Chapter 135

The clear-blue Shengjing is cloudless, with an endless sunny sky.

A huge flying sword, wrapped in whistling spiritual energy, came from Liangzhou, tore through the clouds across the sky, and finally landed in Nishan.

Pill Sect Elder Dan Dan Qiongzi, accompanied by two inner sect disciples, Lu Ze, Wen Bin, and Yuan Yuan Bingqing, followed the Elder of the Auspicious Hall to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan to diagnose and treat You You Buyu.

At this time, You You Buyu lay on the bed in the side hall of the Auspicious Hall, his face covered with a layer of gray energy, looking completely lifeless.

And the Auspicious Hall Master You You Yingqiu, wearing a hairpin flower, stood to the side with a solemn expression.

Besides this, You You Buyu's parents and several other elders of the You family were also in the hall, all showing looks of worry.

"How long have these symptoms lasted?"

"It has been half a month."

Dan Dan Qiongzi sat on the bed and reached out to open You You Buyu's eyelids, only to see a yellowish tint at the bottom of his eyes, completely devoid of luster.

Then he used pill energy to enter the body, continuously probing within, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

This solemnity was not because he had discovered a problem, because if a problem were discovered, there would be a way to handle it.

The problem was that there was no problem; this was the biggest problem.

Dan Dan Qiongzi frowned for a long time, and finally, cautiously, began to probe You You Buyu's spiritual essence, his fingertips hanging at the edge of the bed trembling uncontrollably.

Because he discovered that You You Buyu's spiritual essence was already black-purple in color, and it had no reaction when touched by pill energy.

Spiritual essence is the foundation of a cultivator; it is impossible for it to be like this.

Unless, this person is already dead.

Dan Dan Qiongzi lifted his eyes slightly, looking at You You Buyu, who was still breathing, feeling completely baffled.

Then his hands bloomed with a burst of seven-colored pill light, attempting to approach You You Buyu's spiritual essence, intending to inject it and see if it could be reactivated.

But as the pill light swept in, he felt a strong suction force continuously pulling at the pill light in his hand, like a deep mud swamp, making his pill light completely uncontrollable.

Seeing this, Dan Dan Qiongzi immediately withdrew the pill light, narrowed his eyes, and a trace of cold sweat immediately flowed from his forehead.

"What happened?"

"There is something in his body that does not belong to him, it seems like poison but is not poison, tightly adhering to his spiritual essence, and it is strongly repelling his own body."

You You Yingqiu was sitting nearby, her brows deeply furrowed.

Dan Dan Qiongzi looked at You You Yingqiu: "I have heard that the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan has the art of deducing heavenly secrets since the Little Little Tian Shu preached the Dao. Can Hall Master You find the source of this thing?"

"I only saw a dark night; the deductions of my several senior brothers are the same."

Dan Dan Qiongzi then stayed on Nishan for several days to formulate a prescription, attempting to treat him, and then arranged for several disciples to refine pills separately for You You Buyu to take.

But no matter what kind of elixir it was, it had no effect after entering the body, even if Dan Dan Qiongzi used his own pill energy to stimulate it, the medicinal properties would eventually vanish into nothingness within his body.

At this time, Wen Bin and Lu Ze, who had come with Dan Dan Qiongzi, were waiting outside the hall, their expressions gradually becoming thoughtful.

"Is You You Buyu incurable?"

"His life should be fine, but I fear his path of cultivation will be interrupted here."

"Then the Abbot, the old man, surely wouldn't let his daughter marry someone who is crippled..."

The Lu family and the Wen family are both cultivation families with decent strength in Liangzhou. Both families sent their eldest sons into the immortal sect to cultivate and their second sons to the Pill Sect to learn alchemy.

Their talent for alchemy is indeed quite good; both entered the inner sect, and combined with their status and background, they were originally candidates for Yuan Yuan Caiwei's husband.

Who would have thought that after the Qiling incident, the Pill Sect intended to marry into the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan.

Thus, the hopes of second sons of families like them were dashed, but who would have thought that at this moment, things would take a turn for the better.

In fact, all the disciples with different surnames in the inner Pill Sect want to marry Yuan Yuan Caiwei.

So at this moment, whether it was Wen Bin or Lu Ze, they couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.

However, just as the two were talking, they suddenly saw their junior sister Yuan Yuan Bingqing holding a letter, hurrying over from the hall.

"Junior sister, where are you going?"

"I am delivering a letter for Ding Shijie Yuan Caiwei, I will be back in a while."

Lu Ze was stunned upon hearing this: "Isn't that letter from Yan Shimei Yuan Caiwei for You You Buyu?"

Yuan Yuan Bingqing was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Naturally not."

"?"

Ji You, who returned from Xiang Xiang Kuangcheng's side, had been in seclusion during this period, beginning his twelfth "Dim Illumination", continuously refining his body to become even tougher.

And this refining lasted for three full days; the soreness and numbness made it impossible for him to persist for long, so he could only stop and rest, and in his spare time, he went to the Enlightenment Field to enlighten himself.

The Little Inspector of Spirit Sword Mountain spent more and more time on Void Mountain, entering the Middle Realm of Responding to Heaven from the Initial Realm of Responding to Heaven.

She also has her own persistence, hoping to become the sharpest sword of Spirit Sword Mountain in the shortest time.

Every time Ji You went in, he could see the myriad Daoist techniques in her hands constantly evolving, and the temperament on her body became increasingly ethereal.

However, the only thing that didn't change was that every time she saw Ji You, she had to raise her arms slightly.

For her, it seemed that being held while enlightening was more handy.

However, regarding "Yan Shuyi, call me brother", there is still no progress.

"You You Buyu, I fear he is incurable."

"?"

At noon, Wen Zhengxin, Ban Ban Yangshu, and Pei Pei Ruyi came to the Clear Water Lake Elegant Garden, but they came empty-handed, which made Ji You quite dissatisfied.

But soon, his attention was diverted by the news they brought out from the inner sect.

"Incurable? Is he injured so severely? Have they buried him?"

Ban Ban Yangshu's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that his junior brother's mouth is poisonous enough: "He's not dead yet, at most he just can't cultivate anymore..."

Ji You frowned after hearing this, thinking that it was a pity: "Where exactly is he injured?"

"It's not an injury. I heard disciples of the Auspicious Hall chatting and saying that there are things in his body that don't belong to him."

Things in his body that don't belong to him...

Ji You twisted his teacup, pondered for a long time, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought to himself, why does this sentence sound a bit yellow.

Pei Pei Ruyi put down her teacup and said: "I am thinking now, could this matter be related to Spirit Sword Mountain? But I feel it makes no sense. Since my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan lost both questions, why would they bother to do this? And He He Lingxiu happens to be fine."

Ban Ban Yangshu lowered his voice: "Could it be before going up the mountain? Didn't You You Buyu say that on that night, a Spirit Sword Mountain expert wanted to attack him, but was forced back by his words in the end."

Ji You immediately waved his hand: "Impossible. Since they already attacked, why not just kill him? He must have offended a handsome man he shouldn't have."

"?"

"Or perhaps, he ate something dirty."

The three looked at Ji You: "This can also be eaten?"

Ji You raised his head and looked at them: "Before going to Spirit Sword Mountain, You You Buyu took a large amount of elixirs to refine the Dao. Who knows if he ate something messy by mistake."

Wen Zhengxin suddenly became gossipy: "By the way, Ji Shidi Ji, I have had a question since I came back from Spirit Sword Mountain. Is Ding Yao really your fiancée?"

"If she were my fiancée, could she have told Brother Gongshu Chou not to hold back in the ruins that day? Ding Shijie, your guess is too outrageous."

"But looking at her attitude toward you, she seems very obedient."

Ji You chuckled twice, thinking to himself that this wasn't because she failed to train her master, but ended up being trained well: "Perhaps it was because of the sword forest incident that she couldn't help but fall for me."

Wen Zhengxin couldn't help but say "Oh": "So that night when you broke the sword forest, she knew you slept very late, and you also said you had back pain. You really have fiancées everywhere."

"Ding Shijie, don't always wrong me just because you see I am handsome."

"It's useless for you to say that. Bai Bai Rulong has been spreading it in the courtyard these days, saying you have a fiancée on Spirit Sword Mountain. Now everyone knows it, why does Ji Shidi still want to cover it up?"

Ji You pursed his lips: "It seems the money bag of Emperor Bai Rulong is itchy again and needs me to scratch it for him."

Just at this moment, a "dong dong dong" knocking sound suddenly rang out outside the door, and then someone pushed the door and walked in.

Everyone turned to look and found it was a young woman, not wearing the immortal robes of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, but the pill robes of the Pill Sect.

Ji You was slightly stunned, then raised his head to look at her: "May I ask what business you have with me, Miss?"

"Young Master Ji, my name is Yuan Yuan Bingqing. My senior sister asked me to bring a letter; please open it, Young Master."

"Your senior sister?"

"My senior sister is the daughter of the Pill Sect Abbot, Yuan Yuan Caiwei."

Hearing this, Ban Ban Yangshu, Wen Zhengxin, and Pei Pei Ruyi couldn't help but turn their heads, thinking to themselves, there is no fiancée yet, you can't deny this one!

Ji You reached out to take the letter, thanked her, and then opened it to take a look.

In fact, ever since Ji You returned to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, Yuan Yuan Caiwei had wanted to write to him, but hesitated for a long time without putting pen to paper.

The main reason was that the little Inspector sister from Spirit Sword Mountain had written to pursue the matter, saying she saw what good things Ji You had, and told her to confess.

This made her feel a bit guilty, having a feeling of stealing a sister's man.

So this letter was written early on, but had never been sent.

Later, someone from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan came and said they wanted to invite someone to treat You You Buyu's injuries, so she took this opportunity to entrust her junior sister to bring the letter.

The content was mostly greetings, and she also talked about the recent situation of Yuan Yuanchen and her own recent situation. Finally, she once again earnestly requested Ji You to forget the incident that night when she sat in his arms wearing only a bodice.

Although she said to let him forget, Yuan Yuan Caiwei described the scene of that night with vivid and beautiful words, such as her jade-like feet and her firm, perky buttocks.

This didn't look like asking him to forget at all, but rather leading him to recall the shared bath that night again.

"A femme fatale!"

"Ji You, oh Ji You, you are truly a femme fatale!"

Wen Zhengxin, Pei Pei Ruyi, and Ban Ban Yangshu were holding their teacups, looking at Ji You, secretly cursing him for being shameless.

"Femme fatale" itself is not a good term; it refers to a woman who brings disaster to the country and the people. They had never heard of a man using this term to describe himself.
