The City of Terror

After obtaining Zhao Yun’s permission, Wei Xiao Bei immediately grasped Zhao Yun’s wrist and began to feel the pulse.

Wei Xiao Bei was stunned when he felt it the first time.

Compared to the conditional pulse of normal people, Zhao Yun’s had simply reached the peak of power. In between pulses, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if he was about to let go. Only a few seconds had passed and he already felt numb and could not feel anything.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei’s [Medicine] had already reached perfection, he might not be on the level of genius doctors like Hua Tuo or Bian Que, there should be no problem for him with feeling pulses.

In less than ten seconds, Wei Xiao Bei tucked his finger into his sleeves and rubbed it.

“Big brother’s pulse is incredibly powerful. You have gained my admiration. However, there is a faint stirring from time to time that I could not understand.”

Wei Xiao Bei immediately explained his findings.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun’s next actions had stunned him.

“Little brother take a look.”

Zhao Yun had undone his Chinese gown. What appeared in front of Wei Xiao Bei was a strong yet fair body.

The only problem was that there was a bowl-sized hole in the ribs. In it, there was a golden flame that was currently burning with intense heat.

“This is?”

Wei Xiao Bei was truly stunned.

In terms of endurance, Wei Xiao Bei felt that he was already amazing. However, Zhao Yun had a bowl-sized hole that burned with golden flames. It was easy to imagine how much pain this brought, but there was not a single drop of sweat on Zhao Yun’s forehead at all.

“This is the injury left behind by the Golden Crow.”

It was easy to imagine how powerful the Golden Crow’s child was. It had left behind a wound on Zhao Yun’s body. Moreover, Zhao Yun was unable to purge it even with his strength.

Wei Xiao Bei’s [Status Appraisal] landed on the wound. Afterward, information on the golden flame appeared in his mind.

Name: True Sunfire

Description: This is a special flame that runs through the Golden Crow’s body. Inextinguishable by water or dirt. Capable of restraining a thousand evils. The true fire of the sun, of the stars.

….

The description was simple, but Wei Xiao Bei was a bit shocked.

This was already not flames from the secular world.

“Brother, please endure a bit.”

Wei Xiao Bei attempted to touch the wound to see how strong the fire was, but he was stopped by Zhao Yun.

Afterward, Zhao Yun pulled out the ring sword on his waist and lightly poked the wound. A strand of golden flame immediately landed on the blade.

However, the next matter made Wei Xiao Bei rejoice that he had been stopped by Zhao Yun.

When the golden flame landed on the sword, it was like a star landing on gasoline. The flames suddenly rose up and the blade of the sword burnt incredibly red. In the end, the sword became molten iron that dripped to the ground.

Even when the molten iron dripped on the ground, it was still burning. Only when Zhao Yun sent out a palm strike, causing white gas to cover it, did the flames stop burning.

“I can strike a palm to extinguish flames of that size. However, the flame on my wound did not decrease or increase at all, giving me no choice. Luckily, the Golden Crow’s child is also injured and will not recover in a short time.

Saying this, Zhao Yun felt a headache at the situation.

Wei Xiao Bei also understood that with such a wound, the power one held would be negatively influenced.

In the Dust World, there were many different kinds of opponents. Zhao Yun was someone that guarded this place and temporarily could not leave. It was easy to imagine that once the Golden Crow’s child recovers, it would come back for revenge. Even if it did not come for revenge, there were still countless other monsters that would be attracted to the Phoenix’s corpse.

Thinking about it, Wei Xiao Bei grits his teeth and sinks his consciousness to speak with Ge Da Tian’s clone who was hiding inside his body.

“Big brother, wait a moment.”

Wei Xiao Bei told Zhao Yun first so that when Ge Da Tian’s clone comes out, Zhao Yun would not think that some kind of ghost had appeared.

Afterward, Zhao Yun amazedly looked on as a cloud of fog appeared from Wei Xiao Bei’s body, becoming an elderly man wearing official clothes.

“Day Merit Evaluator Ge Da Tian greets the Marquis of Yongchang Village!”

When Wei Xiao Bei was about to greet Ge Da Tian’s clone, who knew that it would come out and pay its respects to Zhao Yun first. The clone appeared to be very respectful which stunned Wei Xiao Bei.

“Honored God, no need to be too polite.” Zhao Yun did not find the appearance of Ge Da Tian strange at all. Moreover, it appeared that he knew Ge Da Tian’s identity.

Although Wei Xiao Bei was amazed, he did not pursue the matter. He was only concerned over Zhao Yun’s wound and asked Ge Da Tian to take a look to see if there was a way to deal with it.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei admitted that although his [Medicine] had reached perfection, dealing with Zhao Yun’s injury was impossible for him.

Ge Da Tian’s clone hesitated and immediately said, “This old man is only a clone. It’s more appropriate to call the main body. Luckily, the main body is patrolling not far from here.”

After saying this, Ge Da Tian immediately closed his eyes as his entire body appeared as if it was about to disappear. When he opened his eyes, he smiled, “The main body will quickly come over. I will take my leave first.”

After saying this, Ge Da Tian’s clone once again became smoke and merged back into Wei Xiao Bei’s body, disappearing.

After ten minutes, a fog entered the tent and became Ge Da Tian.

After greeting Zhao Yun, Ge Da Tian asked him to remove his clothes and inspected the injury. Then he frowned and shook his head, “Please forgive me Marquis of Yongchang Village. I am incapable of doing anything for this injury.”

“Incapable? But you are a day merit evaluator!”

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but jump at the thought that this god could not even do anything for such a minor thing.

“Cough, cough. Day merit evaluators are not experts in medicine. Everybody knows about it. However, Sir Marquis’ injury should be left to Brother Wei.”

Ge Da Tian was a bit embarrassed by Wei Xiao Bei’s words. After all, they had made a life and death oath, making him a bit embarrassed. However, he turned the words back towards Wei Xiao Bei.

“Me?” Wei Xiao Bei opened his mouth.

“That’s right. Moreover, Brother Wei could deal with this injury in more ways than one.”

At this time, Ge Da Tian gained back the authority of the initiative and felt a lot better. He smiled without saying anything else to Wei Xiao Bei.

“Please tell us honored god.”

Wei Xiao Bei’s expression immediately collapsed as the payback came too fast. He had just been ridiculing him, and in the end, things were in a stalemate. However, he couldn’t just heal Zhao Yun’s injury for his face. Thus, Wei Xiao Bei could only ask for guidance.

Ge Da Tian did not continue to make things difficult for Wei Xiao Bei and pointed things out for him, “Brother Wei’s body’s Life Altar is one way, but it is still a fledgling that could not eat True Sun Fire.”

Hearing Ge Da Tian’s words, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but secretly curse as the old man began to keep him in suspense again.

What is the point in saying useless methods?

“The second way is to go to Bai Ta Hills. Bai Ta Hills are full of healing experts. If Brother Wei drops by and asks, then there is a chance.”

After saying these words, Ge Da Tian did not stop any longer. He said that he had official business and left. He did not even say any more to Wei Xiao Bei.

Although Ge Da Tian’s methods were unrealistic, it had still given Wei Xiao Bei some direction.

“Big brother, since things are like this, I can go and inquire at Bai Ta Hills.”

Wei Xiao Bei said this and prepared to leave. He also knew that the Life Altar would take who knows how long to evolve. Now, it still hadn’t even finished eating the Anagami Finger Bone. Its speed was so slow, that Wei Xiao Bei had given up on it.

Thus, the remaining method is the Bai Ta Hill method.

“Little brother, don’t rush. You don’t need to worry about this injury for a while. After leaving this place, coming back is not simple and would require at least a week.”

Zhao Yun was not in a rush and pulled Wei Xiao Bei back.

He had not even imparted the matter that he needed Wei Xiao Bei’s help with yet.

In the next period of time, Wei Xiao Bei noticed the benefits of the valley.

His mental consumption was several times lower. Just like that, he could stay here longer than any other place in the Dust World.

Zhao Yun would do what he said. According to the time in the valley, it was the afternoon. He had brought Wei Xiao Bei to the drill grounds.

At this moment, some officials were leading the soldiers in a drill. Additionally, some soldiers were sparring in close combat.

Zhao Yun let Zhao Guang teach Wei Xiao Bei how to ride a horse.

Zhao Guang’s teaching was not just how to ride a horse, but how to kill while on top of a horse.

In other words, this riding technique was a lot stronger than other riding techniques.

Wei Xiao Bei was able to understand the basics in just half an hour. It was naturally impossible for him to immediately be proficient, but at the very least, the previous occurrence of falling off should not happen anymore. Moreover, he could brandish the great spear without any disturbances.

At this point, Zhao Yun had Wei Xiao Bei get on a horse, and the both of them began to fight in close quarters with wooden rods.

Zhao Yun’s way of teaching was not the holding hands type of teaching.

Using Zhao Yun’s words, he already has the appropriate foundation. You should refine it in a real battle and evolve your martial arts!’

After one afternoon passed, Wei Xiao Bei was lying on the ground without any intention to move.

If the hellish training plan that Wei Xiao Bei drew up for Zhu Xin Yi was tiring to the point of painful, then Zhao Yun’s afternoon training would make Wei Xiao Bei lose confidence in his spear techniques.

It was only a normal wooden stick. However, one stab at Wei Xiao Bei had been enough to send him flying down from the horse like a scarecrow.
