Chapter 39

Chu Yue Li's words left Xia Qing Yue in a daze.

The fifty-four Xuan Passes of the Xuan Pulse, she of course knew about them. This was the most basic knowledge that every Xuan practitioner must know. She knew what it meant to have all the Xuan Passes open... It was a theoretical limit that had never been achieved by anyone, a "Heavenly Spirit Xuan Pulse" that was said to belong only to the ancient gods, something far beyond human reach!

Since Xiao Che had used silver needles to adjust her body, she felt that her mental and physical state had become extremely good. The circulation of her Xuan energy and the cultivation of Xuan energy had become incredibly smooth, sometimes so smooth that it made her feel like it wasn't her own body. At this moment, hearing Chu Yue Li's words, her heart was filled with shock...

All fifty-four Xuan Passes open... Heavenly Spirit Xuan Pulse...

How could this be! How could this be!!

But as one of the Seven Immortals of Ice Cloud, how could Chu Yue Li lie? With her overwhelming Xuan power at the Seventh Level of the Heavenly Xuan Realm, how could she possibly misjudge her Xuan Pulse state? And the usually calm and composed Chu Yue Li was now extremely excited, which couldn't possibly be fake.

But how could she...

Could it be... it's...

Xia Qing Yue's mind conjured up the image of Yun Che... She remembered those days when he would use silver needles to adjust her body at three o'clock every morning, and his stated purpose was always "dispelling cold and unblocking meridians." For this, he would always be exhausted, even to the point of nearly injuring his own essence...

Thinking about it now, every time he inserted the silver needles into her body... they were exactly fifty-four in number, perfectly corresponding to the number of Xuan Passes!

Could it really be him?

No... It could only be him! No one else had ever touched her body. It was also because of his "adjustment" that her body had undergone such a significant change.

But how could a son of the Xiao family, a person whose Xuan Pulse was completely ruined, possess such an ability...

Seeing that Xia Qing Yue, though not immediately answering, had a suddenly wandering gaze and a complex expression, Chu Yue Li was absolutely certain that Xia Qing Yue must have encountered some extraordinary fortune in these few short days... a fortune that could be called a miracle. She asked urgently, "Qing Yue, tell me quickly, who or what has made your Xuan Pulse fully open!"

"It's... a person... I just didn't expect that he would actually..."

"A person?" Chu Yue Li's face was filled with deep shock: "What is the name of that senior? Or what does he look like? To have such a heaven-defying ability!!"

The phrase "heaven-defying ability" to describe the ability to fully open someone's Xuan Passes was absolutely not an exaggeration.

"I'm a divine doctor, do you believe me?"

A sentence that she had once dismissed with a sneer now echoed in Xia Qing Yue's mind. But her feelings now were vastly different from then. She also remembered that after Yun Che's third adjustment, he had panted and said to her, "Qing Yue wife, if one day your master discovers the changes in your body, don't tell her it was me... if you don't want to be a widow..."

A person who could fully open a Xuan practitioner's Xuan Passes in a short time. If his ability and name were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation, and countless people would go to great lengths to find him...

"He said he's a divine doctor," Xia Qing Yue said with a complex expression: "But he doesn't want me to tell anyone about him. Please forgive me, Master."

Hearing Xia Qing Yue's words, although Chu Yue Li was disappointed, she did not press further, but instead nodded: "A person with such heaven-defying abilities must be a transcendent sage who is detached from the world and does not involve himself in worldly affairs! Our Cang Feng Empire has the 'Cang Feng Medical Sage' Gu Qiu Hong, who is not only a skilled doctor but can also open three Xuan Passes for Xuan practitioners, making him famous and sought after by countless people, known as the first divine doctor of Cang Feng. But compared to the senior you met, he is not even worthy to carry his shoes! Such a reclusive sage generally does not wish to be known to the world. You have received his great favor, so you should keep his secret."

Xia Qing Yue nodded, her mind filled with clarity.

Those days, he had exhausted himself, almost to the point of desperation, to adjust her body. The so-called "dispelling cold and unblocking meridians" was just a pretext! What he was doing was actually opening all her Xuan Passes... and the "heaven-defying ability" mentioned by her master, he had accomplished with just a few dozen silver needles.

Who is he...

Chu Yue Li's face showed an incredibly delighted smile, and the way she looked at Xia Qing Yue had changed, becoming much more intense than before! She said solemnly, "When we return to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, I will report this to the Palace Master immediately. I believe the Palace Master will be extremely pleased and will take you as a personal disciple. All the resources of the palace will be at your disposal without any restrictions. With your current Xuan Pulse state, as long as you put in the most normal effort, you will surely become the most brilliant genius in the history of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace! In the next Cang Feng ranking battle, you will surely make a stunning debut and shock Cang Feng! Perhaps, because of you, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace will break free from the centuries-long suppression by the Heavenly Sword Manor and regain its status as the first in Cang Feng!"

"…I will do my best, to live up to Master's expectations," Xia Qing Yue nodded slightly, her mind still in chaos.

"Right! Qing Yue, since that senior was willing to bestow such great favor upon you, he must like you very much. Did he leave any message about meeting again?" Chu Yue Li asked hopefully. No matter how wise she was, she would never associate this "senior" with the worthless Yun Che in everyone's eyes.

"…No," Xia Qing Yue shook her head.

"Hmm, I was being a bit greedy," Chu Yue Li smiled, then said wistfully, "But if such a sage were to visit the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, even a slight guidance would be of immense benefit to us."

At this moment, Xia Qing Yue's heart stirred, and after some hesitation, she said, "Master, at that time, he mentioned that he was looking for three things… they are the Purple Pulse Heavenly Crystal, the Seven Xuan Linglong Grass, and a Xuan Core from a Ground Xuan Beast. If we can help him find these three things, perhaps he will appear and show his gratitude to our palace."

Xia Qing Yue was clearly not good at lying, and when she said these words, she dared not look Chu Yue Li in the eye.

"Purple Pulse Heavenly Crystal, Seven Xuan Linglong Grass, Xuan Core from a Ground Xuan Beast…" Chu Yue Li repeated the names of these three things, memorizing them firmly, "Although these three things are extremely hard to find, with the capabilities of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, it is not impossible to find them all. I will report this to the Palace Master, and I believe she will make a decision."

"Qing Yue, let's go now. The Palace Master and your other masters and uncles will be pleasantly surprised by the great news I bring them."

Chu Yue Li grabbed Xia Qing Yue's wrist and took her into the air, rising to nearly a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, turning into two ethereal figures flying northwest.

This was Xia Qing Yue's first time experiencing the feeling of flying in the air, which should have been exciting, but her chaotic mind was completely occupied by other things.

Before long, they had flown out of the range of Liuyun City. Xia Qing Yue looked back, her eyes filled with emotion as she watched Liuyun City grow smaller and smaller in her sight, her heart unable to calm down.

Who are you... In this world, who truly understands you?

You have given me such a great favor, do you want me to never forget you? Because every time I cultivate Xuan energy in the future, I might uncontrollably think of you...

Where did you go after being expelled from the Xiao family? Where are you now?

"Qing Yue wife, are you asleep?"

"Wow! Qing Yue wife, you look even more beautiful today than yesterday? They say that one's wife always looks more beautiful over time, and it turns out it's true."

"Sniff... Qing Yue wife, did you steal jasmine flowers this morning? Otherwise, why do you smell so good? Hmm? Could it be the legendary scent of a young maiden?"

"Qing Yue wife, after this month when you return to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, will we really never see each other again... Will you think of me sometimes in that place?"

...

...

"Qing Yue wife," he always liked to call her that, and would deliberately add this title to almost every sentence. She went from rejecting it to gradually accepting it... and from now on, she knew she might never hear this title again. Thinking of this, a slight pain suddenly arose in her heart, and her eyes became misty.

"Qing Yue? What's wrong? Your heartbeat is so irregular," Chu Yue Li turned to look at her.

Xia Qing Yue shook her head lightly, "I'm fine, it's just... I'm a bit reluctant to leave home..."

Chu Yue Li clearly did not understand the full meaning of "home" in Xia Qing Yue's words, and comforted her, "It's normal for a girl to feel sad when leaving home for the first time. But when your Xuan power reaches the Heavenly Xuan Realm, you can traverse the void like your master, traveling a thousand miles a day. Then, returning home will be easy."

Speaking of Xia Qing Yue's home, Chu Yue Li thought of someone and said casually, "Your brother, I remember his name is... Xia Yuanba. I saw his Xuan Pulse yesterday, and he was born with nine Xuan Passes open, with average talent, but his Xuan Pulse is more than twice as thick as a normal person's. I have never seen such a case before, nor have I ever heard of it. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for his overly robust physique. I plan to go back and research to see if this is a special phenomenon."

"Thank you, Master, for your concern," Xia Qing Yue replied softly. Her gaze turned toward the direction of her home, and she murmured, "After I leave, Yuanba will go to New Moon City to enter the New Moon Xuan Mansion. I hope he will always be safe and not be bullied..."
