"Boom boom boom!"
When Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, and Bai Yin rushed out of the tomb, a series of explosions came from below. The Purple Snow Flower totem outside the tomb was already trembling, and it was only a matter of time before the inside of the mountain collapsed. The three of them quickly rushed into the lake and swam away from this realm that was about to say goodbye to the world.
Lin Muyu's clothes were soaked by the cold lake water, and she couldn't summon too many Monarch Battle Flames for her battle armor. Fortunately, Tang Xiaoxi was there to take care of her, so she was fine.
When the three of them emerged from the pool in the canyon, it was already dawn of the next day. Time seemed to pass much faster in King Huai's Tomb compared to the outside world. It was very mysterious.
… …
Not far from the shore, the patients with stonecrosis who were in a petrified state let out low wails. They stared at Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, and Bai Yin with eyes full of hatred.
"Go in the opposite direction and avoid them." Lin Muyu said.
"Okay."
Tang Xiaoxi grabbed his arm and swam with him, and Bai Yin swam clumsily with them. It seemed that after this time, Bai Yin would be able to grasp the basic skills of swimming.
After reaching the shore, Bai Yin immediately cupped his fists and said, "Commander, we can't stay here for long. Since we've found what we want, let's hurry back to Lanyan City!"
"No, no hurry …" Lin Muyu waved her hand. "Let's look around and see if there are any Seven-Star Flowers."
"Seven-Star Flowers?" Bai Yin was stunned.
"Yes." Lin Muyu said, "Soul Flowers and Seven-Star Flowers can be mixed together and boiled to form a medicine that will disperse with the wind. Hopefully, it will be able to cure these stonecrosis patients."
Bai Yin narrowed his eyes and said, "Commander, please don't blame Bai Yin for speaking out of turn. These Stoneflookers even tried to harm us before, so why should we waste such a good herb like the Soul Flower to save them?"
Lin Muyu smiled. "That's just their subconscious behavior. Furthermore, they didn't really hurt us. Bai Yin, don't blame me for talking too much. There are thousands of cultivators in the Shattered Cauldron Realm, but why are there so few who can step into the Sanctuary or even the Godly State? To put it bluntly, it's because everyone only cultivates martial arts and not martial ethics. One's state of mind determines one's cultivation. If everyone could think of the common people, I'm afraid there would be more than a hundred Sanctuary experts in the Shattered Cauldron Realm."
Bai Yin was startled, but he respectfully said, "This subordinate admires you."
…
Not long after, Tang Xiaoxi found a patch of Seven-Star Flowers in a valley, which made Lin Muyu extremely happy. She offered up her cooking pot, scooped up a pot of water, and started a fire to boil it. Those Stonecrosis patients could only whimper on the other side of the lake. Their eyesight seemed to be very poor, and they couldn't see the specific location of Lin Muyu and the others at all.
Taking out stalks of Soul Flowers from her Cosmos Sack and arranging them together, Lin Muyu took a deep breath and lightly opened her palm, activating the King's Battle Flame to activate the Condensing Hand. Immediately, the Soul Flowers trembled, and not long after, milky white medicinal essence left the petals and lingered in Lin Muyu's palm. At the same time, Lin Muyu was multitasking, and her other hand was refining the Seven-Star Flowers' medicinal essence. The two kinds of medicinal essence were mixed together, and when the water in the pot boiled, they were thrown in together. Immediately, a faint fragrance wafted in the wind.
This place was upwind, and the medicinal essence floated past, quickly sweeping through the entire valley.
More than two hours later, Bai Yin squinted his eyes at the Stonecrosis patients in the distance, and said, "It seems like … there's no effect, Commander, why don't we give up …"
"No."
Lin Muyu's clear eyes were filled with determination, and said, "Bai Yin, look at the young Stonecrosis patient closest to us, the stone skin on her arm is slowly falling off, and she's bleeding …"
"Ah? It's true … "Bai Yin was dumbfounded.
That's right, the divine detoxification water was known as the world's number one antidote, and its effects were extraordinary fast. The stone scales of the Stonecrosis patients in the distance had already begun to fall off, and after fresh blood flowed out, the skin would begin to regenerate, and at the same time, their lives would be reborn!
Just like that, Bai Yin went to gather firewood, and Tang Xiaoxi brewed the medicine. The three of them stayed here, and for three consecutive days, they helped treat the people in the valley. Although it seemed like a waste of three days, Lin Muyu firmly believed that these three days were not wasted. First, they could save at least a thousand Stonecrosis patients in the valley, and second, they could cultivate their mental states, and cultivate their hearts.
But for those who had truly achieved outstanding achievements in cultivation, which one of them wasn't a compassionate person? God Emperor Fuxi, God Emperor Nuwa, these ancient Gods were all compassionate existences. Take the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor, for example. Although he was a demon, he wasn't completely evil. In front of Lin Muyu, he acted like a big brother. As for Qin Yi, the only person in the Qin Clan who had cultivated to become a God Emperor, his ultimate goal in hunting down the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor was probably to bring peace to the Three Realms.
As for Luo Lan, this first stage God Realm expert had not made any breakthroughs after so many years. It must have something to do with her mental state. If Luo Lan had really cultivated her mental state, she would have long cultivated to become a God King and roamed the Heaven Realm.
… …
Another two days passed, and after a total of five days, the Stonecrosis patients who had been wandering aimlessly in the valley had all gathered together. Many of them let out cries of pain. Just before the sun set, a group of mostly recovered Stonecrosis patients supported each other as they walked around the lake.
"What are they trying to do?" Bai Yin's palm pressed on the hilt of his sword.
"Don't be nervous." Lin Muyu reached out and pressed on the sheath of his sword. "The Stonecrosis in these people has been cured. They are no longer a threat to us. Don't hurt them."
"Yes, Commander!"
At this moment, a group of patients who had just recovered from Stonefall Disease were less than ten meters away from each other. An old man who looked to be in his sixties walked over shakily with the help of a young girl in plain clothes. His murky eyes were filled with gratitude as he said, "Everyone … Young swordsmen, may I ask if it was you who cured us with the smell of the medicinal soup?"
Lin Muyu walked forward and cupped her fists respectfully. "Yes, old man. How long has the Stonecrosis been going on here?"
"About … about three hundred years …" The old man instantly burst into tears. "Our fathers and grandfathers all died in the hands of the Stonecrosis. There are few people in the village who can live past 50 years old. Young hero, it was you who changed the fate of our village. Please accept this old man's salute!"
"Old man, you're welcome."
Lin Muyu directly supported him with her hand. "We're just helping out when we see injustice, hehehe …"
The old man was stunned. There was no such thing as "helping out when we see injustice" in the Shattered Cauldron Realm. This was also one of the reasons why the people of the Shattered Cauldron Realm did not practice martial arts. There was no one who would do justice and help the masses. Even the House of Chivalry was just a name. Real Rangers were no different from mercenaries. They were all people who chased after fame and fortune.
"Young hero, we don't have anything good to give you, but … but we must repay you for saving our lives. So … we can only give you some treasures that our ancestors have kept for many years."
"Oh?"
"Little Yan, Little Qin, bring it over." The old man ordered.
Immediately, two young girls walked forward. They had just recovered, but each held a golden stone in their hands.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but be stunned. "Old man, is this … is this a gold mine? Aha, I think you've misunderstood. We didn't boil the medicine to cure your poison for you to repay us. There's no need for a gold mine! "
The old man shook his head and said with a smile, "Young hero, you've misunderstood. This is not a gold mine. This is a Mysterious Gold Stone. After grinding it into powder, it can be used as a consumable material for writing Heavenly Books. These two Mysterious Gold Stones contain a very rich spiritual power and can be called Mysterious Gold Stones of the highest grade. This is a treasure that has been passed down by our ancestors for hundreds of generations. Although I don't know what it's used for, but … it must be very valuable."
Lin Muyu was speechless.
Tang Xiaoxi gently touched his arm and said with a smile, "Since old man is so sincere, then accept it. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty."
"Alright then …"
Lin Muyu nodded and put the two Mysterious Gold Stones into her Qiankun Bag. She cupped her fists and said, "Thank you, old man."
The old man smiled slightly. "I should be the one thanking you, young hero. You've saved our entire village. From now on, we can finally live like normal people. I wonder if young hero … can you leave some antidotes for us? We still have some people scattered in the jungle at the south of the mountain."
"Sure." Lin Muyu nodded and said, "We'll camp here tonight and set off for the capital tomorrow. I'll take advantage of tonight to refine some antidotes for you."
"Thank you, young hero …" The old man cupped his hands in a trembling manner. His face was full of gratitude. In fact, at his age, he knew that those antidotes were very precious. Most people wouldn't be willing to take them out. However, the young man in front of him was willing to contribute them without hesitation. What a great kindness!
… …
At night, piles of bonfires rose by the lake. This village finally lived a real life for the first time. It was probably the first time many villagers had seen fire. They excitedly danced around the bonfire. Although it was hard to tell what kind of dance they were dancing, it was clear that they were very happy.
Lin Muyu didn't stay idle. She refined the antidote by the lake. The antidote was very simple. The ratio of Soul Flower and Seven Star Flower was 5: 5. Adding some water, it was ready. The only difficulty was extracting the essence of the Soul Flower. This kind of flower was very tender and if one wasn't careful, the fibers would be damaged. Moreover, the essence was very fine. Without a certain level of ability, an alchemist would not be able to refine the essence. Of course, there was no need to mention Lin Muyu, a freak in the alchemy world. With the King's Battle Flame, even a tuft of Taishang Laojun's hair could refine his DNA.
A total of over a hundred bottles of antidote were refined. 50 of them were given to the old village chief. As a token of gratitude, the old village chief gave a whole roasted lamb to Lin Muyu and the others. This was probably the most profitable business in history. 50 bottles of antidote were worth at least 500,000 gold coins, but a whole roasted lamb wasn't even worth 50 silver coins!
Of course, Lin Muyu did not know that the two pieces of Mystical Gold Rock that the old man gave him were top-grade inscription materials. If he knew, he would definitely feel that the 50 bottles of Detoxification Divine Water were truly worth it.
… …
After a night of rest, the next day, they found a warhorse and set off back to Lanyan City. They had been away for too long.
