Chapter 201: The person blocking the road
"It turns out that you want me to cure your wife's illness and drive away the poison. This is human nature and there is nothing wrong with it. But just now, Your Excellency said that Dao Ling Qing Cao is your ancestral spiritual grass. If you hand it over to me, wouldn't it violate the ancestral teachings? ?”
Ye Chunyang was quite surprised by the conditions put forward by the middle-aged man.
He has certainly heard about the Lu family in Beicheng. It seems to be a cultivating family in the northern boundary of Tian Chong Mountain. Although it is not as good as the second-rate sect, it is much stronger than the ordinary third-rate sect. With such power, if there is no alchemist, it will be impossible to tell anyone. People will believe it.
The middle-aged man in common clothes smiled bitterly and said: "Although the ancestral teachings cannot be violated, Lingqing grass is a dead thing after all. In my eyes, it is extremely less precious than my wife. We are deeply in love as husband and wife, let alone a mere Lingqing grass. Even if I risk my life, I, Lu Yezhou, will have no regrets."
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yezhou quietly, thinking about the truth or falsehood of his words.
If what this person said is true, the love between the couple until death is truly admirable.
But if it is false, what is this person’s purpose?
However, in the final analysis, this person is only at the tenth level of Qi Refining, which is not enough to threaten him, so Ye Chunyang intervened: "With the size of the Lu family, why worry about not having an alchemist? You only need to ask the family for help, why do you need to find me? This statement is self-contradictory!”
Lu Yezhou smiled bitterly to himself and said: "To be honest with you senior, in fact... this junior has long been an abandoned son of the Lu family. No matter how seriously ill my wife is, they will never help her again."
"You were expelled from the Lu family?" Ye Chunyang frowned and sneered: "In that case, how can you use Lingqing grass to invite me to take action? Are you just entertaining me from the beginning to the end?"
Hearing this, Lu Yezhou's face trembled and he said: "Senior has misunderstood. What I said is not a lie. As long as senior is willing to take action to heal my wife, I will try my best to get the Lingqingcao for senior."
"I never believe in words spoken."
Ye Chunyang sneered. There were contradictions and loopholes in this person's words. How could he believe it so easily?
Seeing Ye Chunyang's murderous intent as he spoke, Lu Yezhou panicked and thought about something quickly with his eyes flashing.
After a moment, he replied anxiously: "Senior, what Lu said is absolutely not false. The Lingqing grass is planted in the Lu family's Lingshan holy land. There are restrictions around it. Only the direct blood of the Lu family can lift it. , I am here, as long as I return to the Lu family, I can get the spiritual grass on behalf of my senior."
After saying this, his expression softened: "I hope that senior will take action to save my wife's life for the sake of Lu's sincerity. If senior has any doubts again, he can take Lu's life immediately. I will have no complaints."
Lu Yezhou's eyes were red, and he knelt down to plead as he spoke.
Ye Chunyang's heart moved, and he waved his hand to send the spiritual wind to lift him up.
This man's eyes are sincere and don't seem to be fake. Even if he deceives himself with Ling Qing Cao, his feelings for his wife should be true.
"Forget it, because of your feelings for Madam, I will let you go, but if you can't bring the Lingqing Grass, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Ye Chunyang sighed in his heart.
Humans are not like grass and trees, so how can one be ruthless? Lingqingcao aside, with his innocent heart, he would not refuse within his power.
Lu Yezhou's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had made some kind of decision. He nodded heavily and said, "Senior, please don't worry. Since I have made this promise, I will bring the Lingqing Grass for my senior no matter what."
"Very well, take me to see Madam. If there is anything I can do, I will do my best to treat Madam."
Ye Chunyang's face was expressionless, and he had the depth of an outsider.
Lu Yezhou was overjoyed and took out a flying sword to lead the way.
Ye Chunyang took a look and saw that the sword was of a low level, so he simply pulled it onto his golden mace and quickly rode the wind away.
…
An hour later.
Following Lu Yezhou's guidance, Ye Chunyang stopped outside a small bamboo forest. There was a wooden house built in it. Although the aura was weak, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, making it feel peaceful.
This place does not look like a place of cultivation, but more like a paradise in the world.
Falling from the sky, Lu Yezhou was secretly shocked.
I don’t know what level this senior has reached during the foundation building period. The escape technique is so exquisite. In the past, it would have taken at least several hours for him to go back and forth to Linyangfang alone. However, under this senior’s weapon control technique, it was actually shortened several times. .
At this time, Lu Yezhou looked at Ye Chunyang with even more awe.
"This is where my husband and I live in seclusion. Senior, please come with me."
Lu Yezhou bowed his head, opened the door and welcomed Ye Chunyang in.
Sandalwood lingered in the room, and smoke billowed from several medicinal herbs on the stove. After walking two steps, Ye Chunyang heard several coughs coming from the back room, and a woman came out.
"Lu Lang, are you back?"
The woman is in her thirties, with a wooden hairpin on her head. Although she is dressed in plain clothes, there is something delicate and enchanting between her eyebrows. She must have been a lady in the family.
Moreover, her cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but at the moment her cheeks were pale, her body was weak, and she seemed to be seriously ill.
Looking at Lu Yezhou again, he was also dressed in plain clothes and had a sloppy beard.
The couple does not look like spiritual cultivators, but more like farmers who work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
For some reason, Ye Chunyang felt inexplicably emotional when he saw this couple.
Looking back on my childhood, if my parents were still alive, they would probably be the same age as this couple!
"Madam is injured. How do you get out of bed? Sit down quickly."
Lu Yezhou quickly helped the woman sit down, his eyes full of love for her.
Looking at Ye Chunyang again, he said, "This is Senior Ye whom my husband invited. He is proficient in alchemy and the study of cauldrons and furnaces. With his help, my wife will have a chance to recover."
"So it's Senior Ye. I, your humble concubine Lu Qinshi, am here to greet you."
The woman was flattered and hurriedly stood up to salute.
Ye Chunyang was not an arrogant person. Besides, the couple had a deep affection for each other, which made him quite fond of them. He quickly replied with a smile: "Madam, there is no need to be polite. From what your husband said, you seem to have been seriously injured. You might as well tell me in detail so that I can analyze it and see how to treat you."
Lu Qinshi showed a happy expression, but as if she thought of something, her expression suddenly changed slightly, and she said: "Forgive me for saying too much. Senior, you are willing to come here for treatment. Did Mr. Lu promise you anything?"
After asking this question, before Ye Chunyang could answer, Lu Yezhou was stunned at first, and interrupted: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you, Madam. Your husband did promise you some benefits and promised you to do something, so you came here for treatment."
"What is it?" Lu Qinshi asked thoughtfully: "If what you need is related to your life, I am absolutely unwilling to treat this disease."
Ye Chunyang subconsciously wanted to tell him about the Lingqing grass, but saw Lu Yezhou hinting at him, obviously not letting him tell the truth.
After frowning, he said calmly: "Madam, don't worry. What I asked Daoist Lu to do is just a small matter. There is no need to worry about your life."
After hearing this, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
This surprised Ye Chunyang a little.
Lu Qin was worried about the safety of her husband, but Lu Yezhou didn't let her tell the truth. Could it be that there was another hidden reason for taking Lingqing grass?
Ye Chunyang frowned slightly, and saw the pleading in Lu Yezhou's eyes. He thought that the other party might have his own difficulties. He sighed and said no more.
"My wife was injured by the cold poison by her enemies several years ago. My cultivation is not enough to drive out the poison by herself. For many years, she can only suppress it with herbs. If the senior can drive out the poison for my wife, my husband and I will be grateful."
Lu Yezhou pleaded.
Ye Chunyang frowned and made a brief investigation on Lu Qin.
After a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Although the cold poison that your wife has contracted is quite deep, it is not a difficult problem for me. I will refine a furnace of detoxification pills when I return home. Your wife can take it once every seven days, and she will be cured within a few months."
The two were delighted to hear this.
"I wonder how long it will take for you to refine the pill?" Lu Yezhou asked with hope on his face.
"No more than a month."
Lu Yezhou was overjoyed and said, "That's perfect. It will take several days for me to do what I promised you. After it's done, my husband and I will welcome you in my humble home."
Ye Chunyang thought for a moment, took out two pills, and said, "This is Shouqing Pill. Madam, take it on time these days to temporarily slow down the spread of the cold poison. After I refine the detoxification pill, I will come to expel the poison for you."
Lu Qin was moved and bowed to thank her: "Senior, you are willing to help me. My husband and I can't repay you. If the cold poison of my humble concubine can be cured, we will definitely repay you for your kindness."
"Madam, you are too kind. I just did a little work. Besides, your husband has promised me to pay you. We are just equal transactions."
Ye Chunyang smiled and waved his hand.
It seems that the couple lived here to avoid the world. If he could help a pair of beautiful women with a wave of his hand, it would be a merit. In the future, when they break through and make progress, they will be less disturbed by demonic obstacles.
After giving a few more instructions, Ye Chunyang said goodbye to the two and flew away.
However, he did not return to his Chunyang Cave this time, but flew to the mountain gate of Huaxue Sect.
To refine the detoxification pill, a lot of medicinal materials are needed. Although there are no high-level spiritual herbs in the medicine field of Huaxue Sect, there are many medicinal herbs for refining this pill. Just go back and pick a few plants.
Such a benefit that comes without any effort is a waste.
Although the small bamboo forest where the Lu couple lives is remote, with Ye Chunyang's escape technique, he returned to the Huaxue Mountains in a few days.
He found that the sect was heavily guarded at this time, and the number of patrolling disciples increased several times more than before, as if they were on guard against something.
Ye Chunyang was surprised, but he never cared about the affairs of Huaxue Sect, so he didn't ask much about it. After a short stay, he was going back to the medicine field.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly met several figures in front of him and blocked him.
"Are you Ye Xiaobao?"
The first person was tall and strong, stepping on a magic weapon shaped like an iron flag, exuding an evil aura, and looking at Ye Chunyang with unfriendly eyes.
Ye Chunyang frowned, these people seemed to be here with bad intentions, and he didn't know what he had provoked in the sect, so he remained calm: "Yes, it's me."
The first person nodded, expressionless: "Very good, Senior Sister Zhu Jian wants to see you, and ordered us to wait here, so let's go."
This person seemed polite, but he hinted that everyone should surround him while speaking.
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows, these people were only between the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining, he didn't care at all, but Zhu Jian was said to be Yu Wanqing's personal maid, why did she suddenly come to him?
He immediately sneered: "No need to make such a scene, since Senior Sister Zhu Jian wants to see me, why not go with you?"
