ACER-Chapter 58: I Am Tian Xuanzi

Di Yange, the furball, slept for more than half a year.

During this half year, although she appeared to be sleeping, the meridians throughout her body were actually being reconstructed.

Having already opened three seals, once her meridians finished being reconstructed this time, she would recover part of her divine meridians, and her cultivation speed would also increase severalfold.

But it was only a portion. If she wanted to recover completely, she would have to reconstruct her meridians each time she opened a seal. After undergoing this nine more times, she would be able to completely recover her divine meridians.

However, no one could endure the pain of reconstructing their meridians.

When Di Yange, the furball, opened her round black eyes, what she saw was still this familiar environment.

The room was tidied very neatly, the floor was still spotless, and she was curled up on the luxurious little bed laid atop the only bed in the room.

Not far away was still a wooden board, and atop it was a faded, tattered cotton quilt that was neatly folded.

Back then, Long Yanche had slept there.

But now, where did he go?

Just how long had she slept?

Cultivation really delayed things.

And it seemed that she had accidentally developed another new skill: automatically cultivating whenever she fell asleep.

This was too terrifying.

So terrifying that she didn’t even dare to sleep anymore.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

Di Yange raised her furry little head and looked at the person who had entered.

“Xiao Li, you actually woke up? Are you all right now?”

Nangong Zhi looked at Di Yange in delight and wanted to stroke her little head. But when she remembered that she had abandoned her own lifesaving benefactor for the sake of the Nangong Family back then, she guiltily withdrew her hand.

“Xiao Li, although you have woken up, your injuries are still very severe. But don’t worry, Ah Jin has already gone to search for Tian Xuanzi for you. As long as he finds Tian Xuanzi, you will definitely recover.”

Di Yange’s little ears twitched as she thought of that old man Tian Xuanzi.

Thinking about it now, Tian Xuanzi had only possessed Nascent Soul cultivation back then and had suffered the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. Was he still alright?

“Xiao Li, rest first. I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll go first.”

After Nangong Zhi left, Di Yange immediately bolted away.

Although she already knew that Tian Xuanzi’s chances of surviving weren’t high, she still wanted to go and see him, while conveniently finding Long Yanche and bringing him back.

Di Yange ran wildly all the way.

Most of her cultivation had already recovered, and after reconstructing her bloodline, her current speed was even faster than it had been during her previous peak condition.

It’s just that she… suddenly discovered that she didn’t know the way.

In the end, she found a clothing shop that no longer had anyone inside and first transformed into her human form.

Di Yange looked at the bewitchingly beautiful young man in white with ink-black hair reflected in the mirror. Her originally white hair had become ink-black, and she finally looked somewhat human.

The only eye-catching feature was the purple pattern between her brows, which made her face appear even more bewitching.

So she found a veiled hat. After putting it on, the effect was indeed much better.

When leaving, Di Yange didn’t forget to spit out a spirit stone.

Afterward, she arrived at the relay station overnight and stated that she wanted to go to Divine Physician Valley.

Of course, no one was willing to take her at first. Di Yange directly tossed out several spirit stones, and a coachman immediately became eager to try.

“Young Master, are you also going to Divine Physician Valley? Seven days ago, there was another young master dressed just like you who was also going to Divine Physician Valley. Could the two of you know each other?”

Di Yange directly said, “Set off.”

Seeing that she wasn’t talkative, the coachman took the spirit stones and said cheerfully, “Young Master, rest assured. Three days. Three days is already the fastest.”

“I’m not riding in a carriage. Just point the way out for me.”

“Ah?”

As she spoke, Di Yange directly tossed out a sword.

Needless to say, this sword had also been casually taken from the treasure vault.

She grabbed the coachman by the scruff and shot straight into the sky.

With the terrified coachman pointing out the way, they arrived within the area of Divine Physician Valley in less than a quarter of an hour.

From afar, Di Yange sensed Long Yanche’s aura. After throwing the coachman down, she tossed him another three spirit stones.

After receiving the spirit stones, the coachman quickly ran away.

Meanwhile, Di Yange had already strolled to a spot not far behind Long Yanche.

This Divine Physician Valley felt both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

This place had once been extremely lively, filled everywhere with living beings who had come seeking medical treatment. But on the road, she had heard the coachman say that Tian Xuanzi of Divine Physician Valley hadn’t appeared for six years.

It seemed that ever since she left, Tian Xuanzi had never appeared again.

And this place had long since become desolate and overgrown with weeds. It truly looked as though no one had been here for a very long time.

But Long Yanche was kneeling alone at the spot in Divine Physician Valley where she herself had once knelt.

His back was straight, like a green pine.

As someone with a dragon bloodline, he naturally possessed pride in his bones and would rather die than yield. Yet through the grinding passage of the years, it seemed that all his sharp edges had been worn smooth.

He was even willing to kneel here for her.

For a moment, Di Yange was filled with countless emotions.

Back then, she had come here for herself, but Long Yanche had come for her.

This was the first time someone had gone so far for her ever since she arrived in this other world.

Sigh, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved.

So she decided… to treat him as a good brother.

In the future, she would definitely stand in front of her good brother and block every fatal crisis for him.

At this moment, Di Yange saw her good brother Long Yanche sway several times before suddenly collapsing to the ground.

She hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Long Yanche’s wrist.

She discovered that he hadn’t eaten for several days and that his body was abnormally weak, so weak that he had nearly died again. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have knelt there for quite a few days.

Just then, although he had clearly already fainted, he seemed to sense someone and slowly opened his eyes.

He excitedly grabbed Di Yange’s arm, “You… are you Tian Xuanzi? I… I…”

“I’m not. Tian Xuanzi has long since left this place, leave once you recover.”

As Di Yange spoke, she tried to stuff a pill into Long Yanche’s mouth.

Although Long Yanche was already completely dazed, he firmly refused to eat the pill. He merely clutched the hem of Di Yange’s white robe and continuously murmured, “Tian Xuanzi, you must be Tian Xuanzi… Don’t save me. Save Xiao Li.”

“I’m really not. Eat this pill first.”

“No, you are.”

Long Yanche had already investigated. Tian Xuanzi wore white all year round and wore a white veiled hat that prevented others from seeing his face clearly, his voice was also said to be excessively young. She had even examined his condition.

If she wasn’t Tian Xuanzi, who else would come to this already desolate ghost of a place?

“If you don’t save Xiao Li, I won’t eat it. Xiao Li is about to die. If you won’t save it, then let me die together with it.”

After saying this in agitation, Long Yanche fainted.

Seeing that her good brother had fainted just like that, Di Yange directly stuffed the pill into his mouth.

Afterward, she carried Long Yanche on her shoulder and walked around inside Divine Physician Valley.

Divine Physician Valley had long since become completely deserted.

It was very obvious that after that day, Tian Xuanzi had never returned.

She guessed that Tian Xuanzi was most likely gone.

It seemed that the Xuan Medical Immortal Sect would truly have to rely on her to flourish.

But it wasn’t much of a problem. Even after she returned home, she could find several disciples there to pass down the inheritance.

There would be strength in numbers over there, so she would eventually find some promising seedlings.

Di Yange carried Long Yanche to an inn. After seeing that he was fine, she concealed herself in the shadows.

She had originally thought that after Long Yanche failed to find Tian Xuanzi, he would leave. But she had clearly underestimated his rotten temper.

After waking up, Long Yanche returned to Divine Physician Valley and knelt down again.

As expected of her good brother, their tempers were quite similar.

After this happened several times, Di Yange had to admit defeat.

She could only appear before Long Yanche and say to him, “Boy, what exactly will it take for you to leave?”

Long Yanche knelt there respectfully, “Senior Tian Xuanzi, please save Xiao Li.”

“Boy, I see that your bloodline is extraordinary, I can help you activate your bloodline. When the time comes, you can become a powerful cultivator. What Xiao Li? How could that be more important than becoming stronger yourself?”

When Long Yanche learned that he could also cultivate, he became excited for an instant.

But…

“I want to save Xiao Li.”

“Why are you so stubborn, boy? Forget it, I am Tian Xuanzi.”

Speaking of which, she was currently a disciple of the Immortal Medical Xuan Sect, while Tian Xuanzi was the title used by every generation of sect master.

Now that the previous Tian Xuanzi was possibly already gone, there’s nothing wrong with saying that she was Tian Xuanzi.

Although she really didn’t want to be any Tian Xuanzi, she had always been willing to take a knife in each rib for a brother. This was merely becoming Tian Xuanzi.

After Di Yange tacitly acknowledged herself as Tian Xuanzi, the surrounding crowd instantly erupted.

“What does the Demon Emperor mean? What right does he have to call himself Tian Xuanzi? Don’t think that just because he possesses the inheritance given by Tian Xuanzi, he is Tian Xuanzi. He is simply shameless beyond measure.”

“That’s right, Tian Xuanzi is a saint of the present age. What right does he have to compare himself with Tian Xuanzi? He is defiling our saint.”

“The Demon Emperor has truly gone too far. He can slander anyone else, but he shouldn’t belittle Tian Xuanzi like this.”

For a moment, everyone looked at Di Yange on the divine throne, their eyes red with anger.

Di Yange merely swept an indifferent glance over the crowd and said arrogantly, “What are you looking at? This Emperor never wanted to be any Tian Xuanzi in the first place. This Emperor still prefers being Emperor Venerable. Seeing the way you all look every day when you see me as though you wished you could kneel before me, truly leaves This Emperor extremely satisfied. Haha.”

“Demon Emperor, you won’t remain arrogant for much longer. Sooner or later, you will die a horrible death.”

“Then I truly thank you.”
