Chapter 56: The Destined and Lucky Woman
Outside the Wuji Palace, the sky was filled with stars, pouring down like a stream. On the Wangxian Terrace, Shangqing Zhenren stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast starry sky above his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"This time when the demons appeared, the ancestor did not show up like last time. I think there should be no problem." Taoist Qianyuan, dressed in a yellow robe, walked out of the Wuji Palace and looked up at the sky with Taoist Shangqing. The nebula there looked like a rose, as if in a dream.
But Shangqing Zhenren seemed not to have heard anything. He stared at some star in a trance. After a long while, he finally replied:
"I hope so..."
…
This martial arts performance was just as Long Qi had said. Although the theme was the Jade Spirit Fruit, it was actually a test of the disciples' adaptability. Regardless of whether the fruit they picked matched the theme or not, as long as it could be used as medicine, they would receive points. As for the point deduction mentioned by Danyang Zhenren before entering the formation, it was just a pretext.
However, even with this sentence, some people are still hesitant and end up with nothing in their pockets.
But what no one expected was that the winner was Banxia, who could do nothing.
It was quite a coincidence that Banxia won this martial arts performance.
That day, after Shangqing Zhenren drove away the demons, Banxia, who was sitting on the ground, felt as if she had grasped something in her hand. When she looked down, she found that it was a long-bearded fairy grass.
The grass seemed alive, its long white whiskers floating like fairy clouds, but its stems and leaves were reddish-brown.
And the moment she picked it up, the mountain formation on Yinyu Mountain suddenly collapsed.
That’s right, she is the person with great luck that Danyang Zhenren mentioned.
Youyun Perilla can soothe stubborn pain and cure strange poisons. Unlike ordinary spiritual plants, it is a rootless spiritual plant. It will stay wherever there is abundant spiritual energy, but it will not stay in one place for long.
At that time, Master Zhao Ming was attracted by this habit of the tree, so he placed the center of the formation on a wandering cloud purple basil, so the formation was covered with clouds and blocked the sun, making it difficult to distinguish the four directions.
It was also because of this that Banxia, who had originally gained nothing, suddenly obtained the highest score and won the martial arts performance.
Banxia doesn't have many special talents, except for two things that others cannot match. One is that she has a photographic memory. If someone else had the two volumes of "Talisman Theory", it would take them at least half a month to remember them all. However, she memorized seven or eight of them after just flipping through them casually in one night.
The second is luck.
She has never lost when playing with her playmates since she was a child. When she was a kid, a few kids went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and roast them, but they found they were all poisonous. They went home with vomiting and diarrhea, and they had to ask a doctor in the city to save their lives. But she was not hurt at all from beginning to end.
Over the years, no matter what happens, I can always turn danger into safety.
The people in the village always felt that this girl had some evil nature, so they collected some money for her this year and sent her to Guyang City.
This delivery was a coincidence. Just when Lingxiang took down the notice board for the recruitment of doctors by the Lord of Guyang City, she also happened to see the notice board for the Yuanqing School. Thinking that she had nowhere to go anyway, she came to Jiuque Mountain as the notice said.
The Yuanqing School required a name card to admit disciples, but she was sent out by the villagers without knowing why, so how could she bring a name card? So she thought about going to the mountains to make a living first.
As luck would have it, the total number of disciples he had recruited in one day was sixty-three, and it would have been unlucky not to have two of them. Meanwhile, Banxia, who was foraging for food in the mountains, happened to encounter the Taoist Master Donghui, who was strolling along. Seeing her raised eyebrows and clear eyes, Taoist Master Donghui realized that she was destined for great fortune, so he decided to get her a name badge.
Han Yang was originally troubled by the matter of this disciple, but Master Donghui's move just solved the problem for him and gave his uncle some face. Why not do it?
So she became a disciple of the Yuanqing School.
But she had only read a few books with her younger brother since she was little, so how could she understand anything about Taoism, let alone martial arts and swordsmanship? But she was lucky. Although her sword skills hadn't been very good in the past two months, under the intentional or unintentional cultivation of Master Donghui, she had gradually gained access to profound energy.
Some readers said that it was impossible for her to have such a coincidence in the world, but there is no coincidence in the world, right?
Take their first martial arts performance for example. Her opponent had caught a cold the day before and was in a state of confusion during the fight, but she managed to win the match.
Besides, regarding this martial arts performance, not to mention that she was able to capture Youyun Zisu while letting him go, the fact that she was able to remain unscathed among the monsters was enough to show that this girl had extraordinary luck.
Who knows, in this age when spiritual roots are scarce, she might be able to rely on this good fortune to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.
In comparison, if there are people with good luck, there will naturally be people with bad luck.
That day, Lingxiang was cursing while lighting an old cauldron: It's just a small elixir of Fu Fang, but this old man Shangqing actually gave her such a big cauldron. Could it be that he has become confused because of his old age? If that's the case, he should abdicate early and let her enjoy the pleasure of being in a higher position.
However, even though it is a small Fu Fang, we cannot be careless. If the fire is not hidden well, firstly, the refined pills may turn into pill residue, and secondly, the furnace may explode when the fire is lit.
Lingxiang still remembers that when she was a child, she was making medicine. Once, she put a little too much saltpeter in the fire. Just that little bit blew up half of Xianyunju. If Master Fuyin had not been there at the time, her life would have gone to paradise with the explosion.
The Exorcism Pill was refined in just one day. As Lingxiang had expected, the quality was only mid-level. Looking at the pill in her hand, she once again greeted her senior brothers in her heart.
With the evil-repelling pill, taken internally and applied externally, the miasma was cleared from everyone in just one night. Cheng Qi got up early the next morning with a cloth tied around his neck to practice swordplay.
In the past two days, he always felt like there was an energy wandering in his body, and he couldn't calm it down no matter how hard he tried to regulate his breathing. But he didn't know what was wrong with him. He just thought it was because he had been lying in bed for too long, causing the internal energy to be out of balance. Once the poison was detoxified, he could wield the sword.
Like him, Liu Xia also felt restless with anger and didn't know why. After practicing sword for two days, he found that he could not dissolve this impulsive anger, so he started meditating every day.
Zhao Wuyang wasn't as strong as Cheng Qi, and although he'd recovered from the poison, his wounds hadn't healed properly. Mai Dong's daily visit to care for him made him feel uncomfortable. Whenever Liu Xia or Cheng Qi practiced swordplay, he would endure the pain, leaning on his long staff and sitting nearby, watching them practice while basking in the sun.
Perhaps he was frightened by Maidong's idea of taking care of him personally. Although Xinyi had serious internal and external injuries, he recovered the fastest. After the miasma was cleared, he was able to get out of bed within two days. Maidong was so anxious that he kept chasing him and asked him to go back to bed to rest.
However, Long Qi seemed to be a little different this time. Although he had been cured of the miasma, he was still in a deep sleep. Zhenren Fuyin came to treat him personally. Although the blood regurgitation injury had not been cured, he should have woken up, but for some reason he was still in a coma, and he would have a fever from time to time and kept talking in his delirium.
Could it be that the monster during the martial arts performance scared him so much that he became mentally ill and had a nightmare?
