Chapter 250: The shared love between master and disciple
Yuan Zhi came out of the cave. Lin Zhi saw him but did not ask any questions.
If you want to actively control the distance, at least start by not releasing signals easily. Of course, be careful not to get unhooked.
The monster that bit Ji Jiao was a first-level poisonous scorpion beast. Xi Tongying and their team's mission this time was to collect its scorpion tails.
For two dual spiritual root disciples who were at the third or fourth level of Qi training, one poisonous scorpion was not a threat, but most poisonous scorpion beasts were in groups of three or five. Xi Tongying and her friends unfortunately encountered five of them this time. Even though the poisonous scorpions were all dead, Ji Jiao and Xi Tongying were both stabbed in many places by the scorpion's tail, and Ji Jiao was unfortunately poisoned.
Xi Tongying lowered her head and cut the grass around. She didn't know which kind Lin Zhi wanted, so she picked all she saw.
A few herbs were handed to Xi Tongying. Xi Tongying looked at Yuan Zhi who came to help and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Yuan."
"These should be enough. There should be what you want in there. We can go back now."
Xi Tongying hugged a pile of grass and nodded. She heard the young man in front of her say, "Do you still have a communication talisman on you?"
"Yes, do you want it, Junior Brother? I'll get it for you."
"Give one to my brother later."
Xi Tongying's communication talisman is a one-way communication talisman. Both the sent and received talismans will burn and disappear.
Xi Tongying nodded. She remembered it.
"I'm going to do the mission first. Tell my senior brother for me."
Although Xi Tongying was a little confused as to why he didn't say it himself, she still nodded and said, "Junior brother, be careful."
She didn't react much to Yuan Zhi's challenge to the second-order monster in the original realm. First, Yuan Zhi's cultivation was higher than hers. Second, Yuan Zhi was the disciple of the Sword Master and he must have no shortage of magic weapons and elixirs. Even if he was only at the sixth level of Qi training, with these, he wouldn't be too embarrassed to fight against a second-order monster comparable to the foundation-building level.
The young man in black walked towards the east. Xi Tongying withdrew her gaze and returned to the cave with the things in her arms.
"Brother, please check if there is any detoxifying herb in here. If not, I will go and look for it."
Xi Tongying looked at Ji Jiao lying on the ground covered in wounds, and her eyes became a little red.
They grew up together, but this was the first time they saw Ji Jiao get injured so badly.
Lin Zhi had already adjusted Ji Jiao's spiritual energy. She took a look at the pile of herbs mixed with weeds and gave a definite answer: "Yes."
He picked out one of the plants. Seeing this, Xi Tongying said, "This was picked by Junior Brother Yuan. By the way, he asked me to tell you that he is going to the east to complete a mission first."
Xi Tongying took out a talisman from her spirit ring and handed it to Lin Zhi, saying, "Brother, I'll give you another one."
Lin Zhi nodded when he heard this, indicating that he already understood, and walked aside with the herbs.
He could extract and refine the medicinal liquid from it, which was not difficult for him as he had practiced with creeping vines before. However, in the world of cultivation, this method was usually only possible for disciples in the middle stage of foundation building to succeed on low-grade spiritual herbs. The higher the level of cultivation, the easier it was to use the lower the grade of the spiritual herbs.
Lin Zhi, who was at the fourth level of Qi training, had no intention of showing off, so he took out the medicine cauldron, a must-have for medicine disciples, from his jade pendant, borrowed fire from Xi Tongying, who had dual spiritual roots of thunder and fire, and began to boil medicine.
Xi Tongying stayed beside Ji Jiao and said with some annoyance, "We can't be so reckless next time. I'll ask my mother to make a defensive magic weapon for you when we get back."
The reason why she was not seriously injured was because she had a magic weapon that could defend against attacks from the Foundation Establishment Stage, and she also threw out a lot of talismans. If not for this, they might not have been able to kill those poisonous scorpions so easily. This kind of low-level monster is easy to deal with alone, but it is very difficult to deal with when several of them work together.
Ji Jiao reflected, "I was indeed careless. I only saw three outside and didn't notice that there were two more hiding inside."
"Next time, you can smear the meat with thorn fruit and throw it outside their nest to check the situation. The taste of thorn fruit is more like blood, which is very attractive. Low-level monsters have no intelligence and it is difficult for them to identify traps."
Lin Zhi brought the medicine soup to Ji Jiao and motioned for him to drink it.
Ji Jiao's lower body was already stiff, but his hands could still move. He took the bamboo tube and drank it, then used the Cleansing Dust Technique and Water Technique to clean it twice before returning it.
Xi Tongying's eyes lit up and she said, "That sounds great. Senior Brother, how did you know about this?"
“It’s recorded in the book.”
"The Book of All Spirits" is equivalent to a complete collection of plants. Practicing Taoism can abandon the cycle of grains and sleep, so Lin Zhi has a lot of time to study it.
"Senior brother is really knowledgeable."
Xi Tongying said admiringly, and Ji Jiao agreed.
"I just happened to see it," Lin Zhi smiled and changed the subject, looking at Ji Jiao, "How do you feel about it?"
Ji Jiao: "It seems to be able to move."
The herbs processed by Lin Zhi took effect quickly, and Ji Jiao quickly detoxified himself. He sat cross-legged and meditated to regulate his breathing, and Xi Tongying followed suit.
Lin Zhi was collecting spiritual plants, thinking about the next plan in his mind, wondering when to take a step forward. It was not enough to just contact Yuan Zhi, he had to find a way to establish some connection with Ting Yan.
Listening to the original scene, it was already dark.
Xi Tongying picked up some branches and started a fire in the cave. After taking the fasting pills, several people no longer needed to drink water and could meditate with a cushion.
"Brother, we still have to go to the east to hunt a giant fish and get its swim bladder. Let's act together tomorrow," Xi Tongying invited. After seeing Lin Zhi nod and look outside the cave, she said, "I don't know why Junior Brother Yuan..."
Before Xi Tongying could finish her words, she saw the sound transmission talisman in her pocket fly out, and the young man's slightly weak voice was heard as it burned.
"Brother, I'm injured."
The information that the talisman paper can convey is limited. After burning, it turns into a wisp of white smoke and spreads outwards.
Xi Tongying replied with a bit of embarrassment: "Junior Brother Yuan should want to send a letter to you, Senior Brother, but my sound transmission note can only be sent to random talisman paper, so I can't be sure who it is."
However, before Xi Tongying finished explaining, Lin Zhi had already walked out.
"Brother, wait for us!"
Xi Tongying put away the futon, Ji Jiao put out the fire, and the two of them hurriedly chased after him.
Lin Zhi did not deliberately stop to wait for them to join him. Instead, he used the wind control technique to head towards the black dot that appeared on the map in his mind.
How did Yuan Zhi get injured? Didn’t Tingyan prepare anything for him?
Although it was reckless and rude to challenge a second-level monster at the sixth level of Qi training, Lin Zhi knew that Yuan Zhi was sure. In other words, without certainty, who would seek death?
How did Yuan Zhi get injured? Ting Yan actually has a say in this.
After regulating his breathing for a while to calm the pain in his internal organs, Ting Yan changed his posture and opened the water mirror, but he only saw the split soul, which made him a little bored.
The twin snakes are very deadly to ordinary disciples at the sixth level of Qi training, but they are no problem to Yuan Zhi.
Yuan Zhi's body was originally made with the materials he used to forge swords. He also had a golden spiritual root that was very compatible with the sword. His mind was simple and pure, and he was able to focus on swordsmanship. He also had his own insights into swordsmanship, so it was not difficult for him to challenge opponents of higher levels.
But Tingyan didn't know why Yuan Zhi made himself so embarrassed. He clearly left a trace of sword energy for Yuan Zhi, but Yuan Zhi didn't use it. He just relied on his own ability to kill and skin the twin snakes.
It is very thrilling and the scene is full of irresistible youthful spirit, but what's the use? It is neither a hero saving a beauty nor a show of coquettishness. The audience who should be here are not here. What's the point?
Soon, Tingyan's meaning appeared in the water mirror, and his brows relaxed slightly.
The easternmost hills of Tingyuan Territory are now in ruins.
The damage to the vitality of this patch of plants was fed back into Lin Zhi's perception. There were signs of corrosion on the ground, with a lot of black scales scattered around. Deep sword marks were left on the thick tree trunks and broken rocks.
The young man in black sat under a still intact tree, his whole body emitting blood.
He looked badly injured, with a bloodstain on his right cheek, which made his childish and heroic face look bloody. He looked up at the person coming vigilantly with a sharp light in his eyes, but it soon turned into a bright glow.
"Brother."
Yuan Zhi stared at the approaching young man, and all the words seemed to be revealed in his eyes.
"Have you taken the rejuvenation pill?"
Lin Zhi approached and without further ado, sent a wisp of spiritual energy into Yuan Zhi's body to check on his condition.
Fortunately, most of them were external injuries and the internal injuries were not serious.
Yuan Zhi said honestly: "I'm done eating."
"Brother, this is for you."
Yuan Zhi handed something hidden behind his back to Lin Zhi as if he was presenting a treasure. His arm was injured and his movements were somewhat uncontrollable. His fingers hit Lin Zhi's face directly, leaving a blood mark.
"It's dirty."
Yuan Zhi was a little annoyed and subconsciously wanted to wipe it with his clothes, but then he found that his clothes were covered in blood and he froze on the spot.
He seemed a little clumsy in this manner. The dancing grass lying in his scarred palm was glowing with a faint golden light in the night, as if it had hidden a small piece of the sun's afterglow to illuminate each other's faces.
"No problem."
Lin Zhi looked into the boy's eyes and took out the medicine from the jade pendant. A large area of fresh vines quickly curled up and died. The green juice extracted from their bodies condensed into a small drop, floating on Lin Zhi's fingertips.
"It hurts a bit, don't move."
He held Yuan Zhi's fingertips and melted the drop of medicine into Yuan Zhi's flesh and blood.
Yuan Zhi's whole body suddenly stiffened, not because of the pain caused by the medicine entering his body, but because the young man's hand holding him was too soft.
They were very close to each other, and he could smell the faint sweet fragrance around his senior brother in addition to the scent of grass and wood. It seemed to come from within his clothes and beneath his skin, attracting people to smell it.
When Lin Zhi withdrew his hand, Yuan Zhi pushed his hand forward again.
The dancing grass emitted a soft light, making the boy's eyes even clearer.
This time, Lin Zhi did not say anything like "no merit, no reward" and put the Wuqing grass into the storage jade pendant.
"Thank you, Junior Brother. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."
This is the promise hidden in human relationships. Yuan Zhi didn't understand it, but he knew that his relationship with Lin Zhi had become closer, so he was very happy.
The scene of the young men interacting with each other seemed particularly harmonious in the eyes of others, and Tingyan wiped away the water mirror with confidence.
It doesn't seem so stupid. Giving a gift after being injured can better highlight the value of the gift and can also better break through people's defenses.
Ting Yan endured the itch in his throat, hoping that things would go more smoothly. It would be best if the soul and the love tribulation could know each other and fall in love tomorrow, and end their worldly relationship the day after tomorrow.
However, this medicine cultivator has great talent and will surely achieve great success in the future.
Fortunately, he had his soul separated, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to ask for treatment after they had forgotten each other in this world.
Now it’s easy to say, what Yuan Zhi did has nothing to do with his Tingyan.
Tingyan concealed his thoughts, calmed his mind and concentrated on his cultivation.
In the secret realm, Yuan Zhi, who was being treated, felt a little proud in his heart.
He was really smart. This method was indeed very effective. All the attention of his senior brothers was on him.
