C21 The Crippled Old Man
The crippled old man.
"The poison of the Profound Frost Scorpion can only be cured by the Snow Lotus Pill."
After saying that, he continued to walk forward, but the crippled old man revealed a shocked expression. A bright light appeared in his eyes as he stared at Lingyang Tengyu's back. This was the first time someone had seen through the poison in his body. And he even knew how to cure the poison.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The next moment, the crippled old man was like a flowing light as he chased after Lingyang Tengyu. At the same time, the Vermillion Bird and the Azure Dragon also activated their strength. The former took out a scepter while the latter circulated his Spiritual Yuan and prepared to attack at any moment.
"I have no ill intentions. I just want to know if you can cure the poison in my body." The crippled old man looked at the Azure Dragon and the Vermillion Bird, who were emitting a sharp aura, and was secretly shocked. To be able to have such a person as a guard, the background of this young man in front of him definitely wasn't simple.
Lingyang Tengyu waved his hand, and the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird withdrew their auras. However, they still stared at the crippled old man vigilantly, as long as he made any unusual movements. In their eyes, the safety of their young master was the most important.
"The Snow Lotus Pill is a Grade Three Spiritual Herb, and it's a Grade Three Upper Grade Spiritual Herb. Why should I help you detoxify it?" Lingyang Tengyu said indifferently.
The crippled old man nodded when he heard this. Lingyang Tengyu was right. He was not related to Lingyang Tengyu. How could Lingyang Tengyu take out a Grade Three Upper Grade Spiritual Medicine to help him detoxify the poison for no reason?
"Little friend, tell me your condition. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it," the crippled old man said in a deep voice. This was a chance, and he didn't want to give it up for no reason.
"What kind of strength did you have before you were poisoned? And why did you get poisoned?" Lingyang Tengyu asked in a low voice, but he didn't answer the crippled old man's question directly.
The crippled old man said in a deep voice, "Before I was injured, I was High Level Mysterious Spirit Martial Master. I was poisoned back then."
At this time, the crippled old man's face revealed a helpless expression. Back then, he had trusted his good friend for many years. When the two of them went to search for the ancient trove, they also found earth stage ancient stash. However, it was a small earth stage ancient stash. In the end, he was tricked by his old friend. He was poisoned, and that old friend thought that he would die for sure. He didn't pay much attention to him, but he didn't expect the heavens to let him live.
Later on, he concealed his identity and looked for a good antidote, but because he needed to suppress the poison in his body, thus, his strength fell to that of an Essence Spirit Martial Master, Xiao Yuanman. The Universe Ring on his body was also taken away by his old friend. He had no money and was poisoned. He could only sell some of the ancient items he had obtained in his early years. However, not many people took a fancy to them.
"The scorpion poison in your body is about to spread to your heart. You can only hold on for one month at most," Lingyang Tengyu said softly. He was telling the truth, not scaring the crippled old man.
The crippled old man nodded. His body naturally knew that Lingyang Tengyu was not lying to him.
"But your luck is not bad. You met me today. If you are willing to follow me from now on, I can give you the Snow Lotus Pill," Lingyang Tengyu said with a smile. "If you are not willing, I will not force you. I will also give you the Snow Lotus Pill."
The five rusty items he had just picked were far more valuable than the Snow Lotus Pill. It was just that the crippled old man did not know what they were.
The crippled old man took a deep look at Lingyang Tengyu. The aura that Lingyang Tengyu gave off shocked him. Immediately, he said in a deep voice, "Little friend, you have already said so much. If I am not willing, I will not know what's good for me."
Immediately, he bowed to Lingyang Tengyu and said in a deep voice, "This old servant greets master."
Lingyang Tengyu personally helped him up. He smiled and said, "Let's go. Follow me to the Qin Family first. Find a secret room and consume the Snow Lotus Pill to help you remove the scorpion poison."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "You can just call me young master in the future. Master sounds a little awkward."
The crippled old man nodded his head, and an excited expression appeared on his face. He had been poisoned for more than three years, and now he finally had hope.
"Young Master Teng Yu, you are back!" Qin Tai was just about to leave when he bumped into Lingyang Tengyu. A smile emerged on his face as he hurriedly cupped his fists and said.
Lingyang Tengyu nodded his head and said, "Patriarch, if you have any matters to attend to, go ahead." Qin Tai didn't say anything else when he heard this. He smiled at Lingyang Tengyu and left the Qin Family.
In the secret chamber, Lingyang Tengyu handed the crippled old man a white snow lotus pill and said softly, "Next, it will depend on your luck. I have already given you the opportunity."
After Lingyang Tengyu left the secret chamber, the crippled old man suppressed his excitement and adjusted his condition. After that, he consumed the Snow Lotus Pill and began circulating his cultivation technique to refine the Snow Lotus Pill. This process required some time.
"Greetings, young master." The five young men and girls cupped their fists and greeted Lingyang Tengyu.
Lingyang Tengyu waved his hand and said, "There's no need for formalities. I'm afraid that earth stage ancient stash's appearance this time will attract a lot of people, so I want all of you to follow me into the ancient trove."
"Yes." The five of them replied in unison. Lingyang Tengyu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, please rest first. The barrier at the entrance of the ancient trove will only dissipate after three days. So, everyone should stay here and cultivate for the next three days.
There were quite a number of rooms in Lingyang Tengyu's courtyard. Originally, he had arranged a room for Xin Yuxi to rest in. However, Xin Yuxi smiled and said, "I'm not tired. Why should I rest? But I am curious about the things you just bought from the crippled old man."
He paused for a moment and curled his lips. "Don't lie to me. You are just buying and playing. I don't believe that young master Teng Yu will spend 50,000 Spirit Crystal Coin to buy some useless things."
"No one would be willing to buy a girl who's too smart," Ling Yang, Teng Yu, said faintly. However, since Xin Yuxi was unwilling to leave, he could not chase her away either.
"What a twisted logic. Who says that no smart girl wants it?" Xin Yuxi curled her lips. Teng Yu Ling Yang ignored her and took out the five rusty items he had bought from the crippled old man.
He threw three of them to the side because the three items were indeed tattered and useless. However, the remaining two items in his hands were not simple.
Ling Yang Teng Yu held one of the items. It looked like a black rock. Falling Star Spiritual Yuan rushed into the black rock, but there was no reaction.
About an hour later, the black substance on the black rock gradually dissipated, revealing its original appearance.
Suddenly, a golden light shone brightly. If it wasn't for Ling Yang Teng Yu setting up the barrier beforehand, it would have attracted a lot of people. At that time, it would be somewhat troublesome.
The golden light filled the room. Ling Yang, Teng Yu, and Xin Yuxi were somewhat unable to open their eyes because of the glaring golden light. Fortunately, the golden light only lasted for a few breaths of time before it gradually dissipated.
After that, a long golden whip appeared in Ling Yang's hand. It was emitting a powerful energy wave, which showed that this long golden whip was not simple.
Xin Yuxi looked at the long golden whip in Ling Yang's hand. She was a little lost in thought. Her eyes were filled with shock as she said in a deep voice, "Teng Yu, can you sell this long whip to me? I will give you a satisfactory price."
"The soft golden whip is made from the dragon tendon of a flood dragon. Although it had suffered a serious injury, it was still much stronger than an ordinary top grade spirit weapon. If I'm not mistaken, it should have been a top grade saint artifact at its peak. There is a chance that it can be upgraded to a divine weapon." Ling Yang, Teng Yu, said with a smile. With his experience, he could naturally see that this long golden whip was made from the dragon tendon of a flood dragon. He also knew that it wasn't at its peak condition.
"We can be considered friends. Besides, the Xin family and Ling Yang family have a good relationship. So, this Golden Silk Soft Whip is for you." Ling Yang, Teng Yu, passed the Golden Silk Soft Whip to Xin Yuxi. It was just a top grade saint artifact. Ling Yang, Teng Yu, did not pay too much attention to it.
Moreover, the Golden Silk Soft Whip wasn't suitable for him, so it was useless to keep it. Since Xin Yuxi needed it, he would give it to her.
"Give it to me?" Xin Yuxi was stunned for a moment. A charming smile appeared on her face, "As expected of young master Teng Yu. He gave away a top grade saint artifact without even blinking his eyes."
Xin Yuxi took the golden silk whip and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the things I took out will not enter young master Teng Yu's eyes. Since that's the case... No matter what kind of treasure I encounter in this Earth Grade ancient trove, I will try my best to help you fight for it.
Ling Yang Teng Yu looked at the solemn face of Xin Yuxi and smiled as he nodded and said, "Alright, then don't blame me for treating you as a powerful fighter when the time comes."
