The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 950: Cold Soul Sword Marrow
“I have one thing I don’t understand, and I hope Senior Shui can help me solve it.” The Medicine Immortal clasped his fists towards Elder Shui and bowed slightly.

"You want to know how I got this scale?"

"Exactly."

"It's a strange thing to say."

The person who explained was obviously Tang Yue's grandfather, but she was a little nervous at this moment.

Everyone in the room listened carefully to Elder Shui's words.

They did not avoid the relatives and friends who came outside to help. They could also hear the conversation inside the house and were extremely curious about Elder Shui's experience.

The Zhulong clan lives in Zhangwei Mountain north of the Red River, which is located at the junction of the northern boundary of the underworld and the human race, and can only be reached from the underworld.

Elder Shui took the route of the black market, disguised him as a ghost cultivator, sent him in through the River Styx, and soon arrived at the junction.

There was very thick fog there, and nothing could be seen clearly. Even with the third eye open, one could only vaguely make out the outlines of the mountains and rivers.

It is said that Zhulong likes to live near water. According to the map given by the smugglers who stowed away in the Styx, Elder Shui quickly found a small pond.

He didn't dare go to the big rivers, for fear that he might encounter a higher-level Zhulong, which would be bad if it attracted the Lord of Youyin.

When he walked to the edge of the pond, he indeed found a young Zhulong.

I heaved a sigh of relief immediately, as the Medicine Immortal had said that the young dragon's reverse scales could be used.

He was observing Zhulong from the side. The red scales on his chest glowed slightly in the mist and were very eye-catching.

This is the characteristic of a young dragon, it will not hide the key parts of its body.

In order to end the battle quickly, he quickly set up an ambush formation by the pond, then walked up to Zhulong and used himself as bait.

When Zhulong heard the noise, he suddenly raised his head, and his red eyes instantly locked onto Elder Shui.

Its rage was immediately ignited and it let out a deafening roar, which echoed throughout the valley and the water.

Elder Shui's heart trembled, but before he could dodge, Zhulong pounced on him quickly. Its huge body swept over like a storm, and its tail swept down a group of trees.

"Bang!" Zhulong's tail lashed towards Elder Shui again. He dodged sideways and the tail hit the ground, creating a deep groove.

Elder Shui was still shocked and took several steps back. Although the young dragon was small, its strength was stronger than that of a Mahayana cultivator.

Generally speaking, only immortals and ghost kings would come here to hunt Zhulong.

Elder Shui's move was indeed too risky, tantamount to delivering food to someone's door.

Although he was only a few dozen meters away from his own formation, it felt like he had been walking for a hundred years.

He failed to dodge Xiao Zhulong's attacks. His soft armor blocked some of the attacks, but he still suffered numerous external and internal injuries.

Finally, Zhulong was lured into the formation.

Golden and red light instantly enveloped Zhulong's entire body, emitting countless sword energies and poisons, slowing down its movements.

Elder Shui took the opportunity to draw his sword, but only hit a few scales, which were extremely solid and did not cause much damage to Zhulong.

Zhulong roared, swung his body vigorously, and kept whipping the formation with his tail.

Soon the formation was broken, and the suppression on Zhulong was not that great.

It swung its claws back and grabbed Elder Shui's chest fiercely. He tried to dodge, but his shoulder was still injured.

Elder Shui instantly felt a sharp pain coming from his shoulder, and blood splattered out and splashed into the mist.

Elder Shui gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and continued to swing his sword. He had to take the reverse scale as soon as possible, otherwise he would die here.

However, as time went on, the fog around began to grow darker.

Elder Shui was covered in blood, his movements gradually became slower, and his breathing became heavier.

Zhulong's figure gradually blurred in front of his eyes, and only then did he realize that the fog was extremely poisonous.

But he was too late to resist. Zhulong's giant claws slapped down again, and Elder Shui finally couldn't resist and was knocked to the ground. His eyes were dark and his consciousness completely sank into the abyss.

After an unknown amount of time, Elder Shui woke up in great pain. The wound on his chest was still aching, and blood soaked through his robes.

He raised his head with difficulty and found himself back at the Styx River, at the junction of the underworld and Zhangwei Mountain. There was silence all around.

I felt something cold in my hand. When I picked it up, I saw that it was a dark red scale - the reverse scale of Zhulong.

He looked around blankly. There were no other cultivators around, and he didn't know if anyone was helping him.

How else did he get this scale?
As far as he could remember, he was nearly killed by Zhulong, so there was no way he could get the scales.

But thinking of his daughter who was in a coma and at risk of being attacked by the heat and poison at any time, he could not wait.

Elder Shui, with wounds all over his body, stood up with difficulty, ready to leave here first and think about this matter later.

"How is grandpa's injury?" Tang Yue asked anxiously.

Because Elder Shui came back with clean clothes and in good spirits, people thought he didn't fight with Zhulong for too long.

Now I heard that he almost died at the claws of Zhulong.

"This is another thing that I find strange. I thought I would need to stay in seclusion for more than ten years to heal my injuries, but when I was practicing Qigong on the way, I found that my internal injuries had healed by 80%. My Qigong was slightly blocked, and my external injuries also healed quickly."

There was also confusion in Elder Shui's words.

Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Tzu Chi cured her grandfather. She would say a few nice words to him next time they met.

The Medicine Immortal pondered and said, "There must be a master helping you, I wonder who it is."

Tang Yue said: "Maybe it was the legendary fate that happened. A passing god was moved by grandpa's sincerity and helped him."

There are too many legends like this. Most of them talk about encountering immortals, having great opportunities and solving difficulties.

However, Medicine Immortal and Water Elder found it hard to believe this legend of immortal fate, so they both remained silent.

No matter what, Tang Yue gave an explanation, or an excuse, and she would explain it this way in the future, and outsiders would have difficulty saying anything.

After all, no one was hurt.

"Master Medicine Fairy, can you cure my mother's illness now?" Tang Yue was concerned about her mother's condition and wanted to change the subject.

"I told Elder Shui at the time that Zhulong Nilin is one of the medicines needed to balance the heat. We also need a medicine to control the heat."

Tang Yue thought about what he said and it made sense.

One is hot, one is cold, one is yin, all the same, and then adjusted back to a balanced state through Zhulong Nilin.

After this, my mother might turn a disaster into a blessing and reach a higher level of cultivation.

She hurriedly asked, "What is the other medicine you mentioned?"

"It is Kunwu's cold sword essence."

"I seem to have heard of the Cold Soul Sword Essence, but I haven't studied it in detail. I only know that it is an excellent ingredient for refining the Cold Sword."

Over the past ten years, Tang Yue has focused on her studies at Wuji Mountain and has not been very clear about some of Kunwu's secrets.

The Medicine Immortal said: "I have seen this item at the Duobao Pavilion auction. It not only has the ultimate cold power, but also contains natural sword energy. It is indeed a top-level sword-making magic weapon."

"At that time, I bought a small piece to study its medicinal properties. I found that although this substance can eliminate plague and fever, it will cause devastating harm to the patient. It is like killing 800 enemies but injuring 10,000 of my own. So I didn't continue."

In other words, this medicine not only kills the disease, but also the host.

The Medicine Immortal continued, "If it is used on Madam Shui to fight this extremely evil plague, it would be just right. Unfortunately, Duobao Pavilion has no stock now."

Elder Shui said, "I heard that this thing is produced at the bottom of the Kunwu Abyss Cliff. Hongyun should know more about it. Please tell me about it."
