Mu Jingyu knew that the drunkard was right. In order to protect himself in Longshou Mountain, Lilong had consumed most of the spiritual energy condensed over thousands of years. Now, it has turned into a little earthworm, sleeping in the Jiuyaoxuan Light Chain.
The most urgent task is to find those nine ancient spiritual stones that no one has ever known about.
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the outskirts of Yaowang Valley. Looking down, I saw countless villagers working in farmland. Come to think of it, after six or seven days, the Medical Immortal has led the disciples of the Medicine King Valley to dissolve the poison of the Seven-Day Immortal Peak.
However, the drunkard did not become happy because of this, but became more and more worried. Originally, according to his original estimate with the Medical Immortal, even if he poured out the power of Medicine King Valley, it would take at least eight or nine days to remove the poison from these more than a thousand villagers.
Only seven days have passed, and the thousands of villagers have returned to normal. That must be the result of the medical fairy risking his life and doing his best to treat him. Although the lives of thousands of villagers were saved, the situation of the medical fairy became even more dangerous.
Just when the drunkard was worried about the medical fairy, he suddenly saw a familiar breath coming from not far ahead. It made his already anxious mood slightly relieved.
"I didn't expect that the old sister has already arrived. My good disciple, hurry up. Master, you must speed up." As he spoke, the wine gourd turned into a meteor and disappeared in the northern sky.
In just a moment, Mu Jingyu could already see the woods outside Yaowang Valley. But as soon as the two of them reached the edge, they saw a figure rushing up from below the dense forest, blocking their way.
"Senior Qijue, are you okay?" Mu Jingyu saw the person coming at a glance. It was the Qijue scholar who attracted a group of ghosts to leave two days ago.
"You brat, are you cursing me?" Scholar Qi Jue raised his eyebrows coldly and reprimanded him coldly.
Mu Jingyu immediately understood why Scholar Qi Jue suddenly became angry, and he quickly smiled and said: "Senior, who is a celestial being, it is impossible for all the little demons from the Demon Underworld Hall to do anything to you! Jingyu I just said something random for a moment, I hope you will forgive me, senior."
The drunkard drove the wine gourd and came to the side of Qijue Scholar. He first glanced at Yaowang Valley deep in the dense forest, and then asked in a somewhat joking tone: "Old sister, you have already arrived at Yaowang Valley. Why?" Why don’t you go in first and check out the situation?”
Scholar Qi Jue didn't know what the drunkard meant, so he glared at him and said, "Huh! If I weren't worried about you and this stupid boy, I would have gone in already!"
"Then..." The drunkard rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and said, "Sister, will you lead the way first? Zhong Kang, take this good disciple like me and follow behind you."
"You!" Qi Jueshu raised his hands angrily, pretending to be angry: "Situ Zhongkang, if you are talking nonsense, be careful, I will return to Zhenleize immediately!"
When the drunkard saw that Scholar Qi Jue was angry, his momentum immediately weakened, as if he was really afraid that she would turn around and leave in a fit of anger. He quickly said with a smile: "Old sister, please calm down, old sister, please calm down! Little brother, please go ahead and lead the way. This is where you are." Lead the way forward.”
Scholar Qi Jue snorted coldly and followed the drunkard into the dense forest surrounding the Medicine King Valley.
Mu Jingyu couldn't help but smile knowingly as he watched the two nearly 100-year-old men playing around. Looking at the familiar dense forest, something suddenly came to mind.
"Master, when you were in Linjin City, didn't you ask Master Taier to inquire about the disciples in Yaowang Valley?"
"Oh, you're talking about that thing." The drunkard replied: "After Master Taier took us back to Linjin City, he told me the situation he found out."
Mu Jingyu asked: "What's the result? Can you tell... which one is called Wan Shi Dao Quan, or are there any suspicious things about the other disciples?"
The drunkard shook his head and said: "After I told him, Master Taier left his disciples and went to inquire about the situation. But firstly, the time was too short, and secondly, the disciples in Yaowang Valley rarely walked around Jiuzhou, and he didn't have any time. Find out any useful information."
"Then...should we still be careful? What if, as you expected, there is a spy in Yaowang Valley..."
Scholar Qi Jue was behind. After listening to the two people's incoherent sentences, he roughly guessed what he was saying. He interrupted Mu Jingyu and said, "Zhong Kang, what exactly did you find? Tell me about it, too." Maybe it can also provide some useful clues.”
The drunkard didn't want to tell Scholar Qi Jue about these things, lest she worry about them. But then I thought about it. Scholar Qi Jue has been staying in the hinterland of Yaoming Palace all year round and is very familiar with some of the spirits in the palace. Maybe he can get some clues accidentally.
Now he revealed all his doubts about Wan Daoquan a few days ago.
After listening to this, Qijue Scholar frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said: "I still know something about this person. However, I haven't found any connection between him and Yaoming Palace. Zhongkang, are you mistaken?"
The drunkard breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I hope I guessed wrong..."
Then he relaxed his tone and comforted the two of them: "Maybe I really think too much."
Mu Jingyu said seriously: "Master, don't worry about whether there is any problem with Wan Dao Quan, we can't take it lightly. Once we enter the valley, we will observe it in secret. If we really find something suspicious, we can do something about it. Be on guard.”
"It seems that this is the only way." After the drunkard nodded, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, and whispered to the two of them: "There are disciples from Yaowang Valley ahead, let's put this matter aside In your heart, you must never show it.”
Mu Jingyu and Qijue Scholar both nodded at the same time, replied with a "understood" sentence, and then fell into silence.
"Senior Jiu, Xiaoyou Mu, are you two?"
I saw a middle-aged man coming from the front. After seeing the three people from a distance, he laughed and asked.
"Hahaha, nephew Gu has really good eyesight. He can see us clearly from such a distance." Following the drunkard's words, the man had already come closer. It was Gu Shakong, the eldest disciple of the Medical Immortal Seat.
"Brother Gu!" Mu Jingyu stood behind him and bowed his hands from afar.
Gu Shakong nodded slightly, saying hello to him, and then looked at the Qijue scholar next to him. His expression was stunned at first, and then turned into surprise.
"Is this senior... a Qijue scholar as famous as my master and senior Jiu?"
Qijue Scholar stood there coldly and proudly: "Huh, you have some good eyesight. I seldom walk around Kyushu, so I didn't expect you to recognize me at a glance."
Wanting to compare with the indifference of the Qi Jue scholar, Gu Shakong was extremely excited! Nowadays, the situation of medical immortals is very critical, and there are few innate masters needed to refine elixirs. At this moment, seeing Qijue Scholar, a person whose cultivation level is higher than that of the Medical Immortal and the Drunkard, wouldn't it be possible to speed up the process of refining the elixir even more?
"Senior, what are you talking about?" Gu Shakong said sternly: "Although you rarely move around Jiuzhou anymore, your reputation as Qijue Scholar has never disappeared."
Hearing Gu Shakong's smooth flattery, Qijue scholar felt extremely relieved even though his face was still cold. He just kept a straight face and asked in a cold voice: "How is your damn master doing now? He wouldn't have passed away long ago! If that's the case, tell me as soon as possible to avoid wasting time."
Although these words were unpleasant to say, several people could still hear the deep concern in Scholar Qi Jue's tone.
"Hey~~~!" Gu Shakong sighed: "Two seniors, Mu Xiaoyou, let's talk while walking."
Along the way, Gu Shakong told several people in detail what happened in the past few days.
It turned out that since the drunkard took Mu Jingyu to the Dan Chan Mountain to steal the elixir, the Dan Demon seemed to have guessed the two of them and must have been thinking of something.
In just three or two days, he took the Withered Bone Demon King and other spirits from the Demon Underworld Palace, and while the disciples of Yaowang Valley were busy rescuing the villagers and had no time to pay attention to them, they once again spread the Seven-Day Immortal Pill all over the place. In more villages, more than a thousand villagers were poisoned.
As a result, the pressure on the disciples of Medicine King Valley increased. When the medical fairy saw more villagers being carried to the Medicine King Valley, he ignored the obstruction of a group of disciples and forcibly treated the poison of these villagers.
However, after many days of continuous treatment, the medical immortal's already unbearable body could no longer hold on. Originally, I could still hold on for more than ten days, but now, I'm afraid I can't even hold on for ten days.
Hearing this, the three of them felt even heavier. I never expected that the Alchemy Demon would attack again, forcing the Medical Immortal to accelerate the consumption of spiritual energy in his body!
"Let's go!" Scholar Qi Jue waved his hand and flew over the crowd first, flying towards the ancient thatched cottage where the Medical Immortal lived in the Medicine King Valley.
The drunkard looked at Scholar Qi Jue's slightly panicked expression and lamented in his heart: "Hey, it seems that my sister still can't let go of this old guy Hu Mantian..."
Outside the thatched cottage, the other two disciples of the Medical Immortal were standing at the door. After seeing the Qi Jue scholar speeding towards him, they both stood up and looked at her warily.
"Junior brother and junior sister, please open the door quickly and let Senior Qi Jue enter the room!" Gu Shakong shouted loudly from afar.
When the two heard this, they were both stunned. Then after looking at each other, each showed an expression of surprise.
Before Qijue Scholar landed, Luo Binning had already reached out and pushed open the door. I saw a figure quickly passing by and disappearing into the dim thatched cottage.
"Senior Jiu, Brother Mu!" Wan Daoquan looked at the three people in front of him and said with his hands raised.
The drunkard nodded slightly and turned his head to look at Wan Daoquan without leaving any trace. Seeing that his expression was calm and normal, he then ordered: "The three of you will stay outside the door for the time being. Without our instructions, you must not step into the door."
After saying that, he held Mu Jingyu with one hand and stepped into the thatched house. As the door slammed shut, a layer of innate barrier was placed to prevent anyone outside the door from eavesdropping.
Mu Jingyu had just stood still, and before he could adapt to the dimness in front of him, he heard the old voice of the Medical Immortal: "Hey... Meng Xiao, I didn't expect Zhong Kang to invite you here anyway."
Scholar Qi Jue did not answer. Instead, he came to the Medical Immortal in one swift step and reached out to touch his wrist. The expression on his face gradually turned pale from the solemn look at the beginning.
When the drunkard saw this, he secretly thought something bad and asked cautiously: "Sister, how is the old man's situation...?"
Scholar Qi Jue withdrew his palm with a swipe, and then swung it out. The barrier that the drunkard had just laid was instantly opened, and the door was opened with a bang, revealing Gu Shakong and the other three who were looking surprised.
Before anyone could understand what was going on, they heard Scholar Qi Jue shouting sternly: "The secret room needed for alchemy is ready! Take us there immediately!"
"Oh? Oh! The secret room has been prepared a long time ago. Senior, please come with me!" Gu Shakong reacted quickly and immediately understood that Scholar Qi Jue must have discovered the medical fairy's condition and could no longer tolerate any further delay. He quickly led the way and led everyone towards the valley not far away.
