Chapter 163 Holy Land Conspiracy, Semi-Sacred Artifact Six-Line Mirror!
"Young master, are you also a healer specializing in alchemy?!"
Su Qiang was taken aback, but her expression quickly turned somber as she said, "I'm afraid my father's illness cannot be cured by alchemy."
“Cousin, my brother’s medical skills are indeed very impressive. Why don’t we let him take a look?” Cai Kun quickly suggested.
"Alright, then please come in with me!"
Su Qiang sighed, then led Gu Jiancheng and Cai Kun into the cave.
Upon entering the cave, the aroma of the elixir became even stronger.
Gu Jiancheng soon spotted the frail old man lying on the stone bed in the cave.
His bones were enormous, far exceeding those of ordinary people. He should have been a particularly robust and strong man, but now his flesh and blood were withered and his breath was barely a thread.
It was clear that the Valley Master of Hundred Beasts was indeed on his deathbed.
"uncle!?"
Cai Kun was shocked to see this and rushed over.
But at this moment, the Valley Master of Hundred Beasts had already fallen into a coma and was unresponsive.
"Cousin, how did Uncle end up like this? Wasn't it just an old injury?" Cai Kun asked anxiously.
“Alas, my father was already seriously injured in the battle with the ferocious beast, and a year ago, he was ambushed and seriously injured again during a training trip.”
"Not only that, my father's Purple-Eyed Bull died shortly after returning, and then my father fell into a coma. No matter what methods or pills I used, it was no use."
Su Qiang took a deep breath, and although her breath was trembling, she still made herself look very calm.
She is now the pillar of the Valley of Beasts and must not show weakness to others.
"Even elixirs are useless?"
Cai Kun quickly formed a hand seal in front of his eyes, and his pupils instantly turned purple. But after a moment, he shook his head and looked at Gu Jiancheng with hope in his eyes.
"Brother Gu, it's up to you!"
His Taoist eyes could only detect a faint, strange aura within his uncle's body, but he could never see it clearly.
"Ah."
Gu Jiancheng nodded and then stepped forward.
In fact, he had already activated his Divine Eye of Insight, and the strange aura within the main body of the Hundred Beast Valley was quite obvious.
However, this doesn't seem to have changed the Valley Master of the Hundred Beasts into this state.
There must be something fishy going on here!
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng pretended to take the Valley Master's pulse on his wrist, while his divine eyes continued to penetrate deeper into the Valley Master's body.
This time, Gu Jiancheng took a long time, a full cup of tea's time, before finally withdrawing his hand.
"Brother Gu, how is my father?"
At this moment, Su Che, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed in and asked.
Although Su Qiang's eyes were also filled with trepidation, she did not speak directly.
"Your situation is indeed very dangerous."
Gu Jiancheng's expression was solemn.
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the siblings seemed to lose their luster in an instant.
This wasn't the first time they'd experienced something like this.
But each time, it only made them more desperate.
"But Brother Gu, you must still have a way, right? You're omnipotent!" But Cai Kun was still full of hope.
He knew better than anyone how strong Gu Jiancheng was.
"That's right, it's tricky, but there is a way."
"At the very least, we won't put our senior's life in danger!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded slightly, which made Su Qiang and her brother's eyes flicker again.
"really!?"
Su Qiang could hardly contain her excitement.
For over a year, so many alchemists have been at a loss, but only Gu Jiancheng claims to have a solution.
"nature!"
Gu Jiancheng nodded and said, "Senior's situation is indeed complicated. He already has old injuries, and his body has been corroded by strange energy. In addition, the most critical thing is that your father has poison in his body!"
"poison!?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qiang and her brother's expressions changed drastically.
But they didn't seem surprised by it.
"Brother Gu, just tell me how to treat it!" Cai Kun asked hurriedly.
"Old injuries need to be healed slowly, but I have some medicinal pills I can use."
Gu Jiancheng directly exchanged a greenish-blue pill from the system and fed it to the Valley Master of the Hundred Beasts Valley.
"As for the eerie aura, it's not difficult to detect."
Gu Jiancheng raised his hand and released Yin-Yang Qi, which seeped into the main body of the Hundred Beast Valley. In just a moment, the Yin-Yang Qi circulated within its body, dissolving all the strange energy within.
This is actually the easiest solution for Gu Jiancheng.
As a result, the Valley Master of the Hundred Beasts' complexion became visibly rosier, and at least the deathly aura from before had almost completely disappeared.
"father?"
Su Qiang and her brother were overjoyed upon seeing this and immediately stepped forward.
Even though the Valley Master of Hundred Beasts' breathing had stabilized, there was still no sign of him waking up.
"Your father has only survived by a hair's breadth; the poison in his body has not yet been cleared!"
Gu Jiancheng spoke up.
"It's just poisoning. That shouldn't be difficult for Brother Gu to resolve, right?"
Cai Kun frowned.
“It is indeed troublesome, because the poison of the Valley Master of Hundred Beasts is really extraordinary. It comes from a demon beast. So if I’m not mistaken, the demon pets in the valley are probably in bad shape now, right?” Gu Jiancheng suddenly looked at Su Qiang and asked.
"That's right!"
Su Qiang and her brother exchanged a glance and then nodded.
But they were deeply shocked.
How did Gu Jiancheng find out about this?
The demonic pets in Hundred Beast Valley have run into trouble, but this is their biggest secret right now!
"That's impossible. Doesn't your Su family have the Six-Line Blood-Illuminating Mirror? How could your demonic pet still have problems?"
But Cai Kun was also puzzled.
"The Six-Line Mirror can indeed be used to heal and detoxify demonic beasts, but it requires the essence blood of at least four demonic beasts with the Void Rank bloodline to activate it."
“But my father’s demonic pet died soon after it returned, and soon after that, all the other demonic pets in the valley also fell ill. The four strongest demonic pets died one after another, so we had no way to activate the Six Lines Mirror!” Su Qiang explained.
“That’s right. That strange disease spreads extremely quickly. In just three days, nearly half of the demon pets fell ill. It’s all thanks to my sister’s quick reaction that she isolated the sick demon pets,” Su Che added.
Su Qiang shook her head and sighed, her face full of worry, "But what can we do even if that's the case?"
"My father was seriously injured, and all the strongest demonic pets in the valley perished. This caused morale to drop in my sect, and our power and assets were constantly suppressed and eroded. Many disciples couldn't hold on and left the sect."
"So, as you can see now, Hundred Beasts Valley is in a very difficult situation. At the sect promotion ceremony the day after tomorrow, we may not even be able to maintain our status as a first-class sect."
"What!?" Cai Kun's expression changed upon hearing this. "My uncle was suddenly seriously injured and poisoned a year ago, and the sect's strength has been greatly reduced. Could it be such a coincidence?"
"Hehe, I also guessed that Father was ambushed." Su Qiang sneered, "But this is something we expected. Now, three of the four first-class sects in the Wilderness Domain have been controlled by the Holy Land. Now, our Hundred Beast Valley is the last thorn in our side."
"I just can't figure out which force is so despicable!"
"So, the most urgent task now is to clear the poison from Uncle and the demonic pet in the valley, right?" Cai Kun asked, frowning.
“It might be too late. Hundred Beast Valley is a sect that tames beasts. Without demonic pets, our combat strength is only half of what it used to be.” Su Qiang shook her head.
Now, almost all the geniuses in Hundred Beast Valley have left, and the demonic pets have had their cultivation time delayed for more than a year. Even if they are cured, they will no longer have their peak combat power.
"We should still give it a try."
Gu Jiancheng then spoke up, "I can cure this poison, but it will take quite some time."
"Why not try that so-called Six Lines Mirror?"
This poison is very strange and of a very high level; it has even completely fused with the blood, rendering Gu Jiancheng's Yin-Yang Qi ineffective.
It's very troublesome to remove.
"However, the Six Lines Mirror requires the essence blood of at least four top-tier bloodlines of demon beasts to activate. Six kinds of essence blood can bring the Six Lines Mirror's power to its limit."
“Currently, within the Valley of a Hundred Beasts, only my younger brother Wen Jinxiu and my Purple-Eyed Wild Bull meet the requirements, which is not enough,” Su Qiang frowned.
"Six types are required, right?"
"That doesn't seem too difficult."
Gu Jiancheng smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be enough if we just gave you four kinds?"
"What?" Su Qiang was suddenly startled.
Can Gu Jiancheng really just gather the essence blood of four kinds of demonic beasts at the Void Rank or above?
