Chapter 16: If you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in brocade clothes
After getting the antidote, Xiao Bai did not delay any longer. He stepped on his sword and flew straight to the servants' room.
In the jungle, Mu Yun followed Xiao Bai by flying his sword at low altitude, hiding his breath all the way.
If she only used her peak foundation-building cultivation to conceal herself, it would be difficult to truly hide herself, so she had to use some witch techniques...
This was also within Xiao Bai's expectations.
This witch's peak foundation-building cultivation is probably fake. Her skills and acting skills are stronger than the elders! There are many hidden formations in Baicao Peak, which is why Elder Yuhu can remain as still as a mountain and hide her true strength. Once she leaves Baicao Peak, her strength will not be enough in front of the several Yuanying masters in the sect.
That's why Xiao Bai chose to let Senior Sister Mu Yun, rather than Elder Yu Hu, accompany him to the servants' room.
Snow and fire mountain, above the mountains.
The snow stopped, which was rare.
The wind is blowing.
Xiao Bai walked quickly with his sword, feeling a little anxious.
They say that wealth and honor never return to one's hometown, like wearing fine clothes at night.
But this time his friend was in trouble, or he himself was in trouble, so he no longer had the mood to go back to the servants' room and show off.
The Xueyan Sect set up service rooms in four directions outside the mountains.
The menial service room where Xiao Bai worked was the largest menial service room in the northwest, with two thousand outer disciples serving there.
Baicao Peak is to the east, and the line connecting the two runs across the entire gate, more than ten miles away, so it is quite far away.
It takes several minutes to steer a sword in the Qi Refining Realm.
The inner disciples Xiao Bai met along the way were all a little confused when they saw a young man wearing a teaching uniform but with only fetal breathing skills and relying on the sword to fly the sword...
By the time the passing disciples realized that this was Elder Yuhu's Taoist partner, Xiao Bai had already flown away.
A servant, but he wields the sword quite skillfully!
…
The northwest servants' house was built in the valley.
There are large tracts of sword bamboo forests on both sides of the mountains, and at the bottom is a stone platform square where the deacon hall, canteen, warehouse and some small workshops are located.
On both sides of the valley, hundreds of stone houses in a row and scattered bamboo houses were built against the mountains.
The stone house is where low-level menial disciples live.
The bamboo house is where high-ranking menial disciples live.
Li Feiyu was a high-level servant, and Xiao Bai also moved into a high-level bamboo house by spending money.
The northwest servant room is located on the outskirts of Xueyan Mountain, far away from the Yanmai area. Not only has the wind and snow here not stopped, but it is also very violent.
As a result, Xiao Bai, who was not wearing any cotton clothes to keep warm, was shivering in the air, his face feeling as if it was being cut by a knife.
Xiao Bai braved the biting cold wind and landed next to Li Feiyu's bamboo house.
I pushed the door open and saw...there was no one in the bamboo house.
Something was wrong! He immediately flew to the square at the bottom of the valley.
In the square, errand disciples wearing grey cotton-padded clothes and bamboo felt blankets were coming and going in a continuous stream despite the wind and snow.
Those who eat eat, and those who move bamboo move bamboo.
Seeing Xiao Bai coming, the servants nearby came over one after another, and they were all envious.
"Xiao Bai, haha, it's Xiao Bai, you finally remembered our brothers!"
"Who is Xiao Bai? This is Elder Xiao! The sect inspection ceremony will be held soon."
"Haha, yes, yes, it's Elder Xiao."
"I say, Elder Xiao, this coaching uniform is not suitable for your current status. You have to wear the elder uniform!"
Xiao Bai nodded.
Haha, just brothers on the surface.
As for the real brothers, most of them nodded and called him "Senior Brother Xiao" at this moment, without trying to be too close.
After all, they knew why Xiao Bai came, and Li Feiyu's condition was not optimistic...
"Brother Xiao, are you back in the chores room this time for Brother Li's matter?"
A short, stocky servant asked tentatively.
Xiao Bai didn't have time for small talk.
"Exactly. Where is Senior Brother?"
The short servant shook his head and sighed, "Brother took a banned drug by mistake and got poisoned. He is now lying in the recuperation cave in the north of the mountain. He is not in good condition, so we dare not approach him."
Xiao Bai's heart tightened.
Is the condition so bad that I dare not approach?
A tall, thin, and kind-looking old man walked over with a sword in his hand.
He corrected the short servant's statement in a deep voice.
"It's not that he took banned drugs by mistake, but that he forced his way through the barriers and became possessed."
The old man is the chief steward of the Northwest Servants' Office.
Zhao Hanwu.
It's considered a country name.
It is said that he is over 150 years old, and he was promoted to the initial stage of Qi Refining when he was 100 years old, which is why he is still alive today.
Most of the deacons in the service room are old men with similar experiences.
After all, young people who can refine qi can directly enter the inner sect to practice. Who would be willing to waste time in the errand room? The errand room deacon, different from the inner sect instructor, is the manager of the errand room. Although the official is not high, he manages a lot of people, which is a lucrative job.
Under Xiao Bai's money-throwing offensive, Zhao Hanwu treated Xiao Bai well and assigned many inner gate tasks to Xiao Bai.
"Deacon Zhao, what's going on?"
Deacon Zhao sighed and said:
"Three days ago, I advised him that now was not the perfect time to break through, but when he saw your rapid advancement, he felt that he could not fall behind, so he secretly took banned drugs and forced his way through... Alas, he is almost hopeless."
Deacon Zhao is old and speaks slowly, which is very frustrating.
Xiao Bai hurriedly said:
"There is still hope. I brought the antidote. Which specific healing cave is it, brother?"
The old man was not in a hurry and said slowly, "When the two disciples found him at Black Rock Slope, he was already unconscious. They could only carry him to the third recuperation cave in the north of the mountain."
"I'll be right there."
After confirming the location, Xiao Bai turned around and left.
The old man grabbed Xiao Bai again and sighed, "He is not in a good condition now. The banned drug poisoning is contagious. The two disciples who found him are still bedridden... You should swallow this protective medicine first."
After saying that, Zhao Hanwu took out a green pill tremblingly and reluctantly.
Xiao Bai took the medicine and swallowed it without thinking.
It is indeed a panacea.
This old man is not bad.
"Let's go."
"I will go with you."
The two walked towards the northern slope one after the other.
The rest of the people followed in twos and threes.
When they arrived at the third sanatorium cave, the servants who had come before only dared to watch from afar, and no one dared to get within ten feet.
Even Deacon Zhao, who was at the Qi Refining Realm, only dared to stay at the door and did not dare to take a step inside.
"Fortunately, you have an even endowment of the five elements, otherwise I would not dare to let you in. Don't be careless when you go in. If anything happens, you must call me immediately."
"good."
Xiao Bai nodded.
He looked around and pushed the door open.
With a squeak.
Although it is a cave, it has a small window, so the room is quite bright and the concentration of spiritual energy is also acceptable, which is better than the stone house and bamboo house.
Unless you are seriously ill or rich, you are not eligible to live in a sanatorium cave.
"Brother Li?"
Xiao Bai shouted from the outer hall.
Empty, no one answered.
I don't know where Senior Sister Mu Yun is hiding, there is no sound at all...
This made Xiao Bai extremely nervous.
Xiao Bai tiptoed into the inner room and saw Li Feiyu lying on the stone bed.
Although the room was ventilated on both sides, a faint, strange fishy smell still permeated the inner room.
"Brother, are you okay?"
On the stone bed, Li Feiyu was lying on his side, facing inward, as if he was sleeping, and his breathing was very weak.
"Did you write the letter?"
Xiao Bai covered his nose and moved closer to the stone bed step by step.
"I brought the antidote to save you."
“Antid…drug…”
Upon hearing the word "antidote", the dying body on the stone bed regained a bit of life.
Li Feiyu slowly turned his head, and stared at Xiao Bai with a pair of dark eyes crawling with maggots.
"Can the inner demon be saved?"
"Yes."
Xiao Bai comforted softly.
He was not frightened at all by the tragic condition of Senior Brother Li who had gone astray and was on the verge of death.
Instead, I feel guilty...
He then took out the prepared antidote, quickly walked to the bedside, and stuffed the pill into his brother's mouth.
At this moment!
A rotten arm covered with talisman paper suddenly stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed Xiao Bai's hand——
"Soul-stealing!"
at the same time!
"Oh no, this is a body possession technique..."
Deacon Zhao, who was guarding outside the door, suddenly rushed in with his sword drawn.
"——Uncle Xiao, wake up!"
