And he brought someone with him. Who’s the one in the mask? How’s the cultivation coming along? You’re asking too early. It’s not time yet. The world is so vast, but no matter where I go, I always worry about you. Physician Mo’s face is looking more and more lifeless. Show me your hand. Since you lied to me first, I see no reason to tell you the truth. The power of Tier 5 is that it lets me control my internal qi. If I hold it at Tier 3, he won’t notice my progress. I told you not to play tricks in front of me. So, how will you deal with me? Not bad. You’re exactly who I want. Even now, you’re keeping calm. But don’t worry. You’ll be fine. Your year’s not up yet. But it’s already been so long. Why is your cultivation still stuck at Tier 3? I did my best. Do you know what I gave you last time? Take this now. That pill is called Corpse Worm Pill. Actually, it’s not really a pill. It’s a worm egg crafted with a secret method. Once swallowed, it hides in your body. But don’t worry. You’ll be completely safe for now. As long as you take my antidote on time within a year, that egg will dissolve on its own without leaving any side effects. Otherwise… it’ll absorb nutrients inside you, hatch, and then start eating every last one of your organs, until you die slowly in unspeakable pain. Besides, a few days ago, I went to Qingniu Town. From a distance, I saw your whole family doing just fine. Even munching on big flatbreads. And your little sister, she’s grown into a lovely young lady. Quite the beauty. I swear! In three months, I’ll reach Tier 4. Now… that’s more like it! All right then. I’ll stay right here for the next few months. I’m not going anywhere else. I went through hell to find these pills for you. It’ll greatly help your cultivation. For the next three months, do whatever you like. Rest assured, I won’t be watching you anymore. But… if you haven’t made it by then, then it’ll be the end for both of us. Only three months left. I’ve got to make the most of it. That brat even learned to make poison! I never taught him anything like that! This little punk is so ruthless. Ungrateful to the core. I’ve only just started cultivating. I can’t rely on normal tactics to defeat someone like Physician Mo. Li Feiyu found me a manual called the Blink Sword Technique. He said it was perfect for someone like me with no foundation. But it’s less of a sword technique and more like an assassination art. It’s all about using your surroundings, setting traps, and manipulating light and shadows to mislead your enemy, so you can land a fatal strike. [Longevity Art, Tier 6] I’ve finally reached Tier 6. All my five senses have grown sharper. From the gurgle of distant streams to the flutter of nearby insect’s wings, I can sense it all with perfect clarity. I give up! Teaching a disciple really is exhausting work! How do you get faster by the day? You’re just a good master. Take this. It matches your Blink Sword Technique perfectly. Thanks. I’m heading back now. Han Li. I don’t know what you’ve been through lately. But no matter what happens, don’t face it alone. Send a message by pigeon if you must. Take care. Three months are up. Physician Mo, I’m coming for you. For this day, I’ve done all the prep I could. I’m not afraid anymore. Right on time, aren’t you? Where’s the antidote? Have you reached Tier 4? Where’s the antidote? When people fight to survive, they always tap into unimaginable potential. Here. Take it. I have one more question. Speak up. Did Zhang Tie really go home? Of course. You’re lying! I made a pact with him. If we didn’t amount to anything, we’d never go home! See? You only half believe me. You act all cautious, but you’re laughably naïve. You already knew the answer, so why even ask? You had me cultivated to Tier 4 to help you detox and heal. That was a lie too, wasn’t it? I’ll tell you whatever you want to know. It’s chilly out here. Come on, let’s talk inside. Come on. The heavens are on my side. You really reached Tier 4! I’m not going to die! I’m only 37. I’ve barely started living! Strange, isn’t it? I look so old at my 37. Anyone would think I’m pushing eighty and on death’s door. If not for the strange poison in my body that I’ve struggled to keep down, why would I go through all this trouble? Come on. Han Li. Today marks the end of our master-disciple bond. Show me what you’ve got. Let me see what you’ve prepared. In less than three months, you’ve already made this much progress. You really keep surprising me. But my reputation wasn’t built on medicine alone. Think you can take me on? [Silver Demon Palm]
My signature technique, the Silver Demon Palm, returns to the world today. Easy, my dear disciple. It’ll all be over soon. You little brat! Hiding tricks up your sleeve, huh? You dared poison me? You’ve got some nerve! “Hide cleverness with clumsiness.” You taught me that. Armored Puppet! “Hide cleverness with clumsiness.” That’s what I taught you. Armored Puppet. Stop struggling. He’s a puppet I made myself. He only listens to me. Relax, Han Li. We were master and disciple, after all. I won’t let you suffer too much. Did you do the same to Zhang Tie? Take a guess. He saw you as a second father, and you still harmed him? I had no choice. He didn’t have a spirit root. And he couldn’t practice the Longevity Art. So to me, he was useless. Mo Juren! Stop wasting time talking to him. Do it now! What’s the rush? At this point, as long as your Seven Ghost Soul-Devouring Curse works, he’s not going anywhere. Who are you talking to? Whose voice is that? Don’t be afraid. Don’t resist. Just enjoy this grand feast I’ve spent years preparing. I can hardly wait the thrill of rebirth. Seven Ghost Soul-Devouring Curse! Who are you? Take a look. This is what I used to look like. No need to be scared. It won’t hurt that much! Relax. In just a moment, it’ll all be over. Hurry, use the immobilizing talisman! Don’t let him bite his tongue! Do it faster! All that you’ve achieved won’t be in vain! Everything you are now belongs to us! [In Han Li’s Consciousness Sea] Give me your body. Give it all to your master. Give it to me. Give it to me! Give it to me! Mine… It’s mine! Give up everything you have, and hand it over! Hand it over! Give it all to your master! Hand it over! Hand it over! Hand it over! You’re mine! You belong to me! Give it to me! – Give it to me! – Give it to me! Hand it over! Hand it over! – Give it to me!- Give it to me! Hand it over! No! This is my body! All of you, get out! How is he breaking free? Didn’t you say I could possess him with your curse? The mantra I gave you only holds four tiers power. But he’s also reached Tier 4. So basically, you wanted me and him to wear each other down, so you could swoop in and take over? What do you think? You sly little snake. I won’t let you take him. He’s my disciple! Enough talking. Let’s settle this with skill! Tier 6? He tricked us. He’s reached Tier 6! Oh, Han Li… Looks like… I really underestimated you. “Do good with discretion.” That’s what you taught me too. You truly are my worthy disciple. It’s come to this. Got anything else to say? No. Nothing at all. That man just now is named Yu Zitong. Once you’re out, don’t believe a word he says. Kill him immediately. A primordial spirit’s weakest point is poison. Use what you used on me. That’s enough. Also, he fears the light. Goodbye, Master. And you? Got anything left to say? My name is Yu Zitong. I come from a cultivator clan. You’re a cultivator, and well-connected. Got it. If you help me find another body so I can start over, I will, in return, recommend you to my clan! Don’t believe a word he says. Kill him immediately. A soul’s weakest point is poison. Use what you used on me. In the world of cultivation, everything becomes easier with a strong clan behind you! How does that sound? You said the same thing to Physician Mo, didn’t you? That lowly mortal, how could he ever compare to us? Fair point. But he asked me to give you something. Get lost! Come out. Show yourself! Also, he fears the light. Let me out! What are you doing? Let me out! Let me out now! Whatever happened between you and Physician Mo, I couldn’t care less. I just want to stay alive. I don’t hurt others, and I won’t let others hurt me! Without Physician Mo’s command, this guy is totally still. This place should suit your tastes. No one will bother you here, because no one knows you’re no longer alive. Master, just rest here, in peace. You old bastard, you won’t let me go even in death. Disciple Han Li, if you’re reading this letter, it means I’ve lost, and you’ve won. Congratulations. I only tried body possession out of desperation. It was fate. It was destiny. Now that I’m dead, there’s no point talking about who’s right or wrong. It’d just be laughable. As for the Silver Demon Palm poison in you, I’ve left you some antidote. It’ll keep it suppressed for a few months. But to fully cure it, you’ll need my family heirloom, the Sunwarm Jade. Han Li, I’ve never owed anyone an explanation. Victory or defeat, fate decides it all. But my wife and daughter have nothing to do with this. I trust you’ll know what to do. You kept asking me what happened to Zhang Tie. Sadly, in this world, there’s no Zhang Tie left. I never meant to kill him, but he uncovered my secret. So I had no choice but to use his body to forge a soulless, mindless puppet. I named him Armored Puppet. That puppet’s mind was completely wiped. It moves at the sound of a bell. Bind it with your blood, and it obeys your will. ♪In dreams, the fragments of dreams remain♪ ♪A slanting moon falls into heaven’s mirrored lake♪ ♪Time slips by, yet my steps still linger♪ ♪The scenery returns, faint and tender♪ ♪Unforgettable, easier to remember than to let go♪ ♪We say the past is smoke and haze…♪ Blockhead, time to go! Tie. I’ve got pancakes too! My father made these for me after borrowing three bowls of flour from Uncle Niu. Blockhead, why don’t you wear it? It looks better on you. You can alternate between the two. ♪Eyes veiled in dust, times have changed…♪ All souls in this world eventually end like a song. From now on, you’ll be called Qu Hun. ♪Looking back, I’m on the mountaintop. Time forgotten, memory won’t stop♪ ♪Was it yesterday? Or was it tomorrow?♪ ♪As oceans shift and lands replace, nothing will remain the same♪ ♪Even times will change, time will wear down♪ ♪The words that have been spoken♪ ♪Only this longing♪ ♪Will cross centuries♪ ♪And last eternally♪ Physician Mo left behind tons of secret texts. The world outside is dangerous. I need to learn a few more skills before I leave here. [Medical Recipes and Herb Manuals] [Longevity Art] Longevity Art… So that’s what I’ve practiced. Why is there only half of it? Moving objects from a distance, is called the Object Control Spell. Heaven’s Eye Spell is a spell that reveals the depth of one’s cultivation power. Back then, Yu Zitong must’ve used this spell to instantly recognize that I had reached Tier 6. But among them all, the hardest spell to master has to be Fireball Technique. If used right, this one spell can be devastatingly powerful. Eighty-one strikes of the alarm bell. The Wild Wolves Gang actually made it here? Qu Hun, run! [Jia Tianlong, Leader of the Wild Wolves Gang] You’ve kept us down for years. Today, I’m here to settle the score! [Wang Juechu, Leader of the Seven Mysteries Sect] Kill! Kill them all! Master Wang, do you really want mutual destruction? Master Jia, I won’t let the Seven Mysteries Sect be destroyed in front of my eyes. If I trigger the mechanism, the mountain will crumble! If you don’t want us both dead, maybe hear me out first. Master Wang, what do you have in mind? Stop the mechanism, and we’ll talk! Qu Hun, hurry! Wait! Back off. Han Li! My good buddy! I knew you’d show up in need. They’ve already broken through. Go, protect the master with me! [Blood Duel Pact] I, Sect Master Wang Juechu, hereby agree with Jia Tianlong to settle this by a blood duel. Ten men each. Fight to the death. Li Zhanling of the Seven Mysteries Sect! Liu Chong of the Seven Mysteries Sect! Count me in! Li Feiyu of Outer Blade Hall is here! Who’s got the guts to fight me to the death? I really didn’t want to get involved, but I can’t just watch him walk into death. I won’t sign the pact, but I’ll fight right alongside you. You’re a physician. Why are you even in this fight? Step back! All of you, stand down! I’ll handle this! Mentor Lu is here! We’re going to crush them! Mentor Lu, kill them! [Master Jinguang] Jia Tianlong, are you trying to make a fool of me? Even a lion goes full force when it’s fighting a rabbit. Forgive the offense! [Heaven’s Eye Spell] He’s a cultivator? His tier’s even lower than mine. We have a true cultivator on our side. Didn’t expect that, huh? Mentor! Nice! Very nice! You demon freak! How dare you act so wildly! You worthless insect. You’ve got a death wish! Know your place! None of you are walking out alive today! Why won’t this thing obey me? A cultivator! Han Li… Leave it to me. Senior Li. This thing isn’t bad. I’ll take it. Hey, you! Which family are you from? Which family do you belong to? I’m from the Ye family of Qinling, just passing through on my way to Tainan Valley. I don’t want any trouble. Since you’re here, I’ll back off. What nonsense is this? The Ye family from Qinling? I’ve heard of them. So why did you interfere? I… I just took his offering. So I made an exception. I didn’t mean to offend you! An exception, huh? As cultivators, we really shouldn’t meddle in mortal affairs. But… I had no choice. Since you’ve admitted your mistake, take back your flying sword talisman. Then I’ll accept your kindness. And you might want to stay away from these mortal insects, or you’ll end up tainted too. – Great! – Great! What kind of treasure is this? Even the Fireball Technique can’t burn it. [Command Seal] – Great! – Great! Master Jia. Where are you heading? Master, let’s talk this through. I’ve got no quarrel with you. If you’d just spare me, I’d gladly reward you handsomely! You’ve killed countless innocents. Ever think this day would come? I might spare the others, but you… You’re the one I’ll never forgive. Will you take your own life or shall I do it for you? Everyone of the Wild Wolves Gang! Kill! Kill him! Charge! Kill him! I’m dead either way… Master! Master, you saved the sect today. I owe you a great debt. How would you like to be repaid? I’ll give you the position of Deputy Sect Master, one thousand taels of silver. And all elders and disciples will obey your orders. But, only after I pass away, the sect will finally be yours. What do you say? Why don’t you first call off the ambush hiding out? They were probably put there by Elder Zhang. Master, I meant no disrespect. As sect leader, there are things I simply can’t control. When you found your own sect, you’ll understand. Don’t worry, Master Wang. I won’t be staying for long. After today, I’ll be gone for good. But before I go, there’s a deal I’d like to strike, one that benefits both of us. Of course. No problem. You haven’t even heard my terms yet. Please, go ahead. Take Li Feiyu as your final disciple. Besides, appoint him as head of the Outer Blade Hall. Done. Anything else? He’s in love with Elder Zhang’s third daughter, Zhang Xiu’er. But Elder Zhang disapproves because he’s poor. I’ll talk to him. It’s not a big deal. Anything else? I have a third uncle. He’s just an outer disciple. He was the one who brought me to the Seven Mysteries Sect. If something happens to him later, – I hope you’ll take care of him. – Of course. No problem at all. As for me, I won’t let you go unrewarded. This one is a rare treasure, the Essence Pill. Keep it. It might just save your life in a critical moment. I got everything you’ve said. I accept it all. Farewell. ♪That day I first saw you♪ ♪We held close, hearts full of joy♪ ♪We made a promise to reunite♪ ♪And walked into the unknown♪ ♪But now that we’ve met again…♪ I’ve always been a loner. Never thought I’d find a true friend like you. I may not be good at much, but I’ve never feared a fight! Since we’re brothers now, if anyone ever dares to mess with you, just give them my name, Li Feiyu! Someday, – my name will echo across the Tiannan Continent! – Deal! Li Feiyu! Li Feiyu! ♪There’s still hardship ahead♪ ♪Even as cold winds blow…♪ Farewell, Master Han! ♪We’re just fleeting mortals♪ ♪Time slipped by before we knew♪ ♪Yet we burn that spark of light♪ ♪Into this starry sky♪ ♪Starlight fades into the Milky Way♪ ♪While the mayfly dies in the whirlpool…♪ This time, I really am leaving.

Let’s get a fire going! ♪But my heart has never rested♪ ♪Ever chasing, still searching on♪ ♪Through all the joy and sorrow♪ ♪How do I choose the way?♪ ♪Now we part, so far apart…♪ Six years have passed. Everything’s changed. No one’s left. Remember what I told you. Staying alive is what matters most. If you can’t win, just run. Got that? Don’t forget you started as a mortal. Even if you become immortal, act like a human being. Just imagine how you’ll mess with those cocky immortals, I can’t help but laugh out loud. Sure. Just rest in peace. ♪The ones before once told me♪ ♪There’s still hardship ahead♪ ♪Even as cold winds blow…♪ Why should only immortals soar through the skies, while we mortals stay trapped like frogs in a well? Han Li, there’s so much beauty in this world.

The pills I left you are enough to last ten years. Even without the Bone Agony Pill, [For Li] you’ll become a great hero. Don’t worry about me. Take care of yourself too. I believe the day will come when your name echoes across the Tiannan Continent. Han Li! Han Li, remember this: Before the name Li Feiyu shakes the Tiannan Continent, I won’t die. And you’re not allowed to die either. ♪Shards of dreams inside a dream♪ ♪A pale moon falls into mirrored skies♪ ♪Years slipped by as I lingered on♪ ♪Old scenes rise again♪ ♪Too hard to forget♪ ♪Easier just to miss♪ ♪They say the past fades like smoke♪ ♪But looking back still stirs the ache♪ ♪This noisy world, this lonely page♪ ♪Swept away by time♪ ♪Eyes once looked far♪ ♪Now lost in the shift♪ ♪Autumn winds stir♪ ♪Smoke curls once more♪ ♪Like clouds on the edge of sky♪ ♪Returning to my eyes♪ ♪Looking back from the mountaintop♪ ♪Time lost its name♪ ♪Was it yesterday♪ ♪Or tomorrow?♪ ♪The world has changed♪ ♪Beyond recall♪ ♪Time will fade♪ ♪All the words ever spoken♪ ♪Only this longing remains♪ ♪Crossing centuries and days♪ ♪In a fleeting moment we call eternity♪ ♪In a fleeting moment called eternity♪
