Chapter 20: The Rise of Strange Hearts (text)

Wu Yan was stopped by the middle-aged man Li Ruoxu just now, and he couldn't move at all, and he was very scared and worried in his heart.

This Li Ruoxu is the leader of the Iron Sword Alliance, with great power and superb martial arts, it is very easy to kill him. But he didn't expect that Li Ruoxu restrained him in order to seize a sword in the hands of the pharmacist seal, a sword that represented the identity of the leader of the Iron Sword Alliance.

From the conversation between the two, Wu Yan could also guess that this sword seemed to be important to both of them. But what he didn't expect was that the pharmacist could give up this important sword for him.

Now, he was standing at his desk with guilt on his face, not knowing what to say. Pharmacist Feng had a gloomy face and stared at Wu Yan. The two of them were silent and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was so depressing that Wu Yan felt very uncomfortable.

"Master, I, I'm just ......"

"You've heard it and seen it. That Li Ruoxu, relying on his deep internal strength and the true inheritance of his father, forcibly occupied the position of the alliance leader who originally belonged to the old man, and now even the Long Yun Sword passed on to the old man by his father has also been forcibly taken. The old man is unwilling, unwilling! You stupid boy, do you understand? " Pharmacist Feng suddenly jumped up, grabbed the side of the desk, grabbed Wu Yan's shoulders, and his pale face was full of ravines, showing an old, tired and twisted appearance.

Wu Yan was stunned, and the pharmacist let go of Wu Yan in a dejected manner, muttered to himself for a while, suddenly turned his head, stared at Wu Yan viciously, pointed at his nose and shouted: "The old man is unwilling, Wu Yan, it is because of you that the old man was taken away by him Longyun Sword, this sword is the treasure that the old man regards as his life, do you know? You must help the old man regain the one that belongs to the old man!"

"Master, I, my martial arts are so poor, even you are not his opponent, I, how can I do it?" Wu Yan was pale with fright by the words of the pharmacist and his crazy behavior, and replied with a snort.

"This thing is actually very simple, in this world, only you can help the old man do it. If you can do it, you will do it. As long as you can practice the mantra to the fourth level, you can help the old man regain this qiē!"

"However, the qi flow of this mantra cultivation is not internal strength, and it has no power, Master, I have cultivated to the fourth layer, how can I help you?"

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you can cultivate to the fourth layer, the old man has his own way. Are you willing to help the old man?Ah, good man, you say, you say!" Like a child, Pharmacist Feng's expression became extremely fanatical, grabbing Wu Yan's arm and shaking wildly.

"Okay, okay. Master, I will definitely go all out and do my best to cultivate to the fourth level. Wu Yan nodded in agreement, but, for some reason, he felt very uneasy in his heart. He felt that the way Master looked at him was like a hungry beast staring at its prey, and this feeling was not the first time he had felt it.

"Well, you can do it. Otherwise, why do so many people take the Condensing Essence Pill, and only you have that kind of breath?" As if comforting himself, the pharmacist Feng kept walking back and forth in the room restlessly, "However, the current medicinal materials are not enough, and they are greatly insufficient. You don't have to worry about this, the old man will go out again, go to the deep mountains and rivers, and personally pick some century-old herbs and come back. I heard that the older the medicine, the greater the benefits to cultivation. Well, during this time, you have to cultivate well. This is the cultivation mantra of the later layers, and the old man has prepared all the medicinal materials for your cultivation during this time. The old man will come back in two years at most, or in a year and a half. Don't let the old man down, you know? Otherwise, huh!"

The pharmacist took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, and those pieces of paper were densely filled with words, and Wu Yan glanced at them, which was the cultivation method of the lower layers of the nameless formula.

Wu Yan hurriedly took it in his hand. He also noticed that in the study of the pharmacist seal, there were six or seven large cloth bags, which must have been the medicinal materials prepared for him.

"In this small bottle, there are four antidotes to the Rotten Heart Pill. During the time when the old man was gone, the Hubao in the Broken Knife Hall, and the shopkeeper of the family planning medicine shop, Hequan, would go to the Gushan Inn in Gushan Town to get the antidote every other year. They will also give you something. You can get these things back for the old man first. Pharmacist Feng handed a small porcelain bottle to Wu Yan with a complicated expression, and kept instructing.

"With the Fengyun Sword Technique and Fengyun Step that you have mastered now, there are not many people in the Iron Sword Alliance who can defeat you except those old guys. But just in case someone will poison you, you take this antidote pill that can cure all kinds of poisons. The pharmacist took out a green pill the size of his thumb and handed it to Wu Yan, staring at him to see him take it.

Wu Yan took the pill in his hand, looked at the pharmacist in surprise, and still took it as he said. After seeing him take it, Pharmacist Feng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Very good, you are very good." It's not in vain that the old man values you so much. Okay, you go back to cultivating first. The old man will not take back the key to the study, and when you are tired from cultivation, you can also come here to read a book and relax. Go ahead. ”

Wu Yan walked back to his stone house in a daze, and made his butt on the stone bed, thinking about what happened today. Suddenly, he felt a tingling cramp in his head.

He was sweating profusely in pain, rolling around on the stone bed, holding his head and screaming loudly.

The pain was as uncomfortable as thousands of ants gnawing at his mind. Wu Yan didn't know what was going on, so he wanted to stand up and get out of bed to find the pharmacist seal. Who knows, the pain lasted for a few minutes, but it got better again.

He wiped the sweat from his head and hugged his head, with an extremely complicated expression on his face. Could it be that it was the onset of the antidote pill that he had just taken that caused such a painful situation to occur in his brain?

Wu Yan got out of bed, walked over and closed the stone door, and then took out the "Book of Medicine" hidden in the gap between the stone bed and the wall and looked at it.

He flipped through the pages of the "Book of Medicine" and searched very carefully, trying to find the record of the antidote pill.

I don't know how long it took. When he finished flipping through the entire Book of Medicine, there was a panicked expression on his face.

He hurriedly hid the "Book of Medicine" into the cracks, looked at the exhaust hole above the medicine pod, and found nothing suspicious. He sat cross-legged on the bed, holding his head, lost in thought.

After a long time, he stood up, took off his clothes, walked into the medicine tripod, and began to cultivate.

The next day, Pharmacist Feng didn't say hello to Wu Yan and left directly. However, he still left a letter for Wu Yan instructing him to cultivate hard.

After Wu Yan was sure that he was gone, he waited in the valley for three days before quietly going into the study and looking for it.

After he rummaged through all the books in the bookcase, a complicated expression of fear and pain finally appeared on his face that could not be concealed.

The three books "The Book of Medicine", "The Fragment of the Puppet" and "The Art of Hidden Killing" are all gone. What is left in the bookcase are some ordinary books and some books on simple pharmacological knowledge.

Wu Yan's face turned ugly. Only then did he realize that Pharmacist Feng was still very uneasy about him.
