebrow Master with dishevelled hair, face bruised and swollen, utterly disgraced.
Then, Ye Qiu noticed that swordfish had followed them.
He quickly pulled out several flame talismans, throwing them out.
Boom!
Flames erupted.
The swordfish immediately stopped advancing, too afraid to approach.
Ye Qiu quickly scanned his surroundings, spotting a cave in the nearby stone wall.
Without a second thought, Ye Qiu grabbed Long Eyebrow Master’s shoulder, rushing into the cave.
Miraculously, though the cave was at the bottom of the Heavenly Pool, it was completely dry inside.
“Damn it all, nearly killed me.”
Long Eyebrow Master sat on the ground, cursing furiously.
Ye Qiu looked back at the cave entrance, deep in thought.
“Little brat, what are you thinking about?” Long Eyebrow Master asked.
Ye Qiu replied: “I’m wondering, how is there no water in this cave at the bottom of the Heavenly Pool?”
Long Eyebrow Master said in surprise: “Haven’t you noticed?”
“Noticed what?” Ye Qiu asked.
Long Eyebrow Master said: “The cave entrance has a water-repelling formation set up by a master, keeping the water out.”
Oh?
Ye Qiu walked over to inspect closely, only then noticing that the stone wall at the entrance indeed had a water-repelling formation carved into it.
Long Eyebrow Master said: “When Master Dongxuan came here, this formation was already in place, so it must be at least a few hundred years old.”
Ye Qiu exclaimed in awe: “The one who set this formation must be an unparalleled master.”
“Enough talk, let’s hurry and find the Golden City.” Long Eyebrow Master got up from the ground, turned on his torch, and walked deeper into the cave.
Ye Qiu reminded from behind: “Old man, be careful.”
“It’s fine, ouch…”
Long Eyebrow Master suddenly stopped, letting out a cry of pain.
Ye Qiu immediately clenched his fists, asking: “Old man, what’s wrong?”
“I hit my head.”
Ye Qiu: “…”
Long Eyebrow Master grumbled: “Damn it, if it weren’t for restoring the glory of Dragon Tiger Mountain, I wouldn’t bother coming to this wretched place.”
Ye Qiu teased: “Why don’t we go back?”
“Not until I get the treasure.” Long Eyebrow Master continued forward.
A few minutes later.
The two emerged from the cave.
“Little brat, where the hell are we?” Long Eyebrow Master stared ahead, his face somewhat dazed.
Ye Qiu was also surprised.
Before them appeared a vast open space, as large as a plaza.
Wildflowers were everywhere.
Their fragrance filled the air.
It was refreshing and invigorating.
Among the wildflowers, countless fireflies danced, like scattered stars from the heavens.
Everything was so beautiful.
Everything was so serene.
It was mesmerising.
Long Eyebrow Master snapped out of it, saying: “This place is nice, if I die and am buried here, no need to worry about grave robbers.”
Ye Qiu smirked: “Old man, your worries are unnecessary, grave robbers wouldn’t bother with your tomb.”
“Why not?”
Ye Qiu said: “Because you’re too poor, no burial goods.”
“Who says I’m poor? I’ve got money in my bank account…” Long Eyebrow Master started to retort, but then his head drooped, sighing: “I am indeed poor, rebuilding Dragon Tiger Mountain will cost a fortune, where am I going to get the money?”
Ye Qiu said: “Find the Golden City, won’t you have money then?”
Instantly, Long Eyebrow Master’s eyes lit up: “Little brat, you’re right, once we find the Golden City, I’ll be rich, hahaha…”
Among the wildflowers was a bluestone path.
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master walked along it, heading straight forward.
Both were cautious.
They understood that the more beautiful a place seemed, the more likely it hid unexpected dangers.
Yet, after passing through the flower field, no danger appeared.
Another cave came into view.
The cave was several metres high, with waves of heat emanating from within.
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master were extremely careful, not rushing in.
“Little brat, I have a feeling, the Golden City is getting closer,” Long Eyebrow Master said in a low voice, his brows tinged with faint excitement.
Ye Qiu’s eyes fixed on the cave, observing for a moment, before asking: “Why is there heat coming from this cave?”
Long Eyebrow Master explained: “You don’t know, the place where dragon veins converge is full of yang energy, and in a confined cave space, over time, it forms heat waves.”
Is that so?
Ye Qiu was sceptical, finding Long Eyebrow Master’s explanation a bit far-fetched.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s worried expression, Long Eyebrow Master laughed: “Little brat, are you worried there’s danger inside?”
“No need to worry, there’s no danger in this cave.”
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll scout ahead.”
With that, Long Eyebrow Master stepped into the cave.
Ye Qiu lingered for ten seconds, preparing to enter, when suddenly Long Eyebrow Master ran out, panicked, shouting: “Little brat, bad news, bad news…”
“What’s wrong?” Ye Qiu asked urgently.
Long Eyebrow Master pointed inside the cave, gasping: “There’s, there’s…”
Roar!
At that moment, a deafening roar echoed from the cave.
Ye Qiu’s expression darkened, his left fist clenched, eyes locked on the cave.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Earth-shaking footsteps resounded from within, like war drums.
Ye Qiu’s face grew solemn, his right hand reaching back to grip his sword hilt.
He knew there was a giant beast inside the cave.
Two minutes passed.
A lion emerged from the cave.
It stood two metres tall, four metres long, extremely robust, with red fur like burning flames, majestic and imposing.
Moreover, the lion radiated a terrifying wave of heat.
Hiss!
Ye Qiu drew a sharp breath.
“Little brat, kill it quick, it’s a Fire Lion, its flames are highly toxic,” Long Eyebrow Master urged.
Clang!
Ye Qiu drew his Emperor Sword.
The Fire Lion stopped, its bell-like eyes glancing at Ye Qiu, then at the Emperor Sword, before suddenly turning and fleeing.
This…
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master exchanged stunned looks.
“It’s afraid of the Emperor Sword?” Long Eyebrow Master’s face lit up with joy, urging: “Little brat, let’s go in.”
At once, the two entered the cave.
Ye Qiu held the Emperor Sword, leading the way, on guard, but they saw no sign of the Fire Lion.
The two exited the cave.
Instantly, a dazzling golden light shone ahead.
Miracle Doctor Chapter 952
Ye Qiu looked up, seeing a city wall made of gold five hundred metres ahead.
It resembled a small villa.
Radiating golden light.
Unmatched in splendour!
“The Golden City! I’ve finally found the Golden City!”
Long Eyebrow Master shouted excitedly, his body trembling with overwhelming joy.
Ye Qiu felt a surge of shock, never expecting the legendary Golden City to truly exist.
But compared to Long Eyebrow Master’s excitement, Ye Qiu remained much calmer, his mind pondering several questions.
Who built this Golden City?
Why was it constructed here?
And what was the treasure?
“Little brat, come on, let’s check out the Golden City.”
Since spotting the Golden City, Long Eyebrow Master’s eyes hadn’t left it, his only thought now was to enter and find the treasure.
With that, he stepped forward.
“Wait!”
Ye Qiu suddenly grabbed Long Eyebrow Master’s sleeve, pointing to the side, saying: “Old man, look, what’s that?”
Long Eyebrow Master turned, spotting a stone tablet nearby.
Two lines were carved on it.
“Take one step forward, nine deaths, one life; take one step back, live to a hundred!”
After reading, Long Eyebrow Master laughed: “Little brat, don’t be scared.”
“These words are clearly meant to intimidate.”
“Besides, Master Dongxuan came here before, if there was real danger, he wouldn’t have made it out back then.”
Ye Qiu didn’t let his guard down, on the contrary, the more Long Eyebrow Master said this, the more vigilant he became.
“Old man, have you considered one thing, if there’s truly no danger here, why didn’t Master Dongxuan take the treasure with him back then?”
As Ye Qiu spoke, his eyes kept scanning, observing carefully.
“I don’t know why Master Dongxuan didn’t take the treasure, but I believe neither of us is fated to die young, we won’t perish here.”
With that, Long Eyebrow Master shook off Ye Qiu’s hand, striding towards the Golden City.
“Old man…”
Ye Qiu tried to dissuade him, but the old man suddenly sped up, his body shooting forward like an arrow.
With no choice, Ye Qiu followed.
Between the cave exit and the Golden City lay a barren expanse, no grass grew there, spanning five hundred metres.
They were only three hundred metres from the Golden City.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s eyelids twitched, a sense of unease flooding his heart.
He stopped immediately, shouting sternly at Long Eyebrow Master ahead: “Stop!”
Long Eyebrow Master turned back, asking: “Little brat, what’s got into you now?”
“We can’t go further, I sense danger.” Ye Qiu said gravely.
Long Eyebrow Master looked left, then right, asking: “Where’s the danger? I don’t see it.”
Ye Qiu said in a low voice: “I feel uneasy, I have a hunch, if we keep going, we’ll face great danger.”
Long Eyebrow Master laughed: “Little brat, I didn’t realise you were such a coward.”
“I’m telling you, don’t scare yourself.”
“I’m the world’s greatest diviner, if there was real danger, I’d have foreseen it.”
“Come on, follow me to the Golden City for the treasure.”
With that, Long Eyebrow Master stepped forward, but at that moment—
“Clang!”
A sword’s cry rang out.
Long Eyebrow Master stopped, realising the sound came from the Emperor Sword on Ye Qiu’s back, angrily saying: “Little brat, what are you playing at?”
“I didn’t touch the Emperor Sword,” Ye Qiu said.
“You didn’t?” Long Eyebrow Master’s eyes narrowed.
Ye Qiu took the Emperor Sword from his back, holding it, seeing it tremble violently, emitting a “clang-clang” cry, as if it wanted to leap from its sheath.
Ye Qiu scanned the surroundings, still finding no source of danger.
“The Emperor Sword is warning us, old man, do you still want to go to the Golden City?” Ye Qiu asked.
Long Eyebrow Master glanced at the Golden City, gritting his teeth: “Yes!”
Ye Qiu snapped: “There’s danger here!”
“Danger or not, I’m going!” Long Eyebrow Master said: “I worked so hard to find the Golden City, there’s no way I’m stopping now.”
“Master Dongxuan said the treasure in the Golden City can restore Dragon Tiger Mountain’s glory.”
“So I must go in.”
Ye Qiu urged: “Old man, if you keep going, you might die here, do you understand?”
“I understand,” Long Eyebrow Master gave a carefree smile, saying: “As Sima Qian said, man must die, either heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather.”
“Today, even if it means death, I must move forward.”
“For Dragon Tiger Mountain!”
His voice was soft, yet resolute and unwavering.
“Have you really thought this through?” Ye Qiu asked: “If you die here, won’t you regret it?”
“I’ll have no regrets,” Long Eyebrow Master looked at Ye Qiu, smiling: “Little brat, to be honest, when you shouted for me to stop, I also sensed danger.”
“When you asked, I pretended not to know, because I didn’t want to stop.”
“The Golden City is right there, the treasure inside can restore Dragon Tiger Mountain’s glory, how could I halt?”
“I’ve made up my mind, even if I lose my life here, I’m willing.”
“Little brat, you don’t have to risk it with me.”
Long Eyebrow Master smiled: “Since we met, I’ve saved your life, you’ve saved mine, despite our age gap, we’re like old friends.”
“If I die here, don’t grieve for me.”
“A man’s life is like grass in autumn, if I die for Dragon Tiger Mountain, it’s a worthy death.”
“But little brat, promise me, if I die, you must look after Shuisheng.”
“Shuisheng’s fate is extraordinary, if he grows up smoothly, he’ll surely shoulder Dragon Tiger Mountain’s burden.”
“With Shuisheng in charge, I’m at ease, though his mind isn’t the sharpest.”
“Little brat, promise me, you’ll take care of Shuisheng.”
Long Eyebrow Master paused, then added: “My only regret is bringing you here, yet failing to find the thousand-year elixir, but don’t worry, without it, you can still save Su Luoying.”
Ye Qiu immediately asked: “How?”
“It’s simple…” Long Eyebrow Master winked at Ye Qiu, with a sleazy grin: “You know.”
“Know what?” Ye Qiu didn’t catch on.
“Are you really clueless, or pretending?” Long Eyebrow Master said: “To save Su Luoying, just…”
“Sleep with her!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 953
Sleep with her!
Upon hearing those words, Ye Qiu’s face darkened instantly.
“Little brat, do you think that, apart from the thousand-year elixir, only a Nine Yang body can save Su Luoying?”
“No, no, no, actually, you can save her.”
“Though you’re not a Nine Yang body, your constitution far surpasses it. If you don’t believe me, try it and see.”
How could he try something like that?
If it could cure Su Luoying, fine, but if it didn’t, wouldn’t that just add to the sorrow?
“Little brat, don’t think I’m joking. I’m telling the truth.”
“Alright, I’ve said all I needed to say.”
“Little brat, take care!”
Long Eyebrow Master gave Ye Qiu a deep look, then turned and resolutely walked towards the Golden City.
Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate for a moment, stepping forward to follow.
“There’s danger here. Why are you following? Go back!” Long Eyebrow Master added: “I’m old. Even if I die here, it’s no big deal. You don’t need to risk it with me.”
“You think I’m doing this for you? Old man, you’re so full of yourself,” Ye Qiu said. “I just want to see what the treasure in the Golden City is.”
Long Eyebrow Master: “…”
Clang, clang, clang!
The Emperor Sword in Ye Qiu’s hand kept emitting cries, trembling more violently, as if it had encountered something terrifying.
“Little brat, go back!” Long Eyebrow Master urged again.
“Since I’m here, not seeing the treasure would be a regret. I’m not one to leave regrets,” Ye Qiu said, striding forward.
Long Eyebrow Master watched Ye Qiu’s back, his heart filled with emotion.
He knew Ye Qiu was doing this entirely for him.
What is a friend?
A friend is someone who, knowing the danger, still charges forward without hesitation, sharing life and death.
“Little brat, thank you,” Long Eyebrow Master thought to himself, then followed.
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master walked side by side, their bodies tense, eyes constantly scanning their surroundings.
As if facing a great enemy.
The Emperor Sword kept warning, the sense of danger growing thicker, yet neither could pinpoint its source.
“Little brat, this place is no simple matter. Be careful.”
“Mm.”
They slowed their pace.
Fully on guard.
Continuing forward.
Two hundred metres.
One hundred fifty metres.
One hundred metres.
Eighty metres…
As they drew closer to the Golden City, suddenly, the ground shook violently.
“Run!”
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master raced towards the Golden City.
However, before they reached it, a massive iron pillar burst from the ground, standing abruptly before them.
At the same time.
Iron pillars kept emerging around them.
Forty-nine in total!
Each pillar was as thick as a bathtub, about ten zhang tall, engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a terrifying aura that made their souls tremble.
Without a second thought, Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master charged forward.
Suddenly, the runes on the forty-nine pillars lit up, releasing beams of white light.
Each beam, like a rope, wove together, forming a vast net that trapped Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master inside.
Swoosh!
Ye Qiu unleashed a sword qi, striking a beam of white light.
Clang!
Sparks flew.
The white light was unscathed.
Ye Qiu immediately drew the Emperor Sword, channeling the Nine Revolutions Dragon Art, infusing internal energy into the blade, and slashing fiercely.
“Clang!”
Another burst of sparks.
The white light was indestructible.
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master finally stopped.
“What is this?” Ye Qiu asked.
Long Eyebrow Master glanced at the forty-nine iron pillars, saying gravely: “If I’m not mistaken, this is a formation.”
A formation?
Ye Qiu’s heart jolted.
He observed closely for a moment, shocked to find that none of the formations in the legacy of the Ye family ancestors matched the one before them.
How could this be?
The Ye family ancestors’ legacy included everything—divination, feng shui, talismans, martial arts secrets…
It had it all!
Even if some records weren’t comprehensive, there’d be at least a mention, but for this formation, Ye Qiu searched the entire legacy and found no trace of information.
“Old man, do you know what formation this is?” Ye Qiu asked again.
Long Eyebrow Master shook his head, replying: “I haven’t figured it out yet.”
Ye Qiu said: “We need to find a way to break out.”
Long Eyebrow Master nodded, pointing at the interwoven beams of white light, saying: “These beams come from the runes on the pillars. To break the formation, we must first destroy the pillars.”
Ye Qiu didn’t hesitate, crouching into a horse stance, channeling the Nine Revolutions Dragon Art. Internal energy surged from his dantian, flowing through his meridians, quickly gathering in his right fist.
Soon, a faint golden glow appeared on his fist.
Ye Qiu clenched his fist, charging forward, smashing it fiercely against a pillar.
“Boom!”
A loud crash.
The pillar didn’t budge, but Ye Qiu was thrown back a dozen steps. When he steadied himself, he looked down and saw his right hand bleeding.
“This…”
Ye Qiu’s face was unprecedentedly solemn.
He had used all his strength just now. Even a peerless master like Long Eyebrow Master, with six strands of true qi, would be crushed by such a punch.
Yet, unbelievably, the pillar didn’t even flinch.
“Again!”
Ye Qiu, heedless of consequences, unleashed the second move of the Grass Sword Art.
Boom!
The sword struck the pillar.
Clang!
The sound of the collision was deafening.
The incomparably sharp Emperor Sword not only failed to cut the pillar but didn’t even leave a scratch.
“How is it so tough?”
Ye Qiu stepped forward, touching the pillar. Moments later, he noticed something, his pupils shrinking: “This… it’s black iron!”
At that moment, the forty-nine pillars hummed and trembled, the runes on them flowing.
The scenery before them vanished instantly.
Aside from the forty-nine pillars and the interwoven white beams, nothing could be seen.
A fierce wind rose.
Sand and stones flew.
“Roar—”
A deafening dragon cry sounded.
The three strands of innate true qi in Ye Qiu’s body, as if sensing their master’s danger, surged out, manifesting behind him.
Ye Qiu knew that without extreme danger, his innate true qi wouldn’t act this way.
This meant he and Long Eyebrow Master were facing a life-or-death crisis.
“These pillars are made of black iron, indestructible, and the runes are mysterious and unpredictable. Old man, we need to find a way to break this formation, or we’ll be trapped here to death…”
Ye Qiu turned, seeing Long Eyebrow Master standing like a wooden post, dazed. Furious, he roared: “Old man, at a life-or-death moment, why are you spacing out?”
Long Eyebrow Master said in terror: “Little brat, I’m sorry, I’ve doomed you.”
“We’re done for.”
“Completely done for…”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 954
Ye Qiu had never seen Long Eyebrow Master so terrified, and asked: “Have you figured something out?”
Long Eyebrow Master said: “I’ve recognised this formation. It’s mentioned in the ancient texts of Dragon Tiger Mountain. I just remembered.”
“This formation is called the Heaven-Piercing Killing Array.”
“According to the texts, the Heaven-Piercing Killing Array is indestructible, nearly impossible to break, one of the most formidable killing arrays of ancient and modern times.”
A formidable killing array!
Hearing those four words, Ye Qiu’s heart jolted, but Long Eyebrow Master’s next words shocked him even more.
“What is the Heaven-Piercing Killing Array? As the name suggests, this formation can harness the power of the heavens.”
“Of course, that’s likely an exaggeration, but once trapped in the Heaven-Piercing Killing Array, you’ll face attacks from wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.”
“Moreover, the array is already indestructible, and these pillars are made of black iron, making it even stronger.”
“Little brat, we’re done for this time.”
At this, Long Eyebrow Master suddenly slapped his own face, cursing: “I’m such an idiot. I shouldn’t have brought you here.”
“Little brat, I’m sorry.”
“I’ve doomed you!”
Though Ye Qiu knew their situation was dire, he remained relatively calm.
After all, he had faced numerous life-or-death crises, each time teetering on the edge of death.
“Old man, what’s done is done. No need to blame yourself.”
“Besides, even if we die here, I won’t hold it against you.”
“Since the Dragon Tiger Mountain texts mention the Heaven-Piercing Killing Array, do they say how to break it?”
Long Eyebrow Master sighed: “There’s only one way to break it—brute force!”
Brute force?
Ye Qiu understood instantly, asking: “You mean we have to destroy the array to break it?”
“Exactly,” Long Eyebrow Master said. “There are forty-nine iron pillars. Destroy just one, and the array will collapse.”
“Otherwise, we’ll not only face attacks from wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, but we’ll also be trapped here until we die.”
“Once we’re dead, the array will break on its own.”
Ye Qiu frowned. In his understanding, most formations could be broken by finding the array’s eye.
“Old man, doesn’t this formation have an eye?” Ye Qiu asked.
“It does,” Long Eyebrow Master said. “All forty-nine pillars are array eyes, so breaking one will do.”
Damn it!
Ye Qiu wanted to curse.
Long Eyebrow Master continued: “For now, the only way is to destroy one pillar.”
Ye Qiu said gravely: “I’ve tried. The pillars are indestructible. They can’t be broken.”
Whoosh—
At that moment, a strange cold wind swept through the array, the temperature dropping as if to minus one hundred degrees.
The chill pierced their bodies.
“Achoo—”
Even with Ye Qiu’s cultivation, he couldn’t help but shiver.
Long Eyebrow Master trembled, hugging himself, shaking violently.
Fortunately, they had strong cultivation. If they were only at the Tiger List level, they’d likely freeze to death.
“Little brat, see that? This is the power of the Heaven-Piercing Killing Array…”
Before Long Eyebrow Master could finish, raindrops began to fall.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
The rain was dense.
Long Eyebrow Master immediately channeled his true qi for defence, but when the raindrops hit him, though they didn’t break his skin, they caused pain.
Ye Qiu was shocked. The raindrops were like knives, incredibly sharp.
However, Ye Qiu’s body was exceptionally resilient, and the rain couldn’t harm him.
“Old man, we need to find a way to break the array. Only then will we be safe,” Ye Qiu said.
Long Eyebrow Master said: “We have to find a way to destroy a pillar.”
“I’ll try again.”
With that, Ye Qiu unleashed all his ultimate moves.
Six Meridians Divine Sword, Grass Sword Art, Five Thunder Curse, Killing Technique, Nine Revolutions Dragon Art…
Boom, boom, boom!
Ye Qiu bombarded the pillar before him, using every trump card, but when his strength was exhausted, the pillar remained unmoved, completely unscathed.
“Old man, see that? The pillar can’t be destroyed.”
Ye Qiu’s earlier onslaught could have killed a master with seven strands of true qi, yet it didn’t even scratch the pillar.
Not a single mark was left.
At this point, Ye Qiu felt a twinge of despair.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared above Ye Qiu’s head, without any warning.
Ye Qiu jumped in fright.
At the critical moment, his three strands of innate true qi blocked the lightning for him.
“Boom!”
Another bolt of lightning struck, its power immense, sending Long Eyebrow Master flying.
Long Eyebrow Master crashed dozens of metres away, his body charred, hair dishevelled, his Taoist robe torn to shreds.
“Old man, are you alright?” Ye Qiu asked with concern.
“I’m fine, cough, cough…” Long Eyebrow Master got up from the ground, blood dripping from his mouth.
Ye Qiu’s heart raced with anxiety.
What to do?
How could they destroy a pillar?
If they couldn’t, the array would keep unleashing wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and they’d face relentless attacks.
Long Eyebrow Master wiped the blood from his mouth, standing still, saying: “Little brat, I need to tell you something. Don’t hit me.”
“What is it?” Ye Qiu asked, puzzled.
Long Eyebrow Master said: “Those ten sword talismans I sold you… well, actually…”
Seeing him hesitate, Ye Qiu immediately sensed something, saying coldly: “There’s a problem with the sword talismans?”
“A slight problem…” Long Eyebrow Master, seeing Ye Qiu’s dark expression, quickly added: “But it’s not a big deal.”
“A few of those ten sword talismans were drawn by me.”
Damn it!
Ye Qiu wanted to slap the old man dead.
He had bought so many sword talismans from Long Eyebrow Master for the final battle at the Forbidden City, but he never imagined they’d be fake.
If Long Eyebrow Master hadn’t confessed, and Ye Qiu only discovered the fakes during the battle, it would be too late.
“I told you I want to rebuild Dragon Tiger Mountain, which needs a lot of money, so…”
“Well, I wanted to make some money off you.”
“Little brat, don’t be angry. Though some of the sword talismans I drew have little power, still…”
Ye Qiu interrupted Long Eyebrow Master: “Tell me, of the ten sword talismans, how many did you draw?”
Long Eyebrow Master grinned: “Not many, not many. Nine were drawn by me, only one is real.”
You’re asking for it!
Ye Qiu radiated a chilling killing intent, but suddenly, he felt something odd.
“Old man, why are you telling me this now?” Ye Qiu asked.
“If I don’t tell you now, I might not get the chance later,” Long Eyebrow Master said, his smile fading, his expression serious: “The Heaven-Piercing Killing Array is formidable, but not unbreakable.”
“Little brat, watch closely.”
“I’ll break it right now!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 955
Break it?
I couldn’t break it, so what can you do?
As Ye Qiu thought this, he suddenly noticed a powerful aura emanating from Long Eyebrow Master.
At the same time, Long Eyebrow Master’s expression was filled with resolve.
“Old man, are you… going all out?”
Ye Qiu realised instantly and shouted urgently: “Old man, stop!”
“It’s just a formation. We can figure out a way to break it together.”
“Stop it now.”
As he spoke, Ye Qiu rushed towards Long Eyebrow Master, but before he could get close, a brilliant golden light erupted from Long Eyebrow Master, forcing him back.
Long Eyebrow Master held a golden compass in his hands.
“The Heavenly Mechanism Disk!”
Ye Qiu recognised it at once as Long Eyebrow Master’s Heavenly Mechanism Disk.
Long Eyebrow Master bit his middle finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the disk. Instantly, the disk radiated golden light.
Bathed in the golden glow, with his long hair fluttering, Long Eyebrow Master exuded an extraordinary presence.
It was a pity his Taoist robe was tattered, or he would have looked like an immortal.
“Little brat, no matter what happens next, don’t interfere, or I’ll fail,” Long Eyebrow Master warned.
Worried for Long Eyebrow Master’s safety, Ye Qiu urged: “Old man, stop first. Let’s find a way to break the formation together.”
Long Eyebrow Master shook his head: “It’s no use. With our current cultivation, ordinary methods can’t break the Heaven-Piercing Killing Array.”
“The Scarlet Heaven is an Emperor’s sword, yet it couldn’t damage the pillars. What else can you think of?”
“Besides, the Heavenly Mechanism Disk is fully activated now. It can’t be stopped.”
At this, Long Eyebrow Master glanced at Ye Qiu, smiling: “Are you worried about me?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
“The Heavenly Mechanism Disk was crafted by the second-generation leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Its power is immense, and it will protect me.”
“Little brat, step back.”
Ignoring Ye Qiu, Long Eyebrow Master muttered incantations, his right hand forming a sword gesture, tracing patterns over the Heavenly Mechanism Disk.
Moments later.
“Hum!”
The disk rose from Long Eyebrow Master’s hands, hovering three zhang above the ground, emitting an even more dazzling light than before.
“Go!”
With a soft shout from Long Eyebrow Master, the disk shot towards a pillar, followed by a massive explosion.
“Boom!”
The Heavenly Mechanism Disk shattered.
Instantly, Long Eyebrow Master was thrown back, crashing more than ten metres away, blood gushing from his mouth.
Ye Qiu was also knocked back by the blast’s shockwave.
“Old man!”
Ye Qiu scrambled up, wanting to rush over to help Long Eyebrow Master.
“Don’t come closer!” Long Eyebrow Master raised a hand to stop Ye Qiu, then coughed violently.
“Cough, cough…”
Blood kept dripping from Long Eyebrow Master’s mouth.
Ye Qiu could tell Long Eyebrow Master was gravely injured and asked urgently: “Old man, how are you? Is it serious?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die,” Long Eyebrow Master slowly stood up, giving Ye Qiu a weak smile. But soon, his smile vanished, and he shouted: “Little brat, watch out—”
Boom!
A bolt of lightning appeared abruptly behind Ye Qiu, without warning, moving impossibly fast.
Bang!
Ye Qiu took the lightning head-on. Though unharmed, he was still sent flying.
At that moment.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Three more lightning bolts appeared in the array, striking Long Eyebrow Master and sending him flying.
“Old man!”
Ye Qiu rushed forward like a gust of wind, appearing behind Long Eyebrow Master and catching him.
He quickly checked Long Eyebrow Master, noting that the three lightning strikes had caused only minor surface wounds, though no serious harm.
Ye Qiu grabbed Long Eyebrow Master’s wrist, checking his pulse, and found severe internal injuries.
Without a word, Ye Qiu pressed a palm to Long Eyebrow Master’s back, channeling a strand of true qi into him.
Long Eyebrow Master twisted his body, stopping Ye Qiu from transferring more true qi.
“Old man, your internal injuries are serious. You need treatment now,” Ye Qiu said, preparing to channel more true qi.
“Ye Qiu, don’t waste your true qi on me. Don’t worry, I’m not dying yet…”
Crack!
A sound rang out nearby.
Though faint, it caught both their attention.
Ye Qiu and Long Eyebrow Master turned simultaneously, looking at the pillar.
“Crack… crack…”
The pillar struck by the Heavenly Mechanism Disk began to show cracks.
One, two, three…
In an instant.
Hundreds of cracks appeared on the pillar, densely packed.
Ye Qiu was shocked.
He had unleashed all his trump cards and struck the pillar with the Emperor Sword, yet it remained unscathed. He hadn’t expected the explosion of the Heavenly Mechanism Disk to be so powerful.
This wasn’t an ordinary pillar—it was made of black iron!
“Crack, crack, crack…”
More cracks kept appearing on the pillar.
Two minutes passed.
The cracks stopped.
“Boom!”
Ye Qiu stood and threw a fierce punch at the pillar, but it didn’t budge.
This…
Ye Qiu was stunned.
Clang!
He drew the Emperor Sword and slashed the pillar.
The pillar remained unscathed.
“Damn it!” Ye Qiu cursed.
“Little brat, don’t waste your strength. It’s useless,” Long Eyebrow Master said, a glint of determination in his eyes. “I want to see just how tough this blasted pillar is.”
Seeing Long Eyebrow Master’s expression, Ye Qiu knew he was about to go all out again and urged: “Old man, your injuries are serious. Let me heal you first, then we’ll figure it out.”
“Oh, the sword talismans are on me.”
“I’ll try with the sword talismans.”
Ye Qiu quickly pulled out the sword talismans, glancing at them. The ten talismans looked identical, impossible to tell apart. He asked: “Old man, which one is real?”
Long Eyebrow Master avoided Ye Qiu’s gaze, saying: “They’re all fake.”
What?
“Didn’t you say one was real?” Ye Qiu asked.
Long Eyebrow Master said quietly: “I lied.”
Ye Qiu: “…”
If they weren’t trapped in the array, and if Long Eyebrow Master wasn’t injured, Ye Qiu would have beaten him half to death.
He hadn’t expected all ten sword talismans to be fake. This old man was such a scam.
Long Eyebrow Master said: “Even if the sword talismans were real, they couldn’t break the Heaven-Piercing Killing Array. The one who set this formation must be an unparalleled master.”
“Little brat, this time I’ve really doomed you.”
“If I hadn’t called you to Changbai Mountain, we wouldn’t be in this crisis.”
“But don’t worry, I won’t let you die here.”
With that, Long Eyebrow Master stomped his right foot heavily on the ground.
“Thud!”
His body instantly rose three metres, hovering in the air.
Then,
Long Eyebrow Master flicked his tattered robe, shouting: “Heaven—Master—Seal!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 956
“Whoosh!”
A square seal flew out from the sleeve of Master Longbrow’s Taoist robe.
The Heavenly Master Seal!
Master Longbrow extended his hand, and the Heavenly Master Seal landed in his left palm.
“Little rascal, step back, lest you get caught in the aftermath.”
“By the way, don’t forget what I said, take care of Shuisheng for me.”
“Please!”
Ye Qiu’s heart was anxious, and he shouted loudly, “Old thing, stop for a moment, we’ll definitely find a way to break the formation.”
Master Longbrow gave a faint smile, not stopping, but instead bit his right middle finger.
Then, he silently chanted a spell, and in an instant, blood spurted out.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The blood that spurted from Master Longbrow’s finger didn’t drip to the ground, but instead gathered in the air, forming a blood thread that wrapped around the Heavenly Master Seal.
Master Longbrow looked at the Heavenly Master Seal, his expression solemn, and said, “Today, your later disciple Longbrow is trapped in a deadly formation, with no other choice, I use the method of offering the seal, please, Ancestral Master, grant my request.”
The Heavenly Master Seal showed no response.
Master Longbrow continued, “Please, Ancestral Master, grant my request!”
The Heavenly Master Seal still showed not the slightest reaction.
Master Longbrow’s right hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and in that instant, the wound on his middle finger split open, blood gushing out, a thread as thick as a teacup rapidly wrapping around the Heavenly Master Seal.
“With my blood, I break the heavens, please, Ancestral Master, grant my request!”
Master Longbrow roared loudly.
“Buzz!”
The small Heavenly Master Seal suddenly flew into the air, emitting an unparalleled brilliant white light, like a star, illuminating the surrounding world.
Master Longbrow was overjoyed, his hands quickly forming seals in front of him.
Ten seconds later.
Master Longbrow turned his head to glance at Ye Qiu, his lips moving slightly.
Ye Qiu saw it, Master Longbrow had mouthed three words to him.
Farewell forever!
“No, don’t, ”
Ye Qiu’s words were cut off as he saw Master Longbrow’s hands fiercely push forward.
“Break!”
The Heavenly Master Seal, like a star, crashed heavily into the iron pillar.
Boom!
A violent explosion rang out.
A cloud of dust rose.
The explosion’s force was so immense that Ye Qiu instantly lost his hearing, his mind buzzing, and he fainted on the ground.
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
Ye Qiu slowly woke up, opening his eyes to see shattered iron fragments scattered everywhere, like sand.
The iron pillar was broken.
The other forty-eight iron pillars were gone too.
The Heavenly Killing Formation was broken.
However, Ye Qiu felt no joy, hurriedly scrambling up from the ground, “Old thing, old thing…”
Soon, he saw Master Longbrow.
Master Longbrow lay on the ground, covered in blood, motionless.
“Old thing!”
Tears welled up in Ye Qiu’s eyes as he rushed to Master Longbrow’s side, grasping his pulse.
His meridians were severed.
His five organs were severely injured.
Master Longbrow’s life force was rapidly fading.
Only his last breath remained!
Ye Qiu quickly channelled his innate true qi into Master Longbrow’s body, then pulled out golden needles to treat him.
Ye Qiu applied countless acupuncture techniques to Master Longbrow’s body.
Seven Star Needle Technique, Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, Taiyi Divine Needle…
Dozens of needle techniques in total.
However, the effect was minimal.
It wasn’t that Ye Qiu’s medical skills were lacking, but Master Longbrow’s injuries were simply too severe, with a violent aura in his body threatening to swallow his last breath.
Without time to think, Ye Qiu immediately crushed a hundred-year-old lingzhi and a five-hundred-year-old ginseng, feeding their medicinal liquid into Master Longbrow’s mouth.
He then channelled three streams of innate true qi into Master Longbrow’s meridians, completely suppressing that violent aura.
After a long while, Master Longbrow finally opened his eyes with difficulty.
Ye Qiu was overjoyed, “Old thing, you’re awake? How do you feel now?”
“Little rascal, I, where am I?” Master Longbrow asked weakly, “Are we in the underworld?”
Ye Qiu said, “We’re still at the bottom of Tianchi, the Heavenly Killing Formation is broken.”
“The bottom of Tianchi?” Master Longbrow looked around, saying, “Why do I see only darkness?”
What!
“Little rascal, where are you? Why can’t I see you, have you turned into a ghost?” Master Longbrow said again.
Only then did Ye Qiu notice that Master Longbrow’s eyes were lifeless, his pupils without any focus.
Could it be…
Ye Qiu’s heart panicked, waving his hand in front of Master Longbrow’s eyes, asking, “I’m right in front of you, can’t you see me?”
Master Longbrow shook his head, “This poor Taoist sees nothing.”
It’s over, the old thing is blind!
Ye Qiu immediately activated his Heavenly Eye, staring at Master Longbrow’s eyes, his vision instantly penetrating the blood vessels around them.
Ye Qiu found that Master Longbrow’s blood vessels were not blocked, perfectly normal.
How could this be?
“Little rascal, is this really the bottom of Tianchi?” Master Longbrow asked in disbelief.
“Yes, we’re still at the bottom of Tianchi,” Ye Qiu said, “That iron pillar was destroyed by you with the Heavenly Master Seal.”
“So, this poor Taoist isn’t dead?” Master Longbrow said in surprise.
“You’re not dead, but old thing, your eyes…” Ye Qiu’s voice choked up.
“Hahaha…”
Master Longbrow laughed heartily, saying, “Not dead is good, not dead is good.”
“As for my eyes, they must have been injured by the backlash, blind is blind!”
“This poor Taoist thought I was done for this time, but it seems my life isn’t meant to end yet, by the way, where’s the Heavenly Master Seal?”
Ye Qiu searched for a while, retrieved the Heavenly Master Seal, and handed it to Master Longbrow, saying, “The Heavenly Master Seal is broken into three pieces.”
Master Longbrow held the shattered Heavenly Master Seal, sighing, “The Heavenly Master Seal is one of the treasures of our Dragon Tiger Mountain, a powerful magical artifact passed down for a thousand years, I never thought I’d break it, I hope the ancestors of Dragon Tiger Mountain won’t blame me.”
“Old thing, you’re badly injured, rest for now, I’ll treat you some more.”
Ye Qiu finished speaking and continued treating Master Longbrow.
It took a full three hours before Master Longbrow’s condition improved slightly, enough to stand and walk.
“Little rascal, since the Heavenly Killing Formation is broken, let’s go take a look at the Golden City!”
“Help this poor Taoist up.”
Ye Qiu supported Master Longbrow to stand, then slowly walked toward the Golden City.
After a while, the two stood before the Golden City.
Master Longbrow took a deep breath, saying, “This poor Taoist smells the scent of wealth, what a pity, I can’t see it.”
Ye Qiu’s heart ached again.
“Come, lead this poor Taoist inside to take a look,” Master Longbrow said.
Ye Qiu supported Master Longbrow, entering the Golden City.
The interior of the Golden City wasn’t large, about one hundred square metres, with a stone table in the centre.
On the stone table sat a square wooden box.
Nothing else was there.
Ye Qiu helped Master Longbrow to the stone table, observed for a moment, found no danger, and carefully opened the wooden box.
The next second, Ye Qiu’s expression changed drastically!
Miracle Doctor Chapter 957
Ye Qiu’s expression changed drastically.
After opening the wooden box, his gaze fell upon a square jade seal.
The jade seal measured four inches on each side, carved from white jade, with five golden dragons intertwined on top, vivid and lifelike.
Though the jade seal was small, it exuded a grand and majestic aura.
“Little rascal, what do you see? Is there a pile of gold, silver, and jewels inside?” Master Longbrow asked.
Ye Qiu shook his head, “There’s no gold, silver, or jewels here.”
“Impossible! Master Dongxuan said there’s a great treasure here,” Master Longbrow asked, “Little rascal, what did you find?”
Ye Qiu said, “There’s only a jade seal here.”
A jade seal?
Master Longbrow’s expression soured, “Could it be that the great treasure Master Dongxuan spoke of is just a jade seal?”
“But how could a mere jade seal help our Dragon Tiger Mountain regain its former glory?”
“Little rascal, check the base of the jade seal, which emperor’s reign mark is it?”
Ye Qiu reached out, taking the jade seal from the wooden box.
Instantly, his palm felt heavy.
At the same time, Ye Qiu had a peculiar sensation, as if holding this jade seal made him an emperor ruling over the world.
Ye Qiu examined it and found the five golden dragons carved with exquisite detail, remarkably lifelike.
As for the white jade beneath the dragons, it was crystal clear, without a single impurity, emitting a soft white glow.
Though Ye Qiu didn’t yet know which emperor had used this jade seal, he could tell at a glance that it was no ordinary object, undoubtedly a supreme treasure among jade seals.
Compared to the jade seal in the coffin of the Long family’s ancestral tomb, the one in his hand was worlds apart, the other being mere rubbish.
“Little rascal, did you see it? Which emperor’s jade seal is it?” Master Longbrow asked again.
“I haven’t looked yet,” Ye Qiu said, turning the jade seal over.
The base faced upward.
A few seal characters appeared before his eyes.
Ye Qiu studied them for a moment, his pupils suddenly widening, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
Hiss!
Ye Qiu drew a sharp breath.
How could this be?
Seeing Ye Qiu’s prolonged silence, Master Longbrow grew impatient, asking, “What exactly did you see? Which emperor’s jade seal is it?”
Ye Qiu steadied himself and said, “It’s the jade seal of Qin Shihuang.”
“Just a jade seal, what use could it be to our Dragon Tiger Mountain? Master Dongxuan wasn’t deceiving us…” Master Longbrow suddenly reacted, exclaiming, “What did you say? Whose jade seal?”
Ye Qiu replied, “It’s the jade seal of Qin Shihuang.”
Could it be…
Master Longbrow thought of a possibility, his breathing quickening as he urgently asked, “What characters are engraved on the jade seal?”
Ye Qiu said, “‘Ordained by Heaven, Eternal Prosperity!’”
Boom!
Master Longbrow froze, then his face lit up with wild joy, “I never imagined, it’s actually the long-lost Imperial Seal of the Realm.”
“The Imperial Seal of the Realm was crafted from the He’s Jade, passed down from the First Emperor through many emperors, imbued with immense cosmic fortune.”
“As long as I bring the Imperial Seal of the Realm back to Dragon Tiger Mountain, our sect’s fortune will soar, and it won’t be long before Dragon Tiger Mountain can reclaim its thousand-year glory.”
“I knew Master Dongxuan wouldn’t deceive me, it truly is a great treasure, no, a world-defining treasure!”
“Little rascal, quick, let me touch the Imperial Seal of the Realm.”
Ye Qiu handed the Imperial Seal of the Realm to Master Longbrow.
The moment Master Longbrow’s fingers touched the Imperial Seal, a “sizzle” sounded as smoke rose, and several blisters appeared on his fingers.
“Little rascal, you bloody tricked me!” Master Longbrow quickly withdrew his hand, cursing, “What did you give me to touch?”
“It’s like a burning coal!”
Ye Qiu was somewhat astonished.
Master Longbrow’s fingers had been burned the moment they touched the jade seal, what was going on?
“Old thing, what you touched was the Imperial Seal of the Realm,” Ye Qiu said.
“Nonsense!” Master Longbrow cursed, “How could the Imperial Seal of the Realm feel like burning coal?”
Ye Qiu said, “I don’t know, but I feel nothing holding it in my hand.”
Master Longbrow said, “I’m warning you, little rascal, don’t take advantage of my blindness to fool me. Hurry up, let me touch the Imperial Seal of the Realm.”
Ye Qiu once again handed the Imperial Seal of the Realm to Master Longbrow.
The situation was the same as before.
The moment Master Longbrow’s fingers touched the Imperial Seal, smoke rose again, blisters densely forming on two fingers, causing him to howl in pain.
Ye Qiu quickly drew a talisman to ease Master Longbrow’s pain.
“Little rascal, are you sure what you gave me to touch is the Imperial Seal of the Realm?”
“It really is.”
“Again!” Master Longbrow said, forcibly circulating his true qi.
In an instant, six streams of true qi appeared in Master Longbrow’s right palm, and he pressed it onto the Imperial Seal of the Realm.
“This poor Taoist touched it, it really is a jade seal…”
Before Master Longbrow could finish, a brilliant golden light erupted from the Imperial Seal of the Realm, an aura of supreme dominance rushing forth.
“Boom!”
Master Longbrow was blasted back, spitting blood.
The Imperial Seal of the Realm fell toward the ground.
Ye Qiu, quick of eye and hand, caught the Imperial Seal of the Realm, then swiftly moved to support Master Longbrow.
“Old thing, are you alright?” Ye Qiu asked with concern.
Master Longbrow, ignoring his own injuries, asked, “The Imperial Seal of the Realm, is it undamaged?”
Ye Qiu said, “The Imperial Seal of the Realm is in my hand, it’s not damaged.”
“Good,” Master Longbrow said, reaching out to touch the Imperial Seal again, but then pulled back, sighing, “Now I understand why Master Dongxuan didn’t take the Imperial Seal of the Realm back to Dragon Tiger Mountain.”
“Why?” Ye Qiu was also curious.
Why didn’t Master Dongxuan take this world-defining treasure?
“Because only someone with immense cosmic fortune can take the Imperial Seal of the Realm,” Master Longbrow said, “After Qin Shihuang swept through the six states and unified the realm, he ordered Chancellor Li Si to carve the Imperial Seal of the Realm from the He’s Jade, and from then on, it became the token of legitimate emperors through the ages.”
“Later, during times of war, the Imperial Seal of the Realm disappeared, its whereabouts unknown, sought by countless emperors.”
“Who would’ve thought it was here…”
“No wonder they say, ‘He who obtains the Golden City obtains the world,’ it’s because the Golden City holds the Imperial Seal of the Realm.”
“Damn it, if I’d known, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”
“All that effort, and my eyes are blind, only for you, little rascal, to benefit, so infuriating!”
Ye Qiu’s heart stirred, “Old thing, are you saying I can take the Imperial Seal of the Realm?”
“Nonsense! You’re the chosen one…”
Master Longbrow suddenly stopped, pausing before continuing, “If you can’t take the Imperial Seal of the Realm, then no one in the world can.”
Oh?
Ye Qiu held the Imperial Seal of the Realm, examining it closely.
After a while, suddenly, the three streams of innate true qi in Ye Qiu’s body grew restless, surging out from the top of his head, emitting a resounding dragon’s roar.
At that moment, something unexpected happened.
Miracle Doctor Chapter 958
“Roar!”
The Imperial Seal of the Realm suddenly emitted a deafening dragon’s cry.
Immediately after, a golden dragon shadow burst out from the Imperial Seal, materialising before Ye Qiu.
This dragon shadow was about three metres long, complete with a dragon’s head, eyes, teeth, whiskers, scales, and tail…
Every detail was vivid and lifelike.
Moreover, the dragon shadow radiated dazzling golden light, as if forged from gold, so bright it was hard to keep one’s eyes open.
The three streams of innate true qi faced off against the dragon shadow from a distance.
In comparison, the golden light emitted by the three streams of innate true qi appeared much dimmer.
The sudden change stunned Ye Qiu.
“Old thing, what’s happening?” Ye Qiu asked.
Though Master Longbrow couldn’t see, he heard the resounding dragon’s cry and asked, “Has something changed with the Imperial Seal of the Realm?”
“A golden dragon shadow rushed out from the Imperial Seal,” Ye Qiu said, as the dragon shadow appeared above his head, casting rays of golden light that enveloped his entire body.
At that moment, Ye Qiu resembled a divine being.
In that instant, he felt as though he had become the supreme ruler in a royal court, revered by thousands.
He also felt as if he stood atop a mountain peak, gazing down at lesser hills.
At the same time, he felt like an emperor, reigning over the world.
In short, the sensation was extraordinary.
“Little rascal, quickly absorb that dragon shadow, it’s the fortune of heaven and earth, once you obtain it, it will bring you immense benefits in the future,” Master Longbrow said.
Ye Qiu was about to ask how to absorb it when the dragon shadow suddenly swooped down, darting into his Baihui acupoint like lightning.
His body shuddered.
Ye Qiu felt as though he had gained something, but upon closer inspection, he found nothing.
“Roar!”
The three streams of innate true qi let out a jubilant dragon’s cry before returning to Ye Qiu’s body.
Puff!
At that moment, the Imperial Seal of the Realm turned to dust.
Ye Qiu felt a pang of heartache.
This was a peerless national treasure, destroyed just like that, what a pity!
“Old thing, the Imperial Seal of the Realm is destroyed,” Ye Qiu said.
“As expected,” Master Longbrow said, “I once read in the notes of Zhang Tianshi, the founder of Dragon Tiger Mountain, that the fortune of the human race is divided into ten parts, and the Imperial Seal of the Realm carried one part of that fortune.”
“Little rascal, you’re very lucky.”
“I’m so jealous my balls are turning purple.”
At this moment, Master Longbrow, disregarding his dignity as a sect leader, spouted vulgarities.
Ye Qiu asked, “What’s the use of the fortune of heaven and earth?”
Master Longbrow explained, “To put it simply, those who obtain the fortune of heaven and earth will have much better luck than ordinary people.”
“If I had obtained it, Dragon Tiger Mountain would soon rise to glory.”
“In ancient times, anyone who gained one part of the fortune of heaven and earth could become a true dragon emperor, the supreme ruler, commanding the world.”
“As for the benefits to you, you’ll feel them in time.”
Ye Qiu asked again, “Old thing, you said the fortune of heaven and earth has ten parts, where are the other nine?”
“How would I know? The ancestral master didn’t say,” Master Longbrow replied, then added, “But in his notes, the ancestral master mentioned that the human race has ten parts of fortune, and whoever gathers all ten can command the entire human race.”
That’s it?
Ye Qiu curled his lip.
He wasn’t interested in commanding the human race; he only wanted to destroy the Forbidden City to avenge Ye Wu Shuang, then live happily ever after with Lin Jingzhi and the others.
“This poor Taoist made so many preparations, went through countless hardships to get here, finally saw the great treasure, only for you to snatch it up. Damn it, it’s infuriating just thinking about it.”
Master Longbrow said angrily, “Little rascal, you got the fortune of heaven and earth, but you better not compete with me for that supreme white jade coffin.”
“Alright,” Ye Qiu agreed verbally, but in his mind, he thought, *Even if I don’t compete with you, you won’t get it anyway.*
Before heading deeper into the restricted area with Master Longbrow, he had quietly instructed Tang Fei to transport the supreme white jade coffin away. By now, Tang Fei had likely already moved it.
“Let’s go!” Master Longbrow said.
Ye Qiu asked, “Do you still want this Golden City?”
“No,” Master Longbrow said, “This poor Taoist no longer has the strength to rebuild Dragon Tiger Mountain, that responsibility falls to Shuisheng!”
“Little rascal, help me walk!”
Ye Qiu supported Master Longbrow, and the two retraced their steps.
At dawn, Ye Qiu and Master Longbrow emerged from the Changbai Mountain restricted area, unexpectedly finding Tang Fei and the mountain guardian uncle waiting for them.
“Why didn’t you go back?” Ye Qiu asked Tang Fei.
Tang Fei said, “The War God heard you entered the Changbai Mountain restricted area, worried you’d face danger, so he told me to wait here for you.”
“The war god is thoughtful, thank him for me when you return,” Ye Qiu said gratefully.
Master Longbrow asked, “Tang Fei, did you transport the supreme white jade coffin to Dragon Tiger Mountain as I asked?”
Tang Fei replied, “I’ve already transported the jade coffin back to the Hades Hall base.”
What?!
“I’ll kill you!”
Master Longbrow swung a slap, missing Tang Fei, and staggered, nearly falling to the ground.
Ye Qiu quickly stepped forward to steady him.
Only then did Tang Fei notice something off about Master Longbrow, asking, “Ye Qiu, what’s wrong with the master…”
“His eyes are damaged,” Ye Qiu said, giving Tang Fei a meaningful look.
Tang Fei understood, his heart filled with shock. He wanted to ask Ye Qiu what they had encountered in the Changbai Mountain restricted area, and why Master Longbrow had gone blind.
The words reached his lips, but he swallowed them back.
“You little bastard, I helped you deal with trouble, and you sent the damn jade coffin to the Hades Hall base, what are your intentions!” Master Longbrow roared furiously.
This trip to Changbai Mountain was mainly for the great treasure in the Golden City, but the Imperial Seal of the Realm was claimed by Ye Qiu, and the supreme white jade coffin he’d been obsessing over was sent to Hades Hall by Tang Fei.
All his efforts were for nothing.
Worse still, he’d lost his sight.
Master Longbrow was so angry he spat blood.
Tang Fei explained, “Master, the supreme white jade coffin is a national treasure, I was ordered by the War God to transport it back, please don’t take offence.”
Ye Qiu also advised, “It’s done, old thing, don’t get angry.”
“What do you mean, I’m not allowed to be angry?” Master Longbrow raged, “I got nothing from this trip, I, I don’t want to live, I want to die.”
Ye Qiu said, “How about this, I’ll cover the costs to rebuild Dragon Tiger Mountain.”
What?
Master Longbrow thought he’d misheard, “Little rascal, are you serious?”
“Yes,” Ye Qiu affirmed.
Master Longbrow said, “By my rough estimate, rebuilding Dragon Tiger Mountain will cost at least ten billion, are you sure you want to pay for it?”
“I’m sure,” Ye Qiu said, “No matter how much it takes to rebuild Dragon Tiger Mountain, I’ll cover it all.”
The reason Ye Qiu did this was to compensate Master Longbrow.
On this trip to the northeast, he had gained the most, while Master Longbrow risked his life to break the formation, lost his sight, and ended up with nothing. Ye Qiu wanted to make it up to him.
Master Longbrow finally calmed down, “Little rascal, you’ve got some conscience, unlike certain people, ungrateful wolves.”
Tang Fei knew Master Longbrow was cursing him but pretended not to hear.
Master Longbrow said, “Little rascal, since you’re helping me rebuild Dragon Tiger Mountain, this poor Taoist will share a top-secret piece of information with you.”
“What information?” Ye Qiu asked.
“It concerns the Forbidden City!”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 959
Concerning the Forbidden City?
Ye Qiu’s heart stirred, and he asked, “What’s the top-secret information?”
Master Longbrow countered, “Little rascal, do you know about the Sword Pavilion?”
The Sword Pavilion?
Ye Qiu looked puzzled, “What’s that?”
Tang Fei, standing nearby, explained, “The Sword Pavilion in Shu was a faction, destroyed by your father, Ye Wu Shuang, over twenty years ago.”
“I saw it in the top-secret files of Hades Hall.”
Ye Qiu asked Master Longbrow, “A faction that’s already been wiped out, why bring it up?”
Master Longbrow said, “It’s true the Sword Pavilion in Shu was destroyed, but some slipped through the net.”
“And it’s a big fish.”
“When your father annihilated the Sword Pavilion, its leader, Zhuge Yun, escaped.”
Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed. Over twenty years ago, his father, Ye Wu Shuang, was recognised as the world’s greatest master. For Zhuge Yun to escape from his father’s grasp, this man must be extraordinary.
Master Longbrow continued, “You should know that the turmoil in the capital back then was sparked by Zhuge Qing, the Straight-Talking Prophet, who claimed you were a calamity from the heavens and rallied the major families to kill you.”
“Ye Wu Shuang fought the world for your sake.”
“That Zhuge Qing was the elder brother of Zhuge Yun, the Sword Pavilion’s leader.”
Ye Qiu was stunned. If Master Longbrow hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have known this secret.
Master Longbrow added, “Zhuge Yun was a martial arts prodigy. He founded the Sword Pavilion in Shu at just seventeen.”
“And when he escaped from your father, he was only nineteen.”
Hiss!
Ye Qiu drew a sharp breath.
For Zhuge Yun, at just nineteen, to escape from Ye Wu Shuang, that was almost unbelievable.
“You said this concerns the Forbidden City, what’s the connection?” Ye Qiu asked.
Master Longbrow didn’t answer directly but turned to Tang Fei, “Little ingrate, you have access to the files on the world’s top masters at Hades Hall, do you know Zhuge Yun’s background?”
Tang Fei said, “The records state that Zhuge Yun’s origins and background are unknown, with his strength estimated around third on the Dragon List, though his exact power is unclear since he never competed in the Dragon List battles.”
Over twenty years ago, he was already comparable to the third on the Dragon List?
Ye Qiu was shocked. Didn’t that mean Zhuge Yun’s martial talent was on par with Champion Marquis Xiao Jiu?
Yet, Master Longbrow’s next words shocked him even more.
“This poor Taoist thought Hades Hall knew everything, but it seems that’s not the case.”
Master Longbrow mocked, then said, “Do you know why Zhuge Yun didn’t compete in the Dragon List?”
“Because he disdained it.”
“To him, the Dragon List was nothing but rubbish.”
“Over twenty years ago, Zhuge Yun’s true strength surpassed Xiao Jiu’s, I suspect he could rank in the top five on the Divine List.”
What?
Ye Qiu and Tang Fei’s faces showed astonishment.
Was Zhuge Yun that terrifying?
“Old thing, how do you know this?” Ye Qiu asked.
Master Longbrow said, “Once, when this poor Taoist went to Shu to… ahem, travel, I happened to meet Zhuge Yun.”
“I didn’t know him at the time, but seeing his extraordinary talent, a fine seedling for martial arts, I wanted to take him as a disciple.”
“Who knew, that kid was so arrogant, saying if I could defeat him, he’d take me as his master.”
“Then, this poor Taoist fought him.”
Master Longbrow’s face showed fear as he continued, “I didn’t take the kid seriously at first, but I couldn’t even block a single sword strike from him.”
“He made one strike, leaving eighteen holes in my Taoist robe.”
“Zhuge Yun is a top-tier swordsman, his sword technique defined by one word: fast!”
“So fast that even this poor Taoist couldn’t see the trajectory of his strike.”
Master Longbrow continued, “After one strike, Zhuge Yun left.”
“Later, I investigated him in secret and learned his name was Zhuge Yun.”
“I was very curious about this young man, wondering where he learned such profound sword techniques.”
“So, I kept investigating.”
“Five years later, I finally uncovered information about Zhuge Yun’s sect.”
Ye Qiu sensed something and asked, “Could it be, Zhuge Yun is from the Forbidden City?”
Master Longbrow nodded, “Zhuge Yun is the direct disciple of Dragon One from the Forbidden City.”
Ye Qiu was stunned again.
Master Longbrow continued, “Zhuge Yun is a sword-obsessed maniac. To collect sword techniques from all sects, he challenged over a dozen factions.”
“One man, one sword, forcing over a dozen factions to bow and offer up their sword techniques.”
“Though young, Zhuge Yun was ruthless, later killing many respected martial world elders while collecting sword techniques.”
“People saw him as a demon, so the martial world called him the Sword Demon.”
“When Zhuge Yun founded the Sword Pavilion in Shu, he didn’t restrain his disciples, letting them run rampant.”
“The Sword Pavilion’s disciples committed crimes everywhere, bullying others, burning, killing, and looting, doing all sorts of evil.”
“That’s why your father took action, deciding to destroy the Sword Pavilion and kill Zhuge Yun.”
“That day, aside from Zhuge Yun, everyone in the Sword Pavilion was slain.”
“Logically, though Zhuge Yun was formidable, with your father’s skills, he shouldn’t have escaped.”
“I suspect Dragon One may have intervened, saving Zhuge Yun.”
“Of course, that’s just this poor Taoist’s speculation.”
“Little rascal, I’m telling you this to warn you to be wary of Zhuge Yun.”
“Zhuge Yun has vanished without a trace, his whereabouts unknown. When you face the Forbidden City in battle, he might appear.”
“He’s Dragon One’s disciple, and your father killed his brother Zhuge Qing. If Zhuge Yun learns your identity, he won’t spare you.”
Ye Qiu’s heart grew heavy. Dragon One was already a formidable opponent, and now there was Zhuge Yun to contend with.
“If Zhuge Yun was that powerful back then, after over twenty years, what level has his strength reached? It probably isn’t much weaker than Dragon One’s,” Ye Qiu thought.
“Alright, I’ve said all I needed to, little rascal, let’s part ways here,” Master Longbrow clasped his hands and turned to leave.
“Old thing!”
Ye Qiu called out to Master Longbrow, saying, “Since you’ve got nothing to do back there, why not come with me to Jiangzhou for a while?”
“You want to treat my eyes?” Master Longbrow saw through Ye Qiu’s intentions and smiled, “No need, my blindness is due to a backlash, no matter how skilled your medicine, you can’t cure it, unless…”
“Unless what?” Ye Qiu asked urgently.
“Unless you cultivate nine streams of innate true qi, then you might be able to cure my eyes.”
Master Longbrow finished, his face showing worry, “This poor Taoist has a premonition that your battle with the Forbidden City is approaching, little rascal, you must hurry to improve your cultivation.”
“Yes,” Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
“Master, I’ll arrange for someone to send you back!” Tang Fei said.
“Nonsense, my eyes can’t see, if you don’t arrange for someone, do you expect this poor Taoist to walk back?”
Master Longbrow snapped, “Get me a private plane right now, or I’ll beat you, you little ingrate.”
Miracle Doctor Chapter 960
Tang Fei arranged for someone to escort Master Longbrow away, then whispered to Ye Qiu, “The War God already knows about what happened at the Long family’s ancestral tomb.”
“The War God said he’ll have people keep an eye on the Forbidden City, and he’ll notify you immediately if there’s any movement.”
“Ye Qiu, are you heading back to Jiangzhou now, or?”
Ye Qiu said, “I’m going back to Jiangzhou.”
“I’ll arrange for someone to take you back,” Tang Fei said, organising a helicopter.
Three hours later, the helicopter landed on the tarmac of Jiangzhou’s military district.
As Ye Qiu and the mountain guardian uncle stepped out of the cabin, they saw Xiao Zhan waiting.
Xiao Zhan had been there for some time.
Once they were in the car, Xiao Zhan asked, “Boss, where to?”
“Find a place to drop off the mountain guardian uncle first,” Ye Qiu said, turning to the uncle, “By the way, I forgot to ask, what’s your real name?”
The mountain guardian uncle replied, “Li Ergou.”
Ergou?
Ye Qiu glanced back at the uncle, thinking, *This old guy really does look a bit like a chow chow.*
“Xiao Zhan, Ergou will be under your wing from now on.”
“Ergou’s from the northeast, new to Jiangzhou, unfamiliar with the place. Get a few brothers to show him around first.”
“Later, find a spot to drop Ergou off.”
Ye Qiu instructed.
“Yes,” Xiao Zhan replied.
The car entered the city, and after driving for a bit, Xiao Zhan found a spot, stopped the car, and made a phone call.
Soon, two Dragon Gate disciples appeared and took Li Ergou away.
“Boss, shall I take you home?” Xiao Zhan asked.
“Not home yet, let’s go see your sister,” Ye Qiu said apologetically, “I said I’d find time to treat your sister’s eyes, but things kept piling up, sorry for the delay.”
Xiao Zhan was overjoyed, saying, “Boss, don’t apologise. If it weren’t for you, my sister and I might still be on the streets.”
“You saved us.”
“To me, Boss, you’re not just my saviour, you’re my big brother.”
Ye Qiu smiled.
“By the way, Boss, what’s the deal with this Li Ergou, is he reliable?”
Reliable?
Ye Qiu didn’t know.
“Li Ergou is from the Changbai Mountain patrol team, I haven’t known him long. As for whether he’s reliable, I’m not sure, keep an eye on him.”
Ye Qiu added, “Li Ergou knows my identity, so I doubt he’d try anything reckless.”
“But this old guy’s sharp, so watch him closely.”
“His skills are solid, comparable to a Dragon List master. If used well, he’ll be a big asset.”
Xiao Zhan nodded, “Got it.”
The car moved forward.
Ye Qiu leaned back in the seat, resting, and said, “I’ve been so busy, I haven’t paid much attention to your lives. What’s your sister been up to lately?”
Xiao Zhan replied, “My sister can’t sit idle at home, and with no one to talk to, she wanted something to do.”
“A while back, I helped her open a flower shop.”
“The shop’s doing alright, she’s full of energy every day now, like she’s on fire.”
Ye Qiu asked, “With her eyes, isn’t running a flower shop a bit inconvenient?”
Xiao Zhan laughed, “Don’t worry, Boss, I got two family members of Dragon Gate disciples to help her run the shop.”
Ye Qiu nodded, “Good.”
“Boss, rest for a bit, I’ll call you when we get there,” Xiao Zhan said.
“Alright,” Ye Qiu said, closing his eyes to rest.
Half an hour later, as the car stopped, Ye Qiu opened his eyes.
Xiao Zhan said, “Boss, you woke up so fast? I was thinking of letting you rest longer without waking you.”
“I’m not tired,” Ye Qiu said, glancing out the window and immediately spotting a flower shop on the bustling street called Cosy Flower Shop.
Outside the shop, rows of vibrant carnations were neatly arranged.
It looked quite warm and inviting.
“Boss, that’s my sister’s flower shop,” Xiao Zhan said, pointing at the Cosy Flower Shop’s sign before opening the car door.
Ye Qiu followed him out.
As they stepped into the flower shop, the smiles on their faces vanished.
Inside the shop, a young man in his twenties, dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, was harassing Xiao Yiren.
“Beauty, I’ve seen countless people, but someone as stunning as you is rare.”
“You’re like a flower yourself.”
“Your little shop can’t make much money, so how about this, come with me from now on.”
“I’ll make sure you live comfortably, you won’t have to do anything, just lie back and serve me every day, haha…”
The young man grinned lewdly.
Behind him, two bodyguards in black suits chuckled along.
Xiao Yiren’s expression was cold as she said flatly, “If you’re here to buy flowers, I welcome you. If not, please leave.”
The young man laughed, “I’ll take all the flowers here, and I want you too, name your price!”
Xiao Yiren’s face remained cold, “You’re not welcome here, please leave immediately.”
One bodyguard sneered, “Girl, it’s your blessing that our young master fancies you, don’t be ungrateful.”
The other bodyguard added, “Girl, you don’t even know who our young master is, do you?”
“Let me tell you, our young master isn’t ordinary. Those big-name actresses, models, and streamers beg for his attention, but he’s pure and doesn’t care for them.”
“For him to fancy you, that’s your luck from several lifetimes.”
“Follow our young master, and you’ll have endless wealth and glory, no need to do anything, you’ll have everything. Isn’t that better than running this tiny flower shop?”
Xiao Yiren’s expression didn’t change, “I’ll say it again, if you’re here to buy flowers, I welcome you. If not, leave now.”
The young man’s temper flared.
“Bang!”
He kicked over a vase, shouting at Xiao Yiren, “I’m doing you a favour by liking you, your ancestors’ graves must be smoking. Don’t push your luck.”
“Just a blind girl, acting all high and mighty?”
“Piss me off, and I’ll sell you to a club to serve clients…”
Slap!
Before the young man could finish, a slap sent him sprawling to the ground.
“Who hit me?” The young man scrambled up, turning to see Ye Qiu, clutching his face and roaring, “Do you know who I am? You dare hit me, you’re dead!”
The young man’s two bodyguards stepped forward, surrounding Ye Qiu, ready to strike.
Ye Qiu didn’t even glance at them, such small fry didn’t warrant his attention. He ordered Xiao Zhan, “This flower shop’s so lovely, don’t let a few rats ruin it, throw them all out.”
“And teach them a lesson.”
“Break one hand each.”
