Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Chapter 92 - Wenren Wu-Shuang in Trouble
Qing Shui knew that/it only depended on his own strength to make the Xiantian Golden Pellet was a fool's dream. It was even more formidable than relying on its own strength to break through. Some of the required materials came from demonic beasts at the Xiantian level. How could he obtain the necessary materials before he reached the Xiantian realm?
Furthermore, even if he was in Xiantian, how could it be so easy to hunt a Xiantian level demonic beast? Previously in Hundred Miles City, there were three humans at the peak of Houtian as well as a Xiantian level teacher who went hunting for the Xiantian Iron-Armor Demonic bear. In the end, only a Xiantian level master survived with half his life remaining. Not only did he survive, but his cultivation base was completely wasted. The other three at the peak of the Houtian Realm had died.
This ex-Xiantian master, was none other than Yu He's grandfather. It was precisely because her cultivation had crippled that/that Yu He became the bride of another family with a Xiantian level teacher. It was a pity that/that the groom had an unfortunate life, and he actually died three days before the wedding, not having the chance to enjoy a se*sual relationship with Yu He.
He knew the existence of the former Xiantian master from Yu He's mouth. Originally, there were several other businesses outside Hundred Miles City that were allied with the Yu Clan. But after the fall of the Xantian level ruler of the Yu Clan, the other powers immediately started devouring this small business for themselves. In the face of benefits, strength is the only security!
This incident touched Qing Shui's heart. In this cultivation-oriented world, strength was everything. If the Qing Clan had a Xiantian level master, not to mention the Qing Village, even if they wanted to share power within the Hundred Miles City, it was very easy to do so. They could only do as the Wenren sisters had done, before Wu-Shuang had broken through to the Xiantian realm, they enjoyed the protection of a Xiantian level teacher, he said, establish a place as their base and easily make money without fear of external threats.
The next day, Qing Shui prepared to go to the Night Fragrance Court. After all it had been some time since he last visited. Their initial agreement was for Qing Shui to visit the Night Fragrance Court once every two days, but due to various events, Qing Shui couldn't find the time to go there. Over time, Qing Shui began to feel warmth from going to that place. Every time he saw Wenren Wu-Shuang, he would smile from the bottom of his heart.
In this world of the nine continents, Qing Shui had almost no friends. After every interaction with Wenren Wu-Shuang, he felt closer and closer to her. In Hundred Miles City, there were only two places he frequented. One, was the Night Fragrance Court, and the second was the Yu He Inn.
As for Shi Qingzhuang, she had no contact with him since they returned to the city. However, he was always close to his heart. How he wants to see her again.
When he arrived at the court, he only saw Wenren Wu-Gou. She was still charming and flirtatious as usual. However, ever since Qing Shui mastered the Heavenly Vision Technique, he realized that/it was apart from a medical condition, he could also see other things. For example, fluctuations of the heart. Just like now, Qing Shui could tell that/it Wenren Wu-Gou was extremely frustrated and filled with worry, even though she looked very good on the surface.
’’ Where is Wu-Shuang? ’’ Qing Shui shamelessly mentions Wenren Wu-Shuang by his first name.
’’ He has something to do, and will not be able to practice swordplay with you these next few days. ’
”Is something wrong? Did something happen to Wu-Shuang? “” He knows that/that the two sisters have a close bond, so how is the source of frustration and worry in Wu-Gou's heart not related to Wu-Shuang?
Wenren Wu-Gou secretly considered Qing Shui, and after seeing Qing Shui's eyes filled with traces of panic, Wenren Wu-Gou sighed, ” Wu-Shuang was poisoned by a demonic beast, and the, and was currently on his way to the Heavenly River City to look for an alchemist to make an antidote for him. ”
”Toxing? With a demon beast? ” Qing Shui furrowed his brows. Considering Wenren Wu-Shuang's strength, he should not be affected by any of the poisons from ordinary animals.
The Golden-shaped Snake King. Qing Shui knew that/it was a Xiantian level demon snake. The size is very large, about 50m long by 1m wide. It had a head that looked circular, and it had black skin covered with diamond patterns across the intersection. The head and tail of the snake were further marked with gold rings, thus giving the snake its name.
It has a very powerful poison. The poison is able to numb the target's senses, and eventually cause heart failure. Qing Shui didn't know why, but he was currently captured with a feeling of bad premonition.
” Wu-Shuang went to Heavenly River City alone? ’
” True, don't worry. He had the medicine to control the poison within him for a month. As long as he could find an alchemist to make the Five Dragon Pellets for him within a month, he would definitely be fine. ” Wenren Wu-Shuang reassured him. It was as if she had found support to lean on witnessing how confused Qing Shui was.
Everyone experiences their moments of weakness. Qing Shui knew that/it was other than each other, Wenren Wu-Shuang and Wenren Wu-Gou had no other family or friends. Otherwise, how would they be willing to let the poisoned Wenren Wu-Shuang travel alone.
Qing Shui couldn't be said to be very proficient with his medicinal pill potions, but he still had knowledge of the Five Dragon Pellets. It was just that he had no way to concoct it now. The only thing he could design right now, was the Golden Ocean Abdominal Pain Medicine.
” Do you have to contact Wu-Shuang? ” Qing Shui furrowed his brows, he felt extremely helpless, just like a dirty rich man dying of hunger. He had no way of harnessing the wealth of information within his sea of consciousness as it was unlocked!
” He says that/that whether he succeeds or not in eliminating his poison, he will return in one month. ” Wenren Wu-Gou sighed, as if tension had formed a cloud of worry in the air.
’” Give me the destination address, I may have a method. I'm afraid Wu-Shuang might not be able to last for a month! ” Qing Shui recalled ever reading that/that if it was the poison of an ordinary Golden Ring Snake, there was no doubt that/it Xiantian level teachers would be able to suppress it for a month. However, for poison by the Gold-Turning Serpent King, even a Xiantian Class Master would not be able to last long against it. They may only be able to control the spread of toxins for about half a month to a 20-day period. ’
As the saying goes, in dire medical situations, all doctors (even fake ones) are welcome. Wenren Wu-Gou revealed Wu-Shuang's purpose without hesitation. As long as one hung a hint of hope in front of him, he would take the opportunity and trust that person, no matter the consequences or the price he had to pay.
Qing Shui, when he saw that the panicked Wenren Wu-Gou gave him Wu-Shuang's aim without hesitation, he sighed in his heart, ” If I was someone with bad intentions, he said, Wenren Wu-Shuang will definitely face trouble! ’
Actually, Qing Shui was wrong. Wenren Wu-Gou had already seen all kinds of men from all walks of life. How could his sixth sense and judgment be inferior? He knew that/that even though Qing Shui was filled with lust, when there was something important that needed to be done, he was someone he could trust with his life.
