From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Xu Chunliang’s cultivation went extremely smoothly tonight, with True Qi circulating endlessly within his body, his meridians feeling as refreshed as if bathed in spring breeze, his body cleansed anew from inside out. With such progress, it might not take long before he can reconstruct the Innate Realm, and upon this foundation, re-cultivate the "Tongtian Canon". Surpassing his former prowess by age thirty wouldn’t be impossible.

As the True Qi ran through his body, Xu Chunliang had fully entered a state of selflessness, soon advancing to egolessness, naturally reaching a state where the external world and he are merged, where he is in unity with all things, which is the unity of self and external world, embodying oneness with heaven and earth.

In this realm, indistinct and unknowable, suddenly with a booming sound, the body is enlightened, heaven and earth shine brightly, the five senses and mind unified, all physical illusions gone, leaving only a chaotic world dominated by a singular stream, making it impossible to discern between self and objects.

Xu Chunliang had reached a critical moment in his cultivation, the whole person transcending worldly matters.

It was now deep into the night when silence reigned, all lights in the Xu Family rooms extinguished. Hua Zhuyue had already lain down to rest but suddenly smelled a faint osmanthus fragrance, finding it very pleasant. Inhaling deeply, she was suddenly struck with dizziness.

Hua Zhuyue alarmed inwardly, held her breath immediately, but it was too late; before detecting it, she had already inhaled a significant amount of fragrance. The sight before her eyes grew hazy, akin to drunkenness. She struggled out of bed, stumbled along the wall into the restroom, opened the shower, letting cold water pour over her head, trying to quickly regain clarity through this method.

She picked up a towel, soaked it with water, and covered her nose and mouth, certain that the fragrance was toxic.

With Hua Zhuyue regaining some sanity, she recalled the others in the room and dialed Xu Chunliang’s phone, only to find her own phone had no signal, evidently disrupted by some device interfering with nearby mobile signals.

Hua Zhuyue wanted to call for help, but her throat seemed blocked with a wad of cotton, unable to make a sound, a result of the toxins affecting her vocal cords. Alarmed, she wondered if Xu Chunliang had also fallen victim. She first headed to the neighboring room, reaching out to twist the doorknob, but Su Qing had locked it from inside.

Hua Zhuyue’s physical strength hadn’t fully recovered, each step requiring all her energy, reliant solely on her will.

At that moment, outside, three black-clad individuals wearing gas masks entered through the front door, causing Hua Zhuyue to hastily hide behind the fortune tree under the stairs.

Two of them proceeded up the stairs to the second floor, one heading straight for the room Su Qing stayed in. Hua Zhuyue hoped this person would give up upon finding the door locked.

Yet the intruder was evidently a lock-picking expert, effortlessly prying open the door and entering.

Hua Zhuyue glanced around, grabbed a vase, and followed closely behind.

The black-clad intruder turned on the light, his eyes focused on Su Qing, who lay asleep on the bed, and drew a dagger from behind.

Hua Zhuyue believed this person intended harm towards Su Qing, and rushed forward without concern for her safety, smashing the vase on the intruder’s head.

The vase shattered into pieces, but the intruder remained unscathed; he turned his head, glaring viciously at Hua Zhuyue, suddenly reaching out to grip Hua Zhuyue’s throat.

Though Hua Zhuyue’s combat power was actually considerable, under normal circumstances she could evade, but the issue today was her prior poisoning, greatly diminishing her abilities.

The intruder grabbed Hua Zhuyue’s throat, slammed her harshly against the wall, raising his dagger, ready to stab without hesitation.

At this critical moment, Su Qing rushed from behind, throwing herself upon the intruder, her hands clutching his wrists.

In truth, Su Qing hadn’t slept all night; her sensitivity to scents made her hold her breath upon smelling the fragrance, thus hardly inhaling any toxins.

While choosing clothes, Su Qing had found several fire masks in her room bought by Zhen Chun, who, despite her usual nonchalance, had high safety awareness. These masks, intended for each room, were all stashed in her own room due to others’ skepticism, unexpectedly becoming useful this time.

Su Qing heard the door being opened and quickly pretended to sleep, aiming to catch the intruder off guard, yet hadn’t anticipated Hua Zhuyue’s reckless rush to save her, drawing the intruder’s attention.

With swift actions, Su Qing donned the gas mask, at the key moment lunging at the black-clad intruder.

The intruder’s physique was burly, his strength immense; he fiercely hurled Hua Zhuyue to the ground, then took her up again, slamming her down.

Su Qing felt blood squeezed from her chest, ribs aching intensely, uncertain if they’d fractured, yet she still clung to the intruder’s wrist.

Hua Zhuyue fared little better, but the pain cleared her hazy mind significantly, grabbing a shard of porcelain from the ground, she fiercely stabbed it into the intruder’s thigh, the shard sharp as a knife, deeply piercing the flesh, causing the intruder to emit a miserable scream, his body rising up, grasping Hua Zhuyue’s hair with his left hand, violently slamming her head against the floor.

Hua Zhuyue protected her forehead with one hand, wielding the bloodstained shard with the other, slashing across the intruder’s left arm. Another bloody gash over an inch long appeared instantly on the intruder’s arm, blood pouring, the cut deep enough to reveal bone, eliciting another agonized scream from him.

The two intruders entered Xu Chunliang’s room without encountering any obstacles, as Xu Chunliang hadn’t even locked the door.

They looked at Xu Chunliang, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed like a meditating monk, and had no idea what mysterious act he was up to.

The one on the left nodded, and the one on the right drew a machete and approached Xu Chunliang’s neck slowly.

Xu Chunliang, who had originally entered a selfless state, suddenly opened his eyes. Although his cultivation for the night was not complete, he was already aware when the intruders entered the room. Awakening from a selfless state wasn’t easy; once cultivation starts, it’s like a high-speed train, you need a process to stop it. Forcibly interrupting it could cause significant harm to a cultivator’s body.

Xu Chunliang stared at the two intruders, puffed his cheeks, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. This blood was a result of forcibly halting the flow of True Qi through his meridians.

One of the intruders was splattered with Xu Chunliang’s blood on his mask, making his vision all bloodied up and completely unclear.

Xu Chunliang snatched the knife from his hand and swung it at the other intruder, splitting the intruder’s mask in two to reveal a terrified face. The blade also cut through the center of this face, although it wasn’t a deep cut, it still bled profusely.

Xu Chunliang had never seen this person before, and with a flip of his wrist, he slammed the back of the knife onto the intruder’s head. The intruder couldn’t withstand such a heavy blow and fainted on the floor.

The other intruder wiped the blood mist from his mask with his sleeve, only to have his throat pinned by Xu Chunliang’s knife. With both hands raised, he dared not move an inch.

Xu Chunliang struck his acupoint, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and swiftly rushed downstairs. Tonight, it wasn’t just him at home; Hua Zhuyue and Su Qing were also there. If they were harmed because of him, it would be troublesome.

Xu Chunliang reached Su Qing’s room to find the two beauties had already subdued the intruder between them. The room was in disarray, reflecting the fierceness of the previous struggle.

Xu Chunliang hurriedly opened the window and gave each of them an antidote pill to take. The osmanthus fragrance in the air, known as August Honey, was a kind of Enchanting Fragrance. After inhalation, one would become weak and lose consciousness in large doses. This type of incense was commonly used by flower thieves in the Jianghu.

Su Qing suggested calling the police but saw there was still no signal on her phone.

Su Qing noticed something else: "Chunliang, did you spit blood?"

"No!" Xu Chunliang denied, his eyes never leaving Hua Zhuyue’s body as a nosebleed started again.

Hua Zhuyue was a bit concerned but also pleasantly surprised. So her body had such a devastating effect? She thought Xu Chunliang was indifferent, but there he was with a nosebleed.

Xu Chunliang was indeed attracted by Hua Zhuyue’s enchanting figure, but there was no necessary connection between his nosebleed and her alluring physique. The main cause was the interruption in his cultivation. Xu Chunliang forcibly halted his selfless state, which caused a severe strain on his meridians in transitioning back to a conscious state.

Xu Chunliang now felt a tearing pain in his Dantian, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Su Qing and Hua Zhuyue both noticed something was wrong, each supporting him from either side.

Xu Chunliang said, "I’m fine, just need to rest a bit." His right hand on Su Qing’s shoulder, left arm around Hua Zhuyue, enjoying the mix of pain and pleasure.

The two women didn’t resist, gently helping Xu Chunliang to the sofa to sit down. Hua Zhuyue said, "No rush to call the police, I reckon it won’t be long before someone negotiates with us."

Sure enough, Hua Zhuyue’s phone rang, and she put it on speaker.

A creepy voice came through: "Hua Zhuyue?"

Hua Zhuyue calmly responded, "Wu Yuanyi!"

"Those three are my men."

Hua Zhuyue coldly replied, "Why didn’t you dare to come yourself?" At this moment, she already fully understood that these people came for her, implicating Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang also remembered this name. When he and Hua Zhuyue went to the Shennong Chinese Medicine Planting Base in search of tiger bone, they were framed by this person.
