After the discussion ended that day, the Tianxuan Sect gained a genius who practiced both medicine and swordsmanship. His fame spread far and wide, and the heated discussion he sparked lasted for a long time.
As an eyewitness, Hu Jiu felt it necessary to pay a visit to this gifted man of destiny.
However, when he arrived, he happened to meet a young man with blue eyes.
The two looked at each other.
"You are not from my demon clan." Hu Jiu was certain of this. All the demons coming to Yunhua Realm this time were selected by him personally.
"I am not a monster." The young man glanced at him and said in a calm tone.
The tone sounds ordinary, but Hujiu is the demon king after all, and ordinary demons need to bow when they see him.
His eyes moved slightly, and with the help of his phantom pupils, Fox Jiu saw the boy's true appearance—it was actually the Green Phoenix Bird from the Medicine King Valley.
What is it coming here for
Could it be for Chu Qi as well
"Then please go first, sir." Hu Jiu took a step back and showed his humility.
"No, you go first." The young man hesitated for a moment, and quickly glanced at the gate of the courtyard. "I'm just passing by here, staying for a while, and will leave soon."
"?"
Fox Wine was completely confused, and couldn't quite guess what the boy was thinking. Since the other party had said so, he couldn't insist, so he went to the door and knocked.
The person who opened the door was Yan Jiuge.
"What's up?"
Although Yan Jiuge was not a law enforcer in the Yan family, his aura was no weaker than Yan Mingchao's. Just standing there made Hu Jiu subconsciously keep his distance.
"The demon tribe has a gift to present to you. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chu for breaking through the shackles of martial arts." As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Fox Jiu was very polite.
"Let's do it another day. Ah Qi is still resting."
"Uh… okay."
If he couldn't see the real master, he could visit again another day. Hu Jiu was not in a hurry. However, before he turned around and left, he found that the young man from Yaowang Valley was still standing there.
Driven by curiosity, Fox Wine cast an illusion to hide his body and continued to watch what happened next.
On the other side, Yan Jiuge refused the fox wine and turned back to the house.
"That blue bird is here again, Aqi, do you want to see him?"
Chu Qi paused and put the herbs back into the mustard seed space. "Xuan Er doesn't seem to want to see me, so I'd better not add to his troubles."
"Yan Chi said that the master of Medicine King Valley went to experience the tribulation." Yan Jiuge seemed to be thinking about something, "People who experience the tribulation will block their memories and enter the mortal world."
“…” Chu Qi fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that Xuan Er mistook me for the master of Yaowang Valley?"
“We cannot rule out this possibility.”
"If there were no evil spirits, the previous Valley Master should still be alive."
"The former Valley Master Qi Wusu? It is said that he successfully ascended to the upper realm eighteen years ago."
"ah?"
Chu Qi was a little confused. "Could it be that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley who experienced the tribulation is really my identity in this life?"
"Yeah, that's what I guessed too." Yan Jiuge nodded.
"Then I'll go talk to Xuan Er and make him feel more at ease." Chu Qi sighed.
*
Outside the house, Xuan Er was hesitating. After discovering Chu Qi's identity, he wanted to find him as soon as possible. But the Valley Master, who was in the midst of a catastrophe, had no memory of the Medicine King Valley.
Before the previous Valley Master ascended to heaven, he also issued an order that the current Valley Master should not be actively searched for.
"..." Before knowing whether the Valley Master has lifted the seal, we should remain observant.
Xuan Er came to this answer.
When he subconsciously began to wander around the gate of the courtyard, the door that was originally closed opened from the inside without any warning.
The person who opened the door was Chu Qi.
"!"
Xuan Er opened his eyes wide and was suddenly at a loss.
"Come in and talk, Xuan Er."
"I... I... Valley Master, do you remember everything?" Hearing Chu Qi's words, Xuan Er stuttered, looking a little unbelievable.
"Remember a
Maybe you should tell me the rest."
The expression on Xuan Er's face turned excited, "This is my subordinate's luck." They have been waiting for this day for a long time.
Before the courtyard door closed, Chu Qi glanced outside and saw traces of illusion.
Apparently there was a fox demon watching the fun.
Never mind, it's nothing serious. Chu Qi retracted his gaze and closed the door.
Not far away, Fox Wine removed the illusion and revealed his figure.
This feeling of being useless as an illusion really makes the monster feel helpless.
"I didn't expect that this would be the cause and effect in the end. After Medicine King Valley is restored, it will be a great joy to the Yunyin Realm. This way, there will be no need to worry about having no place to seek medical treatment or medicine."
After Fox Jiu made some inferences, he felt a lot more relaxed.
*
Inside the house, Xuan Er informed Chu Qi about the current situation of Yaowang Valley.
"Nine days after the sacred tree went into seclusion, the great formation in Medicine King Valley has been silent. The previous Valley Master once said that only after you have experienced the calamity and returned to Medicine King Valley, the seal of the great formation can be unlocked."
"That may take some time. I have a lot of things to do in Yunhua Realm."
"Don't worry, it's up to you."
Xuan Er's face was full of joy. To them, as long as Chu Qi could finally return to Yaowang Valley safely, everything would be perfect.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest. Also, don't tell anyone about my identity for now."
Before leaving, Chu Qi gave some instructions.
Xuan Er naturally agreed and left immediately.
After that, Chu Qi pressed his forehead and sorted out the things he needed to do one by one. "First, I will practice both medicine and sword to revive the ancestor's legacy, and then I will inherit the Medicine King Valley to continue the medical tradition... There are many things to do."
"Fortunately, time is not urgent."
After sighing, Chu Qi turned his gaze to Yan Jiuge, "A Yan, are you busy recently?"
"Nothing serious."
The implication is that you can have some free time.
"Then why don't we go out and travel together." Chu Qi suggested.
After reaching adulthood, disciples of the Tianxuan Sect can apply to travel on their own. After all, opportunities and coincidences need to be pursued by individuals.
Yan Jiuge turned his head and saw Chu Qi's figure reflected in his eyes, "Where do you want to go?"
"As long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere."
"good."
*
A few days later.
When Yan Chi came to return the gold-eating beast, he found that the two had been out for a long time.
"They went out traveling and didn't take you with them." Yan Chi touched Xiao Jin's head, his tone slightly regretful.
"Instead of disturbing their love, you might as well continue to live with me. At least you will have food and drink every day. If you stay outside, you will have to sleep outdoors."
There was a lot of truth in what Yan Chi said. Xiao Jin hesitated for a while, but finally thought it through.
*
A few more months passed, and the Yunhua Realm and the Yunyin Realm were already interacting peacefully, and the teleportation arrays of the two realms could communicate freely with each other.
In such a situation, many disciples of the sects chose to travel. As a result, it seemed normal for the Tianxuan Sect's chief disciple and the only disciple who practiced both medicine and swordsmanship to travel.
On this day, the leader of Tianxuan Sect and the elders were having a small gathering.
"Is there any news? How are their cultivation levels now?" Elder Chang said with a serious expression.
“Hmm…” Elder Ming hesitated, unable to explain clearly.
“Junior Brother Ming, do you have any news? Don’t keep us in suspense!” Elder Qingyue also urged.
He was still thinking about Chu Qi's attainments in medicine.
"Why are you asking me? You can go and find out by yourselves." Elder Ming spread his hands.
Amid the arguments, the head of the sect spoke slowly, "Compared to the practice of the two of them, I received a wedding invitation from the Yan family of Yunyin Realm yesterday."
"Wedding invitation?" Elder Chang looked confused. "Is there any happy event in the Yan family?"
"It is also a happy event for our Tianxuan Sect." The head of the sect said helplessly.
He glanced at Elder Chang. His junior brother was obsessed with swordsmanship and never cared about worldly affairs. "That's why I summoned you here."
"We had a happy event in the Tianxuan Sect a few months ago. What else is there to celebrate now?" The emergence of a genius who is both a doctor and a swordsman is a great event that will go down in history. Elder Chang was very satisfied with this.
"It was the Taoist contract-making ceremony between Yan Jiuge and Chu Qi." The head of Tianxuan Sect answered truthfully.
"Ah?!" a surprised voice rang out.
Elder Qingyue had originally looked as if it had nothing to do with him, but now his eyes widened.
"This is not surprising. Yan Jiuge is a member of the Yan family. Chu Qi grew up with him since childhood. Even when they entered the Tianxuan Sect, the two of them were together to take care of each other."
"It went smoothly, and we developed feelings for each other, so we became Taoist companions."
The master's analysis is very reasonable.
"How long has it been since our Tianxuan Sect held a ceremony for Taoist couples to form a covenant?"
"It has never been held since our ancestors founded the sect."
“…” When the conversation reached this point, everyone in the Tianxuan Sect fell silent.
After a while, the head of the sect continued, "So, we should gather the disciples, prepare generous gifts, and go to the Yan family to participate in the ceremony."
"Master Brother, what you said is very true."
Elder Ming nodded and sighed, "No wonder I keep hearing rumors these days. Folk stories are writing about their love story."
"Is there such a thing? Brother Ming, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Elder Ming defended himself, "I'm afraid it's groundless, without any evidence, how can I say it? Anyway, now everyone is happy."

The night is boundless, with stars and the bright moon.
Yan Jiuge sat by the campfire, his eyes tinged with the sparkling light of fire.
Chu Qi leaned his head on Yan Jiuge's shoulder and took a nap. He closed his eyes, still thinking about the trivial matters of the past few days.
"It's not convenient to be too famous. Now people point fingers at me when I enter the main city."
"Today I have to sleep in the open air, and tomorrow I don't know where I will live."
Yan Jiuge listened to Chu Qi's complaints and said, "If you don't want to be disturbed, you can change your appearance."
"That's not necessary."
Chu Qi opened his eyes, looked at Yan Jiuge's profile, and said seriously, "I prefer to see your original appearance."
"… "
Yan Jiuge's eyes moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at Chu Qi.
The latter's ears were unconsciously stained red, and his face was still pretending to be calm, "Why are you looking at me like this suddenly?"
"because-"
The unfinished words disappeared on Yan Jiuge's lips. He kissed Chu Qi on the lips without any warning, replacing the answer with action.
After the kiss, Chu Qi's lips turned red and his eyes sparkled, "Why...you..."
"I was rude just now. Can I kiss you?"
"What? You obviously did! You kissed her before..."
"Of course I want another kiss."
Yan Jiuge's attitude was very calm. If Chu Qi looked more carefully, he could see the smile in his eyes.
You can lose the fight but not the battle. Chu Qi overcame the embarrassment in his heart, raised his head and kissed the corner of Yan Jiuge's lips.
This made Chu Qi feel more confident, "Okay, we're even now."
Yan Jiuge hummed, his voice lazy, "Aqi is right."
"... I won't talk to you about this. Anyway, I just wanted to ask if we will return to Yunyin Realm tomorrow?"
Chu Qi turned his eyes away and tried to change the subject.
Yan Jiuge did not expose him and continued his conversation, "Yes, Yan Chi is urging us to go back and complete the contract ceremony."
"The covenant ceremony? When did it happen?"
"Last time when I asked Yan Chi for the dual cultivation manual, he kept shirking his responsibility, saying that he could only give it to me after the contract ceremony."
Chu Qi's face gradually turned red, and it became brighter against the light of the bonfire. The matter of the dual cultivation book was just nonsense he talked about when he was drunk, but Yan Jiuge took it seriously and even asked the Yan family for it.
“I said at that time
How can you take my words seriously? You know I can’t drink much…”
Yan Jiuge doesn't think so, "People say that the truth comes out when you're drunk."
"Besides, I think Qi, you should give me a status."
Chu Qi: “…”
I can't win against Yan Jiuge at all.
Chu Qi muttered softly, with his ears burning, "Why do I feel that you are becoming more and more unreasonable in this life?"
"Really?" Yan Jiuge smiled, and then he sighed, "It's obvious that you, Qi, have become more soft-hearted."
There had never been an argument. No matter how embarrassed he was, his Ah Qi would always blush and change the subject.
“That’s because—” Chu Qi paused.
"I like you." Yan Jiuge took over his unfinished words, "Aqi, I like you."
"Me too." When Chu Qi said this, his expression was no longer awkward, but calm.
When they looked up again, they were looking at the stars together.
There have been many ups and downs along the way, and the stories in the retrospective volumes are full of twists and turns. Only with this last volume can we still have a peaceful life.
Fortunately, this life is still long, and they can still go together to see the many beautiful sights of the world and leave more beautiful memories.
