l hospital treatment methods were unknown to Xiao Yu, but Traditional Chinese Medicine had its own set of techniques.Suddenly, Xiao Yu remembered that because he disliked medical practices, the medica...Chapter 607: First Hearing of the Gathering of Mysterious Arts

"Doctor Xiao, Grandmaster Li is waiting for you at my place and wishes to meet you!" When Xiao Yug開車經過金祥林家門口的時候，肖靜茹正站在門口等待。看到蕭煜的車過來，趕緊攔下了蕭煜的車說道。

"Oh" After hearing what Xiao Jingru said, Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned and replied with a puzzled tone. He thought to himself, Grandmaster Li Which Grandmaster Li is this However, he didn't ask the question out loud but instead parked his car and followed Xiao Jingru to her house.

When Xiao Yu entered the living room of Jin Xianglin's home, Jin Xianglin was sitting on a sofa chatting with an elderly man in his sixties. They occasionally burst into laughter.

"Old Jin, Grandmaster Li! Doctor Xiao is here!" After entering the house, Xiao Jingru said to Jin Xianglin and others who were seated on the sofa.

Upon hearing what Xiao Jingru said, Jin Xianglin quickly stopped talking and stood up from the sofa, turning around to look at the door.

"Doctor Xiao!"

"Grandmaster Xiao!"

The two of them stood up when they saw Xiao Yu walk in and greeted him immediately.

"General Manager Jin, so this is Grandmaster Li..." After hearing their greetings, Xiao Yu bowed slightly to both of them as a greeting.

"Doctor Xiao, please take a seat!" Jin Xianglin pointed at the sofa next to him and said. Upon hearing that, Xiao Yu nodded and sat down on the sofa, then looked at the elderly man and asked, "Grandmaster Li, may I ask what your esteemed visit is about"

It turned out that this elderly gentleman was actually Li Shiqing, the successor of Jing Ke's sworn brotherhood. Although he didn't know Xiao Yu's identity, he knew that there must be some connection between Xiao Yu and their family because no stranger would be so familiar with them. Moreover, since his family rarely appeared in public, they never promoted themselves as part of the Li lineage when going out, nor did they talk much about their relationship with Jing Ke.

But what about Xiao Yu He immediately recognized their background without any mistake in his words, which shocked him and made him speculate secretly about Xiao Yu's identity.

No matter how he guessed, he wouldn't have thought that Xiao Yu was a successor of Zhong Kui. Logically speaking, Xiao Yu could even be considered as his ancestor; it’s just that Xiao Yu's identity is too mysterious to say.

Although Li Shiqing didn’t know Xiao Yu’s specific background, the fact that he could immediately identify their lineage proved that there was a deep connection between them. Moreover, with Xiao Yu's profound abilities, Li Shiqing treated him with utmost respect when dealing with him.

"Senior Xiao! There will be a gathering of Odd Doors in a few days in Sichuan; I came here to invite you!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s question, Li Shiqing stood up and bowed respectfully towards Xiao Yu.

After hearing Li Shiqing's words, Xiao Yu was moved. He didn’t expect there would still be gatherings under such circumstances where the Odd Doors were waning. Since there is a gathering, it must have many participants. Although Xiao Yu did not want to reveal his identity, he wanted to see the current state of the Odd Door cultivation world. Therefore, upon hearing Li Shiqing's words, he hesitated.

After a while, Xiao Yu raised his head and looked at Li Shiqing, "Master Li, what’s the situation with this Odd Doors gathering"

"This...," Upon hearing Xiao Yu's question, Li Shiqing pondered for a moment before looking towards Jin Xianglin and his wife.

“You two talk; we will go to the kitchen and see if dinner is ready!” Seeing Li Shiqing’s demeanor, Jin Xianglin knew that there were some things they shouldn’t know. So he pulled Xiao Jingru and said, then both of them went towards the kitchen.

Seeing Li Shiqing's mysterious look, Xiao Yu did not say anything because he knew that these Odd Door matters should not be known by ordinary people. Although they knew about their existence, it was unavoidable. In fact, knowing too much might bring catastrophic disasters to them instead of any benefits.

Xiao Yu didn't approve of them knowing too much either; hence, when seeing Li Shiqing's actions, he did not stop him.

After Jin Xianglin and his wife left the living room, Xiao Yu looked at Li Shiqing, waiting for what he had to say. Xiao Yu was also very curious about the domestic Odd Door cultivation world even though he had met many cultivators without asking these questions before. To him, this current Odd Door cultivation world seemed too distant; if it wasn’t for Li Shiqing's mention of the gathering, he wouldn't have inquired.

Seeing Xiao Yu looking at him, Li Shiqing started explaining to him.

Actually, in today's cultivation world, there are still quite a few cultivators around. However, these people hide their identities and live as ordinary folks among the general populace. Just like that old lady whom Li Shi Qing and Xiao Yu met when they were questioned by the police after buying their car, all of them lead normal lives.

As for how many cultivators there are in the country now, nobody has a unified data on this matter. After all, even though such gatherings take place, quite a number of people either do not want to join or look down upon these meetings and thus do not participate.

However, the known participants already number nearly two hundred people. Of course, these two hundred also include those newly initiated qimen practitioners; otherwise, having dozens like Li Shi Qing and his group would be quite impressive.

In addition to them, the state has a batch of these cultivators under its control as well. However, such people disdain participating in such meetings organized by commoners, or rather, the gatherings do not invite them either. Many participants have their names registered with the government for the sake of their family's legacy, an unavoidable compromise they make; just like Master Zhang who has such a large clan, how can he avoid joining

Therefore, these people enjoy relative freedom unless like Master Zhang who is deeply involved in state affairs. Fortunately, there are no strict requirements set by the government on him.

Xiao Yu also learned from Li Shi Qing that according to rumors, some major cultivation sects still exist today. However, since they disappeared a hundred years ago and have not appeared again since then, it is uncertain if they are still around. Yet, there must be someone left as these people have managed to carry on their legacies.

It was known that according to the legends passed down from ancestors, the power of those major sects was enormous; these individuals were like ants in front of them. However, since those major sects had existed since ancient times and survived through a great heavenly calamity, they would not have been wiped out by just one such disaster.

Moreover, Xiao Yu knew that each of these major sects possessed their own immortal realms; even though the primordial energy in heaven and earth was now very thin, the locations where those major sects were situated were exactly at points where dragon veins converged. Therefore, it would be impossible for them to be wiped out.

It was unlikely that these major sects did not suffer any damage during their ordeal; otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed hidden for a hundred years. Besides, even Zhong Kui only retained a sliver of his true spirit back then; how could those major sects be spared

No one knows the extent to which these major sects were injured, but it is certain that it was not light.

As for why Li Shi Qing invited Xiao Yu, it's because this qimen gathering operates on a regional basis. Due to geographical reasons, there are very few qimen practitioners here in the deep sea region.

This place is different from Sichuan or the Northeastern provinces where people are more abundant and talented. The population here is very sparse; five years ago, when he attended an upper realm gathering, he was the only one present from the deep sea area and Guangdong.

In areas with fewer people, there's almost no speaking power at such gatherings, which is why the last time he saw Xiao Yu, he had this thought.

After listening to Li Shiqing's account, Xiao Yu fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Master Li, shout for me when you leave! However, don't expose my identity; I'll go as an observer or your assistant."

After much deliberation, Xiao Yu still decided to attend the gathering. This opportunity was rare, and he could also see the current state of the Qimen cultivation realm. Thankfully, his cultivation is based on righteous energy, which ordinary people can't perceive; thus, he can go as Li Shiqing's assistant.

After Xiao Yu finished talking with Li Shiqing, he called Jin Xianglin and his wife. Although they said they were going to the kitchen, everyone knew it was just an excuse. So after their conversation, they brought out Jin Xianglin and his wife.

Dinner that night, both Xiao Yu and Li Shiqing stayed at Jin Xianglin's place. After dinner, Li Shiqing got up to leave while Xiao Yu also bid farewell to Jin Xianglin and went back home.

Xiao Yu’s villa was pitch black except for a few dim lights in the courtyard.

After returning home, Xiao Yu washed up briefly before heading down to the underground crypt. As soon as he stood steady in the crypt, he suddenly froze, and after a moment, he recovered, looking at Dai Yuxin sitting in the middle of the crypt with astonishment.

At this moment, Dai Yuxin was seated in the center of the crypt without any unusual reaction to Xiao Yu's arrival. However, her expression was extremely twisted and sinister, and her complexion was ghastly.

This wasn't what surprised Xiao Yu; rather, it was the faint yet pure yin energy emanating from the crypt that came from the netherworld that amazed him.

After sensing this yin energy, Xiao Yu's gaze immediately turned to Dai Yuxin as this faint, pure yin energy was coming from her body.

Xiao Yu closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. After a while, he opened them with a look of joy; he had just felt a slight flow of yin energy in Dai Yuxin's meridians, indicating that she has managed to mobilize some of the solid pure yin energy.t seven o'clock in the evening, Wan Sheng Hall closed on schedule.Xiao Yu saw Xiao Hong Yang and Liu Erxi leave, then drove towards Dongyuan Villa."Ringing.........."
