Xu An squatted in front of the chessboard, pinched his chin and looked for a long time, but could not see any way out for the black chess.
He scratched his head in annoyance and turned to look at Lu Yunting, "Sir, this game is a dead end."
Lu Yunting did not respond to him, but stared at the chess pieces on the board, silently deducing the direction of the black chess pieces in his mind.
Seeing that he was thinking, Xu An shifted his gaze to Emperor Yuan's secret guards.
"What are you guys standing there for? Come over here and help break the impasse!"
The masked An Yi said coldly: "We don't understand chess."
They were sent by Emperor Yuan to monitor Lu Yunting's every move, and they also came for the ancient divine doctor in Yaoling Valley.
According to legend, the ancient divine doctor in Yaoling Valley can bring the dead back to life, and Emperor Yuan has always wanted to meet him.
Most importantly, the "Lingxi Pills" he developed are said to be able to delay aging and bring the dead back to life.
Unfortunately, the ancient miracle doctor lives in seclusion and it is difficult to meet him.
The reason why Emperor Yuan agreed to let Lu Yunting come to Yaoling Valley was, firstly, for the ancient divine doctor and the "Lingxi Pills", and secondly, to let Lu Yunting know that he had nothing to do with Lu Jinghong's death.
After hearing An Yi's words, Xu An looked as if he didn't need you.
At this moment, Lu Yunting bent down slightly and picked up a black chess piece from the chess pot.
He held the black chess piece in his hand, looked at the chess pieces on the board with deep eyes, and then dropped the black chess piece in his hand.
As the chess piece fell, the stone wall at the entrance of the valley slowly moved to both sides, revealing a mountain road.
Xu An opened his mouth in surprise, "Sir, why do you want to leave here?"
Lu Yunting walked towards the valley, "Since there is no way out, let's take the most dangerous dead end to survive."
Xu An nodded as if he understood, he is indeed a young master!
After Lu Yunting and his party entered the valley, they did not encounter the mechanisms and obstacles they had imagined, but instead arrived at a mountain gate without any obstructions.
Xu An went up and rang the bell in front of the door, and soon the door opened automatically.
They walked in without hesitation, looking around curiously.
As they walked, they saw a girl in green walking towards them.
The girl in green walked up to them and stopped. When she saw Lu Yunting, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
But she quickly retracted her gaze, cleared her throat and asked, "Who broke the chess game outside?"
"He's my son." Xu An's face was full of pride.
The girl in green looked at Lu Yunting, and after a moment asked, "Why did you come to my Yaoling Valley?"
Lu Yunting bowed politely, "I would like to see the ancient divine doctor."
"My master is not someone who can be seen by everyone." The girl in green said as she turned around and walked back. "If you want to seek medical advice, just come to me. But the prerequisite is that you have to do something for me."
"I wonder how I can get to see the ancient divine doctor?"
The girl in green suddenly stopped and said, "It seems that you are here only to look for my master, but unfortunately, my master is not seeing guests at the moment.
However, if you can help me collect a herb, I can let you meet my master."
After saying this, the girl in green turned around and stared into Lu Yunting's eyes.
Lu Yunting did not comment, but just reached out to Xu An, and Xu An tacitly took out a letter from his arms and gave it to him.
"I guess you are the granddaughter of Divine Doctor Gu." Lu Yunting handed her the envelope, "This is the letter Gu Lan asked me to bring to you."
The girl in green took the envelope suspiciously and pulled out the letter inside. After seeing the handwriting on it, she couldn't help but look up at Lu Yunting.
Soon, she finished reading the contents of the letter at a glance.
"Since Senior Brother Gu Lan has begged me so humbly, I will reluctantly introduce you to him." The girl in green stuffed the letter back into the envelope, "Come with me."
The girl in green led them through many twists and turns until they came to the door of a room. She knocked on the door and said, "Grandpa, someone wants to see you."
There was no response from the room. The girl in green waited for a while and then pushed the door open and went in.
There were many medicinal herbs in the room, and a middle-aged man with white hair but who looked only about 40 years old was fiddling with them.
The girl in green walked up to the man and leaned against him, "Grandpa, they are Senior Brother Gu Lan's friends."
The man didn't even raise his eyelids, "Who is Gu Lan?"
As soon as the girl in green heard this, she knew that her grandfather was still angry with Gu Lan, and she immediately said coquettishly: "Grandpa, if you are still angry with him like this, I'm afraid he will never come back."
"He dares!"
"He doesn't dare, so he just sent someone to deliver the letter back!" The girl in green stuffed the envelope into the hands of ancient doctor.
Doctor Gu glanced at the letter in his hand, then opened it with an embarrassed expression.
The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed. That traitor...
Seeing this, Lu Yunting walked over and bowed, saying, "Divine Doctor Gu, I hope you can help me."
The ancient doctor glanced at Lu Yunting, then put down the letter in his hand and continued to tinker with the previous medicinal materials.
"I have long since stopped caring about worldly affairs."
"That man is your apprentice."
Divine Doctor Gu remained calm, "He has long been expelled from our sect and is no longer a disciple of Yaoling Valley."
"But you taught him all those medical skills."
The ancient divine doctor paused, and Lu Yunting continued, "I have something I don't understand, could the divine doctor help me solve it?"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
"The Divine Doctor knew that the man had evil intentions, so why did he leave him with his medical skills when he expelled him from the sect? Did the Divine Doctor really want to expel him from the sect?"
The girl in green opened her mouth to retort, but was stopped in time by Doctor Gu.
Divine Doctor Gu said in a deep voice: "Young man, no one has ever dared to question me like this in Yaoling Valley."
"I am just confused, no offense meant."
"Whether you believe it or not, I did indeed cripple his hands."
Lu Yunting did not doubt the words of the ancient doctor. A reclusive master like him would not bother to lie.
"Now, only a divine doctor can cure that person's witchcraft. I hope the divine doctor can help."
Divine Doctor Gu put down the things in his hands and said in a calm voice: "If you want me to save people, you have to follow my rules."
"I wonder what the rules are?"
"You need to agree to my three conditions."
Lu Yunting bowed and said, "Godly doctor, please speak."
The ancient divine doctor clapped his hands and walked out from the medicine table, saying as he walked: "First, there is an ice pool in the back mountain, and there is an edelweiss at the bottom of the pool. You need to go down and pick it for me.
Second, there is a kind of green glass fruit on the cliffs of the back mountain, and you need to pick it for me.
Third, I think you, young man, are a perfect match for my granddaughter.
As long as you agree to marry into my Yaoling Valley, I will save whoever you want me to save!
I can also teach you all my medical skills!"
