Chapter 70: Secretly Forming a Fetal Pearl, Flesh Becomes a Pill

"Master is not here?"

Liang Qu knelt on the ground, his collar being grabbed by Lady Xu was really uncomfortable, and it was not good to struggle.

Lady Xu was quite old, and it looked like she hadn't practiced martial arts, so it wouldn't be good if she got hurt.

"Yes, not here. He went to Chaojiang County and won't be back for ten days or half a month. Not only your master, but your second senior brother, fifth senior sister, and sixth senior brother are not here either. They went together."

Liang Qu lowered his head, his brows locked.

Not seeing him at this time, and leaving for so long.

Feeling...

"Feeling there is a conspiracy, right?"

"Yes, eh?" Liang Qu nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong, raised his head to look at Lady Xu, "How does the Mistress know?"

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain." Lady Xu said calmly, "Two days ago, the Chaojiang County Magistrate sent his eldest son over, saying that he found the Water Bath Sect demon people. The copper-plate and iron-plate constables investigated for more than half a month and finally determined the location. To prevent accidents, they invited your master to sit in town. One after another, how could there be so many coincidences."

"What is the Water Bath Sect?"

"An old dog hiding in the ten-thousand-mile water marsh, most of them are remnants of the previous dynasty, poor bugs plotting to restore the country."

"Master agreed?"

"Yes, the magistrate promised many benefits. At that time, we didn't realize it was inappropriate."

"If it is really luring the tiger away from the mountain, wouldn't the magistrate also be involved?"

"Hard to say. If involved, telling him would be alerting the enemy. If not, perhaps it is the Water Bath Sect's conspiracy, wanting us to doubt ourselves, both are possible."

Nandi came gracefully from the side, holding a small medicine bottle on a tray.

Lady Xu reached out to take it, pulled off the red stopper, and poured out three pills the size of fish eyes.

"Open your mouth."

"Mistress, really no need."

"Let you open, you open."

Liang Qu had no choice but to open his mouth and was stuffed with one.

"Hmm, good."

Then Lady Xu directly pulled open the gauze on his shoulder, arm, and chest, crushed a pill for each, and sprinkled it on the wounds.

One taken, one applied, Liang Qu felt his wounds heat up, and then the wounds healed at a rapid speed, many times faster than lotus roots!

Extravagant, too extravagant, it was really a minor injury.

Liang Qu felt heartache. He was afraid of being poor and felt that he was wasting things.

"This bottle has a total of ten pills. Three are used, and the rest are all for you. Don't be reluctant to use medicine when injured. No one knows when an accident will come. Don't let yourself be in a weak state."

Liang Qu lowered his head: "Disciple has been taught."

Lady Xu leaned back on the grandmaster chair: "If it is really the Water Bath Sect, then I have some clues about the Mountain Ghost incident. Do you know that Mountain Ghosts will form fetuses?"

"Know."

"Yes, it seems you have indeed worked hard in recent days. Mountain Ghosts form fetuses extremely quickly and will rapidly drain the blood energy of the fetus-bearer. The stronger the fetus-bearer, the more blood energy is absorbed, and the stronger the Mountain Ghost that appears. If it is dug out before it hatches, it is a top-grade treasure medicine.

If there is a pharmacist who knows how to refine it, he can fuse several fetal pills together to refine into a Fetal Pearl Pill.

The Water Bath Sect has done this kind of thing before, and the effect is extraordinary. A hundred-person portion of Fetal Pearl Pill can refine an ordinary person into a Galloping Horse martial artist on the spot, and the upper limit is unknown. At that time, thousands of people in several villages were slaughtered.

The Taizu was furious and sent the old general Xu Youguang to lead troops to suppress and kill them. I was only ten years old at that time, and I remember it very clearly. After this incident, the Water Bath Sect hadn't appeared for decades.

I suspect that the Mountain Ghost in Yixing City might not be an accident. It is an ambush planted by the Water Bath Sect long ago, accidentally disturbed by the movement of your sacrifice to the River God, and woke up in advance."

Liang Qu was worried. Why did his novice village have such a big boss?

"Since it is luring the tiger away from the mountain, can we let Master come back faster?"

"Little Nine, you just said you rolled out of the mud, how can you be so naive? If it is really luring the tiger away from the mountain, will they watch your master come back?"

"Eh... then what does the Mistress think I should do?"

Lady Xu rolled her eyes: "How would I know? I am just an old woman with no strength to truss a chicken. I read more books and know more. Ask your senior brothers about this kind of thing. Little Two, Little Five, and Little Six are not here, aren't there Little Three, Little Four, Little Seven, and Little Eight? Five big men want an old woman like me to think of a trick? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Since that is the case, no time to lose, I will go to the martial arts hall to discuss with the senior brothers."

Liang Qu was about to leave, but was grabbed by Lady Xu.

"What's the rush? Eat dinner before you go. If it is really what I guessed, they won't dare to act for a while. Your master just left for two days, and they are afraid that your master will kill a return shot."

Should it be said that it is worthy of being the wife of a Hunting Tiger Great Martial Artist? She hasn't practiced martial arts, but she is so calm and has the style of a great general.

"Forget it, I have a friend waiting for me outside to watch the boat."

"Find a servant to watch, and let your friend come over to eat together."

"Not very good, right?"

"Hmm?"

"Yes, yes, yes, then I will go call him."

"If you dare to sneak away, don't enter this door in the future."

Liang Qu tripped over the threshold and hurriedly came to the riverbank to call Chen Jiechang.

"This, this, too polite, grateful."

Chen Jiechang came out of the Yang mansion in a daze, holding the two small medicine bottles tightly, not daring to let go, fearing it would fall and bump.

A meal not only ate many mountain delicacies and sea treasures, but also received two bottles of treasure pills!

At the dinner table, Lady Xu heard that Chen Jiechang and Li Libo helped Liang Qu a lot when killing the Mountain Ghost, and she was not stingy, immediately giving two bottles of Blood Qi Pills, one bottle each. The effect of one bottle was equivalent to a ten-jin red-blood perch!

Cooperating with the medicine soup in the martial arts hall, the two really had hope of becoming martial artists!

Chen Jiechang said gratefully: "Ashui, thank you!"

"Hey, thank me for what? If you want to thank, thank my Mistress. I should thank you. Without you two handing me the knife, I would be really dangerous."

"I just want to do something."

"That's enough."

Liang Qu patted Chen Jiechang on the shoulder.

There is no need for so many words between men, one action is enough.

Returning to the martial arts hall, Liang Qu found Xiang Zhangsong and Hu Qi and told them everything about his conversation with Lady Xu.

Xiang Zhangsong hugged his arms in front of his chest and supported his chin with one hand: "Water Bath Sect? No impression, haven't heard of it."

"I have heard some rumors, mostly the same as what the Mistress knows. It is said that that Fetal Pearl Pill created more than ten Galloping Horse martial artists.

Cooperating with the Water Bath Sect's formation, they forcibly blocked the attacks of three Wolf Smoke martial artists. The key is that it is a crash course. As long as you use human lives to pile it up, you can continuously manufacture martial artists."

Xiang Zhangsong shook his head: "The records are likely inaccurate. If they were truly ordinary people without any martial arts foundation or realm comprehension, how could they suddenly obtain surging power and, by combining it with an array, defend against three martial artists who are each a major realm higher? It's too absurd."

"Hmm, I think perhaps those dozen or so were originally meat-barrier or barrier-breaking martial artists, with foundation, and after getting the Fetal Pearl Pill to surge in strength, they would have such an effect. In short, Fetal Pearl Pill is strong, but not that exaggerated."

Xiang Zhangsong nodded: "According to Little Nine's statement, the only problem now is to find the mastermind, force out the location and plan of all Mountain Ghosts, and then kill them, and the matter will be solved?"

"The problem is, we don't know where the mastermind is. Besides, should the other two martial arts halls be invited to help?" ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
