"Sect Master, you must be very careful later. Don't make a move if you can!"
Standing on a high ground, seeing Liu Qingyun getting closer and closer, Elder Wuyou couldn't help but remind him again. Gu Zheng was the hope of the entire Emei, and he must not have any accidents.
"Elders, don't worry. But Gu An, you really have to be careful later."
Gu Zheng's eyes were solemn. He reached out and patted Gu An's shoulder. This would be a battle that all of them had to be extremely careful, especially him and Gu An, who were very weak.
"Yes, Sect Master!" Gu An answered, his brows were almost twisted into a knot.
Although they had not yet faced the white-clothed old man and the frozen corpses, everyone was on a high ground. With the eyesight of the two elders, Wuyou and Wuchou, they could vaguely see the battle that happened at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, they had a certain degree of understanding of the difficulty of dealing with the frozen corpses.
Logically speaking, since they already had some understanding of the frozen corpses, Gu Zheng's group should avoid them. After all, there were twenty-seven frozen corpses. Among them, the only ones who could truly contend against the frozen corpses were Elder Wuyou and Elder Wuchou. Staying behind was truly an unwise decision.
However, the white-clothed old man was also a thorn in the flesh for Gu Zheng and the others. In addition, the most important thing to rely on was that Elder Wuchou had the unique flying knife skill!
Generally speaking, the range of the internal strength that could leave the body to injure the enemy was relatively limited. If one wanted to attach the internal strength to the hidden weapon and make a long-distance attack, one must first have a special cultivation method. After all, the internal strength would not obediently stay on the hidden weapon and not disappear.
The enemy was a cultivator. Elder Wuchou's flying knife was bound to be unable to hit the target like 'Xiao Li's Flying Knife', but its destructive power was definitely stronger than 'Xiao Li's Flying Knife'.
If they could use the flying knife to interrupt the Chi Ba Music, the twenty-seven troublesome frozen corpses would become paper tigers. It was not impossible to take the opportunity to get rid of the white-clothed old man who was already injured.
This was their biggest reliance. In addition, it would be more dangerous to take the dangerous road at this time. Once the people behind caught up, it would be very likely to cause a more serious disaster. It was better to stay and fight, and take a gamble.
The person was about to arrive, the sound came first!
The sharp sound of the Chi Ba had its intended effect. Gu Zheng and the others' heads began to hurt, and their inner strength also became sluggish.
Although Gu Zheng and Gu An's strength were not good, the Chi Ba Music only gave them a headache for a few seconds longer than the two elders, and it did not cause any serious damage.
"Weapon's spirit, we're close enough, right? What are those humanoid monsters? "
Gu Zheng asked another question that he was very curious about.
Previously, Wuchou Wuchou Wuchou't, Wuchou, wuchou Wuchou, Wuchou, Wuchou …. And now, the frozen corpse was very close to them.
........................................................
"Worriless, Worriless, what are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and help!" Liu Qingyun shouted.
....'t
"Turn around and counterattack!"
Wuchou and Wuchou Wuchou shouted at the same time and rushed toward the white-clothed old man.
The white-clothed old man was very cautious. He slowed down and fell behind the undecaying corpses. Gu Zheng and the others dared to stay, in his opinion, they must have something to rely on! Therefore, he gave up on letting the undecaying corpses chase after Liu Qingyun, and decided to test Wuyou and Wuchou's strength first.
"You guys hold them off first. Let me adjust my breath first!"
Liu Qingyun was finally not the target of the undecaying corpses. He quickly took out a pill and sat cross-legged on the ground to adjust his breath.
Wuyou and Wuchou Wuchou knew how difficult it was to deal with the undecaying corpses, so they did not want to waste time on them. While dodging, they kept getting closer to the white-clothed old man.
Unfortunately, thoughts were never reality. The enemy would not follow your routine. Under the white-clothed old man's control, Wuyou and Wuchou Wuchou could not avoid facing the undecaying corpses.
"Clang …"
The sound of metal clashing rang out. The longsword in Elder Wuyou's hand cleaved onto an undecaying corpse, creating sparks.
He already knew that the undecaying corpses were very difficult to deal with. But when the awkward situation where a sword could only leave an inch-deep wound appeared, Elder Wuyou's expression turned even darker.
He signaled Elder Wuchou with his eyes. Elder Wuyou shook his hand and a ball of sword flowers entangled an undecaying corpse that wanted to block Elder Wuchou.
Elder Wuchou understood and seized the opportunity to close in on the white-clothed old man.
The white-clothed old man's brows furrowed. Seeing that Elder Wuchou was more dangerous, he immediately pulled away.
"Old man, don't run. If you have the guts, let's exchange a few moves!"
In his nature, Elder Wuchou had a somewhat childish personality. Seeing that the white-clothed old man avoided the fight, he immediately used words to provoke him. He hoped that the white-clothed old man would be like a crow with meat in its mouth, directly opening his mouth to cry out when agitated.
The white-clothed old man did not fall for it and glared fiercely at Elder Wuchou.
"Damn old man, there are actually a few women among these ancient corpses. You wouldn't be having an affair with them, right? Otherwise, why would they be so desperate? "
Elder Wuchou continued to attack with words, but his heart was extremely anxious.
Under the influence of the Eight Shaku Melody, his inner strength was sluggish, causing his speed to slow down. It would take some time for Elder Wuchou to approach the injured Snow Leopard. Moreover, Elder Wuchou was already surrounded by the undecaying corpses, and behind him were seven undecaying corpses. If the white-clothed old man had not cautiously pulled away, he was afraid that he would have encountered the undecaying corpses behind him.
However, this time, Elder Wuchou's verbal attack was effective. The white-clothed old man, whose eyes were filled with anger, immediately wanted to kite him.
"Go!"
In an instant, the appropriate distance was reached. Elder Wuchou's hand that was touching his waist trembled, and a flying knife flashed with cold light as it left his hand.
In the whistling sound of the wind, the three-inch long flying knife shot towards the tendons on the Snow Leopard's leg! Although the flying knife was short, the energy attached to it could cause piercing damage to the target, and its power was quite astonishing.
"Clang …" The cautious white-clothed old man used the Eight Shaku Melody in his hand to deflect the flying knife.
Without the control of the Eight Shaku Melody, the undecaying corpses immediately stopped their movements. The situation was great!
"Whoosh …"
Elder Wuchou's second flying knife left his hand. The white-clothed old man waved the Eight Shaku Melody again, and the flying knife was deflected again.
At this point, without the interference of the Eight Shaku Melody, Elder Wuchou seemed to have locked onto the white-clothed old man, forcing him to be unable to play the Eight Shaku Melody, and unable to break free from the situation of being held back. At the same time, Elder Wuchou had also broken free and was quickly rushing over here.
"Bastard!"
The white-clothed old man shouted angrily. Before Elder Wuchou's third flying knife was released, he used the inner energy in one hand to draw a shield in front of him, blocking the flying knife that followed closely behind.
"Firmament Palm!" At this moment, Elder Wuchou, who had finally rushed to the front, pushed out both palms at the same time.
The powerful inner energy turned into a huge palm, driving the snow on the ground, and attacked the white-clothed old man with an earth-shattering force.
"Ao …"
The Snow Leopard suddenly roared, and the fur on its back stood up. It actually jumped more than thirty meters away as if it was flying, dodging Elder Wuchou's fatal attack.
However, the abnormal jump obviously caused great damage to the Snow Leopard. Its body was trembling, and blood was flowing out of its orifices. It lay on the ground, unable to get up!
"All of you deserve to die!"
The white-clothed old man looked at the heavily injured Snow Leopard, and blew the Eight Shaku Melody again.
The undecaying corpses moved again, but this time, their route was different.
Six undecaying corpses rushed toward Wuchou and Wuchou, eight toward the white-clothed old man, and the remaining thirteen headed straight for Gu Zheng and the rest on the mountain peak!
The undecaying corpses attacking Gu Zheng was the situation that Elder Wuchou and Elder Wuchou did not want to see the most!
"Sect Leader, be careful!"
Elder Wuchou retreated. He wanted to protect Gu Zheng.
"You deserve to die too!"
The undecaying corpses rushing toward Gu Zheng made Elder Wuchou extremely furious. Under the interference of the undecaying corpses, he tried his best to rush toward the white-clothed old man.
The distance of more than thirty meters was quickly closed by Elder Wuchou. However, the eight undecaying corpses that rushed toward the white-clothed old man had already surrounded him, acting as a meat wall.
"Whoosh …" Elder Wuchou's fourth flying knife was blocked by an undecaying corpse, and it did not hurt the white-clothed old man at all.
"Whoosh …"
One of the undecaying corpses behind Elder Wuchou waved the long steel rod.
"Go to hell!"
Elder Wuchou, who exploded with a burst of energy, turned his body to the side, and raced against time to throw out the fifth flying knife.
This time, the flying knife successfully passed through the gap between the undecaying corpses, and pierced the white-clothed old man's thigh!
The white-clothed old man's head hurt so much that his whole body was trembling. Blood flowed down his thigh, but this beast did not stop blowing the Eight Shaku Melody!
"Ah …"
Elder Wuchou cried out in pain. He turned his body and only avoided the attack of the long steel rod, but he did not completely avoid it. The heavy long steel rod directly sent him flying.
On the mountain top, Elder Wuchou wanted to protect Gu Zheng, but he was surrounded by several undecaying corpses, and could not protect Gu Zheng at all.
Gu Zheng frowned, and he was a little anxious. These undecaying corpses were very strong. With his fighting strength, he was no match for them at all. He could use his movement technique to avoid them, but how long could he avoid them? In the end, he would still be trapped.
If nothing special happened, the two elders and Gu An might die here today. Gu Zheng came here to search for treasures, not to throw away his life. He had to solve the problem at hand.
"What do I do? What do I do? "
Gu Zheng's immortal energy circulated. The more dangerous it was, the clearer his thoughts became.
With a flash of inspiration, Gu Zheng thought of a possibility.
"The Mind Soothing Art is an immortal art. It can calm Wang Dong and restore Yang Jie and Jie Hao, who were confused by the Eye of the Black Fox. Can it be used on the undecaying corpses?"
"Before the Black Fox ran away, Yang Jie and Jie Hao danced under its control, and the white-clothed old man used the Eight Shaku Melody to control the undecaying corpses. The two should be similar, right? After the Black Fox left, Yang Jie and Jie Hao became sluggish, and after the Eight Shaku Melody stopped, the undecaying corpses fell silent. There are similarities between them! "
In an instant, Gu Zheng's mind raced.
"Not bad, you finally thought of this idea. Since you have thought of it, try it quickly. The situation is very bad now."
The Artifact Spirit's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind. Although it did not directly confirm, it undoubtedly told Gu Zheng that his idea was correct.
The Artifact Spirit was the most familiar with these immortal arts. If he said it was possible, then it was definitely possible. As the undecaying corpses approached, Gu Zheng immediately tried it.
"Mind Calming Art!"
Using the Mind Calming Art was very simple. It was a low-level immortal art that required very little immortal energy. With Gu Zheng's current strength, he could use the Mind Calming Art with a raise of his hand.
Unfortunately, after using the Mind Calming Art, the undecaying corpses only swayed a little before continuing to charge at Gu Zheng.
On the other side, in the face of the troublesome undecaying corpses, Liu Qingyun had also stopped regulating his breathing and punched vigorously. However, he was only fighting against the undecaying corpses by himself. It was impossible for him to protect Gu Zheng or Gu An. He was only protecting himself.
Gu Zheng was still fine. The immortal energy in his body was not affected by the Eight Shaku Melody. Although he tried to get close to the undecaying corpses, he still had the ability to protect himself with the Ethereal Body Illusion Art.
On the other hand, Gu An's situation was not optimistic. Affected by the stagnation of his inner strength, his speed was greatly reduced, and it was quite difficult for him to dodge. If not for the fact that the undecaying corpses' primary target was Liu Qingyun, and if not for Gu Zheng's occasional help, he would have collapsed in a very short time.
"Old man, are you blind? It's not like I crippled your snow leopard! "
Liu Qingyun was anxious. Although they had only fought for a moment, there were too many undecaying corpses, causing the little bit of strength he had just recovered to be consumed at a very fast speed. If this continued, his ending would not be any better. He would definitely not be any better than Qiao Xishan, who he had left behind and died miserably.
"Are you still human?"
Gu Zheng glared. He really felt that Liu Qingyun was not human. In fact, it was fine for Liu Qingyun to regulate his breathing a little later. However, if he had not been so cunning and had followed the two elders to deal with the white-clothed old man, the battle would have been over by now.
"What did you say?" Liu Qingyun was furious and punched at Gu Zheng.
Liu Qingyun was already very unhappy with Gu Zheng. Now that the situation was special, it made him want to kill him.
"Sect Master, be careful!"
Gu An roared. Without any hesitation, he threw his body at Liu Qingyun.
With the Ethereal Illusion Technique, Gu Zheng, who had been on guard all along, was not injured by Liu Qingyun's punch.
However, Gu An, who had rushed to save him in a moment of desperation, was not so lucky.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Gu An was not as strong as Liu Qingyun. In addition, he was restricted. He was caught by Liu Qingyun in an instant. After Liu Qingyun lifted him up, he was ruthlessly thrown at the undecaying corpse.
"Ah …"
Gu An screamed. His waist was hit by the undecaying corpse's heavy mace, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
"Liu Qingyun!"
Gu Zheng roared. If he had the strength, he would definitely kill Liu Qingyun. However, he did not have the strength to kill Liu Qingyun now. He could only secretly swear in his heart and use the Ethereal Illusion Technique to save Gu An first.
"Didn't you say that I'm not human? Then I'll show you that I'm not human! "
Liu Qingyun laughed maniacally. Then, he crushed an elixir that he had been hiding in his hand.
The crushed elixir turned into a white mist beside Liu Qingyun that could not be dispersed by the wind.
The elixir was not special. It only had the effect of blinding one's vision. During the fight with the undecaying corpse, Liu Qingyun discovered that this seemingly ordinary elixir could make the undecaying corpse lose its target. Although this effect lasted for a very short time and the white-robed old man could command the undecaying corpse to forcefully track its target, it was the best to use it at this moment.
Although the undecaying corpse was controlled by the white-robed old man, it was not absolutely agile. When they lost track of their target, they would attack the nearest target. In this case, there would be a transition time of about ten seconds before they received new orders.
Ten seconds was not a lot of time, but it was enough for Liu Qingyun, who was running away.
Liu Qingyun ran. He skied to the bottom of the mountain as fast as he could.
In for a penny, in for a pound. When he reached the bottom of the mountain, Liu Qingyun's internal energy transformed into a palm wind and struck the snow.
The reason why Gu Zheng and company were waiting at the top of the mountain was because it was easy to encounter an avalanche on the way down the mountain. Liu Qingyun had deliberately made the snow fall like a waterfall.
Liu Qingyun's actions did not directly affect Gu Zheng and company, but it was a measure to cover their retreat! Any existence that tried to chase after him during an avalanche would be swallowed up by the avalanche.
The speed of the avalanche was extremely fast, and Liu Qingyun didn't even dare to turn his head back. He directly ran into the distance. As an Elder of a large sect, after causing the death of his own companion, he framed the fellow Daoist who had helped him stop the enemy and ran away.
Gu Zheng was right. Such a treacherous person could no longer be called a human.
"Bastard!" Gu Zheng cursed at Liu Qingyun's back.
The situation became even more dangerous. Elder Wuchou was injured, and his life was in danger as he was chased by several undecaying corpses. Elder Wuyou was also injured. He was dodging the undecaying corpses with difficulty, trying to attract more undecaying corpses to share some of the pressure on Gu Zheng.
Seven undecaying corpses were chasing after Gu Zheng. If not for his Ethereal Illusion Technique, he would have died many times over.
Using the Ethereal Illusory Technique to evade the attacks was not a long-term solution. The Celestial Technique drained his Celestial Force, and he could not afford to waste it as he wished. Moreover, he was carrying the unconscious Gu An in his arms. He did not have much time left.
Gu Zheng was burning with anxiety. He used the Mind Calming Technique on another undecaying corpse.
In the past, when he used the Mind Calming Technique, Gu Zheng felt as if he had raised his hand and waved a wind. The wind would blow away some bad things in the body of the recipient. The whole process was very simple.
However, when he used the Mind Calming Technique on the undecaying corpses, Gu Zheng felt as if a gentle breeze had blown on sand. The wind was too weak, causing the sand to sway but not roll.
It had a little effect, but it was unable to achieve the ultimate goal. This made Gu Zheng very vexed.
The feeling of rolling, but not rolling, had always been there from the beginning. It had always been a hair's breadth away.
"How do I break it? What do I do? "Gu Zheng kept trying to think of a solution.
"Your current Mind Calming Technique is still too weak. The power of the Mind Calming Technique will increase with the number of times it is used. You can also see this process as an accumulation of proficiency. Now, there is only one more time before the power of the Mind Calming Technique increases! "
The Artifact Spirit's voice suddenly rang out in Gu Zheng's mind. This made the anxious Gu Zheng's eyes light up.
When he used the Mind Calming Technique again, Gu Zheng instantly felt something move in his mind. His understanding of the Mind Calming Technique also deepened.
Delighted, Gu Zheng reached out with his hand and used the Mind Calming Technique on one of the undecaying corpses.
It felt as if the sand that couldn't be blown away by the wind was swept away. The undecaying corpse, which had already raised its weapon, was frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
"It's done!" Gu Zheng exclaimed as he reached out with his hand again. The other undecaying corpse also stopped moving.
Undecaying corpses were corpses, but they still had certain instincts and judgment. They weren't much different from animals without intelligence. The Mind Calming Technique could be used on all animals, so it wasn't surprising that it worked on undecaying corpses as well.
Actually, the simpler the intelligence, the better the effect of the Mind Calming Technique. Although it was a low-level immortal technique, it was still an immortal technique. On Earth, where there was no immortal power, even a low-level immortal technique would be very powerful.
The Mind Calming Technique was similar to many other immortal techniques. The more it was used, the more proficient it would become. Gu Zheng hadn't used the Mind Calming Technique many times, so he was always a little short of pacifying the undecaying corpses. After using it many times, he finally reached the level required to pacify the undecaying corpses and succeeded.
He could get rid of an undecaying corpse with a wave of his hand. In a short time, none of the undecaying corpses that had been surrounding Gu Zheng could move.
When Gu Zheng arrived in front of Elder Wu You, he discreetly signaled with his eyes before the latter's shocked eyes. Elder Wu You, who had been freed, immediately rushed toward the old man in white.
Gu Zheng was afraid that the old man in white would run away. If he couldn't kill him under such circumstances, then it would be difficult to kill him after he recovered from his injuries.
The old man in white couldn't understand why the undecaying corpses wouldn't listen to his orders. Despair began to spread in his eyes.
The old man in white had been controlling the undecaying corpses almost continuously. His injuries were extremely serious now, so to him, this was a battle of life and death. If he didn't die, then he would break the net.
Seeing Elder Wu You rushing over, the undecaying corpses that had been guarding the old man in white all went to meet him.
Elder Wu You turned around and led the undecaying corpses that had been following him toward Gu Zheng. Since the undecaying corpses were easy for Gu Zheng to deal with, he didn't need to waste his energy on them.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Gu Zheng moved like the wind. In an extremely short period of time, another dozen or so undecaying corpses were taken care of. Now, the only undecaying corpses left were the ones chasing after Elder Wu Chou.
"Sect Master, save me!" Elder Wu Chou shouted and led the undecaying corpses toward Gu Zheng.
Elder Wu Chou naturally saw that the situation had taken a turn for the better. Ecstatic, he dragged his heavily injured body and finally approached Gu Zheng.
However, this time, before Gu Zheng could use the Mind Calming Technique, the undecaying corpses had already stopped moving. The escaping old man in white gave up playing the ruler eight. The snow leopard was heavily injured and no longer had the ability to take him away. He was also heavily injured. Once the undecaying corpses lost control, he had nowhere to run.
Since he couldn't run, he might as well give up resisting. The old man in white was quickly subdued by Elder Wu You.
Just in case, Gu Zheng also used the Mind Calming Technique on the motionless undecaying corpses. Only then did he relax and let out a long sigh.
Looking at the messy snow mountain, Gu Zheng had an indescribable feeling in his heart. The situation had changed too quickly!
When his tense nerves finally relaxed, Gu Zheng felt like he was about to collapse. This was the most thrilling battle he had ever fought since he became Gokusen's successor.
Elder Wu Chou went to look after Gu An, while Gu Zheng dragged his exhausted body toward Elder Wu You.
"Weapon Spirit, what grade of ingredient is this snow leopard?"
The heavily injured giant snow leopard had already been dealt with by Elder Wu You. Looking at the huge creature on the ground, Gu Zheng asked the Weapon Spirit.
"Trash ingredient," the Weapon Spirit said indifferently.
Gu Zheng frowned. He still had hope for the snow leopard and the Giant Wolf, but who would have thought that the ingredients of these beasts were all so terrible!
"I didn't expect you to be able to deal with the undecaying corpses. If it weren't for you, they would have all died. I hate you, I hate you!"
Looking at the approaching Gu Zheng, the extremely weak old man in white gnashed his teeth.
"Do you think I don't hate you for causing my disciples to be injured?" Gu Zheng sneered.
"Who are you?" Elder Wu You shouted. He released his inner force and poked the old man in white several times.
"Ah …" The old man in white squealed like a pig being slaughtered.
"You want to know who I am? I won't tell you. Even if you kill me, it's useless. The danger won't end with my death. Don't even think about getting the Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed. Don't even think about it! "
The white-robed old man appeared to be very agitated. He bared his teeth as if he was about to bite someone. Very quickly, after he finished shouting, the expression on his face did not change at all.
Elder Wu You checked the old man's body and then shook his head.
"Sect Master, he used some method to kill himself."
"Look around and see if there's anything among his belongings that can be used to deduce his identity."
Gu Zheng frowned. The old man in white's words before he died made him feel that this guy seemed to have an accomplice.
Elder Wu You searched the white-clothed old man's corpse. Other than his Chi Ba, the only thing that looked "decent" was a piece of jade hidden in his clothes.
"This shaba has nothing special except for the fact that it's made of metal. This piece of jade has nothing special other than its appearance. It's not easy to deduce his identity from these two things. "
Elder Wu You shook his head and handed the shaba and jade to Gu Zheng.
"The shaba is indeed an ordinary thing, but this piece of jade is a bit interesting. This is a product of your Earth's Flourishing Era."
Gu Zheng had just held the shaba and jade in his hand when the voice of the weapon spirit sounded.
"Oh? A product of the Flourishing Era? Is this a magic weapon? "
Gu Zheng played with the white jade in his hand. Its shape was very strange, it looked like the Yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram.
"It's not an artifact. Someone has placed something similar to a 'restriction' inside it. There should be another half of it. Without seeing the other half, I can't determine what it's used for." After hearing the artifact spirit's answer, Gu Zheng put the jade away.
"By the way, Weapon Spirit, do we need to deal with these undecaying corpses? Can they still be used by bad people?"
"There's no need. In addition to calming the mind, the Calming Technique also has a strong purification effect. The thing that allowed the undecaying corpses to be preserved until now has been purified by you. They are now just a little stronger than ordinary corpses."
Hearing the artifact spirit's words, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that these undecaying corpses would not be used by other evil cultivators. If they could be refined into powerful undecaying corpses, then they would have to destroy them all. The best way was to burn them all, leaving nothing behind.
This was a snowy mountain, there was not even a piece of wood. Gu Zheng could control fire, but if he purely used fire control to deal with these undecaying corpses, it would take a long time and he would be exhausted. It would be even more difficult to explain to Wuyou and the others.
He was not an immortal cultivator. It was fine if he had some special abilities, but he could also use a regular immortal technique. Anyone who saw this would be shocked. It was not that he did not believe in Wuyou and the others, but this kind of thing, the less people knew, the better.
Now that there was no need to deal with these corpses, Gu Zheng was a lot more relaxed.
Not dealing with them, just not burning them. Gu Zheng still planned to bury all these undecaying corpses under the snow. The environment here was very bad, but there were still adventure enthusiasts who liked to come here. If they were discovered by them, they would be scared half to death.
Gu Zheng and Elder Wu You first walked to the other two people's side.
Elder Wuchou was first injured by the long iron rod, and then he was hit several times by the undecaying corpses. Although his injuries were more serious, he had already taken healing pills. In addition, Elder Wuchou was a powerhouse of the fifth stage. These injuries would heal a little in two or three days, and he would be fully recovered in no time.
Gu An was injured by the heavy rod, and he was knocked unconscious. Although he was awake now, his spine was injured, and he could not stand up on his own.
"With Gu An's current condition, with the help of the medicinal pills and the massage of my fifth stage inner strength, he should be able to walk by this time tomorrow. However, if he wants to fully recover, it will probably take eight to nine days. "Elder Wuyou sighed.
Gu An was indeed seriously injured. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago. Therefore, even if he could manage to walk tomorrow, he would already be a burden to the whole team. After all, the road ahead was difficult, and time was already very tight.
"Sect Master, I'm sorry. Why don't you help me find a snow cave? I can recuperate in there. You should hurry …"
"What are you talking about?!" Before Gu An could finish, Gu Zheng interrupted him.
"We'll go together. These injuries are nothing."
"Sect Master, I know you care about your disciples, but Gu An's injuries are really not suitable for him to come with us. He has already used the best healing pills in Emei."
Elder Wuchou's expression was also gloomy. Emei's desolation meant that their resources were not as good as the other sects from the Flourishing Era. With Gu An's current injuries, if he took the Bone Replenishing Pill, he would be able to walk normally tomorrow, and he would be completely healed in three or four days. However, Emei had run out of high-grade healing pills like the Bone Replenishing Pill ten years ago.
"There's no need for healing pills. I'll make some good food for you, and these injuries will be nothing!"
Gu Zheng smiled, and the two elders and Gu An's eyes widened.
The two elders and Gu An already had a deep understanding of Gu Zheng's' making something delicious to nourish '. Gu An, who was heavily injured, didn't feel cold at all even though he was lying on the snow. This was the best manifestation of it. To them, Gu Zheng's words meant that some unimaginable delicacy was about to appear.
"Gulp …" Elder Wuchou swallowed his saliva. His neck was injured, and he immediately grimaced in pain.
"Useless!"
Elder Wuyou licked his lips and glared at Elder Wuyou.
Elder Wuyou then seemed to have realized that he had lost his composure. Embarrassed, he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked into the distance.
"Let's set up the tent first. I'll do some preparations!"
What Gu Zheng was going to do this time was naturally the 'Grass Recovery Cultivation Technique'. Some of the materials were stored in the Primitive Dimension, so it was not too shocking for him to take things out of the Primitive Dimension after setting up the tent. As for why a sect leader like him would have something like a live chicken in his backpack, Gu An and the others were puzzled, but they never asked.
"Sect Leader, let me help!" Since he wanted to nourish himself with delicious food, Elder Wuchou was not in a hurry to meditate and absorb the medicinal efficacy of the pill.
"Alright, then set up the stove and start the fire!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"Yes, Sect Leader!" Elder Wuchou beamed and left to get busy.
"It's a pity that I can't help Sect Leader with the fire." Gu An, who was lying on the ground, tried his best to prop up his upper body, his eyes full of regret.
"Just take a good rest!"
Gu Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Gu An like this, he hated Liu Qingyun even more.
"Sect Leader!" Elder Wuyou, who was standing at the edge of the cliff, suddenly turned his head and shouted excitedly.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Come and see what this is!" Elder Wuyou pointed at the cliff with an excited expression.
"I really didn't expect this!" Gu Zheng came to the edge of the cliff to take a look and immediately became excited.
Due to the avalanche earlier, the cliff that was originally covered in snow was exposed. On the slightly sloped cliff, there were more than fifty strange plants growing sporadically.
There were a total of four kinds of strange plants.
The most abundant plant was as long as a chopstick and shaped like a finger.
The second most abundant plant was grayish-white in color and looked like a pine tree, but it was more than ten centimeters tall and was sparkling under the sunlight.
The third most abundant plant was yellowish in color and short like moss.
The least abundant plant had not sprouted yet, but from the shape of its main stem and side branches, it looked like Codonopsis pilosula.
When Gu Zheng saw these plants, the Artifact Spirit also told him the grade of these plants, as well as their uses.
"Sect Leader, what exactly are these things?"
Elder Wuyou could not help but ask. He could not name any of these things, but based on his experience and intuition, he felt that these things were not ordinary.
"Immortal's Finger, Ice Carved Cedar, Cliff Vegetables, and Milk Ginseng."
Gu Zheng answered and then instructed Elder Wuyou to pick them.
The level of the ingredients of the four plants was very good. The Immortal's Finger and Ice Carved Cedar, which were the most abundant, were of the ordinary level, while the Cliff Vegetables and Milk Ginseng were of the inferior level.
