Chapter 1223: Western Sect Master

“Tell them this old man is saved.” Yu Suo used her mental remembrance to say to Ye Qingzi.

Yu Suo was the ancestor of flower types. Having some powerful techniques wasn’t out of the ordinary and so Ye Qingzi didn’t find it strange.

Ye Qingzi nodded, retracted her soul remembrance, and noticed everyone around her looking at her. She slowly opened her mouth to speak, “The old man’s illness can be cured.”

Ye Qingzi just finished when the slightly numb middle aged man nodded and subconsciously said, “Thank you for trying, xuan teacher.....”

This sentence was something Xiao Xueang has said countless times. Almost every xuan teacher that had come saying they were an expert was treated with this sentence from Han Xueang.

Out of habit, Xiao Xueang said the same thing politely this time.

Truthfully, if even the lead disciple of Xuan Sect had no cure, there truly was no reason for Xiao Xueang to believe such a young female xuan teacher.

“Sect Master Xiao, she.... She said the old sect master can be healed!” After a few seconds, Master Han reminded Xiao Xueang in a small voice.

"Xiao Xueang paused but then his unfocused eyes suddenly became spirited. He stared closely at Ye Qingzi and asked solemnly, “You’re saying.... My father can be cured?”En, he’s cureable.” Ye Qingzi nodded.

“Completely cured and not just have his life extended?” Xiao Xueang added.

“Yes, completely cured!” Ye Qingzi affirmed.

Ye Qingzi’s words caused master Han, Xiao Xueang, and even the old sect master on the bed to be extremely shocked. Many servant girls nearby were exchanging surprised glances too as they started discussing in small voices.

“Little girl, I..... I’m not afflicted by just any soul curse.....” Old sect master propped himself up slightly and said very weakly to Ye Qingzi.

“En, my father’s wounds are very peculiar. I urge this xuan teacher to reconsider the possibility before giving a conclusion in case you give us false hope.” Xiao Xueang was relatively calm at this news.

“Then I beg for everyone to leave for a second. I will heal the elder now. Whether I succeed or not will be something everyone will see for themselves.” Ye Qingzi said.

Xuan teachers’ healing can’t be disturbed, this was a rule that everyone knew.

Master Han, Xiao Xueang and Lu Yuqin were still all doubtful, but since she said it could be cured, they still had some hope.

One had to know that in the past year, countless xuan teachers have come forth including the lead disciple of xuan sect, yet none have ever said they could completely cure the old man!

Master Han and Xiao Xueang immediately left the Soul Nurturing Palace, and told the servants to back off too.

Yu Suo saw that everyone had already left. Glancing over at the bony old man on the bed, she simply waved her hand and threw over some flower pollen to put the weak old sect master to sleep.

The old sect master wanted to say something more but fell asleep.

“What now?” ye QIngzi asked.

Ye Qingzi couldn't do anything about old sect master’s soul.

“I’ll lighten the curse a little firstm so the old man won’t die on us.” As she spoke, Yu Suo was already at the side of the bed.

Yu Suo stood there and started an incantation.

The incantation was incredibly long. Ye Qingzi didn’t even know how long she stood there for before Yu Suo let out a soft utterance that prompted a very special sacred blue flower to grow out form Yu Suo’s palm.

Yu Suo slowly pushed her two hands forth, sending the special sacred lily slowly forward onto the old man’s heart. It gradually melted into old sect master’s body.

“Good, now we just have to sit here for an hour and tell them to come back.” Yu Suo said.

“You cured him this easily?” Ye Qingzi was somewhat doubtful.

Yu Suo shook her head, “I just weakened it a little. Completely curing it will take a few more casts.”

When she got here, Yu Suo smiled slyly, “The old sect master is an important character in divine sect. There’s no need to finish curing him so quickly. Even if we directly cured him, with your ability to cure his soul, it would take a year or two for him to completely recover. In this time, they’ll treat you as important as the old sect master himself. As a Xuan teacher, to become more powerful faster, you need large amounts of xuan items to support you. In this time of healing the old sect master, you can take whatever xuan items you need to improve, and they’ll be more than willing to provide.”

Ye Qingzi laughed bitterly. She originally thought Yu Suo’s strength wasn’t enough to fully cure it, yet she never thought Yu Suo was simply plotting ahead again. This woman truly couldn’t be judged with normal logic.

Ye Qingzi wasn’t an inflexible person either. She wasn’t tied to Divine Set in any way and so there indeed wasn’t a reason for her to instantly cure the old sect master.

Of course, curing the old man completely wasn’t an easy thing.

Yu Suo indeed could weaken the curse, but the old man’s soul was still weak. This needed Ye Qingzi to slowly heal him. Ye Qingzi’s soul remembrance wasn’t high, so to completely recover a top tier spirit dominator rank old man indeed needed a year or two.

Ye Qingzi was ultimately more good-hearted. Seeing the old man bony and weak, she cast an incantation and started healing the old man’s tattered soul.....

......

Outside the palace, having waited an hour, Master Han and Xiao Xuehan slowly started getting worried.

“Yuqin, where does the young female xuan teacher come from?” Master Han couldn’t help but task.

“Double Monument Land.” Lu Yuqin replied truthfully.

“Double Monument Land, you mean New Moon ground?” The steel faced middle aged man said.

Lu Yuqin nodded.

“There? En..... I remember something recently happening about them.” Master Han said.

“Independence, New Moon Ground, becoming our Zhenming Continent’s only independent territory.” Xiao Xueang said.

“Judge Xiao, you often have a lot to worry about, yet you still managed to notice such a small thing?” Xu Daofeng laughed.

Xiao Xueang nodded.

“This young woman, how sure do you think your friend is?” At this point, Xiao Xueang asked.

This directly affected his father’s life. No matter how unflustered Xiao Xueang was, after waiting for an hour, he couldn’t help but be slightly anxious.

“Qingzi would never say things she couldn’t achieve, and would often stay on the conservative side. If she says she has a chance of curing it, it usually means a success rate of above 70%. Since she just said she can cure it, that usually means she’s 100% sure. Your father will be fine.” Knowing her for this long, Mu Qingyi had a good grasp on Ye Qingzi’s personality.

“100%?” Master Han looked at Mu Qingyi. From his expression, one could tell he wasn’t at all convinced by what Mu Qingyi said. After all, Ye Qingzi truly looked too young. When even ancient family xuan experts had no cure, could a female xuan teacher from New Moon Ground really do it?

Xiao Xueang was less questioning. He knew that xuan art was always a subtle thing. Many times, strange conditions could easily stump most old xuan teachers, yet younger and more daring xuan teachers could cure them. Xiao Xueang thought that Ye QIngzi was one of the latter kind.

“Everyone, why are you all waiting outside the gate?” A man wearing a large golden robe walked over.

The man looked very young but his hair was white already. With a dazzling golden robe and silver hair reaching the shoulders, he emanated the dignity of a person of high rank!

“And who is this?” Mu Qingyi asked curiously to Xu Daofeng.

Xu Daofeng saluted first and said with mental voice to Ye Qingzi, “He’s the Western Sect Sect Master.”

“Western Sect?” Mu Qingyi didn’t understand the positions in divine sect at all.

“Us Zhengming Divine Sect’s highest position is the Great Sect Master. Under him are four sub sect masters that govern the four parts of Zhengming Continent. The old man laying in the bed is the Eastern Sect Master. The silver haired one is the Western Sect Master. Territory He and the nearby territory are all under his control, and als.... He’s my teacher’s older brother.” Xu Daofeng said with mental voice.

“How powerful are sub sect masters?” Mu Qingyi continued.

“This.... My teacher is a master official. Above that is a judge official, and then above that is the sub sect master. You can make the judgment yourself. If you truly compared them, we may be at the tip of the mountain, but he’s already put a foot into heaven.....” Xu Daofeng said with utmost respect.

......

Sect Master Han explained the situation to Sect Master Lu, which caused him to show some astonishment.

However, one could see that Sect Master Lu didn’t show much joy or surprise. It wasn’t clear whether he was just apathetic over the old sect master’s life or whether he had no faith in Ye Qingzi.

“Little sister, how have you been?” Sect Master Lu smiled as his gaze fell on Lu Yuqin.

“Good.” Lu Yuqin kept her cold face. In fact, Mu Qingyi noticed that Lu Yuqin didn’t seem to want to talk to Sect Master Lu.

Sect Master Lu was going to continue when a sound inside told them they could enter now.

Xiao Xueang and Lu Yuqin were the most hurried, entering the Soul Nurturing Palace first.

When they walked in, the two immediately noticed the old man already asleep on the bed with very even breathing, no longer looking like he was nearing the end of his life.

Most importantly, the old man clearly recovered somewhat. His face went from paper white to somewhat flushed now. This was the first improvement Xiao Xueang had seen in the past year!

In the past year, old sect master was constantly tortured by this sickness, getting thinner and paler by the day. This was something Xiao Xueang had seen. This aging and sickness was also torture for Xiao Xueang.

Now that the old man finally recovered slightly, even if it were just a little, Xiao Xueang was too excited for words!

The old man’s spiritual well being was something easily seen with their soul remembrances. Feeling that the old man’s soul was indeed recovered, she was surprised but at the same time glanced at Ye Qingzi in shock!

In reality, even Lu Yuqin didn’t have much faith in Ye Qingzi, so she never expected her to actually be able to help old sect master recover. After all, she also heard the xuan sect lead disciple’s words of the curse being incurable!
