Chapter 9 Win-Win If I win twice it’s also a win-win!
Although I know that you medical practitioners will work very hard to find the right prescription, but to really reach Gui Xuan's level is too much!
Chu Sheng was shocked and rejected him at the speed of light.
"Fellow Daoist Guixuan, if it doesn't have any major impact, I'd actually be happy to help test the medicine, but the mention of a Daoist companion just now is unnecessary..."
"Huh?" Although she heard Chu Sheng's answer, Gui Xuan, who should have stopped while she was ahead, did not stop there. The Young Master of Liangyi Valley, who had completely missed the point, looked at Chu Sheng in disbelief, and there was even a hint of hurt in his stunned eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, what do you mean by this? So in your eyes, I, the Young Master of Liangyi Valley, am still inferior to that swordsman who is so poor that he can't even afford a penny?"
Chu Sheng was stunned when he heard this.
Isn't your main focus on drug testing? Why are you competing with Fellow Daoist Ling now?
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Gui Xuan looked at Chu Sheng with an expression that said, "You are really a weird person."
"Honestly, Venerable Yunmeng is indeed a very generous and VIP customer. In order to fully maintain customer loyalty, it is not that difficult to understand that they should appropriately establish deep links in other aspects, right?"
"That's true..." Chu Sheng hesitated, feeling the words sounded more and more like modern sales pitches. "But sometimes you can't say that..."
"We in Liangyi Valley are also aware of the situation of the Hehuan Sect. As the only disciple under Venerable Yunmeng, a capable Taoist companion who can help you progress is exactly what you need right now, right?"
Gui Xuan selectively rejected Chu Sheng's unspoken rejection. He tilted his head and spoke in a very sincere tone.
"Of course, under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be the one to choose this position, but fortunately, you have what I need, so I'm serious about this matter."
The more Gui Xuan talked, the more she felt it was feasible, so she looked at Chu Sheng with a burning gaze. "Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, I'm not ugly, am I?"
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Guixuan is handsome and has quite a bit of my father's style..." Chu Sheng was stared at so directly and without malice, so he couldn't refuse directly and had to give an answer.
"Although I'm not the Valley Master of Liangyi Valley yet, I'm your father's only son. With your help, I won't have to worry about my future realm. On top of that, as long as I gain enough cultivation, everything in Liangyi Valley will naturally be mine... In other words, what's mine is yours. This is a pure win-win situation for us!"
Wait, does the Lord of Liangyi Valley know that Fellow Daoist Guixuan is so filial?!
Gui Xuan had no idea what Chu Sheng was thinking. He counted quickly, counting on his fingers.
"So what do you think? Liangyi Valley has always maintained a loyal cooperative relationship with the Hehuan Sect. If Venerable Yunmeng knew about this, he probably wouldn't refuse, right? After all, you are the Hehuan Sect. This kind of thing won't be a disadvantage for you who often change partners."
Faced with the situation that was really a bit confusing, Chu Sheng closed his eyes with a mask of pain on his face.
"Alright, stop, Fellow Daoist Guixuan! Becoming a Daoist couple is absolutely impossible. I've already said that I'm truly ruthless!"
This outrageous plot of a domineering young valley master falling in love with me, who came out of nowhere, please get out of my peaceful and exciting life of cultivating immortals!
Chu Sheng and Gui Xuan were acting out a bizarre and confusing romance script due to information asymmetry. Meanwhile, in the originally quiet and peaceful medicine house, Ling Fengzhi finally broke free from the shackles of the nightmare and suddenly opened his eyes.
In the dream, the girl’s chest was stained with blood as she was chased by pursuers. The scene of her looking at herself with a complicated expression and then falling from a high cliff like a broken petal was still vivid in her mind.
A very real anger made him subconsciously draw his sword, and the sweeping sword energy almost instantly crisscrossed through, frightening the medicine boy beside him so much that he quickly squatted down with his head in his hands.
The bottles and jars that were originally neatly arranged in the medicine room shattered to pieces, and even the tables, chairs and benches were chopped into several pieces and fell to the ground in pieces.
“Chu Sheng…!”
Ling Fengzhi was breathing heavily, and after a while he finally realized that he had just had a dream.
Was it a dream... He moved his eyes slowly, the horrific scene in the dream still replaying in his mind, but his body subconsciously walked out of the medicine house.
Unless they have unintentional thoughts or have some kind of induction, cultivators will not easily sink into dreams. Ling Fengzhi felt that it was inappropriate for him to suddenly dream, not to mention that it involved the cause and effect of other people involved.
Ling Fengzhi believed that this was an ominous nightmare, so his first thought after waking up was to look for Chu Sheng to confirm whether she was safe at the moment.
"You, you, you... stop!" The hiding medicine boy poked his head out and shouted at Ling Fengzhi.
"What's wrong with you, a sword cultivator? After destroying our medicine house, you're going to run away without admitting your responsibility?!"
What on earth is this kid babble about... After hearing what the medicine boy said, Ling Fengzhi finally regained consciousness.
He blinked slowly until he saw clearly where he was. After realizing that he seemed to have messed up something again, the taciturn swordsman froze for a moment.
……broken.
"Fellow Daoist Ling?" Gui Xuan, who had noticed something was wrong, hurried over with Chu Sheng. When they looked up, they saw the crime scene where the swordsman had done something bad and had not had time to escape.
Everything was fine when they separated, so what happened now? Chu Sheng was a little surprised. "What happened here?"
Gui Xuan, who had seen many medical disputes, guessed what had just happened here with just one glance.
He raised his hand, and the medicine boy who had been hiding in the corner like a quail suddenly emerged. The courage he had used to bravely stop Ling Fengzhi had completely disappeared, and he just hugged his young master's legs and started crying.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu, Young Valley Master! As soon as this guy woke up, he started smashing and destroying our medicine hut! Young Valley Master, you have to take charge of this for us!"
"Don't worry, Xiao Huang. I will definitely give everyone an explanation about this matter."
Gui Xuan snored at the medicine boy named Xiao Huang twice like a snoring puppy, and the child's tail was almost swung into a flower. Then she coaxed Xiao Huang into doing other tasks and sent him out immediately.
Chu Sheng casually helped the medicine boy Xiao Huang, who was staggering a little after standing up too quickly. After receiving a polite thank you, he once again felt the slight acceleration of the Hehuan Tongxin Jue.
Ling Fengzhi, Gui Xuan, and Xiao Huang—these three people didn't share the same origins, and their upbringings were also quite different. The Hehuan Tongxin Jue, the core formula of the Hehuan Sect, didn't need to be differentiated based on the randomness of these individuals...
From this point of view, the decisive factor in the advancement of one's mental method probably depends on what one actually does. Chu Sheng seemed to have some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to be completely sure of this possibility.
Saving Ling Fengzhi and fighting off the enemy together with him, this level of help allowed him to directly break through the realm constraints that had troubled him for many years, and his mental skills even reached the second level.
He agreed to let Gui Xuan try out the medicine to help him solve the difficulties in his cultivation, and it had an immediate effect on his progress in the cultivation method.
Although helping Xiao Huang up was a trivial matter, when the little medicine boy expressed his gratitude, his mental method, although weak, actually increased and became a little faster.
——What if the improvement of the power of this technique is related to the extent to which one helps others and the degree to which others are grateful to one?
"This medicine boy is actually a dog demon?"
Ling Fengzhi watched as the little medicine boy, with two inverted triangle-shaped dog ears stuck to the top of his head, took the order without hesitation after thanking Chu Sheng and ran out excitedly. In an instant, he understood where that strange and subtle sense of déjà vu came from.
"Liangyi Valley is truly a place that teaches everyone, and is inclusive and tolerant..."
Ling Fengzhi tried to praise Liangyi Valley to cover up his behavior of demolishing the medicine house without saying a word after waking up, but was retorted by Gui Xuan with a sarcastic remark.
"Yes, yes. We are a small family that wants everything and cannot be put on the stage. We cannot compare with your noble Sword Palace that only accepts elite soldiers and generals. Don't you agree, Fellow Daoist Ling?"
A hundred years ago, due to a misunderstanding in treatment caused by miscommunication, a rift arose between the two chief elders of the Sword Palace and the Liangyi Valley at that time. The representative of the Sword Palace at that time was Ling Fengzhi's master, Buwang Jianzun.
Although this love-hate entanglement between the previous generations did not lead to the two factions becoming enemies, it did make Gui Xuan, the young valley master, speak less friendly when facing Ling Fengzhi, the disciple of Buwang Jianzun.
Ling Fengzhi also belatedly remembered this old event.
Unable to comment on the past events of the previous generation, the swordsman tried to use the art of language to describe his previous remarks. However, after he tried to open his mouth several times and couldn't come up with a good script, facing Gui Xuan's increasingly cold gaze, Ling Fengzhi, who was in the wrong, could only speak in a low voice.
"…I'm sorry. If there's any way I can make amends, I'll do it."
"Fellow Daoist Ling, if you had this idea, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Gui Xuan's expression softened in an instant, and then the young master of Liangyi Valley quickly turned his gaze to Chu Sheng, who was thinking about the correlation between the advancement of his mental skills and helping others.
"Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, look, even Fellow Daoist Ling has agreed. You'll be idle while you stay in Liangyi Valley..."
"Fellow Daoist Guixuan, I have already promised you that I can try the medicine, provided it does not affect your normal cultivation."
Faced with Gui Xuan's persistence, Chu Sheng, who had also wanted to test his own idea, naturally chose to raise his hands in surrender. "But the Daoist Companion thing is really not possible..."
"Daoist companion?" Ling Fengzhi, who suddenly heard the word, looked over in confusion. "What happened?"
Gui Xuan ignored Ling Fengzhi's plan. He looked at Chu Sheng carefully and finally gave in, not knowing whether it was true or not.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Chu Sheng, I respect your choice, but my suggestion remains valid..."
"That's great." Chu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. "As for when I'm not testing drugs, I hope that when I'm practicing on my own, no one else can disturb my state at will."
"Of course. What do you think of us in Liangyi Valley?" Gui Xuan didn't care what Chu Sheng thought. As long as she agreed to the main requirement of testing the medicine, she would naturally agree to other additional conditions that were not excessive.
"Don't worry, as long as you say no, not even a bug, let alone a human, will fly into your training!"
