Chapter 385 Medicine King Qing
Fang Daoyun actually has very little life experience.
She is Fang Shanglin's daughter. She was found to have good aptitude when she was young, and then she has been cultivating in Qingli Mountain ever since.
On occasional occasions when he went out to fight with others, he was also looked after by a cultivator with higher cultivation level at home.
Even after she had achieved perfect Qi cultivation, Fang Daoling still went out to work hard and managed to get her a Foundation Pill!
As a result, the family's finances tightened considerably, and Fang Daoling almost had to sell even their only Dao Foundation Spiritual Artifact...
In the end, it was Hu Yunshu who helped the Fang family uncover a secret vault hidden by the Hu family; otherwise, the spiritual artifact in Fang Daoling's possession would still have been lost...
After establishing her Dao Foundation, she realized that her aptitude was only decent during the Qi Absorption stage. After that, she lacked resources and her aptitude was average, so she would probably never be able to break through to the middle or late stages of the Dao Foundation stage in her lifetime...
Therefore, upon hearing that the cultivation world was about to descend into chaos again, and that Wusheng Temple was selecting a Tara, they stepped forward.
At this moment, Fang Daoyun turned his gaze and saw the female cultivator from the Zeng family, with whom he had a grudge.
The female cultivator in the black dress trembled, raised her head, and revealed a fearful yet ingratiating smile...
She saw Bai Feiling again, the proud female cultivator from the Bai family, and immediately lowered her elegant head...
Even Fang Daoling, the pillar of the family and secretly feared by the eldest branch of the family's cultivators, wore a fawning smile...
"The nobility of the Purple Palace reaches this level!"
……
"Alright, you may all leave now..."
Fang Qing began to usher people away, instructing Sangji to take Fang Daoyun to the meditation room for initiation and the bestowal of rank...
A moment later, Fang Daoyun, whose face held a hint of holiness, changed into a green dress, and her temperament changed dramatically.
"Medicine King Green... This is Vajra Power, Moonlight White, Sky Sparrow, Demon Subduing Black... In this temple, if I am not present, everything will be in the hands of Vajra Power Master..."
Sangji was the one who received the precepts from Fang Daoyun—no, it was the Medicine King Qing Tara Dao.
"Follow the law!"
Medicine King Qing Tara bowed respectfully again, and then met with Fang Qing, Moonlight White and other Tara disciples one by one.
Sangji, with the air of the White Bone Dharma King, went off to go into seclusion, leaving Fang Qing to face the four Taras, each with their own distinct charm.
"Ahem... Medicine King Qing Tara, do you know why the Dharma King promoted you?"
Fang Qing coughed and looked at his junior.
"Because...a great war is imminent?"
"I can only guess," Yao Wang Qing guessed.
"Indeed... Our temple will soon conscript cultivators to attack Wushan County and the Ten Thousand Mountains in the Southern Frontier... At that time, you and Moonlight White will be in charge of Wushan County, Demon Subduing Black and Sky Sparrow will be in charge of the Ten Thousand Mountains... The Fang family cultivators will be under your command."
Fang Qing began assigning tasks: "But we must fight, not immediately. We must fight slowly, deliberately, and with a plan and rhythm..."
"Is Du Zi trying to stall?"
"It seems this battle is quite complex?"
The Medicine King, Qing Dumu, seemed to be deep in thought.
"You all need to understand my orders carefully... Oh, by the way, Medicine King Qing Dumu, you are entitled to three days of rest. Go back to your family to sever your mortal ties before you receive further orders..."
Fang Qing waved his hand and granted the Medicine King Qing Dumu a three-day holiday.
……
Outside Wusheng Temple.
Fang Daoling lingered, and finally saw Fang Daoyun come out.
Fang Daoyun was now completely different from before, his body enveloped in a layer of dark green glass, transforming into a divine being.
Although it is not a supernatural power, its wondrous might and the status of Tara are enough to crush the foundation of the Dao!
Fang Daoling's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down again.
A gentle force lifted him up, and he saw that the Medicine King Green Tara had restrained her divine power. Although she still had a dignified appearance and wore a string of emerald jade necklaces around her neck, she was no longer as terrifying as before.
"The temple has granted me three days of rest. This place is quite far from Qingli Mountain, so I'll give you a ride!"
The Medicine King, Qing Dumu, did not give Fang Daoling a chance to object. With her delicate hand, she parted the void and led Fang Daoling into it.
This wasn't the first time Fang Daoling had been brought into the Great Void, but while he had been filled with trepidation before, he was now able to calm himself down and observe the hazy Great Void and the distant silvery storm...
Only then did he finally realize that his cousin, who had just established her Dao foundation, had transformed into a terrifying figure like Moonlight White…
……
Qingli Mountain.
The vast emptiness reflected two figures.
Fang Wujiu has been eating and sleeping poorly these past few years, and since Fang Daoling and Fang Daoyun went to Wusheng Temple, he has been even more restless and unable to eat or sleep properly.
Upon seeing the Medicine King Green Tara, adorned in a green dress and jade jewelry, his facial muscles twitched a few times, as if he were both crying and laughing, but in the end he simply bowed down: "This humble cultivator greets Tara!"
The Medicine King Qing Dumu was also unsure of her feelings, staring blankly as this elder bowed down and then raised her hand to beckon.
A wondrous, crystal-like light flashed across Qingli Mountain.
In an instant, countless myriad wonders arose, carrying the fragrance of herbs, and all those who were ill were cured.
One after another, streaks of light appeared, revealing cultivators from the first and second branches of the family. Upon seeing Fang Daoyun in this state, their eyes reddened: "Greetings, Mother Tara..."
Several prominent cultivators were almost moved to tears of joy: "My family... my family has also reached the Purple Mansion realm..."
"Haha, the surrounding families will have to obediently submit tomorrow and hand over their sacred lands and hostages..."
When he looked at the second branch of cultivators again, a faint sense of pride and smugness appeared in his eyes.
Looking at all this, the Medicine King Qing Dumu suddenly felt utterly bored.
Although she had never cultivated any mind-reading magic, her status allowed her to easily discern everything about Qingli Mountain with a simple calculation...
"Originally, I thought that although the second branch had my cousin Daoling and Ancestor Wujiu... they had many children, and their subordinates had been secretly ostracizing the first branch... Now it seems that this is indeed the case, but the cultivators of the first branch are not innocent either... They forced my cousin Daoling to send his eldest son away, and now that I have returned, they are brewing vicious schemes to seize back power..."
The Medicine King Qing Tara finally understood why Vajrapani had given her three days to come and sever her worldly ties.
She landed on Qingli Mountain, looking at the cultivators nearby who were both obsequious and fearful. With a slight, mysterious tremor, she could easily kill these ants...
"Is this the hidden danger of advancing too quickly in cultivation, making it difficult to fully control? It needs to be tempered with Brahma Dharma..."
Medicine King Qing Dumu forced herself to remain silent and spoke a few more words to a few relatives.
Before the second day even arrived, several streaks of light flew to Qingli Mountain, revealing Dao Foundation cultivators among them: "Congratulations to the Fang family of Qingli for obtaining the Brahma Affinity. We are willing to submit..."
As he spoke, he actually knelt down in front of the mountain gate.
"Dao Ling, you take care of these mundane matters..."
Medicine King Qing Dumu shook her head, noticing that when she uttered those words, the eyes of several cultivators from the main branch flickered.
After secretly calculating the cause and effect again using hand seals, a murderous intent suddenly arose in his heart...
……
The next day.
Wusheng Temple.
Just as the Medicine King Green Tara returned to the temple, she saw the Demon Subduer Black Tara emerge from Vajrapani's meditation room, her face still flushed.
"Tara, please don't misunderstand. I am currently discussing the path of body refinement with several Taras..."
Fang Qing waved his hand dismissively: "Didn't I give you three days off? Why are you back so early?"
"I have long since transcended the mundane world and cannot wait to serve the Dharma King."
"The Medicine King, Qing Dumu, said respectfully."
"Hmm... It's truly admirable to have such awareness. No wonder you have attained a karmic connection with the Buddha."
Fang Qing appeared to admire, but in reality, he already knew the truth.
"Knowing too much only brings more pain..."
"Even if we are merely True Immortals of the Purple Mansion, it is still a dimensional attack on those of lower cultivation... Moreover, having witnessed too much of the dark side, and lacking sufficient experience and temperament... rashly promoting them would indeed pose some hidden dangers."
"Fortunately, I've achieved my goal... The power of the 'Hidden Forest' technique has indeed increased, especially when I was with Medicine King Qing; its power more than doubled!"
"With my current status as a Great Perfection Master possessing three supernatural powers, if I were to unleash this power, even a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Four Arts' Perfection would likely find it difficult to detect... I just wonder if I could deceive my celestial subordinates, envoys, and attendants?"
Thinking of the gods, Fang Qing couldn't help but think of Bai Ze in the Xuanxu Heaven.
Unfortunately, it's still Kurosawa recently, and I can't log in to my own site.
"Besides... the alias 'Xu Ming Xuan Sha Tu Bo' can be discarded sooner or later... does he really want to embarrass himself in front of a Golden Core True Monarch?"
"At the Junshan Gathering, the only one truly worthy of attention is the Scattered Wood Immortal... and it's best for me to avoid him at this time, and even more so to refrain from mentioning anything about the Wood Virtue..."
With a slight smile, he took out a spirit pot from his robes and casually tossed it to the Medicine King Qing Dumu: "I haven't yet congratulated you on becoming a Dumu, so let this Dao Foundation Spiritual Artifact, the 'Jun Tian Pot,' be my congratulatory gift... Although the crafting technique of this pot is average, it has been refined with a lot of blood energy and destiny mixed in, so its quality is quite good among Dao Foundation Spiritual Artifacts. Moreover, it belongs to the [Ji Water] category... It is quite suitable for your Qingli Fang family."
"Thank you so much, son."
The Medicine King Qing Dumu originally intended to send this basic spiritual artifact back to Qingli Mountain, but she was stunned the moment her palm touched the body of the pot.
A sense of connection, of shared destiny and intertwined fate, made her eyes redden and she almost shed tears.
"This object...I wonder what its origin is?"
Fortunately, she was, after all, Tara, and her many emotions were fleeting. A flash of radiant light passed through her, and her expression returned to its calm and serene state.
"This item has quite a history... It was obtained by the Dharma King from the blessed land of the East Sea. In terms of its true origin, it comes from 'Moyun Cliff'. It was the bait used by the great master Yaochen to fish... It was refined by the Luo family of Tianshui."
Fang Qing seemed completely unaware of the inside story and explained with a smile.
"Tianshui Luo..."
Medicine King Qing Dumu had some vague guesses in her heart, after all, she had also read the clan's internal history and knew about the Fang family's past.
"Alright, the bait has been cast... I hope your Fang family will be helpful and trace my bloodline, preferably finding the fourth supernatural power of [Ji Shui]..."
If Daoji were to investigate this matter, he might not even know how he died.
But Tara is much better.
What's more... Tara is worthless after she dies, she can be reincarnated!
Furthermore, now that the Medicine King Qing Dumu is a member of the White Bone Path, Fang Qing can use this as a pretext to lend a helping hand at any time.
"Alright, you can go now."
After presenting the treasures, Fang Qing casually waved his hand, saying, "Bai Ziye from the Bai family will be coming to pay his respects to the Dharma King later..."
"The Bai family, Bai Ziye?"
The Medicine King Qing Tara bowed and withdrew, seemingly lost in thought. If Bai Ziye was merely an ordinary Dao Foundation cultivator, how could he possibly be valued by the Dharma King?
