"General ......" Hearing the title of General Jiang Guo, Yang Ming was really surprised, General Jiang Guo, isn't that Liu Qianyu's father. When Yang Ming reacted, he realized that he had forgotten to salute, and hurriedly bowed his hand and asked,

"Student Yang Ming, meet General Liu. ”

"Oh, you're Yang Ming, I heard that you defeated my Yu'er. Liu Chen looked at Yang Ming carefully and said, his tone was a little cold.

Weng Lao knew that Liu Chen still cared about the battle between Yang Ming and Liu Qianyu some time ago, after all, after this battle, Liu Qianyu was defeated and left the Martial Arts Academy, Weng Lao hurriedly adjusted the atmosphere and said: "General Liu, this is just a young man's battle to win, don't take it to heart, you also advise Young Master Liu Qianyu not to take it too seriously, it is better to go back to the academy as soon as possible." I don't think Yang Ming will object, right? ”

Weng Lao gave Yang Ming a look, meaning that he should also persuade Liu Qianyu to come back, but Yang Ming still didn't understand what Weng Lao meant, at this time, Liu Chen said:

"Thank you for your kindness, but Yu'er made a gambling contract at the beginning, how can I break it lightly, people can't stand without trust, the men of my Liu family are all trustworthy people, even if my Yu'er wants to go back to the academy one day, I have to go back with dignity. ”

Looking at Liu Chen, Yang Ming felt that this general was not like a stingy person, but when he chose a cultivation mentor a month ago, Yang Ming was indeed rejected by the Red Horse Army because of the Liu family, didn't he know about it. However, because he was rejected by the Red Horse Army, Yang Ming was fortunate to practice with Wu Jian, and now he wants to thank the thoughtful general of the Red Horse Army.

"Yang Ming, this is the first time in my life that my Yu'er has been defeated, but I know him, he is a child who does not admit defeat, and it won't be long before he will definitely challenge you again. Liu Chen looked at the young man, as if he had written a war book in advance, and said.

Yang Ming straightened his chest, raised his head, met Liu Chen's gaze, and replied seriously: "The student remembers." I am also a person who has to respond to battles, and I am waiting for Young Master Liu at any time. ”

"Hahaha, good boy, daring. Seeing the fearless eyes of the young man, Liu Chen seemed to be very pleased, Liu Chen has paraded countless soldiers and seen the growth of many young soldiers, he appreciates people who are full of fighting spirit and will not give in.

"The men of Jiang Guo should have this kind of blood. ”

Skipping this topic, Yang Ming asked again, "Elder Weng, didn't you say that you wouldn't come to the medicine tasting conference, why did you come again?"

"I'm just here with General Liu this time, just as an audience at the conference. ”

"I've heard about the medicine tasting conference in Wuxian City for a long time, so I'll take a look at it this time, but I don't know much about the way of refining medicine, so I brought Weng Lao, an expert, here. Liu Chen said, and then he suddenly approached Yang Ming and asked in a low voice, "Where is the county lord Xin'er?" King Jiang is very worried about the county lord's safety. ”

"The lord of Xin'er has gone to pay a visit to the envoys of other countries in the city. Yang Ming told the truth.

"This is really unfortunate, please tell the county lord, and say that I will pay a visit later. After the entrustment, Liu Chen turned to Weng Lao and said, "You teachers and students are reunited, there must be something to talk about, I won't bother, I'll go to the front for a walk, you talk." ”

After seeing Liu Chen walking away, Yang Ming couldn't wait to talk to Cai Yin, because Cai Yin's matter was a secret and must not be let Liu Chen know.

"Caiyin, why are you here too? are you not afraid of being seen?"

"Don't worry, the people in the academy didn't see Master Cai Yin coming down the mountain with me, and I only told the general that she was my little apprentice, and no one would know. ”

"Well, I've been alone on the mountain for a long time, and when I'm on the mountain, I often hear you say it's so lively outside, so I'll come down and take a look, but there are a lot of people here. Cai Yin flashed a pair of smart eyes and said with a smile.

Yes, she has been alone in the mountains for too long, but she has lived alone like this before, but I don't know why, since this young man named Yang Ming went up the mountain and then left, Cai Yin began to feel that a person was so lonely, and loneliness turned out to be unbearable. A feeling that has never entered the girl's heart, she doesn't know what this feeling is in her heart, but she can confirm one thing, she wants to see Yang Ming.

"It's good to come down, it's really boring to stay alone for a long time. I still miss you today, but I didn't expect to see you. Yang Ming said sincerely. He really wanted to Cai Yin, as a friend, the boy had always thought so in his heart.

But his words made Cai Yin's cheeks flush, because of the mask, so he was not noticed, he was stunned for a while, and the smile on the corner of the girl's mouth gradually opened, since he knew Yang Ming, Cai Yin smiled more.

Looking at the direction in which Liu Chen was walking, Yang Ming still asked with some curiosity: "Strange, I heard that General Liu has never been interested in refining medicine, why did he come to watch the medicine tasting conference this time." ”

Hearing Yang Ming's question, Weng Lao's face became a little serious, and then he said softly: "This year's medicine tasting conference is different from the past, not only our Jiang country's General Liu is here, but the military generals of many countries are also here, and even those big countries have sent their own military representatives. ”

"No wonder I saw many soldiers wearing armor on the street today, but why is this? Why are the big countries also interested in refining medicine?" Yang Ming asked, indeed, in the past, the big countries were rarely interested in the medicine tasting conference, and the big countries naturally did not lack powerful warriors, these warriors' cultivation has reached a super high level, and the pill has a very weak effect on their strengthening cultivation, and even brings many physical side effects.

Weng Lao pulled Yang Ming to the corner of the street, and Cai Yin obediently followed, and when the men talked about things, she remained silent and just listened quietly.

Weng Lao said in a low voice: "All these changes are due to an unexpected thing that happened at last year's medicine tasting conference, which changed the views of the big countries on medicine refining. ”

"Last year, there was a medicine wizard named Deng Zhi who participated in the medicine tasting conference, this person is not famous, he has been committed to refining and enhancing the cultivation of the elixir, but his refining level is really average, and he can't practice the high-grade elixir that can make the countryman's cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, but he has a lot of ideas. Deng Zhi refined a pill last year, in terms of refining difficulty, this pill is at most a three-flavor pill, which is barely a medium level, but it has attracted the attention of many countries. ”

"This elixir is named Qiangbing, because it is not an elixir to increase the cultivation of the soldiers, but to strengthen the body of ordinary soldiers and enhance the toughness of the soldiers' bodies. After taking it, ordinary soldiers can become infinitely powerful, can lift 500 catties of boulders with one hand, and can twist the neck of a tiger with their bare hands. Therefore, Deng Zhi proposed a new plan to strengthen the army, in each country, the national soldiers are naturally the main combat force of the army, but the army of 10,000 people will not exceed 100 at most, and the proportion in the army of small countries is even lower, and ordinary soldiers in the army account for the vast majority. Deng Zhi's plan to strengthen the army is to use the elixir to transform the flesh of ordinary soldiers, enhance their combat effectiveness, and turn ordinary soldiers into super strong soldiers. Deng Zhi was also hired by a large country for his plan to strengthen the army, and was recruited as a medicine wizard in the army, and the plan to strengthen the soldiers with pills was soon sought after by various countries, and this also greatly changed the direction of alchemy for many medicine wizards, so this year's medicine tasting conference will be very different, which attracts more countries. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ming nodded thoughtfully, in the past, the focus of the country in cultivating the combat power of the army has always been to cultivate strong national soldiers, so that the medicine wizard will serve the national soldiers, but the national soldiers are not those who want to be the national soldiers, only the talented ones can have the opportunity to become national soldiers, so how many national soldiers can a country cultivate, this is the will of heaven, and it is not human power, but ordinary soldiers are different, as long as they are willing to train, any able-bodied person can be trained as a soldier. And now, countries have begun to pay attention to enhancing the combat power of ordinary soldiers, using elixirs to transform ordinary soldiers into super soldiers, and because of the new changes in demand, the medicine wizards have naturally changed.

"In this way, the purpose of General Liu is also the same. ”

Weng Lao sighed and said a little helplessly: "The world is like this, and we can only take advantage of the situation. However, General Liu is actually reluctant to use medicine on soldiers, because although the elixir like Qiang Bing can enhance the body, it will also cause a lot of damage to the soldier's body. I heard that many soldiers died last year because they took too much Dan. ”

"I really don't understand, medicine is supposed to cure diseases and save people and prolong life, but why do so many people want to refine medicine that is harmful to people?" Cai Yin naturally does not understand the so-called national significance of the army's combat power, she is a medicine wizard, she just simply thinks that medicine should save people, not harm people.

Hearing the girl's questioning, Weng Lao could only smile helplessly.

On the continent now, all countries are eyeing each other, and the rulers care about how to strengthen the army, and then go to grab more land, wealth, and population for the country. People don't care about longevity anymore, now people are chasing profit, wealth and fame.

Hearing Cai Yin's words about curing diseases and saving people, Yang Ming remembered Wu Jian's poison and the joy of reuniting with Cai Yin, which made the young man almost forget all the big things.

"Damn, I almost forgot about the big thing, uncle is now poisoned by the blood born orchid, Cai Yin, can you solve this poison?"

Subsequently, Yang Ming told Weng Lao and Cai Yin everything that happened along the way. Hearing this, Weng Lao's face was shocked, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, because the amount of information was a lot, and the surprised things were one after another, and Weng Lao didn't know what to care about.

"How could this be, Que Qing is dead, the Lou family actually colluded with Wu Xiancheng to kill people and seize medicine, and even Mr. Wu Jian was hit by the blood and gave birth to the orchid? And the ghost of Yan Luo? This ...... It's only been a few days, what have you all been through?"

I don't care about the specific explanation, the top priority at the moment is the uncle's poison, "Do you know that the blood is born of orchid? Mr. Que Qing said that this poison is incurable." ”

Weng Lao's face became grim, and he said: "Indeed, Bloody Orchid is a high-grade elixir, and it is a terrifying poison, and the poisoned people all die in heart-rending pain, which is very cruel. I heard that this medicine was refined by a medicine wizard named Wu Yu seven years ago, this person is good at practicing poison, and the method of refining medicine is very vicious, people call him medicine ghost. It is said that in order to verify the toxicity of the medicine, he actually poisoned a village of people, and then the black bird evaporated from the world, some people said that he died, and the blood orchid disappeared, but I didn't expect that there are still people who use this poison to harm people. ”

"I'm not asking about the origin of this medicine, I'm asking if there is a way to detoxify?" Yang Ming asked anxiously.

Weng Lao shook his head helplessly, "Once the blood orchid is planted in the body, it will take root and grow until it sucks up the life of the host. Poisoned, there is no other way but to wait for death, and I can't do anything about this poison. ”

"Cai Yin, what about you?" Yang Ming looked at Cai Yin with hopeful eyes, Cai Yin held her cheeks, thought for a moment, and said: "Xuesheng Lan, I have only heard of its name, if I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I don't know if I can cure this poison." ”

"Okay, without further ado, I'll take you to my uncle now. Yang Ming's heart was lit with hope, he pulled Cai Yin, and walked towards Yishan step by step.

There is a providence in the dark, this must be God's arrangement for Cai Yin to come to Wuxian City, the young man thought in his heart, Zu Ze's words are right, there is no endless road to heaven, as long as there is hope, people will see hope.

When Yang Ming and the others returned to Yishan to listen to the wind, it was still early, Xin'er and they had not come back yet, and Wu Jian was lying on the bed sleeping.

"Uncle, wake up. Yang Ming hurriedly shook Wu Jian awake.

After calling for a long time, Wu Jian opened his sleepy eyes, and before he could speak, a strong smell of wine hit his face, Yang Ming glanced at the wine bottles scattered on the table, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Uncle, you shouldn't be drunk." ”

Wu Jian straightened his body and said, "I'm thinking about a way to deal with it, drinking is just my way of thinking, don't care." ”

Unwilling to discuss the details with Wu Jian, Yang Ming said: "Uncle, Weng Lao is here, maybe there is a way to cure your poison." ”

Hearing this, Wu Jian noticed Weng Lao and Cai Yin standing behind Yang Ming.

"Elder Weng, why did you come to Wuxian City too?"

"It's a long story, let me see your injuries first, I heard Yang Ming say that you were poisoned by Blood Shenglan. Weng Lao stepped forward and said with concern.

Wu Jian nodded, and then opened his clothes, revealing the orchid that grew on his chest, because of the human world, the blood orchid also stopped growing, but after the night before, the blood orchid had already given birth to flower bones, and was about to bud to be released, as long as the blood orchid bloomed, Wu Jian's life would come to an end.

Looking at the orchid on Wu Jian's chest, Weng Lao's face was grim, and his brows were furrowed, "Sure enough, it's a blood-born orchid, if it hadn't been taken in the world, I'm afraid it would have bloomed by now." ”

"Look at it like this, the roots of the blood orchid have penetrated deep into the heart, and even the immortals have no way to return to the sky. ”

Wu Jian knew that Blood Sheng Lan was powerful, so he didn't have much hope, and just as he was about to close his clothes, a pair of small hands were placed on his chest.

Wu Jian looked at this little medicine boy curiously, with a silver mask, quite mysterious, but a pair of bright eyes were indeed very smart, her small hand was on the blood orchid, her eyes were focused.

"Are you ......" Wu Jian had never seen Cai Yin and asked,

"Her name is Cai Yin, and she is Weng Lao's medicine boy. Yang Ming hurriedly explained,

After a while, Cai Yin withdrew her little hand, and then said, "This blood sheng orchid is indeed powerful, but it is not impossible to heal. ”

The girl's words were very light, but as soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
