"Lord Lin Zhi, wake up!"
A servant's voice came from outside the room.
Lin Muyu woke up from his sleep, his aura swirling around him as he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something has happened to Lord Zhang Wei!"
"Ah?"
After a shudder, Lin Muyu was no longer sleepy. He grabbed his clothes and rushed out of the room. Not far away, a cluster of torches flickered in the direction of the training hall. When he got closer, he saw Zhang Wei's bloodied body lying on a long stone at the side of the training hall. Lei Hong, Ge Yang and the other Deacons of the Holy Temple were already there.
"What happened to Zhang Wei?"
Lin Muyu rushed forward and shook Zhang Wei's arm. He didn't move and checked if he was still breathing. He couldn't help but look up, "What happened, Grandpa Lei Hong?"
Lei Hong's face was ashen as he said, "Zhang Wei was attacked on Tongtian Street. Yu, look at the wound on Zhang Wei's back and you'll know."
Two Iron Star instructors walked forward and lifted Zhang Wei's body, only to see that both sides of his spine had been completely minced by the sword qi. It was a bloody mess. Lin Muyu couldn't bear to look at it and turned his head, "Who could be so cruel?"
Ge Yang said with a trembling voice, "Yu, the most cruel thing is not to kill, but to turn people into cripples. The dragon tendons on both sides of Zhang Wei's spine have been destroyed!"
"Dragon tendons?" He was stunned.
Lei Hong said coldly, "The dragon tendons are the two sides of the spine to exert force, just like the string of a longbow. Once the dragon tendons are destroyed, the cultivator's qi and qi will not be able to circulate throughout the body. This person didn't kill Zhang Wei, but turned him into a cripple who can no longer practice martial arts."
"What!?"
Lin Muyu's eyes widened, "Who is it?"
"What do you think?" Reihom said calmly, "No matter what, Zhang Wei is an expert who is about to step into the Heavenly Realm. The person who can subdue Zhang Wei with one move … is probably at least in the Saint Domain. After the Winter Ridge Rebellion hundreds of years ago, there were only a handful of Saint Domain experts in the Empire. Hmph … I can more or less guess who it is."
Ge Yang said from the side, "For now, the most important thing to do is to think of a way to save Zhang Wei. He is our Silver Star instructor, and is about to be promoted to Gold Star instructor. Once he becomes a cripple, his life will be over."
"En. Call the people from the Spiritual Medicine Department over immediately."
…
Not long after, a group of white-robed medical officers from the Spirit Medicine Department entered the temple. They quickly stopped the bleeding and treated Zhang Xuan's injuries. However, their progress did not seem to be very smooth. When the sun rose, the attendant of the Spirit Medicine Department looked at Reihom apologetically and said, "Lord Reihom, Zhang Wei's injuries are too severe. His dragon tendons have been completely shattered and cannot be healed. He can no longer practice martial arts."
Reihom had already guessed that this would be the result. He sighed and smiled. "Thank you all. It wasn't easy to save his life."
The attendant of the Spirit Medicine Department bowed and left.
At this time, Zhang Wei woke up. He lay motionless on the bed, but his fierce eyes were fixed on Reihom. "Chief Attendant …"
"Zhang Wei!"
Reihom's body trembled. "It's okay. You will be healed."
Zhang Wei was surprisingly calm, but there was a trace of despair in his eyes. "Chief Attendant, you don't have to comfort me. I know I'm crippled. My dragon tendons have been severed. Even the gods can't save me."
As he spoke, Zhang Wei looked at Lin Muyu and smiled. "Lin Zhi …"
Lin Muyu walked forward and held onto the bed. "Don't talk. Rest well."
Zhang Wei smiled. "I just want to remind you that there are two people who have offended the Divine Marquis Residence. One is me, and I have already been avenged. The other is you … Lin Zhi, don't underestimate your enemy. The person who ambushed me is very strong. I'm afraid his strength is comparable to Chief Attendant's. You must be careful. I … I, Zhang Wei, have a worthless life.
"No!"
Lin Muyu's voice was calm and determined. "I can heal you!"
"Yu, don't joke around." Reihom said. "The dragon tendons are the foundation of a cultivator. Once they are severed, even the gods can't save you. Moreover, Zhang Wei's dragon tendons were not severed, but crushed!"
"No, Grandpa Reihom, you must believe me." Lin Muyu's eyes were very clear. "Zhang Wei, you must believe me too. Don't give up. I will definitely heal your dragon tendons and restore them to their original state."
"Hmm?" Zhang Wei did not know what he was thinking. He nodded and smiled. "Then … then I'll have to trouble Master Lin Zhi!"
…
Outside the door, Reihom said with some reproach. "Yu, even if you want to comfort Zhang Wei, you don't have to lie, right?"
"No, I'm serious."
Reihom turned around, his eyes filled with suspicion. "How can you heal Zhang Wei's injuries?"
"Grandpa Reihom, have you heard of a medicine called 'Tendon Replenishing Powder'?" Lin Muyu asked seriously.
Lei Hong was immediately startled. Ge Yang, who was standing to the side, stroked his beard and said, "I've heard of a book in the Ze Tian Hall's library. There's a level ten medicine called the Muscle Replenishing Powder that can regenerate muscles and bones, but … but this is only a legend. There hasn't been an alchemy god on this continent for hundreds of years, so who would have the ability to refine the Muscle Replenishing Powder?"
Lin Muyu did not say much. "Then give me some time!"
"Yes!"
Reihom nodded. "I'll allow you half a month's leave. Is that okay?"
"Thank you, Grandpa Reihom!"
"Go!"
…
He led a sturdy warhorse from the temple's stable and galloped toward the trading center of Lanyan City. At the same time, he tried his best to recall the recipe for the Tendon Replenishing Powder. Dragon Tendon Vine and Luminous Night Grass were two level 10 medicinal herbs that were very rare. He would try his luck at the Empire's medicine shop!
As he galloped, he called out, "Lulu?"
Whoosh!
The beautiful elven official flew out. She was still wearing a green dress that was as thin as a cicada's wings in the cold autumn weather. She smiled and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Did you see Dragon Tendon Vine and Luminous Night Grass when you were drawing the map in the Dragon Seeking Forest? If you did, mark them on the map for me, okay? "Lin Muyu said urgently.
Lulu sat on his shoulder and shook her head. "I haven't seen them. They're too rare. Also, Lulu's spiritual energy isn't enough to fly too far."
"Okay, I'll go ask myself!"
Not long after, Lin Muyu arrived at the Imperial Merchant Firm and immediately went to find Third Fatty Jin. Third Fatty Jin immediately beamed when he saw Lin Muyu, "Master, are you going to buy some Seven-Colored Lotuses again? I've already prepared them for you! "
"No need."
Lin Muyu shook her head and asked, "Boss Jin, do you have Dragon Tendon Vine and Luminous Night Grass for sale?"
Third Fatty Jin was stunned. "They're both level 10 medicinal herbs …"
"Yes, do you have them?"
Third Fatty Jin said awkwardly, "Although there are all sorts of medicinal herbs in the imperial trading center, we don't have the two that you want. It's said that Dragon Tendon Vine only grows in the gaps in the spine of a dragon, and its fertilizer is dragon tendon. Luminous Night Grass is no different from other weeds. The only thing special about it is that it can emit light at night. We … don't have either."
"Then … thank you …"
Lin Muyu felt a little lonely. She thought of Zhang Wei's miserable appearance. In a sense, Zhang Wei ended up like this because of her. Even if she had to do everything she could, she had to heal his crippled body. This was what a man should do.
When he saw Lin Muyu's disappointed expression, Third Fatty Jin smiled. "I heard that the Duke of Seven Seas' residence has many precious medicinal herbs. Many of them were collected by Duke Canglan's people. Master, you can try your luck at the Duke of Seven Seas' residence. If you really can't find them … With your status as the Divine Palace's Golden Star, you should be able to go to the Ze Tian Palace's Medicine Pavilion. You might be able to find them."
"Okay, thank you!"
Lin Muyu nodded, turned around and left the medicine shop.
… …
In less than ten minutes, the warhorse stopped in front of the Duke of Seven Seas' residence. Lin Muyu dismounted and carried the Burning Prairie Sword on her back. She cupped her fists at the guards and said, "Divine Palace's Lin Zhi requests an audience with Princess Xi. Please help me pass the message."
One of the guards nodded respectfully and returned not long after entering the residence. He performed an empire's military salute and said, "Lord Lin Zhi, the Princess invites you in. She's waiting for you in the front hall!"
"Thank you!"
The Duke of Seven Seas' residence was like a large garden. It made Lin Muyu feel like he was entering a tiger hill. There were guards all along the way, as if to show off the strength of the Seven Seas City's army. The front hall was not far away. When he arrived, Tang Xiaoxi had already walked out in a beautiful red and white dress. Her little boots stepped on the red maple leaves on the ground. She smiled and said, "Mu, you finally saw me?"
Looking at Tang Xiaoxi's happy and beautiful face, he was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Xiao Xi, I actually came here with a request …"
"Hmph, I knew it. Say it, what's the matter?" Tang Xiaoxi was not unhappy at all.
"I heard that the Duke of Seven Seas' residence has stored many precious medicinal herbs. I especially need two kinds of medicinal herbs now. I wonder if Xiao Xi can help …" He said very awkwardly.
Tang Xiaoxi blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Actually, I'm not very clear about the classification of the medicinal herbs in the residence. But since you need them, let's go and take a look?"
"En!"
Tang Xiaoxi reached out and pulled him into the depths of the residence. They found the official in charge of safekeeping in the medicinal herb storehouse. In the end, after looking through the records for a long time, they couldn't find the two medicinal herbs. Lin Muyu felt a little disappointed and her brows furrowed.
"Do you need these two medicinal herbs urgently?" Tang Xiaoxi asked with concern.
"En, to save my life." Lin Muyu murmured, "The medicinal essence of the Dragon Tendon Vine and Luminous Night Grass, as well as the blood of the Needlepoint Bird, can be refined into a level ten medicine called Tendon Replenishment Powder. The greatest effect of Tendon Replenishment Powder is to regenerate the muscles and bones. It has the effect of almost bringing the dead back to life."
Tang Xiaoxi's eyes widened. "You … you're doing this to save Zhang Wei, aren't you?"
"En." Lin Muyu did not deny it. She looked deeply at Tang Xiaoxi and said, "Zhang Wei is my friend. He was killed because he went with me to investigate the case of Little Beansprout's parents. Now that Zhang Wei's tendons have been crushed by a mysterious expert, I have no reason to stand by and do nothing!"
Tang Xiaoxi clasped her hands in front of her and suddenly smiled. "Although we can find the Dragon Tendon Vine and Luminous Night Grass in the Duke of Seven Seas' residence, but … but we still have a place to try our luck. Who knows, there might be some!"
"What place?"
"The Medicine Pavilion of Ze Tian Palace!" Tang Xiaoxi was smiling brightly in the slight autumn wind, and the bowknot on her hair was like a fiery red butterfly.
