[Fate Chooses You]

00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:43,670
[Episode 16]

3
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,310
One piece of good news

4
00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:46,479
and one piece of bad news—

5
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:48,210
which do you want to hear first?

6
00:01:49,229 --> 00:01:49,890
The bad one.

7
00:01:51,509 --> 00:01:52,920
I went to Fangwai Mountain,

8
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,000
but I couldn't find

9
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,460
the magical artifact for blood renewal.

10
00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:57,710
And the good news?

11
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,460
I came back safely.

12
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:04,750
That really is good news.

13
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:07,480
What's the plan now?

14
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,750
Do you want to stay in Chongling Valley

15
00:02:08,750 --> 00:02:09,810
to rest for a while,

16
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,120
or continue looking

17
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,690
for a way to renew blood?

18
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:14,450
I've already found it.

19
00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:24,040
The next step is blood renewal.

20
00:02:24,430 --> 00:02:26,079
We found a clue.

21
00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:28,079
There is a magical artifact

22
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,400
called Sunblock.

23
00:02:30,079 --> 00:02:32,280
It was created by
a reclusive North Xiang Master—

24
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,750
Master Sanju.

25
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:35,030
This Sunblock

26
00:02:35,190 --> 00:02:36,630
feeds on essence blood.

27
00:02:36,930 --> 00:02:38,650
It was refined in a blood pool

28
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,000
for 81 days

29
00:02:40,430 --> 00:02:41,800
before it was completed.

30
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,060
The day it was refined,

31
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:44,329
it drained all

32
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,430
of Master Sanju's blood.

33
00:02:47,590 --> 00:02:48,630
Speaking of which,

34
00:02:48,630 --> 00:02:49,400
Grandmaster

35
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,450
has also seen Sunblock.

36
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:52,880
Back in the capital,

37
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,000
the heretical cultivator
who fought Miss Xin,

38
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,430
Mr. Gui,

39
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,680
also used this evil artifact.

40
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,260
I didn't expect Sunblock

41
00:03:03,260 --> 00:03:04,320
would be so useful.

42
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,240
If I had known,
I would have snatched it back

43
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,120
in the capital.

44
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:08,000
Do you remember

45
00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:09,150
the woman we met

46
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,630
at Safe Haven Inn?

47
00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:15,590
Both beauties

48
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,590
were pretty.

49
00:03:16,910 --> 00:03:18,520
Which one are you talking about?

50
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,050
The one named Zuo Yingying.

51
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,840
She is from the Qinghong Sect

52
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,120
and belongs
to the same lineage as Mr. Gui.

53
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,400
Now that Mr. Gui is dead,

54
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,079
Sunblock

55
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,640
is probably in her hands.

56
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Then let's go to North Xiang.

57
00:03:31,579 --> 00:03:32,510
When do we leave?

58
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:34,520
Don't come

59
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,880
with me this time.

60
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,000
No way.

61
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:39,040
Blood renewal is extremely risky.

62
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Qinghong Sect is powerful

63
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:42,190
and rooted in North Xiang too.

64
00:03:42,190 --> 00:03:43,329
Snatching Sunblock back from them

65
00:03:43,329 --> 00:03:44,220
won't be

66
00:03:44,310 --> 00:03:45,190
that easy.

67
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:47,800
So what if the Qinghong Sect

68
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,590
is powerful?

69
00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:49,590
It's not like I don't have

70
00:03:49,590 --> 00:03:50,920
helpers in North Xiang.

71
00:03:52,030 --> 00:03:54,079
Master has been in seclusion
at Liubo Temple for years.

72
00:03:54,079 --> 00:03:55,150
She must have broken through

73
00:03:55,150 --> 00:03:57,210
to the Great Completion stage by now.

74
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:00,360
But even with her help,

75
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,080
I still have to accompany you.

76
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,080
I created you.

77
00:04:03,150 --> 00:04:04,550
After I renewed my bones,

78
00:04:04,590 --> 00:04:05,710
my cultivation dropped,

79
00:04:05,710 --> 00:04:07,440
and you weakened along with me.

80
00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:11,390
You can't maintain human form for long.

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,870
You should find a place

82
00:04:13,150 --> 00:04:14,680
to rest and recover for now.

83
00:04:15,470 --> 00:04:16,000
But I...

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,459
Our powers are connected.

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,050
If I am in any danger,

86
00:04:20,250 --> 00:04:21,130
you can sense it

87
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,220
and come to help me,

88
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,870
right?

89
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:24,680
Don't worry.

90
00:04:32,990 --> 00:04:37,120
[Suwen Hall]

91
00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:35,830
Dr. Zhu Yu is not here today.

92
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:37,870
Senior Chen is seeing patients instead.

93
00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:39,040
Why are they all away?

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Only Dr. Zhu Yu

95
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,950
can treat my illness.

96
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:41,360
Exactly.

97
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,310
I wouldn't feel at ease

98
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:43,830
having someone else treat me.

99
00:04:43,830 --> 00:04:44,800
He has some personal business.

100
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,830
Doctors are humans too—

101
00:04:45,830 --> 00:04:47,040
they have their own affairs.

102
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,170
It just so happened.

103
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,130
Senior Chen is just as good.

104
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:52,000
Is Dr. Xu around then?

105
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,510
Dr. Xu will be here tomorrow.

106
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:54,680
If it's not too urgent,

107
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,430
you can stay in the valley for a day

108
00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:57,720
and come back tomorrow.

109
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,380
I heard that

110
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,630
the Medicine God, Su Taiyi,

111
00:04:59,630 --> 00:05:01,070
tried to make the Immortality Pill

112
00:05:01,070 --> 00:05:01,950
but failed.

113
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,510
The medicine furnace exploded,

114
00:05:03,510 --> 00:05:04,640
and he died of anger.

115
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,610
He died of anger?

116
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:07,040
How come I heard

117
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,970
he hung himself?

118
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,360
Stop talking nonsense.

119
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,360
He died of old age.

120
00:05:10,630 --> 00:05:11,800
A person who makes Immortality Pills

121
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,800
can die of old age?

122
00:05:13,390 --> 00:05:14,800
They all said the furnace exploded.

123
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,530
If you ask me,

124
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,450
there is no such thing

125
00:05:16,450 --> 00:05:17,680
as immortality in this world.

126
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,480
It's all a lie.

127
00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:21,000
Now that the heavenly path is broken,

128
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,260
no one can become a god.

129
00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:24,990
It's better to
just live a down-to-earth life.

130
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,920
Is the medical skill in Chongling Valley

131
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,800
any good even?

132
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,070
It seems

133
00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:29,720
quite unreliable to me.

134
00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:31,800
You come for immortality?

135
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:34,240
Aren't you here to treat hemorrhoids?

136
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:35,310
You are the one with hemorrhoids!

137
00:05:35,310 --> 00:05:36,310
Not hemorrhoids?

138
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:37,870
Then is it a venereal disease?

139
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:38,390
Shut up!

140
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:41,310
I just have a stomachache.

141
00:05:42,630 --> 00:05:43,240
Sirs,

142
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,420
which doctor are you looking for?

143
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Do you have a token?

144
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,560
-No.
-No.

145
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,310
I have them.

146
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,480
Follow me.

147
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,070
Come on.

148
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:50,830
-Let's go.
-Let's go.

149
00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:51,360
Let's go.

150
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:52,720
H-Hey.

151
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,360
How could they go ahead?

152
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,360
That's cutting the queue.

153
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,680
There's a queue.

154
00:05:56,620 --> 00:05:59,909
[Chongling Valley]

155
00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:19,160
Xin.

156
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:20,900
Let's talk.

157
00:06:28,190 --> 00:06:29,850
Are you returning to the sect?

158
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:34,400
A few days ago,

159
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,100
a major case occurred in the capital.

160
00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:40,850
To clear her late husband's name,
a woman from an immortal sect

161
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,950
killed 4 court officials
one after another.

162
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:44,240
This caused the 12 immortal sects

163
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,800
to issue several arrest warrants,

164
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,060
causing a huge uproar.

165
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:47,870
In the end,

166
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:50,560
she managed to overturn this old case

167
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,960
and clear the grievance.

168
00:06:52,270 --> 00:06:54,070
You have told me all this before,

169
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,780
and I have given you my answer.

170
00:06:56,630 --> 00:06:57,490
All right then.

171
00:06:59,510 --> 00:07:01,720
People took revenge on you for no reason,

172
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,040
and you almost died after being attacked
by the Spell of Utterance—

173
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,240
have you thought why?

174
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,270
What are you trying to say?

175
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:08,190
Just be direct.

176
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:09,650
What I want to say is...

177
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,240
Have you ever thought

178
00:07:12,310 --> 00:07:13,600
that you were cursed?

179
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:15,430
Because there is a magic

180
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,730
that can erase people's memories.

181
00:07:19,410 --> 00:07:20,310
You see your savior standing right here

182
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:21,710
and don't even say hello?

183
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,120
Do we know each other?

184
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,160
How could you?

185
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,310
If it weren't for me last time,

186
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:27,970
would you even still be alive?

187
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:28,800
Last time?

188
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,340
It's me,

189
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,930
who, with one strike...

190
00:07:33,070 --> 00:07:34,290
killed that centipede demon

191
00:07:34,290 --> 00:07:35,330
and saved your life.

192
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:35,990

I think you should know.

198

Then where should I go to find the answer?

This is my home.

00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,040
The doctor from Chongling Valley
sent you here

214

and asked me

215
00:08:55,790 --> 00:08:57,270

who came with you.

He is brewing medicine
for you in the yard.

It's okay.

230

Divine Doctor Su saved my life.

234
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,310
He set up a cenotaph for me

235
00:09:55,550 --> 00:09:57,080
and healed me in the basement.

236
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,080
For the past few days,

237

that I dared to get out of bed.

I originally wanted to find you,

241
00:10:03,510 --> 00:10:05,150
but the doctor from Chongling Valley

242
00:10:05,150 --> 00:10:07,550
knocked me out
and took me out of the valley.

243
00:10:11,550 --> 00:10:12,480

246
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,150
why did Su Taiyi

247
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:21,240
save us?

248
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,960
Divine Doctor Su is kind-hearted.

the ability
to bring the dead back to life?

But it's a pity.

It can't be wrong.

Many commoners went
to pay their respects to him.

262

386
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:33,960
Master,

387
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:34,960
let's go.

388
00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:36,440
Go?

389
00:14:36,910 --> 00:14:37,630
Go where?

390
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,480
They haven't paid me yet.

391
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:41,910
Look,

392
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:44,000
do they look like they have money?

393
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:44,550
Master,

394
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,870
North Xiang is so big,

395
00:14:45,870 --> 00:14:47,600
we can just find a place to stay.

396
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,790
You teach me swordsmanship,

397
00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:50,450
and I'll steal to support you.

398
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,480
You're so young
and already going down the wrong path.

399
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,150
If you dare to steal again,

400
00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:55,550
I'll chop off your hands.

401
00:14:55,550 --> 00:14:56,000
And,

402
00:14:56,790 --> 00:14:57,790
I'll say it again.

403
00:14:58,030 --> 00:14:59,270
I am not your master.

404
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,260
Don't call me Master anymore.

405
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,200
You may not want to be my master today,

406
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,800
but maybe you will tomorrow.

407
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:05,750
From now on,

408
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:06,870
I'll call you Master every day.

409
00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:07,670
Maybe one day,

410
00:15:07,690 --> 00:15:08,490
you'll agree.

411
00:15:13,550 --> 00:15:13,870
Go.

412
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:14,840
What is it, Zhanying?

413
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,790
Are you a man or not?

414
00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:16,390
Come help.

415
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:18,080
I won't go.

416
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:18,840
An.

417
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:19,510
Help me.

418
00:15:19,510 --> 00:15:19,840
I...

419
00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:20,550
Okay.

420
00:15:20,570 --> 00:15:21,670
She won't help you, either.

421
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:22,030
Okay.

422
00:15:22,510 --> 00:15:23,040
Let's go.

423
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:24,030
Let's go, Master.

424
00:15:24,030 --> 00:15:24,870
You stinky rabbit.

425
00:15:24,870 --> 00:15:25,390
Hurry.

426
00:15:25,510 --> 00:15:26,440
How dare you push me?

427
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,080
Get up.

428
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:32,200
[Tianyuan Sect]

429
00:15:44,980 --> 00:15:48,010
[Tianyuan Sect, Sima Randeng]

430
00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:51,350
[Tianyuan Sect, Han Yuanqi]

431
00:15:50,510 --> 00:15:51,670
Senior Brother Bai is back.

432
00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:53,200
Senior Brother Bai is back.

433
00:16:00,790 --> 00:16:01,590
Senior Uncle.

434
00:16:01,590 --> 00:16:02,720
Senior Brother Bai.

435
00:16:03,790 --> 00:16:04,270
Master.

436
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,440
Senior.

437
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,110
Senior Sima.

438
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,700
Please leave your swords here, seniors.

439
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,510
The Sect Leader is waiting in the hall.

440
00:16:21,510 --> 00:16:22,110
Everyone,

441
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,520
please follow me.

442
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:48,280
The way of nature is stillness,

443
00:16:48,390 --> 00:16:50,600
so all things are born.

444
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,720
The way of heaven and earth
is subtle and pervasive,

445
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,050
so yin and yang prevail.

446
00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:58,500
[Tianyuan Sect, Li Mofu]

447
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,790
Yin and yang interact,
and changes follow naturally.

448
00:17:05,550 --> 00:17:07,109
Greetings, Senior Brother Sect Leader.

449
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:07,589
Master.

450
00:17:09,349 --> 00:17:10,079
You're back.

451
00:17:15,030 --> 00:17:16,630
I failed to complete the task

452
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,970
and let down your trust.

453
00:17:18,069 --> 00:17:19,440
I am willing to be punished.

454
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,300
This matter is extremely tricky.

455
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:23,750
Even you, as our sect's
Heavenly Talent disciple,

456
00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:25,150
could not accomplish it.

457
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:26,569
If it were anyone else,

458
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:28,930
I'm afraid the result would be even worse.

459
00:17:29,030 --> 00:17:30,690
Don’t be too hard on yourself.

460
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,650
Just go back and get some good rest.

461
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:36,720
What?

462
00:17:37,110 --> 00:17:38,270
Do you still have something to say?

463
00:17:38,270 --> 00:17:39,070
On this trip,

464
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,550
I have one thing I don't understand.

465
00:17:41,550 --> 00:17:42,890
During this trip to Chongling Valley,

466
00:17:42,890 --> 00:17:44,000
I used the Gongshan Jade Tablet

467
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,200
in exchange for the Immortality Pill.

468
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,040
Back when the Immortality Pills
were first created,

469
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,310
each immortal sect had
to provide Chongling Valley

470
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:49,880
with manpower and resources,

471
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,160
and jade tablets were distributed
according to the contribution ratio.

472
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:52,960
But this time,

473
00:17:53,830 --> 00:17:54,590
I found

474
00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:56,310
that the distribution of the jade tablets

475
00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:57,170
is neither fair

476
00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:58,790
nor just.

477
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:03,960
You may get up now.

478
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,160
Tell me in detail.

479
00:18:09,550 --> 00:18:12,010
There are 30
Gongshan Jade Tablets in total,

480
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,550
distributed only
to the great immortal sects

481
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:14,680
and royal families.

482
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Yet, the labor and resources

483
00:18:16,590 --> 00:18:18,030
mostly come from the commoners.

484
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:19,550
They gave everything they had,

485
00:18:19,550 --> 00:18:21,750
yet could not get even half a jade tablet.

486
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:22,720
This is unfair.

487
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,800
Under the heavy Immortality Tax,

488
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,550
the people suffer beyond words.

489
00:18:26,550 --> 00:18:27,350
They can...

490
00:18:27,830 --> 00:18:28,880
barely survive.

491
00:18:29,270 --> 00:18:31,030
How could they possibly
dream of immortality?

492
00:18:31,030 --> 00:18:31,890
It is clear that

493
00:18:32,290 --> 00:18:33,400
everything the people have paid

494
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,800
for the Immortality Pill

495
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,130
was out of coercion.

496
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,920
This is unrighteous.

497
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,210
Unfairness,

498
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,140
unjustice,

499
00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:41,710
and unrighteousness...

500
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:43,550
if an elixir that defies heaven

501
00:18:43,550 --> 00:18:45,680
and brings disaster to the people is born,

502
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,920
is it right or wrong?

503
00:18:47,550 --> 00:18:49,310
Su Taiyi's failed in refining the pill,

504
00:18:49,310 --> 00:18:50,170
is it a blessing

505
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:51,830
or a curse?

506
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,590
Everything is debatable,

507
00:18:58,590 --> 00:19:00,510
why debate when there's nothing to debate?

508
00:19:00,510 --> 00:19:02,440
The Immortality Pill

509
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,920
failed to be refined.

510
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:06,570
This is something that hasn't happened.

511
00:19:07,030 --> 00:19:08,240
Naturally, we cannot judge

512
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,790
if it's good or bad

513
00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:11,730
before seeing how it unfolds.

514
00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:13,360
How can you be so certain

515
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,110
that the result must be bad?

516
00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:16,510
But now,

517
00:19:17,790 --> 00:19:19,390
the harm is already visible.

518
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:23,680
If there were flaws in heaven and earth,

519
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,680
what would you do?

520
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,780
Will you destroy them all at once?

521
00:19:33,790 --> 00:19:34,920
You are still young.

522
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,440
You do not yet know that

523
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,360
the world is not simply black and white.

524
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,160
Everything has pros and cons.

525
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,510
We must strive to preserve the benefit
while eliminating the harm.

526
00:19:46,510 --> 00:19:47,310
A blade is bad

527
00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:49,720
if it harms the innocent.

528
00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:52,550
But it's good if it suppresses violence
and brings peace.

529
00:19:52,550 --> 00:19:55,000
To the blade itself,
there is no difference.

530
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,440
Tools have no right or wrong.

531
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,920
It depends on how they are used

532
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,030
and by whom.

533
00:20:05,070 --> 00:20:07,350
Some may choke to death on rice,

534
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,330
yet we can't forbid the world from eating.

535
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,850
Some may have carriage accidents,

536
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,110
yet we can't forbid the world from riding.

537
00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:16,570
Good and bad are not fixed.

538
00:20:16,830 --> 00:20:18,680
Right and wrong have no fixed rules.

539
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,680
One must simply act according to

540
00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:23,770
what is appropriate
and refrain where it is not.

541
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,010
Yes, Sect Leader.

542
00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:31,310
Yes, Sect Leader.

543
00:20:31,550 --> 00:20:33,350
Yes, Sect Leader.

544
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,560
In my experience,

545
00:20:48,590 --> 00:20:50,030
this should be the place.

546
00:20:50,050 --> 00:20:51,510
We can also take this road.

547
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,350
Let me see.

548
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,140
This place.

549
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,310
Stop pointing randomly.

550
00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:57,040
Listen to me.

551
00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:57,790
Stop giving blind orders.

552
00:20:57,790 --> 00:20:58,390
Look here.

553
00:21:00,450 --> 00:21:01,550
You don't understand at all.

554
00:21:01,550 --> 00:21:02,550
Just listen to me.

555
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,880
Dry flatbread again?

556
00:21:13,030 --> 00:21:14,590
We're lucky to have something to eat.

557
00:21:14,590 --> 00:21:15,880
We didn't bring enough rations.

558
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,540
We'll have to buy more
when we return to the city.

559
00:21:22,270 --> 00:21:24,400
Normally, we're n the same situation.

560
00:21:24,550 --> 00:21:25,610
You were hired too.

561
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:27,150
And you're a cultivator.

562
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,510
And you are doing manual labor every day

563
00:21:30,510 --> 00:21:31,760
and eating this stuff,

564
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,350
yet you're still in such a good mood?

565
00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:34,350
What else can I do?

566
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,440
I'm already here.

567
00:21:47,310 --> 00:21:48,030
I know them.

568
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,550
You'll see once you
spend some time with them.

569
00:21:50,550 --> 00:21:51,750
They're good people.

570
00:21:53,030 --> 00:21:54,030
A bunch of paupers.

571
00:21:54,030 --> 00:21:55,240
They're poorer than I am.

572
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,370
How good can they be?

573
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,060
Where is An?

574
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:51,880
Ghost!

575
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:52,840
Ghost!

576
00:22:53,550 --> 00:22:54,000
Ghost!

577
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,000
Master.

578
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,160
Master.

579
00:22:57,270 --> 00:22:57,790
Master.

580
00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,400
Master.

581
00:22:59,550 --> 00:23:00,410
That coffin...

582
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,070
there's a ghost in it!

583
00:23:02,510 --> 00:23:04,000
What nonsense are you talking about
in broad daylight?

584
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,400
There's a person in the coffin.

585
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,000
Of course!

586
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,590
What else would be in a coffin?

587
00:23:07,590 --> 00:23:09,000
There's a living person in it!

588
00:23:07,870 --> 00:23:09,220
[Wei Chi] [Chen Fen]

589
00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:09,980
He kept moving

590
00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:11,290
and banging on the lid.

591
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:11,860
Master,

592
00:23:12,230 --> 00:23:13,600
kill him with your sword quickly!

593
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,460
There are no ghosts in this world.

594
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,340
Could it be that

595
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,270
you're trying to trick Hero Mei

596
00:23:18,270 --> 00:23:19,310
into taking you as his disciple again?

597
00:23:19,310 --> 00:23:20,370
It's true!

598
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,110
I really saw it with my own eyes!

599
00:23:22,110 --> 00:23:23,160
Fine.

600
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,240
You saw it.

601
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,000
Come on.

602
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,800
Let's eat the flatbread.

603
00:23:35,530 --> 00:23:38,460
[Lingji Mountain]

604
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,400
Ouch! Ouch!

605
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:52,930
Ouch!

606
00:23:54,510 --> 00:23:55,200
Come in.

607
00:24:06,550 --> 00:24:07,070
Master.

608
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,850
I called you here

609
00:24:10,350 --> 00:24:12,200
to do something.

610
00:24:13,030 --> 00:24:14,070
A few days ago,

611
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,070
a group of humans turned demonic

612
00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:17,760
[Lingji Mountain, Lin An]

613
00:24:16,350 --> 00:24:18,400
infiltrated our sect's Scripture Pavilion,

614
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,530
stole our classics,

615
00:24:19,550 --> 00:24:20,880
and hurt our disciples.

616
00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:22,550
The items stolen
by those demonic cultivators

617
00:24:22,550 --> 00:24:23,950
are of great importance.

618
00:24:24,030 --> 00:24:25,760
I fear they have other motives.

619
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,960
These people are currently

620
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,290
fleeing to North Xiang.

621
00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:30,880
Leave immediately,

622
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,960
meet up with the disciples
of the Sun Moon Cavern,

623
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,440
and capture them together
to retrieve the items.

624
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,170
Understood.

625
00:24:36,610 --> 00:24:38,250
They stole from the Scripture Pavilion

626
00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:39,180
and hurt people?

627
00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:40,640
No, Dad.

628
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,060
I want to go too.

629
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,400
Don't cause trouble.

630
00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:44,720
You're good for nothing

631
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,960
and only make things worse.

632
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,030
Have you already forgotten

633
00:24:47,030 --> 00:24:48,110
why I punished you?

634
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,620
In the capital,

635
00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:51,100
I-I wasn't running away.

636
00:24:51,410 --> 00:24:52,890
It was an emergency then.

637
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,180
I had other important matters to handle.

638
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,800
Junior Jiang can testify for me.

639
00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,920
It was true.

640
00:25:01,590 --> 00:25:03,050
Other important matters?

641
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,030
Do you really think

642
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,160
I know nothing?

643
00:25:09,550 --> 00:25:10,200
Ji.

644
00:25:10,830 --> 00:25:13,110
You've made great progress
in cultivation recently

645
00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:14,550
and are close to the Golden Core stage.

646
00:25:14,550 --> 00:25:16,480
You must not lower your guard

647
00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:18,640
and ruin your cultivation.

648
00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:19,510
Yes.

649
00:25:23,270 --> 00:25:23,590
Dad.

650
00:25:23,620 --> 00:25:24,860
Just stay at home

651
00:25:25,110 --> 00:25:26,770
and reflect on your mistakes.

652
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,500
Junior sister.

653
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,240
Junior sister.

654
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,700
Junior Jiang, wait for me.

655
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,720
Junior Jiang.

656
00:25:47,110 --> 00:25:48,590
You go to North Xiang first.

657
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:49,720
Wait for me at the pass.

658
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,180
I'll find you in a few days.

659
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,270
Didn't Master ask you

660
00:25:52,270 --> 00:25:53,400
to reflect on your mistakes?

661
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:54,000
Then I will

662
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:55,070
sneak out.

663
00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:56,960
The North Xiang Desert is hard to traverse

664
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:57,960
and treacherous.

665
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,750
How could I let you

666
00:25:58,750 --> 00:25:59,680
go alone?

667
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,550
I can handle this alone.

668
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,410
Don't go and cause trouble.

669
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,400
What do you mean by causing trouble?

670
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,400
I'm going to help.

671
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,030
Senior, give it a rest.

672
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,000
Don't go running away
at the last minute again.

673
00:26:14,070 --> 00:26:15,480
None of you believes me

674
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,350
or respects me.

675
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,260
When I catch those demonic cultivators,

676
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,140
we'll see what you say.

677
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,440
Master.

678
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,240
Don't you think that coffin

679
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,830
has something wrong with it?

680
00:26:43,830 --> 00:26:45,920
That coffin keeps making strange noises.

681
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:46,920
Maybe there is

682
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,270
something unclean inside.

683
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,920
I'm ranked second
on the List of Top Martial Artists.

684
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,380
I even dare to kill demons.

685
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,280
You think I'm scared of this?

686
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,200
The worst that can happen
is losing my life.

687
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,930
If you really scare me to death,

688
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,460
I will fight you as a ghost.

689
00:27:37,070 --> 00:27:37,720
Come.

690
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,580
Don't pull me. What are you doing?

691
00:27:41,590 --> 00:27:42,640
Look for yourself.

692
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,440
What's wrong?

693
00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:45,160
Can't you see?

694
00:27:45,790 --> 00:27:47,390
There's no one in the coffin.

695
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,920
He can't stay in there all the time.

696
00:27:51,830 --> 00:27:53,960
Do you know what you are talking about?

697
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,200
He got tired of lying there,

698
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,530
so he went out for a walk.

699
00:27:58,030 --> 00:27:59,090
Isn't that normal?

700
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,200
Master Blade?

701
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,580
Who are you?

702
00:28:35,790 --> 00:28:36,590
Don't resist.

703
00:28:36,590 --> 00:28:37,390
Don't scream.

704
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,030
It's you?

705
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,440
You know me?

706
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,130
Answer the questions I ask you next

707
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,310
truthfully.

708
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:50,350
Okay.

709
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,390
[Lu Huai]

710
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,380
This person is called Lu Huai.

711
00:29:06,030 --> 00:29:07,360
Can you draw a portrait?

712
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,550
I can.

713
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,920
Draw a portrait of Lu Huai.

714
00:29:14,510 --> 00:29:15,160
Okay.

715
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:23,540
Senior Sister.

716
00:29:30,550 --> 00:29:31,440
You knew it?

717
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,070
I went to the capital
before I went to Chongling Valley.

718
00:29:37,070 --> 00:29:38,310
I guessed something.

719
00:29:39,070 --> 00:29:40,930
But I couldn't be sure at the time.

720
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,060
Why did he lie to me?

721
00:29:42,550 --> 00:29:44,550
You'll have to ask Mr. Lu about that.

722
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,850
I bought this coffin

723
00:29:56,030 --> 00:29:57,480
in the Central Plains.

724
00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:59,720
I planned to bring it back to North Xiang,

725
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,030
so I could be buried
in it after I pass away

726
00:30:02,270 --> 00:30:03,400
and rest in peace.

727
00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:05,830
But there's a rule in our hometown.

728
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,110
This coffin can't be empty on the way.

729
00:30:08,110 --> 00:30:08,770
Otherwise,

730
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,240
unclean things might

731
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:10,970
move into it.

732
00:30:11,220 --> 00:30:12,150
We must find someone

733
00:30:12,150 --> 00:30:13,200
who has strong yang energy

734
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200
to lie inside all the way.

735
00:30:17,270 --> 00:30:18,470
How much did he pay you

736
00:30:18,550 --> 00:30:19,950
for such a bad luck thing?

737
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:21,470
I'm not taking any money.

738
00:30:22,510 --> 00:30:23,970
He doesn't give you money?

739
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,570
He gives me enough wine.

740
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,100
That's why they say
Master Lu is benevolent.

741
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,220
He calls you Master Lu.

742
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,300
Your surname is Lu?

743
00:30:35,030 --> 00:30:35,400
Yes.

744
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,940
My name is Lu Qianqiao.

745
00:30:37,310 --> 00:30:38,200
Autumn Crimson Blade

746
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,600
is the name I go by
in the martial arts world.

747
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,070
I'll call you Lu from now on.

748
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:44,540
As you wish.

749
00:30:45,550 --> 00:30:46,590
Where is Chu Ying?

750
00:30:46,830 --> 00:30:48,030
Why isn't he with you?

751
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,620
He is busy with something.

752
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,200
Lu,

753
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,590
I still can't figure it out.

754
00:30:56,590 --> 00:30:57,480
You help him

755
00:30:58,550 --> 00:30:59,750
without taking a fee,

756
00:30:59,790 --> 00:31:00,790
just for the wine?

757
00:31:02,310 --> 00:31:04,030
I was injured a while ago,

758
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,680
and my body hasn't completely recovered.

759
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,680
I also have urgent business
in North Xiang.

760
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,480
I was planning to join
a caravan heading to North Xiang.

761
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,550
But didn't expect to run into them.

762
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,960
Actually, this coffin
is quite comfortable.

763
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:17,890
If you are tired,

764
00:31:18,110 --> 00:31:19,640
why not come in and lie down?

765
00:31:20,750 --> 00:31:21,790
Thanks for your concern,

766
00:31:21,790 --> 00:31:22,590
but no thanks.

767
00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:25,970
What about you?

768
00:31:26,370 --> 00:31:27,750
Why did you come to North Xiang?

769
00:31:27,750 --> 00:31:28,240
Me?

770
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,200
It's a long story.

771
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,590
The hardships
I've suffered on this journey

772
00:31:34,590 --> 00:31:36,590
are more than the sand on the ground.

773
00:31:38,590 --> 00:31:39,750
These broke guys

774
00:31:40,110 --> 00:31:41,400
not only did they not pay me,

775
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,510
but they also spent
my money for meals on the way.

776
00:31:43,510 --> 00:31:44,680
When the money was gone,

777
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,720
I had to work as a laborer to earn money.

778
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,240
To think that I, Lord of Rust-Sword,

779
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,510
was once a well-known figure

780
00:31:49,510 --> 00:31:50,970
in the martial arts world.

781
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,330
To end up relying
on physical labor to eat.

782
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,890
Look at their poor appearance.

783
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,480
They are as poor as church mice,

784
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,680
yet they hire guards.

785
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,810
I wonder who would want to rob them.

786
00:32:14,750 --> 00:32:15,880
The Immortality Tax

787
00:32:16,350 --> 00:32:17,610
is charged per person.

788
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,320
From newborn babies

789
00:32:19,350 --> 00:32:20,550
who do nothing but cry

790
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,240
to the elderly too frail and bleary-eyed

791
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,570
to care for themselves,

792
00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:24,830
no one was exempt.

793
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,890
To evade the tax,

794
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:26,920
many families

795
00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:29,070
stopped marrying and having children.

796
00:32:29,070 --> 00:32:30,200
The elderly, unwilling to burden

797
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,130
their families,

798
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,130
took poison to end their lives
one after another.

799
00:32:34,550 --> 00:32:36,440
Others abandoned
their homes and livelihoods

800
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,960
just to survive!

801
00:32:38,510 --> 00:32:39,710
All beings are equal,

802
00:32:40,110 --> 00:32:41,350
yet humans are divided into
high and low, noble and base,

803
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:42,810
and many different ranks.

804
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,880
Is this the Way of Great Unity

805
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,680
you pursue?

806
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,360
Xin...

807
00:32:49,510 --> 00:32:50,110
Do you still believe

808
00:32:50,110 --> 00:32:51,640
the Crazy Taoist's prophecy?

809
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,960
He said that among the Heavenly Talents

810
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,220
born on September 9th,

811
00:32:54,350 --> 00:32:55,830
there will be the savior of the world.

812
00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:56,790
I really used to believe

813
00:32:56,790 --> 00:32:58,190
that person would be you.

814
00:32:59,030 --> 00:32:59,880
Is this how you prepare

815
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,480
to be the savior of the world?

816
00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:08,790
[Bai Zongying's inner mind]

817
00:33:15,110 --> 00:33:15,790
Do you really believe

818
00:33:15,790 --> 00:33:16,790
what Master said?

819
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,100
Things themselves
are neither right nor wrong.

820
00:33:27,410 --> 00:33:28,590
It just depends on how they are used

821
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:29,590
and who uses them.

822
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,090
I hold a sharp blade.

823
00:33:31,830 --> 00:33:32,630
It can protect

824
00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:33,790
or harm.

825
00:33:34,350 --> 00:33:36,010
As long as it's used properly,

826
00:33:37,270 --> 00:33:38,720
it shouldn't be destroyed.

827
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,720
Even if this blade

828
00:33:40,350 --> 00:33:42,160
was forged from white bones

829
00:33:42,510 --> 00:33:43,830
and soaked in the blood

830
00:33:43,830 --> 00:33:44,750
of the people?

831
00:33:45,030 --> 00:33:46,070
The emergence of anything

832
00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:47,330
comes with sacrifice.

833
00:33:48,270 --> 00:33:50,240
There are over 10,000 herbs in the world.

834
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,880
Shennong tasted them one by one

835
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,510
and inevitably ate poisonous ones.

836
00:33:53,510 --> 00:33:55,240
Is that not a kind of sacrifice?

837
00:33:55,310 --> 00:33:56,170
Does sacrifice

838
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,930
have to be measured by numbers?

839
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,790
Does it only count when there are many,

840
00:34:00,790 --> 00:34:02,110
and not when there are few?

841
00:34:02,110 --> 00:34:04,040
Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs

842
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,880
and sacrificed himself,

843
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,070
yet the benefit was left to all mankind.

844
00:34:08,070 --> 00:34:10,000
When the Immortality Pills were refined,

845
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,130
who was sacrificed—

846
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,730
and who ultimately benefited?

847
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,590
Bai.

848
00:34:26,150 --> 00:34:26,960
Bai.

849
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,550
It seems

850
00:34:29,550 --> 00:34:31,409
you still haven't figured it out.

851
00:34:38,590 --> 00:34:39,250
I ask Master

852
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,730
to enlighten me.

853
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,030
You have followed me
in cultivation for many years.

854
00:34:52,030 --> 00:34:53,630
Though you are a Heavenly Talent,

855
00:34:53,630 --> 00:34:55,090
you are without arrogance

856
00:34:55,550 --> 00:34:57,450
and are diligent and focused in your cultivation.

857
00:34:57,450 --> 00:34:58,440
Yet precisely because

858
00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:59,510
of this focus,

859
00:34:59,710 --> 00:35:00,880
you are also most easily misled

860
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,410
by distorted arguments
and false doctrines.

861
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:07,800
But what they said

862
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:09,800
was really wrong?

863
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,710
Refining the Immortality Pills

864
00:35:11,710 --> 00:35:13,240
did indeed hurt the people.

865
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,460
Has immortal sects

866
00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:16,230
not made contributions

867
00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:17,160
and sacrifices?

868
00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:19,280
Everything is mutual.

869
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,650
The commoners
provide supplies for the immortal sects,

870
00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:24,780
and when the War Demon comes,

871
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,800
the immortal sects
fight bravely and protects them.

872
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,930
If we speak in truth,

873
00:35:28,550 --> 00:35:30,110
the sacrifices made
by immortal sects' disciples

874
00:35:30,110 --> 00:35:31,840
are no less than anyone else's.

875
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,590
The imperial court uses silver

876
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:35,990
to support soldiers to defend the country.

877
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,000
Does that not cost money?

878
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,510
But we paid,

879
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,330
and we received.

880
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:42,630
Then, as you said,

881
00:35:43,230 --> 00:35:45,400
if the Immortality Pills were given
to the commoners,

882
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,800
what would be the result?

883
00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:52,590
If a commoner took them,

884
00:35:53,150 --> 00:35:54,920
at most one person would survive.

885
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,590
But if it fell into

886
00:35:55,590 --> 00:35:57,110
the hands of our immortal sect,

887
00:35:57,110 --> 00:35:58,440
one person's power

888
00:35:58,710 --> 00:36:00,240
could protect a whole city.

889
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,440
Can't you tell

890
00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:03,630
which is more important?

891
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,420
It is good if the pills fall

892
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,710
into the hands of the strong.

893
00:36:07,710 --> 00:36:08,920
But what if this person

894
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:09,960
is not kind?

895
00:36:12,220 --> 00:36:13,820
If they fall into evil hands,

896
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,760
just take them back.

897
00:36:19,630 --> 00:36:20,190
Bai.

898
00:36:20,590 --> 00:36:21,990
Most things in this world

899
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,710
are like this.

900
00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:26,320
Where there is good,

901
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:27,590
there is evil.

902
00:36:28,030 --> 00:36:29,190
Where there is light,

903
00:36:29,190 --> 00:36:30,250
there is darkness.

904
00:36:30,820 --> 00:36:31,920
We can't stop moving forward

905
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,070
just because we are

906
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,020
afraid of bad results.

907
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,400
Even if you don't understand it now,

908
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,850
there's no need to fret.

909
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,320
Work hard

910
00:36:41,510 --> 00:36:42,920
and strengthen yourself.

911
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:43,760
Be the one

912
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:45,610
who can provide

913
00:36:45,630 --> 00:36:47,030
protection for the weak.

914
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,000
Thank you for your teachings, Master.

915
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:56,840
I understand.

916
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,210
I didn't expect your sword will

917
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,480
to reach such a level.

918
00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:34,670
Blending reality and illusion,

919
00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:36,280
condensing qi within the body—

920
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,340
truly impressive.

921
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,920
Congratulations
on advancing your cultivation

922
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,380
from Golden Core
to the peak of Nascent Soul.

923
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,380
Why are you looking for me?

924
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,520
Sect Leader is waiting
for you in Guiyuan Hall.

925
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,110
This time,

926
00:38:10,110 --> 00:38:11,640
you are going to North Xiang

927
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,670
to capture a group of demonic cultivators.

928
00:38:13,670 --> 00:38:14,930
Demonic cultivators?

929
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:16,960
After the God-Demon War,

930
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,110
the gods dissipated,

931
00:38:18,110 --> 00:38:19,710
and demons should
have been slaughtered entirely.

932
00:38:19,710 --> 00:38:22,110
How can there be demons
in the mortal realm?

933
00:38:22,750 --> 00:38:24,480
Demons are born from the heart.

934
00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:27,110
Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred,
love, malice, and desire

935
00:38:27,110 --> 00:38:28,510
all breed a demonic aura.

936
00:38:29,670 --> 00:38:30,630
Human desires

937
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,420
cannot be severed.

938
00:38:33,670 --> 00:38:35,030
This group of demonic cultivators

939
00:38:35,030 --> 00:38:36,070
stole Lingji Mountain's

940
00:38:36,070 --> 00:38:37,270
cultivation manuals

941
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,960
and murdered their disciples.

942
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:39,510
Now,

943
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,880
they have fled to North Xiang.

944
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,920
But they don't have immortal perception.

945
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,880
What's the use of stealing

946
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,500
the immortal sect's manuals?

947
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,030
They

948
00:38:50,710 --> 00:38:52,480
founded an evil sect

949
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,120
called Wushuang Society.

950
00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:57,550
They deeply hate the immortal sect.

951
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:58,760
They have also recruited

952
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,690
a large number of ignorant people,

953
00:39:00,910 --> 00:39:02,950
spreading evil teachings

954
00:39:03,490 --> 00:39:05,350
among the cities of the Human Race

955
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:06,770
to deceive the public.

956
00:39:07,620 --> 00:39:09,190
They even adopted a large number of

957
00:39:09,190 --> 00:39:11,250
children with immortal perception.

958
00:39:11,630 --> 00:39:13,630
They stole immortal cultivation methods

959
00:39:13,630 --> 00:39:15,280
for the children to practice,

960
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,680
acting as their helpers.

961
00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:18,050
Over the years,

962
00:39:18,710 --> 00:39:20,550
they have resisted the government

963
00:39:20,550 --> 00:39:23,000
and secretly
killed immortal sect disciples,

964
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,400
causing a lot of trouble.

965
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,960
They went to North Xiang this time

966
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,670
for a mantra.

967
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,480
That mantra is hidden in the Sihe Library

968
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:32,670
in Phoenix City.

969
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,360
It has the effect of confusing minds

970
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,630
and bewitching people.

971
00:39:36,630 --> 00:39:38,230
If they get their hands on it,

972
00:39:39,030 --> 00:39:41,360
I'm afraid it will cause a great disaster.

973
00:39:41,510 --> 00:39:43,770
By then, the world will be full of demons,

974
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,480
and our immortal sect
won't be able to kill them all

975
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,800
or wipe them out completely.

976
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,000
But this Sihe Library

977
00:39:49,230 --> 00:39:50,800
was built by the Qinghong Sect.

978
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,860
They have great power in North Xiang.

979
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:53,940
It doesn't matter.

980
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,510
I have already written
to the Qinghong Sect

981
00:39:55,510 --> 00:39:56,370
to notify them.

982
00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:58,280
Just go and do it.

983
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,240
I understand.

984
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,140
I will definitely stop
these demonized people.

985
00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:08,190
This time, I asked Randeng

986
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,150
to go with you.

987
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,840
He is about to advance to Nascent Soul

988
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,710
and has fought
with the demonic cultivators many times.

989
00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:16,710
He will definitely be of help to you.

990
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:17,800
Remember,

991
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,320
demonic cultivators
are best at disguising themselves.

992
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,510
They like

993
00:40:22,670 --> 00:40:24,090
to package themselves with a weak

994
00:40:24,090 --> 00:40:25,290
and kind appearance.

995
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:26,500
Then they use words

996
00:40:26,630 --> 00:40:28,230
to deceive people bit by bit.

997
00:40:29,230 --> 00:40:29,920
You

998
00:40:30,670 --> 00:40:32,510
must not be assimilated by them.

999
00:40:33,110 --> 00:40:34,510
To prevent any accident,

1000
00:40:34,710 --> 00:40:35,570
once captured,

1001
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:37,690
they are to be executed.

1002
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:39,440
Yes.

1003
00:41:09,740 --> 00:41:15,140
[Safe Haven Inn:
Your Safety is Guaranteed.

1004
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,810
What do you want to know?

1005
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,320
Who exactly is he?

1006
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:25,770
What is his name?

1007
00:41:26,110 --> 00:41:27,670
And what is his purpose in approaching me?

1008
00:41:27,670 --> 00:41:28,360
Name?

1009
00:41:30,710 --> 00:41:31,590
This...

1010
00:41:32,150 --> 00:41:33,280
I really don't know.

1011
00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:35,270
I only know his surname is Lu.

1012
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,880
So I don't know him

1013
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:38,620
any better than you do.

1014
00:41:39,370 --> 00:41:40,110
But there is one thing

1015
00:41:40,110 --> 00:41:41,280
I can be sure of.

1016
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,400
He bears absolutely

1017
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:44,660
no ill will toward you.

1018
00:41:45,540 --> 00:41:47,060
That day, he brought you,
who was severely injured,

1019
00:41:47,060 --> 00:41:47,920
back to the inn,

1020
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,820
and took care of you day and night.

1021
00:41:50,670 --> 00:41:51,400
Miss Xin,

1022
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,580
he is truly a very good person.

1023
00:41:54,670 --> 00:41:55,400
At least,

1024
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,280
he is very good to you.

1025
00:42:05,670 --> 00:42:06,530
Senior Sister.

1026
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:09,700
Senior Sister.

1027
00:42:13,150 --> 00:42:14,350
Eat it while it's hot.

1028
00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:16,440
That one is already burnt.

1029
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,170
Don't eat it.

1030
00:42:17,630 --> 00:42:18,230
It's fine.

1031
00:42:18,710 --> 00:42:20,040
I like eating this kind.

1032
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,260
Senior Sister.

1033
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,010
I just went to a nearby village,

1034
00:42:26,220 --> 00:42:27,220
spent some money,

1035
00:42:27,230 --> 00:42:29,150
and had them draw a map of North Xiang.

1036
00:42:29,150 --> 00:42:30,970
There are 3 roads
to North Xiang in total.

1037
00:42:30,970 --> 00:42:32,050
There is only one official road

1038
00:42:32,050 --> 00:42:33,480
for traveling merchants.

1039
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,840
It's this road to the south.

1040
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,150
But the distance is a bit far,

1041
00:42:36,150 --> 00:42:38,070
and we have to cross two mountain cliffs.

1042
00:42:38,070 --> 00:42:39,530
The north road is shorter,

1043
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,280
but it's all sandy paths

1044
00:42:41,590 --> 00:42:43,250
that are not easy to travel on.

1045
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:44,670
There is also a west road.

1046
00:42:44,670 --> 00:42:46,320
Its distance is longer
than the north road,

1047
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:47,880
but we can take half of the official road.

1048
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,150
And it is relatively easy to travel.

1049
00:42:49,150 --> 00:42:49,590
Okay.

1050
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,280
Then we‘ll head west.
