Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1493 - 1490: Xuanbing Qixue

Seeing Lin Tian still looking worried, Ling Zishan had to explain again, "Although Wanxi is injured, she has finally successfully advanced to the Innate Realm. With the recovery ability at the Innate Realm level, combined with the Lifeless Tai Chi Secret Scripture which specializes in recovery, as long as Wanxi meditates and controls her breath, she will soon return to her peak state."

"Oh, breath control, she should meditate and control her breath." Lin Tian finally understood. Earlier, he was too anxious, but now realizing it, he quickly helped Wang Wanxi sit down and let her meditate to regulate her Inner Qi.

Watching Lin Tian being both anxious and meticulous, Ling Zishan smiled slightly, "Xiao Tian, you look so worried, and before you were delivering elixirs. Anyone who doesn’t know would think you are Wanxi’s son." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Why not a younger brother? I think Aunt Wang and Ling Pavilion Master both look so young." Lin Tian, feeling relaxed, couldn’t help but joke.

Ling Zishan couldn’t help but laugh, her eyes full of amusement. Tang Ziqing, however, glanced coldly at Lin Tian, her eyes full of disdain, of course, for Lin Tian’s flowery words.

Lin Tian didn’t mind and suddenly sighed, saying seriously, "I, Lin Tian, have been an orphan since childhood, adopted and raised by someone. At seventeen, the grandfather who adopted me also passed away, leaving me alone with no relatives. I dropped out of school and stepped into society, truly experiencing the warmth and coldness of human relationships. For people who are good to me, I will repay them tenfold and a hundredfold."

"In my heart, Aunt Wang is my family." Lin Tian said softly, his expression becoming a bit desolate, but his gaze deep and firm.

Tang Ziqing’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Lin Tian’s expression and gaze. Perhaps she was prejudiced against him? Ling Zishan’s expression was also peculiar, her gaze becoming somewhat dim, as if she was distracted.

The atmosphere on the tower top turned silent, as if everyone was lost in their own thoughts. Lin Tian looked at the Zishan Pavilion Master before him, feeling curious. Could she also be someone with a story?

About half an hour later, Wang Wanxi opened her eyes and stood up. At this moment, the paleness on her face had disappeared, restored to its former rosy and glossy state, and her eyes had become bright and lively again.

"Aunt Wang, are you fully recovered?" Lin Tian asked.

"Of course I’m fully recovered, and the Innate Realm has completely stabilized. For twenty years, I never thought I would have a day to advance to Innate. The events of the past still seem like yesterday." Wang Wanxi sighed a little, her face full of emotion.

Although she was sighing, Lin Tian knew that her being able to say this meant she had truly faced what happened in the past, rather than just appearing calm on the surface. The Heart Demon in her heart was completely eliminated, leaving only a hope buried deep inside.

When a person has hope, they won’t despair. Lin Tian believed that one day, she would find Yun Tian.

"Aunt Wang, being an Innate Expert now, if we spar in the future, you’ll have to go easy on me a bit." Lin Tian broke the gloomy atmosphere and joked.

Wang Wanxi looked at him with amusement, saying, "Xiao Tian, do you dare to go all out and have a match with me, without holding back, to see who has to go easy on whom?"

Looking into Wang Wanxi’s eyes, Lin Tian felt as if he’d been seen through. He couldn’t help laughing twice, then changed the subject, "Uhh, I want to ask Aunt Wang a question."

"What question?" Wang Wanxi found it curious, seeing Lin Tian asking so seriously.

"When I fought Situ Ming earlier, I felt his True Qi was very strange. The Situ family wouldn’t be practicing some Evil Technique, would they?" Lin Tian voiced his doubt.

Situ Ming’s True Qi was chilling, seemingly capable of penetrating an opponent’s organs and freezing their insides. This kind of True Energy was indeed peculiar.

As soon as he asked, Tang Ziqing and Ling Zishan looked at him, full of confusion. Wang Wanxi shook her head helplessly, "Lin Tian’s master is a reclusive expert, and it’s his first time walking in the Ancient Martial World. He’s not familiar with the situation of the Ancient Martial World, let alone the conditions of each major Ancient Martial family."

"Oh, I see. It seems your master is knowledgeable in both Ancient Martial and alchemy." Ling Zishan came to a sudden realization, looking at Lin Tian with more interest.

Lin Tian could only nod a few times, neither denying nor admitting it. Wang Wanxi, having heard such ambiguous answers from him before, didn’t care much, only addressing his previous question, "The Situ family’s Cultivation Technique is not an Evil Technique, but a peculiar technique called the Mystic Ice Blue Record, which develops into Xuanbing True Energy."

"Xuanbing True Energy carries an icy attribute. When fighting with the Situ family, it’s very troublesome. If one’s skill is insufficient, the cold can invade the organs, and without caution, one might fall for it. Even if you can resist the cold, it will still cause you various troubles."

"Coincidentally, the Wang family’s Lifeless Tai Chi Secret Scripture excels in defense. At the same level, it can almost ignore the cold of Xuanbing True Energy. Many in the Ancient Martial World see this as some form of restraint. The world of cultivation techniques involves mutual generation and suppression; it’s entirely natural. However, the Situ family takes this quite hard, so in many matters, the Situ family and Wang family hold different positions, sometimes resulting in conflicts, even opposition."

"That’s why when Situ Ming saw me advance to Innate, he was so unhappy, even using the pretense of teaching you a lesson to sabotage my advancement." Wang Wanxi explained in detail, even clarifying the strange behavior of the Situ family.

It was Lin Tian’s turn for a sudden realization, but he still looked down on them, saying, "If others say they’re powerful, that’s fine. But if someone says they’re not, they take it out on the Wang family. They really don’t live up to the reputation of an Ancient Martial family. Besides, the Lifeless Tai Chi Secret Scripture’s strength in defense is against all cultivation techniques, not just Xuanbing True Energy. The Situ family just likes to take things personally."

Ling Zishan shook her head, saying, "How many can see through the issue of pride? The higher one’s position, the harder it is to let go."

Wang Wanxi also sighed slightly and said, "Actually, it’s not just about the cultivation technique. The Situ family’s heirloom treasure is a treasured sword called the Qixue Sword, and there’s a popular saying, ’Blue Ming red sky, Xuanbing Qixue.’ People think these words describe the treasured sword, but that’s not entirely true. This saying reveals the foundation of the Situ family, their sword and cultivation technique, the Qixue Sword and the Mystic Ice Blue Record."

"Though the Qixue Sword is a treasured sword, it falls slightly behind the Purple Lightning, Green Frost, and Lifeless Sword, a point of contention for the Wang family. Thus, the Situ family has a mission passed down through generations to find a way to reforge the Qixue Sword to rival, even surpass, the Purple Lightning and Green Frost. For this purpose, the Situ family is willing to do anything." Wang Wanxi said calmly.

"I finally understand. This is a blood feud triggered by inferiority." Lin Tian spread his hands in conclusion.

The three goddesses beside him were taken aback, then laughed, "Daring to say the Situ family is inferior, your perspective is indeed unique."
