I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Chapter 152: Chapter 110: Above the Great Grandmaster?

Translator: 549690339

Shi’er swallowed a Qi and Blood Pill and began his cultivation, feeling the enhancement of his qi and blood, he became excited.

Pills are truly treasures that aid in cultivation.

One pill is equivalent to half a month of arduous cultivation for him.

“Although pills are easy to refine and leave no impurities behind, one must not consume them excessively, as they can easily lead to an inflated but unstable realm.”

After pondering for a while, Shi’er put away the remaining pills.

“I have already mastered the basics, it’s time to learn some sword techniques. The master only imparts knowledge, which 1 cannot learn or comprehend. It’s better to wait for Meng Chong to return and teach me.

“Or perhaps, I could learn some techniques from the Inner Domain.”

As Shi’er thought about this, he looked at the time; it was time to cook. Several days had passed, and it was time to stew chicken soup— the master enjoys it.

As he stepped out, he saw Meng Chong returning, bare-chested with a wound on his chest, his body covered in bloodstains, which took Shi’er by surprise.

“Meng Chong, what happened to you?”

This was clearly the aftermath of a brutal battle, especially the wound on the chest; had it been any deeper, his life would have been in danger.

He knew very well how strong Meng Chong’s physical body was.

Even he, a martial artist, could not break through Meng Chong’s defenses, let alone an ordinary person.

“It’s just a minor injury, not a big problem.”

Meng Chong walked into the courtyard, gasping for breath.

“Second senior brother, how did you get injured?”

Su Lingxiu was shocked and hurried over.

“Second senior brother, don’t move, I’ll treat your wounds.”

Zhou Ying brought over a chair for Meng Chong to sit on.

“Master!”

Li Xuan approached calmly, and Meng Chong respectfully called out.

“We’ll talk after treating the wound.”

Li Xuan nodded and sat back down.

Watching Su Lingxiu apply medicine to Meng Chong, he spoke, “Stitch up the wound, it’ll heal faster!”

Su Lingxiu was startled and looked at her master, “Like sewing clothes?”

“More or less.”

Li Xuan nodded.

Su Lingxiu looked at the wound on Meng Chong’s chest thoughtfully, wondering what to use for stitching.

Needle and thread?

“Junior sister, do you think this is Spiritual Medicine?”

At that moment, Meng Chong lifted up a silver grass wrapped in cloth with his treasured saber.

“This is… Water Spirit Grass, it is Spiritual Medicine!”

Su Lingxiu was overjoyed.

She thought of the material to stitch the wound, took a piece of Water Spirit Grass, and after rubbing it with her fingers a few times, she pulled out several fine threads from it.

“Senior brother, I will help you stitch up the wound.”

Su Lingxiu took out a needle, threaded it with the Water Spirit Grass threads, and tried to stitch Meng Chong’s wound, but the needle could not penetrate at all.

The needle bent upon trying.

“Senior brother, this…”

Meng Chong’s muscles twitched a few times and he said, “Junior sister, this is good enough.”

Su Lingxiu tried again, and although it was difficult, like sewing through leather, she managed to stitch it together at last.

After carefully stitching up the wound, Meng Chong also controlled his muscles to prevent the wound from splitting open.

Then, Su Lingxiu applied more medicine to Meng Chong, using a liquid made from Water Spirit Grass. After applying it to the wound, Meng Chong’s bloodstains began to fade.

In a day or two, not even a trace would be left.

“So, the reason master suddenly left was because he discovered second senior brother was in danger?”

Su Lingxiu thought to herself.

This also explained why the master suddenly left.

“Second senior brother, where did you get this Water Spirit Grass from? There are no Spiritual Medicines in the Border Wilderness; did you go to the Inner Domain?”

Su Lingxiu asked curiously.

Only the Inner Domain harbored Spiritual Medicines. Were Meng Chong’s wounds the result of a fierce battle in the Inner Domain?

“It was in the Capital City of Wu Country. 1 encountered a person who was respected in Wu Country’s martial world for his virtue and high standing, but for some reason, he suddenly became incredibly powerful. I felt he was no longer the same person…”

Meng Chong’s expression was grave.

Senior Wu’s condition was very strange.

He recalled the worm that had appeared on Senior Wu’s forehead, perhaps related to this mysterious creature.

Li Xuan looked over, “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

Meng Chong recounted the entire incident and the combat process in great detail, without leaving anything out.

The biggest question was why Senior Wu had become so powerful.

Moreover, it seemed that the opponent was a practitioner of demonic cultivation, whose techniques closely resembled those of Xue Wuxin but were more refined and sharper.

Li Xuan looked calm but was secretly alarmed.

All signs pointed to Senior Wu being possessed, but why would someone possess a centenarian old man?

Where had Senior Wu been taken over?

From the current situation in Wu Country’s martial world, it was very likely that he was possessed while seeking guidance from a sage in the Endless Mountains.

And that worm was probably the host of the possession!

“Great Grandmasters don’t possess the ability to take over bodies; the opponent’s strength exceeds that of a Great Grandmaster. And if I’m not mistaken, it should be a Remnant Soul that resides within that worm?

“That worm must be extraordinary, the foundation upon which the possession is based.

“There are stronger forces beyond the realm of Great Grandmaster after all. Why then, in the Inner Domain, is the Great Grandmaster considered the pinnacle? Could there be some limitation for martial artists beyond Great Grandmaster?

“The opponent’s Remnant Soul is weak, with very little of its origin left, which is why Meng Chong’s Blade Intent could suppress it, allowing it to be killed.”

Li Xuan pondered internally.

Meng Chong continued recounting the perilous battle, especially towards the end when he could have pursued his advantage and killed the opponent in one fell swoop, but suddenly, an overwhelming pressure emerged.
