“When you’re younger, it won’t be clear, but when you’re older or perhaps when your water attribute is promoted, you may find it hard to even walk.”

Anxious, the disciple immediately asked, “Xi gongzi, are there anyways to help me?”

“That is very easy.” Hexi faintly smiled, “All you have to do is gather cassia twig, achyranthes root, earthworm, qin nai, rhizoma atractylodis, and immortal spirit. Then, boil all of these ingredients until it becomes medicinal juice, it’s best if you have someone whose an expert in the fire attribute to come do this for you. Then, each time you practice your water attribute, spread it onto the afflicted areas. After a long time, the dampness in your joints will be removed and you won’t feel pain anymore.”

When the disciple heard her orders, he felt overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Hexi.

Hexi’s response caused the rest of Qing Xia Sect’s disciples to be unable to wait anymore, at once, they all started asking her questions.

“Xi gongzi, after my daily meditation, my chest always hurts and I feel nauseous, do you know why this could be happening?”

“Xi gongzi, I have an old father whose now fifty-three. A few years prior, his body was well, but these past two years, he frequently feels dizzy and sleepy, do you know why this…”

“Xi gongzi… Xi gongzi…”

Shen Sen looked at the group of youngsters surrounding Hexi and intimately calling out her name and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

However, what left him the most amazed at was that these disciples questions were of all sorts of problems, and each one was odd and suspicious. Even their Qing Xia Sect’s fourth ranked doctors weren’t able to cure them. However, this youth in front of him, which looked nothing more than sixteen or seventeen years old, was able to answer each one that came her way. 

The youth’s voice was mild and elegant, and he spoke clearly. His black and white eyes were clear and calm, causing people to inexplicably want to trust him.

He was such a remarkable man, no wonder Chuo’er would be so captivated and think of him so much.

Although his cultivation was still quite low, he was still young. And if they were going to compare minds, his beat Chuo’er’s many times over. If you think about it a little, it’ll one day shine.

Shen Sen cast a glance at his niece and saw that her eyes were glued onto Xi gongzi’s figure. Her expression contained shyness and cowardice, when he saw this, he couldn’t help but tease, “I say, Chuo’er, isn’t this the sweetheart you missed and longed for over these few months and days? Now that you’ve finally met again, why aren’t you going up and speaking to him?”

Shen Qingchuo shyly buried her face in her hands and mumbled, “Xiao shushu, how could you say such nonsense? What sweetheart? If Xi gongzi hears of this, I’ll lose so much face ah!”

Shen Sen burst out in laughter. By now, the group had already reached their destination.

Shen Sen and the rest of them handed over their invitation to the guard, who immediately turned respectful upon seeing it. Soon after, he nodded his head and another guard appeared. His head was bent and he lead them to their seats of honor. 

Hexi was the last one to hand over her invitation card. The guard in charge of checking over the invitations was originally carelessly doing so, but his expression soon turned grave. He held her invitation in his hand and refused to hand it back to Hexi.

“Is there a problem with my invitation?”

The guard looked at Hexi then turned to look at Shen Sen and everyone else waiting for her and hesitation appeared on his face.

His eyes immediately turned back to her and he laughed, “Gongzi’s invitation card has a problem, I need someone to come verify it for me. Asking gongzi to please wait a moment.”

After saying this, the guard secretly motioned to his companions before quickly exiting.

Those guards’ manners looked unconscious, but they quickly formed a semicircle around her, stopping her from exiting the lobby.

KOH Chapter 499

Chapter 499 Journeying With Qing Xia Sect

[2/3] chapter generously sponsored by mara ♥

The man cast a glance at Shen Qingchuo before looking away and slowly walking forward before stopping in front of Hexi. He extended his hand out and introduced himself, “I* am Qing Xia Sect’s Shen Sen. Many thanks to you** for saving Chuo’er’s life in Sealed Dragon Domain. I still haven’t asked, what is gongzi’s name?”

Hexi calmly extended her hand out and grasped his, “I* am Xi Yue.”

After seeing him, Shen Sen was immediately filled with more respect for this youngster.

Not only was he respectful because he saved Shen Qingchuo’s life, but he saw that he was a mere Foundation Establishment stage, yet when he faced him, he emitted a pressure that was neither servile nor overbearing, and it was completely calm.

Moreover, Qing Xia Sect was one of the four largest sects in Miluo Continent and Chuo’er’s identity within the sect was special. However, he showed no signs of wanting to curry favor.

When Shen Qingchuo heard Hexi introduce herself, she mulled over the two characters “Xi Yue” for a few moments.

She sneaked a glance at the youth in front of her. He was quiet, elegant, and outstanding. He was clear and bright, similar to the moonlight, and he surpassed the sky and mountain’s snow.

This type of person, hadn’t appeared before, even in Shen Qingchuo’s fantasies.

Moreover, he was so brave and powerful, he had saved her from her nightmare in Hell.

When Shen Qingchuo thought of this, her face turned a shade redder and she lowered her gaze, not daring to look at Hexi any longer.

She tugged at Shen Sen’s sleeve and lowered her head, and occasionally, she glanced up at Hexi. Her voice was that of a mosquito’s as she said, “Has Xi gongzi come to participate in the hunting competition?”

“That’s right.”

“Then… I… My fellow students and I have also come to participate.” Shen Qingchuo’s voice was filled with expectations as she suggested, “It would be better if we went together to the sign-up place. If… If the number we pull out are close, perhaps we’ll be set to nearby positions.”

To enter the Breaking Spirit Mountain, you had to go into the teleporting array in the order that you drew your number. However, where you teleported was completely random. Therefore, there wasn’t anything such as being sent to closer positions just because the numbers they drew were close.

Shen Sen lowly coughed and held back his smile, but he didn’t go to expose his family’s niece’s thoughts, “Xi gongzi, if you haven’t come with a sect, it would be better if you go with us to the meeting place, wouldn’t it?”

Hexi didn’t hesitate to nod her head. Rather than going alone, it would be better if she went with Qing Xia Sect, which would save her many inconveniences along the way.

So, together, the few people avoided the crowds and walked to the nearby residence.

Although the road there wasn’t long, it still allowed Shen Sen’s impression of this youth named Xi Yue to become better and better.

He was elegant, his voice was pleasant, and when he spoke, his words were neither servile nor overbearing. There wasn’t the slightest hint of a loose, low level cultivator who felt inferior or bitter.

Moreover, Shen Sen had originally planned to talk to him about cultivation and kindly point some things out to him.

However, who could’ve known that Xi Yue’s knowledge of cultivation, dantian’s, and meridians would even be beneficial to him.

As for the disciples following behind Shen Sen, they were currently swarming Xi Yue and incessantly asking questions, completely forgetting that Xi Yue was a low-level Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

“Xi gongzi, why do my knees feel slightly sluggish whenever I practice the basics of my water attribute? Not only that, the higher my cultivation becomes, the more that sluggish feeling in my knee turns to pain.”

Hexi cast a glance at the young disciple, she observed his color and also used her spiritual power to look over his knee, before she slowly said, “Your constitution leans more toward Yin and coldness and the water attribute is classified as negative, so once you practice it, your yin and cold air will become congested in your joints.”

*In the raws, he refers to himself as 在下 (zài xià), which is a humble way of referring to oneself
**In the raws, he calls Hexi 阁下 (gé xià) which can be translated as ‘your distinguished self’ or ‘your excellency’

Chapter 498 Meeting Shen Qingchuo Again

[1/3] chapter generously sponsored by mara ♥

Three days later, Hexi arrived at Jin Ling’s imperial family’s temporary residence at Breaking Soul Mountain.

The residence was enormous and decorated splendidly, presenting a dazzling sight to all who beheld it, that is, except for martial artists. To martial artists, all this couldn’t meet the eyes of an immortal cultivator.

Just having arrived, Hexi was just about to pull out her invitation card, but she was interrupted by the sound of a woman’s surprised voice, “Gong… Gongzi?!”

Surprised, Hexi turned around and came face-to-face with an elegant and beautiful young lady.

The young lady’s appearance was seemed familiar, but no matter how long Hexi pondered over it, she couldn’t recall where she had seen her.

“Gongzi, it’s really you?!” The young girl’s face was filled with satisfaction and she lightly ran over, “Thanking gongzi for saving my life last time. Has gongzi fared well after leaving Sealed Dragon Domain’s Secret Territory?”

Saved her life?! Sealed Dragon Domain’s Secret Territory?!

Once the young girl’s words were out, Hexi immediately remembered her, “You’re… Shen Qingchuo?”

Hexi had always possessed the ability to remember everyone she met, but at the time, the young girl was such a sorry figure, a complete contrast to her now, as she was wearing magnificent clothes, so the Hexi didn’t immediately connect the two.

Shen Qingchuo was extremely surprised, each time she spoke, her voice quivered, “Gongzi, I never thought you would actually remember me… I… I engraved the memory of gongzi saving me, I haven’t forgotten it since.”

The young lady’s face was bright red and her voice was quivering and quiet, like that of a tiny fly.

Her entire person looked like a flower that had been touched by dew. She emitted a shy aura and her eyes were sincere and clear.

In response, Hexi’s tone unconsciously softened by several degrees when she saw her, “It was merely a slight effort, Young Lady Shen, there’s no need to be so troubled.”

Shen Qingchuo immediately wanted to refute those words. That wasn’t a mere effort, it was a life-saving grace that she had etched into her memory.

But before she could even speak, a male’s soft voice sounded out from behind her back, “Chuo’er, is this your new friend?”

When Shen Qingchuo heard that voice, she immediately turned around and affectionately called out, “Xiao shu [1], this is the person I spoke to you about, the gongzi who saved me in Sealed Dragon Domain. If it weren’t for her, Chuo’er would’ve long died in that mist and I wouldn’t be able to see xiao shu and yeye [2] anymore.”

Hexi raised her head to size up the newcomer. All she saw was a man that looked to be about twenty seven or eight years old. He looked to be cultured and refined, but when she sensed that his cultivation had, terrifyingly, already reached the middle of Nascent Soul stage.

And standing behind him were a couple disciples, each of whom were wearing cyan colored clothes. Most of these disciples were already at a high level of Gold Core and Meridians stage.

When the man heard Shen Qingchuo’s words, he reached a shaking hand out and rested it atop her head. With unhappiness coating his voice, he said, “You still have the nerve to speak of that. That day, we urged you not to go, we told you that Sealed Dragon Domain’s border was extremely dangerous and didn’t want you to follow your senior male and female students there. But you? Not only do you not listen, you actually even colluded with younger students to run away from the group and sneakily run to the Secret Territory.”

“Fortunately there was someone to save you, otherwise, if your yeye came to know that your body was in Jin Ling country, he would’ve wreaked havoc on Jin Ling country. If you continue to disobey us, we’ll lock you up on Qing Xia Mountain for a hundred years. You’ll have to cultivate everyday and you won’t be able to come down!”

When Shen Qingchuo heard his threat, her face immediately showed suffering and she grabbed onto his sleeve and looked up at him with pleading eyes, “Xiao shushu, I already know my wrongs, don’t scold me okay? Especially not… In front of gongzi’s face, can’t you leave me some face ah?”

[1] xiao shu – her paternal uncle
[2] yeye – paternal grandfather

KOH Chapter 497

Chapter 497 Breaking Spirit Mountain

[1/1] chapter generously sponsored by anonymous ♥

Her self-disciple wasn’t only from training for ten days in the sword fight, it was also due to what happened after her Elder Jiang. Once again, she had a taste of her Maha Inheritance. Even though her cultivation hadn’t raised by much, her cultivation and actual fighting skills were much stronger than before.

Gu Liufeng released a breath and said, “Now, if you go to the hunting competition and there aren’t any major mishaps, nobody will be able to threaten you.”

“You guys were the one with groundless fears in the first place.” Hexi softly smiled and retorted, “I’ll go inside to wash up first, this afternoon, I plan to set out to Breaking Spirit Mountain.”

Breaking Spirit Mountain, as the name implied, was a place that ordinary people couldn’t enter and return from. 

Breaking Spirit Mountain is a mountain range that stretches thousands of kilometers from south to north. Running across all three countries, it was a mountain range far more vast than Cang Mountain.

Breaking Spirit Mountain’s highest point was located in the middle of Jin Ling country. There, thick fog swirled around the mountain, all year and there were countless magic beasts that called the mountain home. The ranks of the magic beasts there were quite high, it could be said to be second only to those in the Magic Beast Forest.

Moreover, most of the magic beasts in Breaking Spirit Mountain had lost all rationality, they were completely savage. The magic beasts were cunning and treacherous in a completely different way than the ones in the Magic Beast Forest. The magic beasts residing here were even able to take the shape of a human, so normally, few people would willingly step onto the mountain.

However, because of how savage the magical beasts were, they would even occasionally come off the mountain to harm people. Therefore, the Elders from the four biggest influential families and the largest sects created a large array to prevent the magical beasts from coming down and prevent others from entering.

Afterwards, the four biggest sects suddenly opened up a relatively safe location at the top of the mountain one year. Inside, there were numerous magical beasts at sixth rank and lower which could be hunted, and any other magical beasts weren’t drawn to the location.

Every four years, a hunting competition would take place and everyone participating would be sent to this location via a teleportation array. Once they arrived, they would all kill the magical beasts. Every time they killed a magical beast, they would need to obtain their inner core. This way, they would earn points. Whomever ended up with the most points would be declared the champion of that year’s competition.

The more they held this competition, the more Miluo Continent buzzed about it, so naturally, there were more and more martial artists competing each year. 

This was because, not only would you obtain good achievements during the big hunting competition, you would also earn many of the large sects’ interest.

As for the elite disciples of the large sects, if they were able to perform exceptionally well, they would be able to receive great honor within the sect, earning them much more rewards and resources. 

Jin Ling country is actually a very small country, so for the hunting competition to be held here was merely based on the geographical location of Breaking Spirit Mountain.

Therefore, regardless of whether it was a sect or the imperial family handling the event, they would each treat it as a major event. And the people of Jin Ling country who were able to receive an invitation were very few and far between.

After saying this, Hexi began walking inside the room. But, who knew that Wu Xin’s figure would suddenly flash and come forth.

Without waiting for Hexi to say anything, he stuffed the things in his hands toward Hexi’s and in a lowered voice, he said, “Wangfei, while you’re participating in the hunting competition, please wear this. During a crucial point, perhaps it can help you pass it.”

While saying these words, Wu Xin’s face seemed unsightly, he seemed to be full of discontentment and restlessness. But soon, his expression changed into sincerity as he asked Hexi this.

Hexi held the jade slip in her hand and inspected it. No matter how she looked at it, all she saw was an ordinary jade slip that was light green in color and held no peculiar points.

She then raised her head and looked at Wu Xin with a beseeching expression. She couldn’t help but sigh before saying, “Okay, I’ll accept it.”
