“Xu Yatou never lies. She said you can still stand up, so just think about what you want to do and where you want to go after you stand up. Don’t worry about anything else.” Zi Sangyi reassured her from the side.
The old valley master nodded repeatedly, his hands unconsciously clenching. Just then, Xu Yuehuai returned and saw several elders gathered here. She was stunned for a moment, realizing that there weren't so many people when she left.
Seeing this, the Second Elder, as the representative, stepped forward to speak. He coughed lightly with his hand to his lips, and then said, "Everyone wants to learn, so that they can deal with the same problem in the future. This... it's not much, so it shouldn't bother you, right?"
The Second Elder never expected that he would be able to say such things to a junior one day. He spoke very awkwardly, his eyes darting around.
Xu Yuehuai looked at the old valley master and said, "If the old valley master doesn't mind, then I naturally have no problem."
Everyone was secretly delighted; this was tantamount to a tacit agreement to the matter!
Xu Yuehuai didn't delay. After pushing the old valley master into the guest room, he gently placed him on the bed. At this time, Linghu Zhou was in another room. He had been traveling a long way back and was already seriously injured. He needed to rest well to recover.
The old valley master lay on the bed, his heart pounding with tension. Xu Yuehuai lifted his trouser leg, and when his scarred legs were revealed, everyone present gasped. Even though they had lived for so many years, they had never seen such a scene before.
The initial laughter and joking around them disappeared. When everyone first heard that Xu Yuehuai had such skills, they all came with the intention of seeing if they could learn such techniques. But when they actually stood there and saw with their own eyes how badly those legs had been tortured, everyone lost the desire to watch the show.
On those legs, there wasn't much flesh left that was still intact. Xu Yuehuai took out a pill from her spatial storage and handed it to the old valley master. "Senior, the process might be very painful later. Take this first, and it will reduce the pain."
The old valley master nodded and ate the food. The moment he swallowed, his brows furrowed slightly, and his body reacted instantly. His legs, which had been aching slightly, began to feel no pain.
It was quite difficult for one person to do this, but fortunately there were a few laborers watching the show. Xu Yuehuai took out the powder again, but instead of sprinkling it directly on the surface, he took out a small knife and began to scrape away the scabbed and rotten flesh on the old valley master's leg layer by layer. The whole process was bloody and cruel, and several elders on the side couldn't bear to watch.
The excruciating pain was something Xu Yuehuai hadn't told him beforehand. Once you have preconceived notions about something, the fear and dread multiply.
The second elder turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, grimacing.
The old valley master felt the pain. The medicine could only temporarily reduce the pain, but no matter how much it reduced it, it would still cause pain as the pain intensified.
Perhaps because he had been tormented for so long, the old valley master had endured far more than others could imagine, and at this moment he did not utter a sound, enduring it all without complaint.
After dealing with the rotten and irregularly shaped flesh, the old valley master's legs were no longer a sight to behold. Several elders were disgusted by the scene, and the originally cramped room suddenly had much more space available, as the elders couldn't bear the sight and went outside to vomit.
Xu Yuehuai opened the prepared powder and sprinkled it on the blood. The moment the powder fell, it mixed with the blood, making the original color indistinguishable. Xu Yuehuai's hand was steady, and in a short while, the old valley master's legs were evenly covered with the powder. His forehead was covered with sweat, and he was biting his lip tightly.
"Get him a piece of gauze, so he doesn't bite his tongue." Xu Yuehuai's composure was unaffected; on the contrary, she became even calmer and more composed.
Zi Sangyi, who was watching from the side and heard this, quickly took a clean gauze from somewhere and neatly stuffed it into the old valley master's mouth.
The old valley master's eyes were bloodshot, and the medicinal powder could be clearly seen rapidly penetrating his flesh. He felt as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his legs from different places, a sensation that caused him unbearable pain. His hands were restrained early on.
Xu Yuehuai's knowledge of this method was accidental. When she first arrived at the second floor, she was eager to improve and then go to the first floor to find the answers to those questions. Perhaps it was true that what you want most is what God least wants to give you. She still hasn't been able to get through the ruins, let alone enter the first floor.
Fortunately, she devoted herself to studying her swordsmanship and alchemy. Alchemy and medicine have similarities, so she also studied them together. She had no shortage of materials or spirit stones; Qi Guze had given her a lot when he left last time.
In addition, the sect provided her with a lot of medicinal herbs and talismans, so she liked to study some strange methods, hoping to gain some insights from them. Fortunately, things went as planned, and she figured out many unexpected things and successfully used quite a few.
Xu Yuehuai's confidence level wasn't 100%, but it was definitely 90%.
A strange smell filled the air for a moment. No one could quite put their finger on what it was, but it felt strangely familiar. The Second Elder looked at Xu Yuehuai standing to the side and, seeing that she did nothing else, couldn't help but ask, "Is that all? You don't need to do anything else!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai turned to look at the Second Elder, "Yes, this is the first step. The first step only needs to be done to this extent. After an hour, the flesh on the senior's leg will start to grow. The process of the flesh growing will be very painful. In addition, the medicinal powder will penetrate into the bone to help heal the injured parts of the bone."
Everyone else was shocked. The Fifth Elder squeezed in and stepped forward, asking, "What exactly is this thing? Why is it so miraculous? I've never heard of anything having such an effect. How did you make it?"
The Fifth Elder stood there for a long time, wanting to ask many questions.
Xu Yuehuai did not hide anything, "This is something I developed myself. I've experimented with it before. The specific prescription is quite complicated. I'll write it down for you later."
When everyone learned that Xu Yuehuai had done it herself, they all gasped in astonishment. Her masterpiece, in terms of swordsmanship, was no less than her own creation of a top-level sword technique, something everyone longed for but could not obtain.
Inside the room were not only the main elders from the mountain peak, but also the steward elders, all of whom came to observe. Where there are many people, controversy is inevitable. "Won't this thing cause problems? Has anyone tried it on themselves?"
