Chapter 465 Part 4: Invincible in the Human World (4)
After a while.
Inside Peach Blossom Villa.
"To be honest, I am quite knowledgeable in medical skills. I even saved the Qiao brothers back then, but…"
Wang Songhe cleared his throat, standing in front of Qiao Mu’s bed with a worried expression on his face.
His face was slightly pale, looking unwell and a bit disoriented.
Wang Songhe had just reached the Golden Core Stage in his immortal cultivation, and he was cultivated as a Medicine Man, so his foundation was unstable.
In the great battle where Immortal Gate did not join forces, it was very difficult for him to protect himself at the unstable Golden Core Stage level.
"But what I know is mortal medicine, I cannot cure this illness…"
They had witnessed Qiao Mu’s incredible self-healing ability, but now even that ability no longer worked. They naturally felt powerless.
"I am quite skilled in medicine."
A young man approached from behind, it was Wushu Shushan who had visited the manor just before the big battle. He offered his help generously.
"You also understand medicine?" Wang Songhe was surprised by the young man.
"Of course," Wushu Shushan replied.
"When I was studying at the Wuji Association’s library, I not only read martial arts manuals but also a variety of other books."
"Military strategies, medical texts, classical literature, history, the Art of Lovemaking, I read them all and understood them all."
Wushu Shushan continued:
"Senior Qiao Shuangtu is the top martial artist, his body has already transformed, his energy is powerful, and his life force is incredibly strong."
"However, this once strong body now shows clear signs of energy depletion and dwindling life force."
"At this point, no medical skills can save him, it’s incurable." Wushu Shushan confidently stated.
Wang Songhe was surprised.
"If you can’t cure him, why did you come up here to say anything?"
Wushu Shushan confidently replied:
"If I don’t tell you, how would you know that I have read all the classics and am well-versed in history, military strategy, and medicine?"
Wang Songhe was at a loss for words for a while, his mind went blank.
At that moment, a voice came from behind, it was Wu Mingkong.
"Although Wushu Shushan is a bit of a troublemaker and unreliable," Wu Mingkong said in a pretendingly stern tone.
"He is not completely clueless. If he dares to make jokes at this moment, he must have a solid plan in mind."
Wushu Shushan remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"Indeed."
Wu Mingkong and Wushu Shushan are both among the seventy-two wise men under Martial Saint’s command, ranking quite high at second and fourth place respectively.
Although they both have their own strengths, they also have some disagreements.
Wushu Shushan continued, "Senior Qiao Shuangtu’s body and energy are deteriorating, so there is only one way to go – death."
"If we want to save him, medical skills won’t work, we can only rely on life-prolonging elixirs to extend his vitality."
The magical medicine… Wang Songhe shook his head instead.
"Even the Xuantian Sect doesn’t have this kind of magical medicine. Where else in the world could have it?"
Among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, Xuantian Sect is renowned for its alchemy skills.
In the past, he was chosen as a Medicine Man and admitted to Xuantian Sect… In fact, in recent years, he has indeed learned some orthodox immortal medicine theories.
Qiao Mu’s body was so powerful that it was beyond Wang Songhe’s imagination.
So if they wanted to rely on medicine for treatment, it would only be possible if the Xuantian Taoist Lord of the Soul Changing Stage was reborn, maybe then…
Xuantian Sect has already collapsed, and although there are many medicines in the treasure trove, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
Such high-quality magical medicine, if it truly existed… would have been used by the injured Xuantian Taoist Lord long ago, why wait until now?
Wushu Shushan argued back:
"While immortal pills are effective, it’s important to treat the illness accordingly."
"Immortal pills are mainly used by cultivators to strengthen their spirit; however, they are not as good as the Spiritual Meat Pill used by the Wuji Association in the past."
Wushu Shushan took out a storage bag from his pocket.
"My martial arts skills are limited, I have just read more books than the average martial artist. I am not that important even when I am at Peach Blossom Villa."
"There must be a reason why we rushed to Peach Blossom Villa before the Immortal Gate arrived."
Wushu Shushan weighed the storage bag in his hand.
…………………………………..
"Inside this storage bag are all the Spiritual Meat Pills stored in the main warehouse of the Wuji Association in Zhong Province."
"Since Senior Qiao Shuangtu has persuaded you to go to Peach Blossom Villa, why not take all these Spiritual Meat Pills with you as well?"
Before Wushu Shushan left, Zhong Province’s envoy Li Gongde found him to give him some special instructions.
"You better go soon, or else I might miss out on a great opportunity," said Li Gongde.
"So you’re confident that this thing will be very useful?" asked Wushu Shushan, surprised.
"Don’t forget that I am a messenger for the Wuji Association, I hear important information," explained Li Gongde.
"I heard about it from Wu Jing."
"Wu Qizheng sacrificed himself on Kuafu Mountain in the Western Province, using his own flesh and blood to save Qiao Tu’s life when he was in danger."
"Wu Qizheng’s natural constitution made him the perfect candidate for the Spiritual Meat Pill, so if there’s a next time… maybe a slightly lower quality pill could still save a life."
"There might be a next time for these things?" Wushu Shushan asked, surprised.
"You wouldn’t understand," Li Gongde smiled but said nothing.
"Being prepared is good, if you use it well, you will achieve great things naturally."
One or two years ago, when he first met a member of the Qiao family, he witnessed firsthand the fierce style of the Qiao family member’s actions.
In every battle, he would always start with the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method.
Back when Li Gongde was in Zhong Province Great Qin City, he actually saved a member of the Qiao family’s life once…
"Why do you want me to do it when a good person can?" Wushu Shushan asked, surprised.
"Ha, if I can really save the life of the famous Qiao family member in Jiu Province, that would be a great deed…" Li Gongde walked away with a smile.
Wushu Shushan squinted as he watched Li Gongde’s figure walking away.
He had an excellent memory and he remembered that Li Gongde was the one who first informed Qiao Shuangtu about the invasion of Nan Province by the five major Immortal Gates.
Speaking of which, Li Gongde was really meticulous in his work, he would thoroughly investigate the information beforehand and even plan out the Spiritual Meat Pills for healing after the event.
………………………………………………..
"Is this the better than Xuantian Sect’s medicine…Wuji Association’s Spiritual Meat Pill?"
Before the sickbed at the villa, Wang Songhe couldn’t help but twitch at the scene in front of him.
Each Spiritual Meat Pill is actually a squirming mass of flesh of various sizes, mostly half the size of a fist.
Just now, Wushu Shushan, right in front of him, emptied the stacked squirming masses of flesh from the storage bag onto Qiao Mu.
Upon touching Qiao Mu’s skin, the flesh mass seemed alive, forcibly pushing through the already fragile skin, diving into Qiao Mu’s body.
Faintly, one could see various sized flesh masses bulging and retracting in his body, moving like insects and earthworms within, before gradually calming down.
"The best Spiritual Meat Pill in the world is definitely Wu Qizheng’s, the others are not as good," Wushu Shushan said.
"Since the quality is not as good, then obviously we can only win by quantity."
"To save Senior Qiao Shuangtu’s physical body, even to save a life, it’s not something that can be done with just one or two Spiritual Meat Pills."
After speaking, Wushu Shushan shook the storage bag twice and continued pouring out one meat pill after another.
…………………………………….
Next to the small grove outside Peach Blossom Villa.
Three hundred old soldiers were doing their daily battle formation training in the clearing next to the grove.
The previous battles had been very difficult for these old soldiers, almost everyone was injured.
However, after the battle, they all felt a sense of urgency in their hearts, so without fully recovering from their injuries, they picked up their weapons again.
The Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates now viewed the Qiao family members as major enemies and traveled from afar to come here… so these old soldiers seemed somewhat insignificant on the battlefield of the Soul Changing Taoist Lord.
"When facing the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Xuantian Sect, we once said to each other that we shouldn’t just hide behind the Qiao family’s martial arts, being cowards who only seek help and reap rewards…" Li Changshi said.
"Even members of the Qiao family can die, as they are also mortal beings, so we should not just sit back and benefit from their efforts."
"But looking at it now… maybe there’s another issue." Li Changshi stopped speaking.
"General Li, just say what you want to say." Hai Siyuan urged from the side.
Li Changshi’s expression darkened slightly.
"Members of the Qiao family, they are not eternal beings after all."
After this battle, he realized something.
Members of the Qiao family… may not be eternal. Maybe one day, all members of the Qiao family will perish, with no successors.
This is actually a logical deduction.
However, members of the Qiao family have so many rules that defy logic, to the point where they have developed this kind of cognitive bias that defies logic.
If one day…
In Jiu Province, all the Qiao family members have died, and there are no more Qiao family members left thereafter?
There used to be True Immortals in this world, as well as powerful beings who could rival True Immortals. Western Province still holds remnants of battlefields where these beings once fought.
However, after countless ages, those incredibly powerful beings vanished, leaving behind only scattered legends in the mortal world.
On that fateful day at the battlefield, the mighty Qiao Shuangtu impressed Li Changshi so much that it made him question reality. This prompted him to ponder on this issue.
"If there are no more Qiao family members, our current strength is not enough to challenge an Immortal Gate, let alone the five great Immortal Gates."
Li Changshi took out a piece of golden paper from his pocket.
This was left behind by General Li Changge, who had been turned into a Taoist soldier, and it was his final gift.
Spiritual Sky Piercing Battle Formation
"Your idea is right, being prepared is important. What if Qiao family member really goes extinct?"
A familiar voice came from behind, everyone turned around and looked, showing surprise.
The person speaking is the owner Qiao Xin.
Qiao Xin walked slowly, moving a bit sluggish.
His physical body is actually a corpse over 5,000 years old, with flesh buds in his brain.
Usually controlled by Qiao Mu himself from a distance, operating seven or eight identities at once.
At this moment when the main body is unconscious, the remaining flesh buds and pre-cut ‘gods’ can temporarily control this body, maintaining a minimum level of awareness.
In fact, this was the method Qiao Mu came up with when he learned from Wu Qizheng how to fake death and survive by cutting flesh.
However, this can only sustain for a few more days at most… It won’t be long before it completely runs out, turning the flesh clone into a true corpse.
This was a safety mechanism set up by Qiao Mu, so that in case the main body was engaged in Long Life Dream, all flesh clones would disconnect.
Flesh buds are just flesh buds, controlling flesh clones only maintains minimal activity. Wanting to engage in intense battles is just wishful thinking.
Qiao Xin barely spoke a few words and was already dozing off under the shade of a tree, resembling a true old man.
Li Changshi originally wanted to elaborate on the battle formation left by Li Changge, but seeing this, he had to give up.
The Spiritual Sky Piercing Battle Formation is a collaborative technique that Li Changge learned from the Immortal Gate Taoist soldiers, incorporating it into the military formation of mortal martial arts.
Li Changshi had been studying day and night these past few days and had gained some understanding of this technique of collaborative battle formation.
The collaborative technique of Taoist soldiers, as explained by Taoist soldier Li Changge, is to gather the strength of thousands of Taoist soldiers into one’s own body through the Taoist soldier’s warlord.
However, Li Changge’s Spiritual Sky Piercing Battle Formation is actually different, showing a superior quality that surpasses the original technique.
