Ways to handle this little demon

Deadly ice blade..... it was a legendary sword created by the deity of winter thousands of years ago. This sword had been handed from generation to generation by Li family ancestors. This sword held quite formidable powers and had a unique craftsmanship compared to most swords used by other water or ice spiritual root cultivators. 

It just so happened to be that Little Zian also possessed a heavenly water spiritual root, so Li Peizhi, who held so much expectation for little Zian, automatically handed over such a legendary sword to his son. Of course, he regretted this decision later. 

Li Zian didn't live up to his expectations and let him down, becoming nothing more than a trash cultivator. But Li Peizhi couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't do things like, taking back the sword or making Li Zian hand it to other children of his with water or ice spiritual roots. Once deadly ice blade chose its master, there couldn't be a new master as long as his former master was still alive. 

Well... the real Li Zian had passed away now, so, of course, it wouldn't be wrong to say Zhang Long Wei had become its new master right now. 

However, the fact that Zhang Long Wei had become its master..... it didn't mean whoever touched the sword for the first time after its former master died, would be recognized as its new master.

Granted, anyone, who didn't get recognized as its master, could also use deadly ice blade just like its real master. Even if a stranger used this sword, deadly ice blade would work properly. The only difference was that, every move, used by the sword to attack the enemy, would also affect the non-master stranger who was holding deadly ice blade in their own hands. 

So, when they did it, not only the enemy but even themselves got hurt. It was like this for Zhang Long Wei too when he used deadly ice blade in the first month of possessing Li Zian's body. Swords like deadly ice blade.... they recognized their master not by their physical body but by their essence or soul. 

At that time, every time Zhang Long Wei had to use deadly ice blade in duels with other disciples, he also got injured as much as the opponent did too. To beat the opponent on such kind of circumstances, Zhang Long Wei had to be able to endure the pain more than his opponent. 

But now, deadly ice blade didn't refuse him anymore. He was accepted. He had become its real master. Zhang Long Wei couldn't tell the exact reason as to why. After all, even in the books of Li Family's study, there's nothing written about this specific topic. According to Li Zian's memory, that youth didn't even have to overcome such tough experiences like him. All Li Zian had to do was just to drip his blood on it and the sword automatically recognized him as its master. 

Covering the trembling youth with layers upon layers of quilt, Zhang Long Wei tried to warm him up. He had already made Wang Li Jie drink a cup of hot herbal tea. But still, the youth didn't get any better. 

He tried searching Li Zian's memory, hoping to get some useful information. Li Zian had once read an old book written about deadly ice blade in Li family's study. 

The book had written about the very same sword, deadly ice blade, but it had three volumes: first one for water spiritual root cultivators, second volume for ice spiritual root and the third for cultivators with both of water and ice spiritual roots.

Since Li Zian was a cultivator with water spiritual root, he skipped volume two and read the other two. In those two volumes, Zhang Long Wei couldn't recalled anything related to Wang Li Jie's present condition written. Maybe Li Zian did read it but he couldn't remember because of hazy memories. Or maybe there really was nothing written about it in the two volumes Li Zian read. 

As to why Zhang Long Wei was trying to recall this book was because Li Zian had never experienced any incident like this in real life whilst using deadly ice blade, so only his knowledge about deadly ice blade in books could be useful.

In fact, Zhang Long Wei remembered Li Zian brought that book to Jianyu sect when he moved to here after officially becoming a junior disciple. But where Li Zian placed that book, he couldn't recall. Li Zian had a very bad memory, didn't he? The things, that kid had long forgotten...Zhang Long Wei also couldn't recall..... 

It would at least take a good hour for him to go back to his own chamber and search that book. Even so, Zhang Long Wei was not sure if the book was really still there or not. Besides, he couldn't leave the youth here alone in his serious state. Patting the unconscious youth's head in a soothing manner, Zhang Long Wei glanced around the chamber and spotted a little book shelf in the corner. 

Wang Li Jie possessed thunder spiritual root. He would probably not keep books about water spiritual root in his shelf....let alone about deadly ice blade. But this youth was the son of immortal Wang. With such a strict father, Wang Li Jie couldn't probably stay idle. Even if it had nothing to do with his own heavenly thunder spiritual root, immortal Wang might make the youth to learn and absorb everything. 

With that thought, Zhang Long Wei rubbed the back of trembling youth before walking over to the book shelf in quiet steps. One might wonder why Wang Li Jie still didn't sent the youth to the clinic or call a physician. Although he couldn't find the solution, maybe physicians might have one. Could it be that Zhang Long Wei was worried the elders would scold him after finding out he had injured Wang Li Jie? 

Of course not. This was Zhang Long Wei. He was not someone who cared that much about other's opinions. It was just that he was pretty sure even those elders and physicians wouldn't know anything about deadly ice blade either...just like himself . 

Though Zhang Long Wei cultivated demonic art in his last life, he also had nearly complete knowledge about spiritual roots of righteous cultivators because he had read piles of books about them or battled against many skilled righteous cultivators in real life. 

As to Wang Li Jie's condition, Zhang Long Wei never heard or even read once about that in books about water and ice spiritual roots, so he was really sure the youth's current condition have undoubtedly something to do with deadly ice blade. There was only one sword like deadly ice blade all in the three realms. And that very one existed only in Li family. 

Only ancestors of Li family might have the answer to it. And even if those ancestors wrote about it, it could only be found in Li family's study...so just like himself, Zhang Long Wei knew other elders and physicians wouldn't have a clue either. Now that he thought about it, Zhang Long Wei even felt stupid to think he might find such a book in this youth's collections. Books written about deadly ice blade were extremely rare. And this youth who had nothing to do with this sword..... how could there be such a book in his collections? 

Placing the books back into the shelf neatly, Zhang Long Wei was about to leave and went back to the youth's side when he caught a glimpse of a book with a familiar cover over the shelf. Pausing in his steps, Zhang Long Wei turned around, fumbling the books around there once again. Not Long after, he really found it. 

So.... He was not hallucinating for nothing... 

Blowing away the thick layer of dust on the book, Zhang long Wei prepared to take a careful look inside. But then, his hand, which was about to flick the cover, paused in mid-air when his eyes fell onto the familiar old scratched, torn book cover. 

Wait a minute... this.... isn't this Li Zian's?....
