The two of them hurried all the way, rushing towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion without stopping.

Along the way, Zhou Lie knocked on the side and also learned the identity of Old Man Xia from Huang Xiongshi.

This old man Xia's name is Xia Jinglong, and his identity is not simple, he worshiped the general of the Great Xia Dynasty when he was young, and he has participated in dozens of border wars, killed countless enemies, and made great achievements.

Xia Hongyuan was able to sit in the position of the Beihai City Lord, thanks to this old man's dredging of relations inside and outside the court, and he worked up and down.

Twenty years ago, Xia Hongyuan left Yanjing City and came to Beihai City to take office.

Half an hour later, the two of them came to the City Lord's Mansion.

In the distance, Zhou Lie saw many familiar figures.

City Lord Xia Hongyuan, as well as many Beihai City officials who came to congratulate Zhou Lie when he was knighted, were all standing in front of the gate and waiting anxiously.

Seeing Zhou Lie and Huang Xiongshi appear, Xia Hongyuan immediately greeted him and said, "Gongzi Zhou, I'm really sorry to disturb you, I was also desperate to invite you over, you are tired all the way, why don't you go with me to have a cup of tea and rest first?"

"No need, Old Man Xia is sick, and he can't be delayed, so the city lord should take me to see him first." ”

Zhou Lie waved his hand.

"Okay, Gongzi Zhou, please come with me. ”

Xia Hongyuan hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.

The group entered the City Lord's Mansion in a mighty way, came to the backyard, and walked into Xia Jinglong's room.

Xia Jinglong was about eighty years old, and his face was covered with weather-beaten wrinkles, and his eyes were deeply sunken and pale due to a serious illness.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, coughing violently, and every time he coughed, he spit out a mouthful of shocking blood, and many maids around him were scrambling to clean him up.

"Father, you're coughing up blood again. ”

Xia Hongyuan hurriedly walked up, helped Xia Jinglong, and gently patted him on the back, his face was full of worry.

"It's out of the way, just spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and you can't die for the time being. ”

Xia Jinglong waved his hand, turned his head to look at Zhou Lie, and said with a smile: "Presumably you are the famous Wu Anbo who killed Dai Xiao and smashed the conspiracy of the Five Poisons Sect. ”

"Old Man Xia has won the award, and as a member of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is naturally incumbent on the younger generation to kill the enemy outside the territory. ”

Zhou Lie nodded and said, "You lie down, and the junior will check the cause for you." ”

"Okay, I'm bothered. ”

Xia Jinglong lay down, this time he touched his body, and coughed a few times in a row.

Zhou Lie walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to put his hand on Xia Jinglong's wrist.

He is not a doctor, so he naturally does not know how to see a doctor, but there are other ways to find out the condition.

He closed his eyes and released a stream of true qi that drilled into Xia Jinglong's body, and this true qi began to swim in Xia Jinglong's body like a spiritual snake.

This method is much stronger than the doctor's pulse, and it is easy to detect the situation in Xia Jinglong's body.

As this true qi swam through Xia Jinglong's body, Zhou Lie's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he found that most of the meridians in this old man's body were almost shattered, and all the five internal organs were also displaced, and it was a miracle that he could live until now.

"Old Man Xia, you are a true martial arts realm cultivator, right?"

Zhou Lie opened his eyes and suddenly said something inconsequential.

"That's right, the old man cultivated to the True Martial Realm forty years ago. ”

Xia Jinglong nodded, and then asked, "Forgive the old man for being puzzled, is this related to my condition?"

"If you don't cultivate to the True Martial Realm in your old age, the dantian condenses the true qi and protects the remaining meridians of your body, and you won't be able to live until now with your old condition. ”

Zhou Lie sighed and asked, "Old man, I just looked, half of the meridians in your old body have been broken, and your internal organs have also been displaced, who beat you to serious injury?"

"Oh, Wu Anbo actually saw the cause of the old man's illness. ”

Xia Jinglong's eyes lit up, originally he didn't have much hope for Zhou Lie, although this young man's martial arts are profound, it doesn't mean that his medical skills are equally high.

Now that he saw that Zhou Lie was able to tell the cause of his illness, he couldn't help but be impressed.

Xia Hongyuan hurriedly explained on the side: "When my father was young, he led troops to kill the enemy in the frontier, and once he encountered a strong enemy, and he fought a big battle with the other party, and finally the enemy was interrupted by the other party's meridians, and he couldn't be cured for decades, so he could only take medicine to forcibly suppress it, but unfortunately to this day, taking medicine doesn't work." ”

Zhou Lie nodded and said: "The meridians are the channels through which the body's qi and blood run, once broken, the blood and qi are blocked, and there is almost no cure. ”

"Isn't there a way for Gongzi Zhou?"

Xia Hongyuan sighed after hearing this, and said dejectedly.

"There is a way, but it depends on whether you can buy the medicinal materials I need, city lord. ”

Zhou Lie found paper and pen, wrote down the names of more than ten kinds of medicinal materials in a scattered manner, and then handed them to Xia Hongyuan.

As soon as he checked Xia Jinglong's injury, he had already begun to search the memories of the Sky Devouring Dragon King to find a solution.

In the end, I found a healing elixir called "Blood Ginseng Pulse Renewal Pill." ”

"Blood Ginseng Pulse Renewal Pill?"

Xia Hongyuan was shocked after getting the Danfang, but after looking at it a few times, he immediately frowned and said: "Dragon Pattern Grass, Flame Flower, Red Lingzhi, Azure Fruit...... I know all these medicinal herbs, but what is the blood ginseng of this thousand years? Not only have I not seen it, but I have never heard of it. ”

"The thousand-year-old blood spirit ginseng is the main medicine for refining the blood ginseng pulse continuation pill. ”

Zhou Lie explained: "Blood ginseng is a thing that absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, although the body is only a kind of herb, but it is full of spirituality, it is rumored that a thousand years of blood ginseng can be transformed into a human form, able to move on its own, especially good at the art of earth escape, it is a thing that can be encountered." ”

"This kind of elixir, there is definitely no medicine hall in the city, I'm afraid you need to go into the deep mountains and Daze to find it. ”

"The thousand-year-old blood spirit ginseng belongs to the treasure of heaven and earth, even if you look for it, you have to take a lot of chance. ”

"Alas, it is difficult for Old Man Xia to cure this disease. ”

Officials large and small in Beihai City shook their heads and sighed.

"The physical condition of my father's eyes can only be delayed for another two months at most, how can this be good?"

After hearing this, Xia Hongyuan was immediately anxious.

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about me, the old man has lived for eighty years, and over the years, he has been suffering from illness every day, so it's better to end the pain as soon as possible and go down to see the ancestors and ancestors. ”

Xia Jinglong suddenly laughed, as if he had seen through life and death.

Xia Hongyuan hurriedly relieved: "Father, don't be discouraged, as long as there is a little hope, you can't give up." ”

"City Lord, I may know where to find Blood Spirit Ginseng. ”

At this moment, the yellow male lion, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"Where?"

Xia Hongyuan was originally listless, but when he heard this, he was immediately shocked.

"It is recorded in our Huang family classics that about a thousand years ago, the ancestor found a blood ginseng in the southern frontier, and the medicine was not mature at that time, and the ancestor left after writing down the location, hoping that the descendants of the Huang family could retrieve the elixir. ”

Huang Xiongshi shook his head and said: "Time has passed, the vicissitudes of life, so many years have passed, if it weren't for everyone talking about blood spirit ginseng today, I would have forgotten about this matter, calculate the time, then the blood spirit ginseng should have matured." ”
