He took a step forward, closed the folding fan in his hand, and pointed lightly in the direction of Sang Yu. "Sir, have you been cured of the poison by this beautiful woman?"
Xia Mingxu nodded.
"That's right!" The man excitedly tapped his fan back and forth in his hands. "Do you know that the elixir this beautiful fairy fed you is a rare treasure in the world? Not only can it detoxify you, but it can also instantly improve your skills and elevate your tendons and meridians to a higher level."
The man suddenly opened his fan again and continued in a slow voice, "As for you, because you have no power and don't know how to manage your Qi, your meridians are in disarray and your Qi is leaking out."
Xia Mingxu was also frightened by the man's startled look and asked softly, "Then...what should we do?"
"That's easy." The man smiled at Sang Yu. "There's no need to trouble our fairy girl. Come here every day and I'll teach you luck and martial arts. Once you learn luck, you'll be able to control your inner Qi. Then you'll be able to control it freely, and the situation you described won't happen again."
"But... my father said my body is not suitable for martial arts."
"That was in the past. If you don't practice martial arts now, your Qi will probably become disordered, and then... you'll die suddenly, okay?"
With a "bang", Xia Mingxu suddenly knelt down in front of Sang Yu.
Both Sang Yu and the man were startled.
"What are you doing?" Sang Yu asked.
"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."
Sang Yu: ...
The man: ...
It turns out that what he was talking about for a long time was making clothes for others.
"I don't accept disciples, and I won't teach you..."
"How can you not accept a disciple? Master saved my life first, Xia Mingxu, and now Master is going to teach Mingxu the martial arts. How can I not become his disciple?"
After saying this, he kowtowed three times. "As the saying goes, my parents gave me life, and my master taught me. I, Xia Mingxu, swear today that I will respect my master, abide by the sect rules, and take my master's words as my own responsibility."
Sang Yu: ...
The man: ...
You don't have to.
You are forcing the issue.
Sang Yu looked at the man, and the man looked at Sang Yu. Their eyes met, and in the end, the man surrendered.
"You bastard, I was the one who taught you the technique, why did you want to take her as your master?"
"Master saved me, so naturally I have to take her as my master. As for the technique, since Master saved you, you naturally have to repay Master. Teaching me is equivalent to helping Master share his worries."
The man: ...
It sounds particularly unreasonable, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Xia Mingxu had observed the man as early as when he appeared and knew that Sang Yu must have met the man before, but they were not familiar with each other. From the man's attitude and the questions he had just asked him, he could guess that the man might have been saved by Sang Yu as well.
Sang Yu was also helpless. Not only did she not know the technique, but she also wanted to learn it. Why not...
"Since you're here, why don't you teach me as well? Just consider it as a small part of your repayment for saving your life!"
The man nearly fell down after hearing this, and he regretted saying too much. But since things had come to this point, there was nothing he could do but nod in agreement.
Seeing that the matter was finalized, Xia Mingxu said again, "Master, it's getting late. Let's go back first! When I come back tomorrow, I will go back home and tell my parents that I will repay my life-saving grace and this gift of apprenticeship."
Sang Yu quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't do that. I like quiet and peace, and especially don't like being disturbed." She paused, "As for the apprenticeship gift... just bring it yourself, and don't disturb your parents."
"Okay, I'll follow Master's instructions."
Sang Yu, who inexplicably gained a new apprentice: ...
Because the daytime hours were too tight and there were too many idle people in the village, Sang Yu decided to practice on a nearby mountain, and the three of them would practice on time every night.
Sang Yu also learned that the man in purple was called Yang Mian. The reason he left last time was because he was being hunted and was afraid that Sang Yu would be implicated. Moreover, he had something very important to do at that time, so he left without saying goodbye.
"So no one is chasing you now?" Sang Yu asked.
"Yes, I have!"
Sang Yu was startled, and then she heard Yang Mian continue, "But don't worry, you won't be implicated this time, because this is the safest place for you."
Sang Yu didn't understand and wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Xia Mingxu. She didn't know how to start asking again. She thought he must have said it casually, so Sang Yu just let him go.
Moreover, she always felt that Yang Mian might have other purposes this time. Since she didn't know the situation, it would be better to wait and see.
Perhaps because of her extraordinary talent, Sang Yu's martial arts skills improved rapidly. Sometimes Yang Mian only needed to say a few words, and she would quickly master it and integrate it into her mind, and would knock Yang Mian down accidentally.
He was so angry that he was making a fuss, but he could do nothing. Gradually, he found that he could not beat Sang Yu.
Because Sang Yu's internal energy was more abundant than he had imagined. Before, she just didn't know how to mix it. But now that she has mastered the mental method, everything is no longer a problem!
Because of this, Yang Mian was depressed for several days, but when he thought that Sang Yu could even antidote the fatal poison, he must be different from ordinary people, so he felt relieved. However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Sang Yu became more and more suspicious.
Not only that, Sang Yu's strength also became enormous. A stone weighing over a hundred pounds was as light as a feather to her, and she could hear the surrounding sounds within a hundred meters as long as she wanted to.
Perhaps because of her drop of blood, Xia Mingxu also made rapid progress. Although he was not as good as Sang Yu, he was more than capable of dealing with a few ordinary masters.
Not only that, Sang Yu's prescription medicines sold better and better because of their low price and convenience. They soon became famous in Qilai County. Sang Yu immediately rented a store and gave it a resounding name, "Ji Shi Pharmacy."
Because of the good effect, the pharmacy's business was surprisingly good. Sang Yu not only bought out all the medicinal herbs in the town, but also all the medicinal herbs nearby. Even the medicinal herbs on the mountain were picked up cleanly. When the villagers saw Sang Yu purchasing so many medicinal herbs, they asked Sang Yu and found out that he had actually started to grow medicinal herbs.
Sang Yu was an expert and he taught everyone the planting methods. He was praised by the whole village for a while, and even people from the neighboring village came to ask for advice.
Sang Yu answered every question, no matter how big or small, and his reputation grew.
Before he knew it, a month had passed, but Yu Zhiheng still hadn't returned.
However, the puppy who used to ask for meat often comes. Sang Yu will throw some food to him from time to time, and it will stand at the door to help Sang Yu guard the door.
But Sang Yu found it increasingly difficult to sleep, fearing that Yu Zhiheng might have encountered some accident. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep alone.
