Chapter 555 Juan's Mental Breakdown [1st Update]
Just like those martial arts dramas that have been shown on TV many times, his lightness skill is unparalleled, like a gust of wind sweeping across the lake.
This is also a way of applying internal strength in ancient martial arts.
Once one's ancient martial arts cultivation reaches fifty years or more, one can begin to practice such techniques.
Using internal strength, one can stand and walk on objects that cannot bear weight.
Even a single leaf can do.
The icy mist on the lake dissipated at that moment, making the giant snake's shape even clearer.
The sun was bright in the sky, but the sunlight could not penetrate the thick clouds, and the temperature had dropped below zero.
Juan, however, could no longer see.
The water snake's venom had seeped through his skin and flesh, invading his nerves, causing temporary hearing loss not only in his eyes but also in his ears.
His right arm, in particular, which was directly corroded by the venom, caused him to writhe in pain on the ground.
The other two Norton University students saw it, but their legs were completely immobile, and their brains had stopped functioning.
What has happened today has completely exceeded their capacity to bear it.
On the lake, Ying Zijing turned her head: "Xiao Lan."
Wen Tinglan understood.
His senior put it aside, walked over, raised his hand, and knocked both of them unconscious.
The water snake didn't move either; having lived for so long, it must have developed a considerable level of intelligence.
He could naturally feel the pressure coming from the girl.
It hissed and flicked its tongue, still observing.
"I'm here, I'm here!" A panting voice rang out. "So, why am I pushing this cart up the mountain?"
I almost died on the road in May.
She was just a fortune teller, and her health was already weak; this was simply torturing her.
Wen Tinglan, however, understood very well.
He loaded his senior and two Norton University students into the car, then pushed it down the mountain.
As for Juan, he ignored him.
Although he didn't have many contacts, he was very vigilant from a young age.
Juan wanted to harm him, and now he's reaping what he sowed.
He wasn't that kind; he wanted to save Juan.
But he wouldn't intentionally harm anyone.
Just pretend you can't see it.
In May, she wiped away her sweat and slowly turned her head.
When she came into contact with the enormous snake head, she was immediately shocked: "Holy crap!"
This...this snake is huge!
This is worth several Bai Suzhens.
"Miss, oh, Miss," Fifth Month's legs went weak, "Can I...can I just watch the show from the sidelines?"
Ying Zijing held nine golden needles in her hand, her eyelashes slightly lowered: "You were just a tool to begin with."
Even a martial artist with sixty years of cultivation couldn't gain the slightest advantage against this water snake.
Her ancient martial arts cultivation has gradually recovered to seventy-three years, and she can now handle things on her own.
May: "..."
No, she's just a salted fish.
After observing for a long time, the water snake finally moved its enormous body.
It let out a chilling hiss, its long tail whipping up and stirring up the mad wolves.
Ying Zijin remained standing motionless on the water, and at that moment, the nine golden needles in her hand were instantly released.
With immense internal energy channeled into them, these nine golden needles are comparable to sharp swords.
It pierced through the water snake's scales in an instant and disappeared into its flesh and bones.
A sharp pain shot through the water snake, which hissed again.
However, under the influence of internal energy, the nine golden needles flowed through its body, causing it so much pain that it was completely unable to move.
As the gold needles were completely corroded by the venom, several loud "bangs" were heard, and clusters of blood splattered from the water snake's body.
Before it could even spit out its last drop of venom, its massive body collapsed, crashing heavily into the water and sinking rapidly.
Fifth Month, Dumbfounded: "That's it?"
Those fortune tellers even came up in teams?!
“It’s not ‘just’.” Ying Zijing half-squatted on the ground, wiping away sweat, her face slightly pale. “You can swim?”
It seems like they didn't really fight, but she had already used up four-fifths of her internal energy, almost to the point of exhaustion.
This water snake is indeed dangerous.
It also cost her nine gold needles.
That's a huge sum of money.
"Yes, yes, yes." Fifth Month rolled up her sleeves. "There's some treasure down there, right? Hehehe, I'll bring it all out."
Ying Zijin: "..."
Half an hour later, Wu Yue swam up from the bottom of the lake carrying a bag of things.
There are several rare medicinal herbs with extremely cold properties, and a few pieces of ore.
This is a true natural treasure; it cannot be cultivated artificially.
"Great stuff, great stuff!" Fifth Month was not only not tired, but also very excited. Suddenly she touched her head and said, "Oh my, Miss, you don't know, I saw a lot of bones when I swam down."
Ying Zijing nodded slightly: "It must be that someone accidentally wandered in here and fell down."
Before the water snake died, this lake was completely unsuitable for swimming.
"To rid the people of a scourge," said May. "Miss, your blessings have increased now."
"Someone's coming." Ying Zijing's ears twitched, and her eyes narrowed slightly. "Let's go."
In May, he stepped forward to help her up, and the two of them went down another path.
No sooner had they left than the group consisting of fortune tellers, martial artists, and several ancient healers arrived.
Seeing this horrific scene, the leading old man gasped, "Too late, they're already dead."
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Master Wen, there's someone here!"
The old man immediately looked over.
Juan lay on the grass, his lips blue and his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Westerners?" The old man frowned. "It's possible that tourists wandered in by mistake and disturbed this water snake."
"The water snake came out to harm people, which attracted the attention of that master, so she took action and killed the water snake."
As he spoke, he became solemn: "The master is indeed a role model for us all. You all need to learn more from him."
They are too far apart.
I could only catch a glimpse of the girl's back.
This immediately reminded the fortune tellers who had attended the exchange meeting on Jade Pine Mountain that day of the girl who had frozen Lou Wenhai with a wave of her hand.
They still haven't found out who it is.
This is a true master.
But now, she has killed such a large water snake. Doesn't that prove that she is not only good at divination, but also very strong in ancient martial arts?
The group exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
One of the martial arts practitioners in the group stepped forward and immediately tapped several points on Juan's body, sealing his vital points and heart meridian.
Another ancient doctor took out an antidote pill and fed it to Juan.
The bruises on his face had just faded slightly, but his body was still trembling.
"This water snake's venom isn't entirely fatal, because it doesn't like to eat dead things," the ancient doctor stroked his beard. "But it's very paralyzing. This kid's lucky; he's just mentally unstable."
"Unfortunately, my medical skills are not high enough to cure him. Miss Meng may be able to."
But how could the Meng family possibly treat outsiders so casually?
Since the water snake is dead, the treasures here must have been taken away with it.
What a wasted trip.
They still haven't been able to intercept that true master.
"Alright, let's take this Westerner to the hospital." The old man waved his hand. "Let's go."
**
On the other side.
Wen Tinglan was still waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the girl come down, weak and exhausted, his expression changed slightly: "Sister."
"I'm fine, I'm just exhausted." Ying Zijing shook her head slightly. "Let's wake up the senior first."
"I know how to do that." Fifth Month stepped forward and pinched the neck of the senior from Imperial University again.
The senior student jolted awake, looking bewildered: "Little brother, did you see a snake? It was huge!"
Wen Tinglan remained calm: "No, senior, you've been reading too much 'The Legend of the White Snake'."
The senior was even more confused: "Is...really?"
"There was a landslide just now, and you were knocked unconscious." Ying Zijing turned her head. "Go back to school as soon as possible."
Wen Tinglan also said, "Senior, let's go."
The senior student followed Wen Tinglan in a daze, still feeling that something was wrong.
After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that it made sense. How could there be such a big snake? It's not like I'm watching a TV show.
Fifth Month spoke up: "These two people?"
"Wake him up too."
The two students were awakened by the pain. When they saw the girl, they jumped up instantly: "You, you, you..."
"Behave yourself." Fifth Month pressed one hand down on each of them. "If I can't handle that snake, can't I handle you?"
Ying Zijing took out her phone and contacted Yu Xuesheng, who was somewhere on a mission; "Mr. Yu, please erase this memory of theirs."
Other hypnotists require face-to-face contact to erase memories.
But Yu Xuesheng didn't need it.
"Miss Ying, you're too kind." Yu Xuesheng looked up. "Leave it to me."
A few minutes later, the two students had forgotten what happened on the mountain, only remembering that they had gone up the mountain with Juan.
While they were still somewhat bewildered, they received a call from the hospital saying that Juan had suffered a mental breakdown, was hospitalized, and was now completely unconscious.
Both students' expressions changed, and they rushed to the hospital.
Whether this incident in Juan was intentional or accidental, the Hershel family is furious.
**
The matter was resolved smoothly.
In May, I have connections with the Fifth Family and can auction off those treasures.
Ying Zijin kept only the medicinal herbs she needed.
"Sister," Wen Tinglan said, still worried, "about Norton University..."
"Don't worry." Ying Zijin patted his shoulder. "If you need anything, ask the vice principal. He's reliable."
After all, Norton is truly a madman.
Wen Tinglan was unaware that the vice principal's body had been modified by alchemy and that he was an ancient relic who had lived for nearly three hundred years.
However, the vice-chancellor's authority is indeed very high at Norton University. When the president is not present, the vice-chancellor has absolute power.
However, 90% of the students and professors have never met the vice-principal.
Wen Tinglan shook her head and pursed her lips: "Sister, I was just worried about you. I'm fine. As for the Hershel family—"
Ying Zijing finished dressing and said casually, "Then let them never leave alive."
She paused for a moment, then said, "We have to film a show tomorrow, so just pretend you don't know anything."
Wen Tinglan nodded.
Ying Zijing went downstairs and got into Fu Yunshen's car.
"I had your new gold needles delivered to Elder Mu first." He turned his head. "Go and pick them up while you're at it."
Ying Zijin remained silent.
Fu Yunshen turned the steering wheel: "What are you thinking about?"
"We're calculating the money."
"..."
Little money-grubber.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the Mu family's old residence.
Mu Heqing had been waiting for a long time and took the initiative to come out to greet them.
"Old Mu, that's strange." Fu Yunshen got out of the car, looking lazy. "You didn't kick me out."
"I'd like to," Mu Heqing said irritably. "Since you love the house because of the owner, you can stay."
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow: "That's right, I'm valued because of my wife."
Mu Heqing choked, snorted, and walked inside.
Shameless
Outside the villa.
After Mu Cheng escorted Ying Zijin and Fu Yunshen inside, he came out and closed the door.
“Mr. Cheng,” a voice rang out, “Wait a moment.”
Mu Cheng was taken aback and looked up.
Upon seeing this, his expression changed: "Miss Meng, what brings you here?"
The rules of the Dream Family are very strict.
Without approval, direct descendants are absolutely forbidden from leaving the field of traditional medicine to treat others.
Especially Meng Qingxue, because her body was too weak.
The smog in the capital is severe, and Meng Qingxue's body cannot support her to be outdoors for too long.
Therefore, even Mu Heqing had to go to the ancient medical field by himself.
"Since you're already here," Meng Qingxue smiled slightly, "won't you invite me in for a seat?"
Mu Cheng hesitated for a moment: "Miss Meng, please."
The guard pushed the wheelchair inside.
"Master." Mu Chengxian went to the door and knocked. "Miss Meng has arrived."
In the living room, Mu Heqing frowned and glanced at Fu Yunshen first.
He didn't react much, he was acting as a human-shaped pillow for Ying Zijin, and was feeding her with his other hand.
Mu Heqing nodded and said, "Please come in."
Meng Qingxue entered in a wheelchair, coughing as her face grew even paler: "Elder Mu, please forgive my uninvited visit."
The guards brought her a heater.
It's already winter, and this temperature is very bad for Meng Qingxue's health.
"I don't mind," Mu Heqing said politely but distantly. "But if you have something to say, wouldn't it be better to just have someone from the ancient medical community pass on the message?"
“I am—” Meng Qingxue began, her gaze falling on the sofa.
Fu Yunshen's appearance hasn't changed much from a few years ago, but the boy has become a man.
It makes it even more charming.
Meng Qingxue was about to greet her.
The next second, her face turned deathly pale.
The synopsis and the first chapter clearly state that this book has a magical element.
Does reincarnation and ancient martial arts exist in reality?
The Empress Ying lived for a very long time; she was highly intelligent, so why couldn't she be powerful? She originally came from the world of spiritual cultivation.
If you think it's garbage and you can't stand it, then don't read it. Reading novels is for enjoyment, so don't force yourself. If you're upset, I'll be upset too.
Whatever subject I write about is none of your business, whether you feel sorry for the subject or point fingers. You can let your favorite author write a book; there's really no need for you to come here and comment.
