"Haha, Master Wu, don't worry. Ordinary medicinal materials can replenish ordinary people's Qi, but the young master's body needs unusual medicinal materials."
The old Taoist priest looked at the two men with somewhat resentful eyes, looked calm, and even smiled slightly.
"What medicinal materials?"
"Ginseng that is over a thousand years old or Ganoderma lucidum can be used."
"Okay, although thousand-year-old medicinal materials are rare, with a lot of effort, you should be able to find them in Liaozhou City. Are you finished talking this time?"
Afraid that the old Taoist priest would be out of breath again, Wu Lie asked again worriedly.
"Um."
Seeing the old Taoist priest nodding, Wu Lie stood up again and prepared to call someone.
"No need to look for it, I have it right here."
But it was Bu Xiaotian who stopped Wu Lie.
When the old Taoist priest talked about ginseng that was more than a thousand years old, Bu Xiaotian thought of the ginseng pill made from nine-leaf purple ginseng in his bag.
"You two, please follow me."
With that said, Bu Xiaotian took the two of them to the room where he rested for the afternoon.
He took out a small porcelain bottle from the bag on the bedside, poured out a pill the size of a longan, handed it to the old Taoist priest, and asked:
"This is a ginseng elixir made from nine-leaf purple ginseng. It has complete medicinal properties. Senior, let's see if it can be used?"
"Um."
The old Taoist priest took the pill, looked at it carefully for a moment, took it to his nose and smelled it, and looked up at Bu Xiaotian in surprise:
"It's really nine-leaf purple ginseng! And it's nine-leaf purple ginseng that's five thousand years old!"
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and sighed with some regret:
"The medicinal properties of this nine-leaf purple ginseng are more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary ginseng. It can be regarded as a top-quality medicinal material. But the young master is too weak and may not be able to withstand such a strong medicinal power.
It would be great if it could have its branches and leaves. Each leaf of Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng is comparable to ordinary ginseng of the same year, which is just right for the young master to take. "
"branches and leaves?"
Bu Xiaotian was a little surprised when he saw the old Taoist priest shaking his head.
Only then did I realize that it was not that the medicine was not powerful enough, but that it was too powerful!
"How many slices do you want?"
Bu Xiaotian took out a small folded silk handkerchief from the bag, opened the silk handkerchief, took out nine small leaves, and asked.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
The old Taoist priest put the shendan back into the porcelain bottle, handed it back to Bu Xiaotian, took the nine leaves, and said three good words in a row.
"Ordinary people think that only the ginseng rhizome is useful, but they don't know that the nine leaves of the nine-leaf purple ginseng are also extremely precious. I didn't expect that my little brother actually preserved these leaves so completely."
"This junior also often read medical books when he was practicing in the mountains. Naturally, he recognizes the characteristics of this nine-leaf purple ginseng."
"Please ask the Immortal to give you medicine to save my son! I'm willing to give anything in exchange!"
Wu Lie also understood the preciousness of this thing at this time, his face was filled with joy, and he hurriedly leaned over to ask for the medicine.
"Since I took it out, I will naturally save the young master. Master Wu, don't worry!"
"Thank you, Immortal!"
"Senior, let's start treatment now, shall we?"
Bu Xiaotian turned to the old Taoist priest and said.
"It's too late now. The yin energy is too heavy and it's difficult to rescue him. The best time for treatment will be when the sun reaches its highest point at noon tomorrow and the yang energy between heaven and earth is blazing."
The old Taoist priest shook his head again and set the time for treatment.
"Okay, then we'll do the rescue tomorrow."
After that, the old Taoist priest and Wu Lie left separately, leaving only Bu Xiaotian alone in the room.
Bu Xiaotian thought about everything he had experienced today, sorted it out carefully, and suddenly discovered something unusual.
When I met the old Taoist priest during the day, there were many people outside the city, but the old Taoist priest found me. It could be said to be accidental.
When he was undoing the curse on the young master, the Yin Qi that suddenly emerged could not be suppressed by his current cultivation of Yuxu Sect Mental Technique, but the "Tian Jing" he learned from the yellow silk could not be suppressed at all. It can be said to be a coincidence that he happened to be able to restrain this negative energy.
To cure the young master, one must need ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum that is over a thousand years old, and I happen to have nine-leaf purple ginseng branches and leaves that are comparable to 5,000-year-old ginseng. Isn't it a coincidence?
Although the old Taoist priest sometimes behaves like a charlatan, based on the two talismans he took out, it can be concluded that the old Taoist priest is not an ordinary charlatan.
What's more, if he is really a charlatan, then his knowledge is too broad?
After thinking about it, Bu Xiaotian knew that it was impossible for him to come up with the answer. I am afraid that only the old Taoist priest himself could answer his doubts.
Secretly deciding to find an opportunity to ask the old Taoist priest tomorrow, Bu Xiaotian stopped thinking about it and sat cross-legged on the bed to practice.
Nothing else happened that night.
As the sky grows brighter, a new day begins.
People woke up from their sleep and the city became noisy.
Bu Xiaotian woke up from his trance and glanced in the direction next door.
The old Taoist priest hadn't even woken up yet, and bursts of shouting came through the wall.
Bu Xiaotian opened the door and came to the yard. The servants were already busy, and they all bowed respectfully when they saw Bu Xiaotian.
Soon someone brought hot water and a towel for Bu Xiaotian to wash up.
There was nothing going on around him. Looking at the large martial arts arena, Bu Xiaotian drew out his long sword and practiced the "Yuxu Sword Technique" on the arena.
After practicing every day for these years, he has become extremely proficient in this sword technique.
At this time, when practicing, it runs smoothly like clouds and flowing water.
Even the servants passing by couldn't help but stop and watch. The Wu family did not treat the servants harshly, and there was nothing urgent. They were just delayed for a while, and no one would drive them away.
More and more people gathered around the martial arts arena, and almost everyone who had nothing to do came over.
After three sword drills were completed, Bu Xiaotian put away his sword and stood up.
"Good swordsmanship!"
There was a cheer from the sidelines, and Bu Xiaotian turned around to look, but it was Wu Lie who had also arrived outside the martial arts arena at some point.
Today, Wu Lie looks like his whole person has changed. He is no longer as worried as when he first met him. He also looks like he has simply tidied up. His inch-long beard is neatly trimmed, and even his hair looks neat. A little more shiny than before.
After all, his biggest worry is about to be solved.
Having witnessed the miracles of the old Taoist priest and Bu Xiaotian with his own eyes last night, Wu Lie no longer had any doubts about whether the two could completely cure his son's illness.
I saw Wu Lie striding towards the edge of the martial arts arena, taking down a long spear from the weapons rack, and said to Bu Xiaotian:
"Young Master Bu, I saw that the swordsmanship you used just now is very exquisite. I can't help but want to ask for advice. I wonder if I can do it for you, Young Master?"
"good!"
Bu Xiaotian did not hesitate and nodded to agree to Wu Lie's request for a competition.
The head of the Wu family has an aura that is different from ordinary people when he walks. It can be seen that he has practiced martial arts for many years, and has reached the extreme whether it is unintentional or internal strength.
Although Bu Xiaotian was definitely not his opponent if he consciously risked his life, he had never fought against such a martial arts master before, and he was a little itchy for a while.
I saw two people standing on the left and right, several feet apart, each taking a posture and waiting attentively.
"Be careful!"
I don't know who shouted something, and they both started moving at the same time.
As powerful as thunder, as fast as lightning!
The distance of several feet passed by in an instant, and the weapons in their hands collided in the blink of an eye.
The moment the weapons met, they immediately bounced away. When they landed, they just tapped their toes and attacked the opponent again.
Suddenly, the two figures were everywhere on the field. The servants watching the game were dazzled and could not see where they were.
The sound of weapons clashing was so continuous that it was hard to imagine that it was just the sound of two people fighting.
This situation lasted for about a quarter of an hour.
As the two fought again and separated, the two of them stood there in unison and did not make any more moves.
The masters compete with each other at the last moment. If they insist on deciding the outcome, no matter who wins, the other party will inevitably be a little embarrassed.
At this time, both of them looked out of breath, with sweat stains looming on their faces.
Bu Xiaotian couldn't help being surprised when he looked at the head of the Wu family in front of him.
He didn't expect that he had used all the methods except Taoism, but he still didn't have any upper hand!
"Bu Shaoxia is so powerful at such a young age, it's really embarrassing!"
Wu Lie was the first to speak and sighed.
"Master Wu, that's ridiculous. I have used all my strength just now, but you still seem to be able to do it with ease. I should admire you!"
Bu Xiaotian was not too proud after receiving praise.
"Bu Shaoxia is still too modest. Those Taoist techniques you used last night can defeat me with just one move. I just took advantage of my age and experience."
"I don't mean to hide my clumsiness. In fact, the Taoist methods I have learned are too powerful and are not suitable for use in sparring with you."
Bu Xiaotian listened to Wu Lie's words and explained.
"I understand. I saw the Taoist methods you used yesterday with my own eyes. They are really the methods of gods. How can a mortal compete with the methods of immortals?"
Wu Lie's tone was a bit sighing.
"I'm just a cultivator. Even my master and uncles don't dare to call themselves immortals. How can I, a young disciple, dare to call myself an immortal?"
Wu Lie looked at Bu Xiaotian and asked:
"Are there really immortals in this world?"
"To be honest, I don't know."
Bu Xiaotian shook his head and said:
"But I believe there is."
"oh?"
Seeing the contradictions in Bu Xiaotian's words, Wu Lie couldn't help but become more confused:
"Young hero, what do you mean?"
Bu Xiaotian thought for a moment and said: "No one can give the answer to whether there are immortals in this world.
But if we practitioners don’t believe there are immortals in the world, then what kind of path are we cultivating?
Rather than saying that we believe in the existence of immortals, it is better to say that becoming an immortal is already a belief for all practitioners. If a person does not even have faith, then he will have no reason to persist, and will fall and lose his bottom line.
This is the scariest thing! "
"Belief…"
Wu Lie's face showed contemplation, and after a moment, he seemed to understand something:
"You are right! Just like the people living in Liaozhou City, they believe that 'Liao' is guarding them, and they are also guarding 'Liao'.
This is their belief. If they lose this belief, under the increasingly fierce attacks of the barbarians in recent years, countless people may abandon the city and flee in order to survive, or even surrender to the barbarians.
If this is the case, Liaozhou City is truly destroyed. "
"Liao?"
"What? Don't you know? Almost everyone in Liaozhou City knows the story of 'Liao'. You only need to walk around the city to know how important and sacred he is in their hearts! "
"..."
"Of course I've heard of it, but I didn't expect that 'Liao' would be the belief of people in this city."
Bu Xiaotian suddenly realized that he seemed to have been cheated again?
This old Taoist priest, I really don’t know which of his words are true and which are false!
