In the treasure chamber, only Qin Hao and Duan Changsheng remained.
"Can I take a look at the injuries of the sect master?" After watching the elder leave, Qin Hao suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm?" Duan Changsheng was taken aback.
For the past ten years, he had kept his severe injuries secret, only known to a few senior elders, and the disciples of the sect were completely unaware. Yet, Qin Hao seemed to see through it at a glance.
"The Son of Heaven indeed has keen insight. Do you also understand medicine?" Duan Changsheng asked in surprise.
Qin Hao smiled faintly. "As a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, I am well-versed in astronomy, geography, occultism, yin and yang, formations, ancient and modern mysteries, and human ailments. Medicine is just one of many fields I am knowledgeable in."
Qin Hao wasn't boasting. As the descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, he had vast knowledge of everything in the cosmos and throughout history, including medicine.
Although Duan Changsheng couldn't understand, he still felt a glimmer of hope.
He had suffered severe injuries ten years ago, falling into seclusion to recover. Despite seeking various treatments and medicines, nothing worked, and he continued to endure excruciating pain daily.
Qin Hao calmly examined his pulse.
"How is it?" Duan Changsheng's heart clenched, hoping for a miracle.
Qin Hao's expression remained calm as ever. "Your injuries are not beyond treatment."
Duan Changsheng's eyes lit up. "Really? Can you heal my Dao injuries?"
Qin Hao, however, didn't seem to care much. "There's no need for treatment. The Longevity Sword Art contains a miraculous power that can rejuvenate. With regular practice, your injuries can be alleviated."
Hearing this, Duan Changsheng's expression dimmed. "But I've been practicing the Longevity Sword Art for decades and have never been able to..."
"That's because the version you've been practicing is incomplete. What you've learned so far is just the basics. The missing parts contain the ultimate secrets of the sword path!"
"What? Incomplete?" Duan Changsheng was astonished.
He couldn't believe it if anyone else had said it, but seeing Qin Hao's confident expression, he couldn't help but feel moved.
"Are you saying there's more to the Longevity Sword Art? Something beyond the Heavenly Tier—perhaps a Divine Tier technique?"
Divine Tier techniques were the most advanced martial arts in existence, coveted even by Gold Body Realm experts.
"Exactly," Qin Hao affirmed. "The Longevity Sword Art I've completed is a Divine Tier technique. It surpasses the Heavenly Tier and holds the ultimate secrets of the sword path."
Duan Changsheng's eyes sparkled. "A Divine Tier technique! If this is true, it could revolutionize our sect!"
However, Qin Hao changed the subject. "Now that your issue is resolved, perhaps you could prepare some cultivation resources for me?"
Duan Changsheng nearly choked. Qin Hao was asking for three to five million spirit stones—an amount that would be difficult to gather even if they searched the entire sect ten times over.
"Three to five million spirit stones? I'm afraid our sect doesn't have that many."
Qin Hao sighed inwardly. "It's a shame that times have changed. Nevertheless, I know a place where there's a hoard of resources."
Duan Changsheng's eyes widened. "The Beast-Taming Sect!"
With the recent battle at Xuan Tian Mountain, the Beast-Taming Sect was at its weakest, making it the perfect target for looting.
"Indeed. We can easily raid their stronghold and claim all the resources for our sect," Qin Hao suggested.
With that, Duan Changsheng left the treasure chamber hastily, ready to mobilize forces for the upcoming raid on the Beast-Taming Sect's stronghold.
