Chapter 305: Chapter 259: Immeasurable Virtue_1

Li Xuan, being inside the Jiang mansion, also sensed the ground shaking violently. However, the buildings in the Jiang mansion were all robust, even the surrounding walls did not collapse.

But the nearby residences were not so lucky. When Li Xuan climbed to a high point, he found that a large area around had collapsed. As soon as the earthquake subsided, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang immediately took action and organized the residents in their vicinity to clear the rubble from the collapsed houses.

Being the local leaders in the area and with Jiang Yunqi being a famed master in Nanjing City, esteemed and respected by all, it was their obligation to organize the disaster relief. Li Xuan also joined in with his ’Fumo Vajra’, which was a greatly enhanced version of an excavator and very useful.

Fortunately, most of the civilians in Nanjing City used wooden buildings, and brick-wood structures were mostly used by large houses. Hence, although a lot of houses collapsed and many people were injured, few lost their lives due to this.

About an hour later, the Liudao Division and the government started getting involved.

More than twenty Fumo Youjiaos, and over a hundred constables, along with Li Xuan, using the materials from the rubble, built temporary shoddy houses on the nearby vacant land to accommodate the victims who lost their homes.

The government also sent a stone of food to each family and brought out a lot of medicinal materials, claiming that it was courtesy of the Second Prince, who had ordered the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue’s granary to be opened. All the victims thus bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City, grateful for this kindness.

It was only by evening that Li Xuan and the others had managed to accommodate all the victims.

At this time, there was another slight tremor on the ground.

It must have been an aftershock- Li Xuan only felt a slight vibration in the ground. Although everyone was frightened for a while, the damage was minimal.

Over the next two days, there were four more such aftershocks. The tremors completely stopped only three days before the Xiao Mausoleum ceremony.

At this time, Li Xuan began to focus his attention on the ’Breaking Vajra’, taking about three days to etch his Real Intent of Thunder and his Great Rectitude Martial Intention into it.

Leng Yurou added a special array to the Fumo Vajra, allowing it to replicate and simulate the Wuyi of Li Xuan, its master.

—This was another benefit of replacing the power furnace. The previous Fumo Vajra simply didn’t have enough energy to support this energy-intensive array.

As everyone knows, the gap between a Wu cultivator with Wuyi and one without is immense, perhaps more than tenfold.

In this world, a person’s own power is like the water in a bucket—it’s finite. But Wuyi allowed people to mobilize the water from the surrounding rivers and lakes and use it for themselves.

The most direct comparison was that the previous Fumo Vajra could only withstand ten rounds against a fully charged Jiang Hanyun, but now it could last thirty rounds without any problem.

In these few days, Li Xuan’s Wuyi cultivation progressed rapidly.

This was all thanks to Jiang Yunqi’s guidance. This grandmaster, who had always been waiting for the magical instrument that Mr. and Mrs. Yue were refining for the breakthrough to the heavenly level, made use of his spare time to guide Li Xuan on his knife techniques and ice and thunder-style.

Jiang Yunqi’s cultivation of the ice and thunder-style had reached a level much higher than that of Li Chengji, and thus, significantly higher.

Li Xuan had a good understanding and was capable of extrapolating from what was taught. Moreover, being from the modern era, he knew learning methods like induction and summarization. No matter what Jiang Yunqi taught, he could quickly absorb and understand it.

Thus, after a few days, Jiang Yunqi frequently sighed to Mrs. Jiang: "About Xuan’s father, I really don’t know what to say."

Such a gem, buried in the dust for over ten years!

What delighted Jiang Yunqi even more was that Li Xuan also had a good talent in medicine.

Although he didn’t understand Yin and Yang differentiation diagnosis, he knew the human body well and understood everything Jiang Yunqi said. Several insights he occasionally shared opened up a new world for Jiang Yunqi.

"So, Xuan, you think that one main reason people cough, have a fever or get sick is due to these so-called viruses and bacteria?"

Holding the ’microscope’ that Li Xuan temporarily made with two pieces of crystal, Jiang Yunqi looked at the water in the bowl and felt as if he had opened the doors of perception.

The microscope that Li Xuan created using his primordial spirit’s sensory capacity could only magnify 87 times. It still couldn’t let people see bacteria or viruses ranging from 0.5-7μm in size, or even smaller viruses.

However, Jiang Yunqi himself being a powerful cultivator with excellent vision, directly made up for the gap.

"Interesting, really interesting! The buddha said that there are ten thousand and eight hundred insects in a bowl of water. It turns out there’s some truth to that. Xuan, how did you discover this?"

Jiang Yunqi was in awe, his eyes glittering.

He wasn’t so much surprised, because as a half-heavenly level holder who had reached the peak of the Fourth Gate over the years, he had a faint awareness of the microorganisms inside his body.

However, no matter what, a cultivator’s sensory abilities can never be as meticulous as a microscope.

The so-called ’micrology’ is only relative to ordinary people.

"As you said, uncle, considering the Buddha’s saying that there are ten thousand and eight hundred insects in a bowl of water, I took the time to validate it when I was little—"

Li Xuan casually lied, while handing over a piece of wood from a mulberry tree: "Not just bacteria and viruses; if you look closely at this piece of wood uncle, you can see many microscopic cavities, which I have named cells. Besides trees, all humans and living beings have them."

On one hand, he hoped that modern medical theories could spread through Jiang Yunqi, a grandmaster of this age; on the other hand, he wanted Jiang Yunqi to further improve his skills in Thunder Body Refinement.

Recently, he had found out that the body refinement technique passed down to Jiang Hanyun was quite crude and hadn’t been refined to the cellular level yet.

Li Xuan was definitely going to take the path of Thunder Body Refinement in the future, but rather than spending time researching it himself, he preferred to utilize the power of Jiang Yunqi.

The latter’s achievements in medicine and the strength of his senses far surpassed what he could achieve. However, his knowledge concerning the human body was slightly lacking, probably due to the limitations of this era.

"It really is!"

Jiang Yunqi’s expression was excited. If what Li Xuan said was true, his medical skills would break through on their current foundation, potentially benefiting the entire world.

"Xuan, do you realize the magnitude of your suggestion? You could save millions of lives in the future."

At this moment, Jiang Yunqi felt an indescribable urge.

He genuinely wanted to take this child under his wing, carefully teaching him and passing on his legacy.

His experience of mentoring Jiang Hanyun in the past had made him really happy. While she had an extraordinary physique that set her apart from her peers, her comprehension was only average.

While she was willing to make efforts in Martial Law, she was utterly clueless when it came to medicine, despite studying it for nearly two years. Teaching her was not enjoyable.

Young Xuan was different. No matter what he was taught, he would understand it immediately and was exceptionally quick on the uptake.

It was a pity he was too young. If his own daughter could be more helpful, they could both go fishing in the East Sea, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Li Xuan was unaware of the intensity in Jiang Yunqi’s gaze. He then brought out several lucent pieces of colored glaze, preparing to educate Jiang Yunqi on blood types using the Mixed-blood Technique.

But just as Li Xuan started speaking, "Then there’s blood type—" a servant from the Jiang household came hurrying in.

"Master, young master, Miss Xue and Miss Yue have come to visit together. The lady asks you to come over quickly."

Jiang Yunqi was slightly surprised, wondering why his wife was suddenly so generous as to let young Xue Yunrou enter their home.

Li Xuan, however, furrowed his brows and quickly headed off to the great hall of the Jiang house.

He had been visiting the Xue house for the past two days. On one hand, he had secret meetings with Xue Yunrou, on the other, he was observing her progress in unraveling the array.

When Li Xuan came back yesterday, Xue Yunrou had mentioned to him that she might be able to figure out the function of the altar within a day to three days at the most—could it be?

When Li Xuan hurried into the great hall, he saw Xue Yunrou and Yue Qianqian sitting with grave expressions at the lower end of Lady Jiang’s table.

As soon as she saw Li Xuan, Xue Yunrou stood up: "Xuan, the altar at Jiangjun Mountain, besides its function for refining Evil Corpses, also has the ability to tap into the Dragon Vein of Nanjing! It also has the functions of a ’Cosmic Swap’ and ’Reversing the Universe’."

"Dragon Vein?"

Li Xuan was taken aback, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the array diagram handed to him by Xue Yunrou.

"Why involve the Dragon Vein if the corpse serves the purpose? And what do these ’Cosmic Swap’ and ’Reversing the Universe’ entail?"

"We still don’t understand this part. The array is severely damaged. This is the most we can restore at the moment. We will need more time to figure out their purpose. Regarding the Dragon Vein—"

Xue Yunrou furrowed her eyebrows: "It is likely used to fortify the Evil Corpse, reducing the difficulty of transforming it from yin to yang."

Li Xuan thought to himself, how is this altar that can extract Dragon Qi and refine the Evil Corpse, connected with the Red Robed woman?

"So technically speaking, this Evil Corpse must have the royal blood of all past dynasties, to be able to bear the Dragon Qi. The more recent the dynasty, the better. Should the corpse be from the Jin dynasty, then any royal child or grandchild within the three degrees of kinship would do. For former Yuan and former Zhao dynasties, it would need to be a prince or princess of direct descent. For dynasties earlier than these, it would need to be a County Prince, or even those with a higher title. Moreover, the period of death can’t be too far in the past."

Yue Qianqian quietly said, "I think, we should go to the Liudao Division to see the Evil Corpse sealed in Zhenyao Tower. This may benefit our subsequent deductions. But, I and Sister Yunrou, we don’t have the authority for this."

Li Xuan frowned and then asked Lady Jiang: "Is the Xaowei not home?"

"She went to Xiao Mausoleum this morning."

Lady Jiang shook her head: "Did you forget, Xuan? Today is the grand ceremony at Xiao Mausoleum. Mingyou City is in charge of the interior of the mausoleum, so Hanyun had to stay there beforehand."

Li Xuan had indeed forgotten. He had been occupied with learning from Jiang Yunqi, and going to Xue’s mansion for secret meetings with Yunrou, that he had barely paid attention to the affairs of Zhuque Hall.

"Then, I will need to borrow an Earth Dragon from you, Aunt."

As Li Xuan spoke, he also released a communication spirit talisman.

This was for contacting Qiu Qianqiu. Originally, he wanted to invite Jiang Hanyun along, and having her along would make handling the formalities much simpler.

Since Jiang Hanyun was not here, he had to take matters into his own hands.

Luckily, he had someone behind him. By the time the three of them reached Zhenyao Tower, Qiu Qianqiu should have already sent him the permission order.
