Chapter 63 Obtained the Antidote

After listening to the story of Jin Yulong and Chi Ying, Lu Yao fell into deep thoughts.

He once thought that this heart belonged to the late Chi Ying, but he never expected that this heart would actually have such a story.

"You should know that I chose to tell you this because I believe that this heart will definitely lead you to the path of cultivation. As someone who witnessed Chi Ying's growth, I hope that I can protect you and support you while you grow up." Jin Yulong sorted out his thoughts and said, "Moreover, I also want to know if you can reach my master's realm, or even higher!"

This explained everything. No wonder people from the Tianxin martial arts school kept trying to rope him in. It turned out that there was such a relationship between Jin Yulong and him!

Jin Yulong told him such a confidential matter. Obviously, he did not have any ill intention towards Lu Yao. On the contrary, he had shown Lu Yao enough kindness.

Therefore, Lu Yao chose to believe in Jin Yulong, a cultivator like him.

Then, they chatted about some matters regarding cultivation. It was only after Wang Ping returned to the martial arts school that Lu Yao bid farewell and left.

He was pressed for time, and after thinking it over, Lu Yao decided to first go to Sanlong Bay in Jingxin Lake that Qian Hu had mentioned to look for the life-saving item.

...

...

Lu Yao was not a stranger to Jingxin Lake, he was also familiar with Sanlong Bay.

Sanlong Bay was not a very famous scenic spot within Jingxin Lake's range. Three large streams of spring water gathered here, and with each stream of spring water flowing in a separate canal before reaching here. Of course, these canals were constructed for the people by the previous generation when the large-scale construction of water resource development projects was under way in the country.

Because the canals were winding like giant dragons circling in the air, and the three canals converged here and then the streams flew into Jingxin Lake at the same time, people named this place Sanlong Bay.

At first, Sanlong Bay could be considered a rather popular scenic spot. However, as people's aesthetic perception slowly changed, most people thought that only pure and natural scenic spots were the most beautiful and attractive.

Therefore, people gradually forgot about Sanlong Bay. This time, if Qian Hu hadn't mentioned it, Lu Yao would have forgotten that there was such a place in Jingxin Lake.

Sanlong Bay was neither big nor small, making it difficult for Lu Yao to search for things here. Even though his perception was superb, it was still very difficult for him to find the hiding place of the dried corpse in such a natural place.

It was just about afternoon when Lu Yao arrived here, but five or six hours passed quietly, and Lu Yao found nothing.

Even Li Jiang found it hard to sense the location of the corpse.

Time was money. Time was life. For the sake of the pitiful family of Auntie Wang, Lu Yao didn't give up. He continued to search under the scorching sun.

Li Jiang had several kinds of talismans for searching for people and objects. However, with Lu Yao's current strength, not only could he not use them, but if Li Jiang used them, it would bring a lot of harm to Lu Yao's body, directly affecting his cultivation.

Therefore, they gave up the idea of using the talismans. They had to use the most primitive and stupid method, searching inch by inch.

After another two or three hours passed, and there was still nothing found!

At this time, it was already dark, and the sky was filled with stars.

"Wait, Lu Yao, I think I have found it!" Suddenly, Li Jiang's voice sounded in Lu Yao's mind.

"Really, Master? Where is it?" When Lu Yao heard this, he was also extremely excited.

"Look at the night sky!" Li Jiang said. "The Jumen Star, Zuofu Star, and Youbi Star are shining brightly. They form an equilateral triangle. In the middle, the Taiyang Star and Taiyin Star appear together. This is a marvelous golden combination of stars in the universe!"

"Master, what is the meaning of this?" Lu Yao did not understand, so he immediately asked.

"Since ancient times, cultivators believed in the Yin-Yang Theory in Feng Shui. They believed that there were twenty-four mansions in the sky. There were twenty-four hours in the day, and there were twenty-four solar terms in the year. There were also twenty-four directions and locations in Feng Shui. There were eighty-four thousand miles between heaven and earth. The heart and kidney were 8.4 inches apart. The human body contained five elements: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, which corresponded with the stars in the sky. There were also twenty-four stars that corresponded to the rivers and mountains on earth. The stars may be auspicious or ominous, and the terrain was, too. Therefore, many people would choose the best cultivation places through the Yin-Yang Theory in Feng Shui. This was the fundamental reason why different sects will choose auspicious places that absorb the essence of the universe to establish their foundations." Li Jiang explained.

"Look at this group of stars. There is a deviation in the positions of the three stars. They are not in their original positions, but their appearance is not accidental. If I am not wrong, it is very likely that the corpse hidden by Qian Hu has affected the positions of the three stars." Li Jiang continued.

Lu Yao did not know anything about the theory of Yin and Yang in Feng Shui. At this time, he couldn't comprehend what Li Jiang had said at all. However, he believed that Li Jiang's judgment would definitely not be wrong, because in ancient times, people really admired the Yin-Yang Theory in Feng Shui.

"Master, have you figured out the specific position?" Lu Yao asked.

"Ten steps ahead, three inches to the right, and then one step forward!" Li Jiang very accurately pointed out the location indicated by the arrangement of the stars.

Of course, Li Jiang said it in his own way. If comprehended in the modern way, Lu Yao believed that the position Li Jiang pointed to should be eleven steps forward in the direction of two o'clock.

Lu Yao did not care about that much and walked in the direction that Li Jiang had pointed out.

At this time, Lu Yao was standing at the outlet of one of the three canals in Sanlong Bay, and he was right in the middle.

"Master, is this position right?" Lu Yao asked.

"It can't be wrong. Look for it in the water and see if you can find anything," Li Jiang said.

Lu Yao bent down and kept searching in the water. He did not touch anything except mud.

He thought to himself, "Although I have not learned the Yin-Yang Theory in Feng Shui, I know that this thing is quite profound. Since Li Jiang said so, it must be right."

He sat directly in the water, letting his clothes be soaked by the spring water as he carefully searched inch by inch.

Suddenly, Lu Yao noticed that there was a rusty steel wire ring under the edge of the canal.

Lu Yao grabbed the steel wire and pulled it gently.

It did not move at all!

"Huh?"

He pulled it harder, exerting seventy to eighty percent of his strength.

It was still motionless!

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yao stood in place and slowly used the arts of Tuiyun Hand and Poti Fist, concentrating all the strength of his body on his hand. He then grabbed the steel wire ring and pulled hard.

Suddenly, a patch of grass not far away from the shore, which had been invisible, slowly tilted up as Lu Yao pulled the ring.

So that was the case. No wonder Qian Hu chose to hide the thing in this place. It turned out that ordinary people could not pull this steel wire ring at all.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Yao had broken through Ru Wei stage of the Body Refining Phase and reached the Ru Dao stage, and that his strength increased from 350 to 450 kilograms, Lu Yao wouldn't have been able to pull it.

"Thump!"

With a sound, Lu Yao knew that the steel wire ring couldn't be pulled anymore. It was stuck by something.

He jumped out of the water and slowly walked towards the grass.

There was a hole made of concrete that could only allow one person to enter. Because it was at night, Lu Yao could not see what was below. He could only vaguely see stairs that extended downward.

Lu Yao carefully stepped on the stairs and slowly walked down. He silently recited the Qi closing formula that Li Jiang taught him before and concentrated all his strength on his arms.

In fact, the steps were not high. In less than two minutes, Lu Yao came to the flat ground.

He stood there for a few minutes, and his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the dark cell.

Lu Yao did not make a move immediately, but he carefully looked around the entire dark cell.

It was not big, just the size of the basement of an ordinary house, about six or seven square meters.

Besides a coffin with a strong rotten smell, there was a metal chest at the corner of the cell that was about the height of Lu Yao's knees.

Judging by the smell emitted from the coffin, Lu Yao knew that this should be the dried corpse that had been refined to obtain the Living Dead Water, but Lu Yao did not choose to open the coffin immediately.

The coffin was carefully propped up with several sturdy wooden stools. Lu Yao knew that whether it was in ancient times or modern times, there was a saying that coffins must not contact the ground. If they did, they would take root. It was obvious that whoever propped up the coffin also followed this principle.

Lu Yao then came to the iron case that was not tightly closed in the corner.

There was some dust on the box, but there was not much. Obviously, someone had been here not long ago.

The moment the lid was lifted, Lu Yao was a little dumbfounded.

Piles of hundred-yuan bills lay quietly in the box, and there was nothing else but money in the box.

It would not matter if Lu Yao earned this money himself, but he knew the money should have been obtained by Qian Hu through disgraceful means, and it was most likely the money that others spent to save lives.

Lu Yao was not in a hurry to touch the money in the box. After thinking for a while, he finally decided to take the box back and hand it to Jin Yulong, because Jin Yulong was now the person he trusted the most.

They were both cultivators, and they knew some secrets about each other.

After making up his mind, Lu Yao came up to the coffin and slowly opened the lid from one corner of the coffin.

In his line of sight, he saw a corpse with gray, dried skin. It was bony and hollow-chested. It was the same as what was recorded in some fantasy magazines.

"Master, it should be this corpse. Next, I will start to take the rotten flesh in the Haven of Yang-qi that is needed to cure the disease!" Lu Yao cautiously told Li Jiang.

"Okay, there is nothing special about this dried corpse. Don't worry and do it." Li Jiang said.

On the way here, Li Jiang had already told Lu Yao what to do after finding the dried corpse. Therefore, after obtaining Li Jiang's permission, Lu Yao slowly took out a sharp knife from his pocket.

Bit by bit, he removed the flesh he needed from the dried corpse, neither a bit more nor less.

After Lu Yao got the things he needed to treat Ma Qingxue, he carried the iron case and walked towards the city.

He followed the first thought that flashed through his mind and slowly handed over the case of money to Jin Yulong.

Then, under Jin Yulong's approving gaze, he left the martial arts school and went home.
