Chapter 110: The Reversal of Heaven and Earth, Bai Cao Enters the Gate

  "This...this..." Li Baicao looked on, his voice choked with emotion, a seven-foot-tall man was so moved that he couldn't speak clearly. Li Baicao slowly turned around and suddenly knelt down in front of Shi Jin, saying: "Master...you let me...how can I thank you enough."

  Shi Jin knew that the iron box sealed something very valuable from the Li Bai Cao's sect, but he never thought it would cause such a strong emotional fluctuation in Li Bai Cao. A grown man was actually so overjoyed that he was on the verge of tears. Shi Jin didn't think much more about it and quickly helped Li Bai Cao up, comforting him: "Bai Cao, my brother, what's the need for this?"

  Ling Bai Cao's eyes were red as he wiped away tears with his sleeve, saying: "Master, when my master left this place and entrusted everything to me, he left behind a sentence. He said: 'Following the heavens to heal the flesh, going against the heavens is life and death.' Now that I see this thing, I truly understand what Master meant. You see, this is the true essence of our Bai Miao Wu Jue Gate's ultimate skill."

  Shi Jin approached and took a look inside, only to find a single book with a cover that was completely black lacquered, like the heavy darkness of night. On the cover were written several strong and bold characters - "The Book of Defying Heaven".

  "This 'Inverted Heaven Book' was once mentioned by my master, who had memorized it completely when he was younger. However, what he taught me later on were only things from the 'Heavenly Book', without mentioning a single word about the 'Inverted Heaven Book'. I had asked him indirectly before, but he just smiled and didn't say anything. I never knew why my master did this, even until the day he left when he told me, 'When I leave, it will be your debut as a master, but you must always respect your teacher and remember the responsibility of our Hundred Maze No Awareness Gate to help the world. Although you will have to face everything alone from now on, if there's anything that puzzles you about fate, write to ask me, or if there's any mystery in medicine, sincerely seek my guidance and pay homage to the sages. Today, although you are considered a master, you haven't truly entered our Hundred Maze No Awareness Gate yet. The reason for this is predetermined by heaven, and it's not convenient for me to reveal it now.' But... today, I understand, everything makes sense." As he spoke, Li Bai Cao gazed into the distance, letting out a long sigh with deep meaning.

  Shi Jin placed the iron box reverently on the offering table in front of the ancestral portrait, patted Lei Baicao's shoulder and said: "No matter what happened, you have a destiny with this. I think your master set up such a seal, also for the sake of Bai Mai Wu Jue Men, he hopes that this lineage will be single-handedly passed down, and can always be a talent who respects his teacher and ancestors, saves people and helps the world. This 'Reversing Heaven Book' is probably your proof of entering the sect, you must take good care of it, don't lose it again."

  "Hmm, this is inevitable. With the Reversal Book in hand, there's no poison that can't be solved, and no disease that can't be cured by human doctors. Let alone corpse poison, even yin poison has a cure."

  "That's good! I won't waste any more effort here. Now, let's take the people to the Huang family and make a visit. Let's see what kind of person this Huang Tianba is, daring to cause trouble in front of me, Shi Huashan. Bai Cao, you go ahead and busy yourself, we'll meet again later." After saying that, Shi Jin beckoned with his hand and led the brothers out.

  Li Daichun took a look and hastily called out to Shi Jin: "Master, wait!"

  Shi Jin stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Li Bai Cao hurrying up behind him, saying: "Master, since Fangzi is already in hand, I'm not in a hurry to retrieve the 'Shun Tian Book' either. With strong enemies lurking outside the city, it's better for you to return to the city and take charge of the situation. As for Huang Jia'er, he's not worth worrying about; after we've dealt with the external threat, we can look for him at our leisure."

  "Although what you said is different, since Huang Tianba dares to take such actions, he must have already made up his mind to be ruthless. He will definitely find a way to cooperate with others to deal with me. Even if I don't look for trouble now, he will still come after me secretly. It's better to take this opportunity to eliminate him and prevent future troubles. Moreover, although I currently possess the 'Reversing Heaven Book', it only contains prescriptions, but the actual healing of people depends on the herbs. Now that we are surrounded by the city, where can the herbs come from?"

  Li Baicao looked at Shi Jin's deep eyes and was immediately convinced. Just now, he was so excited that he almost forgot his usual reason. At this moment, being enlightened by Shi Jin, the relaxed mood suddenly cooled down again, his eyebrows were slightly locked, and his heart was also uneasy.

  Shi Jin saw that Li Baicao's complexion had changed, and he guessed nine out of ten. He patted his shoulder again to comfort him: "Baicao, don't worry, I'll go get the medicine right away. You stay in Baicao Hall and take care of the wounded brothers from Shao Huashan."

  "Master Da's, wait a moment for me, I'll write the prescription for you right away. But there's one thing that puzzles me - where do you plan to get these medicinal herbs from?" Li Bai Cao looked at Shi Jin with utmost seriousness.

  Shi Jin's sly smile reappeared on his face, and he said to the bewildered eyes of Bai Cao, "Bai Cao doesn't need to bother, the Huang family has already prepared everything for me. I can just go get it now."

  Shi Jin was just about to turn around and leave when a familiar voice joyfully rang out from not far behind him: "Big brother, what good thing are you taking away? Wait for me to go with you."

  Li Baicao looked in the direction of the voice, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. Shi Jin also turned around to look, and he too was delighted: "Shi Qian, you've come at just the right time! I'm planning to go provoke Huang Tianba's arrogance, are you willing to follow me?"

  As soon as Shi Qian walked closer to everyone, he immediately shouted: "Where is the reason for not going? I'm afraid that this time, there will be a good show again. Isn't it just the right time for me to come back?"

  "Who says it isn't? Come on, let's go then." Shi Jin said as he was about to head towards the entrance of the underground tunnel in that courtyard, but before he could take a step forward, he was pulled back by Shi Xian.

  "Big brother, since I'm back, why are you so indifferent and not even asking about the outcome of the ambush against the government soldiers that you previously asked me and Chen Da to carry out?" Shi Yan looked at Shi Jing with a serious and curious expression, waiting for his response.

  Shi Jin glanced at Shi Yan, then looked at Li Bai Cao, and smiled: "No need to ask, the ambush will definitely succeed!"

  "Big brother, how can you be so confident? What if we lose?" Shi Qian asked, getting to the bottom of things.

  "What if I really lose? You'll come in like this." As he spoke, Shi Jin quickly ran a small circle in the courtyard and hastily returned to Shi Yan's side, putting on a wretched appearance and imitating Shi Yan's voice, saying: "Big brother... big brother, I... I owe you an apology!"

  Shi Jin's performance was so vivid that it made everyone in the audience laugh heartily. Shi Jin smiled and immediately returned to normal, saying: "But when you came, I saw your footsteps were light and carefree, I suppose your mood is even more buoyant. With just one glance, I knew that you must have come with good news this time, so there's no need to ask!"

  After speaking, Shi Jin smiled and turned around to pull the brothers of Shihua Mountain, including Shi Xian, to take their knives and leave. They went down into the underground tunnel in the courtyard, and in just a moment, over a hundred people disappeared from the entrance of the tunnel.

  Li Baicao took a look at the quiet courtyard again, and walked back to the study alone. He looked at his ancestor's portrait and couldn't help but kneel down, with only one sentence repeating in his heart.

  Shi Jin's intelligence is not ordinary...
