Su Xiaoliu rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled, "Do you have any life - prolonging medicine or a panacea for all poisons?" Back in the capital, she often heard storytellers talk about these miraculous drugs. Each time, Su Xiaoliu would be so intrigued that she wished she could get a couple of such medicines.
Chu Weixin looked down at Su Xiaoliu and said with a faint smile, "Life - prolonging medicine? A panacea for all poisons?" He walked over, nudged Su Xiaoliu aside, and picked up the medicine jar beside her. "Su Xiaoliu, can you be more delusional?"
Su Xiaoliu stared at him for a while and whispered, "If there can be a rebirth fruit, why can't there be life - prolonging medicine or a panacea for all poisons?"
Chu Weixin paused slightly in his movements, then walked to the other side and said, "At such a young age, thinking about life - prolonging stuff. You're really yourself." He picked up a small spoon and scooped out all the medicine from the jar. "As for the panacea for all poisons, that kind of medicine is basically impossible to prepare. Each poison should have its own antidote. There's no such thing as one medicine to cure all poisons. You really have a wild imagination."
Su Xiaoliu pursed her lips, glanced at him, and said, "Haven't you heard the saying 'Good people die young, while villains live long'? As a good person like me, of course, I need to be prepared. It's not like you, who can live carefree for so many years." Besides, she just didn't understand medicine and said a few layman's words. Was it necessary to be mocked?
Without even looking at her, Chu Weixin picked up the newly prepared medicine beside him, threw it to her, and said, "Su Xiaoliu should really change her name to Li Xiaohua. She's as ignorant as a village girl."
Su Xiaoliu caught the porcelain bottle he threw, glanced at him, then looked down at the bottle. She turned the bottle around but didn't see any words on it. She couldn't help but wonder, "What is this?" She opened the cork and sniffed gently. It smelled fragrant with a faint sweetness. Su Xiaoliu poured out a few pills into her palm. The white pills looked just like sugar pills.
Chu Weixin gave her a cold look, curled his lips, and said softly, "Medicine for delusions."
Su Xiaoliu's hand froze. She quickly poured the pills back into the porcelain bottle, plugged the cork, and pressed the bottle on the table. She roared angrily, "You should treat yourself first!"
The Wanku Valley was not as beautiful as Su Xiaoliu had imagined. Looking around, there was not a single living thing in the vast valley. The red stones were covered with withered flowers and plants.
No wonder it was called the Wanku Valley.
It was said that all excellent doctors came from the Wanku Valley. Besides Chu Weixin, Yun Ruo was also from this valley. Both of them were miracle - working doctors.
Su Xiaoliu sat quietly on the rock, looking at the rugged valley. A desolate and depressing feeling came over her.
She had heard from Zhong Fengyue that the Wanku Valley had a special geology and always grew some rare medicinal materials that could not be found elsewhere. So the saying that excellent doctors came from the Wanku Valley was not unfounded.
However, Su Xiaoliu never thought that the Wanku Valley would be like this now. It was as if the source of life had been sucked away, leaving only an empty shell.
Suddenly, a golden glow flashed before her eyes.
Su Xiaoliu frowned, thinking she had misseen. She looked around, but there was nothing.
Just as she lowered her head, another golden glow flashed. She suddenly looked up and saw a golden glow floating in the air, constantly moving towards a certain place.
Su Xiaoliu stood up, patted the dust off her clothes, and carefully followed the golden glow. She walked around the rocks, climbed up the dirt slopes, and kept walking until she reached a tall Chinese parasol tree. Then the golden glow disappeared.
Su Xiaoliu searched for a long time and was sure that the golden glow was really gone. She looked up and carefully observed the Chinese parasol tree in front of her. The tree had no leaves, only bare branches. It had become a dead tree.
She walked up to the tree, reached out and gently touched the trunk. Her fingertips felt the rough texture. She looked up at the treetop. This tree must have been dead for several years, not even a single withered leaf.
Su Xiaoliu turned around and found that she had come to a flat ground. This flat ground should be at the foot of the mountain. The empty ground was covered with red stones and dead wood. Looking around, it was desolate and empty.
She had never been here before and didn't know how far it was from her residence. Su Xiaoliu pursed her lips, grabbed the sleeve of her clothes, and walked forward based on her feeling.
Suddenly, the golden glow appeared again.
Su Xiaoliu stared closely at the golden glow. It was floating forward. Su Xiaoliu didn't dare to relax and quickly followed it, trotting all the way.
The golden glow floated around, occasionally dropping a little bit. If Su Xiaoliu hadn't seen it several times with her own eyes, she would have thought she was having an illusion.
The golden glow led Su Xiaoliu all the way and suddenly stopped in front of a cave.
Su Xiaoliu stopped. The golden glow circled a few times and flew into the cave.
Su Xiaoliu craned her neck and looked into the cave. It was pitch - black inside. Su Xiaoliu was a bit unsure and didn't dare to go in.
She thought for a while and walked in another direction.
Maybe what she saw just now was really an illusion. How could there be such a mysterious thing in the world?
Shaking her head as she walked, Su Xiaoliu suddenly faintly heard the sound of sword - training. She was stunned for a moment and quickly walked towards the direction of the sound.
After walking around a small hillside, Su Xiaoliu looked down.
A loud "boom" sounded, breaking the silence. A tree not far away split open. The sword's edge flashed by like a startled swan. The corner of the white robe, which was as agile as a dragon, slowly fell.
Su Xiaoliu stared at the tree in disbelief. While in a daze, the white figure showed his sword skills. His figure flashed, and in an instant, the sword light danced in the air like a wriggling snake. He pointed his long sword, and there was a loud noise. A gust of wind swept up from the ground, and sand flew everywhere. With a "rumbling" sound, the tree was cut in half and slowly fell...
Su Xiaoliu looked up at the man. The spotless white figure came into view. Obviously noticing someone was looking at him, he turned his head.
Their eyes met. Su Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment.
Zhong Fengyue was also a bit stunned. He curled his lips, put away the Tianci Sword, and said, "What are you doing here, Xiaoliu?"
Su Xiaoliu came to her senses and quickly walked down from the small hillside. She looked up at Zhong Fengyue and said, "Just now..." The words she was about to say suddenly stopped. After thinking for a while, Su Xiaoliu decided to tell the truth. She pointed behind her and said bravely, "Just now, a strange thing led me here. It seemed to be a beam of light. Later, it flew into a cave. That cave is just behind the small hillside."
Zhong Fengyue was slightly stunned. Under his white gauze hat, his black eyes looked at Su Xiaoliu. He said, "A beam of light?" Seeing Su Xiaoliu's serious expression, he smiled slightly. "Then let's go and take a look in that cave."
