Chapter 197: Herbal Disease Tomb
"Pfft..."
Not long after entering the territory of the Dayu Dynasty, in front of Lu Changjing's astonished eyes, a figure fell in front of him.
He must have used an escape talisman, otherwise the speed wouldn't be so fast.
The figure had white hair that was scattered all over his body. He looked quite disheveled, and there was blood all over his body.
There was a look of compassion on his face, his skin was a little darkened by the sun, and looked weathered.
But his eyes were filled with determination and courage, as if he was an indomitable warrior.
Seeing Lu Changjing in front of him, the old man's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly changed direction and continued to flee into the distance, as if he didn't want to cause trouble for Lu Changjing.
Lu Changjing raised his eyebrows, and the power of his soul fluctuated. The soul-stealing technique was performed silently, stealing part of the old man's memory.
But what surprised Lu Changjing was that the old man was only a high-level master. With his cultivation and soul-stealing skills, he should be able to easily read all his memories.
However, he was unable to access the old man's deepest memories. He even had a feeling that even if he knocked him unconscious, he would not be able to obtain his hidden memories.
The old man's willpower is terrifyingly strong, and his most important memories are hidden in the deepest part of his spiritual sea. Unless his cultivation level is increased several times, there is a chance that he can forcibly break through his defense and obtain his deepest memories.
However, just through the memories revealed on the surface, Lu Changjing decided not to stand idly by but to help the old man.
Just after running a few miles away, the old man saw a figure in front of him. It was the figure he had fallen in front of before: "What can I do for you, sir?"
Lu Changjing had already changed his appearance and used a human skin mask, now he looked like a middle-aged man: "Are you in trouble, old man? Do you want my help?"
"You want to help me?" The old man was stunned. "Do you know who is chasing me? How dare you help me?"
Lu Changjing smiled and said, "I just happened to have some time, and I saw that the old man would rather stay away from me despite his serious injuries to avoid causing me trouble, so I felt that we were destined to meet, and wanted to ask about the situation."
"I see." The old man did not doubt it and said with a bitter smile: "I advise you not to interfere in this matter. The one chasing me is the Cui Shi family, one of the four major families of the Dayu Dynasty. There are three grandmasters in charge, and as many as 31 grandmasters. You can't resist them at all."
After hearing the old man's words, Lu Changjing looked calm and not panicked: "Oh, it seems that he still has some strength, but I should be able to handle it."
"Ah..." The old man was stunned. He was stunned by Lu Changjing's big talk. He said in disbelief, "You...you are telling the truth. That is the Cui Shi family, a thousand-year-old family with three great masters and thirty-one masters. Even the royal family is afraid of them. Are you really not afraid?"
Lu Changjing smiled and said, "Are there demigods?"
"Demigod?" The old man was stunned, and then he thought of something: "Are you a demigod?"
Lu Changjing nodded: "If it's true, there is no need for me to lie to you about this. As long as there is no demigod in the Cui Shi family, I can deal with it." "I...this..." The old man was a little at a loss. He never expected that the person he accidentally bumped into was actually a demigod, who was the overlord among the grandmasters and had great hope of being promoted to the realm of gods and demons.
The most important thing is that this demigod obviously has a good impression of him and wants to help him, but is there such a coincidence in the world?
The old man hesitated for a moment, then thought that this might be his last straw, and after a while, he bowed down to Lu Changjing: "Since you are a demigod, I would like to ask you for help. If you can help me get revenge, I will offer you the ancestral book with both hands."
"Please speak, old man." Isn't this Lu Changjing's purpose? If it was just an ordinary book of magical skills, he would not be interested.
However, although this old man looks inconspicuous, his ancestors are famous, and they have inherited a mysterious classic. Although it is only a low-level mysterious classic, it is also priceless.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Changjing decided to go against his usual behavior and intervene in this matter, even though doing so might cause some trouble.
But compared to a low-level mystical book, this little trouble is nothing.
The old man had not expected, and Lu Changjing had not expected even more, that just an accidental encounter would actually involve a low-level mysterious book.
You must know that even in the three great divine dynasties, the Mysterious Arts Book is a treasure and secret of the highest level, and will not be leaked easily.
According to the information obtained by the soul-stealing technique, the old man's family was also because the secret of this mysterious book was known to the Cui Shi family, so they seized it by trickery and even killed and burned down the old man's entire family.
The old man originally wanted to present this book of profound skills to save his family, but the Cui Shi family was cruel and ruthless and did not want the secret to be leaked out. Even though the old man had agreed to present the book of profound skills, they still took ruthless action against him.
Seeing this, the old man tried his best to escape, and it was only by chance that he met Lu Changjing.
However, if there was no soul-stealing technique, I'm afraid Lu Changjing would not have intervened in this matter, and he would have missed this mysterious book.
Sure enough, what the old man said next was exactly the same as the memory he obtained through the soul-stealing technique: "My name is Li Fubing, and I am the head of Bencao Hall in the Dayu Dynasty and the patriarch of the Li family."
"Our ancestors inherited the Mysterious Classic of Materia Medica and Disease, which is a precious secret book that transcends the Divine Classic. Our ancestors also knew that the Mysterious Classic of Materia Medica and Disease was priceless, so they kept it a secret and only said that the Mysterious Classic of Materia Medica and Disease was an ordinary Divine Classic of Alchemy, and only let their descendants practice the first half."
"The second half has been hidden in a secret place. Unless a clan member with extraordinary talent appears and has the ability to protect the family, he can learn the second half of the Materia Medica Disease Tomb."
"Originally, this secret was well hidden and unknown to outsiders. However, an unfilial descendant eavesdropped on my conversation with the elders and learned about the second half of the Herbal Disease Tomb. This was also my fault for not being discreet enough. He overheard the secret and leaked it to a young lady from the Cui family..."
There is no need to talk about what happened next. This descendant of the Li family was confused and leaked the contents of the second half of the Materia Medica Tomb in order to please the young lady of the Cui family.
But this young lady of the Cui family was not a good person. She told the family leaders about this matter. Facing the temptation of a mysterious book, how could the Cui family resist? They immediately started to attack Bencaotang and the Li family, and even took ruthless actions...
