Chapter 7: Liangyi Young Valley Master? What Young Valley Master?
After experiencing all sorts of twists and turns, Chu Sheng and Ling Fengzhi finally arrived at Futu Island where Liangyi Valley was located.
Futuzhou is backed by the Canglang Mountains and faces the East China Sea. It borders Jingnanzhou and Donglinzhou. Due to its diverse terrain and rich medicinal plant resources, it has become a happy hometown for medical practitioners.
As a major sect that leads the medical field, Liangyi Valley is located here.
This time, Liangyi Valley sent out invitations everywhere, inviting cultivators from all walks of life to come. This was an advancement ceremony held to celebrate the foundation-building of the beloved son of the current master of Liangyi Valley.
As soon as they entered the Futu Continent, Chu Sheng and Ling Fengzhi were both stunned:
From the border of Futu Continent to the eight main cities within the continent, the roads are covered with golden leaves as soft as paper, and broken jade of varying sizes are luxuriously laid on the ground as tiles.
The trees, flowers and plants on both sides of the road, the taller branches are covered with dreamy colorful brocade, and the lower branches with flower buds are all covered with shark gauze dotted with pearls.
The spiritual power faintly emanating from these things has become so dense that it is almost tangible, covering the entire road like smoke.
What a dazzling display of financial power that is almost blinding!
The whistling of the wind in his ears seemed to gradually subside. Chu Sheng looked up and saw that the flying boat had landed outside Gancheng, the largest city in Futuzhou where Liangyi Valley was located.
The invitation brought by Chu Sheng turned into a stream of light and flew out the moment the two of them got off the flying boat, but within a few breaths, it flew back to her hand with the jade token.
Ling Fengzhi watched Chu Sheng inject spiritual power into the jade token, and an elegant female voice came from it.
[The invitation from Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng has been received. Please wait a moment. Your exclusive guide will soon arrive to guide you into the ceremony venue in an orderly manner.]
"This is such a meticulous arrangement, Liangyi Valley has put a lot of effort into it." Someone nearby saw Chu Sheng's actions and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just that my beloved son successfully established his foundation, yet the Lord of Liangyi Valley is willing to mobilize such a large force. He is indeed a wealthy medical practitioner!"
"Just foundation building, hush... How dare you say that! Do you know who the beloved son of the master of Liangyi Valley is?" The passerby looked left and right and spoke in a low voice, not knowing that his words had been heard by Chu Sheng and Ling Fengzhi without any concealment.
"That's a famous devil. Rumor has it that he has a strange personality and extraordinary healing methods. Every cultivator who has been cured by him feels as if they have just passed through the gates of hell...!"
A doctor's job is to cure illnesses and save lives, so why should they be so restrictive about the methods used? Such behind-the-scenes comments are truly inappropriate.
Ling Fengzhi frowned, quite disliking the look of this kind of person.
"What people like this say is mostly hearsay. Maybe even the doctor himself has never seen him..." Chu Sheng glanced at the position of the person who was speaking and shook his head.
"Anyone who has truly walked through the gates of hell should be more cautious in what they say and do. How could the ghost officer let him off alone? He's really being shameless."
He did not express his thoughts and ideas out loud, but Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng expressed the same opinion as himself... Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng was indeed someone who was on the same wavelength as him!
Ling Fengzhi's heart was in turmoil, and he subconsciously patted Chu Sheng's shoulder. Facing Chu Sheng's gaze, he didn't know what to say at this moment. He held it in for a long time before speaking to Chu Sheng.
"you're right!"
Chu Sheng felt that the operation of Tongxin Jue suddenly accelerated a little, and looked at Ling Fengzhi thoughtfully.
The last time the Hehuan Tongxin Jue made a sudden advancement, it was because he fought side by side with Ling Fengzhi under special circumstances. This time there was another slight progress, but he just said something that he agreed with.
Could it be that the progress of practicing Tongxin Jue is related to Ling Fengzhi's recognition of himself?
Is there something special about Ling Fengzhi, or does it mean that other people also have this effect, but I just haven't noticed it before...
Chu Sheng suddenly began to think.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Fellow Daoist Chu has come from afar and must have had a hard time on the journey." A lively female voice interrupted Chu Sheng's trance.
A baby-faced girl with pigtails and wearing the Liangyi Valley's signature black and white sect disciple uniform came to greet us with a smile. As she walked, a slightly bitter medicinal fragrance wafted over.
"I'm Zhuo Qing. You can ask me any questions you have in the next two days—" The baby-faced girl spoke to Chu Sheng in a sunny and cheerful manner, but her slightly scrutinizing eyes were cast accurately at Ling Fengzhi.
"I already know the purpose of Fellow Daoist Chu's visit. Your sect has always been an ally of Liangyi Valley. This fellow Daoist's situation is not difficult to handle. Liangyi Valley will resolve it for him."
"Thank you very much. I'll leave it to Brother Zhuo." Chu Sheng bowed to Zhuo Qing.
She didn't look down on Zhuo Qing just because he looked immature and his cultivation was only at the Qi training stage. Medical practitioners had many karmic consequences for healing and saving lives, and progressing through their cultivation was extremely difficult, so naturally, the same criteria couldn't be applied to other cultivators.
"My name is Ling Fengzhi. Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Zhuo Qing." Ling Fengzhi also saluted Zhuo Qing.
"Come with me." Zhuo Qing nodded with satisfaction and led the two into the main city. The black and white pompoms hanging on her hairpins swayed with her steps, and the slightly bitter aroma of medicine lingered around her body.
The gatekeeper only took one look at Zhuo Qing's disciple uniform before letting the three of them through. Once they entered the gate, the uniqueness of Gancheng was revealed to everyone:
Patches of medicinal fields of various shapes stretch out one after another, filling the gap between heaven and earth. Medicine boys and spirit beasts pick herbs between fields, and flocks of cranes fly and circle in the sky, taking off and landing from time to time.
At the end of the medicine field, there is a group of thatched huts. Many monks with different expressions are waiting for treatment there. The disciples of Liangyi Valley, wearing black and white sect uniforms, shuttle between the huts and the patients, looking very busy.
"Welcome to Liangyi Valley, Fellow Daoist Chu, Fellow Daoist Ling." Zhuo Qing took a few quick steps forward, opened his arms, and called for several cranes to land.
"Fellow Daoist Ling's injuries are relatively simple to treat. We only need to ask the disciples of the Medicine Hall to handle them. However, Fellow Daoist Ling is a sword cultivator after all. It would be bad if he suddenly became violent during treatment. Therefore, we usually take some measures to prevent such a situation from happening..."
Zhuo Qing signaled Ling Fengzhi and Chu Sheng to step forward and walk in front of the crane. Ling Fengzhi was about to move forward when he suddenly felt dizzy.
"Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng..." Be careful!
Before he could even finish his words, Ling Fengzhi only had time to pull the Frost Sword out from behind before he fainted the next second.
"Okay, be quiet." Zhuo Qing smiled with curved eyebrows. The crane also stepped forward quite skillfully, carried the unconscious swordsman on its back very skillfully, and flapped its wings to fly towards the medicine house.
"...Is this the measure that Liangyi Valley will take?" Chu Sheng subconsciously took a half step back and asked with some difficulty.
The baby-faced girl turned her head to look at Chu Sheng. She was a little surprised that she was still awake, but she still had a smile on her face.
"That's roughly the case, but my methods are a little rougher than those of my colleagues. I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, were you scared by me just now?"
Chu Sheng stared at the smiling baby face, his mind racing at the speed of light.
Zhuo Qing, Zhuo Qing... Zhuo Qing.
Black is turbid, white is clear, black and white form yin and yang, yin and yang give rise to two principles. A cultivator who can use the name of Liangyi Valley as a pseudonym and dare to act in this way...
"Nothing, forgive my short sight. I didn't expect that the Young Valley Master would come to greet me personally. I'm really flattered." Chu Sheng looked at the smiling Zhuo Qing, took a half step back again, and saluted with his sword.
"Excuse me, I have long heard of the name of Young Valley Master Guixuan."
"Unexpectedly, the Hehuan Sect is as well-informed as ever." Gui Xuan tilted her head and looked at her. After her identity was exposed, she stopped pretending and her voice instantly changed to a cheerful boyish voice.
"Are you the elusive disciple of Venerable Yunmeng?"
"That's right," Chu Sheng said. "My master should have already sent the gift..."
"That's right, twenty pieces of Yin Yang Albizia wood that can be used as medicine. Even if it were put on the auction at the Duobao Pagoda, it would cost at least eight thousand high-quality spirit stones. Venerable Yunmeng is really generous this time."
Gui Xuan clapped her hands in admiration, and her eyes, which were too clearly black and white, looked at Chu Sheng, shining as if she saw a mountain of gold.
"Although the invitation is for the Hehuan Sect, Venerable Yunmeng is also a major patron of Liangyi Valley. I heard that you have had some minor setbacks in your cultivation. Do you need me to perform some body training and repair for you?"
Chu Sheng looked at Gui Xuan with a smile on her face, and something flashed through his mind, and he took a half step back in an instant.
"Master asked you to take this opportunity to check my health as well?"
"I didn't say anything." Gui Xuan blinked, looking innocent and adorable. "There are many benefits to cultivating your body during the Foundation Establishment Stage. This is also the sincere love that Master Yunmeng shows for his disciple—"
No wonder Master said it was still in time...it turned out he had planned everything! Chu Sheng suddenly realized it at this moment.
She should have known that since she was accepted as Yun Mengzi's disciple, wherever she went, no matter if something happened actively or passively, he would definitely be involved behind the scenes!
"...I understand. Thank you for your concern, Young Valley Master." Chu Sheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and answered calmly.
"I knew that the disciple of Master Yunmeng would be a straightforward person," Gui Xuan said with a smile. He clapped his hands, and the cranes that had been circling around them for a long time flew away. Then he turned and held out his hand to Chu Sheng.
"As a VIP, Venerable Yunmeng, we have an obligation to protect your details. Therefore, I will personally perform Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng's body refining and restoration. Materials and treatment will require admission to the sect's unified high-level treatment cave. Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, please?"
"Thank you, Young Valley Master."
Chu Sheng put his hand on her and looked at Gui Xuan for a moment, and his eyes were spinning.
Is it drugs? But when?!
"She truly deserves to be the disciple of Master Yunmeng. Ordinary incense can't do anything to her. I have to take action myself."
Chu Sheng only vaguely heard Gui Xuan sighing softly. "No wonder my father specifically ordered the Yunmeng lineage to receive the strongest possible medicine. He's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and his resistance to medicine is comparable to that of a Golden Core..."
Master! What exactly did you do when you came to Liangyi Valley?
The voice in his ear became smaller and smaller, and farther and farther away. Before falling into coma, Chu Sheng had only one thought left.
Guixuan, huh? I really believed your lies!
