"Are you Dongguo, the divine doctor?"
"Are you Shangguan Yunyue?"
Both of them asked at the sa ti.
"Yes, I am Dongguo Heixin." The old man cracked a smile, revealing a set of ghastly white teeth, "It's been rumored outside for quite so ti that the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, Shangguan Yunyue, is the most beautiful woman in the Human Territory. Seeing you today, it really is extraordinary. You are indeed very beautiful, a ss of beauty, hahaha…"
"Please, Dongguo, the divine doctor, save my friend." Shangguan Yunyue gently placed Gao Fei on the ground, "As long as you can save my friend, I will give you a generous reward."
Dongguo Heixin glanced at Gao Fei, "I heal people with conditions."
"Whatever the condition is, I agree to it." Shangguan Yunyue hurriedly said.
"Really, you agree to anything?" Dongguo Heixin stared intently at Shangguan Yunyue, "What if I say… I want you to be my woman? Would you agree to that?"
"What?!" Shangguan Yunyue's face changed color.
"You just said no matter what condition I propose, you would agree… Why hesitate now?" Dongguo Heixin sneered.
Shangguan Yunyue clenched her teeth, "Fine, I agree!"
"What?" Dongguo Heixin was taken aback, "Are you serious?"
"Serious." Shangguan Yunyue nodded, "As long as you can save my friend, I am willing to pay any price."
Dongguo Heixin looked Shangguan Yunyue up and down with a tsk-tsk sound, "I really didn't see it coming, you actually have such a spirit of sacrifice! It looks like this man lying on the ground is very important to you."
"More important than my own life."
"Do you like him?"
"Like."
"This man looks very ordinary, how could you fall for him?"
"To like is to like, there is no reason."
"Interesting." Dongguo Heixin squinted his eyes and smiled.
"I have already agreed to your condition, can you now treat Gao Fei?" Shangguan Yunyue urged, "My friend is in terrible shape, please start treatnt sooner…"
"Don't be anxious, I am going to save him now." Dongguo Heixin walked over, bent down, and began to check Gao Fei's injuries... Monts later, Dongguo Heixin furrowed his eyebrows; to have the world's number one divine doctor frown indicated that Gao Fei's condition was not very optimistic.
Shangguan Yunyue's heart tightened, "How is he?"
Dongguo Heixin stood up, shaking his head, "I am sorry, I can't heal him."
"What?" Shangguan Yunyue beca anxious, "How could you possibly not be able to heal him? You are the number one divine doctor in the world!"
"I really can't." Dongguo Heixin sighed softly, "His injuries are too severe... External injuries are easy to heal, internal wounds are difficult; his organs, ridians, and dantian have all been severely damaged... I can't heal him…"
"Think of another way! You must have a thod!" Shangguan Yunyue insisted, "Please, think of sothing! I am begging you, think of a thod!"
Dongguo Heixin pondered for a mont, "There is a way, only that..."
"Only what? Just tell !"
"There might be sothing that could revive him."
"What is it?"
"Shariputra."
"Huh? What's that?"
"High monks with profound mana will leave behind a Shariputra when they pass away in nirvana. The Shariputra contains the essence of the monk's life energy, a rare treasure in this world. If we can find a Shariputra, it might save him."
"Where can we find a Shariputra?" Shangguan Yunyue asked eagerly.
Looking around as though worried about eavesdroppers, Dongguo Heixin leaned in and spoke in a hushed tone, "Inside the Myriad Buddhas Sect, there are Shariputras, and not just a few."
"The Myriad Buddhas Sect?" Shangguan Yunyue was taken aback, "What place is this? I've never heard of it before?"
"The Myriad Buddhas Sect is a mysterious place that has existed since Ancient Tis. It is inhabited by monks who never ddle in worldly affairs, solely devoted to practicing Buddhism. I once had the fortune to visit the Myriad Buddhas Sect and was utterly astounded! The Myriad Buddhas Sect is so vast, so majestic..." Dongguo Heixin exclaid with admiration, "The Myriad Buddhas Sect is a cloud of experts, and even a little monk sweeping the floor is no ordinary individual..."
"So based on what you're saying... the Myriad Buddhas Sect is very powerful? Why doesn't anyone in the outside world know of its existence?"
"Because the Myriad Buddhas Sect keeps a low profile, they are dedicated to Buddhism and never venture outside, let alone get involved in worldly affairs. Moreover, the sect's location is extrely remote, so over the years, very few people have known of the Myriad Buddhas Sect's existence." Dongguo Heixin explained, "I also discovered the Myriad Buddhas Sect by chance... At that ti, I stayed there for a few days, and every day soone would teach Buddhist teachings, urging to beco a monk... If my resolve hadn't been exceptionally strong, I might have actually beco a monk..." Every ti he recalled this event, Dongguo Heixin felt a shiver of fear; the monks of the Myriad Buddhas Sect were too good at beguiling people, and he had almost been ensnared.
"Tell , where is the Myriad Buddhas Sect?" Shangguan Yunyue asked.
"You have to rember not to say it was who told you," Dongguo Heixin cautioned, "If the Myriad Buddhas Sect finds out I told you... they definitely won't let off the hook."
"Don't worry, I won't implicate you," Shangguan Yunyue assured.
"The Myriad Buddhas Sect is in the Southwestern Borderland, where there's a prival forest. After passing through the forest, you'll see a wide river. Cross that river and you'll co across a range of mountains; the Myriad Buddhas Sect is hidden within those mountains..." Dongguo Heixin described the location of the Myriad Buddhas Sect in detail.
Shangguan Yunyue listened intently, morizing everything in her heart.
"So, have you got it all?" Dongguo Heixin asked.
"I've got it," Shangguan Yunyue nodded, "If I go and ask for a Shariputra, will they give it to ?"
"My ancestors, oh!" Dongguo Heixin jumped up, pointing at Shangguan Yunyue's nose, "Have you gone mad? To actually think of asking for it! You don't wish to live anymore? Haven't I ntioned before? Shariputras are what high monks leave behind when they die and the Myriad Buddhas Sect treasures them like precious jewels, never allowing outsiders near. If you foolishly go asking for them, they will definitely throw you out. And if you encounter a temperantal Great Monk, they might just crush you to death on the spot!"
"Then what should I do?" Shangguan Yunyue frowned, "Are we supposed to steal it by force?"
"Oh my..." Dongguo Heixin was so exasperated that the corners of his eyes twitched, "The Myriad Buddhas Sect is the number one Buddhist holy land, filled with countless experts and laden with traps. If you dare to try and snatch a Shariputra, they will not hesitate to kill you."
"Kill ? Aren't you exaggerating a bit! Even if I can't win, I should be able to retreat in one piece."
"The horrors of the Myriad Buddhas Sect are beyond your imagination! It's a blessing they remain hidden from the world, otherwise... who rules the Human Territory might be up for debate!"
"Is it really that formidable?"
"Far more formidable than you can imagine! Ah, I'm regretting now, regretting telling you of the existence of the Myriad Buddhas Sect... With your recklessness... you're sure to anger the Myriad Buddhas Sect, and if they discover it was who inford you... then I am dood," Dongguo Heixin said, both anxious and angry.
