Chapter 3: The Golden Elixir Appears to Save Shaoying
It turns out that this person's name is Lu Ying. He joined the Tai Shang Sect two years ago. In less than a year, he was able to activate his tendons and bones and break through the body training. Now, he has reached the second level of Qi training in more than a year. With time, he will be able to relax his tendons and meridians and reach the foundation building stage.
The place where Lu Ying was thrown that day was the entrance to Peiyuan Cave. After Lingxiang stabilized the toxicity, he went to explore again. However, although the place was rich in spiritual energy, it was not the location of the spiritual vein. It was only because the terrain was concave compared to the others, and the peaks and rocks were stacked around it, so the spiritual energy accumulated.
But this cave is indeed a treasure land. The stalactites and stalagmites formed over the years are nourished by spiritual energy, and their appearance is so beautiful.
Such beautiful things are indeed excellent materials for refining medicine. Lingxiang used his internal force to dig out two pieces and naturally put them into the Qiankun bag.
This Qiankun bag was originally the most precious treasure of the Yuanqing Sect, a legacy left by an ancient great being, capable of storing a myriad of treasures and objects. However, it itself was unremarkable, and Lingxiang's daughter thoughtfully embellished it with some ornaments. Since she was not well-known to many people, her appearance was even less apparent.
As for why it is in Lingxiang's hands, that is a later story and we will not discuss it for now.
Furthermore, when Taoist Xunfeng saw the person lying in bed, it turned out to be the missing Lu Ying. He was now pale, his lips were dark red, and his neck was eroded, which was really shocking.
He hurried forward to feel for his pulse, but it was weak and his breath was shallow, as if it was running out of energy!
"Lingxiang girl, what is going on?"
"Isn't it obvious that he's been poisoned?"
"I know this is a symptom of poisoning, but why did it end up like this?"
"I am an alchemist and I like to wander in the mountains. I have heard about the rich resources of your sect, so naturally I want to explore the mountains."
Going out late at night to investigate Chonglou's affairs should not be known to the old man, but he is very experienced and it is better for him to admit what he did than to try to hide it. However, he should not make it too obvious so that everyone knows it.
After all, this matter is not glorious. Even if Lingxiang doesn't care about her reputation, she still has to save face.
"I lost track of time while traveling the day before yesterday and strayed into a spiritual realm. I happened to meet him and saved him."
Then he whispered to Taoist Xunfeng, "I have encountered something shameful for your clan. The reason is embarrassing for your clan, so it is not convenient to tell others. It is more important to save people first!"
The visit of Master Xunfeng to the guest house naturally attracted a lot of attention. At this time, some visitors from outside the sect gathered outside the door. Although Lingxiang's purpose made him very dissatisfied, he couldn't get angry in front of so many outsiders.
"It's just that the mountain is filled with spiritual energy, and the poison can't be cured by ordinary means, so I've just been keeping him alive for the past two days. I wanted to find a treatment, but who knew it would suddenly worsen today? I had no choice but to ask you to come and see it in person."
After taking her anti-poison pills for two days, he thought he could find Jiuye Chonglou and save him at the same time, but who knew that the Tai Shang Sect was hiding so deeply. He had no choice but to stop taking his pills.
How could Master Xunfeng not hear the hidden meaning in Lingxiang's words? What she meant was simply: she knew how to save him, but the rescue could not be in vain.
At this time, a Taoist priest in a yellow robe stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Why don't you let me give it a try?"
But this Taoist had tightly tied brown hair, long eyebrows like a beard, narrow red eyes, and wide sleeves like clouds. He looked somewhat like an immortal, but his prominent cheekbones and the mustache on his thin lips made him look like You Meng.
"My name is Chi Yanzi, a wandering monk." He bowed again and said, "I encountered similar symptoms during my early travels."
Taoist Xunfeng quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist." As he said that, he glanced at Lingxiang.
Lingxiang tilted her head, looking indifferent.
Chi Yanzi checked Lu Ying's breath and pulse, pondered for a moment, took out a medium-quality pill from his bosom, fed it to him, and pressed the acupoints on his body, using his internal force to make the pill take effect.
After a cup of tea, Lu Ying's lips gradually became lighter and his blue face faded a little, and he seemed to be getting better.
Upon seeing this, Taoist Xunfeng was overjoyed and hurriedly took Chi Yanzi's hand to express his gratitude.
The two men were still exchanging pleasantries when someone shouted, "He's vomiting blood! He's vomiting blood!"
Lu Ying's face was pale and blood was gushing out of his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Chi Yanzi hurriedly checked his pulse. It was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, intermittent, as if he was about to die.
This made Taoist Xunfeng panic, and he hurriedly asked why.
Chi Yanzi shook his head and bowed apologetically: "Forgive my lack of knowledge and talent. I really don't know why..."
Now Taoist Xunfeng became even more anxious and wanted to go forward and use his internal energy to look inside his tendons, veins and internal organs.
Seeing this, Lingxiang quickly stopped him: "Master, your actions will only lead to his death!"
Everyone present was shocked. They were really like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. Where did this girl come from and dare to speak so arrogantly in front of Master Xunfeng?
Taoist Xunfeng was also shocked, and then became annoyed.
"I respect you as a genius, and since you are young and ignorant, I have been very tolerant of you. Now, the life of our disciples is hanging by a thread, and you are still so arrogant and rebellious. What is the reason?"
Lingxiang remained calm when Taoist Xunfeng scolded her, saying, "Originally, I had a 90% chance of saving him, but after Senior Chi Yanzi's ordeal, that's only 50%. If Senior Chi Yanzi continues to use his heaven-defying methods, there's no hope for him. Even the Great Luo Immortal wouldn't be able to save him."
These words made Chi Yanzi's old face turn red, but he didn't say anything.
Taoist Xunfeng thought carefully after hearing what he said: the girl was indeed not panicked at the beginning, but just now she stopped him without regard for etiquette, which shows that what he said is true.
Seeing him withdraw his magical power, Lingxiang knew that he had listened to her and said, "Although I had selfish motives at first, he really needed your sect's elixir to save him."
She slowly walked towards Lu Ying and took out a pill from her waist. The whole room was immediately filled with fragrance. The pill was shining with golden light and turned out to be a top-grade life-extending pill!
No one present recognized it, but they knew that this pill was definitely not an ordinary one. It was not until Chi Yanzi called out the name in horror that everyone gasped.
"Life-extending pill!"
The life-extending elixir is priceless. There are only three of these elixirs known in the world, and they all disappeared many years ago. Where did this girl come from that she could have such a treasure and not be stingy at all!
Taoist Xunfeng was also surprised, and then he looked ashamed: This is much more precious than ten body-building pills, even the two marrow cleansing pills before are not as valuable as this one!
This kid was actually willing to put aside past grudges and save his sect's disciples. It showed how magnanimous he was, and it made him feel ashamed!
Lingxiang fed the life-extending elixir to Lu Ying to help him swallow it, but she did not use any magic formula to make the elixir circulate throughout his body. She just took out a silver needle to seal his Baihui, Xuanji, Tanzhong, Qihai and Guanyuan acupoints, then signaled the Taoist boy to help him up, and sealed the Fengfu, Shendao, Lingtai, Xuanshu and Yaoyangguan acupoints again, twisting the silver needles from time to time.
This operation took about a moment, but Lingxiang was sweating profusely. These key points were extremely important. If you were not careful, it would cost someone's life.
"My cultivation is limited, so I need to ask a master to help me circulate the Qi."
Seeing her like this, Taoist Xunfeng knew that this method was quite strenuous. He was about to make some hand gestures to boost his energy, but was stopped by Lingxiang again.
"Don't panic, Master. You must cooperate with me in the circulation of the meridians and the acupuncture. Senior Chi Yanzi is an expert in this field. I hope he can help me." Lingxiang said as she bowed to Chi Yanzi.
Chi Yanzi was blaming himself for not learning enough and thus putting Lu Ying in danger. Upon hearing her request, he hurried forward and replied, "I will do my best!"
Then he faced Lu Ying with four palms, gathering his energy and strength.
"Senior, you may begin now, but please do not be too impatient. Once I have finished removing the needles, you can put away the technique."
After a cup of tea, Chi Yanzi's forehead was wet and his cheeks were red, and so was Lu Ying. Lingxiang just started to use the needle.
First, the Yaoyangguan acupoint was taken, and after about half an incense stick of time, the Xuanshu acupoint was taken. After another half an incense stick of time, the Lingtai and Shendao acupoints were taken one after another. The two acupoints were taken in the blink of an eye. After that, the Baihui acupoint was twisted continuously without pulling out the needles.
Taoist Xunfeng just realized that this was to open up Lu Ying's Ren and Du meridians! If that was really the case, then this favor would be a huge debt!
At this time, Lingxiang quickly twisted the Xuanji, Tanzhong, Qihai, and Guanyuan acupoints, and then took out the silver needles from these four acupoints and Fengfu acupoint in the blink of an eye, and finally took out the Baihui acupoint.
"Senior, please stop now, or you might hurt yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzi quickly withdrew his strength and then regulated his breathing.
As everyone was busy, no one noticed the pair of eyes staring at them in the dark. After glaring at Lingxiang, the man disappeared into the crowd.
