This old man also lives in the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Medicines. The space inside the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Medicines is very large. Follow the old man through a long vermilion corridor, pass several forks, and pass by a quiet small bamboo forest.
Next to the bamboo forest, there is a clear spring platform slowly gushing out spring water, forming a small pool more than ten meters in diameter around it, and a small stream flows elsewhere.
An independent and elegant courtyard stands quietly next to the small pool, quiet and elegant.
Pushing open the courtyard door, the flowers and plants in the courtyard are luxuriant, and there is a grape trellis in the courtyard. However, in this winter, the grape trellis is also green, with grapes like purple crystals on it, lingering with a trace of mist.
"Kids, please sit down."
The old man invited Xiang Chen to sit at the stone table under the grape trellis. Light surged in his hand, and a tea set appeared.
"Old sir, please sit down."
Xiang Chen sat down and sat opposite the old man on the stone table. Zhao Mu stood quietly behind Xiang Chen.
The old man took his time and started burning the charcoal stove, poured the spring water into the teapot, arranged the tea utensils, and put tea leaves in the two teacups.
"Tianwu Lingcha."
Xiang Chen was surprised and recognized the pieces of tea leaves that looked like white frost in the teacup.
This is a kind of spiritual tea, one tael is worth thousands of gold. Ordinary people can't afford it. His father also has it, but he only serves this tea when distinguished guests come to his door.
"Haha, little friends, you know this kind of tea. This kind of tea is produced in the cold Youzhou. The young leaves bloom only once every ten years and can be picked only once every twenty years."
The old man said with a slight smile.
But this time, the tea in the purple sand teapot was already boiling. The old man filled the tea cups for Xiang Chen and himself. He washed the tea leaves once before pouring the second boiling water to start soaking. There were wisps of white mist in the tea cup.
The strange thing is that the white mist is cold, and a faint scent of tea permeates the courtyard, which cannot be concealed by the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard.
"I was lucky enough to see this kind of tea when my father was here, but I have never drank it. It seems that thanks to the old man, the younger generation can get a taste of it today."
Xiang Chen smiled.
"please!"
"Old sir, please."
The two of them didn't talk about anything else. They picked up the teacup and drank tea first. Xiang Chen blew a sip of white mist. When the tea entered the mouth, there was a rush of heat at first, and then there was a sense of coldness. After the bitterness, the aftertaste was
A very special sweetness.
After swallowing the tea, there was a surge of hot air, and the pores in Xiang Chen's body seemed to be opened. The blood and qi in Xiang Chen's body flowed by themselves and became stronger.
“Great tea!”
Xiang Chen slowly exhaled a breath of white air.
"Haha, of course it is good tea. I will give half a catty to the children later."
The old man smiled and said, half a kilogram is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. It is really heroic.
"Then I have to thank the old gentleman. I'm afraid that the old gentleman has an extraordinary status in Wanyao Pavilion."
Xiang Chen said with a slight smile, looking at the old man calmly, not overjoyed by things, and accepted it calmly.
He was born in a royal family, so he naturally has the nobility and self-cultivation of a great family, and his temperament is extraordinary from ordinary people.
"I'm just an ordinary old man sweeping the floors. Now I'm a kid who was born in a prince's palace. He's still young, but he has medical skills that can make even the owner of the Chinese Hall feel inferior. He's very promising at a young age." The old man said with a smile.
An ordinary old man sweeping the floor? I believe you, the price of this cup of tea can make an ordinary family struggle for a lifetime.
"It's just an abandoned son of the king's family, so don't mention it." Xiang Chen said calmly: "No reward for no merit, old sir, can you let me see your hands?"
The old man stretched out his left hand and saw that the entire arm was as black as coal and shriveled into a black fire stick, which was a bit scary.
"Sure enough, it's the poison of the Earth Flame Demon Spider." Xiang Chen squinted his eyes and didn't even dare to touch it. With his cultivation level, if he touched it, he would die!
"Looking at his condition, the old gentleman may have been poisoned for a long time."
Xiang Chen said.
"Yes, I have been poisoned for twelve years. I am tortured by the spider poison every day. Over the years, I have gone to many famous doctors and alchemists, but none of them can cure me. They all say that only the Six Extremes Cold Scenery can cure me.
The elixir of heaven can be cured, but the top elixir of Sedum sedum is really hard to come by. Since the children recognize it at a glance, is there any way to cure it?"
the old man asked.
"Liu Ji Han Sedum can indeed remove the poison, but once the poison is gone, the arm is almost useless. Under the alternation of cold and heat, the meridians are almost useless. Moreover, the source of the old gentleman's poison is not in the arm.
"
Xiang Chen said lightly,
The old man looked at Xiang Chen in surprise, then nodded and said: "My little boy has good eyesight, I know that the poison is planted near the heart. At that time, in order to save my life, I forced the poison to the arm."
"However, now this poison has begun to corrode your internal organs. Under such corrosion, even if the old gentleman has a high level of cultivation, he will not be able to survive the next ten years."
Xiang Chen looked at the old man's arm and said.
"That's right, if there is no rescue method or the Six Extremes Cold Sedum is found, I will indeed not have many years to live."
The old man said solemnly.
In the face of life and death, few people can be completely calm.
"My little friend, can it be cured?"
The old man took another sip of tea and asked,
"able!"
However, Xiang Chen's words of cutting gold and iron made the old man's palms tremble and he looked at Xiang Chen in surprise.
He just asked casually with a hint of luck, but this young man said with great confidence that he could!
"Not only can it be cured, but it can also restore your almost withered meridians to normal levels, but it will take some time, um, a month." Xiang Chen said.
"Ahem..." The old man choked when he heard the words and almost sprayed Xiang Chen in the face.
He stood up excitedly, looked at Xiang Chen, and said in surprise: "Can children really be cured?"
"I can start using needles to detoxify the old gentleman now. However, my needles are just ordinary silver needles. For this poison, a needle forged with mithril is needed to resist the corrosion of the spider poison."
Xiang Chen said.
"I have!"
On the old man's finger, a golden crystal ring bloomed with light, and a set of large and small mithril needles with dozens of shining stars appeared in front of Xiang Chen.
Over the years, he has sought out many famous doctors and prepared his own needles.
"Sure enough, they are mithril needles." Xiang Chen's eyes lit up. This set of silver needles is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Mithril is an extremely precious weapon refining material.
"Old sir, could you please take off your shirt?" Xiang Chen said, without asking for any reward, and was ready to save the old man.
The old man took off his shirt, and sure enough, he saw that the poison had spread on his shoulders and even his left chest.
"My little friend, if you can save me, I owe you a huge favor." The old man said excitedly.
"You first gather all your true energy." Xiang Chen directly took out the mithril needle and said.
The old man immediately restrained the true energy flowing in his meridians, and his face showed a look of pain. Without the protection of the true energy, the place where the poison spread was filled with astonishing high temperatures. It would be possible to boil an egg in an instant.
