"Ghost Valley Wondrous Book?"
Ding Ning's expression changed and his mind went blank. Could it be a jade slip of Gui Guzi's lineage?
If the Ghost Valley Wondrous Book was really from the Holy Mountain, then this Hu Yaoshi was not a human, but a demon with great luck.
It was just that he couldn't understand how the Ghost Valley inheritance would appear in the holy mountain. He immediately took the jade slip and asked eagerly "Fellow Daoist Hu, are you saying that this Ghost Valley Wondrous Book was obtained from the holy mountain ruins?"
"Yes, I was young at that time. I was not talented in cultivation, but I liked to study the Dao of Formations. I took advantage of the chaos when the four families attacked the Winged Man Tribe to sneak into the Holy Mountain. I almost died to get this Ghost Valley Wondrous Book."
Hu Yaoshi's face showed a lingering fear. It seemed that his experience in the Holy Mountain was not good. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "Because I was not talented in cultivation, when I saw the method of alchemy in this book, I could not help but secretly use the flesh and bones of demon beasts to refine pills. I wanted to use them to help my cultivation …"
As Hu Yaoshi spoke, Ding Ning found out that Hu Yaoshi was a member of the Fox Tribe. The Fox Tribe was a very special tribe in the Demon Tribe. They were generally not talented in cultivation, but they were very intelligent. Although they were not a strong tribe, they were a respected tribe in the Demon Kingdom.
Because of the intelligence of the Fox Tribe, the elders of the Fox Tribe always held the position of the High Priest in the Demon Kingdom. Therefore, no matter who was in power in the Demon Territory, the High Priest of the Fox Tribe always had the right to live in the Demon City.
Medicine Master Hu was a descendant of the High Priest's bloodline. However, his cultivation talent was too poor, so his status in the clan wasn't high. Even the woman he liked had been snatched away by his clan brother, who then humiliated him in every possible way.
Thus, the young and vigorous Medicine Master Hu rushed to the Holy Mountain in anger for the sake of a beautiful woman. He risked his life to enter the Holy Mountain in order to obtain some heaven-defying elixirs to improve his aptitude. Unexpectedly, he didn't obtain any heaven-defying elixirs, but he unexpectedly obtained this Ghost Valley Wondrous Book.
Hu Yaoshi liked to study formations. Although this Ghost Valley Wondrous Book was incomplete and only had the inheritance of alchemy and formations, it was like a treasure to him. He concentrated on the Dao of Formations.
Although the art of alchemy was not his cup of tea, his low cultivation aptitude had always been the biggest sore point for him being ridiculed by others. So, when he had free time, he would study alchemy and refine pills to aid in his cultivation.
He didn't expect that although his cultivation aptitude didn't improve, with the help of the elixir, his cultivation base also rose. Soon, he caught up with the cultivation base of his peers, and even surpassed most of them.
What happened next was very melodramatic. Hu Yaoshi's confidence skyrocketed, and he challenged his clansmen who had mocked him before. He took back his beloved girl and married her. They had two sons and a daughter, and lived happily ever after.
But the good times didn't last long. Hu Yaoshi found that his descendants had inherited his useless aptitude in cultivation. Their talent in cultivation was a mess. Just like him, they were called useless. Wherever they went, they were treated with disdain. In the Demon Kingdom, where only the strong were respected, they were the laughing stock.
As a result, Medicine Master Hu, who loved his sons dearly, secretly refined some pills for them to consume to assist them in their cultivation. However, he didn't expect that this would lead to a disaster.
Medicine Master Hu's eldest son had already gotten married and had given birth to a son and a daughter. However, his youngest son, Hu Xunyu, had never gotten married because he was in love with a woman named Cai Que 'er from the Nine-tailed Sparrow Clan. After obtaining the assistance of the medicinal pills, his cultivation speed had improved by leaps and bounds.
The girls of the Yao Nation were extremely realistic. The blood that flowed in their veins was the worship of the strong. Initially, Cai Que 'er was cold and indifferent towards Hu Xunyu but after she discovered that his cultivation base had skyrocketed, her attitude towards him changed drastically.
Hu Xinyu saw his love.
Finally, the girl he had fallen in love with was willing to talk to him, so he immediately became high-spirited and forgot all about Medicine Master Hu's warnings. When he was drunk, he revealed the secret of his sudden rise in cultivation. However, he knew the gravity of the matter and did not reveal the secret of Medicine Master Hu's alchemy. He only said that he had obtained it from a relic.
This was bad news. Cai Que 'er was an astute woman and she immediately realized the great benefits of the medicinal pills. Not only did she take the initiative to give herself to him, she even acted coquettishly and suggested that she also wanted to obtain the medicinal pills to assist in her cultivation.
The bewitched Hu Xinyu patted his chest and agreed without hesitation. He then gave the medicinal pills that Medicine Master Hu had given him to Cai Que 'er.
With Cai Que 'er's flattery, Hu Xinyu, who had tasted the sweetness of success, gradually let go of his wariness towards her. After one drunken night, Cai Que' er finally managed to fish out the truth from him, which also brought about a fatal disaster for him.
As it turned out, even though Cai Que 'er was a member of the Nine-tailed Sparrow Clan, she was actually a reincarnated member of the Black Blood Plague Clan. She had long awakened the memories of her past life and used the Black Blood Plague Clan's unique communication method to contact the other members of the Black Blood Plague Clan.
These members of the Black Blood Plague Clan who had awakened the memories of their past lives had yet to lose their spirituality. Their cultivation aptitude far surpassed the average demon race and they had also learned of their mission from their inherited memories. Therefore, they had quickly made their move against Medicine Master Hu and his family.
They had used the lives of Hu Yaoshi's family to threaten him to hand over the medicinal pills and inheritance. When Hu Yaoshi found out that they were members of the Black Blood Plague Clan, he knew that these people would not spare his family even if he handed over the inheritance. Therefore, he had resolutely refused to comply. As a result, his wife, two sons, and a daughter were killed right in front of him.
Hu Yaoshi was devastated but the Black Blood Plague Clan was despicable enough to use the lives of his grandchildren to threaten him. Even though he had seen the truth clearly, he still refused to comply.
When the Black Blood Plague Clan saw how stubborn he was, they had no choice but to compromise in the end. They agreed to not take his medicinal pills and inheritance anymore but he had to serve them.
Hu Yaoshi looked at his pitiful grandchildren and in the end, he had no choice but to submit and become the Chief Pill Master of the newly established Treasure Medicine Pavilion. The Black Blood Plague Clan had taken a roundabout way to send quite a number of people to assist him as apprentices. In reality, they wanted to secretly learn the art of pill refinement.
Hu Yaoshi pretended not to know, but he was well aware of what was going on. He had selectively passed on a few low-grade pill recipes to them, slowly breaking down the Black Blood Plague Clan's wariness.
In reality, he had been diligently studying formations in secret, hoping to find an opportunity to capture the Black Blood Plague Clan in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, the leader of the Black Blood Plague Clan was extremely cautious and never showed his face. His identity was extremely mysterious, and Hu Yaoshi couldn't find an opportunity.
Until a while ago, the owner of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion personally came to him and asked if he knew how to create a pill that could kill the parasites. This made Hu Yaoshi realize that an opportunity had come. Although he didn't agree right away, he gave the other party hope and said that he would be able to do so with some time.
The owner of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion seemed to have a great desire for such a pill. He sincerely expressed that as long as he could create a pill that could kill the parasites, the resources of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion would be at his disposal.
Therefore, Hu Yaoshi made up the name of the Replenishing Spirit Pill and used the massive resources accumulated by the Treasure Medicine Pavilion to concentrate on studying divine-level formations. He wanted to capture them all in one fell swoop, which finally led to today's scene.
Speaking of this, Hu Yaoshi smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that the owner of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion would be planted with the Thousand-Eyed Plague God. Once this thing grows up, it will at least be a creature in the Divine Transformation Realm. After absorbing the host's life essence and cultivation, it can directly transform into an existence like the immortal Heavenly Emperor. It seems that the Black Blood Plague God is really unwilling to give up. Fortunately, you are here today. Otherwise, once this monster successfully transforms, the entire Demon Country will become a dead country."
"How was the Thousand-Eyed Plague God planted? Could there be others who have been planted with this d * mn thing? "
Ding Ning asked with a serious expression. This terrifying thing could live in a person's body. Who knew if other than the owner of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion had been infected? If there were others, then things would be troublesome.
"Don't worry, the Thousand-Eyed Plague God is a terrifying poisonous creature from the Chaos. Even the Immortal Emperor would find it extremely difficult to obtain it. Not to mention the fact that it is extremely rare, even if he was lucky enough to obtain it, he would have to constantly nourish it with blood essence while it is still a cocoon. Without tens of millions of years, this kind of poisonous creature will not be able to recognize its master. Moreover, this thing's growth period is extremely long. It can easily take tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years before it reaches adulthood."
At this point, Medicine Master Hu's expression became somewhat serious. "The host of the Thousand-Eyed Plague God must be a descendant of the same bloodline as its master. Otherwise, it will easily turn on its master. Most importantly, this host must be a person who has walked the Path of Reincarnation. So, I guess that for such a terrifying monster, even the Immortal Emperor would not be able to cultivate it easily. There shouldn't be a second one."
Ding Ning opened his mouth in shock. The information contained in these words was too much. First, the owner of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion was the direct bloodline descendant of the Immortal Emperor who had planted the Plague God. Second, the Thousand-Eyed Plague God was very difficult to find and extremely difficult to cultivate. There shouldn't be a second one. Third, Medicine Master Hu also knew about the Path of Reincarnation. Was he also someone who had regained the memories of his previous life through reincarnation? Otherwise, with the Sacred Mountain Ruins being such an extremely dangerous place where so many experts had perished after entering, how could a small warrior like him be able to come out alive and even bring back the Ghost Valley Wondrous Book? Fourth, how did he know about the Thousand-Eyed Plague God, and in such detail?
Medicine Master Hu looked at him meaningfully, as if he had seen through his thoughts. He said lightly, "You don't have to think too much. I am indeed a person who has reincarnated, but I have only recovered part of the memory of my previous life. I should have some relationship with the Ghost Valley Sect, that's why I know so much. But so what? My previous life is my previous life. Right now, I am just Medicine Master Hu, an old fellow who only wants to live in seclusion and enjoy the happiness of his family."
Ding Ning was solemn. He knew that Medicine Master Hu was not willing to say more, so he could only silently clasp his fists and bow. "I still have to thank Senior for giving me the book."
"Fellow cultivator, you are too polite. I have finished my business and it's time for me to go. Goodbye!"
Medicine Master Hu cupped his fists and bowed in a Taoist salute. He simply and neatly left with his grandchildren. Only a faint sigh reverberated in the air. "The biggest advantage here is that we have a long lifespan. It's a pity that those old fellows outside are always racking their brains for longevity. How can they be as free as me? Wonderful, wonderful …"
Ding Ning looked at his free and easy figure from afar and revealed a thoughtful expression. Medicine Master Hu did not seem to be simple.
Perhaps, his appearance was to give this Ghost Valley Wondrous Book to him.
Mr. Ghost Valley, did you deliberately show up because you were unwilling to let the Ghost Valley Wondrous Book be lost? Did you hope that you could carry forward the Ghost Valley Wondrous Book in our world?
Ding Ning clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Hu Medicine Master's receding figure. Whether he was willing to admit it or not, the kindness of giving him the book was half a teacher's gift.
As for whether Medicine Master Hu was Mr. Ghost Valley or not, he was not willing to say it clearly, and Ding Ning would not delve into it. But he felt that there was a 90% chance that he was.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xu, the knowledgeable Mr. Ghost Valley Wondrous Book, could not escape the fate of birth, old age, sickness, and death. He had to exhaust himself to prolong his life. Finally, he chose to enter here and step into reincarnation to obtain a long lifespan. He was indeed a mighty person in the human world.
