Uncle Cheng put down the wine bowl and looked at Gu Zheng. His lips trembled for a long time, as if he had mustered up his courage, and finally spoke.
"Esteemed guest, are you really willing to help us? We're poor! For my mother's illness, I've begged a lot of people, but they were all helpless! "
Uncle Cheng cried. He was a big man, but he cried so sadly.
The pillar of the family cried. Aunt Cheng and Xiaobao immediately cried as well. Even the old man in the room, who had been silent all this time, also cried.
"Don't cry. Tell me what's going on first!"
Although Gu Zheng didn't like people being too enthusiastic, he still felt their simplicity, hospitality, and filial piety ever since he came to the Cheng family. Now, the whole family was crying, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Don't be poor, don't be sick! This was a common principle everywhere. From the situation of Old Cheng's family, Gu Zheng could tell what kind of difficulties this family had experienced in order to treat the old man's illness!
While the Yang siblings weren't paying attention, Gu Zheng's fingers flicked repeatedly, and the calming spell was used on the Cheng family members. The crying soon stopped.
Old Cheng finally told the story that had already become a scar in his heart.
Many years ago, Old Cheng's mother suddenly contracted a strange illness. This strange illness hurt when she saw people, and her eyes would bleed when she saw light.
In order to treat his mother, Old Cheng had tried everything. He had looked for all the doctors on Foggy Wind Island. He had even knelt in front of the mountain gate of the Tianxin Sect for two days and two nights, begging an elder of the Tianxin Sect to treat his mother.
However, all his efforts were in vain. Not only did Old Cheng's mother's illness not get better, but it worsened. His eyes were gradually losing their sight. Even if he lived in a place with a little more people, he would feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, although the illness was strange, it didn't kill her. Old Cheng had no choice but to take his family and move to the deep mountains and forests.
Although he lived deep in the mountains, Old Cheng didn't give up on treating his mother's illness. He hunted, picked herbs, farmed, and fished. He did everything he could. The resources he exchanged for would be handed over to the people of the Tianxin Sect. When they left the island to buy things, they would help seek medical treatment from the outside world.
The islanders were not allowed to leave the island. This was the rule of the Heaven's Will Sect. It was also the rule of all the cultivators on the islands.
Old Cheng had already violated the island's rules by asking someone to help him seek medical treatment. After the Tianxin Sect found out about this matter, although they didn't punish him, it could be considered as cutting off Old Cheng's path.
These things had all happened before Xiao Bao was born. After Xiao Bao was born, the old lady no longer allowed Old Cheng to spend any money on her illness. Otherwise, she would rather die immediately!
Old Cheng was a filial son. His mother was like this, but he couldn't do anything. This matter slowly became a scar in his heart until Gu Zheng arrived.
After Old Cheng finished speaking, the whole family looked at Gu Zheng expectantly.
"Can you let me take a look at the elderly first?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Sure!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't shake his head and sigh like ordinary people, Old Cheng and his wife immediately became spirited and hurriedly ran into the inner room.
The old lady had a knot in her heart. Old Cheng and his wife were doing her job.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you know what illness Grandma Cheng has? Are you confident that you can cure it? "Yang Zhenling's eyes were filled with hope.
"As for what illness it is, I need to wait for the old lady to come over and take a look before I can make a conclusion. However, Fellow Daoist Yang, don't worry. Since I'm in charge of this matter, I'll definitely do my best! "Gu Zheng said seriously.
"Alright, with Fellow Daoist Gu's words, I'm relieved!"
Yang Zhenling cupped her fists to Gu Zheng to show her gratitude.
Old Cheng and his wife finally convinced the old lady. The two of them helped her out on both sides.
The old man was wearing a black robe with a big hat on it. His whole body was covered from head to toe.
"Greetings, esteemed guest!"
The old lady wanted to bow, but she was lifted up by Gu Zheng with his immortal power.
"Old lady, there's no need to be so polite. Let me take a look at your situation first."
"Esteemed guest, please wait. This old lady hasn't seen the sun for many years, and her face is already very scary. I hope you won't scare the esteemed guest."
In the face of the old lady's kind reminder, Gu Zheng smiled slightly. "Old lady, you don't have to take off your veil. I'm looking at the inside. You just have to stretch out your hand and let me send my inner strength into your body."
"Alright, I'll have to trouble you."
The old lady reached out to take off her gloves, but she was held down by Gu Zheng. After all, he was not a doctor who needed to take her pulse. He did not need to touch her skin.
After sending his immortal power into the old lady's body, Gu Zheng immediately checked her internal organs, bones, and blood. Nothing was left out.
"I knew from the start that a disease that could render so many people helpless must be an unusual disease! Now it seems that this illness is more difficult to deal with than I imagined! "
Gu Zheng muttered in his heart. He had already discovered the root of the old lady's illness! However, this illness was born in the blood. Even if he used his immortal power to expel the bad substances from the blood, it was only a temporary solution.
"Weapon Spirit, can I use the Evil Expelling Spiritual Pill to cure this illness?" Gu Zheng asked.
The Evil Expelling Spiritual Pill specialized in curing difficult and complicated illnesses. Back when Gu Zheng was on Mount Shu, Xuan Qizi had given Gu Zheng a very precious Evil Expelling Spiritual Pill as an apology.
"Although the Evil Expelling Spiritual Pill is good, it's not an immortal pill!"
The Artifact Spirit paused for a moment before continuing, "This disease is called 'Blood Evil'. It's a very difficult disease to deal with. You originally had an elixir that could cure this disease, but you used it up."
The moment the artifact spirit said this, Gu Zheng understood. Back when he was doing a mission, he had obtained an Immortal Dew Pill that could cure any disease. Unfortunately, this Immortal Dew Pill was later used to save Luo Xiao in the Ruins of Shu.
"You still have Immortal Dew Pills, right? Can you give me one first, and I'll make up for the mission later? "Gu Zheng smiled at the Weapon Spirit.
The Weapon Spirit, who was sitting on a rock in the garden, shook his head and said apologetically, "Gu Zheng, the mission to get the Immortal Dew Pill is very strict. I can't change it at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have quarreled with you when you used it to save Luo Xiao."
"Besides the Immortal Dew Pill, is there any other way?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Yes! This method only requires immortal power. I can tell you for free, but using this method to cure the Blood Evil is very slow. The treatment process will take a month. Can you wait? "
The Weapon Spirit paused and then said, "Also, the Blood Evil is a genetic illness. Although it only appears in women, it can be transmitted to men! Old Cheng and Little Bao both have the Blood Evil. As long as they have a girl in the future, once she's over 40 years old, the Blood Evil may act up at any time! "
"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng glared at the Weapon Spirit.
Gu Zheng understood that the Weapon Spirit deliberately told him this. His goal was to make him stay.
After all, since Gu Zheng had interfered in this matter, he would want it to have a perfect ending! If a month's time was not too long, three people would be three months. At this time, even if Gu Zheng wanted to save them, he would not have the ability! After all, he had a lot of things to do.
"Seriously, am I that hateful? I'm just telling the truth. "
The Weapon Spirit rolled his eyes at Gu Zheng and then smiled. "Big idiot, if you really want to save them, you can totally accept the Immortal Dew Pill mission now. When you finish it and get the reward, you can save them!"
"The Immortal Dew Pill is very precious. The mission is definitely not easy. One Immortal Dew Pill per person, three people need three pills! Are you stupid or am I stupid? "
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at the Weapon Spirit, and confidence appeared on his face again. "Hehe, if I really want to save them, it's definitely more cost-effective to spend time than to use the Immortal Dew Pill! At worst, I'll ask Sect Leader Yang for the three of them and put them in the Emei Sect. I'll let them treat them slowly! "
"Oh, not bad. You've thought of a more perfect solution so quickly!"
The Weapon Spirit jumped up from the stone. There was no anger on her face because Gu Zheng had called her stupid. On the contrary, she was happy for Gu Zheng's wit.
"Esteemed guest, how is it?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng had been maintaining the posture of transmitting inner strength and not saying anything, Old Cheng could not help but ask.
Gu Zheng took his hand away and was about to tell Old Cheng his decision when Meow Meow suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry! This illness is not a problem for my master at all! It's just that some medicinal herbs may take some time to find! "Meow Meow said with a smile.
"Really?"
Old Cheng was so excited that his whole body trembled. He looked at Gu Zheng eagerly.
Gu Zheng understood that Meow Meow would definitely not say these words for no reason, so he smiled faintly.
"That's right, this is not a problem at all! You guys wait outside first. I need to think about it and think about what kind of prescription I should prescribe for this rare illness! "
"Okay, okay!"
Old Cheng and his wife hurriedly agreed. After sending the old man back to the inner room, they immediately left the central room with the Yang siblings and closed the door.
"Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, let's wait outside first! Since Fellow Cultivator Gu has already said so, you can rest assured! "
Yang Zhenling understood that there must be some secret between Gu Zheng and Meow Meow. Yang Zhenling had no intention of exploring the secret. He just wanted to take away Old Cheng and his wife, who were waiting anxiously outside the central room.
In fact, it didn't matter even if Yang Zhenling didn't take them away. The moment the central room was closed, Gu Zheng waved his hand and set up a small soundproof restriction.
Now that the restriction was set, Meow Meow immediately smiled helplessly.
"Mister, if only I could transmit my voice, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
Secret Voice Transmission didn't sound like a high-level ability, but in fact, it wasn't simple at all. After all, it was a communication on the spiritual level.
Unless one was extraordinarily talented and had very strong mental strength, it was impossible for cultivators to transmit their voice through secret voice transmission!
As for cultivators who wanted to transmit their voice through secret voice transmission, their divine sense had to reach a certain level! And this level could be met by ordinary cultivators who had reached the Soul Formation stage.
As for Gu Zheng's previous ability to transmit his voice through secret voice transmission, it was all because of the cooperation of the weapon spirit! If it was just Gu Zheng alone, his current Divine Will would not be able to reach the 'degree' required for Secret Sound Transmission.
Although Meow Meow's cultivation was equivalent to the human mid-Deity Transformation stage, she was still a demon cultivator. In some areas, she had advantages over humans, but in others, she also had disadvantages!
Meow Meow had the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, but it wasn't pure. It was for this reason that it was more difficult for her to transmit her voice through secret voice transmission than ordinary demon cultivators!
Secret Voice Transmission was one of Meow Meow's bloodline talents! But this talent was hidden because of the impure bloodline. If Meow Meow wanted to transmit her voice through secret voice transmission, her bloodline would have to be sufficiently awakened!
Gu Zheng examined the old man's body, but didn't say anything. Meow Meow understood that he was communicating with the weapon spirit.
When Gu Zheng was about to speak, Meow Meow saw a trace of regret in his eyes. It was because of this regret that Meow Meow guessed that Gu Zheng didn't get a perfect solution from the weapon spirit! That was why she opened her mouth and said those words to gain face for Gu Zheng.
Meow Meow had a small bag with some books inside, some of which the weapon spirit had asked her to put in. These books were mostly about etiquette and interpersonal relationships. She'd already read them on the plane. There were also some books that Meow Meow liked. These books came from the treasures of the Kongkong Sect. When Gu Zheng first met Meow Meow, she was holding such a book and reading it with great interest.
In Meow Meow's bag, Gu Zheng found an ancient book called the Medical Codex, which recorded the method to cure Blood Spirit!
Just as Meow Meow said, "This disease is not a problem for my master. It's just that some of the herbs may take some time to find!"
Curing Blood Spirit required sixteen herbs, and Gu Zheng had fourteen of them! As for the other two, Gu Zheng didn't have them not because he hadn't seen them before, but because the quality of the herbs was too low. He didn't collect them at all.
Bone Grass and White Snake Flower were the two herbs Gu Zheng lacked. They were only second-grade resources. Heaven Will Faction at the foot of the mountain definitely had them. Even on the way here, he and Meow Meow had seen them. It was just that neither of them had bent over to look for them!
"Little Meow Meow, you're amazing!"
There was actually a perfect solution to the problem that Gu Zheng had thought was imperfect. Moreover, the solution came from Meow Meow, whom he hadn't expected at all. This made the excited Gu Zheng directly pick Meow Meow up and spin her in circles.
Meow Meow laughed happily. She was unprecedentedly happy that Gu Zheng had taken the initiative to hug her.
"Hmph."
The weapon spirit's strange laughter suddenly rang out, scaring Meow Meow so much that she immediately broke free from Gu Zheng's arms.
Just as Meow Meow was as quiet as a cicada in winter, the weapon spirit's very calm voice rang out.
"You're able to help Master. This is very good. Keep it up!"
With the method to cure Blood Spirit, it was naturally easy to get rid of Old Cheng's family's hereditary disease.
When Gu Zheng and the others left at dusk, Old Cheng, who insisted on seeing them off, sent them far, far away.
