Chapter 927 Hope

Zhu Tai's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Everyone in the audience was talking a lot, it was unbelievable that Gu Jiuchen would choose to retire at this time.

Gu Jiuchen pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me any more." His eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on Ye Linglong, "Linglong has been suffering from the poison of 'Linglong Drunk' for many years. Now that the evil has been eliminated, we should also look for the antidote. , have some peaceful days.”

Everyone then remembered that Ye Linglong was poisoned and fell silent. They understood Gu Jiuchen's choice, but they also felt sorry for it.

In the end, the conference came to an end with mixed emotions. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong did not break their promise and passed the title of head of the Tianxian Sect to their eldest disciple Liu Yaonian, and then left the place they had fought for for many years.

However, the right path is in ruins, and the departure of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong makes the reconstruction work even more difficult. As the leader of the righteous path, Xuan Bing has to shoulder this heavy burden. He posted hero posts widely and summoned the heads of various factions to gather in Tianxian Sect to discuss reconstruction matters.

At the meeting, various factions had different opinions and arguments continued. Some people advocate taking advantage of the victory to pursue and completely eradicate the remnants of the demon sect; others believe that they should recuperate and regain their strength. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other, and the situation reached a deadlock for a time.

"That's enough!" Gu Jiuchen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and slapped the table, his strong internal energy making the tables and chairs buzz. "Now that the evil has just been subdued and the righteous path needs to be united, you are here arguing endlessly. How can you behave like this!"

Everyone was frightened by Gu Jiuchen's momentum and immediately became quiet.

Gu Jiuchen

Looking around, he said in a deep voice: "Although Linglong and I have retired, we still care about the common people in the world. The day I don't understand 'Linglong drunk', the day I can't rest at ease. I decided to stay in the Tianxian Sect with Linglong, Assist Xuan Bing in handling righteous matters until the antidote is found."

Ye Linglong also stood up and said: "Yes, although I am poisoned, I still have the strength to fight. For the sake of the world and to find the antidote as soon as possible, I am willing to fight side by side with Jiuchen!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they heard Elder Lin say tremblingly: "Sect Master, madam, I may know the whereabouts of the antidote to 'Linglong Zui'..."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly became energetic and all their eyes fell on Elder Lin.

"Say!" Gu Jiuchen spoke urgently, with hope shining in his eyes.

Elder Lin took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is said that the antidote formula of 'Linglong Zui' is hidden in the forbidden area of ​​Tianxian Sect..."

Elder Lin's words were like a bolt of lightning in the darkness, illuminating the eyes of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong. Hope is rekindled at this moment.

"Forbidden area?" Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly, "Do you know the specific location?"

Elder Lin shook his head and looked ashamed, "I also accidentally saw this record in an ancient book. The specific location is not clear. I only remember that the book mentioned that the entrance to the forbidden area is hidden in a place called 'Sword'." Tomb' place."

In the Sword Tomb, after the sword masters of the Tianxian Sect passed away, their swords would return here. Over time, a sea of ​​swords filled with chilling aura was formed. That place is one of the forbidden areas of the Tianxian Sect. It is shrouded by formations all year round and is difficult for outsiders to enter.

"Without further ado, we

Then set off for the Sword Tomb. "Gu Jiuchen made a quick decision and pulled Ye Linglong to set off.

"Wait a minute!" Xuan Bing said to stop him, "The Sword Tomb is extremely dangerous and dangerous, so don't go there hastily. I have ordered people to gather elite disciples from each faction, and we will go there together tomorrow morning."

Gu Jiuchen was concerned about Ye Linglong's safety and did not want to wait any longer, but he also understood that this matter was not trivial. It would be difficult for him and Ye Linglong to deal with the unknown dangers in the sword tomb alone.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Gu Jiuchen took Ye Linglong, together with Xuan Bing and other righteous masters, to the entrance of the sword tomb. I saw clouds and mist lingering here, gloomy winds gusting, and countless broken swords stuck on the ground, exuding a cold chill, which was daunting.

Gu Jiuchen and others did not dare to be careless. They each took out their magic weapons and carefully stepped into the sword tomb.

In the sword tomb, the space is distorted and foggy. Every step you take feels like you are stepping on the tip of a knife. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Everyone went through all the obstacles and cracked many traps. Finally, three days later, they came to a huge stone door.

The stone door is carved with intricate runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"This should be the entrance to the forbidden area." Gu Jiuchen carefully observed the runes on the stone door, feeling faintly excited.

He and Ye Linglong looked at each other, and they both took action at the same time, injecting spiritual power into the stone gate.

Boom!

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep and dark passage.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked in without hesitation, followed closely by Xuan Bing and others.

At the end of the passage is a secret room.

In the center of the secret room, there is a simple stone platform. On the stone platform, there is a book

Yellowed ancient books.

The clue to the antidote to "Linglong Drunkness" is right in front of you!

The atmosphere in the secret room was depressing. Gu Jiuchen opened the ancient book and studied it carefully, but his brows became tighter and tighter. The "Linglong Drunk" antidote formula recorded in the book requires medicinal materials that are rare in the world, and some of them are unheard of.

"What should I do?" Ye Linglong was anxious, but she also understood that she needed to calm down more at this time, "Are we just going to give up like this?"

"Of course not." Gu Jiuchen closed the book and said firmly, "I will definitely find the antidote and cure you."

Seeing this, Zixia and Qingfeng on the side also took the initiative to ask for help, "Junior sister/Linglong, you can rest in peace and recover, and leave the matter of finding medicinal materials to us!"

The two acted separately, using their respective connections to inquire about the whereabouts of rare medicinal materials. The hard work paid off. A few days later, Zixia received a letter from a hermit. The letter mentioned that he knew the whereabouts of one of the medicinal materials, but they needed to go there in person before he could tell them.

After discussing with Ye Linglong, Gu Jiuchen decided to go in person. The two of them disguised themselves to avoid the eyes and ears of the Demon Cult, and followed the instructions in the letter to arrive at an inaccessible valley.

The valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, full of aura, and several thatched houses can be seen vaguely hidden in it. A white-haired old man sat cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, as if he had anticipated their arrival.

"Are you here to look for the 'Seven Star Begonia'?" The old man slowly opened his eyes and spoke calmly.

Gu Jiuchen was shocked. This "Seven Star Begonia" was the most critical medicinal ingredient in the antidote formula, and it was also the one they had been searching for for many days without success.

"How did senior know?" Gu Jiuchen suppressed the excitement in his heart

, asked respectfully.

The old man smoothed his beard and pointed to the depths of the valley, "I have lived here in seclusion for many years and know every plant and tree in this valley very well. 'Seven Star Begonia' grows on the cliff in the deepest part of the valley, but..."

"Just what?" Ye Linglong asked eagerly.

The old man sighed, "It's just that the cliff is steep and has been shrouded in miasma all year round. It's also guarded by guardian spirit beasts. Getting the 'Seven Star Begonia' is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

Despite the difficulties, Gu Jiuchen decided to take the risk for Ye Linglong. He expressed his gratitude to the old man and headed to the cliff with Ye Linglong.

However, just as the two were about to reach the cliff, an accident happened.

"Haha, it's really hard to find a place through iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here! Gu Jiuchen, your death has come!"

Along with a burst of wild laughter, dozens of black shadows sprang out from the dense forest, surrounding Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

"It's the remnants of the Demon Sect!" Gu Jiuchen's face darkened, and he protected Ye Linglong behind him. The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, the cold light shining brightly.

A few days later, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong returned to the Tianxian Sect carrying the Seven-Star Begonia. Zixia and Qingfeng had already prepared the other medicinal materials and were just waiting for this key ingredient.

In the alchemy room, the fragrance of medicine filled the air, and the flames burned brightly under the alchemy furnace. Gu Jiuchen looked focused as he put the rare medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace in the order recorded in the ancient book. His technique is skillful and every step is accurate. He is obviously quite accomplished in alchemy. Ye Linglong was protecting him from the side, her clear eyes staring at the alchemy furnace for a moment, her heart full of expectation and anxiety.

Time is suffering

Minutes passed by, and finally, a crisp buzz came from the alchemy furnace, and a refreshing fragrance of medicine came to the nostrils. A flash of joy flashed in Gu Jiuchen's eyes, and he quickly made a secret and took out a crystal clear pill from the pill furnace.

"Is this the antidote?" Zixia and Qingfeng came forward and curiously looked at the elixir that exuded a faint golden light.

"Not bad." Gu Jiuchen nodded and handed the elixir to Ye Linglong, "Linglong, take it."

Ye Linglong took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. The elixir melts immediately in the mouth, turning into a warm current flowing into the limbs and bones. However, after a moment, Ye Linglong's face suddenly turned ugly.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jiuchen's heart suddenly sank, he grabbed her hand and asked nervously.

Ye Linglong shook her head and said in a weak tone: "I feel... my body seems to be getting colder..."

Gu Jiuchen's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly checked her pulse, only to find that her pulse was disordered, and the flow of Qi in her body was stagnant, as if she was even more poisoned!

"How could this happen?" Elder Lin also looked shocked. He carefully checked the elixir and read ancient books, but he still couldn't find the reason. "There are no problems with the formula and refining method of this elixir. Why..."

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, Xuan Bing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Perhaps, the problem is not the elixir itself, but the 'Linglong Drunk' in Linglong's body."

"What do you mean?" Gu Jiuchen frowned.

"'Linglong Zui' is the secret medicine of the Demon Cult. No one knows its formula and toxicity."

Some unknown change. "

Gu Jiuchen's heart trembled. Could it be that the "Linglong drunk" in Linglong's body had some secrets that they didn't know? What does the failure of the antidote mean?
