Chapter 156: Hope of Saving the Sun Chasing Turtle
Time was precious, and Baochan Chamber of Commerce would be calling in half an hour, so he quickly returned to the Jiang family.
When he returned to Jiang's house, Jiang Ling was lying on a bamboo chair basking in the sun. Ye Yang told him the purpose of his visit. Jiang Ling did not refuse, but was quite enthusiastic.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I already know what you are asking for. Elder Baochan and I have a good relationship, and you are an innocent person. This matter is not difficult. Just leave it to me."
After saying this, he tremblingly stood up from the bamboo chair and walked out with Ye Yang to Wuyang Town.
Elder Baochan's face is covered with small yellowish bumps, similar to the toad's coat. Although he looks like a toad, his voice is like thunder and his throat is very loud.
Seeing Ye Yang following behind Jiang Ling, he said in a thunderous voice: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you know who this person is..."
Jiang Ling smiled slightly: "Elder Baochan, this is my Jiang family's guest official - Fellow Daoist Ye. This time he is going to Shanhai City. The journey is the same as yours, but it is difficult to go alone, so I thought of asking you to give him a ride."
When Elder Baochan heard this, he did not respond immediately, but thought about it in his mind. The trade route was dangerous, and in order to avoid chaos caused by thieves, he rarely traveled with outsiders.
However, Jiang Ling had a good relationship with him and also had a cooperative relationship with Baochan Chamber of Commerce. Elder Baochan laughed, thought about it for a while and finally agreed.
After all, businessmen are always happy to welcome people from all sides. Since the other party has the Baichanshan Jiang family as a guarantor, he can't be a bad person.
He sensed it carefully and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye is also a high-level cultivator in the martial arts realm. If he follows us, we will gain an advantage."
He has some of the blood of the three-legged golden toad in his body, and he has also cultivated the supernatural power of the toad spirit eyes. He sensed carefully, but the other party's aura was as deep as a mountain and he could not sense any specific magical power. He only felt that the other party was as steady as a mountain and his magic power was condensed and extraordinary.
"This is really strange. The cultivation methods of ordinary warriors are definitely impossible to be hidden from my spiritual eyes. How come I can't see the depth of this person?"
"I dare not. Elder Baochan is too polite. This journey is long. I would like to thank Elder Baochan for taking me with you."
The few people met and exchanged a few pleasantries, talking about some cultivation experiences. Facing this cultivator with the bloodline of the three-legged golden toad, Ye Yang felt that the opportunity was not to be missed and it was time to ask for advice.
So some confusions in the practice of Tianchan Babian Qi were raised.
In order to draw inferences from one instance to another.
After hearing that Ye Yang was also practicing a toad-like technique, Elder Baochan's brows suddenly showed a hint of intimacy.
After a conversation, Ye Yang learned that Elder Baochan was already at the fifth level of warrior and was about to condense his cultivation into the realm of evil spirit.
Baochan was slightly surprised to hear that he had reached the second level of martial arts.
Then he showed a hint of joy. It was always a good thing to have a strong man joining the caravan.
……
After all, Wuyang Town is not a big place and there are not many cultivators. The Baochan Chamber of Commerce stayed here for a short hour, bought some special spiritual products, and then set out on the journey again.
Ye Yang was arranged to sit on the back of the huge red-scaled centipede, not far from Elder Baochan.
Elder Baochan was a little surprised when he saw that he was dragging a giant turtle as big as an eight-immortal table behind him.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, what are you doing..."
Ye Yang opened the package, revealing the huge body of the Sun Chasing Flying Turtle inside, and then said: "To be honest, Elder, this is my mount, but it was injured by someone and has been unconscious ever since. I have no choice but to carry it with me, thinking of returning to the sect to ask for treatment from another expert."
"Oh? What sect or school does Fellow Daoist Ye come from?"
Ye Yang pondered for a moment. The relationship between Feitian Sect and Wudu Sect was not harmonious at present, and the other party was helping Wudu Sect to deliver the poison, so he wanted to avoid possible trouble.
He randomly picked a name and said, "It comes from the Wulian Sect, which is not a big sect. It's normal that Elder Baochan has never heard of it."
"This sect is indeed quite unfamiliar."
Elder Baochan did not doubt it, but instead turned his attention back to the unconscious Sun-Chasing Flying Turtle.
"I am also proficient in the art of taming beasts. Why don't you let me see what's going on?"
"This is as it should be. Elder Baochan, please watch."
Elder Baochan walked to the front of the Sun-Chasing Flying Turtle, and carefully observed its shell. After a long time, he sighed.
Ye Yang frowned slightly and felt heavy in his heart when he heard this.
"Elder Baochan, the situation is not optimistic."
Elder Baochan sighed slightly, carefully stroked the carapace of the Sun-Chasing Turtle, which was almost cut in half by the sword, and shook his head.
"The person who attacked was truly terrifyingly powerful. This sword energy can not only destroy the body but also the soul. Fortunately, the tortoise shell is strong and fellow Taoist used a special spiritual technique to keep him alive, so he has survived until now."
“I wonder if there is any way to save it?
"Although the external injuries of this turtle are serious, it is easy to treat. The most difficult part is that its soul was injured by the sword energy, which is the most difficult to treat."
He paused, thought for a moment, and then said hesitantly, "If you really want to treat him, there are ways."
Ye Yang was delighted and bowed quickly.
"Please let me know, Elder."
"Although this method is feasible, it is too difficult." Elder Baochan said, "There is a sect near our destination called Feitian Sect. There is a purple lightning silver peach tree planted in the sect. This tree is extremely strong and yang, and contains the power of thunder. If we can use this wood to boil into plasma and soak the tortoise shell for three days, then this danger will be resolved."
After he finished speaking, he sighed leisurely, "It's just that there are many masters in the Feitian Sect, and the Purple Lightning Silver Peach is the sect's treasure, which is of utmost importance and extremely difficult to obtain. I heard that the sect beat a senior in the realm of true person to death for this tree. It's really terrifying!"
After saying this, he looked frightened, as if he could already feel the earth-shaking nature of that battle.
After all, he came from another place and had only heard about Feitianmen. He didn't know that the person in front of him was the guardian of Feitianmen.
Ye Yang didn't want to reveal his identity, so he sighed: "The Feitian Gate is indeed extraordinary. Although this matter is difficult, at least there is a hope, which is better than running around like a headless fly."
Elder Baochan nodded. He had already told the method, and whether it would succeed was not within his consideration.
……
The two talked as they walked along the way, and before they knew it, several sunrises and sunsets had passed.
The Baochan Chamber of Commerce has a fixed route to the Five Poison Sect. Every year they follow this route from south to north and then from east to west.
The journey was quite tiring.
The mountain road is full of rugged rocks and lush vegetation. It is already a hot summer day.
The weather in the mountains was cold, and many wild flowers were just beginning to bloom. A drizzle was falling, so everyone put on their straw raincoats and drove the beast carts faster, not daring to slow down their journey.
After crossing several mountains and walking across an old stone bridge, they arrived at the vast and boundless Tongtian River.
There was a drizzle, the Tongtian River was endless, and the white fog was so thick that the true appearance of the river could not be seen clearly.
Elder Baochan called on everyone to start cooking underground, and soon a delicious smell wafted over the air.
As the sky was getting dark and a rainstorm was approaching, Elder Baochan took out a pot of spirit wine and walked to Ye Yang's side.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please forgive me for being a little shabby while out on the road."
Ye Yang shook his head: "What did Elder Baochan say? You have done your best to bring me here. Why would you complain?"
Elder Baochan laughed loudly: "Let me introduce it to you. This is the red mushroom wine from Lilliput Country. It is shocking to say that it is made from fermented mushrooms. The wine tastes delicious and mixed with the natural fragrance of the mountains and fields. You may as well give it a try."
Ye Yang was quite surprised to hear that mushrooms could be used to make wine.
"It is true that there is nothing strange in this world."
Elder Baochan said, "The Tongtian River is turbulent and there are many monsters. Why don't we stay here for one night? Tomorrow morning, the flying monkeys will come to the vast river to make a living by ferrying people across it."
"After we pay the spirit stones, we can take a bamboo raft and cross the Tongtian River. Then we can travel eastward for thousands of miles and reach the territory of the Five Poison Sect."
Ye Yang nodded: "It's up to Elder Baochan to arrange."
During this period, Ye Yang practiced the Withering and Flourishing Hand every day in the caravan, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, and the energy of the withering and flourishing of plants and trees. His injuries have almost healed.
In addition, the celestial toad likes water and is close to trees. At this moment, the vast Tongtian River is rolling in, and the sound of water is gurgling. On the contour of the river bank, it makes people feel even more close and fond of it.
Ye Yang sat on the stone cliff by the river, meditating cross-legged.
Those half-demons finally made it through the difficult mountain road and relaxed one by one. They set up tents, drank wine, ate meat, played pitch pots, and wrestled in the tents, having a lot of fun.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the surging river waves move with the wind. The sky and the earth are the same color, silver-gray everywhere, the stars are twinkling, and the Milky Way is hanging upside down. Ye Yang can't help but think of a sentence.
"We are like a mayfly in the world, a grain of sand in the vast ocean."
He sighed softly. Compared to the vast sky, humans are so small, even monks.
Even for a person as strong as a True Person, after swallowing a golden elixir, his life span would only be extended to 600 years. Compared with this vast universe, it is really not worth mentioning.
Elder Baochan, who was standing by, had not yet rested. Hearing Ye Yang's words, he said, "What a person who is like a mayfly in the universe, a grain of sand in the vast ocean."
"Fellow Daoist Ye has a broad mind. He has the ambition to swallow up the heavens and earth, and the heart to embrace the universe. Just from this one sentence, we can see that his mind is extraordinary."
Ye Yang shook his head: "Elder Baochan, you are too kind. These are the words of the ancients. I just had some feelings at the time."
Elder Baochan was slightly embarrassed and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I saw the white powder you used these days. It is very effective in healing bones and tendons and treating external injuries. I wonder what it is."
Ye Yang took out a pack of paper and unfolded it slowly. There was a faint blue light in the white powder.
He said, "This is the Blue Moon Spirit Lotus powder, which is best at healing external injuries."
"It turns out that it was made by Lan Yue Ling He. Why did I say that the effect is so good?"
During this period, some people were occasionally injured on the trade route, and Ye Yang took out the powder to treat them, which was surprisingly effective.
His eyes lit up. After all, when traveling on the business road, it was inevitable to encounter various dangers.
