Chapter 257 (4000) Elder Si Gu

"You said you were also participating as an intern, so why did Ling Xin go to the valley with Teacher Tie?"

At the tea stall in the courtyard of the inn, Zhao Jian asked curiously while eating side dishes.

"Can you compare with Ling Xin?" Xu Yiming curled his lips and said, "That's the Ling family clan. Guan Hongyue, the deputy leader of Shuangyue we met back then, I heard that even he can't compare to her!" As he said that, he He lowered his voice: "If she hadn't come to Ningdong to go to school, I'm afraid she wouldn't have interacted with us..."

"Then isn't he also a student now?" Zhao Jian was a little dissatisfied. Ever since he knew that Ling Xin had no interest in him, he had some prejudices against this beautiful girl... Of course, according to Luo Jun's analysis, the main reason was that he was exposed. Because of the resistance she felt after falling in love, she felt a little embarrassed when Ling Xin was mentioned.

"There are differences between students." Lu Fei took a sip of tea: "After the last battle against the virus, I have a feeling that the strongest one in our team may not be Teacher Tie, but this Ling Family clan."

"So powerful?" Zhao Jian and Xu Yiming's eyes widened. In their eyes, Tie Jingang was the strongest group of masters besides Immortal and Peak. He was also the main combat force in the academy classroom where there were many masters. Would he be no match for a student?
Lu Fei nodded: "I only heard about it before, but this time I saw her Demon-Breaking Golden Blade, which is really powerful... But I always feel that she is hesitant about taking action, and seems to have been restraining her power. I don't know why. ?”

After hearing this, Luo Jun suddenly thought of Ling Xin's previous pollution in the Wilderness. Normally, no matter how heavy the pollution is, as long as you have not become a polluter, you can purify all the pollution after returning to the main world for one month. However, if you look carefully, it was less than twenty days from the time they left [Wild Wilderness] to the time Ling Xin appeared in [Martial Arts]. Could it be that her pollution has not been purified yet?

Yes, I mentioned in class that the pollution in different worlds is calculated separately. If you take the pollution with you and enter another different world, the pollution in the previous world will neither be purified nor worsened, but will begin to accumulate in the new world. of pollution. From this point of view, is it possible that Ling Xin still carries the pollution of [Savage], making her unable to use her full strength when fighting?
So if that's the case, why would you go out of your way to participate in an internship? Wouldn't it be better to clean it up in the main world? Her strength is not inferior to such an internship experience... Could it be said that her pollution is too heavy and cannot be purified?

Luo Jun thought of the cyan scales he saw on Ling Xin's body before. She must have endured excessive pollution in the underground arena. Although she has not completely mutated, she should not be able to purify it easily.

So it seems... Tie Jingang took Ling Xin to visit the Valley Master, was it for this?
…………

Yaowang Valley Reception Room.

Tie Jinggang and Ling Xin were sitting in the guest seats, and in the main seat, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a fairy-like manner was reading a letter.

Although he looks about forty, this is indeed the current Medicine King Valley Master, Sun Yichen, who turns 60 this year!

I have long heard that Yaowang Valley is proficient in medicine and can not only cure diseases and save people, but also prolong life and improve appearance. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved.

Tie Jin just touched his big face. He was not yet forty, and he looked older than the valley owner.

"Brother Yuan, you're so polite..." The Valley Master finished reading the letter and looked at Tie Jingang: "It's just a birthday for me to prepare such a big gift. It's really a waste of money."

"Where." Tie Jingang clasped his fists and said, "The Valley Master has been friends with Master Yuan for many years. Their relationship over the years cannot be measured by these external things. If the acting master hadn't had something important to do, he would have come personally to help. Happy birthday to the owner of the valley.”

"Brother Yuan is interested..." Sun Yichen nodded and looked at Ling Xin: "Is this the girl he mentioned in his letter?"

Tie Jingang nodded: "Exactly, this girl's father is the adopted son of Head Yuan Dai. He was killed by an adulterer many years ago. Over the years, Head Yuan Dai has always treated her as his own granddaughter. . It's a pity that this child is suffering from an evil poison of unknown origin. He has tried all the famous doctors to no avail, so he can come to you, the Valley Master, for help."

The Valley Master nodded, waved to Ling Xin and said, "Come here, child, let me take your pulse."

Ling Xin stepped forward, sat on the chair next to the Valley Master, and stretched out her wrist. The Valley Master pressed three fingers on Ling Xin's veins and closed his eyes slightly.

Ling Xin was slightly stunned. She felt three weak breaths entering her body along the meridians, but they were not malicious. They just traveled throughout the body through the meridians to check her physical condition.

Is this the technique of [Martial Arts]? Not just looking at the heartbeat and pulse, but simply checking the pulse is equivalent to a full physical examination.

After a moment, the Valley Master opened his eyes and frowned slightly: "This girl is full of vitality and has strong bones. It is rare in the world to have such cultivation at this age... But I am not very talented and have not noticed any signs of poisoning in her. …”

"Ling Xin's evil poison is usually hidden, and will only appear when the vitality is stimulated." Tie Jingang nodded towards Ling Xin. Ling Xin understood, and the vitality in the body accelerated. When it reached a certain level, the expression on his face He showed a painful expression, his body trembled slightly, and blue-black scales began to appear.

The Valley Master was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly checked his pulse again. After a while, he showed a look of horror.

"It's actually this?!"

Hearing what Sun Yichen said, Tie Jinggang and Ling Xin's eyes lit up: "Valley Master, have you ever seen a similar situation?"

Sun Yichen let go of his hand and nodded: "About twenty years ago, Brother Yuan also sent a young man... Although the young man did not have scales on his body like this girl, he also had some strange changes. , his pulse condition at that time was very similar to that of this girl!”

"What happened to that young man?" Tie Jingang asked.

"I had just inherited the position of Valley Master at that time, and I had never seen such a strange situation. Later, I discussed and studied with many elders for many days, searched all the classics, and after several attempts, I finally found a way to suppress the evil in his body. poison."

"Really successful?" Tie Jinggang and Ling Xin looked happy, but they heard the Valley Master say: "But my method is only temporary suppression and cannot be completely eradicated. But according to Brother Yuan, suppression to this level is enough. He had other ways to get rid of the remaining poison, so he took the young man away. "

Tie Jingang and Ling Xin looked at each other. Since Mr. Yuan said so, they could only try this method.

"I hope the Valley Master will use that method again and help Ling Xin."

The Valley Master nodded: "Don't worry, since it is Brother Yuan's request, Mr. Sun will definitely go all out. You two, come with me."

Sun Yichen led Ling Xin and Tie Jingang out of the living room, walked through the courtyard, and all the way to the back of the sect, and walked to a deep and quiet path.

This place is located deep in a valley. Both sides of the road are lined with exotic flowers and plants that are rarely seen in the outside world. There is a strange fragrance in the mountain air.

"Be careful, you two, don't touch the flowers and plants here casually." As he walked, the Valley Master reminded: "Almost all the exotic flowers and plants here have medicinal uses, and many of them are highly toxic and very dangerous!"

Naturally, the two of them did not dare to move, and even activated the Gang Qi to protect their bodies to prevent accidental poisoning. Finally, at the end of the path, I saw a quiet courtyard.

The Valley Master came forward and knocked on the door: "Uncle Si Gu?"

Not long after, the door opened, and there was a boy in his teens, with beautiful faces and jade. When he saw Sun Yichen, he bowed and saluted: "Hello, senior brother, head master."

"Qinglian, where is your master?" the Valley Master asked.

"Master is practicing Gu in the alchemy room. Now is a critical time. I'm afraid it's not convenient to come out."

"It's okay, let's wait for her in the courtyard for a while." With that, Sun Yichen took Ling Xin and Tie Jing into the small courtyard. Qinglian went to the side to boil water, make tea to entertain a few people, and then went to do her own business. It's over.

"Valley Master, I just heard this kid call you senior brother?" Tie Jingang asked curiously.

"Oh, this courtyard is where Elder Si Gu lives." Sun Yichen introduced: "She is the most senior elder in the valley now. She is now over a hundred years old. She once studied under the founder of Yaowang Valley. I My master, the previous generation’s Medicine King Valley Master, has to call her Senior Sister. Naturally, her disciples will call me Senior Brother.”

"Back then, the founder of Yaowang Valley was a genius with extraordinary medical and martial arts skills. It was difficult for several disciples to learn all his skills, and they could only learn one true skill. Uncle Si Gu inherited the ancestor's skills. Master’s Gu skills. In today’s world, even among the major tribes in Southern Xinjiang, few can compare with her in terms of Gu skills.”

Tie Jinggang nodded after hearing this: "So that's it, that's really a high man."

Speaking of this, Sun Yichen sighed: "I, Master Si Gu, do not have much to say about my methods, but he has a weird temperament and does not like to be gregarious, so I opened a small courtyard for her alone in this quiet place in the valley. , for her to study with great concentration.”

"Over the past few decades, she has recruited many disciples, but none of them were satisfactory. After a short period of learning, she would be kicked out to other elders, so she has not had a serious successor for many years."

"Until a few years ago, when she traveled to southern Xinjiang, she brought back a child and insisted on accepting him as her disciple."

"Is this Qinglian?" Ling Xin looked at the child who was making medicine in the corner of the yard.

Valley Master Sun nodded: "She said that this child she met by chance during her travels was a good material for learning Gu. At that time, many disciples in the sect were opposed. After all, with Elder Si Gu's seniority, the disciples he accepted would have to be the same as other elders. , Even the same generation as me, the Valley Master. But Elder Si Gu would not listen to other people’s opinions, so in the end it was me who stood up and helped her hold the apprenticeship ceremony despite everyone’s opinions.”

"In the past few years, this child has grown up day by day. Indeed, as Uncle Si Gu said, he is a genius in learning the art of Gu. He has also received the true teachings from Uncle Si Gu. In time, he will definitely be the mainstay of my Medicine King Valley!"

While several people were saying this, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the alchemy room, and then thick smoke poured out from the gaps in the doors and windows.

"What happened?" Tie Jinggang and Ling Xin stood up, but saw the Qinglian child rushing up to open the door: "Master, what accident did you cause again?"

After a while, the boy brought out a skinny old lady with unkempt hair from the house. The old lady coughed as she walked out, and she could spit out a stream of black smoke when she opened her mouth...

"Uncle Si Gu." Valley Master Sun also stepped forward and helped her sit down: "What are you..."

"Oh... I'm old and useless..." The old lady sat at the table and took a sip of tea to calm down her shock: "Somehow, I made another mistake... the refining method of this Spirit Gathering Gu is too... It’s too complicated and my brain can’t remember it.”

"Didn't I write a note for you?" Qinglian said, "You take one step and see the other..."

"It's because of your note!" Elder Si Gu said half-blamingly: "The writing was too small, so I moved forward to see it clearly. By the time I could see it clearly, I had already missed the opportunity to administer the medicine... ugh... …You’re really old. Qinglian, next time you practice Gu, come with me.”

Qinglian declined with some trepidation: "Master, ordinary Gu is fine, but this Soul Gathering Gu is a major event related to the sect and even the entire martial arts world... I'm not capable enough, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of... Although you are young, your skills are already much better than many so-called Gu masters. That's it, come with me next time..." After finishing speaking, the old lady thought of asking the Valley Master: "Yes Come on, Yichen, why are you here? Is the Soul Gathering Gu still working?"

The Valley Master shook his head helplessly: "It's very useful. Thank you, Uncle, for developing this strange Gu. Now the disciples in the sect are practicing rapidly. As time goes by, the status of our Yaowang Valley in the martial arts will be greatly improved." ”

Si Gu nodded with satisfaction and looked at Tie Jingang and Ling Xin: "These two are..."

"Oh, these two are disciples of Bainamen." Valley Master Sun and Elder Si Gu briefly introduced the reason for their visit. Si Gu touched his wrinkled chin: "Oh, Yuan Shouzhen's granddaughter, you are so busy We really need help...come on, girl, come into the house with me."

"Elder Si Gu." Tie Jingang suddenly stopped the old lady: "I don't know how long it will take for Ling Xin's situation to be resolved?"

"According to last experience, it will take at least about a month..."

"So long?" Tie Jinggang and Ling Xin were slightly stunned.

"But this time it's different." The old lady smiled slightly: "Don't forget, we now have the Soul Gathering Gu. This thing is planted in the body and can greatly speed up the efficiency of vitality movement. The speed of detoxification will also be improved. Great improvement, I’ll give her a first-grade one, and it can be done in three days at most!”

"Spirit Gathering Gu..." Tie Jingang didn't trust this thing too much: "This thing won't have other effects, right?"

"Tsk, you don't know what is good or bad!" The old lady became anxious when she heard what he said: "Do you know how difficult it is to refine this thing? How many disciples in the sect want to get a third-grade one and they all fight for it, but I am in vain. I’m not happy to give you a first-class one!”

Valley Master Sun on the side explained: "Deacon Tie, don't worry, we have tried this Spirit Gathering Gu all over the Medicine King Valley, and there is indeed no harm in it."

"Forget it!" Elder Si Gu waved his hand: "Let's just wait until I get rid of this girl's evil poison and help her take out the poison. Such a good thing is in vain. If Yuan Shouzhen hadn't spoken, I really can’t bear to part with such a treasure!”
