568: Chapter 103: Spring Plowing and Autumn Harvesting 568: Chapter 103: Spring Plowing and Autumn Harvesting The dimly lit straw hut was illuminated by the radiant fire of the Principle of Life.
“Mr.
Xiao Xie…”
The old man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
Zheng Fengsheng had faintly overheard the conversation between the two, but at that time, he was unable to open his eyes.
Now, with the aid of the Principle of Life,
He finally regained control of this body from the grasp of the illness.
“Thank you for your kindness.”
The old man chuckled with a hoarse voice, “I know, I’m about to die…
you don’t need to waste your energy saving me.”
Xie Xuanyi looked at the old man with calmness.
He shook his head and said, “Clear your mind, empty your Divine Sea, be devoid of stray thoughts, this will make the following treatment go smoother.”
He promised Chu Guo that he would try his best to save a life.
Xie Xuanyi rarely makes promises.
But once he does, he follows through decisively.
“Is this…
what is known as ‘Tao Rules’?”
Zheng Fengsheng spoke with some emotion in his voice.
He narrowed his eyes, looking at the Principle of Life scattered in front of him, turning into strands of white mist, brushing onto his body like willow catkins.
“You’ve heard of ‘Tao Rules’?”
Xie Xuanyi said.
“Heard of.
Never seen.”
Zheng Fengsheng extended his palm, the gentle light caressing him, and he too caressed this ball of light.
The old man murmured, “I’ve lived such a long life, I should have seen a few Immortal Masters…
I heard that this is a power only attainable when nearing the Yin God Realm after reaching the Cave Heaven Realm.”
“Yes.”
Xie Xuanyi did not evade, “After ascending to the Yin God Realm, these Tao Rules will condense into a Tao Realm, just like trees bear fruit in spring.”
The Principle of Life had already seeped into the old man’s body.
Xie Xuanyi’s Divine Thought also immersed within it.
He clearly saw the old man’s meridians and acupuncture points…
Just as he had previously surmised.
The blow in Pingzhi City had severed his legs and along with that, his lifeline.
This broken body was now saturated with poison.
To save Zheng Fengsheng’s life, one must separate this poison from the blood.
Which is nearly impossible to accomplish.
“Someone once said this to me.”
Zheng Fengsheng remarked again, “He was a rather peculiar Taoist, who said that Cultivators are no different from the mortals, cultivation of a person is but sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn.
In spring one plants the cause, in autumn one reaps the effect, it’s just that for different Cultivators…
the causes sown and the length of the four seasons will vary.”
“The person speaking these words is quite interesting.”
Xie Xuanyi responded perfunctorily, “What else did he say?”
In fact, he didn’t really care what that person said.
Ninety percent of his Heart Power was focused on examining Zheng Fengsheng’s broken body.
Reserving a portion of his Heart Power to converse with Zheng Fengsheng was to stabilize the other party.
Healing, saving a life.
It isn’t simply one side exerting effort and the other side receiving.
The toxins from Zheng Fengsheng’s severed legs had spread throughout his body, even his crown chakra couldn’t escape.
Xie Xuanyi needed to maintain Old Zheng’s emotions, as well as consciousness.
Maintaining a conversation with him was a good method to achieve that.
“He also said…”
Zheng Fengsheng pondered, then said, “The most worthless thing in this world is Wild Grass, even if burnt to ashes by wildfire, with a gust of the Spring Breeze, they spring up everywhere again.
Such causes and effects are better off not sown and cultivated.
If one wishes to cultivate, they should seek the Path to Heaven…
Unfortunately, the Path to Heaven is not so easy to pursue.”
“This might hurt a bit next.”
Xie Xuanyi wasn’t too intent on listening, he extended his palm, and gently pressed it on the old man’s broken leg: “You may continue speaking.”
A streak of the Principle of Life landed on the patella.
“Ssss—”
The Principle of Life turned into a tiny vortex, beginning to draw out the poison from the blood.
“Ugh…”
Old Zheng coughed dully.
He managed a smile: “Mr.
Xiao Xie, I know you are Xie Zhen of Chu Country.”
The whirlpool of the Principle of Life paused slightly.
“It’s not hard to guess.”
Xie Xuanyi spoke softly, “If you connect the dots between the sealing of Yuan Province and the disappearance of the Fan Yin Temple’s mission, you can infer a thing or two.
What difference does it make if you know?”
“I am from the Li Kingdom.”
Zheng Fengsheng said with a tinge of sadness, “You save me, aren’t you afraid that I’ll betray you?”
“If you wanted to betray me, you would have done so by now.”
Xie Xuanyi spoke indifferently, “The night you toppled the statue in Yuan Guang Temple was a good opportunity.”
Zheng Fengsheng said, “Is it possible…
that at that time I wasn’t certain of your identity?”
“No need to speak of these useless matters anymore.”
“Whether one is good or evil, I can see through at a glance.”
Xie Xuanyi remained indifferent, just frowning slightly, “It seems you do not wish for me to help you, why is that?”
“My being alive is not a good thing for Little Chu.”
Zheng Fengsheng’s voice shook slightly, though he still wore a smile, the sadness in his vocal tone deepened, “I know, you came for him…
If I live, he won’t follow you.”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi fell silent, but the healing whirl of the Principle of Life did not cease.
Half of the poison had been drawn out.
It reached the chest cavity.
The extraction of these toxins became extremely strenuous.
He began to infuse the “Undying Spring Water Vapor” into the Principle of Life.
It was after understanding the Principle of Life,
That Xie Xuanyi for the first time exhausted the Undying Spring, desiring to revive someone.
He fell into an unprecedented, wondrous state.
The Vapor of the Undying Spring water born in the Dantian, flitted into Zheng Fengsheng’s shell of a body, and Xie Xuanyi’s Divine Thought followed it…
Initially hoping to only clear the meridians and acupuncture points, incidentally eliminati
