Chapter 257 (4000) Elder Si Gu

"You said that we are both interns, so why did Ling Xin follow Teacher Tie to the valley?" Zhao Jian asked curiously while eating side dishes at the tea stand in the courtyard of the inn. "Can you compare with Ling Xin?" Xu Yiming pouted and said, "She is a member of the Ling family. I heard that the deputy leader of Shuangyue, Guan Hongyue, whom we met at the beginning, can't compare with her!" As he said that, he lowered his voice: "If she hadn't come to Ningdong to study, I'm afraid she wouldn't have had any intersection with us..." "Then isn't he also a student now?" Zhao Jian was quite dissatisfied. Since he knew that Ling Xin had no interest in him, he had some prejudice against this beautiful girl... Of course, Luo Jun analyzed that it was mainly because of the resistance after his narcissism was exposed. He felt a little embarrassed when he mentioned Ling Xin. "There are differences among students." Lu Fei took a sip of tea: "After the last battle against the virus, I have a feeling that the strongest person in our team may not be Teacher Tie, but this member of the Ling family."

"So powerful?" Zhao Jian and Xu Yiming widened their eyes. In their eyes, Tie Jingang was the strongest master besides the immortals and peak masters. In the classroom of the academy where masters are born in large numbers, he was also the main fighting force. How could he be inferior to a student?

Lu Fei nodded: "I only heard about it before, but this time I saw her magic-breaking golden sword, which is really powerful... But I always feel that she is hesitant to attack, and seems to have been restraining her strength. I don't know why?"

After hearing this, Luo Jun suddenly thought of Ling Xin's previous contamination in [Wild]. Normally, no matter how serious the contamination is, as long as it has not become a polluter, it can be purified in one month after returning to the main world. But if you count carefully, from the time they left [Wild] to the time Ling Xin appeared in [Wulin], it was less than 20 days. Could it be that her contamination has not been purified yet?

Yes, I have said in class that the pollution in different worlds is calculated separately. If you enter another different world with pollution, the pollution in the previous world will neither be purified nor deteriorated, but will begin to accumulate pollution in the new world. So, is it possible that Ling Xin still carries the pollution of [Wild], which makes her unable to fight with all her strength?

If that is the case, why did she come to participate in the internship? Wouldn't it be better to purify it in the main world first? Her strength is not bad for this internship experience... Could it be that her pollution is too heavy to be purified?

Luo Jun thought of the green scales he had seen on Ling Xin before. She should have been subjected to excessive pollution in the underground arena. Although she has not completely mutated, it should not be so easy to purify.

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

…………

The reception room of Yaowang Valley.

Tie Jingang and Ling Xin sat in the guest seats. In the host seat, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a fairy-like appearance was reading a letter.

Although he looks only about 40 years old, this person is indeed the current Medicine King Valley Master, Sun Yichen, who is celebrating his 60th birthday this year!

I have heard for a long time that Medicine King Valley is proficient in medicine, not only can it cure diseases and save lives, but it can also prolong life and maintain youth. Seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved.

Tie Jin just touched his big face. He is not even 40 years old yet he looks older than this Valley Master.

"Brother Yuan, you are too polite..." After reading the letter, the Valley Master looked at Tie Jingang: "It's just a birthday, but you prepared such a big gift. It's really expensive."

"No way." Tie Jingang clasped his fists and said: "The Valley Master and the Yuan Dai Sect Leader have been friends for many years. The feelings over the years cannot be measured by these material things. If the Dai Sect Leader hadn't been busy, he would have come to celebrate the Valley Master's birthday in person."

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

Tie Jingang nodded: "Yes, the girl's father is the adopted son of the Yuan Dai Sect Leader. He was killed by a villain many years ago. Over the years, the Yuan Dai Sect Leader has always treated her like his own granddaughter. It's a pity that this child has a miserable life. She was poisoned by an unknown evil poison a while ago. She has tried many famous doctors but to no avail. She can come to you for help."

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

Ling Xin walked 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 pulse gate and closed his eyes slightly.

Ling Xin was slightly stunned. She felt three weak breaths entering her body through the pulse gate, but there was no malice, just traveling through the meridians to check her physical condition.

Is this the skill of [Wulin]? Not only looking at the heartbeat and pulse, but simply taking a pulse is equivalent to doing a full body check.

After a while, the Valley Master opened his eyes and frowned slightly: "This girl is full of vitality and strong bones. It is rare in the world to have such a cultivation at this age... But forgive me for my lack of knowledge and did not notice 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 to Ling Xin. Ling Xin understood, and the vitality in her body accelerated. When it reached a certain level, a painful look appeared on her face, her body trembled slightly, and blue-black scales began to appear.

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

"It's actually this?!"

Hearing Sun Yichen say this, Tie Jingang and Ling Xin's eyes lit up: "Valley Master has seen a similar situation?"

Sun Yichen let go of his hand and nodded: "About 20 years ago, it was also Brother Yuan who sent a young man here... Although the young man did not have scales like this girl, he also had some strange changes. His pulse at that time was very similar to this girl's!"

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

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

"Really successful?" Tie Jingang and Ling Xin showed joy on their faces, but heard the Valley Master say: "But my method is only temporary suppression, and it cannot be completely eradicated. But according to Brother Yuan, suppressing to this extent is enough. He has other ways to remove the remaining residual poison, so he took the young man away."

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

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

The Valley Master nodded: "Don't worry, since it is Brother Yuan's request, Sun will definitely do his best. You two, follow me."

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

This place is located deep in the valley, and both sides of the road are rare flowers and plants in the outside world. There is a strange fragrance in the air in the mountains.

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

Naturally, the two did not dare to move, and they also stimulated the Gangqi to protect their bodies to prevent accidental poisoning.

Finally, at the end of the path, they saw a quiet courtyard.

The Valley Master went forward and knocked on the door: "Master Gu?"

After a while, the door opened, and a child in his teens, delicate and graceful, bowed and saluted when he saw Sun Yichen: "Hello, Senior Brother, Master."

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

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

"It's okay. We'll wait for her in the yard for a while." Sun Yichen said, leading Ling Xin and Tie Jingang into the yard. Qinglian went to the side to boil water and make tea for a few people, and then went to do his own thing.

"Valley Master, I just heard this child 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 100 years old. She once studied under the founder of Medicine King Valley. My master, the previous generation of Medicine King Valley master, has to call her Senior Sister. Her disciples naturally call me Senior Brother." "The founder of Medicine King Valley was a genius. He was the best in medicine, Gu and martial arts. Several disciples could not learn all his skills and could only learn one skill. Uncle Si Gu inherited the Gu technique of the ancestor. In the world today, even the major tribes in southern Xinjiang, when it comes to Gu techniques, few can compare with her." Tie Jingang He nodded: "So that's how it is, he is really an expert."

Speaking of this, Sun Yichen sighed: "My uncle Si Gu has great skills, but she has a strange personality and doesn't like to be sociable, so in this quiet place in the valley, a small courtyard was opened for her to concentrate on her research."

"Over the past few decades, she has recruited many disciples, but none of them were satisfactory. They would be driven away to other elders after a short period of study, so there has been no real successor for many years."

"Until a few years ago, when she went out to travel in southern Xinjiang, she brought back a child and insisted on taking him as a disciple."

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

Valley Master Sun nodded: "She said that she met this child by chance during her travels and that he was a good material for learning Gu Shu. At that time, many disciples in the sect opposed it. After all, with the seniority of Elder Si Gu, the disciple she accepted must be equal to other elders, or even me, the Valley Master. But Elder Si Gu would not listen to other people's opinions. In the end, I stepped forward and helped her hold the disciple-accepting ceremony against all odds."

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

As the few people were talking about this, they suddenly heard a loud noise from the alchemy room, and then billowing smoke poured out from the gaps in the doors and windows.

"What happened?" Tie Jingang and Ling Xin stood up, but saw that the Qinglian boy had already rushed to open the door: "Master, what accident did you cause again?"

After a while, the boy carried out a skinny old lady with disheveled hair and dirty face from the house. The old lady coughed while walking out, and a puff of black smoke could be sprayed out of her mouth...

"Uncle Si Gu." Valley Master Sun also walked forward to help her sit down: "What are you doing..."

"Oh... I'm old and useless..." The old lady sat at the table and drank a sip of tea to calm down: "I don't know why, I made a mistake in another step... The method of refining this Juling Gu is too complicated, and I can't remember it in my brain."

"Didn't I write a note for you?" Qinglian said: "Take one step and see..."

"It's because of your note!" Elder Si Gu half blamed: "The words were written too small, I leaned forward to see clearly, and when I saw it clearly, I had missed the opportunity to give the drug... Oh... I'm really old. Qinglian, next time I practice Gu, you accompany me." Qinglian declined a little embarrassedly: "Master, ordinary Gu is fine, but this Gathering Soul Gu is a matter related to the sect and even the entire martial arts world... I'm not good enough, I'm afraid..." "What are you afraid of... Although you are young, your level is much better than many so-called Gu masters. That's it, next time you come with me..." After saying that, the old lady seemed to want to ask the Valley Master: "By the way, Yichen, why are you here? Is the Gathering Soul Gu still useful?" 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 making rapid progress in their cultivation. In time, the status of our Medicine King Valley in the martial arts world will surely 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 Bai Na Sect." Valley Master Sun and Elder Si Gu briefly introduced the purpose of the two people's visit. Si Gu touched his wrinkled chin and said, "Oh, Yuan Shouzhen's granddaughter, I really have to help... Come on, girl, follow me into the house."

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

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

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

"But it's different this time." The old lady smiled slightly: "Don't forget, we now have the Soul Gathering Gu. This thing planted in the body can greatly speed up the efficiency of the circulation of vitality, and the speed of detoxification will also be greatly improved. I'll give her a first-grade one, and it can be done within three days at most!" "Soul Gathering Gu..." Tie Jingang didn't trust this thing too much: "This thing, won't have other effects?" "Tsk, don't know what's good for you!" The old lady heard him say this and got anxious at the time: "Do you know how difficult it is to refine this thing? How many disciples in the sect want to ask for a third-grade one and they are fighting for it. I'm not happy to give you a first-grade one for free!" The Valley Master Sun on the side explained: "Don't worry, Deacon Tie, this Soul Gathering Gu has been tried by everyone in the Medicine King Valley, and it really has no harm." "Forget it!" Elder Si Gu waved his hand: "Let's do this, wait until I get rid of the evil poison of this girl, and then help her take out the Gu. Such a good thing is wasted, if Yuan Shouzhen hadn't asked, I really couldn't bear to give up such a treasure!" …………
