Chapter 255 Medicine King Valley

The next morning, Luo Jun got up from bed and stretched his body. His joints crackled all over. It was already bright outside the window. He looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock, and it was past breakfast time.

Overslept? Why didn't anyone call me? It's not good to have a room by myself. I should have set an alarm earlier.

In fact, Luo Jun didn't sleep much last night. Because his Qi cultivation progressed slowly, after Ling Xin left, he sat in bed and practiced in the first half of the night. Although the effect was not much, it was better to have progress than not. A little bit makes a lot, and you can always reach the bottleneck of Pei Yuan Realm.

It was not until after four in the morning that he lay down to rest. I thought that sleeping for two or three hours would be enough, but I didn't expect to sleep until now.

Luo Jun opened the door and happened to see Xu Yiming walking towards this side. Seeing him come out, he was slightly stunned: "You woke up a long time ago? Why didn't you come out?"

To be honest, although Luo Jun had only slept for more than four hours, he didn't look tired at all. His eyes were bright and energetic!

"Oh, a little morning exercise." Luo Jun dealt with it, "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes..." As he said that, he handed over a set of pancakes wrapped in oil paper: "Since you didn't come down to eat, everyone guessed that you had been busy solving the case these two days, so they wanted you to sleep a little longer. They asked me to call you after everything was ready. This is the breakfast I brought for you."

"Thank you, godfather!" Luo Jun immediately took it and started to eat it. Xu Yiming smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I specially added an egg and chicken thigh for you. Eat slowly and don't choke."

While eating breakfast, he came to the yard and found that everyone was ready to go. The cars were assembled, but there was no horse.

Luo Jun thought of what Tie Jingang said when he first arrived in Yunzhou City, and thought to himself that it couldn't be true.

"Luo Jun has also come down, so the people are all here." Tie Jingang clapped his hands: "Now, there are only four days left before the stipulated time. We still have more than 300 miles to go, and we have to walk more than 80 miles a day on average. If we still use horses to pull the cart, we may not be able to catch up with the journey. So I decided that in the next four days, human power will take turns to pull the cart forward and rush to Yaowang Valley as quickly as possible!" Although they were mentally prepared, when they heard the news, the students still wailed. This carriage, including the cargo, must weigh at least a thousand pounds. The horses in the martial arts world are strong and strong, and they have to pull two horses to pull a carriage! Although the students are all practitioners, without luck, most of them are only five, seven or eight times the strength of ordinary people, and they are not as good as strong horses in pulling carts. Of course, the students' running of their vitality will greatly increase their strength, and after stimulating the Gangqi, their strength can even be more than ten times, but this combat state is also very consuming and cannot last long. However, according to Tie Jingang, this is also a kind of practice! He divided the forty-five students into five groups, nine people in each group, responsible for a carriage. He didn't care how the group was assigned to change shifts, but he had to ensure that the carriage moved forward at a stable speed!

Eighty miles a day, camping and resting when it got dark, which means that it was about five kilometers per hour during the day. Running at this speed was nothing to them, and they didn't feel tired after running for a whole day. But pulling thousands of pounds of goods was a test of endurance.

Of course, Tie Jingang also considered the lineup of the groups. The strength gap between the students was also very large. Ling Xin, Lao Miaomiao, Lu Fei, Xiao Tianlei, and Tianyang were not only in the state of condensing the mind, but also had a solid foundation in consolidating the foundation and cultivating the essence. This kind of weight was a piece of cake for them.

Except for a few of them, the rest of the state of condensing the mind, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the essence is basically the minimum standard of the third level. In battle, they can also fight well with the ability of condensing the mind, but they are not very good at this kind of work that tests basic endurance, but in general, they are also stronger than the general cultivation realm.

So when he divided the groups, he deliberately disrupted them according to their realms, ensuring that each group had a first-class master, and at the same time, the ratio of Condensation of Heart and Essence of Yuan was well controlled to prevent a group from falling behind.

As for the weakest Luo Jun, he was assigned to Lu Fei's group, which also included Xu Yiming and Zhao Jian. This was mainly because they had a good relationship and Lu Fei could take care of him. He also secretly told him that Luo Jun, who was in the Guben realm, would definitely fall behind when pulling a cart. Compared with this kind of endurance training, it would be better to let him find opportunities to cultivate more vitality and cultivate Yuan as soon as possible. If he could be arranged, try not to assign him the work of pulling a cart.

As compensation, Lu Fei's group also arranged an extra Condensation of Heart to help.

Although Luo Jun's realm was low, he got along well with everyone along the way and played an important role several times. These senior brothers and sisters were happy to take care of him, and no one had any complaints. Luo Jun was happy to be idle, following the carriage, walking while running Yuan Qi, and seizing the time to continue practicing.

Thanks to the efforts of the students, the team advanced faster than expected. The journey was smooth and they finally arrived at Yaowang Valley on the morning of the fourth day.

Yaowang Valley is located in the southwest of the Central Plains and south of Yunzhou City. It is the border between the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang. It is a mysterious valley with lush flowers and plants and exotic animals.

It is said that this place was the base camp of the Southern Xinjiang Blood Gu Cult. Although the people of Southern Xinjiang are proficient in Gu techniques, they were originally used to cure diseases and save lives. Later, they derived techniques such as Gu poison to hurt people. But as the saying goes, technology is dead and alive. The same knife can kill people and perform surgery to cure diseases. The same is true for Gu techniques. There is no distinction between good and bad, good and evil. It is just a unique technique of the people of Southern Xinjiang.

However, more than a hundred years ago, a blood-curd cult suddenly appeared, mainly active in the border area between southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains. They used witchcraft to control their followers to do evil, and even developed many cruel evil arts specifically used to harm people. They stirred up trouble in the martial arts world and became a cult that brought disaster to one side.

The people of southern Xinjiang once tried to fight against the blood-curd cult, but in terms of witchcraft, the blood-curd cult reached the pinnacle, far surpassing other masters of southern Xinjiang; the martial arts of the Central Plains also fought against this cult, but in the end, because they were not familiar with witchcraft, they were also beaten to a pulp by various strange tricks... For a while, no one could deal with this cult.

Until later, a master who traveled all over the land of Kyushu and was proficient in medicine found a way to break the witchcraft of the blood-curd cult, and finally united the masters of the two places to wipe out this scourge in one fell swoop. In order to thank this hero, after discussion, the valley where the blood-curd cult headquarters was located, which was rich in natural materials and treasures, was handed over to him, and it was renamed Yaowang Valley from then on. And that hero is the first master of Medicine King Valley.

Now, after hundreds of years of development, Medicine King Valley has become a major force spanning the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang. There are thousands of disciples in the valley. They are not only proficient in medicine, but also have a thorough study of Southern Xinjiang Gushu. It is especially famous for its abundant production of various elixirs. In the words of the main world, it is the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in [Wulin].

"Is this Medicine King Valley?"

The escort team came to a prosperous town. Although it is not very large, it is no less lively than Tongda Town. And as soon as you enter the town, you can smell the fragrance of medicinal materials in the air. There are stalls selling medicinal materials everywhere on the street, and more than half of the shops on the street are various medicine shops. Pedestrians on the street, looking at a table of clothes, are also from all over the world. Among them, in addition to drug dealers from all over the country, there are martial artists.

"This is Wanyao Market Town." Li Xinyu introduced: "It is the largest wholesale market for medicinal materials in the southwest of the Central Plains. Twenty miles to the south is Yaowang Valley."

"After all, Yaowang Valley is a martial arts sect. There are still many natural treasures in the valley. We can't just open the door and do business recklessly. So the valley is divided into inner and outer gates. The inner disciples practice martial arts and make medicine, while the outer disciples are responsible for running the sect's medicinal materials business. At first, there was only a market nearby, called Wanyao Market, which was convenient for selling the elixirs produced by the sect and purchasing medicinal materials. Later, it gradually attracted many medicinal material merchants to stay here, and gradually formed a small town, which is now Wanyao Market Town."

"The notice from Yaowang Valley is to ask guests to gather in Wanyao Market Town three days in advance. There will be outer disciples to receive us and should arrange accommodation for us." Song Qian introduced, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Isn't that Mingqing!" As she said, she shouted from a distance and waved.

Everyone looked over and saw a man in his thirties carrying a medicine box, who was negotiating with several martial artists. After noticing this, he smiled and nodded. After sending those people away, he walked over quickly.

"Isn't this Junior Sister Song and Senior Brother Li... Master has been talking about why you haven't arrived yet from Baina Sect..."

"We also encountered some things on the road and were delayed..." Li Xinyu smiled, and then said to Tie Jingang: "By the way, let me introduce you. This is our deacon of Baina Sect, Uncle Tie Jingang Tie; this is Mingqing, the three-box disciple of Yaowang Valley."

The disciples of Yaowang Valley all carry a medicine box with them. The structure of the box is different according to their level. The lowest-level disciples have a medicine box that is only the size of a palm and has one drawer, which is called a single-box disciple. The higher the level, the more complicated the medicine box is, and the more kinds of elixirs it can hold. The highest level is the elder level with five boxes, and the next level is the head of the sect.

The three-box disciples have a high status in the sect, especially in the outer sect, they are already considered as management and have considerable power.

Tie Jingang got to know Ming Qing and introduced: "These are the new disciples of Baina Sect. This time, I took advantage of the Valley Master's birthday to bring them out to broaden their horizons and gain some experience."

"Oh, Baina Sect has so many talents, it's really enviable." Ming Qing smiled and said: "The guest rooms prepared for everyone have been prepared long ago, I will arrange for everyone to check in."

While leading everyone to the residence, Ming Qing introduced: "In the past few days, more and more martial artists have arrived at Wanyaoji, and the inn we prepared before is not enough. I specially reserved this for Baina Sect... To be honest, someone asks me for a room every day, and I have been holding it."

"Thank you for your care, Junior Brother Mingqing." Li Xinyu seemed to be very familiar with Mingqing. At this time, the group passed by a square in the center of the town and found that workers were setting up a stage here.

"Hey? There are performances in town for the Valley Master's birthday?"

Ming Qing took a look and said with a smile: "Oh, that's not a stage, it's a ring!"

"Ring?" Deng Qian asked curiously: "There's still a ring?"

"By the way, you don't know yet..." Ming Qing slapped his forehead, then said mysteriously:

"This time, we summoned fellow martial artists here, in addition to celebrating the birthday of the head of the Valley Master, Yaowang Valley has another big thing to announce."
