Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1969 - 1970: The Third Body Technique Fragment

Indeed, Ye Xuan’s trip to the Xiahou Family wasn’t for any particular purpose, but now that he’s here in the Xiahou Family’s Scripture Pavilion, wouldn’t it be a crime not to take something?

Although we’re not supposed to be greedy, taking a little won’t hurt. But still, we should put in some effort, right? What if we just happen to grab the perfect treasure?

So, with the intention of making Xiahou Zhenshan uncomfortable and himself happy, Ye Xuan spurred his horse and frantically searched for treasure.

As the saying goes, haste makes waste.

Under the pressure of limited time, Ye Xuan’s hands were busy and a bit careless, accidentally bumping into a row of bookshelves beside him.

"Oh crap!"

Ye Xuan was startled, seeing that the bookshelf was about to topple, he quickly harnessed the abundant Qigong within his body to stabilize it swiftly.

Yet, Ye Xuan’s reaction was ultimately a bit slow.

Crash!

Although the bookshelf didn’t fall, the many Martial Arts Skills placed on it scattered all over the floor.

Ye Xuan slapped his forehead, his face full of black lines.

The commotion inside the Scripture Pavilion obviously reached Xiahou Zhenshan outside as well. Soon, Xiahou Zhenshan’s laughter with a hint of mischief echoed in: "Brother Ye Xuan, the Martial Arts Skills within the Scripture Pavilion are all priceless. You may be anxious, but don’t turn the place into a mess!"

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, cursing internally.

That sly old fox, Xiahou Zhenshan, is basically telling him to spend the remaining time cleaning up the mess?

Seriously...

"Forget it, it seems this is fate."

Despite the grumbling, Ye Xuan could only resign himself, squatting down to start cleaning up the mess.

After wandering in the Scripture Pavilion for almost over an hour without finding any Martial Arts that suited him, Ye Xuan naturally didn’t hold out much hope for the next few minutes.

The Xiahou Family allowing him into the Scripture Pavilion was an unprecedented exception. If he fails to take any treasure, he can only blame his lack of luck; leaving the place messy would certainly be inappropriate.

Ye Xuan abandoned this treasure-hunting trip; after all, he hadn’t set his heart on acquiring something from the start, so he wasn’t too disappointed.

Ye Xuan casually tidied up the Martial Arts secrets scattered around, putting them back on the shelves one by one, and it didn’t take long before the area was clean.

Time had pretty much run out.

Outside the Scripture Pavilion, Xiahou Zhenshan’s urging voice resounded again: "Brother Ye Xuan, just one more minute, then you should come out!"

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, intending to just step out.

But at that moment, from the corner of his eye, he spotted a dirty and tattered piece of cloth beneath the nearly overturned bookshelf that Ye Xuan hadn’t put back.

Ye Xuan bent down to pick it up, treating it like a cleaning rag and was about to place it aside.

But even before putting it down, Ye Xuan’s eyebrows twitched: "There’s a pattern?"

Yes, there was a pattern on the rag.

At the same time, Ye Xuan suddenly felt that the rag in his hand was not ordinary cloth, but more like a piece of animal hide that could last for a millennium!

Ye Xuan paused in confusion, then quickly unfolded the coarse animal hide, staring at it, completely bewildered.

What is this?

Comparatively, the content on this animal skin is entirely different from all the Martial Arts secret books Ye Xuan had previously seen.

It has no name, not even words!

Only bizarre diagrams of human figures, each with a blank space below, without any annotations.

Such an animal skin, if seen by others, would surely be confusing and might even be dismissed as a child’s drawing, nothing of value.

But in Ye Xuan’s eyes, it seems to be the most precious treasure in existence!

Because Ye Xuan has been studying Body Cultivation Techniques!

And the series of movements depicted on the animal skin perfectly align with the Body Cultivation Techniques he’s been practicing; although seemingly different, they are as if originating from the same source.

Clearly, this is also a fragment of Body Technique.

Moreover, if Ye Xuan’s guess is correct, this should be the third fragment that seamlessly ties into the content of the previous two Body Technique fragments he practiced!

"Holy crap..."

Ye Xuan was astonished, his whole body instantly filled with excitement and joy.

Never did he expect that just as he’d given up, he’d unexpectedly find the third Body Technique fragment here in the Xiahou Family’s Scripture Pavilion!

Xiahou Zhenshan, I truly owe you thanks for urging me. If you hadn’t, how would I have made the mistake of toppling this bookshelf and then chanced upon this third Body Technique fragment appearing before my eyes?

This is fate!

Ye Xuan nearly couldn’t hold back his laughter.

Outside the Scripture Pavilion, Xiahou Zhenshan’s chuckling voice echoed again: "Brother Ye Xuan, time is up, you better come out now, and make sure not to break the rules of the Scripture Pavilion, or General Lu Wei won’t be something I can handle."

"I’m coming!"

Ye Xuan snapped back to reality, shouted, and immediately stepped out.

Smooth and unobstructed, within half a minute, Ye Xuan carried the dirty animal skin out of the Scripture Pavilion, striding briskly.

"Stop!"

Ye Xuan was about to head directly towards Xiahou Zhenshan when General Lu Wei, who had been guarding the Scripture Pavilion entrance, suddenly shouted.

Ye Xuan paused, bewildered.

From afar, Xiahou Zhenshan laughed heartily: "Brother Ye Xuan, don’t panic, General Lu Wei is just following procedure. He needs to check you to ensure you’ve really only taken one Martial Arts from the Scripture Pavilion."

"Oh, I understand."

Ye Xuan realized and then raised his hands cooperatively for General Lu Wei and the other men to inspect.

After rummaging around Ye Xuan for a bit, the group of men quickly moved aside, their rarely expressive faces showed a slightly peculiar look towards Ye Xuan.

They had checked, Ye Xuan didn’t steal any Martial Arts from the Scripture Pavilion, he only took the animal skin clutched in his hand.

That animal skin was so dirty it seemed like a rag!

"What is this guy thinking?"

They were puzzled; which Martial Arts in the Xiahou family’s Scripture Pavilion is not a worldly treasure? This kid doesn’t want any Martial Arts, only a torn rag?

Is he crazy?

General Lu Wei also took a deep look at Ye Xuan, then nodded expressionlessly: "You may leave."

"Thank you."

Ye Xuan nodded, then walked away.

While Xiahou Zhenshan saw Ye Xuan returning with a smile on his face, he was completely baffled.

This kid, did he really find some treasure in the Scripture Pavilion? Smiling so happily!

But the next second, Xiahou Zhenshan heaved a sigh of relief because he saw the animal skin in Ye Xuan’s hand.

This piece of animal skin, always stored in the Scripture Pavilion, Xiahou Zhenshan had seen it before, and not just once or twice.

As he put it, the ancestors of the Xiahou family must have been out of their minds to put a rag in the Scripture Pavilion!
