"It's nothing serious, just a little injured, and has been bedridden recently..." Qin Bo replied, his smile became forced.
A little injured, and has been bedridden? Not to mention Xiao Yutang, even Gu Qingxi's eyes became strange.
The strength of the Xiao family is certainly not as good as the four great magic cultivation families, but the gap is not too big. The cultivation of the Xiao family's elder should have reached the state of fusion. How could he have been bedridden for a while if he was just injured?
"Forget it, Yutang, you should go and see it yourself. The elder has been waiting for you to come back. He said that he has a few words to tell you. If he doesn't explain it clearly, he can't rest..." Qin Bo himself also realized that such an answer was inconsistent and would only make people more worried, so he waved his hand and said no more.
Well, this is a confusing statement, and the more you listen, it sounds more like a will, which makes people more worried.
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yutang ran quickly towards the elder's residence.
"Don't worry, Yutang, the elder is fine, there is still time to say a few words." Seeing Xiao Yutang so anxious, Qin Bo hurriedly comforted him loudly.
However, is this really comfort? The elder only has time to say a few last words, and he still says he is fine?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yutang moved faster.
"Alas, this child is just impatient. No matter how old he is, he still can't change. It makes the girl laugh." Qin Bo shook his head and said, looking at Xiao Yutang's hurried back, it was like looking at his own naughty grandchildren, and his eyes were even more loving.
Gu Qingxi curled her lips: Can you blame Xiao Yutang for being impatient? Even an outsider like me is almost scared to death by you. It would be strange if he is not anxious?
On the way here, she once heard Xiao Yutang say: When he was three years old, his parents went out for training and never came back, so he was actually raised by the elder.
The elder never married in his life and always treated him as his own grandson.
Now that he has grown up, Xiao Yutang has a very faint impression of his parents. To him, the closest person in the world is the Great Elder.
"By the way, the young lady is not a member of the Xiao family, what should I call her?" Just as Gu Qingxi was secretly complaining, Qin Bo politely bowed and asked.
"Qin Bo, there is no need to be polite. I am Xiao Yutang's friend, Gu Qingxi." Gu Qingxi hurriedly returned the greeting.
She complained in her heart, but she still maintained due respect for this old man with a lot of white hair and beard.
"Gu Qingxi from the Renxin League and the Zhendan League?" Qin Bo just heard people talking about Xiao Yutang's return and immediately went out to greet her. He didn't hear a word about what happened afterwards, and was shocked to hear the words.
"Yes, it's me." Gu Qingxi nodded, not surprised that Qin Bo had heard of her "big name".
It has been quite some time since the competition between the Renxin League and the Demonic Doctor League, and her name should have spread.
Perhaps some of the cultivation families or magic cultivation families who think they are superior still don't take her seriously, but how could a family like the Xiao family, which has a long history and a deeper foundation than the four major magic cultivation families, be as short-sighted as them, and how could they ignore her existence?
Not only Qin Bo, but also Xiao Yujin has heard of her name.
"So you are Master Gu, why didn't Yutang say it earlier!" Qin Bo stomped his feet heavily, pulled Gu Qingxi and chased after Xiao Yutang.
The state of fusion! Gu Qingxi realized that this Qin Bo was actually a strong man in the state of fusion.
Although Xiao Yutang was anxious and ran with all his strength, Qin Bo was stronger and caught up with him in just a few jumps. The three of them came to an ancient and quiet courtyard at the same time.
There were two worried young men guarding the door. When they saw Xiao Yutang coming, they were refreshed and said happily, "Second Young Master, you are finally back."
Xiao Yutang asked anxiously, "How is the elder?"
The two young men looked at each other and answered worriedly, "He is fine now, but he has been unwilling to come because he is waiting for you..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a slightly impatient voice coming from the courtyard: "Elder Xiao, although your cultivation is good, this injury can only be suppressed for a while, not for a lifetime. If you don't use the Nine-Turn Soul-Snatching Technique as soon as possible, your soul will be lost sooner or later, and you will never be able to recover."
Hearing this, Xiao Yutang's face changed drastically.
Without the young man saying anything more, he knew what was going on.
It turned out that the elder had injured his soul, but he was unwilling to treat it in order to wait for him to come back.
But to what extent does the soul need to be injured to use the Nine-Turn Soul-Snatching Technique?
As we all know, because the cultivation method is more cruel, demon cultivators are more resilient than immortal cultivators on the one hand, but on the other hand, they are more likely to breed inner demons and more likely to hurt their souls.
Once the soul is injured, it is more difficult to heal than that of immortal cultivators.
The Nine-turn Soul-stealing Technique is a unique medical technique of demon cultivators, which is very effective in healing damaged souls.
However, this medical technique is similar to the cultivation method of demon cultivators, which is overbearing, cruel and unconventional. If it is used on immortal cultivators, it can cure any disease even if there is no disease, and directly cure those with disease to death.
Even if it is used on demon cultivators, it is still equally dangerous. It is said that out of a hundred demon cultivators with injured souls, less than thirty can be cured, and at least seventy of them have their souls destroyed and are cured into living dead.
Therefore, unless the soul is too seriously injured and there is no other way out, demon cultivators will not easily use this medical technique.
Let alone Xiao Yutang, even Gu Qingxi was secretly shocked when she heard the words "Nine-turn Soul-stealing Technique".
As far as she knew, the success rate of the Nine-turn Soul-stealing Technique was actually less than 30%. Because among those who were cured, at least half of the souls could no longer be improved.
You know, after the cultivation reaches the state of transformation, the soul will become more and more important. If the soul cannot be improved, the cultivation is basically impossible to make any further progress.
So strictly speaking, the success rate of the Nine-turn Soul-stealing Technique is actually only 10% at most.
It seems that what Qin Bo said just now was not completely alarmist. If Xiao Yutang didn't come back and let that person use the Nine-turn Soul-stealing Technique on the elder, he might not even have the chance to tell his last words.
But who is that person, who actually knows the Nine-turn Soul-stealing Technique? This magic medical skill is too difficult to practice. I heard that no one in the cultivation world has learned it for thousands of years.
"Great Elder!" Gu Qingxi was secretly guessing, and Xiao Yutang had already pushed open the courtyard door and rushed in.
"Yutang, you're back." In front of the main door, a tall and haggard old man was leaning against the door frame, looking at Xiao Yutang with a relieved smile on his face.
This old man was the great elder of the Xiao family: Xiao Ningyuan.
"Great elder, why didn't you send me a message immediately if you were injured?" Seeing that the great elder could still hold on for the time being, at least the situation was not as critical as Qin Bo said, Xiao Yutang breathed a sigh of relief and complained.
"It is inevitable for a cultivator to get injured, so why bother with your work?" Xiao Ningyuan said with a smile.
Although he said it lightly, Xiao Yutang's eyes were instantly moistened when he heard this.
