Chapter 127

With a wave of Li Xuan’s hand, several books flew out of the room, landing in his hand.

These were all medical books from the borderlands.

“Shall 1 test your knowledge?”

Su Lingxiu nodded.

Li Xuan found it hard to believe — this lively and dynamic girl could be so skilled in medicine?

If it was really the case, her talent was impressive. Perhaps he should consider taking her on as an apprentice.

He opened one of the medical books and started asking Su Lingxiu questions about different case studies.

He discovered that Su Lingxiu answered smoothly, capable of providing solutions for all sorts of diseases.

Her outstanding medical skills were not a result of erroneous knowledge.

Enlivened, Li Xuan was not concerned about Su Lingxiu’s Inner Realm Martial Arts skills. They were merely at the seventh level, and changing her training to his Martial Arts would be easy.

Moreover, because she already had a foundation in martial arts, her training wouldn’t be slow.

Li Xuan waved for Shi’er to leave. He stood up from the chair, playing with the Jade Ruyi in his hand, and circled around Su Lingxiu with a grin.

Su Lingxiu became a bit flustered: “Oh no, oh no, I’ve kicked a hornet’s nest. There’s no way to hide now!”

Aunt Zhou’s breathing became heavy, her fists clenched, as if she wanted to overcome the mountain in her heart and protect her mistress.

Her eyes turned red.

Li Xuan retracted his aura and said with a light laugh: “Martial arts of the fourth rank? From the Inner Domain?”

Aunt Zhou took a few deep breaths, and with a deep voice, replied, “Yes, from the Inner Domain. I’m Zhou Ying, assigned to protect Miss.”

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow. This girl seemed to have a complicated background?

But he didn’t care about whether his apprentices’ backgrounds were intricate or not. As long as they were suitable to become apprentices, the more outstanding their backgrounds, the more willing he was to take them on.

“Martial artists of the Inner Domain usually do not come to the borderlands. Are you escaping trouble?”

A suspicion arose in Li Xuan’s mind.

Zhou Ying became silent.

But she felt some relief. This man was not one of those chasing her Mistress.

Su Lingxiu snorted twice and said, “We’re not escaping trouble, we just moved to a new place to live!”

Li Xuan paused.

After pondering for a while, he realized Su Lingxiu had been in the borderlands for quite some years now. After all, she had been the Heavenly Mother of the Heavenly Mother Sect for several years.

For such a long time, nobody had come to the borderlands to chase them.

Perhaps no one would predict that the two of them would flee to the borderlands.

In his mind, Li Xuan evaluated whether it would be worth it to involve himself with the forces behind Su Lingxiu if he were to accept her as an apprentice.

“Given my strength, I can handle a Great Grandmaster with ease. And if Xu Yan comprehends the Cultivation Technique above the Innate Realm, 1 will break through yet another realm.

“Therefore, the trouble behind Su Lingxiu is only minor.”

Naturally, this all depended on whether Su Lingxiu could comprehend his newly compiled Martial Arts system. As long as she could grasp it, the troubles behind her would be trivial.

“This girl looks quite clever, and having learnt medicine since she was four years old means she has extraordinary talent. It’s unlikely I’d find a more suitable person in the borderlands.”

Li Xuan began forming a plan in his mind.

He opened his mouth and asked: “Little girl, do you know about elixirs?”

Su Lingxiu shook her head.

“What’s an elixir? Is it a pill?”

As she spoke, she reached into her bag and pulled out a pill bottle. She tipped out a few pills.

“Elixirs are not something these pills of yours can compare to.”

Li Xuan took a glance at the round little pills in her small and delicate hand.

This girl did have talent; perhaps she could grasp the new martial arts system he had compiled.

Hence, he said, “1 see you have decent aptitude and are quite clever. I have a Dan Medical Martial Arts Method here, would you like to become my apprentice?”

Li Xuan sat down on the chair.

“Master, I pay my respects to you!”

Su Lingxiu immediately knelt down and kowtowed, as if she was afraid that Li Xuan would change his mind.

“Miss, you!”

Zhou Ying was dazed. Why did the Miss suddenly agree to become a disciple?

Li Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly. Su Lingxiu was indeed shrewd — she had agreed to become his disciple without any hesitation.

Having a master meant having support.

He was very powerful. From Su Lingxiu’s perspective, security greatly increased after having him as a master.

“Let me be frank. You only have one year. If you don’t make any progress in that time, our master-disciple relationship will be terminated. I don’t keep useless disciples.”

Li Xuan said solemnly, a stern look on his face.

If Su Lingxiu failed to understand the Dan Medical Martial Arts, he naturally wouldn’t be her support any longer.

There was no need to get involved in such troubles.

If she did comprehend the Dan Medical Martial Arts, well, that would be different.

She would be a treasured disciple!

With regard to his Martial Arts career, anyone who dared to cause trouble, would be crushed!

“Yes, Master!”

Su Lingxiu said respectfully.

One year was plenty. With her own talent, she believed that she would easily get the basics within the year.

Zhou Ying was agitated and said, “Miss, this is the borderland. The Heavenly Earth Lingji is gone, and training is impossible!”

Su Lingxiu was taken aback; she had forgotten about that!

“Master, what do you think?”

“My Martial Arts can hardly be compared to those of the Inner Domain. As for the Heavenly Earth Lingji being gone and training being impossible — all that is nonsense.”

Li Xuan scoffed.

“You just need to remember the Cultivation Technique 1 pass to you. Comprehend it well. If you can’t grasp the basics within a year, we will terminate the master-disciple relationship!”

Su Lingxiu’s eyes sparkled, and she asked, “Master, are you really sure it won’t affect my training?”

“Definitely!”

Li Xuan nodded.

“Then Master, rest assured, I will definitely understand it within a year!”

Su Lingxiu promised..
