Of course, Xu Junhe was granted permission by Su Lingxiu to use the prescription as a lure to persuade Tianbao Pavilion to sell on behalf of Chang Qing Pavilion, helping to establish its reputation.
After all, the prescription is of great importance; if it couldn’t be guaranteed foolproof, Xu Junhe would hardly use it as a bargaining chip.
“Using Tianbao Pavilion as the channel to accumulate rapidly, as soon as Tianbao Pavilion reacts, we can start negotiating. Chang Qing Pavilion will have the confidence then. As for overpowering Chang Qing Pavilion with strength…”
Li Xuan shook his head. Xu Yan was on the verge of breaking through to the Tongxuan Realm. No matter how powerful Tianbao Pavilion was, what could they possibly do?
Strength is the key.
“Your disciple Xu Yan, has killed a peak Great Grandmaster with three strikes of his sword, your Mountain-River Sword Dao is complete.”
Suddenly, a golden light appeared.
The feedback from the Golden Finger had arrived.
Li Xuan revealed a smile. Xu Yan was as violent as ever, starting to kill peak Great Grandmasters.
“Your disciple Meng Chong, has successively killed three Great Grandmasters, your understanding of the Dao of the Sword has elevated, and the experience of the God-Killing Sword Technique has increased.”
Meng Chong had also started killing Great Grandmasters.
All of these were within Li Xuan’s expectations.
“Indeed, having disciples making a name for themselves in the Martial Arts world is the key to rapid advancement in strength.”
Li Xuan sighed inwardly.
A few days later, Xu Yan and Meng Chong came back.
Along with them was Meng Shushu, a Spiritual Medicine Scout.
However, upon seeing Zhou Ying, Meng Shushu was immediately flabbergasted.
“You are… that girl?”
Surprised, Zhou Ying frowned at Meng Shushu, feeling like she recognized him somehow.
“You know her?”
Meng Chong asked in surprise.
Meng Shushu gravely explained, “She is the girl adopted by the Medicine King, Su Zhen. When I saw her back then, she was quite young, but even after so many years, I can recognize her at a glance.”
Zhou Ying was sturdy and imposing, a true warrior woman.
Even as a child, she was probably already extraordinarily sturdy, so anyone who had seen her, even if they hadn’t seen her in many years, and even though she had grown up, would still be able to recognize her.
Zhou Ying was only about thirty.
Meng Shushu, as a Grandmaster Martial Artist, looked rather young, but was actually over fifty. Grandmaster Martial Artists who were geniuses in their youth tend to age rather well.
“You know my grandfather?”
Su Lingxiu’s expression changed, and she walked over, her eyes narrowed.
Upon seeing Su Lingxiu, Meng Shushu’s eyes widened in disbelief, displaying a mixture of joy, comfort and complexity.
“You’re still alive?!”
Something was wrong with that sentence. Su Lingxiu’s gaze hardened and she asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
Meng Chong laid a hand on Meng Shushu’s shoulder and asked, “What is the meaning of this? Do you know my junior sister?”
Meng Shushu gave a bitter smile and said, “So she is your junior sister.”
Zhou Ying suddenly interjected, “I remember you. Are you the grandson of Elder Meng?”
“Yes, it’s me!”
The look on Meng Shushu’s face was conflicted.
Meng Chong suddenly remembered something. Meng Shushu had mentioned that his grandfather went to the aid of an old friend and in the end, perished. Could it be that he went to aid Su Lingxiu’s grandfather?
Zhou Ying went silent immediately, apparently, she did know a thing or two about this.
“Aunt Zhou, who is he?”
Su Lingxiu asked with a frown.
“He’s the descendant of the Meng Family, a prominent family in the field of Spiritual Medicine. Elder Meng and your grandfather were very close friends. Back in the day, most of the spiritual medicine required by the young Miss was found by Elder Meng.”
Zhou Ying sighed.
Su Lingxiu was silent for a moment before saying, “So, he’s my uncle. It’s nice to meet you, uncle!”
Meng Shushu quickly dodged and waved his hand, “Please, don’t call me uncle. I can’t bear it!”
Although his own grandfather and Su Lingxiu’s grandfather were close friends, when it came to generation division, he and Su Lingxiu were of the same generation.
“We are actually of the same generation, although I am a bit older.”
Meng Shushu gave an awkward smile. “After all, Senior Brother Xu, Brother Meng and I treat each other as equals.”
“What my cousin said is correct.”
Meng Chong pat Meng Shushu’s shoulder. He didn’t expect Meng Shushu to have a connection with Su Lingxiu.
If that was the case, he mustn’t exploit him too much in the future.
After all, he is family.
“Brother Meng, do you know something about this?”
Su Lingxiu asked in a deep voice.
Meng Shushu hesitated for a moment, sighed and finally said, “I don’t know much, but when my grandfather learned that Elder Su had run into trouble, he went to his aid, but…”
“I’m sorry!”
Su Lingxiu expressed regret.
“It’s not your fault.”
Meng Shushu shook his head and said, “I looked for you too, but the news I got was that the entire family of the Medicine King had been wiped out!”
Looking at Su Lingxiu, Meng Shushu couldn’t help but think of that gentle woman and that graceful figure. Some things were destined to be hidden in the heart, not to be told to anyone.
Like his parents, they had actually fallen unexpectedly whilst searching for the spiritual medicine needed to treat Su Lingxiu’s mother.
Li Xuan glanced at Meng Shushu, this fellow was hiding something, probably about Su Lingxiu’s background.
However, since he chose to hide it, it must be widely involved.
“Brother Meng, do you know which power killed my grandfather?”
Su Lingxiu asked.
“I don’t know. I’ve been looking for clues, but I haven’t found any.”
Meng Shushu shook his head.
“The black-robed people, they are sister Su’s enemies.”
Meng Chong spoke in a deep voice.
Meng Shushu froze, as if he realized something, he said, “I see. No wonder they are searching for the treasure land of spiritual medicine.”
After some chit-chat and reminiscing, he took out his harvest this time, a fifth-grade spiritual medicine, and asked.
“Sister Su, do you know what this spiritual medicine is? I don’t know why, but there is a feeling of spirit fullness near it.”
Xu Yan took out a grey grass and said.
Li Xuan looked over upon hearing this, his heart startled, was this a spiritual medicine that could nourish the spirit?
“This is… a fifth-grade Stone Ghost Grass.”
Su Lingxiu was astounded, “Stone Ghost Grass, grows in dark stone gaps, extremely difficult to find and extremely rare. A fifth-grade Stone Ghost Grass is unheard of!”
Then, Su Lingxiu introduced, “Stone Ghost Grass has the miraculous effect of nourishing and solidifying the spirit, making a person’s spirit as firm as a tenacious rock, allowing one to not be affected by external influences, or be influenced by illusions….”
Xu Yan suddenly realized that the effect of Stone Ghost Grass seemed to be of no use to him.
What external influence, what illusion, had no effect on him.
He had already reached the mysterious state of “no women in his heart,” where no illusion could shake his heart.
“I want to research how to refine Stone Ghost Grass into a pill.”
Su Lingxiu said excitedly.
“The pill was refined by you?”
Meng Shushu widened his eyes and asked.
“It was me.”
Su Lingxiu glanced at Meng Shushu. She could not forget the kindness of helping provided by Old Mister Meng.
So, she handed a bottle of Qi Gathering and Body Strengthening Pills to Meng Shushu, and said, “These are Qi Gathering Pills and Body Strengthening Pills, which can help you cultivate and increase your strength.”
“Thank you, thank you. Don’t worry, I will help you find the spiritual medicines. Just tell me what spiritual medicines you need. As you know, I am a spiritual medicine scout; finding spiritual medicines, especially rare ones, is what I am good at.”
Meng Shushu was very excited to take them and made a promise.
“Alright!”
Su Lingxiu nodded.
Having delivered the spiritual medicine, Xu Yan and Meng Chong didn’t stay long. On Canglan Island, the Demon Lord Huo Tu was still making a fuss. It was time to deal with the Demon Lord Huo Tu.
Just as the two of them were preparing to leave, Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan hurriedly arrived.
“Miss Su, here are the spiritual medicines!”
Hu Shan handed a bag to Su Lingxiu, which contained dozens of sixth-grade spiritual medicines.
Su Lingxiu was astonished, it was no wonder they were from Sword Lord Cliff, their foundation was truly profound.
“There is a bit too much spiritual medicine.”
The spiritual medicine here had exceeded the quantity needed to purchase Tianmarrow Pills.
“Whatever is extra, consider it as prepaid money for the pills.”
After Hu Shan finished speaking, he and Xie Lingfeng hurriedly went to find Xu Yan and Meng Chong.
“Brother Xu, there is danger on Canglan Island, you cannot go rashly.”
Xie Lingfeng said with a serious look.
“How many Great Grandmasters are there?”
Xu Yan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Xie Lingfeng was taken aback, “Brother Xu, you know?”
A few Great Grandmasters?
Speaking so casually, seemed like he didn’t take Great Grandmasters seriously at all.
How long has it been, in the eyes of Brother Xu, have Great Grandmasters become so insignificant?
“I guessed it.”
Xu Yan smiled and said.
“According to the information I got, on Canglan Island, apart from the Demon Lord Huo Tu, there are at least two other Great Grandmasters hiding.”
Xie Lingfeng said soberly.
“Three?”
Xu Yan pondered for a while, and then said, “That’s not much, it shouldn’t be too hard to kill them.”
“Elder Brother, leave one for me to practice.”
Meng Chong said excitedly, rubbing his hands together..
