Realms In The Firmament

They hoped that what Bu Xiangfeng brought to them was not bad news!

“Brother Bu… Old Bu!” The couple from the Dark Wind Mountain thought that they had successfully jumped the queue and became the next to see Ye Xiao. They walked over to Bu Xiangfeng hastily and spoke anxiously to Bu Xiangfeng. “Brother, what did he say?” They sounded a little flattering.

“Don’t rush.” Bu Xiangfeng showed them a hint through a blink.

The lord of the Dark Wind Mountain was an experienced cultivator, so he was glad to hear that. “Thank you, brother… Thank you so much…”

The others were all surprised. ‘What the hell?’

‘Is Bu Xiangfeng going to let the couple jump the queue just because they know each other?’

‘That is unacceptable! That is taking our time to serve their interests! Our man is dying too! How could he do that?’

While people were all doubting, and the resentment was rising in the crowd, Bu Xiangfeng said something.

He said, “He is ready to see the next patient now. The people who are next in line can take their man in now.”

As he said so, all of those who were waiting at the entrance were delighted. Four of them carried their man and rushed into the fortress.

The others did not hear any good news, so they were disappointed, and all stopped expecting Bu Xiangfeng to say anything more.

The lord and the lady of the Dark Wind Mountain were both surprised. They thought Bu Xiangfeng had made some special arrangement for them so their son could go to see the doctor first. That hint given to them through eye contact wasn’t as they expected. They were a bit annoyed.

‘Is he fooling around?’

‘Fooling around may get my son killed!’

“Old Bu, you…” The lord of the Dark Wind Mountain looked at Bu Xiangfeng and sounded unhappy.

“Calm down. Now, put this into your son’s mouth. He will be fine.” Bu Xiangfeng steadily gave the couple a small jade bottle.

The lord of the Dark Wind Mountain took over the jade bottle and grabbed it tight as if that was the most precious thing in the world. Without hesitation, he went to his son. He knelt down and poured out the dan bead from the jade bottle. He then placed the dan bead into his son’s mouth. Dan clouds kept rising up when he did it.

The man did not notice the dan clouds until his son swallowed the dan bead. He was shocked, and then said, “Holy heavens! It’s a supreme dan bead!”

His heart started beating rapidly!

The dan clouds obviously proved that it was a supreme dan bead! Whether it could save his son or not, that supreme dan bead was a great favor that he could never do enough to return!

A Supreme Dan was a treasure that hadn’t been seen in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for many years!

The next moment, what happened to his son was even more shocking. As the dan bead melted in the young man’s mouth, the young man actually started to breathe steadily. His life energy began to rise again. The lord of the Dark Wind Mountain was shaking as he saw how incredible the supreme dan bead was…

“Oh…” His wife eventually burst into tears after holding the tears back for a long time.

She cried with hope.

Her son was alive.

The lady of the Dark Wind Mountain had used the Life Sharing Technique to connect her life to her son. She knew the best of her son’s condition. When the dan bead melted in her son’s mouth, an incredibly strong flow of life energy rushed into her son’s body. It kept the young man alive and even filled her up with the energy. Her lost life energy was back too. She had never heard about such an incredible dan bead before!

The lord of the Dark Wind Mountain held his wife and son in his arms. His eyes were filled with warm tears too.

His son was safe, and his wife didn’t have to sacrifice herself. He couldn’t believe it actually happened!

Bu Xiangfeng did a great favor for him. Bu Xiangfeng, as an acquaintance to him, gave him such a valuable thing which was saving his son and his wife. That was such a great favor. ‘I owe Brother Bu so much. I shouldn’t have doubted him.’ He realized how narrow-minded he was to suspect Bu Xiangfeng of not being helpful.

However, that was not how he really was. There were not a lot of kind and brave men in the world… Bu Xiangfeng was certainly not one of those…

After a while, the lord of the Dark Wind Mountain saw Bu Xiangfeng giving every patient a supreme dan bead, which was as incredible as the one his son had… Everybody was grateful for his help…

‘What? Wasn’t it just for us? Everybody has one?’

He was surprised by the truth, but he was still grateful for what Bu Xiangfeng did for him.

After all, Bu Xiangfeng gave the first one to him. That meant he was more important than the others for Bu Xiangfeng.

At that moment, any second mattered!

“Guys, the dan beads are made by my master. They are Temporary Life Dan beads! This dan does not cure any sickness, but it keeps the patients alive! Whoever eats the dan bead will get a certain time to be alive. Any dying man could temporarily escape death for some time! That is why it is called the Temporary Life Dan!”

“In the temporary time that was given by the dan bead, as long as the patient does not make any reckless move or get hurt again, he won’t become any worse!” Bu Xiangfeng explained to the people.

“I see.” The people all got it, and they were all relieved, but also took a cold breath.

They were relieved because they got about two hours more, so their men wouldn’t die in a short time. That should be enough for the Hall of Life and Death to save their lives!

They took a cold breath because they were shocked by the incredible dan. These people were all beyond the Divinity Origin Stage and were stronger than the Dark Evil Spirit, Bai Long, and Qiu Luo. They were all experienced cultivators. When they fed their men the dan beads, they didn’t pay attention to the dan beads. Now, as things were settled, they remembered the dan clouds of the dan beads from the jade bottles. The lord of the Dark Wind Mountain shouted out ‘supreme dan,’ and that was what astonished them all!

As they thought deeper, they understood why it was called the supreme dan. These patients were all dying, and they were all hopeless since they could not be cured by any ordinary treatments. Only a supreme dan could give them a chance to survive. The master of the Hall of Life and Death actually gave them all those supreme dan beads. He must be a generous and capable man.

As they heard Bu Xiangfeng introduce the Temporary Life Dan, they were all astonished. Even if it wasn’t in the supreme level, those were still the most extremely valuable dans in the world!

‘The master of the Hall of Life and Death is actually so good at the art of dan making. He is indeed a marvelous doctor. We are lucky!’

Those who thought deeper realized why the Hall of Life and Death wanted so much in return while saving somebody’s life. What he was going to pay for saving one’s life was enough to buy anybody’s loyalty!

Bu Xiangfeng finished giving the dan beads to the patients and made sure nobody was missed. As he walked to the lord of the Dark Wind Mountain—Meng Youjiang—he said, “Brother Meng, in the Hall of Life and Death, timing is important. Who comes first gets to see the master first. I can’t break the rule for you. You came late, and I can’t get you in any earlier, so… I took some extra Temporary Life Dan beads for you. My master told me that this dan’s efficacy won’t decrease, so your son can take as many as he needs. The more he eats, the longer time he has.”

He secretly handed a jade bottle to Meng Youjiang after his words.

Meng Youjiang was surprised, and he hurriedly took it over. He was so touched that he nearly shed tears.

His son wouldn’t die.

That meant he wouldn’t die before the master of the Hall of Life and Death gave him the proper treatment!

“Thank you…” The lord of the Dark Wind Mountain, Meng Youjiang’s voice was shaking. His eyes turned red. He held Bu Xiangfeng’s hands and kept shaking them. He did not want to let go.

He understood how much he owed Bu Xiangfeng this time. The dan beads were all supreme dan beads, which meant these were all precious treasures. The Temporary Life Dan was one of the most extremely valuable dan in the world!

Ye Xiao was a little ignorant. He didn’t realize how useful the Temporary Life Dan was. It was important and useful for people fighting in a battle, which could provide some power for people who were dying.

Bu Xiangfeng knew how useful it was, but he didn’t care much about it, because he got too many from Ye Xiao. That was a big mistake!

“Brother Bu…” Meng Youjiang’s wife turned over and looked grateful. “Is it possible to cure my son?”

That question was full of hope, but full of fear too.

The deepest despair was to lose hope right after getting one. Ye Xiao did a great job in convincing these people, but… No matter how good the Temporary Life Dan was, it did not cure those people yet! Meng Youjiang’s wife just asked the question everybody else wanted to ask!

Bu Xiangfeng had faith in Ye Xiao. He kept thinking of those supreme level Saint Cloud Dan beads in Ye Xiao’s hands, and he knew that what these people needed meant nothing compared to the Saint Cloud Dan. He took a deep breath and said, “If my master wants to save your son, even if your son is dead, he will bring him back to life!”

“Really?” The man and the lady were both shaking.

They were excited and also shocked.

‘He can bring a man back to life from death?’

‘How confident he must be!’

Bu Xiangfeng lowered his voice and said, “Let me tell you more. My master is a descendant of the Great Master Ye. The City of Chaos has been in peace for one hundred thousand years. My master built the Hall of Life and Death right in the City of Chaos… He has a lot of things that can save one’s life… Even if a man has his soul broken and scattered, my master can regather the broken pieces of the soul and bring the man back to life… Your son only suffers from external injuries… I don’t see why he can’t be saved.”

“Oh…” The couple took a long breath in relief after what Bu Xiangfeng said. They finally felt relaxed.

“That explains everything. The master of the Hall of Life and Death is a descendant of the Great Master Ye. No wonder I have this feeling from him. It feels great. What an extraordinary man…” The man and the lady looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with joy and surprise.

“It is too early to celebrate anything. You two have faith in Master Ye now, but I can’t be sure that he will save your son for you…” Bu Xiangfeng kept talking to them through mind connection. He looked serious.

“Why? I know his rules. Is there anything else he wants?” Meng Youjiang said in surprise.

“He meant every word he said. He never breaks his own words. However, you have to understand him… The Ye Clan has been gone for one hundred thousand years. Now that it has returned to the world, it is not as famous as the old days. Master Ye travels the martial world to serve the goal of bringing back the glorious fame to the Ye Clan. However, the Ye Clan didn’t give him any men to help because they want him to be well trained.”

Bu Xiangfeng said, “He is a genius, but he is weak in cultivation. Every step he made in this world risks his life. That is why he decided to save people’s lives and get himself some followers… He made the rule that forces you to choose from two options. He had no choice…”

Bu Xiangfeng gave the couple a hint with his eyes.

The man and the lady were both experienced cultivators, so they understood what Bu Xiangfeng meant immediately. They looked at Bu Xiangfeng in the eyes but stayed silent.

In fact, what Bu Xiangfeng said was all his own conjecture, but he was certain that it was the truth!

“If you don’t mind, may I ask, if Master Ye saves your son, what would you choose from those two options?” Bu Xiangfeng asked.
