Chapter 543: Issue my order: Immediately purchase a pound of top-grade Soul-Nourishing Seeds, sparin
Chen Xuan said no more, and with a wisp of pure spiritual power condensed at his fingertips, he gently touched the purple barrier.
In just a few breaths, the purple barrier dissipated.
Creak!
The old wooden door opened slowly with a soft creak.
Chen Xuan leaped into the room.
boom!
The wooden door was immediately shut, cutting off all the chaos and noise from the outside world.
The room was filled with the aroma of medicine, yet it also carried a faint scent of blood.
Chen Xuan looked up and the scene before him made his heart clench. His pupils widened suddenly, filled with heartache and shock!
Si Yao was dressed in a thin white gauze dress, sitting cross-legged on a soft couch, her long black hair hanging messily over her shoulders.
Her head and the back of her neck were densely covered with gleaming silver needles, the ends of which trembled slightly.
Each needle pierced precisely into a vital acupoint, indicating that the person had suffered extremely severe injuries.
Shuangyue was seen putting away the silver needles, her forehead covered in sweat, while Luoge sat solemnly on the soft couch.
Both of them were startled to see the sect leader suddenly appear.
Luo Ge reacted extremely quickly.
Seeing Chen Xuan's sharp gaze sweep across the couch, he immediately reached out and grabbed the outer garment draped over the screen, quickly putting it on Si Yao.
"cough……"
Si Yao was already weak, and when she was wrapped in the outer garment, she instinctively shrank back.
She then gripped her clothes tightly with both hands, wrapping herself up completely.
Hearing Chen Xuan's voice, she lowered her head shyly.
Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, obscuring half of her pale face.
Upon seeing this, Shuangyue quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully before Chenxuan:
"Frostmoon greets the Sect Master."
"Shuangyue has failed in her duties and deserves to die!"
Chen Xuan's gaze passed over Shuang Yue's shoulder and landed on the trembling figure on the soft couch. His brows furrowed slightly, and his tone sounded somewhat urgent:
"How is Miss Siyao's health?"
Shuangyue raised her head, her expression panicked:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, Si Yao's soul has now stabilized, and her life is no longer in danger."
"But... but her spiritual energy was depleted and her mind was injured, so she is still somewhat shaken."
Is this really true?
Chen Xuan clearly didn't believe it, and his voice deepened.
He walked slowly to the soft couch, his eyes piercing, trying to see Si Yao's expression.
Luo Ge sat on the couch, one hand lightly supporting Si Yao's back, and said in a deep voice:
"If the sect leader doesn't believe it, he can investigate himself."
"Junior Sister Si Yao is indeed out of danger, but it's not advisable to say more."
Chen Xuan ignored Luo Ge and walked straight to the bed.
At this moment, Si Yao, who had been keeping her head down, trembled slightly and finally couldn't help but slowly raise her head.
Her long hair was slightly disheveled, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks.
Those gentle eyes were now misty and red-rimmed, filled with tears.
She wasn't wearing her usual white veil, revealing a beautiful but bloodless face.
At this moment, her tear-streaked appearance is truly pitiful to behold.
"Si Yao... is unable to rise and perform the ceremony. Please forgive me, Sect Master."
Her voice was soft, trembling slightly, and she lowered her head in a fluster after speaking.
Chen Xuan's initial doubts and anger dissipated almost entirely the moment he saw her like this.
"It's alright! It's alright!"
Chen Xuan smiled with relief.
He waved his hand and said gently:
"You're lucky you've woken up, what crime have you committed?"
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a delicate little brocade box appeared out of thin air.
The lid popped open automatically, and a refreshing fragrance instantly filled the room, suppressing the smell of medicine.
"This is the Qi-Strengthening Pill that I have carefully refined."
Chen Xuan gently placed the brocade box on the low table beside the couch and pushed it toward Si Yao.
"Take one pill daily for seven consecutive days, and it will surely help you solidify your foundation and restore your vitality."
Upon hearing this, Si Yao raised her head again.
When she saw the crystal-clear pill, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, which then turned into deep gratitude.
Her eyes reddened, and two streams of tears finally slid down her cheeks as she choked out:
"Si Yao...Thank you, Sect Master."
"I will never forget the Sect Master's great kindness."
Looking at her pitiful and beautiful appearance, Chen Xuan felt a strange flutter in his heart.
"Alright, take good care of your injury."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, then straightened up.
"I'll take my leave now, so as not to disturb your rest."
He turned to leave, but his gaze fell on Luo Ge again.
At this moment, Luo Ge was still sitting on the couch, supporting Si Yao with one hand.
Her expression was gentle and serene.
Chen Xuan paused, his tone becoming serious:
"The Immortal Physician".
Luo Ge looked up and asked in confusion:
"What are your orders, Sect Master?"
"Miss Si Yao is a pillar of the sect, and she was injured this time while cultivating the Soul Nourishing Grass."
Chen Xuan looked at her intently.
"You must take good care of him."
"If anything happens to her..."
"Sect Master, rest assured."
Luo Ge interrupted Chen Xuan, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
"As long as I, Luo Ge, am here, Si Yao will be fine."
"If anything happens to her, I will offer my head in retribution."
Chen Xuan stared at her for a long time before nodding.
"Alright. Then I'll have to trouble you, Immortal Physician Luo."
Shuangyue followed closely behind Chenxuan and stepped out of the wooden house.
At dawn in summer, the blazing sun shines like molten gold.
The cicadas' desperate chirping tore at the air.
Shuangyue's mind was filled with the image of Siyao with tears streaming down her face.
I saw the two of them leave.
Xingze and Junyan, who were not far away, immediately stepped forward.
Xingze asked with a puzzled look:
"Sect Master, is Miss Si Yao alright?"
Jun Yan raised an eyebrow and leaned closer, his teasing tone tinged with concern:
"Chenxuan, you went in and came out so quickly, didn't you spend more time with your beauty?"
"Hey!"
Chen Xuan sighed deeply.
His brow furrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible flow of spiritual energy circulated within his sleeve, as if suppressing his turbulent emotions.
"Sect affairs are of paramount importance. Right now, we must spend a large sum of money to purchase Soul Nourishing Seeds and save Yun Che as soon as possible. This is the most urgent task."
He paused, then his voice suddenly turned stern:
"By my order, immediately purchase one hundred catties of top-grade Soul-Nourishing Seeds, sparing no expense! If Yun Che's soul is scattered, Shuang Yue, you will come to me with your head!"
Before the words were even finished!
The cicadas chirping on the old locust tree in the distance suddenly fell silent, and even the wind seemed to freeze for a moment.
Shuangyue's heart sank suddenly.
He bent his knees and said in reverence:
"Shuangyue takes command!"
Chen Xuan's stern expression remained unchanged; with a flick of his sleeve, he helped her to her feet.
Xingze's expression changed drastically. He took a step forward, hesitated as if to speak, but ultimately just lowered his head and bowed, the hem of his purple robe hanging down like ink, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.
The smile on Jun Yan's face had long since vanished.
Chen Xuan stopped looking at the crowd, turned around and put his hands behind his back, gazing at the layered cloud shadows of the distant mountains. His back was as lonely and steep as a cold peak.
The scorching sun beat down on his robes, but it couldn't dispel the burning anxiety and coldness surging in his eyes.
Yun Che has awakened, Si Yao is mentally and physically damaged, and crises lurk both inside and outside the sect. The heavy burden rests on his shoulders alone.
"Junyan, you shall personally lead the elite escort team to purchase supplies, and set up six restrictions along the way. Anyone who is robbed shall be killed without mercy."
Chen Xuan's voice was calm, yet every word he uttered was sharp and pointed.
“Xingze, you are responsible for guarding the Wuji Sect’s medicinal fields and preventing evil spirits from making a comeback. If even one Soul Nourishing Grass is missing, you will be held accountable.”
The two responded in unison, their voices echoing through the drunken evening forest.
Chen Xuan then turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Shuang Yue, whose face was still deathly pale, and his tone softened slightly:
"Frosty Moon, quickly go and inventory the Wuji Sect's treasury, and prepare enough for ten million top-grade gold spirit stones. There must be no mistakes."
