"Well, that's true." Ling'er nodded.
"From now on, you should continue to carry out business as usual. You will continue to do whatever you normally do. The secret base will continue to operate as usual. We will also use Liniao to deliver messages."
Sima Ling'er looked at Zhou Yang and did not interrupt. She knew there was more to come.
"However, the message we use to convey the bird cannot be empty, which will easily arouse their suspicion. The message must have a certain value. As for what kind of value, we can control it ourselves. From now on, our real secret messages must not be Use the bird to pass it on."
"I understand. How to deliver it?"
"There is no other way, just find a reliable person to travel between Wanjian Island and Anping City."
"That's all we can do now." Ling'er said helplessly.
"Is there anyone reliable?"
"Lin Cheng is qualified for the job. He has been with me for five years and is very trustworthy. The key is to do things safely, unlike Feng Quan, who is frizzy."
"Okay. But you have to find a reasonable excuse, otherwise Wanjianmen will also become suspicious. In addition, we have to reset a password that only the two of us know."
"clear."
That night, Zhou Yang did not stay in Sima Ling'er's room. Both of them were thin-skinned and couldn't pull off that face. Of course, it was also to avoid suspicion. There are so many people in Qingxia Palace, how dare they.
Early the next morning, Sister Qiang Xia came to visit Sima Ling'er and Zhou Yang, accompanied by a cultivator in his fifties.
"Doctor Zhuang, you came just in time. My friend's consciousness has been injured. Please help to heal him!" Sima Ling'er said hurriedly with a happy face.
"Hey, sister Ling'er, why are you so anxious when Mr. Zhou is injured? It's hard for you..." Qiang Xia joked.
Sima Ling'er's face instantly turned red to the root of her neck. She rolled her eyes at Qiang Xia and said, "He is my friend. If a friend is injured, I will naturally be anxious. If you are injured, I will be even more anxious."
"Okay, don't worry about me, I don't want to get hurt." Qiang Xia waved her hand.
"Sister Ling'er, if there's anything you don't dare to admit, I've seen it!"
"Little girl, you!" Sima Ling stomped her feet in embarrassment and reached out to hit her. Qiang Yun shrank her head and hurriedly moved away.
"The eldest lady has already given instructions. I am here just to treat fellow Taoist Zhou." Dr. Zhuang saluted Sima Ling'er.
"Then we have Dr. Laozhuang." Sima Ling'er also responded politely.
Zhou Yang was also worried that Ling'er would be angry after seeing Qiang Xia. Seeing such a scene, he was relieved. She has grown up and matured.
Zhou Yang also clasped his fists: "Thank you so much, Dr. Zhuang!"
"Sit down." Dr. Zhuang waved his hand.
"Doctor Zhuang please."
Zhou Yang sat down and put his left hand on the table. Dr. Zhuang put three fingers on Zhou Yang's left hand.
Dr. Zhuang was very calm at first, but after counting his breaths, his expression gradually became serious. After a while, he frowned tightly, then stopped his hand and pointed at Zhou Yang's eyebrows.
The center of the eyebrows is where the cultivator's altar is located. It is the residence of spiritual consciousness and soul, and must not be touched by others.
Zhou Yang was startled and instinctively wanted to react.
Qiang Xia hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't worry, Dr. Zhuang is checking your altar."
Zhou Yang felt a little relieved now, and his tense body relaxed, but he was still very wary. If Dr. Zhuang made any changes, he would naturally not be polite.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou's spiritual consciousness is stronger than that of cultivators of the same level, but he suffered sonic attacks from monsters above level four. This kind of sonic attack is so powerful that ordinary Lingtai cultivators would have been seriously injured long ago, and might have gone crazy. Maybe." Dr. Zhuang took back his hand and said with a strange color in his eyes.
Qiang Xia raised her eyebrows inadvertently and said to herself: "This boy is really extraordinary."
"Does that mean the injury isn't serious?" Sima Ling'er interjected.
"No. Fellow Daoist Zhou resisted the attack of spiritual consciousness. Although it seems to be no serious problem now, the injury is actually serious, and it is a sustained injury. I am afraid it will be difficult to recover in a short time. Although the Yangshen Pill is specially used to treat spiritual consciousness, For you, the effect is there, but not too good. Of course, it is much better than the Awakening Pill and can provide great relief." After saying that, Dr. Zhuang took out a pill bottle and handed it to Tong Yang.
"This is the nourishing pill. The eldest lady personally ordered me to bring it."
Zhou Yang took the elixir bottle, clasped his fists at Qiang Xia and said, "Thank you, Miss, for giving me the elixir. However, this elixir is very valuable. I will not be rewarded for my merits, so please accept it." After that, he took out a bag of spiritual stones from his arms. Leave it to Dr. Zhuang.
There are five pills in the pill bottle, and there are exactly three thousand spirit stones in Zhou Yang's spirit stone bag, which is all his current belongings.
Doctor Zhuang did not take the bag of spiritual stones, but looked at Qiang Xia.
Qiang Xia smiled and said: "Young Master Zhou is such an interesting person. I told you when we were on the boat that Wanjianmen will definitely help you heal. If so, wouldn't it mean that I am breaking my promise?"
"Haha, Miss, I am extremely grateful to Dr. Zhuang for diagnosing and treating my injuries. I really can't take the elixir for free. As I said, no reward will be given for nothing. I really used this elixir in vain. I will feel in my heart Uneasy." Zhou Yang continued to push the spirit stone bag towards Dr. Zhuang.
"For the sake of sister Ling'er, I don't want you to show mercy."
"Forget it, Sister Xia, he will really feel uneasy if you don't accept her."
"We are indeed a family!" Qiang Yun covered his mouth and said.
"Little girl, I'm here to beat you!" Sima Ling'er raised her hand to hit her again. Qiang Yun stuck out his tongue and hid behind his sister, pouting his mouth and making faces at Sima Ling'er and Zhou Yang.
"Since Mr. Zhou won't give you face, then just accept it." Qiang Xia said lightly.
"The eldest lady is joking. How dare I not give you face as a young casual cultivator? Whenever I need help, please give me your instructions."
"I've said it all for you. Okay, you can find a quiet place and try the elixir. Yun'er, let's go."
"Congratulations to you two ladies!" Zhou Yang stood up and saw each other off.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Zhou, there is a doctor in Anping City who is unique in diagnosing and treating injuries to the spiritual consciousness. You might as well give it a try." Dr. Zhuang followed Qiang Xia and the others to the door, but then he remembered something and turned around. Zhou Yang said.
"Oh, where is that doctor in Anping?" Zhou Yang asked hurriedly.
"Beicheng Wuji Hall, surnamed Jiang, nicknamed Jiang Shengshou."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhuang, for telling me." Zhou Yang saluted him again. Dr. Zhuang waved his hand and immediately left the door.
"Wuji Hall!" The couplet and the appearance of the sitting doctor flashed through Zhou Yang's mind.
After he left Wuji Hall, he felt a little weak. He always felt that the doctor was not simple, and he was afraid that his disguise skills would be seen through. Could it be that he is Jiang Shengshou?
"Do you also know Wuji Hall?" Sima Ling'er asked.
"I went there once by accident, and I seem to have seen the Master Jiang."
"Did you go in your true form?"
"no."
"oh."
In a secret room of Qingyun Palace, Qiang Xia sat behind the desk, while Dr. Zhuang stood beside him.
"how?"
"In addition to his spiritual consciousness, his spiritual power is strong and his physique is different from ordinary people. It should not take long to break through to the middle stage of Lingtai. I once heard the eldest lady say that he was just a minor cultivator at the peak of Kaiyuan more than a year ago. In just one year, It’s really incredible to have continuous breakthroughs for so long.”
"Yes, Ling'er told me personally. She told me a lot about Zhou Yang. It can be seen that she likes him very much. By the way, what do you think of his overall combat power? What is his potential?"
"Spiritual power and spiritual consciousness are no less than those of late-stage Lingtai cultivators. If he performs exceptionally well, he may even be able to defeat late-stage Lingtai cultivators. As for his potential, it's hard to say."
"This boy is indeed unusual. Can you see why he entered the country so quickly?"
"There are only two possibilities for a casual cultivator to advance quickly. One is to have a chance encounter, and the other is to take a large amount of elixirs to improve his cultivation. Judging from his pulse, he has not taken violet pills or other ordinary medicines. Pill."
"Oh, did he take Rodan?"
"Impossible, his consciousness cannot withstand the power of Da Luo Dan, and there is no Da Luo Dan component in his body."
"Did you meet an expert?" Qiang Xia was puzzled.
"But there seems to be residue of another fire-attribute elixir in his body."
"What kind of elixir is it?"
"This subordinate is shallow and has never seen this type of fire attribute elixir."
"That would be strange. Could it be that he really had a chance encounter and got the ancient elixir?"
"This subordinate can't explain clearly. There are still some weird things in his body. If ordinary cultivators enter the realm quickly, they will have hidden diseases in their bodies and some deficiencies in their mental state. I can't see this person's state of mind, but he There are no hidden diseases in his body, or it can be said that all his hidden diseases have been eliminated."
"Well, I've heard about this too, so what are the ways to eliminate hidden diseases?"
"There are two kinds, but they are both difficult. One is to use elixir to resolve it, but this elixir is extremely difficult to find. It is called Yunzhong Zilan. It can only be found on extremely high mountain peaks or cliffs, and it must be rich in spiritual energy. The land must be covered by thick fog all year round to grow, so it is extremely difficult to find. The second is to put yourself in a desperate situation, between life and death. Such hidden diseases should be eliminated. But once or twice, it is difficult to eliminate Clean.”
"What! The desperate situation of life and death, can't it be eliminated after one or two times?"
"Exactly. So these two methods are extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to do. Of course, if you break through your own limits many times, it will have a certain effect, but it's just not as effective as the first two."
"Which method do you think this kid used?"
"The first one is absolutely not possible, because there is no trace of Yun Zhong Zilan in his body. I guess the second one is very likely."
"He is really an anomaly. No wonder this person is so tenacious in character and so strong in strength. This is the reason. It seems that the way to the Tao is not just hard work. It must go through the test of life and death, and hardships again and again. Only by practicing yourself can you improve your cultivation and improve your state of mind." Qiang Xia seemed to have some realization.
"Exactly, if you just practice hard or use elixirs to promote it, your progress may be very fast, but there are also great hidden dangers. If your state of mind cannot keep up, you will eventually be in danger of going crazy." Dr. Zhuang added.
"Yes, have you ever heard of several aristocratic families in Suiling City?" Qiang Xia said.
