Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 126 The Enchanting Healing

The next morning

Xiao Yan glanced around the room with lingering reluctance.

"It's getting late, let's set off!" The old apothecary floated to the side, stroking his beard as he softly said, "There's only a little over a year left until the three-year agreement. If you want to defeat that little girl from the Nalan family and wash away your shame, you need to hurry up and raise your cultivation to the Dou Shi level!"

"With the cultivation level of a Battle Master as a foundation, your chances of successfully devouring the strange fire using the Burning Technique will be much greater. That way, you'll have a better chance of winning!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan let out a soft breath, his eyes regaining their resolve, and said to Yao Lao beside him, "Teacher, I will try my best!"

"Sigh! If it weren't for the tight schedule and the fact that you haven't been tempered by blood and fire, Canaan Academy would actually be quite suitable for you!" Recalling the news that the boy had mentioned, the old apothecary shook his head and sighed.

Yesterday, Xiao Bai told him that Canaan Academy has a Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, which contains a strange flame, the Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth, which excited him greatly.

Even if Xiao Yan can't obtain the Fallen Heart Flame for the time being, if he could use it to cultivate, it would surely greatly increase his cultivation speed. After all, it is a strange flame known as a cheat code for cultivation.

However, that tower is located in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy. With Xiao Yan's current cultivation level, he cannot enter the inner courtyard for the time being. If he can only stay in the outer courtyard, then it would be better to take Xiao Yan to train during this year or so, as he will grow faster.

"Teacher, is the Fallen Heart Flame really as miraculous as Brother Bai said?" Xiao Yan asked with some curiosity.

"It's truly amazing. You'll understand when you go to Canaan Academy!" Looking at his disciple, Yao Lao couldn't help but marvel at his good fortune. "You really should thank that kid Xiao Bai. He got one of the strange flames needed for cultivating the Burning Technique, and then he gave me news of another!"

"Hehe." A warm glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he grinned mischievously and said arrogantly, "Don't worry! At most, I'll go easy on him next time!"

"Heh heh!" The old doctor glanced at his stubborn disciple with annoyance, knowing that he had always lived in the shadow of that brat Xiao Bai. Beating him up was just an excuse; he really wanted to catch up with him.

"Let's go. It won't be easy to beat that kid up. Keep up the good work and cultivate!" After saying that, he turned into a stream of air and entered the ring. He hoped that this disciple could one day stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Bai, so he didn't say anything to discourage him.

"Just wait! That day will come!" After muttering something with a hint of anticipation, Xiao Yan walked out of the room, closed the door, and went to Xiao Bai's residence.

"Bang bang bang!"

The courtyard gate opened, and a graceful woman in a white dress appeared before them.

"You're here to see Xiao Bai, right?" Little Fairy Doctor asked with a smile as she looked at Xiao Yan outside the door.

"Hehe. Sister-in-law Little Fairy Doctor, I've come to say goodbye to Brother Bai!" Xiao Yan nodded and smiled, admiring Xiao Bai to death. He was so impressed that his cousin Xun'er had personally gone to bring him back. When he found out, his jaw dropped for a long time!

"He went out early this morning and asked me to tell you to cultivate diligently. He will come when the three-year period is up!" Little Fairy Doctor had heard about Xiao Yan's affairs and knew a little about him.

Xiao Bai went out because of her. She had recently run out of several medicinal herbs, which happened to be available in the valley, so she asked Xiao Bai to collect all the mature herbs in the valley.

It's uncertain how long it will take for her to return this time. Leaving her there would be a waste, since most medicinal herbs will regrow as long as they are not broken. Not only can she use those herbs, but Xiao Bai also sometimes uses them for alchemy.

In the small valley of the Warcraft Mountains

Xiao Bai was diligently gathering medicinal herbs, tears silently streaming down his face.

That year, in the cave, he even used a trick to get Little Fairy Doctor to help him gather herbs.

Now, with just a word from Little Fairy Doctor, he'll fly hundreds of miles to help her gather herbs. What a karmic cycle!

"Alas, Ah Wei is dead!"

Recalling the past, Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh with a touch of melancholy. Now, with two young girls watching him, he felt that if he wasn't careful, they would shoot him with eyes as sharp as swords.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Xiao Bai suddenly sensed two intense energy fluctuations coming from the depths of the Monster Mountain Range. Purple wings appeared, and he took off into the air, looking in that direction.

On the distant horizon, two streams of energy shot straight into the sky, one blue and one red, scattering the white clouds in the clear sky.

"That's a Dou Huang! And that giant lion too!"

Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes, carefully sensing the two auras. One was fire-attribute, belonging to the lion, which he had sensed when he was in seclusion in this valley. The other was wind-attribute!

"Could it be that woman?"

She stroked her chin and muttered to herself, a little puzzled. According to the original timeline, she should have come to find that big lion a month later!

As they pondered, the battle over there seemed to have reached a fever pitch. The two sides appeared to be locked in a fierce struggle, with blue and red hues intertwining in the distant sky, filling half the sky. Between the collisions, a sound like muffled thunder could be faintly heard.

"Search! Find that human woman!" A furious, ferocious roar echoed across the distant sky.

After hearing this, Xiao Bai shook his head. It seems that even at a different time, it was still sealed away!

To be honest, this woman was really willing to sacrifice herself for her disciple; she almost lost her life in this Monster Mountain Range.

Just then, a small, swaying black dot appeared on the horizon, as if it were drunk, constantly swinging from side to side. As it got closer, the small black dot turned into a blue figure, struggled a few times, and then fell from the sky.

"Bang!"

A splash of water erupted beneath a somewhat familiar waterfall.

"Tsk tsk. You're really lucky!" Xiao Bai sighed playfully and flew towards the waterfall. If she had fled deeper into the Monster Mountain Range, he might not have gone in.

Arriving at the foot of the waterfall, they saw a beautiful woman in white floating in the river below. Her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and there was a bloodstain on her chest, indicating that she was seriously injured.

He jumped down and floated on the water, put one hand under his knee and the other under his shoulder, picked him up, and looked around. He realized that this was where he used to practice his Purple Cloud Wings. He headed straight for the cave where he used to live.

He placed the woman in his arms on the boulder where he had once lain, and quietly observed the Sect Master Yun. To be fair, although she was somewhat disheveled, her brows were exquisitely beautiful, her skin was fair and her bones were delicate, and coupled with her elegant and noble temperament, she was indeed a peerless beauty.

He glanced at the claw mark on her chest, which was covered by blood. It must have been quite painful, as her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of pain lingered on her pale face.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow, sensing her slightly quickened heartbeat, and stared at her strangely for a moment before saying:

"Now that you're awake, take care of your injuries yourself!"

If it weren't for his keen senses detecting the change in her heartbeat, he wouldn't have realized she was awake; she was just pretending to be unconscious, seemingly to see if he had any further plans.

Her tightly closed eyes snapped open, and she calmly looked at the white-haired man before her, saying, "Did you save me?"

"Not bad!" Xiao Bai glanced at her, walked to the side, picked up the leftover wood from last time, and prepared to start a fire.

Seeing that he made no further move, the woman slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She was severely injured and extremely weak, so she was extra vigilant.

She struggled slightly to sit up, but felt numb all over. After closing her eyes and sensing for a moment, she gritted her teeth and whispered:

"Damn it, it actually fell for its sealing technique!"

After struggling a few more times to no avail, the woman stopped her futile efforts, turned her head, and looked at the man in black robes with her beautiful eyes. She carefully examined him for a moment, thinking that he had not made any other improper moves, and softly asked, "Could you help me apply some medicine?"

Xiao Bai glanced at her, his hands still busy, piling up wood to form a fire. He reached under and touched it, and a flame immediately rose up.

Seeing that he did not answer, the woman's eyes showed disappointment. She lay quietly on the ground, closed her eyes, and stopped speaking. Enduring the pain, she prepared to refine the seal within her body.

"Can you sit up?"

A voice rang in her ears, and the woman opened her eyes to find a handsome face before her. She was a little surprised, as she had thought the man was unwilling!

"No!" She shook her head gently. She had just tried, but her whole body was numb and she couldn't get up.

Xiao Bai nodded, then reached out and gently tore open a section of the tattered white robe on his chest. Below, he saw a light blue metal inner armor, covered with a flowing light like ripples on water. On it were five deep claw marks, from which streaks of blood seeped.

He thought to himself, "Thank goodness this inner armor is so effective, otherwise this woman would probably have her heart ripped out today!"

"The wound is under the inner armor. If you want to apply medicine to stop the bleeding, you'll have to remove the inner armor!" Xiao Bai said calmly to the woman whose cheeks were slightly flushed.

Upon hearing this, the woman trembled slightly. After taking a deep breath, she slowly closed her beautiful eyes and said calmly, "Untie me! Thank you!"

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, indicating that she was not as calm as she appeared.

Supporting her shoulders, Xiao Bai helped her sit up. He came behind her and looked at the alluring curves of her back. Xiao Bai took a deep breath, reached out and pinched the woman's collar, slowly pulling off her top. He could feel the woman's body suddenly tense up as the clothes slipped down.

"Relax! I'm a doctor now, and doctors don't distinguish between genders!" Xiao Bai's mouth was a little dry. He seemed to be saying this to her, but he was actually saying it to himself.

The woman rolled her eyes. She was of noble status; what doctor would dare to say such a thing to her! However, upon hearing the slightly trembling voice of the man behind her, she relaxed.

Pulling the clothes down to the woman's snow-white slender waist, Xiao Bai scratched the three thousand strands of black hair behind her and unfastened the metal clasps on the inner armor one by one. When he unfastened the last one, Xiao Bai was very careful, because he was afraid that the inner armor would suddenly break open and damage the wound in front of him due to the tightness of the clasp.

Even though he was being careful enough, she still gasped when he removed the inner armor.

"It would be a shame not to cup this back!" Looking at the flawless back with its soft, fair skin tinged with a hint of pink, Xiao Bai had a sudden thought.

The moment this thought arose, it dispelled most of the romantic feelings in his heart. He took out an outer robe from his storage ring, draped it over her shoulders, and then tidied her cloud-like hair before helping her lie down.

The woman did not struggle, but an alluring blush had already risen on her pretty face, and her eyes, when she looked at Xiao Bai, no longer held the same wariness as before.

After she lay down, Xiao Bai gently pulled open the closed robe, revealing a mesmerizing ravine and half a snow-white peak.

Xiao Bai remained calm, silently reciting the "Heart-Cleansing Mantra." He took out a clean gauze from his storage ring and gently wiped away the blood near the wound, asking indifferently:

"Treat the wound my way, or with medication?"

The woman looked at him with a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes, not understanding his meaning. Seeing this, Xiao Bai explained:

"With my method, your wound will scab over immediately without leaving a scar, though it will be a little uncomfortable. The medication will take a few days, and as for the scar, it may take some time to fade. The choice is yours!"

"Use yours! Thank you!" After a moment's hesitation, the woman said. She had seen everything he did and had begun to trust him. He probably wasn't a lecherous rogue, and besides, he meant well. It wouldn't hurt to refuse him.

"Close your eyes!" Xiao Bai nodded.

Seeing that she was still staring at him with her beautiful, slightly blue eyes wide open, Xiao Bai shrugged and said, "Let her look if she wants to!"

Seeing Xiao Bai extend two fingers in a sword-like gesture, with a green glow floating on his skin and tracing the lines of the wound, a cool, tingling sensation kept coming.

"uh-huh.."

She couldn't help but let out an alluring moan, which made her blush. The feeling was so strange, itchy, numb, and comfortable all at once.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Bai almost dropped his finger and touched the wrong spot.

Damn it, a man without meat to eat is no good!

I almost turned into a wolf just now. Thinking about it, Xiao Bai has several lovers, but none of them are safe to touch. Xun'er can't be touched before she becomes a Saint, Xian'er can't be touched before she is controlled by the poison body, and Cai Lin is even more of a threat. That arrogant woman, if you dare to touch her before you are sure of her feelings, you'll probably be beaten to death!

It's almost a tragedy to think about!

I wanted to find something to talk about, but seeing the woman's expression, as if she wanted to disappear into a crack, I couldn't bring myself to say anything, lest she get angry and embarrassed.

After painstakingly treating all the wounds and quickly closing her open clothes, Xiao Bai finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Alright, the external wounds are treated. Now it's just the internal injuries and the seal inside you. We'll talk about that later. You rest well first. I'm going out for a bit!"

Xiao Bai felt he couldn't stay in the cave any longer; he needed to go out for some fresh air.

"Thank you!" The woman looked at his face, which was slightly flushed from holding back her shyness, and felt less embarrassed. She lay quietly on the ground and smiled at him. That smile was absolutely stunning!

Xiao Bai's heart pounded a few times. He glared at her fiercely and said, "Laugh? What are you laughing at? Be careful, I might do it to you right here!" He then turned and walked out of the cave.
