Chapter 29: Feng Lao Out of the Valley (text)
In the next few days, Yiqiē seemed to be back to what it was half a year ago. Pharmacist Feng was very calm, first helped Wu Yan boil the liquid medicine during the day, and then returned to his stone house, carrying a chair, sitting in front of the stone house, basking in the sun, while reading the book with him wherever he walked around like a baby all day long.
Wu Yan began to sit in the medicine tripod every day and practice. He couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the sealed pharmacist's gourd. He was still a fourteen-year-old boy after all.
The more the pharmacist was like this, the stronger the uneasiness in his heart became. However, the Medicine Master Feng never mentioned the matter of devouring the God Gu, and of course he would not be so stupid as to run to touch his head.
Holding back his doubts, Wu Yan desperately practiced the nameless mantra during the day, and secretly climbed into the Yunhai Cave in the middle of the night to take care of the herbs he planted in it, and practiced the technique of hidden killing by the way.
A month has passed. The pharmacist seemed to have completely forgotten Wu Yan's storage, and hid mysteriously in the study every day, and he didn't know what he was doing. Now he doesn't even care about boiling medicinal liquid, he asked Wu Yan to move more than 20 bags of medicinal materials to the stone room where Wu Yan lived, and let Wu Yan boil the medicinal liquid by himself.
However, Wu Yan knew that although the pharmacist didn't care about him on the surface, he was monitoring his every move every day behind the scenes. At least, every day at the end of his cultivation, he could detect the vicious gaze of the Sealed Medicine Master in that gap.
Another month has passed. A qiē still doesn't seem to have changed. But the uneasy feeling in Wu Yan's heart became stronger and stronger. What made him feel a little comforted was that in the past two months, his progress in cultivation had changed drastically.
It used to take him almost two years before he broke through to the third layer realm by chance. But now, only two months have passed, with the help of the medicinal liquid and twelve Ziyang Pills, he has actually broken through to the fifth layer realm, and just a few days ago, he successfully stepped into the sixth layer realm. If it weren't for the fact that the Ziyang Pill was gone, he even believed that in a few days, he could even break through the sixth layer realm and step into the seventh layer.
There are six meridians in the body that have been successfully opened up, and the energy flow in the dantian has grown to a clear and palpable Cheng dù. Even without him deliberately exercising his exercises, he could feel the movement of that energy flowing in his body. It's an indescribable feeling.
Moreover, in these two months, he also successfully mastered the tricks of stealth and stabbing. He even felt that as long as he wanted to, he used the hidden technique to hide in the valley, and it was impossible for the Medicine Sealing Master to find him.
Underneath the stone bed in his stone chamber, there was a pile of knick-knacks. These gadgets were all made by him with the things he had bought for the two handymen, and then quietly brought them down from the Yunhai Cave in the middle of the night and hid them here, just in case.
For example, there are four sets of clothes in different colors. Some of these four sets of clothes are like earth, some are like leaves, some are like rocky walls, and some are like water. Moreover, the lining of each set of clothes is sewn with a special silver-white fabric.
For example, there are five iron pipes with small mechanisms. A specially crafted cowhide belt. In the circle of the belt, there are nearly twenty cow tendon buckles that can be used to hang things.
Now, this belt is tightly tied around his waist. There were a lot of bits and pieces hanging from those cow tendons, and I don't know what they were used for. On the outside of the underwear, Wu Yan put on a black sword suit, completely covering the belt and the things hanging on the belt. There is no clue from the outside.
The quenching dagger that the pharmacist had given him for self-defense was also carefully put away by him and carried it with him at any time.
On this day, Wu Yan had just gotten up and was about to go to Pharmacist Feng's room to say hello to Pharmacist Feng. But when he just walked to the door of the pharmacist seal, he saw the pharmacist come out and lock the door.
Seeing Wu Yan, Pharmacist Feng showed a stiff smile on his face: "Wu Yan, the old man wants to go out of the valley to do something, it may take a day or two to come back, you yourself practice well in the valley, don't run around, you know? The old man will give you a surprise when he comes back this time." ”
I don't know what happy things Pharmacist Feng thought of, and when he said the word surprise, a strange smile appeared on his face.
Wu Yan nodded mechanically and said, "Don't worry, the disciple is cultivating hard every day, and the disciple also wants to break through the fourth layer as soon as possible, and strive to help Feng Lao share his worries as soon as possible." ”
Pharmacist Feng smiled, and walked out of the Thousand Grass Valley briskly with the wooden crutch with the ancient medicine gourd hanging from the head of the cane. Wu Yan scratched his head, he found that the Medicine Master Feng was not quite the same as he usually looked at today.
His love seemed to be very high today, and a rare smile appeared on his face. In the past two months, Pharmacist Feng's attitude towards him has been lukewarm, and he has always been ugly when he sees him with a straight face, as if he has died of his wife.
Wu Yan shook his head, muttered a few words in a low voice, thought about it, and quietly dived into the Yunhai Cave. Since the pharmacist was going out of the valley for a day or two, he could just use this time to concoct several poisons and antidote and healing medicines.
For most of the past six months, he has actually wanted to prepare these drugs for a long time. Since I memorized the "Book of Medicine" and "The Book of Thousand Herbs", I have always wanted to prepare some poisons and antidote and healing drugs according to what they said, and take them with me for self-defense.
It's just a pity that he has been suffering from not finding the right poisonous herbs and herbs. However, since he accidentally learned the secret of Chikusa Valley more than a month ago, this mind has come alive again.
Only now did he know why this place was called Thousand Grass Valley, and why the disciples of the Lonely Mountain Iron Sword Alliance usually took a detour when they came here.
It turned out that on the cliffs on all sides of the Thousand Grass Valley, there were nearly a thousand kinds of strange poisonous weeds and associated antidote herbs. He also went out of the valley by chance more than a month ago, and heard two disciples passing by whispering, saying that the Thousand Grass Valley was not originally called the Thousand Grass Valley, but the Thousand Poison Valley. It is said that before the pharmacist moved into this valley, in addition to the large number of poisonous weeds growing on the mountain wall, there were more poisonous weeds growing in the valley.
In the past, before the Iron Sword Alliance came to Gushan, this place was called the Valley of a Thousand Poisons by the locals, and it has always been a forbidden place for people and animals.
I don't know what the medicine man thinks, but he is willing to put his residence here. Moreover, before he moved into this valley, the first thing he did was to clean all the poisonous weeds in the valley, then dry them for several days, grind them into several large bags of poisonous powder, and sprinkle them on the cliffs on both sides of the valley mouth.
Almost all the disciples in the Iron Sword Alliance knew that the pharmacist Feng was not only skilled in medicine, but also more skilled in poison than in medicine, which was why all the people in the Iron Sword Alliance, even the alliance leader Li Ruoxu, did not dare to embarrass him.
If he didn't have this mastery of poison skills, with his swordsmanship alone, I'm afraid Li Ruoxu would have driven him away long ago. After all, according to the rules of the Iron Sword Alliance, the pharmacist is the most orthodox heir to the Iron Sword Alliance. With him staying in Gushan, Li Ruoxu will never be at ease.
If it weren't for hearing this news, Wu Yan probably wouldn't have been too wary of the pharmacist seal. Since he reached the sixth layer of the nameless mantra a few days ago, his six senses and spiritual consciousness have suddenly undergone a qualitative change, reaching a very terrifying realm. Within a few tens of feet, even if an ant passed by, he could tell which foot of the ant was lifted out first, and his self-confidence was unprecedentedly high, so he was not afraid that the pharmacist would suddenly do something to him.
However, now he knew that the pharmacist Feng was actually a master of using poison, and poison was something that was impossible to guard against, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless. In this way, he had to make some preparations.
And now he's running into a tricky problem. The nameless mantra that the pharmacist Feng copied for him was only the first six layers, and he had now cultivated to the sixth layer, that is to say, he no longer had the mental formulas for subsequent cultivation. However, he lied to the pharmacist at the beginning and said that he had only cultivated to the peak of the second layer and had not been able to break through for a long time. Although this temporarily removed some of the vigilance of the Sealed Medicine Master, it also made him not know how to open his mouth even though he wanted to obtain the seventh-level cultivation mantra from the Sealed Medicine Master.
He had now experienced many benefits from that nameless mantra, such as his current terrifying and sensitive six-sense spiritual sense, his body as light as a feather and a snow, and his speed as swift as a civet cat and mouse. This qiē was something he had never dared to imagine before, and now it filled him with great desire for the follow-up exercises of the nameless mantra. God knows what unexpected benefits you will get if you cultivate the following mental method?
