(Liubo Island)

This island is really strange.

There's no one

or a bird in sight.

There's something you don't know.

This is one of

the volcanic islands in the East Sea.

Lava eruptions leave no vegetation alive.

Its Master Xue Qingyi keeps a low profile.

Few hear about him.

You're pretty knowledgeable.

This place is quite peculiar.

Stay alert.

I feel someone's been following us.

From the moment we landed,

we've been trailed.

(The Legend of Heroes)

=Duel on Mount Hua=

(Adapted from Jin Yong's novel, The Legend of the Condor Heroes)

=Nine Yin True Sutra= =Episode 3=

(Xue Qingyi, Master of Liubo Island)

Are you really

disciples of Huang Yaoshi,

the Eastern Evil from Taohua Island?

Mr. Xue.

We indeed come from Taohua Island.

I have

long admired Mr. Huang.

Anyway, what brings

you all here?

We hear Liubo Island

abounds with exotic plants.

We came for a Tinder Flower.

You're quite well-informed.

The Tinder Flower only grows

on Liubo Island.

However,

since Mr. Huang wants it,

I shall present it.

We didn't come in vain.

The juice of the Tinder Flower

is medicinal.

The juice should be extracted

upon the flower blooms.

The flower will bloom

in two or three days.

You may stay here temporarily

and await the blooming.

Thank you, Mr. Xue.

We'll trouble you then.

Take these guests to rest.

- Yes. - Yes.

The smell is overwhelming.

I've never seen them.

It's kind of bleak.

You guys must be tired from travelling.

The food is ready.

Thank you

for your warm hospitality.

(Feng Mofeng)

Please enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

He is so hospitable.

He prepared all this food for us.

Let's...

Chaofeng.

What are you doing?

Don't you find this strange?

Why would he

give us the Tinder Flower freely?

Because he admires our Master,

the Eastern Evil,

and wants to befriend him.

You believe whatever he says?

- That's true. - Chaofeng.

It's just a flower.

Moreover,

no matter what it is,

our Master deserves to have it.

Mr. Xue

has remained secluded on Liubo Island.

Few hear about him.

But he has no notorious reputation.

Chaofeng,

you needn't suspect everyone

of being evil.

This world

is full of hypocritical people.

You haven't encountered them

because you're lucky.

Once it happens, you'll be doomed.

Stop arguing.

This place is strange.

Stay cautious.

I've tested the food.

It's not poisonous.

See?

I was right.

Chaofeng.

Chengfeng, how could you speak to her like that?

What I said wasn't wrong.

The food was tested.

It's not poisonous.

But some poisons can't

be detected by silver needles.

We can't be too careful.

Chaofeng's suspicion isn't unfounded.

I'll go check.

Why didn't you tell me before?

You didn't ask.

In such a short time,

your martial arts skills

have improved a lot.

Why are you here?

Don't you talk about my malicious speculation

with them?

I agree with your guess.

I don't think Xue Qingyi is a good man.

To gain something,

you must first give.

If he truly admired our Master,

why hasn't he visited Taohua Island?

Exactly!

When dealing with hypocrites,

we can't be too careful.

Sometimes, naive kindness

could kill us.

They grew up

on isolated Taohua Island.

They remain simple,

while you and I have experienced a lot.

You haven't

eaten anything yet.

I'm not hungry.

Take this as Chengfeng's apology.

Don't be angry anymore.

I'm leaving.

Slow down.

Slow down, and don't choke.

So annoying!

So, are we eating or not?

Take a gamble!

Perhaps we should take antidotes

before we eat.

It would ensure safety.

Lingfeng, take it.

Are you crazy?

Who takes antidotes

before eating poison?

In my opinion,

let's eat without suspicion.

If they think

we distrust them,

it'll jeopardize our mission.

If we eat

and get poisoned...

Stop arguing!

We'll eat in turn.

If anything happens,

someone can assist.

Good idea!

- Me first! - Me first!

Fine! You first!

Let's eat then. No fear!

Go ahead.

Sure.

I'll eat too.

Why are you staring at me?

Want to escape?

How dare you!

You're doomed.

Where can you run to?

You'll be Master's slave forever.

Who's there?

Two adults bully a child?

Shame on you!

Thank you so much.

Who are you?

I'm Feng Mofeng.

Where's your family?

My entire family

was enslaved by the Xue Qingyi.

Later,

they all died horribly as drug testers.

My escape attempts all failed.

Your companions

have been taken as drug testers.

Go save them quickly!

Mianfeng.

Chengfeng.

Xue Qingyi!

Let us out!

Welcome to my place.

Chaofeng was right.

You're no good person.

There was clearly no poison

in the food.

How did you manage it then?

My Master is known as the Unorthodox Herbalist.

He poisons without a trace.

Poisoning food

is beneath his methods.

It disgusts him.

Exactly!

The real poison source

is the Evil Flower.

The meal itself is good.

When combined with the flower's fragrance,

(Ancient Herb)

it becomes the most potent drug.

That's a cheap shot.

You are so despicable.

My title as Unorthodox Herbalist

isn't earned through healing the sick.

If you want something,

you must pay the price.

What do you want?

The greatest poison lies in mental manipulation.

I'm developing the Emotions Powder.

Anyone poisoned by this,

even the greatest martial masters,

will fall under my mental control.

This formula contains 49 toxic ingredients.

These seven poisonous herbs are just the first layer.

Ordinary people can't even withstand it.

Only powerful martial artists

can endure it.

Only they qualify to be my drug testers.

The three of them

are imprisoned in the poison lab for experimentation.

Mofeng,

we have to rescue them.

How do we enter that lab?

The poison lab

is heavily guarded.

It's filled with poison traps inside.

To prevent outsiders,

apart from Xue Qingyi,

Qinghong and Qingpeng,

no one can enter freely.

Qinghong and Qingpeng aren't threats.

If we lure Xue Qingyi away from the poison lab,

we'll be able to save them.

How do we lure Xue Qingyi

away from the poison lab?

If I want to fight,

enemies in defensible places

will have to take it

when I attack their vital points.

We'll strike where he must defend.

I thought you were merely

ordinary martial artists,

but I didn't expect

your martial arts

to be so unique.

This makes you

perfect drug testers.

How dare you commit

such heinous acts!

You're unworthy to be a healer!

What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - Lingfeng.

Lingfeng! What are you doing?

What do you want?

I haven't felt fear in a long time.

Besides the poison lab,

what else does Xue Qingyi value?

Apart from the poison lab,

he values the alchemy chamber.

That's where he keeps

his most precious herbs and formulas.

But the alchemy chamber

is like an iron rampart.

Not even a fly can enter.

Alchemy?

(Ancient Herb)

One day,

I'll create the most potent poison

in the entire world.

I'll make the entire martial world

submit to me.

- Found them? - No.

Take him to our Master.

Yes.

Master, the alchemy chamber is in trouble!

The furnace must have exploded.

Master, I've caught a guy.

The other won't escape.

Take him in first. Guard this place.

Yes.

- You guys, come fight the fire! - Yes!

- You two stay here. - Yes.

Come on.

Get inside.

My Master's poison lab

is the most secure place in the world.

You want to rescue people?

That's pure delusion.

So what if you saw it?

Do you think you'll leave alive?

Go!

Are you okay?

Your invention actually worked.

Without getting close,

I blew up the alchemy chamber.

It's simple.

The sulfur and saltpeter

were mixed with charcoal.

Let's go save them now!

Lingfeng, are you there?

- Can you hear me? - Chengfeng, Mianfeng.

Lingfeng.

Chengfeng, Mianfeng.

Lingfeng.

Chengfeng, Mianfeng.

Chengfeng.

Save them!

Chengfeng.

Mianfeng.

Wake up!

Mianfeng.

Lingfeng.

Mianfeng. Wake up!

- Mianfeng. - Lingfeng.

- Mianfeng. - Lingfeng.

Chaofeng.

Xuanfeng.

They'll return soon.

We need to leave quickly.

Come back to rescue them later.

Alright.

Take those drugs with us

in case they harm people.

Let's go.

Go!

Thankfully, you two arrived in time.

Otherwise,

we would've...

Chaofeng.

I'm sorry.

I made a mistake.

I trusted

that hypocritical man,

endangering Lingfeng and Mianfeng.

In the end,

you put aside past grudges.

We're doing what we should.

Fellow disciples are like siblings.

Supporting each other is our duty.

No need to thank us.

His poison techniques are formidable.

What should we do?

We can't return empty-handed.

Let's eliminate the scum together,

get the Tinder Flower,

and return.

Among them,

only Xue Qingyi uses poison

in unpredictable ways.

If we can subdue Xue Qingyi,

success will be ours.

Xuanfeng.

Can you

modify the explosives for close combat?

Well...

Perhaps Chengfeng can do it.

Master.

Found them?

They are quite cunning.

We've searched the island,

but we found no trace of them.

No boats are missing.

They haven't left.

Search everywhere

to find them!

Attack!

Kill them.

What did you do to them?

I tested

my newly developed poison on them.

Now, their combat power is enhanced.

They're obedient

and fearless of death.

They're perfect killing machines.

They are your disciples.

They should be proud

of being my drug testers.

You're insane!

For this alone,

you deserve death.

Show me what you've got.

A whistle signal!

Their minds are controlled.

Mianfeng, sleeve arrows!

Xue Qingyi escaped.

Thankfully, we're safe.

We are

finally free.

We'll never be separated.

We must pursue Xue Qingyi.

The Tinder Flower's blooming.

We need to obtain it swiftly.

Is this the Tinder Flower?

Chaofeng, let me do it.

Be careful!

According to my intelligence,

Mount Hua

honors Huang Yaoshi as one of the Five Greats.

After seeing you all,

I think Huang Yaoshi is not that powerful.

We play fair

to get what we have.

A sneaky man like you

who uses poison has no right to judge.

You came

for the Tinder Flower.

Stop pretending to be righteous.

That's the Tinder Flower.

Come and take it yourselves.

This door and lock were crafted

with iron by Feng Asan.

I have the key.

Apart from me,

Feng Asan was the other one who could open it.

Yet he's already dead.

You'll never get in.

We can't go in, and you can't get out.

Let's see who will win.

The Tinder Flower is blooming.

This flower

blossoms once every 19 years.

That's because on my island,

the magma below only surges

once every 19 years.

Only the intense heat

of this magma

can make the Tinder Flower bloom.

The underground magma

is about to erupt.

You all

either give up the Tinder Flower

and leave immediately

or stay here and await death!

Xue Qingyi!

Open this door if you dare!

Only the area behind this door is safe.

I can open up this lock.

How do you have a key?

My grandfather gave it to me.

My grandfather was Feng Asan.

He anticipated you'd silence him,

so he secretly made a duplicate for me.

The Tinder Flower is mine!

It's...

Come here!

Oh no! The volcano's erupting!

Reborn through fire.

This is the Tinder Flower.

Give it to me!

Here you go.

Grandfather.

Mother, Father.

I've avenged your death.

Hurry up!

Master's wife can't wait.

- Done. Let's go! - Go!

- Quick! - Go!

Whose idea was this?

Mine.

Master.

I'm to blame.

It was my idea.

Master.

I led them.

I forced them to go.

Punish me, please.

Master.

As the first disciple, punish me.

Master, I forced them to accompany me to Liubo Island.

It's all...

It's all my fault.

Master,

the root cause lies with me.

I secretly read your letter.

You all stop arguing.

Master,

we were anxious to save Master's wife.

After Mianfeng learned from the letter

about the Tinder Flower,

we all felt

that no matter what,

we should get the flower for her.

Master,

I admit

I had selfish motives.

I thought if I could get this flower,

perhaps you

would personally teach me.

Madam.

I made a mistake.

Please punish me.

Master,

we were in danger

and nearly died.

Chaofeng saved us.

Without her warning,

we'd have fallen into Xue Qingyi's trap.

That's true, Master.

If Chaofeng hadn't been alert,

we'd have become drug testers

and died.

Master.

Although Chaofeng is a woman,

her courage

impresses us.

That's true, Master.

Chaofeng is amazing.

How did you suspect Xue Qingyi?

You're much better than Xuanfeng.

Wu Mianfeng.

Are you holding a victory celebration?

Master.

Who are you?

I...

Master, he is Feng Mofeng.

Thanks to him,

we came back alive.

My name is Feng Mofeng.

Sir, please accept me as your disciple.

Call him Master.

Master, please take me as your disciple.

Master.

Master.

Master, Madam has recovered.

What did you say your name was?

Feng Mofeng.

That's good.

No need to change your name.

Why still kneeling? All rise.

What does this mean?

He just left us like this?

Has Master forgiven us?

Master said he didn't need to change his name.

So?

Mofeng's accepted.

Accepted?

Accepted.

Should we keep kneeling?

Rise. It's settled.

I'm a senior now!

- I have a junior now! - Me too!

- Mofeng. - Mofeng.

Mofeng.

You're Master's disciple now.

You're now my junior.

Really?

- I have a junior! - Yes.

I'm now his disciple?

I have a junior brother!

He

accepted me!

I have a master now!

Chaofeng.

Thank you.

The Tinder Flower

has greatly improved my condition.

Tell me

what you experienced

on Liubo Island.

Nothing, Madam.

I never imagined

that I could

quietly

take a hot bath

like this.

Meeting you all

must be a blessing from my past life.

To repay your kindness,

even partially,

I, Mei Ruohua,

will do my best.

Mei Chaofeng.

Mei Chaofeng.

Chaofeng.

Let the past

remain in the past.

All previous suffering

has gone.

Here,

you may allow yourself vulnerability.

Wherever you go in the future,

remember

that the past is false.

There's no end

to memories.

I know

your former home is gone.

But from now on,

Taohua Island

will be your home.

We

will be your family.

(This attire really suits you.)

(You're pretty.)

(Dressed like this, you glow brighter.)

(Young ladies)

(shouldn't always fight and kill.)

(Relax properly)

(and dress up.)

(Make yourselves radiant.)

(It makes your life much more fun.)

Come on. Cheers.

- Come on. - Come on.

Bottoms up!

Chaofeng is here.

- Chaofeng. - Come quick!

Come on. Have a seat!

Come on.

Chaofeng.

You should smile more often.

It makes you look lovely.

Xuanfeng, that's my seat.

- Sit. - Chaofeng.

We owe our success to you.

Without you,

we might've been dead.

If any of them ever offended you before,

I'll apologize on their behalf.

What are you talking about?

We would apologize ourselves

if we made any mistake.

We don't need you.

Exactly! Come on!

To celebrate our adventure

and narrow escape!

And Master's wife finally

got the Tinder Flower.

Most importantly,

she's recovered.

What's more,

we have a new junior brother!

We also owe thanks to Mofeng.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- Let's drink! - Cheers!

Kids shouldn't drink alcohol.

Don't worry.

I can drink.

You can't.

- Just one sip! Please! - No way.

Getting the Tinder Flower wasn't

just my achievement alone.

Xuanfeng helped greatly.

Lingfeng and Chengfeng

also helped.

This mission

couldn't have succeeded without you guys.

Of course,

Mofeng helped too.

It's my pleasure.

Speaking of which,

raise your cup too, Mofeng.

Right!

Chen Xuanfeng.

What's wrong with men drinking?

- Cheers! - Alright, cheers!

Chen Xuanfeng.

He has water.

- That's not important. - Let's drink!

You guys,

I'm so glad to meet you all.

Drink at your pace. I'm finishing mine.

At our pace?

Yaoshi,

look how happy they have been

since Chaofeng came to the island.

Lingfeng never drinks casually.

Normally, he drinks

- out of jars! - Exactly!

- Xuanfeng. - Good.

You drink with Lingfeng.

Let's drink out of jars.

We won't drink.

How about you two drink together?

Let's drink!

I just want you to be happy.

That's all I want.

Exactly!

- Come on. - Cheers!

Drink up!

Let's drink!

Lingfeng, I'll drink with you.

I truly love days like this.

Come on, drink!

Don't blame the kids too much.

Mofeng, come on.

Raise your cup! Drink!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- Let's drink! - Cheers!

I don't blame them.

They did it all for you.

Mofeng.

Taohua Island is your home.

If anything happens,

come find me or Lingfeng.

I'm also here for you.

You're a big kid now.

Learn to take care of yourself.

Don't worry.

I'm tough.

I won't kick off my quilt.

Good.

Go to sleep now.

Let her go!

What's wrong?

What happened?

Aren't you a tough kid?

You're already a big kid.

Why are you crying?

I'm not crying.

I'm leaving.

Chaofeng.

Can you sing a song for me?

When there was thunder before,

my sister always sang to me.

That's how I could fall asleep.

Your sister could sing.

But I can't.

Don't wake Mofeng up.

What are you doing here so late?

To check on Mofeng.

Are you worried I can't take care of Mofeng?

I did think that way before.

But now,

I realize how terribly wrong I was.

Chaofeng.

You're even better than I imagined.

I have to go. Good night.

By the way,

the song you sang is lovely.

I like it.
