Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 353 By the esteemed elders of our sect, our Yunlan Sect has made a name for itself!
The bamboo house was quiet and still. The two embraced each other, silently savoring this rare moment of tenderness. Only the occasional birdsong and the rustling of the bamboo leaves in the breeze could be heard from outside the window.

Squeak!

The door to the bamboo house was gently pushed open, and Qinglin peeked in with her small head, saying timidly, "Young Master."

Yun Yun quickly got up from the bamboo bed, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, and a blush still lingered on her cheeks.

Xiao Bai smiled and waved to Qing Lin: "Come in, Qing Lin."

Qinglin then cautiously entered, her gaze shifting between the two before she quickly lowered her head and whispered:

"It was that senior medicine master who sent Qinglin to ask you to come over, young master."

Xiao Bai nodded, having roughly guessed why the old doctor wanted to see him. He took Yun Yun's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look."

The three of them walked out of the bamboo house and into the courtyard.

Granny Hua and Old Man Yao were sitting at the stone table, and the atmosphere seemed to have eased considerably.

Although Granny Hua's expression remained indifferent, the anger in her eyes had subsided considerably.

"Xiao Bai, you're quite skilled at matters of the soul, come and take a look at this old guy."

Upon seeing Xiao Bai and the others arrive, a hint of joy flashed in Yao Lao's eyes. He quickly got up and pulled Xiao Bai to Granny Hua's side.

He remembered that when Queen Medusa's soul had problems last time, it was Xiao Bai who finally resolved them, so he wanted to ask him to take a look at Granny Hua's problems.

"soul?"

Xiao Bai was taken aback. He thought that the old doctor had asked him to refine pills to treat Granny Hua's injuries, but he didn't expect that there was also a soul issue involved.

"Yes, back then, the Flower Sect and the Heavenly Nether Sect had a great battle. The Heavenly Nether Sect Master, Old Demon Tianming, was a high-level half-saint. It took Hua Yu and two of the sect's elders to barely hold him off."

"His cultivation method is insidious and ruthless. Hua Yu was unfortunately ambushed by him. Since then, not only was her body injured by his insidious fighting spirit, but her soul was also tainted by it. Over the years, they have been continuously merging and are no longer distinguishable from each other."

The old doctor frowned deeply, clearly finding the problem extremely difficult.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai nodded and looked at Granny Hua.

Hua Yu glanced at him and Yun Yun beside him, closed her eyes slightly, and said in a calm voice:

"Go ahead and do as you please. What do you think an old woman like me, who's about to die, would be afraid of harming me?"

Although she hadn't managed sect affairs much in recent years, she had still heard a little about Xiao Bai's reputation. However, since even that old fellow Yao Chen couldn't solve the problem, she had even less hope for this young man.

Xiao Bai didn't say much. He released Yun Yun's hand, and the vertical line between his eyebrows glowed faintly. A powerful spiritual force surged out, rippling in circles of transparent waves in the void.

"Hmm? Peak Spirit Realm!!"

Hua Yu suddenly opened her eyes, feeling this vast soul power, and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

His gaze suddenly turned to the old man opposite him, whose eyes were slightly tense. A look of understanding appeared in his eyes. No wonder he admired this young man so much.

At such a young age, his soul power is in no way weaker than those old guys at the peak of Dou Zun, but is even stronger!
"Calm down, focus your mind, and do not resist!"

Xiao Bai let out a low shout, raised his sword finger, and pointed it directly at Hua Yu's brow.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yu hurriedly closed her eyes and did as instructed. For no apparent reason, she had gained more confidence in Xiao Bai.

This young man might actually be able to solve her problem.

The courtyard fell silent instantly, and several pairs of eyes watched the two of them with slight tension.

After a while, Xiao Bai slowly withdrew his finger, and the vertical lines between his eyebrows gradually faded.

"how?"

The old apothecary asked anxiously. He felt guilty towards Hua Yu. If he didn't know her situation, it would be fine, but now that he did, he couldn't bear to watch her perish like this.

Xiao Bai did not answer immediately. He sat on the stone bench, his eyes flashing with thoughts. After about half a cup of tea's time, he seemed to have made a decision and nodded slightly.

“Two ways!”

"two?"

The old doctor's eyes bulged, and he almost ripped out his beard. He was worried that this kid actually had two solutions to this tricky problem.
Hua Yu's previously lifeless eyes suddenly lit up. Although she had been prepared to die all these years, no one wants to die if they can live.

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes were gentle as water, and Qing Lin clenched her fists tightly. It is said that a serious man is very handsome, and at this moment they felt that Xiao Bai was radiating a charming aura.

"The first option is for me to remove the toxins from Sect Master Hua's soul, but her soul will suffer great damage. She can be reborn by possessing another's body!"

Xiao Bai didn't keep them in suspense and revealed the method directly.

"Rebirth through body transplantation?"

The old doctor frowned slightly, feeling that the word sounded familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

As for the others, they looked completely bewildered.

"Elder Yao should have heard of the Profound Pill Ancestor of the Pill Tower, right?" Xiao Bai reminded him gently.

"I see, that's why I thought it looked familiar." A hint of realization flashed in the old doctor's eyes, then he looked at Xiao Bai with surprise and asked:
"You actually know this kind of secret technique? When did you meet that old guy? I heard that this body-borrowing rebirth technique was something he came up with in order to comprehend the mysteries of reincarnation."

"I can't!"

Xiao Bai shrugged. He was quite interested in the Xuan Dan, but now was not the time.

"!" Everyone exclaimed.

If you don't understand, why are you speaking so confidently?

"Heh. So this is some kind of 'illusory method,' the kind you can see but can't touch?" Old Yao sneered, speaking with annoyance.

"Don't worry, there's a second option, and this method is highly feasible."

Xiao Bai chuckled lightly, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the crowd, ignoring their disapproving looks, and continued:
"The second method is to cleanse the toxins. Since the essence of the soul has been lost, replenish the original soul energy and then perform a conventional resurrection to completely resolve the issues of the soul and body!"

Upon hearing this, the old apothecary immediately realized that this was the reliable method. As for the first one, Xiao Bai himself did not know the secret technique; it was all just his speculation and had no reference value whatsoever.

The difficulty with Hua Yu lies in how to cleanse the toxins that have merged with his soul. Since he is confident, this can be skipped. The remaining task is to replenish his original soul energy.

"In this world, there are only two rare items that can repair one's original soul energy: the Soul Infant Fruit and the Spirit Dragon Heavenly Mushroom. Their rarity surpasses even that of the Strange Flame. I have only seen them in ancient books; they are not easy to find!"

The old doctor shook his head, looking at Hua Yu whose eyes were gradually losing their light, and sighed softly in his heart.

"Yes, they're very hard to find!"

Taking the tea from Qinglin, Xiao Bai leisurely sipped it and nodded in agreement with an air of nonchalance.

Hua Yu saved Yun Yun and resolved her inseparable soul poison, which was already considered repaying a favor. As for the Soul Infant Fruit...
Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Yun'er, whose eyes were also filled with worry, and felt ashamed in his heart.

However, she could be kind, even pleased with her actions, but he couldn't. Just as everyone remained silent, the old apothecary keenly sensed something amiss with Xiao Bai. His eyes flickered, and he said thoughtfully:

"Xiao Bai, you're full of clever ideas. Think of a way. If this works, the Hua family is so powerful and wealthy, how could they possibly owe you anything?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Hua, having served as the sect leader for so many years, could easily discern the subtle hint in Old Man Yao's words.

Although she still harbored resentment towards him for leaving without saying goodbye back then, her gaze towards him softened subtly without her realizing it.

"Young friend Xiao, this is a matter of life and death, so I won't beat around the bush. If you can solve this old woman's problem, just ask for anything you need. As long as the Flower Sect has it, it's no problem!"

Granny Hua had long since become indifferent to worldly possessions. Now that she saw a glimmer of hope for survival, she didn't care about material things at all.

As long as people are alive, nothing else matters.

"Then I, Xiao, will shamelessly ask."

Xiao Bai put down his teacup, smiled faintly. This was the moment he had been waiting for; how could he let this opportunity slip by? He spoke directly:

"I've heard that the Flower Sect has a magical secret technique called 'Transferring Flowers and Jade,' which can transfer one's cultivation to others regardless of attributes, and with almost no repercussions?"

From the records in some collections of Ice River Valley and Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Xiao Bai discovered that this secret technique was very interesting, and its effect was similar to his Wedding Dress Divine Skill.

Hua Yu paused for a moment, then nodded and said:

"The Flower Sect does indeed possess this secret technique, and its effects are quite similar to what you described. However, after using this secret technique to transfer power, the recipient will be completely exhausted, and this requires the recipient's consent."

"Could it be that young friend Xiao is interested in this secret technique?"

“!!” Xiao Bai.

Only a genius would be interested!
"I'd like to know if your sect has any precedents where receiving the transmission of power has any impact on the future cultivation of the recipient?"

Upon hearing this and seeing how cautious Xiao Bai was, Hua Yu finally understood what was going on.

This kid isn't talking about secret techniques at all; he's clearly eyeing her cultivation level.

His gaze was unfathomable, and he slowly nodded, saying, "As long as the recipient refines it slowly and doesn't greedily seek quick results, it won't have any impact on the future!"

Xiao Bai, being extremely perceptive, saw Hua Yu's expression and knew that she already knew his purpose, so he nodded and said:
"Alright, I, Xiao, agree to Sect Leader Hua's request."

"!" Old Medicine Master.

Sure enough, this kid is still the same type who won't act until he sees the benefit. For a moment, I vaguely remembered the first time I met him and made that deal; he was only fifteen years old then!

"Xiao Bai, I must remind you, if you accept Hua Yu's cultivation, you must switch to Hua Sect's techniques. Don't lose the big picture for a small gain."

Over the years, he had come to know the wonder of Xiao Bai's cultivation technique, which was no less than the Burning Technique that could devour strange flames. He didn't want this kid to lose the most important thing in order to take a shortcut.

"Alright, Yun'er, from now on you will practice the Flower Sect's techniques. The Cloud Mist Sect's techniques have a rather limited upper limit."

Xiao Bai took Yun Yun's soft hand in his and shook it at Hua Yu and Yao Lao, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

“! Hua Yu.”

"!" Old Medicine Master.

So it turns out this guy's digging into the matter was all for his woman.

Yun Yun's eyes were blank, her red lips slightly parted, revealing her white teeth. She was stunned for a moment, standing there dumbfounded.

She already knew Granny Hua's cultivation level: peak of the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun.

If such a powerful person were to pass on their life's cultivation to her, wouldn't that mean she would also become a peak ninth-level Dou Zun in the future?
Even Yun Potian, the founder of the Yunlan Sect, didn't seem to have reached this level.

With all our esteemed predecessors above us, our Yunlan Sect has truly made something of itself!
wrong!

Yun Yun quickly shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts, and looked at Xiao Bai, saying urgently:

"Ah Niu, my grandmother saved me, I can't."

She wanted to say that he took advantage of her vulnerability, but when she remembered that Xiao Bai had fought for her, she stopped talking. Her pink lips trembled slightly, and she was somewhat lost and helpless. For a moment, she didn't know what to do or what to say.

"Alright, Yun girl, you don't need to worry. If this kid hadn't suddenly come looking for me, I would have liked to observe you for a while. If I was satisfied, I might have taken you under my wing, and this cultivation would still be yours!"

Hua Yu looked at Yun Yun, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes.

When people are at the final moment of life and death, they are prone to believe in fate. At the last moment of her life, Yun Yun descended from the sky. At that moment, a thought arose in her mind: could this be a disciple sent to her by heaven?

Over the past few days, she has witnessed her kind and gentle nature.

In comparison, she was very dissatisfied with the actions of her disciple outside in recent years. If she hadn't felt that her days were numbered and she didn't have a good candidate for the time being, she would never have made her the acting sect leader.

Hua Yu's words startled Yun Yun. She hadn't expected that this senior, whom she had never met, already had expectations of her.

She instinctively gripped Xiao Bai's hand, her eyes welling up with tears.

Xiao Bai gently squeezed her palm, then turned to Hua Yu and smiled, "It seems Sect Leader Hua has accepted my conditions!"

"Hmph, do I have a choice?"

Hua Yu gave the shrewd young man a cold shoulder, but in the blink of an eye, a meaningful smile appeared on her aged face:

"However, don't be too happy yet, there are still conditions here."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the misty mountains outside the courtyard, a playful smile playing on her lips.
“Since Yun has accepted my cultivation, she must shoulder the responsibility. The position of sect leader of the Flower Sect must belong to her in the future.”

"Mother-in-law, I can't do it. I am now the sect leader of Yunlan Sect. How can I also hold the position of sect leader?" Yun Yun hurriedly waved her hand and refused.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be a sect leader. That's even better. With experience in managing a sect, you'll get up to speed even faster!"

Hua Yu didn't even bother to ask what kind of sect Yunlan Sect was. A sect whose leader was only a low-level Dou Zong could be a major sect, how could it be compared to the Hua Sect, one of the "Two Sects"?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai did not immediately refuse. His eyes flickered as he pondered the purpose behind Hua Yu's actions.

He didn't believe in any concept of character; only his own silly Yun'er was moved to tears.

Perhaps Yun Yun has no worries, just like in the original novel, which is somewhat plausible.

But now that the Yunlan Sect is still alive, and Hua Yu knows about Yun Yun's relationship with him, he still wants her to inherit the position of sect leader, which is quite intriguing.

He couldn't believe that Hua Yu, as the sect leader of the Flower Sect, would be so hasty in choosing a successor.

After pondering for a while, a flash of inspiration struck Xiao Bai. He remembered what Yao Lao had said about Hua Yu's situation, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

Hua Yu's true target wasn't Yun Yun, but Xiao Bai, which could very well involve Hua Sect's greatest enemy.

"The Heavenly Nether Sect, huh? What a cunning scheme!"
