Blood River Episode 19

Establishing clinic and parting of ways

Physician Bai is called out to test her knowledge and seems like MuYu and Changehe both have plans for her success. Changhe doles out cash and MuYu gives free consults and half herb prices. They celebrate their success over a meal and here the friends plan to part ways for awhile. Muyu is going to restore Swordless City honor and Changhe establishes his new patriarchy with Blood River. They are content that thy have set up the clinic well enough for them to leave. Muyu is gifted some valuable items before he leaves. Since he is not free to use his umbrella sword and stay anonymous, he is gifted his father’s sword. He teared up at the sight because this is the only thing he would have truly valued from the sword vault. She also gives him a small decorative box with a pet she values. This turned out to be a ghost spider of great value and strength. This spider quickly won him the WuShuang token he needed at the gambling house when they tried to steal his sword from him. Changhe is a,ready dealing with deceit amongst the ranks. He is ambushed and they think he is weakened by a poisoned dart before attacking. He proves that to be a last mistake for them. He knows who is testing him and that his colleagues are poisoned and confined. At the WuShuang pass area Muyu is treated disrespectfully by guards and it quickly changes as the leader shows up. He acknowledges what Muyu said but then engages in battle because WuShuang was insulted. He is in for a surprise as Muyu holds his own without even getting his sword out. Earlier in the episode, a coveted peerless sword is hidden and nobody has accessed it yet. The spirit guarding it has not chosen anyone yet. The master tried and failed but the young disciple was gifted the sword by the spirit. The boy was renamed WuShuang. I do not know if this is a flashback or current event, but I am sure that sword will meet Muyu at some point as he takes on all of WuShuang. This drama continues to be quite good. The cast work well together and the production staff does a good job with the battles and background scenes. I have not watched the other dramas linked to this one peripherally and still enjoy this without any other history. It holds its own quite nicely.
