Chapter 637: The Mortal Girl Who Became Possessed by the Demon (15)
Lian Zhu was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at He Wan with his eyes slanted, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes seemed even more charming.
"What makes you think I know how to cure the Gu?"
He Wan said, "Don't pretend, you know it clearly in your heart."
Xu Huaizhen was poisoned when he was investigating the disappearance of boys and girls in a demonic cult in the human world.
This matter has eighty percent to do with the demons.
In addition, the method of removing the poison was extremely obscene, and He Wan really didn't believe that it was not made by the demons.
Although Lian Zhu didn't say it explicitly, the natural tone he used when he mentioned the insect made He Wan more certain of his guess.
This poisonous insect in her stomach has always been a hidden danger, and He Wan cannot let this matter drag on.
Lian Zhu didn't try to deal with it like she was playing Tai Chi anymore, but instead said lazily, "How smart! You guessed it right. I do know it, but do I have to tell you just because I know it?"
He Wan was too lazy to beat around the bush with him: "Just tell me what I want you to do?"
Lian Zhu turned over, propped up her head with one hand and looked at He Wan with a teasing smile on her face: "If you want me to tell you how to remove the poison, it's not impossible."
"How about this, you help me steal something, and I'll tell you when you steal it."
He Wan frowned after hearing this: "What did you steal?"
Wouldn't he ask her to steal something expensive?
"I heard that someone in Medicine King Valley has created a Soul Resurrection Pill. Go and steal it for me."
He Wan: “…”
Lian Zhu raised an eyebrow: "Why? Can't do it?"
"The alchemists in Medicine King Valley have put a high price on your head, why are you still targeting him alone?"
"Really?" Lian Zhu really didn't know about this. "How much is the high price?"
"One hundred million high-grade spirit stones."
Lian Zhu stretched out her hand and counted: "One hundred million... Dan Xiu is really rich."
"What did you do to deserve a 100 million bounty on your head?"
Lian Zhu curled her lips: "I didn't do anything, I just picked a few of his spiritual herbs, why do you hate me so much..."
He Wan didn't believe it was so simple.
"You've become a thorn in the eyes of Medicine King Valley. Do you think it's realistic for a mortal like me, who hasn't even started practicing yet, to enter Medicine King Valley and steal elixirs?"
"Then what should I do?" Lian Zhu blinked. "How about... you help me steal the robes from those old bald donkeys on Mount Xumi?"
He Wan: “…”
She finally understood the devil's train of thought, and realized that he could do whatever made him happy.
"Then I'll choose the first one."
Lian Zhu raised his eyebrows. He thought she would choose to steal the cassock. After all, Buddhist monks sounded like they had good tempers, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she stole it.
But since He Wan chose to steal the elixir, he didn't say much.
Lian Zhu was very excited and rubbed his hands together: "Then let's go to Yaowang Valley now?"
He Wan: "...Just go like this?"
"What else? You don't have that much demonic energy in your body right now, so you can cover it up with some magic."
Lian Zhu waved her hand casually: "The people in Yaowang Valley are quite friendly to mortals. As long as you can sneak in, I can find a way to arrange an identity for you."
...
Lian Zhu didn't expect that He Wan had no intention of sneaking in directly. He stood at the gate of the Medicine King Valley and asked to see Rong Huaji.
He Wan didn't expect that Lian Zhu's suggestion of arranging an identity was to kill a little medicine boy who was in charge of guarding the elixir.
If He Wan hadn't stopped him, the little medicine boy who was about to return to the valley would have probably died in the next second.
Lian Zhu didn't understand why He Wan wanted to stop him, and He Wan didn't understand why Lian Zhu acted so rudely.
Then Lian Zhu watched He Wan walk to the gate of Yaowang Valley and ask to see Rong Huaji to the crane that opened the door.
But the crane actually informed her and finally took He Wan into the Medicine King Valley.
Hey, that's really strange.
After the last incident, the tracking of demonic energy in Yaowang Valley was strengthened. Lian Zhu did not dare to go in easily, so she had to sleep on a pine branch in the distance and wait for He Wan to come out.
Unlike Kunlun Sect, Yaowang Valley is far away from the mortal world and is located in a secret place surrounded by mountains. It is surrounded by towering sacred peaks and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.
There is a large maze formation at the entrance of the valley, which is difficult for mortals to approach. If the monks do not have guidance, they will fall into the illusion and go around in circles if they are not careful.
Even when Lian Zhu and He Wan flew by light, it still took them three days to find the valley entrance.
Fortunately, the parasite in He Wan's body was well fed during the last attack and fell into a long period of hibernation, so it did not attack again.
There are two huge welcoming pines growing on both sides of the entrance of Yaowang Valley. The pine needles are like jade and can automatically identify the breath of visitors. It is said that they will wither silently when evil cultivators approach.
He Wan's heart beat faster when she approached the Welcoming Pine, but she didn't know whether it was because there was not much demonic energy in her body, or because Lian Zhu's concealment spell could really cover the sky and block out the sun, the Welcoming Pine did not change.
He Wan entered the Medicine King Valley through the main gate in broad daylight.
The spiritual energy in the valley is so rich that it is almost liquefied. You can smell the fragrance of plants and the lingering scent of elixir with every breath.
A spiritual spring cascades down from the cliff, and wherever the water drops fall, exotic flowers and plants grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When He Wan was sitting on the back of the crane, he saw the huge herb garden below. Even looking down from a high altitude, he could see that the spiritual herbs below were growing lushly.
The crane carried He Wan all the way to the Medicine King Palace. After putting He Wan down, the crane flew away.
He Wan looked around at the empty space, then walked into the Medicine King Hall.
As soon as you enter the Medicine King Hall, you will see a huge painting of "Shennong Tasting Hundreds of Herbs" hanging in the center.
Then an illusory figure appeared on the chair below the picture.
"This... mortal friend, what brings you to Medicine King Valley?"
The young man's voice was very clear and pleasant, and he didn't sound like someone who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
He Wan saluted, then stood up and said, "I want to make a deal with Master Rong."
"Why should I make a deal with a mortal?"
"I have something that Master Rong is interested in."
"Really? What am I interested in?"
"A pill recipe, a long-lost pill recipe."
"There are so many long-lost recipes for elixirs. How can you be sure that I will be interested in the one you have?"
"I've heard that Master Rong is obsessed with alchemy and even likes to collect lost alchemy recipes."
He Wan lowered his eyes and said, "That's why I dared to make this deal with Master Rong."
"What's the deal? Tell me about it."
"I heard that Master Rong recently refined a Soul-Restoring Pill. I would like to exchange the recipe for the Nine-Transformation Marrow Cleansing Pill for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure instantly materialized and appeared in front of He Wan.
Then a refreshing fragrance wafts to the tip of the nose.
"Nine-transformation marrow cleansing pill?"
