On this day, Xu Wen, who was meditating, suddenly felt a fluctuation in the formation.
Judging from the size of the fluctuations, it was not a transmission note, but someone directly touching the magic circle.
Feipu Yazhu is very remote, and Xu Wen has many secrets. There are only a handful of people who know that he lives here, and even if they know, it is probably through telegraph communication.
The other party didn't need to use telephony, but came here directly. Something extremely important must have happened.
After getting up and checking the scene outside, Xu Wen couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he still untied the formation and walked out slowly.
With a worried look on his face, Haihuolu dragged someone in and hurried in. It was Wu Gandang.
Wu Gandang was covered in blood and his right arm was completely severed. Although he was still conscious, he had basically lost his ability to move and was completely dragged away by the sea coral.
Judging from Hai Coral's anxious and hesitant look, the relationship between the two is not an ordinary one.
Xu Wen has been practicing meditation in the past few years and has not paid much attention to the outside world. He has no idea that the two of them are already getting along.
Seeing Xu Wen, Haihual immediately begged loudly:
"Sister-in-law, I dare to think that his Dantian was injured and he was poisoned. Please give me a helping hand."
At this point, she was worried that Xu Wen would not understand the relationship between the two, so she simply gritted her teeth and said loudly:
"A year ago, I... Gandang and I got married. Because you were meditating, I didn't dare to disturb you!"
Wu Gandang is a very good person. Even if there is no sea coral, Xu Wen who can help will also lend a hand.
Of course, without sea coral, that's all.
For ordinary friends, Xu Wen would not be able to dig out his heart and soul and waste all his energy.
But with Hai Coral, he is Xu Wen's brother-in-law, which is naturally very different.
With a wave of his hand, rejuvenation, detoxification, and essence condensation techniques flew towards Wu Gandang.
Hai Coral had cast similar spells before, but the earth-attribute skills she practiced were also at a lower level, and the effect was far less effective than Xu Wen, who had practiced Qinghuang Gong.
After a few spells, Wu Gandang's originally somewhat scattered soul suddenly consolidated, and his eyes regained some of their sparkle.
Xu Wen took out another second-level spiritual peach and wanted Wu Gan to take it, but he didn't even have the strength to eat the spiritual peach.
Haihuan didn't care about being shy, took the spirit peach and bit into it. After chewing a few mouthfuls, she fed Wu Gandang mouth to mouth and swallowed it.
Seeing this scene, Xu Wen couldn't help but sigh.
Sea coral is very beautiful. After the foundation was successfully built, there were many suitors.
Basically, they are all masters of foundation building, some are suave, some are from well-off families, or some are disciples of Bazhou Mountain.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xu Wen could tell that Chu Yin actually had some interest in sea coral.
Chu Yin and Hai Hualu had a deep friendship. They knew each other before Xu Wen. He almost gave up his life in order to help Hai Hualu obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Moreover, Chu Yin is also a good person. Although he is a bit arrogant, he values love and justice and dares to take action.
In Xu Wen's opinion, it would be best for the two of them to get married.
But Haihualu did not take a fancy to those second-generation immortals, nor did he take a fancy to Chu Yin, who was an old friend. Instead, he took a fancy to Wu Gandang, who had nothing. Xu Wen could only shake his head secretly...
When it comes to relationships, outsiders mostly judge them from a utilitarian point of view, but the two people involved will most likely obey emotional impulses.
After eating the spiritual peach, Xu Wen gave Wu Gandang another pill and personally sorted out his magic power.
Although they were both foundation builders, his cultivation and knowledge were far beyond those of Hai Coral. The matter that Hai Coral was helpless about was not a difficult problem for Xu Wen.
Two hours later, Wu Gandang suddenly vomited several mouthfuls of black blood, and his breath finally stabilized.
Xu Wen took him to find a spiritual doctor in Jie Tian City and reconnected the broken arm.
Spiritual medicine is also one of the hundred arts of cultivation, and is specifically responsible for solving problems that cannot be solved by the practitioner's own magic power.
For example, if a limb is reused after a severed limb is reused, most of the deformed or lost functions will be restored by the cultivator himself, which may affect the path, so it is best to ask a spiritual doctor to take action.
In addition to the alchemy and talismans, spiritual doctors are considered to have a relatively high status among the various arts of cultivation.
The spiritual doctor from Jie Tian City has already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and his cultivation level is still above that of Xu Wen.
It is extremely difficult for Wu Gandang, a Qi refiner, to hire such a person, not even Haihuan, and only Xu Wen has this kind of face.
A month later, Wu Gandang and Hai Huanhuan, whose right arm had initially recovered, came to say thank you.
When they saw Xu Wen, the couple bowed deeply and thanked Xu Wen for his kindness in protecting the country.
If it hadn't been for Xu Wen this time, even if Wu Gandang survived, his right arm would probably not be saved.
Although a cultivator is not unable to practice without an arm, the lack of some meridians and acupuncture points has a great impact on practice, and it is very likely that the path will be cut off.
Xu Wen's help this time was tantamount to saving Wu Gandang's career, so he couldn't thank him enough.
After lifting the two of them up and letting them sit aside, Xu Wen asked strangely:
"Junior Brother Wu, you are always cautious. What happened to you this time? How could you suffer such a big loss?"
Wu Gandang's expedition team was severely damaged this time. Four of the eight people died on the spot, and the four who escaped were seriously injured.
One of them died later, and the other two suffered damage to their Dantian and were unable to make further progress in their lives.
After all, his expedition team was almost wiped out.
"We were all careless, we never expected..."
Wu Gandang shook his head repeatedly and told the story with a wry smile.
It turned out that this time they followed their previous exploration route, looking for elixirs to the south and hunting monsters along the way.
When passing a cliff, they discovered a crack no more than a foot wide, with many hidden spirit flowers growing in it.
Hidden Spirit Flower is an expensive elixir, which is very precious to monks in the Qi Refining Stage. Of course, they are not willing to give it up.
Therefore, regardless of the unfavorable terrain, they forcibly dug a passage in the cracks of the rocks to pick the Tibetan Spirit Flowers.
As a result, they were attacked by some kind of strange poisonous insect halfway. They were in the cracks. They had no way to escape or hide, and they suffered heavy casualties immediately.
After hearing Wu Gandang's narration of the whole thing, Xu Wen could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
This is actually not their fault. Casual cultivators have no fixed income and can only take risks.
How can you let go of a magical medicine when you encounter it? Even if it may be dangerous, you must find a way to pick it.
This tragic encounter can only be said to be due to bad luck and beyond human power.
After a long silence, Wu Gandang raised his hand and took out something from his storage bag, handed it to Xu and asked:
"When I was picking Tibetan Spirit Flowers, I accidentally discovered this. I always felt that there was something extraordinary about that place..."
When he took it over and took a look, he saw that it was a stone. The upper half was completely the same as an ordinary stone, but the lower half became crystal clear, with a hint of aura surrounding it.
Xu Wen stood up suddenly and looked at Wu Gan:
"You mean, there... there..."
Wu Gandang showed a sad smile and whispered:
"Junior is just guessing, not sure!"
After that, he pulled out a map that was obviously hand-drawn by himself and said seriously:
"Those places are not something I can pry into. This is a map. If you are interested, senior, you can go and have a look. If you really can, really can..."
Having said this, he hesitated a little and said in a deep voice:
"I just hope that senior can reward my brothers so that they will not end up living on the streets!"
"Don't worry, if I find out, I will never treat any of you badly. You can trust me 100%!"
Putting his eyes away from the inconspicuous little stone, Xu Wen looked steadily at Wu Gandang and Hai Coral and said seriously.
…
At Feipu Yazhu, Wu Gandang and Hai Hualou had left. Xu Wen kept pacing by himself, holding the stone and looking at it again and again.
After a moment, he no longer hesitated, packed up his things, quietly left Jietian City, followed the map, and flew south.
Haihuo has to take care of Wu Gandang and cannot go out. Chu Yin, Zhang Jiuting, and Nie Laojiu have things to do and are not in the city.
This matter is of great importance. If someone else gets there first, the loss will be great. He can only set off alone.
The rock cliff where Wu Gandang and others went was very far away, in the middle area between Bazhou Mountain and Liuyun Valley, not very far from the fairy cave that Xu Wen and others explored last time.
Although Liuyun Valley temporarily retreated during the last battle in Jietian City, no one knew secretly what their plans were.
As he was getting closer to Liuyun Valley, Xu Wen did not dare to fly in the air in a big way. He put away his escaping light and activated his invisible clothes. Xu Wen flew cautiously among the treetops.
Ten days later, a small mountain on each side and a taller peak in the middle came into view.
Wu Gan thought they called the highest peak Simian Mountain, and the stone cliff was just below the peak to the west of Simian Mountain.
After quietly entering the mountain peak and taking a few steps, Xu Wen suddenly stopped.
At his feet, some broken pieces of cloth and a few bones showed that a battle had occurred here not long ago.
His consciousness swept over, and with a wave of his hand, a broken long knife and several spider legs flew up.
Xu Wen recognized this knife as it was the magical weapon of one of Wu Gan's brothers. As for those spider legs, they were naturally the monsters living in the crevices of the cliff.
Continuing forward, around a mountain col, a stone cliff about a hundred feet high appeared, covered with various vines. A long and narrow gap was hidden among the vines, making it very hidden.
If Wu Gandang hadn't given him this map, Xu Wen would never have noticed this place.
He opened the vines and looked around, and sure enough, he found an artificially enlarged entrance more than 20 feet above the ground. It was obviously made by Wu Gandang and several people.
The entrance is not big, just enough for one person to step in sideways.
It's not their fault. Being in such a dangerous and unpredictable wilderness, they certainly don't dare to make too much noise and don't want to waste time and effort.
It's just picking some hidden spiritual flowers, and it's not a temporary settlement. Naturally, I just want to complete this task with the minimum energy.
They had done reconnaissance beforehand, but the other party's hiding ability was far superior to theirs.
Being ambushed by monsters whose numbers far exceeded theirs in such terrain, death was almost inevitable.
