Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 288

288 – My friend, Little Black!

Ouyang Buping carefully treated Bai Yuanxing’s injuries . From Dugu Quan, he obtained three [Xuanshen Pill] . When it was crushed and placed with warm water into Bai Yuanxing’s mouth, it would boost his vitality and maintain his blood qi . He even used acupuncture . Utilising several blocked acupuncture points on his head, with the power of his golden yuan qi needles, he was able to take care of the last remnants of the destructive power of the space thunder that remained .

Such a process took an entire four hours .

After such a treatment had ended, even someone like the [White Browed divine doctor], Ouyang Buping was sweating .

But the effect was miraculous .

As the last golden needle was removed from the acupuncture point on Bai Yuanxing’s forehead, one could see that Bai Yuanxing’s complexion gradually reddened . His breathing became stable, and the surrounding deathly grey aura around his face quickly disappeared . There was an unprecedented vitality about him .

“Thank you brother Ouyang . ” Ye Qingyu said his thanks .

“Little Ye, you are too courteous . . . En, these days you are in the spotlight, so you should be very busy . I won’t bother you… . oh, that’s right, I will return tomorrow to the Capital along with old man Dugu . Tonight the old man will host a feast at the Hundred herb hall . Us three should use this opportunity to have a good meet up . I think it will be a period of time before we meet again . ”

Ouyang Buping clasped his hands and bid farewell .

“I will definitely come . I’ll see you off . ” Ye Qingyu promised .

Ye Qingyu only returned after seeing him away from the Vanguard .

He was clear in his heart, just how great a favour had just been done . With the position Ouyang Buping possessed had within the Empire, even if the Imperial family wanted him to treat them, they needed to expend some effort . This time he had travelled thousands of miles to Youyan pass to help Bai Yuanxing and spent such a great amount of effort . All to heal a youth with mediocre talent . This was all partly due to Dugu Quan’s connections and the other was to make an early investment in Ye Qingyu .

Thinking it over, the greatest possibility as to why he did such a thing was that the ancient characters he had given Dugu Quan had also stunned Ouyang Buping .

No matter what, this time he owed the [White Browed divine doctor] Ouyang Buping a great favour . Ye Qingyu must repay him the future .

That was the most that could be done regarding Bai Yuanxing’s wounds .

He was able to preserve his life, but he had lost both his eyes . His eyesight could not recover—-unless there was a day his cultivation ascended to the heavens and he attained the Heaven Ascension stage . At that time, his flesh would be reborn, and any broken limbs would regrow . As long as his spirit was intact, he could be reborn indefinitely . His eyes naturally could be grown back with just a thought .

It was only that with Bai Yuanxing’s talent, to attain such a stage was nigh impossible .

“When Bai Yuanxing wakes up, just what should I tell him?”

Ye Qingyu could not help but grow anxious as he thought of this . Right now, he could only hope that Bai Yuanxing’s heart could endure and his will was strong enough that he could withstand such an impact . Fate, may have been too cruel to this youth who bitterly struggled to carry out the wishes of his father and ancestors .

……

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed .

That night, Ye Qingyu went to Hundred Herb Hall and talked with Dugu Quan and Ouyang Buping for a whole night . He obtained an even more in depth understanding of the current situation of the Empire and also had a comprehensive and deep overview of the Pill and Medical arts .

During the course of the feast, Ouyang Buping kept expressing his desire to meet Li Shizen . But it was a pity the old doctor could not be found . It was said that Li Shizen had followed a small number of troops to carry out a mission so they could not meet, making the [White Browed divine doctor] sigh with regret .

For the [Pill God] and [Divine Doctor] to leave so hastily, Ye Qingyu guessed that something must have happened in the Capital .

As for Li Shizen…

Ye Qingyu faintly felt, that this mysterious old doctor had deliberate avoided meeting with Ouyang Buping . Ye Qingyu did not pay anymore attention to the matter of the [Mysterious Heaven pellet] afterwards because he was sure that Li Shizen did not have malicious intentions towards him . If he was not willing to expand further, then Ye Qingyu would not force him to reveal anything .

After all, everyone had a past they did not want others to bring up . Ye Qingyu did not want this matter to affect the friendship between him and Li Shizen .

Time flowed by .

The people of the sects in Youyan pass had lessened by more than half .

The defeat of the Three Schools and Three sects, and the strong stance the Youyan army had taken after the martial alliance meeting, had made many Jianghu people who came here to gain benefits to leave hastily . It caused the number of people of the sects in the Pass to decrease greatly, and also made the Pass much more peaceful . It seemed to have recovered to the disciplined, calm but also tense atmosphere of the past .

Those who really wanted to enter into the army through the call of the Empire, was still here . Those that wanted to polish their martial way on the battlefield, those that wanted to gain success on the battlefield, those hot blooded warriors still remained in the Pass

The task of allocating the Jianghu people, fell on the hands of the [Painting saint] Liu Yuqing .

It was said that those people were all allocated to the newly made [Fury Camp] and as such, they became one of the strongest camps in terms of battle power in the entire Youyan army . It was only that their discipline and formation was a bit rough . The individualities of the people of the Jianghu could not be gotten rid of so quickly . The War God of Youyan Pass, Lu Zhaoge would not place the [Fury Camp] into the battle field so quickly .

As for the Ye Congyun who became the successor of the War God, he appeared many times in front of the Youyan army . Since Lu Zhaoge had the intention of making Ye Congyun as his successor, apart from giving him instructions in cultivation, ways of war, strategy and leadership, he naturally also had to gradually familiarise him with the matters in Youyan Pass .

Therefore Ye Congyun became the centre of attention in Yoyan pass .

As for the person who sliced apart the grand dreams of the Three Schools and Three sects in the martial allice meeting, he was not seen for a long period of time .

Ever since the White Horse tower collapsed, others were unaware of just where Ye Qingyu was .

After all, apart from the Vanguard, no one saw him in the city .

One day, after Ye Qingyu left closed isolation training, Jin Ling’er quickly came to report that Bai Yuanxing had awakened .

When Ye Qingyu hurried to the tent, Bai Yuanxing was silently sitting by the bedside .

The light in the large tent was completely dark .

The skinny youth silently sat by the bedside, like he was a doll .

His eyes were still covered by a white cloth, and his body was thin and weak . Ye Qingyu could not help but feel sadness at seeing him in such a state .

Every since arriving in Youyan pass half a year ago, Bai Yuanxing became the first true subordinate of Ye Qingyu . The personality of the White Horse Youth was determined, cautious and willing to accept hardship . He had always did things for Ye Qingyu to his utmost . Since Ye Qingyu had soared into the heavens, he had wanted to also assist Bai Yuanxing to succeed . But right now…

Perhaps it was because he heard Jin Ling’er’s footsteps, Bai Yuanxing’s ears twitched, looking in their direction: “Ling’er… . has the Marquis come?”

“Little Bai, how do you feel?” Ye Qingyu maintained his composure, trying his best to make his tone as calm as possible . “

“I pay my respects to Marquis . ” Bai Yuanxing quickly rushed to bow .

“You are still injured, there is no need… . . ” Ye Qingyu smiled and assisted him, pretending to speak in a unworried tone: “Just rest well . When you have recovered a little, I will think of a method to treat your eyes… . ”

Bai Yuanxing’s expression was calm . “Thank you Marquis . But Officer Wen has already told everything to me . I know that my eyes cannot be healed, there is no need to console me, I can endure the truth . ”

Ye Qingyu was taken aback .

That bastard Wen Wan, how could he be so ridiculous recently .

As he thought of this, there was a voice that came from outside . “Hahaha, little Bai, are you hungry right now? I’ve told Mother Wu to make a stew of dog meat, this thing is the most nourishing . Eat as much as you want, even though your eyes are gone, but you still need to eat . Don’t worry too much, even if you are blind, you can still cultivate… . ”

Wen Wan carried a steaming hot porcelain pot .

There was a fragrance of dog meat emanating from the porcelain pot .

After lifting the canvas of the entrance, and seeing the situation inside the tent, Wen Wan hesitated . Seeing Ye Qingyu’s gaze that was like a blade, he instantly realised something, and muttered: “Ah… . . sorry, I’ve gotten lost . You guys talk amongst yourself… . ”

As he said this, he turned to leave quickly .

At this time, another angry and infuriated voice sounded out again: “Woof, mad man Wen, what are you holding in your hands? Is that my friend Little Black? I’ve just made an interesting friend, how can it be that after I brought him to the Vanguard, she’s disappeared in the blink of an eye?”

“What? Are you talking about the black coloured little bitch dog? I haven’t seen it . Perhaps it’s because it didn’t want to be friends with you, and left already…” Wen Wan said in a deliberately misleading manner, saying one thing but meaning the other .

“Woof, is it really so? But why did I see black dog skin at the entrance to Mother Wu’s kitchen . I’ve asked the nearby soldiers, they said two hours ago, you asked Mother Wu to make dog meat stew . Could you have… . ” Little Nine stopped and interrogated Wen Wan at the entrance .

“Which bastard soldier is spreading lies about me? Bring him over so I can question him about it . Hmph, I’ll make him… . ” Wen Wan cursed, then chuckled to Little Nine . “You must be mistaken . I saw with my own eyes that little female dog run off and leave the Vanguard camp . ”

“Really? Fine, I’ll believe you . ” Little Nine said suspiciously , then sniffed . “Hey, what are you holding in your hands? It smells so nice, let me try… . ”

“Er, this… . . ” Wen Wan was guilty and stuttered . Ultimately he could only hand the bowl of dog stew to Little Nine .

After a while .

They could see Little Nine entering from the outside the tent .

This fellow was carrying the porcelain pot, his tail wagging like a fan . Saying in a overjoyed tone, “Little Bai, I’ve heard you’ve woken up . That’s too great, as a person you can’t dwell too much . Don’t worry about being blind . After all since you’re normally so dumb and stupid, there’s practically no difference after you became blind . As long as you are still alive, you can still eat and drink . Look, I’ve robbed something good for you to eat, we can eat together… . ”

As he finished, he saw Ye Qingyu within the tent .

“I’ve seen a ghost, I evidently didn’t sense your aura… . . ” The silly dog yelled .

Ye Qingyu glared at him coldly .

The tail of the silly dog froze, and hesitated . Saying slowly, “Did I say something wrong, I meant… . . I didn’t mean you are a ghost, I meant… . En, that’s right, your strength must have increased that I can’t even detect your aura anymore…woof, woof , that’s right, that’s what I meant!”

Ye Qingyu was completely made speechless by these two living treasures .
