Princess Wuyun is poisoned by a strange poison?
Lu Lan's brows suddenly furrowed.
Wuyun County is one of the six counties of Dawu Kingdom. There are five cities within its scope. Its economy and overall strength are many times higher than those of Baitao City.
To be able to become the princess of Wuyun County, let alone talents, at least the strength must be enough to control Sifang Xiaoxiao.
However, such a being is actually poisoned by a strange poison?
"Princess Wuyun was poisoned by a strange poison...Did the letter mention the reason for the poisoning?"
"No...the doctors couldn't find out the cause. At the same time, according to Princess Wuyun himself, he had never eaten or touched any poison, let alone been bitten by a poisonous beast and was poisoned."
Wen Wangu shook his head and said: "It is precisely because the cause of the poisoning is unknown and the toxicity is extremely strong that Princess Wuyun invites doctors from all walks of life."
"If Princess Wuyun hadn't been highly skilled in cultivation, she might not have survived for a few months."
"Then why should I go and treat Princess Wuyun on behalf of Lingjian Sect?"
Lu Lan asked.
"I'm looking for you because you know how to help Lu Yangzhong detoxify and treat injuries at a young age. I think you are also quite accomplished in medicine."
"In addition, one of the great rewards given by Princess Wuyun - if a doctor from a certain force cures him, then he will give that force a place to participate in the 'Hundred Sects Ranking Competition'."
Wen Wangu replied with a smile.
"One Hundred Sects Ranking Battle?"
This was the first time Lu Lan heard about it.
"The Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament is the largest event held by the royal family of the Great Martial Kingdom. It is held every three years, and each session will conduct a new round of rankings for the hundreds of sects in the Great Martial Kingdom."
"If a sect participates in the Hundred Sects Ranking Competition and achieves a certain ranking in the ranking competition, then the influence of this sect will be thoroughly spread throughout the world and attract many interested young practitioners to study. Gradually grow their strength.”
After taking a sip of tea, Wen Wangu continued:
"The reason why Dawu Kingdom has the name of the Four Major Sects is because those four sects firmly occupy the top four positions in almost every session, but their rankings only change occasionally."
"The Spirit Sword Sect was once on the Hundred Sects Ranking List, but because the disciples it sent to participate in the Hundred Sects Ranking Competition were too weak, the Spirit Sword Sect withdrew from the Hundred Sects Ranking List."
"Now they seem to be ready to go, and they just have one chance to get on the list."
I see……
Lu Lan nodded.
To put it simply, a sect that wanted to be on the Hundred Sect Rankings asked someone to treat Princess Wuyun on behalf of their sect in order to get a spot in the Hundred Sects Ranking Competition.
but……
"There must be many dark clouds surrounding Princess Wuyun's poisoning."
Lu Lan said calmly: "There is no need for me to put myself in danger just to help a sect I have never heard of."
"I knew you would say that."
Wen Wangu smiled slightly and said:
"I've heard from the Chu family master that you are looking for a medicinal ingredient called Eight Meridians Scrophulariaceae?"
"It just so happens that among the top ten ranked among the 100 sects, the tenth place will be rewarded with the Eight Meridians Scrophulariaceae."
"!!"
Lu Lan suddenly looked surprised.
Eight-veined Scrophulariaceae was indeed the medicinal material Lu Lan was looking for recently.
If you want to practice to the third level of [Dragon Elephant Fu Shi Jing], you first need to hone your physique.
Otherwise, with Lu Lan's current physique, he would simply not be able to withstand the terrifying power erupting from the third realm [Open Mountain].
The Eight Meridians Scrophulariaceae is one of the medicinal materials that Lu Lan has been looking for recently to strengthen her body.
"That is to say... I can make a request to Lingjian Sect. I will treat Princess Wuyun on their behalf. Will they agree to let me participate in the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament as a disciple of Lingjian Sect?"
Lu Lan spoke up.
"Yes, that's right."
Wen Wangu took out a letter from the ring, put it on the table and pushed it towards Lu Lan.
"I wrote a letter for you. You can pass it on to my brother. He should help you make arrangements after seeing this letter."
Lu Lan took the envelope. There was a red clay seal in the middle of the envelope, with the characters "Wen Yuren" engraved on it.
"Thank you Dean, this news is really important to me."
Lu Lan put the envelope away and thanked him gratefully.
"Haha, you are the most outstanding disciple in the history of my Chixiao Academy. It's too late for me to help you any more. This can only be regarded as a small favor, so there is no need to thank me."
Wen Wangu chuckled and said:
"Besides, if you can really reach the top ten in the Hundred Sects Ranking Tournament, you will also be honored by my Chixiao Academy!"
Lu Lan smiled slightly and nodded.
The next day.
After packing all his luggage, Lu Lan left Baitao City.
But this time, he wasn't alone.
He glanced at Chu Yun, who was also riding a horse beside him, and asked helplessly:
"Master, it's very dangerous for me to help Princess Wuyun get rid of the poison... Why do you want to follow her?"
"Tiantian told me that if you must travel far away, I have to stay with you and watch you."
Chu Yun said with a serious face.
"Why?" Lu Lan was confused.
"She's afraid you'll find another woman outside."
Chu Yun said: "As your master and your future wife's aunt, I also feel the need to watch you."
Lu Lan: "..."
Do you already have such a sense of crisis at such a young age?
No wonder I specifically asked him that night if it was true that premature loss of Yuan Yin would affect his practice...
However, on the way to Wuyun County, there were people accompanying me on the way, so I was not alone.
Starting from Baitao City, even if we travel day and night, it will take at least half a month to reach Wuyun County.
Fortunately, Chu Yun brought a map with her, otherwise the two of them, who had never traveled far apart from the Ice Lake Mountains, would have gotten lost halfway.
Helping people get rid of poisons cannot be delayed. Every time the poison stays in Princess Wuyun's body for one more day, Princess Wuyun will be closer to death.
Therefore, Lu Lan and Chu Yun hardly had much time to rest along the way.
More than half a month later.
Lu Lan and Chu Yun finally arrived in Wuyun County.
Because the princess of Wuyun County was poisoned by a strange poison, this major incident put the entire Wuyun County on alert. There was a long queue outside the city gate, and the city guards in front were strictly inspecting it.
Lu Lan and Chu Yun got off their horses and waited behind the long queue.
After a long time.
Finally they were almost in line.
The person in front of them at the moment was a stooped old woman, who seemed a little afraid of the stern-looking city guards.
While the city guards were checking the old woman's luggage and the road guide, a carriage passed from far to near, directly passed the team and came to the city gate.
The man riding the horse jumped down and pushed the old woman away arrogantly.
The old woman screamed in surprise and was pushed out a dozen steps, almost falling down.
However, at this time, Chu Yun appeared in time and supported her.
"Old lady, are you okay?"
Chu Yun asked in a gentle tone.
"It's okay, it's okay... Girl, you are a good person..." the old woman said quickly.
Chu Yun smiled slightly, then her face turned cold, and she said coldly to the strong man:
"As a profound practitioner, it is shameless to bully an old woman who has no power to fight back!"
Hearing Chu Yun's voice, the strong man who was letting the city guards pass turned around and his eyes brightened obviously.
Just when he was about to speak, an arrogant voice suddenly came from the carriage.
"Ma Xing, bring that woman to my car."
"She likes to be nosy so much. It's just right for her to mind my own business."
Ma Xing was startled, then quickly nodded to the carriage and said, "Okay, Second Young Master, I will take her to your carriage right now."
When he turned around, Ma Xing smiled gloomily and said:
"You unscrupulous bitch, if you hadn't been lucky enough to be spotted by the Second Young Master, you would have died today!"
"Let's go with me!"
With that said, Ma Xing reached out to catch Chu Yun.
At this time, a cold voice sounded.
"Hey, you idiot, if you dare to touch her, I will crush your second young master to death."
Hearing Lu Lan's cold voice, Ma Xing's expression changed drastically and he quickly turned around.
On the carriage, the second young man, who was dressed luxuriously, was grabbed by the neck by a young man at some point and was struggling desperately.
And the young man holding the second young master was looking at him indifferently.
