Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 243
Chapter 243: Wu Nanshan’s Request
Medicine King Valley, Wu Nanshan’s residence.
Gu Xi and the other two sat side by side. Opposite them, Wu Nanshan personally poured tea for the few of them.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley personally served them. If it were to be spread out, it would probably shock the jaws of outsiders.
“I didn’t expect that at such a young age, young friend, your skill in refining medicine is truly unparalleled,” Wu Nanshan said with a smile, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally looking at Little Nine across from him.
It was not because of Little Nine’s peerless appearance, but because her realm made it difficult for Wu Nanshan to see through her in the slightest.
Among the three people, other than Fang Qinyu, whose cultivation was still considered normal, Gu Xi appeared to have no cultivation at all on the surface. However, he possessed peerless refining techniques. Little Nine was mysterious and unfathomable, and even with Wu Nanshan’s current Saint stage, he could faintly sense a trace of danger.
This could not help but make Wu Nanshan feel even more amazed at Gu Xi’s identity.
“May I know where young friend learned from?” Wu Nanshan opened his mouth again and his gaze returned to Gu Xi.
“It’s not worth mentioning.”
Gu Xi took a sip of the tea in front of her and shook his head.
“How can it be not worth mentioning if you can perfectly extract the essence of the Octagonal Mystical Spirit Grass?”
Wu Nanshan said with a bitter smile, but he did not continue to ask, “Are you here for something important?”
“Indeed.” Gu Xi nodded and continued, “It was Tower Master Fang of Moyu Tower who recommended us to come here. I hope that Elder Wu can treat my injuries.”
Hearing this, Wu Nanshan suddenly smiled. “So you guys are the ones that Fang Qingshan mentioned to me a few days ago. Let me take a look at your injuries first.”
Having said that, a trace of extremely weak spiritual power pervaded Wu Nanshan’s body and slowly swept toward Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was also extremely cooperative and did not have the slightest intention to resist.
With Little Nine present, it was likely that no one in the entire Medicine King Valley would be able to touch him.
Moreover, he had lost all of his cultivation. Even if he had the intention to resist, it would be useless.
As strands of spiritual power entered Gu Xi’s forehead, Gu Xi only felt a cool sensation in his mind before it disappeared.
On the other hand, Wu Nanshan’s expression gradually became grave.
“What a serious injury. I wonder how Young Friend got injured?” after a brief inspection, Wu Nanshan asked with a frown.
“Does elder Wu have a way to treat it?”
Gu Xi smiled slightly and did not explain.
He could not possibly say that she was injured when he was transported over from the spatial turbulence, right?
Seeing that Gu Xi was unwilling to say more, Wu Nanshan similarly did not ask further. After pondering for a moment, he continued, “Your injuries are quite serious. If it were any other ordinary person, they would have already died. Now that you have come to my Medicine King Valley, it can be considered a lucky hit.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xi’s eyes could not help but light up.
There’s hope!
However, Wu Nanshan’s words immediately extinguished his hope.
“If you want to treat it, I’m afraid you’ll need several kinds of precious spirit herbs. However, my Medicine Valley currently lacks the most important spirit herb,” Wu Nanshan sighed slightly and said.
“What kind of spirit herb?” Gu Xi hurriedly asked.
“Snowfall Fungus.”
Hearing this, Gu Xi frowned and pondered for a moment. He had never heard of this spirit herb before.
“Is it impossible to treat it without this spirit herb?” Fang Qinyu could not help but ask.
“It is possible, but if it’s like this, its efficacy will be greatly reduced.”
“With the spirit herbs that our Medicine King Valley currently has, it’s enough to completely restore your meridians and Dantian and restore a certain level of cultivation. However, if you want to completely restore to your previous cultivation stage, you must have Snowfall Fungus,” Wu Nanshan explained patiently.
“Then, without the Snowfall Fungus, how many stages can I restore?” Hope appeared on Gu Xi’s face again, and he hurriedly asked.
As long as he could restore his cultivation stage, no matter how many stages, at least this was a good start!
It was better than being an ordinary person who had no strength at all!
Wu Nanshan shook his head. “I can’t be sure how many stages can I restore. It can only depend on luck.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Edler Wu. As long as you can completely repair my meridians, I’ll definitely remember this great favor. If you need any help in the future, just let me know.”
Gu Xi smiled. He was already somewhat impatient in his heart.
Although he did not know exactly which kinds of spirit herbs were needed, he thought that they must be very valuable. He would owe this old man a considerable favor.
However, in order to recover his cultivation base, what was a small favor?
“Speaking of helping, this old man does have a favor to ask of you,” Elder Wu said with a smile.
Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue.
“I hope that you can join our Medicine King Valley.”
After a while, Wu Nanshan said seriously.
“Well…”
Gu Xi did not know how to answer for a moment.
After all, he would return to the Eastern Continent after his cultivation base recovered.
“It’s just a title. Moreover, it’s good for you to join my Medicine King Valley.”
“How do you know?”
“It’s a coincidence. The Spirit-chasing Competition will begin in seven days. The champion prize of that competition is the Snowfall Fungus that I mentioned earlier.”
“Our Medicine King Valley happens to have a few spots for the competition.”
“As long as you agree to join our Medicine King Valley, I will give you a spot for the competition. By then, as long as you can win the championship and get the Snowfall Fungus, your cultivation will completely recover to the cultivation stage before your injury.”
Hearing this, Gu Xi’s heart was extremely excited.
“What exactly is this so-called Spirit-chasing Competition?” Gu Xi suppressed his excitement and asked.
Wu Nanshan chuckled and explained, “The Spirit-chasing Competition is a competition organized by the Great Luo Palace. Every time the competition is held, all the sects and powers that are qualified to participate in the competition will send their most elite disciples to participate. As long as they can obtain a good ranking in the competition, their sects will be famous throughout the entire continent. Other than the rewards of the competition itself, the rest of the benefits are self-evident.”
“You also know that the disciples of my Medicine King Valley are focused on refining medicine. There are very few disciples who are proficient in battle. Therefore, my Medicine King Valley’s ranking has always been at the bottom of the competition. Therefore, I would like to invite you to name yourself as part of the Medicine King Valley and contribute in the competition. At the same time, you can also obtain the Snowfall Fungus for yourself and recover your cultivation base.”
Gu Xi pondered for a moment and then nodded. “Since Elder Wu has said so, and I’m determined to get this Snowfall Fungus, then this so-called Spirit-chasing Competition, I think I must go and give it a try.”
Hearing this, Wu Nanshan could not help but reveal a happy expression.
Although he was not clear about Gu Xi’s strength, his intuition told him that this seemingly ordinary man in front of him would bring him a huge surprise!
