This kind of talent must be my junior.

As soon as these words were uttered, Feng Buqun’s eyes widened.

“You’re not here to become a disciple?”

If he wasn’t here to become a disciple, what else could he be doing at Phoenix Feather Sect now?

Sightseeing? Touring?

Could a figure like Fang Buqiu have such leisure?

Feng Buqun, with wide eyes, crossed dozens of steps in a few strides and blocked Fang Buqiu’s path.

The two had just been walking upwards, and any further would take them to the peak of Liaoqiao Peak.

If he wasn’t here to become a disciple, what kind of situation would it be if he continued to lead him up?

Fang Buqiu looked at Feng Buqun’s actions and smiled faintly, “What? Is it that Phoenix Feather Sect cannot be visited unless one is here to become a disciple now?”

Upon hearing this, Feng Buqun immediately cupped his hands. He naturally dared not show too much disrespect towards this figure who held considerable renown in Chaotic Land.

“Master Fang, when you come to our Phoenix Feather Sect, our sect will naturally welcome you wholeheartedly.”

“But… but if you only wish to see my master, then please allow me to report first. Most importantly, you must first tell me why you have come to seek my master this time.”

“Only then can I act accordingly!”

Feng Buqun stood in front, cupping his hands and speaking.

Although he had indeed stopped Fang Buqiu, his posture was very humble.

Fang Buqiu’s ordinary eyes looked at Feng Buqun, then glanced at the peak of Liaoqiao Peak.

He waved a hand, “Never mind.”

“Since it requires clear explanation to Sect Leader Feng before meeting, why don’t you and I sit down and have a good chat?”

Hearing Fang Buqiu relent, Feng Buqun quickly stepped forward.

“That would be best, please!”

The two figures then ambled down from the long steps of Liaoqiao Peak.

They arrived inside the main hall of Phoenix Feather Sect, right in the middle of the mountain gate.

Feng Buqun first waved his hand to dismiss the other cultivators in the hall, then brought over a teapot.

He personally bowed and poured a cup of hot tea for Fang Buqiu.

Fang Buqiu took the teacup, nodded slightly, and after taking a sip, a look of contentment appeared on his face.

“Do you know why I embarked on this path of medical cultivation?”

The sudden question caught Feng Buqun off guard. He paused and put down the teapot.

“I truly do not know about that, I only know that Master Fang, your attainments in the medical cultivation profession are extremely profound.”

“In the entire Chaotic Land, you are this kind of existence.”

Feng Buqun extended his thumb.

Feng Buqun’s hair was completely white, and he was the esteemed Sect Leader, yet his respectful demeanor in front of the middle-aged-looking Fang Buqiu did not seem out of place at all.

After all, everyone knew that although Fang Buqiu still appeared middle-aged.

No one knew his true age.

They only knew that he suddenly appeared a thousand years ago.

No one knew his background, nor where he came from; they only knew that his medical skills were unmatched.

Fang Buqiu chuckled, “Sect Leader Feng, the world only knows that I have attainments in the path of medical cultivation, but they do not know that in my early years, I was a sword cultivator.”

“Do you still remember the Ancient Sword Sect of Chaotic Land from over a thousand years ago?”

Upon hearing the three words “Ancient Sword Sect,” Feng Buqun’s eyebrows twitched.

“How could I not know? That Ancient Sword Sect suddenly appeared in Chaotic Land over a thousand years ago, and then developed rapidly, becoming one of the most prominent major sects in Chaotic Land in less than ten years.”

“At that time, people said that the unification of Chaotic Land would be completed by the Ancient Sword Sect.”

“The Sect Leader of that Ancient Sword Sect, I heard, was a sword cultivator of exceptional talent. Rumor has it he possessed strength approaching the Venerable Realm, but for some unknown reason, that sword cultivator later disappeared from the world.”

“Along with it, the Ancient Sword Sect was also a fleeting phenomenon, completely disappearing in merely fifty years.”

At this point, Feng Buqun frowned, his eyes fixed intently on Fang Buqiu in front of him.

He saw an ancient sleeve sword had appeared in Fang Buqiu’s palm at some unknown time.

With a flick of his finger, the sleeve sword vibrated.

It transformed directly into a foot-long sword, which then shook and flew back into Fang Buqiu’s sleeve.

This seemingly effortless operation revealed boundless true meaning of the sword dao.

Fang Buqiu looked at Feng Buqun, his face smiling.

His distinct, pale fingers clasped the teacup, and he took another sip.

The two looked at each other, and Feng Buqun stood up.

“You… could you be that extremely powerful sword cultivator Sect Leader of the Ancient Sword Sect?!”

Fang Buqiu nodded faintly and said, “Precisely.”

Upon hearing this news, Feng Buqun felt a bit muddled.

The medical cultivator Fang Buqiu of Chaotic Land was actually that peerless sword cultivator from the Ancient Sword Sect a thousand years ago?!

He had reached unparalleled heights in both the sword cultivation and medical cultivation paths?!

What kind of genius was this!

“Master Fang, then why did you turn from sword cultivation to medical cultivation?!”

Fang Buqiu put down his teacup, and a hint of melancholy unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

“It was an act of last resort.”

“I possess the Heavenly Sword Body, and from a young age, I made rapid progress in the path of sword cultivation. A thousand years ago, I accidentally came to Chaotic Land and founded the Ancient Sword Sect. However, good times did not last; during a breakthrough, due to being too eager for success, my dantian collapsed, and the Heavenly Sword Body was largely incomplete.”

“I searched for famous doctors but made no progress, so it was truly out of necessity that I dedicated myself to the path of medical cultivation.”

“Perhaps it’s a case of ‘a long illness makes a doctor,’ so I invested immense effort and research into the path of medical cultivation. But unfortunately, even now, I haven’t been able to fully repair my Heavenly Sword Body.”

“Today, I came here precisely because I heard that there is a medical cultivation sacred text within your esteemed sect.”

“I wish to personally meet your revered master to see if I can borrow this sacred text.”

“Of course, I, Fang Buqiu, know the value of this item, and I will offer sufficiently sincere compensation.”

After speaking, Fang Buqiu looked calmly at Feng Buqun.

And Feng Buqun rubbed his eyes.

For a moment, he was also a bit confused.

Heavenly Sword Body, what was that?

Although he had never heard of it, it was clearly something extremely formidable.

And Fang Buqiu had profound attainments in the path of sword cultivation, and similarly so in medical cultivation.

What an astonishingly talented cultivation genius he must be!

Regarding such a Fang Buqiu, Feng Buqun had only one thought in his mind.

You really should come and be my junior brother!

After being stunned for a long while, Feng Buqun finally came back to his senses.

“My master is eager for talent, and as for external things like cultivation techniques and ancient texts, my revered master is never stingy.”

“If you are willing to join my esteemed master’s tutelage, I presume none of these will be a problem!”

The more Feng Buqun spoke, the more excited he became. According to his master’s style of being a disciple-collecting maniac, if he could manage to bring in such a cultivation genius.

That would definitely be a great achievement!

This one person could at least be worth ten thousand!

But Fang Buqiu shook his head, “Sect Leader Feng, I, Fang Buqiu, do not wish to be dependent on others, and whether it is the sword dao or the medical dao, I do not currently believe there is anyone who can be my master.”

“At least in Chaotic Land, this is the case.”

“Today I came to Phoenix Feather Sect simply to conduct a win-win transaction.”

When Fang Buqiu said this, Feng Buqun opened his mouth, but for a while, he couldn’t say anything.

Fang Buqiu was clearly an extremely proud person.

To say more would be undignified.

Feng Buqun’s eyes darted around, and instantly he slapped the table and stood up.

“No matter, I will first take you to find my master. A person like Master Fang, even if it’s for a transaction, I believe my master will be very willing.”

Fang Buqiu nodded, and rose to his feet.

Before coming, Fang Buqiu had heard about the current development of Phoenix Feather Sect.

To take the initiative to seek cooperation today.

This was already the most proactive thing he could do given his transcendent temperament.

Feng Buqun looked sideways at Fang Buqiu, who was ascending the steps with him.

He had only one thought in his mind.

I’ll bring you, old man, in front of my master, and in less than half an hour.

You’ll still be my junior brother!

“Master, this way please!”
