A golden light filled the wound, repelling the healing of the injury, as a long sword mark cut across the left chest where the heart was.
“Elder Jia, how is Seventh Night’s injury?” Xiao Qianxiu looked at Elder Jia, who was examining the wound, and asked nervously.
The man he called “Elder Jia” looked to be in his fifties, thin as a thin bamboo pole, with two twitching moustaches and a goatee growing under his chin, looking very unreliable.
But although this man’s appearance is not satisfactory, his medical skills are still solid. He was an elder of the Hundred Herb Pavilion and had received the true teachings of the previous Pavilion Master. Although he was not as skilled as the current Pavilion Master, Gui Ling Chang, he was still much better than ordinary physicians.
Xiao Qianxiu had asked him to come precisely to check on Xiao Qiye’s injuries.
“The injury is not serious, that Pure Yang Palace Master should only give a slight warning, otherwise this sword will come down and the heart will be destroyed, but ——”
Elder Jia stroked his goatee and frowned, “There is a sword qi attached to the injury, close to the heart, even only a fraction of a centimeter away from the heart veins, and the strength of the sword qi is far beyond the True Dan realm category, it is really difficult to deal with.”
“Elder Jia, you mean ——” Xiao Qianxiu’s eyebrows appeared happy, “The strength of this sword qi is far beyond the True Dan realm?
It seemed that his concern was not about the severity of Xiao Qiye’s injuries, but the strength of the sword qi.
“Exactly,” Elder Jia seemed to have not noticed Xiao Qianxiu’s dissimilarity as he nodded, “Without this sword qi, the injury would have been difficult, but it would not have been able to hold me back, but with the addition of this sword qi ——”
Elder Jia said with a wry smile, “Then even if the Pavilion Master strikes, he will have to use the Spiritual Hub Nine Ruins to ensure that nothing will go wrong ——”
“Good, let’s use the Nine Spiritual Hub Ruins,” Xiao Qianxiu said categorically, “Elder Jia, what your Pavilion Master said last time, Mister Xiao has agreed. In order to prevent the night from getting too long, please inform your Pavilion Master that the operation will start tonight.”
“Then, on behalf of my Court Master, I would like to thank Master Xiao for his righteous act.” Elder Jia said with an arching hand.
“For the act of public justice, it is partly due!” Xiao Qianxiu said in a righteous manner.
When Elder Jia received the reply, he was very anxious and immediately wanted to go back and inform the Pavilion Master. Xiao Qianxiu couldn’t wait for this and personally sent Elder Jia out.
As for the wounded Xiao Qiye ——
He was not seriously injured and could not die for a while, the plan was important, so Xiao Qianxiu did not care to pay more attention to it.
————————
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the long-awaited Hundred Herb Pavilion owner, Gui Ling Chang, asked eagerly, “How is it? Has Master Xiao Zhuang promised?”
“Your Highness,” Elder Jia was also so excited that his moustache trembled, “He has agreed.”
“Excellent!”
Hearing the desired answer, Gui Ling Chang turned to another person in the courtyard and said, “Elder Jiang, tonight that Qing Yu will be lured away by Xiao Qianxiu, at that time, please clean up that Xuan Zhen and wrest the Nine Ruins of the Spiritual Hub from his hands.”
The man called “Senior Jiang” was an old man with white hair, but his masculine body and hale spirit indicated that he was not yet old.
However, Gui Ling Chang, a master of the healing arts, could see the twilight underneath his majestic appearance.
He was reaching the end of his life span.
Jiang Shengchao, his real name, was not a local martial artist from the Central Plains, but from overseas. Jiang Shengchao had been overseas for many years and was known as the “Tide King of the Sea”, which was very famous back then.
Unfortunately, in ancient times, heroes are like beauties, but they are not allowed to see their heads in white. The maximum life span of the God-Realm is a thousand years, but those who can really live for a thousand years are the most powerful.
The average God-Realm person can live up to six or seven hundred years at most, and it is not uncommon for them to end their lives at five hundred.
Even the Haunted Tide Monarch cannot resist the erosion of time. Now Jiang Shengchao, who is over 600 years old, is reaching the end of his life span and coincides with the sweeping of the East China Sea by the Eastern Japanese.
The two sides hit it off immediately, as they were worried about how to get the nine spiritual pills back from Xuan Zhen. Jiang Shengchao got the Nine Ruins of the Spiritual Armature back for the Hundred Herb Pavilion, and the Hundred Herb Pavilion gave him an elixir of longevity.
However, the older one is in the world, the less courageous one is. Hearing of Qing Yu’s past battles, Jiang Shengchao, whose life expectancy was about to expire, said that he did not want to fight Qing Yu. If he were to accidentally injure his vitality during the fight, this 600-year-old Haunted Tide ruler might simply die.
It was for this reason that the Hundred Herb Pavilion had arrived six days ago, but had not even met Qing Yu and Xuan Zhen until now.
However, now the opportunity had come.
“Lord Gui, I will do what I promised you, just a junior, I can take care of her,” Jiang Shengchao said loudly, “just don’t forget what you promised me, Lord Gui.”
Isn’t Qing Yu a junior too? Why don’t I see you being so hard-headed?
He Ling Chang secretly rolled his eyes, but on the surface he patted his chest and said, “Please don’t worry, Elder Jiang, when the nine markets of the Spiritual Armature are in hand, the Divine Nong Hundred Herb Pill will be offered immediately.”
“And Elder Jia, thanks to your advice this time, you even went and contacted Master Xiao Zhuang. If the Nine Ruins of the Spiritual Hub can be retrieved, you should take the first credit!” Gui Ling Chang excitedly patted Elder Jia’s shoulder.
How come he had never discovered Elder Jia’s potential in this area before? He was so resourceful, it was a bit condescending to let him be in charge of selling pills to the outside world, he should be promoted to be a think tank.
“Hehehe ——” Elder Jia laughed, “A flash of light, a flash of light. It’s not worth mentioning! It’s not worth mentioning!”
The words were modest, but that smug moustache was on the verge of sticking up, there was no trace of modesty, and he was laughing like a big rat.
This comical look was presented to Qing Yu and Xuan Zhen through the image, causing Xuan Zhen to cover his mouth and laugh lightly.
Qing Yu gently waved his hand, dispersing the image and said with a smile, “The fish has taken the bait.”
On Xiao Qianxiu’s side, Elder Jia proposed a plan to join forces under the guise of He Ling Chang, the Lord of the Hundred Herb Pavilion. And on Gui Ling Chang’s side, he was again seeking an alliance in the name of Xiao Qianxiu. The union of the two forces was conspired by a small Elder Jia, allowing both sides to step into the trap together.
As for why Elder Jia did what he did, it was naturally because of Qing Yu’s tactics. The profound brainwashing kung fu wasn’t a vegetarian.
If the Godlike Realm was not easy to control, could it still not be helped by a single Elder Jia?
In just a few breaths of time, Elder Jia would become a puppet in Qing Yu’s hands.
“Next, let’s watch the prey enter the pit.” Qing Yu laughed.
