More than a month had passed since the peak of the Forbidden City; after exchanging martial arts with Gu Qing, Lu Xiaofeng had come early to Jiangnan to find Hua Manlou, while Gu Qing had settled in the capital for a time—now he had come here to treat Hua Manlou’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng was dressed in lavish attire, still carrying a hint of alcohol on his breath—he clearly had been living luxuriously at the Hua residence. Seeing Gu Qing, he was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard the Hua family lives in extravagant luxury, eats with refined taste—even the stable boy who steps outside looks like a wealthy young master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing teased: “Your appearance confirms it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and said: “Gu Daxia told me to feed the horses, so I fed the horses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concerned over whether Hua Manlou could regain his sight, Lu Xiaofeng was humbly subservient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing chuckled and introduced the old man standing beside him: “If there is one person in the world who can restore Hua Manlou’s sight, it must be Master Wu Ming. All the famed physicians combined are but a tiny stream beside the ocean compared to Master Wu Ming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing emphasized Wu Ming’s stature so Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou understood: “Your internal cultivation is still shallow—you see Master Wu Ming as a frog at the bottom of a well gazing up at the moon. But I, with my deep internal cultivation, know that seeing Master Wu Ming is like a mayfly gazing upon the blue sky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing heaped extravagant praise upon the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were struck with awe, realizing Gu Qing was warning them of the terrifying power of this old man—they respected him even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just a humble old man enjoying peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ming said calmly: “Gu Qing, your flattery is excessive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not excessive, not excessive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said: “Who stands atop the peak of martial arts? One glimpse of Wu Ming—and the Dao becomes empty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Wu Ming could not endure such flattery—he waved his hands repeatedly, signaling they should all enter the Hua residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng quietly observed the old man: his steps were calm and unhurried, yet seemed to shrink distance into nothing—each stride small, pace slow, yet he moved steadily ahead of them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing followed behind him; behind Gu Qing came Gong Sun Lan, Ouyang Qing, Xue Bing, Shangguan Feiyan, and Shangguan Xue’er—all brought into harmony under Gu Qing’s leadership, merging the Green Robe Society and the Red Shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the Hua residence, the group went to Hua Manlou’s pavilion. Wu Ming picked up a teacup to drink, and the others began casual conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng asked Gu Qing what had been happening in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing exciting—just that Mu Dao Ren took over the Quanzhen Sect, upsetting many in the capital.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing spoke of Mu Dao Ren: “Someone like Du Tongxuan has allied with several Quanzhen insiders to oppose him, giving Mu Dao Ren headaches. But Li Yanbei, by contrast, is quite cooperative—respectful and obedient toward Mu Dao Ren.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan had once made a wager, but after Gu Qing’s draw at the peak of the Forbidden City, neither gained advantage, so they maintained the status quo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, Mu Dao Ren had entered the picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying longer in the capital would mean bloodshed—Du Tongxuan’s blood, among others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dao Ren was no good man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Gu Qing admired Mu Dao Ren’s ability—he had recommended him as head of the Quanzhen Sect precisely to use his talent to strengthen and expand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking for a while, Wu Ming finished his tea. Everyone fell silent as they watched him set down the cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ming told Hua Manlou to sit, placed his hand over Hua Manlou’s eyes, and examined them carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing, Lu Xiaofeng, Shi Xiuxue, and others held their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Manlou had gone blind at age seven; his eye sockets still held dark pupils, but without any luster. The old man examined closely, then drew out silver needles and stimulated numerous acupoints around Hua Manlou’s eyes, asking him about his condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Hua Manlou’s blindness at age seven, the Hua family had summoned countless physicians and performed endless examinations. Now, under the old man’s questioning, many childhood memories resurfaced—he described his current state and how it compared to his condition back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, the old man nodded: “It seems your eye condition is exactly as I suspected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone’s faces brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prepare a quiet chamber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ming said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the illness?” Lu Xiaofeng asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ming glanced at Lu Xiaofeng—he held great admiration for him—and said: “Hidden injury, blockage. With my internal energy, I can clear the blockage. But the hidden injury must be treated slowly with medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ming gave the treatment plan outright—Hua Manlou was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, then entered the quiet chamber to undergo treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treatment lasted until evening. When Wu Ming emerged, he placed a teacup on the table. Inside the clear water floated two extremely fine black threads. As soon as Wu Ming released his grip, the threads dispersed, leaving a faint black sediment floating in the cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve given him the medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ming looked at Gu Qing: “And you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ming had shown his sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing leaned close to Wu Ming’s ear and whispered: “I’ve long been an invisible man!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Ming, deeply satisfied, pulled out a small note and placed it in Gu Qing’s chest: “I await you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Wu Ming vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Gu Qing had not seen how he disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing patted the note in his chest. The old man wanted to transmit martial arts and train an heir; Gu Qing wanted martial arts—they were perfectly aligned—truly a win-win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Gu Qing with concern, sensing he had paid some price—but since Gu Qing said nothing, Lu Xiaofeng asked nothing, and entered the quiet chamber. He saw Hua Manlou’s eyes wrapped in gauze, yet smiling, and hurriedly asked about his condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I close my eyes, I can already feel the flicker of the candle flame before me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Manlou said joyfully: “But the elder said my eyes have been unused for years—I must first nourish them with medicine, prepare gradually, and in the dark, at night, open my eyes one by one to adapt…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Hua Manlou spoke, Lu Xiaofeng flipped over a dozen cartwheels in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drinking! Let’s drink!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng was overjoyed for Hua Manlou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Hua Manlou dampened his spirits: “I cannot drink while applying medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng’s spirits rose even higher: “I’ll drink alone—I’ll drink with everyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hua residence was lit with lanterns, celebrating the occasion; the wine cellar was opened wide. Lu Xiaofeng carried jugs of wine, stopping every person he met to share a few cups. He drank inside the Hua residence, then outside—so overjoyed that the more he drank, the more alert he became. He drank until late night, then realized Gu Qing had vanished from the banquet. He grabbed a wine jug and headed straight for Gu Qing’s quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng, reeking of alcohol, saw Gu Qing—and sobered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing was balanced on two fingers, sitting cross-legged in midair, drenched in sweat—he was practicing martial arts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone else drank, Gu Qing was secretly grinding away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng felt nauseated. He stood there watching as Gu Qing’s body stretched and twisted like Indian yoga—after several contortions, sweat poured from every pore. He flipped over, rose up, and a series of sharp cracks echoed from his body—as if a stream of blood-qi had coalesced and refused to dissipate…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had broken through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This “Number One Under Heaven” wasn’t just secretly training—he’d broken through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng was utterly disgusted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That should be the seventh level, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Feiyan’s voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the many martial arts Gu Qing possessed, the Nine Yang Divine Art, Nine Yin Divine Art, and Yi Jin Jing had all reached their ultimate limits. But the Dragon and Elephant Power and the Yoga Secret Transmission—both required long years of cultivation, the latter endless—had quietly become his primary focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh level Shangguan Feiyan referred to was the Dragon and Elephant Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing had never rushed this art—he cultivated it daily, naturally, effortlessly. Now, with this sudden breakthrough, even a casual gesture carried seven hundred jin of force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing nodded slowly. Shangguan Feiyan stepped forward, offering a silk cloth to wipe his face. As Gu Qing reached out to embrace her, she wrapped her legs around his waist, aligning herself perfectly, giggling softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the capital, having witnessed Gu Qing’s performance at the peak of the Forbidden City and his ability to chat casually with the Emperor, Shangguan Feiyan had grown even more submissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing teased her lightly, one arm around Shangguan Feiyan, stepping into the nearby bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssss…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng felt deeply unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangguan Feiyan was beautiful, wicked, and wanton—she had always been Lu Xiaofeng’s dark moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this dark moonlight, wicked and wanton, was being taken by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng was numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1586,"2026-06-20T17:04:26.501Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a28e15e8e83e2c809d5179823779266fb447392034cb3ccddc5f1344b0d0afb2","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-116","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-114",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
