Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 857: Cultivation Art In Exchange For Treasure Troves
It was unexpected for Tang Xiu to see Wang Rui still alive. He sighed deeply as he observed his pain through his spiritual senses before he walked out of a corner near the stairs. He knew about the tragedy that befell Qingcheng Monastery and previously thought that he could save the remaining members of the school. However, he was poisoned and severely injured, which left nearly half of the remaining dozens of people from Qingcheng Monastery killed.
"Who is this?"
Except for Wang Rui, nine out of ten people inside the basement looked at Tang Xiu and shouted loudly.
“You don't need to be nervous because I have no malicious intentions towards all of you.” Tang Xiu shook his head and sighed, “It is unfortunate that the Dao Master Poison ambushed me with its poison, otherwise I could guarantee the protection of the remaining members of your Qingcheng school. "
"That's you?"
When Wang Feng saw Tang Xiu, he looked surprised and ran to Tang Xiu under everyone's supervision. He knelt down and kowtowed several times before waking up, then gratefully said, "I didn't expect you to be alive. That night, the remaining members would have already died if not for your actions in saving. I am Wang Feng from Qingcheng School, and you are my savior. "
Tang Xiu patted her on the shoulder and then came to Wang Rui to talk to her helplessly, "The dead cannot be resurrected after death, so endure your grief and move in accordance with the inevitable. You helped Viviani in the South China Sea, so I'll help you kill the Dao Master Poison in return for her help. "
Wang Rui did not expect that he would see Tang Xiu here, nor did he think that the person who helped them at Qingcheng Monastery that night was Tang Xiu. Nevertheless, there was a look of hatred in his eyes as he turned around and asked, "You mean .. The person who killed my father and destroyed my Qingcheng school is called the Dao Master Poison?"
"The people who destroyed your Qingcheng Monastery are students of the Dao Master Poison, but the person who is currently hunting down and killing your other school members is the Dao Master Poison," Tang Xiu said. "Your father was not killed that night; he should have been found and killed by the Dao Master Poison later. Get rid of that hatred, Wang Rui! I will help you take revenge in this blood feud."
Wang Rui fell silent for a moment before slowly asking, "Is this Dao Master Poison really that powerful?"
"He can fly and is resistant to attack, so powerful beyond what most people can imagine," Tang Xiu said. "Even if you sum up all the members of your Qingcheng school, it won't be enough against him; he can only hit you with his palm."
Downturns…
Wang Rui knelt before Tang Xiu and exclaimed harshly as he said, "Tang Xiu, I know I will never be able to take revenge in this blood feud with my abilities, but I hope you take me with you when you kill Dao Master Poison .. I .. I want to witness his death with my own eyes. "
Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment before he nodded and replied, "I can promise you, but what do you want to do next? If you come out now, once the Dao Master Poison finds you, you might not be able to escape and will die. "
"Are you still unable to defeat the current Dao Master Poison, Senior?" asked Wang Feng.
"Maybe I can kill him in a real fight using swords and fists, he said, but the reason why he was called the Dao Master Poison was because he was an expert in poison and excelled in mysterious poisoning methods that could not be predicted even for myself. I didn't know about the poison he used, which was the reason he got me so easily. "Tang Xiu shook his head and continued," For example, what happened that night. I will have no problem keeping my words to protect the remaining members of your Qingcheng school and might be able to kill him had I not been poisoned first. "
"Then what should we do now?" wang Feng asked bitterly.
"Don't worry about that. I've sent my men to find medicinal herbs. As long as the potion I need can be found, I can refine the Poison Repellent Pill. As long as I take this pill in advance, even if it can't keep all kinds of poison away, the powerful poison won't have any effect on me. "
"Then, what potion do you need, Senior?" wang Feng asked quickly. "Our Qingcheng Monastery has stored many medicinal herbs in our basement. Maybe have what you need."
Tang Xiu's expression changed and he quickly told her the potion she needed. The fact was that the Qingcheng Monastery located far away on Mount Qingcheng had not crossed his mind before. They have a unique advantage in collecting herbs, and it is not surprising that they will store a large number of valuable herbs.
"Please come with us, Senior!" said Wang Feng. "We're going to go to the basement near here. I know that some of the herbs you just mentioned are stored inside."
"Come on." Tang Xiu also did not want to delay anymore and directly left the basement with them.
The underground warehouse of Qingcheng Monastery is located in a high-rise courtyard in the Northeast corner. It was the treasure storehouse of the monastery in the past and was also a forbidden place for most people. But now, the Qingcheng school had fallen into distress and had suffered great losses, so the past habits had lost their ties.
In the basement vault.
Apart from the vast empty hall under the stairs, there were six warehouses on either side of the inner corridor that housed some valuable treasures belonging to the Qingcheng Monastery. However, the valuable spices were stored in the two outermost warehouses. Tang Xiu entered the first room of the open warehouse and saw three rows of cabinets filled with precious herbs. There are hundreds of types. Tang Xiu glanced over and saw there were over ten 500-year-old wild ginsengs here.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu found some herbs he needed. But he had checked all the seasonings stored inside the two warehouses and found that he was still lacking two condiments: Pond Reed Wild-goose and Arcane Mugwort Flower.
Wang Rui walking next to Tang Xiu also knew that they had yet to find two kinds of potions. He spoke, "We have never heard the names of these two herbs, Wild-Goose Pond Reed and Arcane Mugwort Flower. Can you draw them to make it easier for us to find them?"
"No problem." Tang Xiu took out a paper and pen, and quickly pulled the two potions.
After a few of them saw the photos, Wang Rui furrowed his brows and said, "Isn't this Arcane Mugwort Flower just a kind of Nepenthes, a Warthog Pen herb? It was just an ordinary weed endemic in the nearby swamp to the west of Mount Qingcheng. That's right, I used to see some of them inside the basement, even though they were few in number. "
A potion of Warthog Pen?
Tang Xiu quietly forced a smile inside. Although he had discovered and read many literary works on medicinal ingredients, he had never seen one mentioning the Mugwort Arcane Flower. However, such a valuable herb was unexpectedly called the Warthog Pen, a nepenthes plant common on Earth. We should know that the processed Arcane Mugwort Flower produces fluid that can improve blood circulation to eliminate blood stasis, as well as strengthen muscles and bones. It had a good effect on the average person and cultivator, and flowers had benefits for living things if it was very old.
"I don't know".
"I've never heard of this one."
They all shook their heads and had bitter faces.
"Then we can only wait if you don't have it," Tang Xiu said. "I've sent someone to buy it and he might be able to find the potion."
"Yes!"
Each of them could only pin their hopes on the people sent by Tang Xiu at this moment.
Tang Xiu came out of the warehouse but suddenly asked, "Is your Qingcheng school selling these medicinal herbs? If you are willing to sell it, I can buy it at a high price, or we can exchange it for some other thing."
"We don't sell them, but they can be exchanged," Wang Rui said without thinking. "If you exchange it for Daoist cultivation art, you can take all the herbs stored in these two warehouses."
The rest immediately looked excited after hearing that and nodded in agreement with Wang Rui.
Tang Xiu was silent for a while before he shook his head and said, "Talking about the Daoist cultivation art is no small matter and also cannot be easily exposed to outsiders. However, there are some cultivation techniques that I can give you if you want to become stronger. Although it will not take you to the realm of cultivators who are able to fly and dry rivers or overturn oceans, it is still possible to increase your strength by more than ten times. "
"I'll take them!" Wang Rui agreed.

Qinglin County.
At the county Public Security Bureau Head Office, the police chief, Zhu Hongguo, wore a deep frown while intensely smoking his cigarette. Sitting opposite him included Chairman of the District Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), chairman of both parties, and captain of the city's Criminal Police force, Li Gangde. At this moment, the command of the two CPC city committees were also smoking and frowning.
"You have to think of a way to solve this problem. The killings that continue to appear in the jurisdiction of Qinglin County have raised concerns with the provincial authorities. Moreover, this killing has caused public panic and seriously affected the stability of Qinglin County If we are unable to capture this ferocious beast and are unable to resolve the matter completely, I'm afraid all of us present now won't end well either. "CPC City's second command committee, Xiao Kang, took out a cigarette butt and uttered it with an irritated and pouting face.
"We've done everything we could think of, but the culprit is definitely not an ordinary person. Wanting to arrest and bring him to justice proved impossible" Zhu Honggue replied helplessly.
"I knew. The superiors have already sent people here, but we don't know yet when they will arrive" Xiao Kang said. "However, we cannot pin all our hopes on those people while relying solely on them. At the very least, we need to find the whereabouts of this person before the people from the Central authority arrive here."
"You mean ... Should we do some intel work first?" ask Zhu Hongguo.
“True,” Xiao Kang nodded.
Tap, tap …
A knock was heard on the office door and a middle-aged man in police uniform entered the room before quickly reporting, "Chairman, there are two women here saying that they were sent by the superior. They're outside now. "
Two women?
Everyone's expressions changed and Xiao Kang immediately got up and said quickly, "Bring us to take a look!"
A minute later, the group saw two women waiting outside the hall. If Tang Xiu was here, he would be able to recognize them at a glance because they were the old deliverance: Electrolady and Aquababe.
"Two women, I …"
Electrolady waved her hand to interrupt Xiao Kang's introduction and straightforwardly said, "We don't need to know who you are. Your task is very simple, find a way to help us find the whereabouts of the criminal. At the same time, we are responsible for the operation to capture. This is our credential. "
With that said, the two women took out the green book and handed it to Xiao Kang to check it out.
Xiao Kang forced a wry smile in his heart when he saw the huge character written on the green book. He knew that these two women in front of him had a special identity. After returning the green book to them with a hint of respect, he said, "We haven't found the criminal's location yet, but give us some time. We believe we will find it as soon as possible and we will report our findings to you. "
"Alright, let's exchange contact details." Electrolady nodded and said, "We'll move to find him in Qinglin County before we get any information from you. If you find it, contact us via the number I gave you."
