Hidden Illness
Chu Xingyun raised his eyebrows, opening the small wooden box. Inside was a blue jade the size of an adult's fist, emitting a gentle blue light, giving people a sense of calmness and concentration.
"Mind Calming Jade!" Yan Du exclaimed.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and answered: "This Mind Calming Jade is a treasure that I've kept for a very long time. When you're cultivating, just place the Mind Calming Jade in front of you and you'll be able to calm your mind, it's a great help to your cultivation"
Chu Xingyun nodded, but didn't reach out to take it, instead putting the small wooden box down, showing indifference and disinterest.
Gu Qing Shan's heart tightened, pointing at the big wooden box: "Master Chu, take a look at this."
Chu Xing Yun opened the big wooden box, and an aura as thick as a mountain immediately spread out. Looking at it carefully, it was a simple soft armor. It was yellow in color, and with just a slight touch, he could feel its thick aura.
"This is called the Soft Earth Armor, a low-level Treasure item, I got it from a strong cultivator's cave. As long as you wear this armor, your defense will greatly increase, even if you face an Earth Spirit realm cultivator, you'll be able to block one or two attacks."
Gu Qing Shan explained in a low voice, his heart full of reluctance, but when he remembered that he had a favor to ask of Chu Xingyun, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Yan Du looked at the two treasures in front of him, his eyes staring blankly. Any one of these treasures is a rare treasure, very important for cultivation and survival.
Especially the Soft Earth Armor, a Treasure item, there shouldn't be many of them in the entire West Wind City.
Chu Xingyun picked up the Soft Earth Armor, looked at it a few times, then put it down again, smiling: "As the saying goes, one should not receive a reward without any effort. These two treasures, City Lord Gu won't give them to me for free right?"
Being stared at by Chu Xingyun, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit awkward. Qin Yu Yan stood up and explained: "A few years ago, City Lord Gu tried to break through to Earth Spirit realm, but was injured by the Yin energy instead, leaving a hidden injury in his body. This hidden injury has been affecting him ever since, causing him great pain, so these two things …"
"If you have a hidden disease, then you should go see a doctor. What does it have to do with me?" Chu Xingyun acted as if it had nothing to do with him.
"This kind of hidden illness originates from the Baleful Yin Qi. It's extremely Yin and cold. Ordinary doctors can't do anything about it. The Hundred Sun Pill you refined last time happens to be extremely Yang and hard. I wonder if it can help this hidden illness?" Qin Yuyan asked in a weak voice.
She already knew about Gu Qing Shan's hidden illness, but because she wasn't strong enough, she couldn't cure it. But last time when Chu Xingyun gave her the recipe for the Hundred Yang Pill, she saw a glimmer of hope.
Gu Qing Shan also looked at Chu Xingyun expectantly, his hands clenched tightly, his heart beating rapidly.
"No!"
Chu Xingyun shook his head and replied: "The Baleful Yin Qi originates from the Heaven and Earth, but the Yang Qi of the Hundred Yang Pill originates from the Heaven and Earth. The two are not of the same origin. If you forcefully combine them, not only will it have no effect, it will even harm your meridians. If it's light, you'll vomit blood. If it's heavy, you'll become a complete waste."
Hearing this, Gu Qing Shan's whole face fell. It turned green, then white, and there was even a trace of unwillingness in it. He clenched his teeth tightly.
Qin Yuyan gave a sympathetic look. Because of this hidden illness, Gu Qing Shan had to endure the pain day and night. At the same time, he couldn't make any progress in his cultivation.
For a martial artist, the most painful thing is knowing that this is the end of their cultivation. This feeling is no different from a hero past his prime. It's full of helplessness and bitterness.
"However, this kind of hidden illness isn't impossible to cure."
Chu Xingyun's next words were like the light of dawn. It reignited Gu Qing Shan's hope. His voice trembled as he asked: "What method?"
"As the saying goes, whoever tied the bell must untie it. Since this hidden illness is caused by the Baleful Yin Qi, if you want to completely cure it, you naturally have to start with the Baleful Yin Qi. As long as you can step into the Earth Spirit realm and absorb the Baleful Yin Qi into your Spirit Sea, this hidden illness will automatically disappear."
As soon as Chu Xingyun finished speaking, Gu Qing Shan suddenly had the urge to go on a rampage and kill someone.
If he could step into the Earth Spirit realm, why would he lower himself to beg Chu Xingyun. This Chu Xingyun is really good. He only says useless things. What a waste of time!
Chu Xingyun immediately saw through Gu Qing Shan's thoughts. He lightly laughed: "Mayor Gu, the reason why you can't step into the Earth Spirit realm is because you don't know anything about the Baleful Yin Qi. You only know how to comprehend it and don't know any other methods. If you follow my method, stepping into the Earth Spirit realm is not a problem at all."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun's body gradually emitted a mysterious aura that belonged to a strong martial artist. It caused the four people present to shiver. It was as if they weren't facing a sixteen year old youth, but a peerless master who could shake the nine heavens.
"If Chu family head can help me step into the Earth Spirit realm, I, Gu Qing Shan, will greatly thank you!" Gu Qing Shan once again bowed. He had already placed all his hopes on Chu Xingyun.
"I don't need to thank you. I have two conditions. If you can fulfill them, I won't be stingy."
Chu Xingyun extended two fingers and slowly said: "First, I want you to help me find nine spirit cores before the Martial House selection. Each one must come from a spirit beast at the ninth layer of Spirit Gathering. The faster the better."
Gu Qing Shan's eyes trembled. Nine spirit cores, and they must come from a spirit beast at the ninth layer of Spirit Gathering. The value of this first condition was a bit too high. In the entire Mayor's Palace, there were only two spirit cores that met this requirement.
"This condition isn't difficult. With the financial resources of the Hundred Treasures Tower and the Mayor's Palace, it can be done." Qin Yuyan said. Any problem that could be solved with money wasn't a problem.
"The second condition is that after Mayor Gu steps into the Earth Spirit realm, you must become a guest of the Chu family for ten years. In these ten years, you must wholeheartedly protect the Chu family." Chu Xingyun stated the second condition.
At this time, Gu Qing Shan was obviously unwilling.
His face was full of anger. He was the Mayor of West Wind City, personally appointed by the Liuyun Dynasty. His status was extraordinary, and he was in charge of a city. To want him to become a guest of the Chu family, this was degrading his dignity!
"Chu family head, isn't this a bit too much?" Qin Yuyan also felt that this was a bit inappropriate.
"Is it very shameful to become a guest of the Chu family?" Before Chu Xingyun could speak, Yan Du, who was standing to the side, stepped forward. His voice carried a trace of anger.
It was also at this time that Gu Qing Shan and the others recognized Yan Du. They all had stunned expressions. They didn't think that the follower by Chu Xingyun's side would be the infamous Yan Du.
"Seeing that we've known each other for so many years, Gu Qing Shan, let me give you a piece of advice. Becoming a guest of the Chu family will not cause you to lose face. On the contrary, this is an incomparably fortunate matter. As long as you are willing to follow by my master's side, not to mention the Earth Spirit realm, even the Sky Spirit realm isn't impossible."
