Chapter Seventeen: Rescue

  Gǔ yún fell to the ground, retracting his wings behind him. This time, however, his clothes did not become tattered and worn like they had in previous instances, but instead remained completely unscathed - a testament to Gǔ yún's recent accomplishments in refining his equipment.

  The garment on his body was made by him using some silk and gold and silver threads, without any defensive capabilities, just to make his wings come out afterwards he didn't want to be naked.

  After thoroughly searching everything on these people, a three-colored flame was emitted from his hand, burning several people into ashes. After a gust of wind blew over, nothing was left behind.

  After destroying the corpse with Samadhi True Fire, Gu Yun took out his spoils of war and looked at them. Among the three Qiankun bags searched from those big men, there were some daily necessities and a few thumb-sized crystal stones.

  Ancient saying goes: this is indeed the spiritual stone used by cultivators.

  And the other young man and the old man were both wearing a乾坤bracelet. The space inside was not even half as large as the one on Gu Yun's hand, it belonged to a low-grade type, and there wasn't anything good inside either. The old man's bracelet had a flying sword inside, similar to the one he held in his hand earlier, and also a bottle of Dan medicine, used for recovering spiritual energy consumed during battle.

  There are more than ten crystal stones, but they are better than those three big men's and their heads are also much bigger.

  The young man's was almost the same as the old man's, but the crystal stones were many more than the old man's. Gu Yun counted them and found that there were more than twenty pieces.

  It can be seen from these things that the treatment of subordinates with similar strength is different. Of course, those with a background are different. Also, the net they used to catch the white stone was also taken away by Gǔ Yún.

  Gu Yun threw all these miscellaneous things into the Qian Kun bracelet given to him by his father, as for the Dragon God Ring, he didn't plan to use it to hold these things.

  He looked at the two long ditches on the ground, each three zhang long, one meter wide and five or six meters deep. These were caused by his two attacks.

  As expected, his master was right, this sneak attack is indeed more convenient than a head-on confrontation.

  If these five people were to clash with him head-on today, he wouldn't be confident of keeping them all here; it's possible that he might even end up getting slightly injured himself.

  Now I've only ambushed them twice, and yet they didn't even have time to make a move before they lost their lives at my hands. It seems that in the future, I must continue to develop this style.

  Unconsciously, Gu Yun's personality had quietly undergone a change, developing in the direction that Zei Pianzi had hoped for.

  According to legend, he turned around and rode on the back of a white stone towards his destination, Jingyang County, which was his original goal, only that at the time he did not know its name.

  Now Gu Yun knew, and he also killed the son of the county master and his subordinates. However, Gu Yun did not have the idea of detouring. First, he didn't know which county city was closer to here, even if he knew, he wouldn't go around.

  He killed the son of the governor of Jingyang and no one knew, so even if he got there, nothing would happen, so he continued to head towards his destination.

  Like this, after three days, Gu Yun finally walked out of the forest. Now in front of him was a vast plain, at the end of which stood a magnificent city.

  Looking at the nearby Jingyang County, Gyun's heart was filled with excitement. This is where his journey begins, and he is about to start his adventure.

  He turned Bai Shi back into that little bear's appearance and had him follow by his side. In a place with so many cultivators, it was better to keep a low profile. He wasn't afraid of trouble, but he also didn't want to stir up any unnecessary problems.

  As he was walking towards the county town with his feet in motion, suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky and made a loud noise after which it hit the ground and created a hole.

  An old saying has it that he walked quickly towards there, came to there one look, turned out to be a person, he from such a high place fell down, unexpectedly still not dead, looks also isn't what weak person, however at this moment already fainted past.

  Ancient Cloud gazed at this person, who appeared to be in his forties, wearing a white brocade robe that was now disheveled.

  It's said that at a glance, you can tell this person must have suffered severe injuries. When flying with the sword, he was severely injured and fell from above. At this moment, his meridians are broken in many places, both hands have several fractures, and his body is covered in scars.

  Looking at this person's pitiful appearance, Gu Yun shook his head. He didn't expect that as soon as he came out, he would return to his old profession and have to save someone again.

  A mass of white spiritual mist emanated from Gu Yun's hands, enveloping the person's body. The white spiritual mist surged around his wounds, and with a squirming of flesh and blood, the wound healed rapidly.

  The white spiritual energy continued to penetrate inside, and the fractured bones on his hands also slowly began to heal until they were fully restored.

  Watching these wounds all heal, Gu Yun also let out a breath of relief. Now it's time to treat the meridians in his body. This is not so easy, and this is something that Gu Yun can only do after he has just advanced to the Hui Chun realm. If it were before, he would not have been able to do it at all.

  Because this treatment requires a large amount of yuan god's power to control one's own rejuvenating true energy entering the other person's meridians.

  The body of a cultivator is very resistant to the invasion of foreign true energy, even if you are here to help him treat it, he will not appreciate it.

  This requires the person being treated to control their own true energy and not attack the rejuvenating true energy.

  So this treatment is dangerous for both of them, and if something goes wrong, both of their lives will be in danger. At the very least, that doctor will definitely suffer serious injuries, because the Rejuvenation True Qi focuses on healing rather than attacking.

  But now, no one would come to restrain their true energy. Fortunately, this person was seriously injured and the true energy in his body had almost dried up. Gu Yun also had fewer worries, controlling his own Revival True Energy as it entered the opponent's body in a thread-like state.

  As expected, Gu Yun's Returning Spring True Qi was attacked as soon as it approached the opponent's meridians, but it didn't pose much of a threat. Gu Yun easily dissipated that strand of true qi.

  But in this process, Gu Yun also discovered that his Rejuvenating True Qi had actually absorbed a part of the opponent's True Qi to strengthen himself, which surprised him, but Gu Yun didn't think too much about it.

  Controlling the Rejuvenating True Qi, he connected the broken meridians inside his opponent's body and nourished them with the Rejuvenating True Qi. Before long, one of the breaks was repaired by Gu Yun, who then shifted his target to the next break.

  After a moment, Gu Yun was already drenched in sweat. The person's injuries had mostly healed, and the meridians inside their body had been restored by Gu Yun. However, they would still need to undergo a period of recuperation. After all, Gu Yun had only recently advanced, so the effect wasn't as good as it could be.

  It's just that the other party's primordial infant hasn't recovered yet, and during the treatment, Gu Yun also discovered that this person's cultivation had already reached the stage of combining bodies, which was even higher than his own by a few levels. He really didn't know what kind of person he had offended to end up in such a miserable state.

  Just as Gu Yun was wondering what kind of trouble this person had gotten into, he heard a low "hmm" sound, and the person who had been lying on the ground just now sat up.

  "I didn't die after all."

  As soon as he sat up, this person said the first sentence. Then after checking his body condition, he was even more overjoyed to find that all his injuries had healed, and even the broken meridians had been restored. "What's going on?"

  "With such a serious injury, he didn't die and his injuries have already healed," the man muttered to himself in excitement, completely unaware of Gu Yun standing behind him.

  "You want to die so badly? It seems I shouldn't have saved you." Gu Yun said with a hint of amusement.

  "Ah", hearing this sudden sentence from behind, the person was stunned for a moment. However, he immediately turned around and bowed to Gu Yun, saying: "Thank you, sir, for saving me. I just didn't dare believe it at first. Please forgive my abruptness."

  Looking at this person who is a big shot and has a higher status than himself, Gu Yun felt somewhat surprised. "Don't call me old man, I'm still younger than you by a bit."

  "Master, your medical skills are superb, as expected." The ancient saying didn't know the realm of returning spring, but this person in front of him knew. As soon as he saw that his meridians had been cured, he knew it was a doctor from the realm of returning spring who had taken action.

  But what he couldn't figure out was how the people in these legends ended up coming to a place where even birds wouldn't shit.

  When he saw clearly that it was just a young man, his heart was even more horrified. He had reached the realm of returning to spring at such a young age, and he didn't know where he came from.

  "I am Li Jinyang, I don't know your honorable surname? What brings you here?" Li Jinyang respectfully asked Gu Yun, in his heart he had already regarded Gu Yun as a young master of some super sect.

  "My name is Gu Yun, I came out this time just to broaden my horizons." As for the other party's constant "sir" address, Gu Yun didn't say anything else, after all, the cultivation world was indeed such a place.

  "Oh, I wonder which sect Master Gu belongs to. And where did your followers go?" Li Jinyang asked with a smile, it seemed that his guess was indeed correct, this young man must be a disciple who came out of a big sect to practice."

  "I don't belong to any sect, I came out this time alone with a pet I raised, no followers." Gu Yun replied.

  Li Jinyang was so excited by Gu Yun's answer that he almost jumped up.

  This guy who's good at saving himself isn't a disciple of those big sects, it seems he's a disciple of those hidden world people, otherwise he wouldn't have come out without bringing a single follower.

  You should know that imperial doctors always go out with a large entourage, they themselves have no combat power and it's very dangerous not to bring an entourage.

  It seems that one's luck is not ordinary after all, being able to encounter a lone medical cultivator who has reached the Revival Realm.

  Not even a single guard was present, if he were to absorb his entire essence, his cultivation would definitely advance by another realm. As for Gu Yun's gratitude for saving his life, he didn't have it in his heart from the start.

  If Gu Yun knew what was going on in this person's mind, whom he had worked so hard to save, he would probably faint from anger.

  "Since the master is also going to the city ahead, why not stay at my humble abode for a few days and let me show some hospitality as a host to thank you for saving my life?"

  Li Jinyang's heart was filled with joy, but his mouth still spoke to Gu Yun with unusual respect.

  It's said that he thought to himself that he would have to go to the city anyway to ask about the route to the Medical God's Gate, so it wouldn't be bad to follow this person back, and this person should know.

  "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Li," Gu Yun said with a bow.

  "No trouble, no trouble," he said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get it." Of course, he wouldn't be able to get it, but which aspect, that's hard to say.
