Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2079 - 2082: Returning from the Secret Realm with a Bounty of Treasures

Seeing Shen Qiang, without the slightest hesitation, pick out four weapons that were all very suitable for women, the first-generation Pavilion Master of Qingyun Sword Pavilion couldn't help but show a faint smile and say, "All of them are weapons suited for women. Shen Medicine King really is quite the romantic."Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "If a man isn't romantic in his youth, it's a life wasted. I'm afraid I've made Pavilion Master laugh at me."

The Pavilion Master of Qingyun Sword Pavilion smiled and strode out.

Having obtained the huge lump of Purple Heart Dragon Saliva and four Immortal Artifacts, Shen Qiang was incomparably satisfied. As for the other treasures in the cave, for Kang Sheng's sake, he couldn't take everything right now. But as long as Kang Sheng was still alive, it was impossible for him to be completely free of desire.

So the rest of the stuff here would end up belonging to Shen Qiang sooner or later.

The only difference was whether he'd trade for them with tea, or with instant noodles.

After all, to this old man who had been living here for over a thousand years, instant noodles were a rare and marvelous delicacy.

They exited the Heavenly Secret Cave.

Outside, the sun was bright. At this moment, Kang Luoying was not only brimming with heroic spirit, her aura had clearly stepped into the Dao Fruit Stage. What surprised Shen Qiang even more was that she was now full of vigor; her pretty face charmingly curved into a smile at him, and that hint of pride between her brows inexplicably made her seem indescribably alluring.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for passing on the Dao Fruit!" Kang Luoying bowed.

Kang Sheng smiled and said, "Rise. You are a disciple of my Kang Family, and also of my bloodline. Qingyun Sword Pavilion has stood for a thousand years without falling. By your generation, it's already the seventy-first, over sixteen hundred years. In this regard, I am very gratified."

"But Qingyun Sword Pavilion is clearly already standing at the edge of a cliff. One wrong step and it may be smashed to pieces. Fortunately, you little girl are blessed with good fortune and met Shen Medicine King. With his support, plus you cultivating my Dao Fruit, I believe Qingyun Sword Pavilion will stand secure for another thousand years."

"It is only because of Patriarch's deep blessings that this junior can be so fortunate." Kang Luoying said.

Kang Sheng laughed and said, "The great tree that once sheltered Qingyun Sword Pavilion was me, but now it is Shen Qiang. Getting along with another person is both simple and complicated; it is an art. You must put your heart into it."

Kang Luoying's pretty face flushed red in an instant. She shyly cast a glance at the smiling Shen Qiang and said, "Thank you for the guidance, Patriarch. Kang Luoying will do her utmost."

Kang Sheng nodded with a smile, then waved his hand.

The enormous Qingyun Sword that pierced the clouds instantly appeared in his hand. Then his expression suddenly dimmed as he said, "This sword accompanied me in sweeping through all the experts under heaven, undefeated. Kang Luoying, do not tarnish its prestige!"

Kang Luoying's beautiful eyes instantly blazed with heroic spirit as she said, "Please be at ease, Patriarch. I have memorized all the sword techniques you passed on to me."

Hearing this, Kang Sheng sighed and said, "Cultivation is like rowing upstream—if you do not advance, you retreat. Remember well: there is always someone stronger. Diligent study and bitter training from beginning to end is the only correct path to truly becoming a powerhouse."

"I will engrave Patriarch's teachings in my heart!" Kang Luoying's beautiful eyes were serious.

Hearing this, Kang Sheng nodded, then turned and smiled at Shen Qiang, saying, "Kang Luoying is extraordinarily gifted and amazingly perceptive. In the future her strength will certainly not be beneath mine, but she is still young and there are many things she doesn't understand. I must ask Shen Medicine King to be tolerant, patient, and to guide her. Kang Sheng thanks you in advance."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry. My relationship with her is closer than you imagine."

Hearing this, Kang Sheng laughed and said, "Then this is farewell. Let everything return to calm. In sixty years, if you're free, you're welcome to visit."

As he spoke, Kang Sheng merely waved his hand.

Everyone's vision blurred.

Then, to their astonishment, they discovered they were already back in the now-empty Heavenly Secret Cave.

"Patriarch!" Holding the Qingyun Sword, Kang Luoying lifted her beautiful eyes in shock.

But at this time, the ceiling above was already completely back to normal.

"Sixty years, damn it. His Space Array opens only once every sixty years?" Shen Qiang was stunned, thinking, "Mad, if I'd known that earlier, why the hell was I being so polite? I should've just figured out a way to sweep all the goodies in there clean!"

Shen Qiang felt a bit of regret in his heart.

But at this moment, all the girls' eyes were shining. The charming Ye Guyun transmitted her voice with divine sense: "Shen Qiang, I got an amazing treasure from that cave. That bottle of Vermilion Bird Blood—let's steam it and eat it together. My master said before that it would make people like us stronger."

Shen Qiang froze for a moment, then was shocked. "What did you say?"

"Vermilion Bird Blood!" Ye Guyun said. "The bottle I took. When my master was alive, he kept going on about how if I got that thing, I'd become stronger. He just never managed to get it. But now I have it, and I'll share half with you!"

Shen Qiang's eyes lit up instantly. "Hand it over, I'll allocate it."

Ye Guyun immediately pouted and said, "No way. It's useless for anyone else."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang felt helpless, but thinking it over carefully, it really was as Ye Guyun said. For other Demons, this Vermilion Bird Blood didn't mean much. Even if it boosted them, the increase wouldn't be huge. But for Shen Qiang and Ye Guyun, it was different.

The reason Great Demon Qiongqi was the head of the Ancient Four Great Beasts was, on one hand, its own immense strength, and on the other, that Great Demon Qiongqi possessed the ability to evolve.

As for Shen Qiang, he used Fetal Dragon Essence Foundation Establishment.

Legend had it that dragons could also evolve by devouring other Great Demons.

So, this bottle of Vermilion Bird Blood was actually even more important to the two of them than the Dao Fruit Kang Luoying had obtained.

After all, if a Dao Fruit doesn't suit you, it's meaningless. But Vermilion Bird Blood could push Shen Qiang and Ye Guyun toward a higher life form. Which was stronger was obviously beyond question.

Besides that, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing's eyes bent into crescents as she smiled. "This pendant is so pretty, so beautiful. What's more, it actually records Demon Fox Secret Techniques. Being able to run into it in the Heavenly Secret Cave is simply destiny."

Shen Qiang was pleasantly surprised.

And at this moment, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu also giggled and said, "Come quick and take a look. This Pure Bottle I got is amazing!" As she spoke, Shen Qiang stared in astonishment as, inside the Pure Bottle in Ke Bizhu's hand, a Sleeping Fire Lotus rapidly sprouted. In almost the blink of an eye, it grew from a tender bud into a mature plant, even blooming into a delicate lotus flower.

"Good, very good. Looks like everyone's come back loaded with spoils. We really were lucky this time." Shen Qiang said with a smile. But at the same time, he suddenly turned his head and said to Kang Luoying, "But Kang Luoying, I have to remind you."

"You mustn't harbor the intent to harm others, but you must never be without the intent to guard against them. The fact that the first-generation Pavilion Master of Qingyun Sword Pavilion is still alive and currently in the Heavenly Secret Cave must be kept secret. Because if certain scheming types found out, they'd stop at nothing."

Hearing this, Kang Luoying nodded and said, "Patriarch already mentioned this in the inheritance. Whether it's the secret of the Heavenly Secret Cave, or the Dao Fruit he passed on to me, or the sword techniques, I can only say they are things I obtained through my own cultivation and must not involve him in the slightest."

Shen Qiang nodded. "Just do that."
