Visible to the naked eye, the brown line on the bear's back seemed to come alive, and the small bulging ball under the neck was squirming.
It's like waking up from a deep sleep.
As soon as Luo Xing raised his hand, a silver light flashed on his hand, and he pierced the needle with one needle. It was really fast, hard, and accurate.
That "blood centipede" probably wouldn't have thought of such a danger. Luo Xing's silver needle had some "mafei powder" on it, which has a certain anesthetic effect.
Just as the blood centipede was about to struggle, the effect of the numbing powder took effect, and then three more needles were inserted, targeting other parts respectively. Then Luo Xing directly made a small incision on the back of the neck with a knife.
Then he took out a pair of tweezers, clamped the head of the "blood centipede", and slowly pulled out the blood centipede.
Xiong Er on the side was frightened when he saw it.
What is this operation?
Luo Xing threw the foot-long centipede into the bamboo tube he had prepared long ago and covered it with a wooden plug.
"Little thing, you are still a little young when you fight with me." Luo Xing smiled proudly, and now all the flowers were saved.
"Xiong Er, it's your turn!" Luo Xing wiped the wound on the back of Xiong Da's neck and sprinkled some powder. Then he looked at Xiong Er who was lying on the side and had not yet had an attack. He smiled, revealing a pair of strong white teeth.
Xiong Er instantly trembled with fear. This young master seemed to be much scarier than Yang Yingchun.
Although the two of them were poisoned by Yang Yingchun's "blood centipede" at the same time, the attack times were inconsistent, which had something to do with their physical constitutions. They were one after the other, and the difference was less than a cup of tea.
Luo Xing followed the law and took out another "blood centipede" from Xiong Er's body, and then checked their wrists. Sure enough, the symptoms disappeared.
The two brothers suddenly felt extremely relaxed. They knelt down in front of Luo Xing and burst into tears of gratitude. They vowed to follow Luo Xing forever from now on without any second thoughts.
"You don't have to be like this. Get up. I'll take these two blood centipedes and deal with them. You don't need to take that medicine anymore," Luo Xing said.
"Yes, sir."
"Rest, you haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time." Luo Xing ordered. With these two things in his body, the mental pressure can be imagined. Moreover, these two things need to suck their spinal cords from time to time.
To maintain themselves, if things go on like this, their bodies will also suffer from problems, and it will be irreversible.
Fortunately, it does not take long, recovery is much easier, and the impact is not too great.
It was also the luck of these two brothers to meet themselves.
…
These two blood centipedes are good things, but it would be a waste to dispose of them like this. The best way is to use them as medicine, or brew them into wine to make medicinal wine to treat rheumatic bone disease, which should be good.
Or go to the bar!
There was liquor at home, so Luo Xing thought of it. He took a large pot of liquor and put two blood centipedes directly into the liquor. After sealing it, he found a sealed container, put the liquor in and locked it.
, then fill with wax.
Then the "Blood Centipede" wine was sent to the cold spring space under the dry well for storage. It was the most suitable place to serve as a wine cellar, but the wine stored here was not accessible to ordinary people.
After finishing all this, Luo Xing went to rest.
…
Early the next morning, when I returned to Nanya Yingmao, the first thing I did was to go to the black prison to check on Zuo Xiaochan.
Zuo Xiaochan, who had completed three steaming sessions, looked pretty good. Her old state had improved. It turned out that she had aged thirty years all of a sudden.
Now it's gone back ten years.
Originally nearly sixty years old, he looked like he was in his forties at most. Although martial arts training can't keep his appearance, it can ensure that his body is in an active state.
Therefore, as long as people who practice martial arts don't blindly overdraw, their physical condition is basically much better than those who don't practice martial arts.
Today's Zuo Xiaochan is not much different from his actual age.
The overbearing power of the "Jue Xin" poison is really powerful, but without Luo Xing, Zuo Xiaochan might not be in this state yet.
"How's it going? How much recovery?"
"A little more than 30%, less than 40%." Zuo Xiaochan, who had recovered her athletic skills, opened her eyes and said slowly.
"What about realm?"
"The realm dropped by two, and it is now the third level."
"That's not bad. Is there any chance of recovery?" Luo Xing nodded, his level dropped, but after all, he had reached it before, and the insights from cultivation are still there.
Zuo Xiaochan sighed. The road to recovery is long. With his current physical condition, he cannot compare with young people.
If he were twenty years younger, he was confident that he could recover his cultivation within five years, but it would be impossible to advance to the extraordinary level.
Of course, with his previous state of cultivation, there was not much hope for transcendence, but now there was no need to consider it at all.
"You are lucky to have met me. Others may not even have a chance to save you."
"Then you just arrested me?" Zuo Xiaochan still felt resentful.
"You sneaked into my house secretly and destroyed my house. If I don't catch you and demand compensation from you, can't I let you go?"
"If you want compensation, you won't tell me. Why do you want to lock me here? Is it because you have another purpose?"
"Even if I have other motives, it was you who made the mistake first, and we weren't the ones who took the initiative to arrest you in Baicao Pavilion?" Luo Xing retorted.
Zuo Xiaochan was speechless.
At the end of the day, my skills are still inferior to others. I was caught by mistake and became a piece of meat on someone else's chopping board. What else can I say?
"Then what do you want to do with me now?"
"You stay here for a few days and don't think about escaping. Although the crime you committed is not serious, once you escape from prison, it will be a different matter. With your current cultivation, where can you escape to?"
Luo Xing said, "Also, if Yaowang Valley knew that you were already a semi-wasted person, would it still give you the status and treatment it had before?"
"Yaowang Valley treats me well."
"Then you are a first-grade grand master, and it will be the same if you change a first-grade grand master to join Yaowang Valley." Luo Xing said, "You have been in Yaowang Valley for many years, and you know best how realistic they are."
"I can leave Yaowang Valley."
"You know a lot of secrets in Yaowang Valley, do you think they will let you go easily?"
"At worst, I'll just live in seclusion in Yaowang Valley. As long as I don't betray Yaowang Valley, the salary won't matter. After so many years, there's hard work without credit, right?"
"Indeed, you ended up like this because you worked for Yaowang Valley. If Yaowang Valley treats you too harshly, what will the other first-grade grandmasters who work hard for Yaowang Valley think? If Yaowang Valley is not short-sighted, it should
I will give you a good pension for your retirement." Luo Xing nodded, "Then let's talk about our compensation. Anyway, you can't tell me the secret of Yaowang Valley, and you won't turn your back on the master, right?
?”
"How much compensation do you want?"
"You damaged my house, plus I paid for you to cure the 'Jue Xin' Powder poison, and the mental damage fee. I'll give you fifty thousand taels of gold. It's not much, right?"
"Fifty thousand taels of gold, why don't you go and grab it!" Zuo Xiaochan shouted.
"Isn't your grand master's life worth fifty thousand taels? Besides, you have been in Yaowang Valley for so many years, and you don't even have this little savings. Is it possible that Yaowang Valley still needs you for the elixir resources you use for cultivation?
Can’t you buy it with money?”
"Of course it costs money, but it's only half of the market price." Zuo Xiaochan said.
"Then how much is your annual salary?"
"It's about 200,000 taels, and there is some additional income. The average is about 300,000 taels per year."
It's quite a lot. If you put this income in a small county, you can definitely be called the richest man.
"Then do you know how much I spend every year? I'm not the only one, I also have my family, and they all rely on me?"
On the contrary, if a great master wants to support a large family, then the income is really not high. If the children at home are still practicing martial arts and there are no other sources of income, the money is really not much.
"How many do you have?"
"I can have up to 350,000 to 50,000 taels of silver left every year, which I reserve for emergencies. There are also several thousand ghost coins in the ghost market's identity card, and the total does not add up to 50,000 taels of gold." Zuo Xiaochan.
said.
Luo Xing knew that it was impossible for Zuo Xiaochan to tell the truth. Under such circumstances, no one could honestly tell anyone how much money he had, even to outsiders.
"I don't want ghost coins from the ghost market. It's troublesome to deliver them, and I have to pay taxes to the ghost market. I just want a banknote, thirty thousand taels of gold, and I can convert it into silver." Luo Xing said, he didn't want Zuo Xiaochan to continue.
He is staying in Nanya Black Prison. He was poisoned this time just to destroy Zuo Xiaochan. If he knew that Zuo Xiaochan could not be destroyed and was killed again, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
"You have confiscated all my belongings, which should be worth several thousand taels. Can I write you an IOU for the rest?"
"No, just write a letter to Sun Donglin and ask him to send it over."
"Aren't you afraid of becoming enemies with Yaowanggu?"
"Afraid, but it's useless to be afraid, unless I kill you from the beginning and then dispose of your body. No one is alive or dead in Yaowang Valley. I can only doubt it. But based on my understanding of Yaowang Valley, even if
I did it cleanly and didn't leave him any clues. They would still doubt me, not to mention that Yaowanggu had secretly spread rumors to cause trouble before. This feud has been settled. If I hadn't had Nanya in charge
Backstage, you have already attacked me, haven't you?"
"Your medical skills are amazing even in Yaowang Valley. Yaowang Valley will not let you go." Zuo Xiaochan said after a moment of silence.
"If it's not for my use, then destroy it so that he doesn't become a future opponent, right?" Luo Xing said.
"Yes, Yaowang Valley has always done this in order to ensure its absolute authority in this field." Zuo Xiaochan said.
"Did everything succeed?"
"That's pretty much it. Anyway, in the field of elixirs, Yaowang Valley is the dominant force, and almost no one can challenge it."
"I have no intention of challenging his position. Besides, I don't have much interest in elixirs and I don't have much research on them, so just don't mess with me. But I'm not afraid of trouble. If I want to overturn the table, I'll just look at the elixirs."
Can Wang Gu bear it?" Luo Xing said.
"Do you want me to deliver a message to the top management of Medicine King Valley?"
"That's right. After all, I live my life smoothly and am troubled every day. No one likes me."
"The saint was kidnapped by you, right?"
"No." Luo Xing denied directly without the slightest hesitation. Lying is something that cannot be considered. The other party is not a young boy who has just come out of the world and is not easy to deceive.
"Who is that person who captured me with one move?"
"My master Meng Yi."
"He, his martial arts has recovered?" Zuo Xiaochan was shocked. This news was so top-secret that Luo Xing told him directly.
"Yes, it has been thirty years. Is it surprising that my master has resumed martial arts?" Luo Xing asked.
"It's not surprising. I should have thought of it a long time ago. It should be him who appeared in Baicao Pavilion that night, right?"
"You don't need to trick me. My master has resumed his martial arts, but he is unable to save the saint who was poisoned by the 'heart-corroding' palm. What is he doing in Baicao Pavilion?" Luo Xing asked in return.
"Your master can't do it, but you can. You can cure the poison of my 'Jue Xin Powder', so the poison of 'Heart Corroding Palm' shouldn't be difficult for you?"
"I'm not a spiritual god. I'm just using you as an experiment to cure the poison of Jue Xin San. Anyway, the worst result is that it can't be cured and it won't get much worse. What do you think?"
He smiled happily.
"Experiment on me?"
"It's not easy to meet a person who has been poisoned by 'Jue Xin Powder'. Where can I find such an experimental product?"
"But you still succeeded?"
"It's just lucky. If you knew the medicine I gave you, you would know whether I was experimenting on you." Luo Xing said, "Don't keep staring at my master. He is also worried about the safety of the saint and even doubts it.
It was you who hid his daughter on purpose. If Aunt Xue hadn't stopped her, he would have gone to Baicao Pavilion long ago."
"What?" Zuo Xiaochan was greatly surprised by this explanation, but it made some sense.
