Chapter 25: The Blood Case of Pi Gu

  Just as Yang Lei was sighing and feeling regretful, a black steed had already taken his elder brother Yang Fan away from Wuliuyi Town by two or three hundred miles.

  On the official road, dust and smoke billow.

  "Let's go!"

  Yang Fan shouted loudly, holding a horse whip, one man and one horse rushed forward quickly.

  Sitting on this horse, feeling the wind whizzing past his ears, Yang Fan's heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

  He used to be a genius in the neighboring Yang family, and since he entered the "Condensing Spirit" period and flew with his sword, he never thought that he would have a day when he would ride a horse again.

  In this cultivation world, the Condensing Spirit stage is not a small threshold. If you see cultivators flying with swords in the sky or passing by with transcendent light, they are undoubtedly above the Condensing Spirit stage.

  The Condensation Period represents a dream of flying in the sky, a realm yearned for by countless low-level cultivators. However, this dream is only an unattainable fantasy for more than half of these low-level cultivators.

  In the Xianxia world, there is even a saying that if you haven't entered the Condensing Spirit stage, then you can't be considered a true cultivator or immortal.

  Since leaving Wuliuyi Town yesterday, Yang Fan has been galloping non-stop on his horse.

  However, Yang Fan was full of energy and had a strong recovery ability, but the horse under his feet could not withstand it.

  When they reached a continuous mountain range, Yang Fan's horse finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground, only spitting out white foam.

  Yang Fan almost didn't get thrown off, staring at the panting Ma Pi on the ground, with black lines bursting forth from his forehead, his heart racing anxiously.

  At this moment, the scorching sunlight shines down from the sky.

  "Damn weather, I forgot to prepare fodder for the horse."

  Yang Fan himself didn't feel anything, and he continued to rush on the road for a whole day and night without feeling hungry or thirsty. However, it was precisely because he himself didn't have any feelings that he neglected the physical strength of his mount.

  Since entering "Xian Hong Jue", Yang Fan discovered that he not only had a strong recovery ability, but also possessed the Bi Gu Dan in advance.

  Generally, only when a cultivator has entered the third major realm of cultivation, "Foundation Establishment", do they truly possess the ability to abstain from food. Without relying on the effects of "Abstention Pills", they can go half a month without eating a single grain and still live normally.

  As for the foundation-building period and below, if you want to practice long-term closed-door meditation, you can only rely on "Bigu Dan".

  As soon as he thought of "Bì Gǔ Dān", Yang Fan's eyes lit up, and he secretly said to himself: "Why not give this dark horse a 'Bì Gǔ Dān' to try?"

  If it can make human monks abstain from food, then giving this black horse a pill might also have the same effect.

  Without hesitation, Yang Fan took out a small jade bottle from his storage bag and poured out a white pill, which he then fed to the black horse by prying open its mouth.

  Yang Fan thought for a moment and then took out another calabash and gave it some water.

  After doing all this, Yang Fan just observed from the side.

  After a while, this dark horse actually began to show spirit and its vitality gradually became more vigorous.

  After a half-bowl of tea's worth of effort, the black horse was spirited and vigorous, its four hooves trampling the ground in place, leaving behind a pile of hoof prints.

  Yang Fan was overjoyed, jumped onto the black horse, swung his whip and shouted loudly: "Drive! Drive!"

  In an instant, this dark horse was like a strong wind, flying forward at a speed that surpassed its previous fastest by several degrees.

  Dada dada! Dada dada!

  This speed made Yang Fan feel extremely comfortable, and it was no less than flying with a sword.

  Yang Fan surpassed one by one fast horse on the official road, making people involuntarily admire.

  "That black horse is quite impressive, could it be the legendary steed of a thousand miles?"

  The masters of those mounts that were surpassed by Yang Fan couldn't help but be shocked and amazed at the ferocity of Yang Fan's black horse.

  However, as he rode on, Yang Fan gradually felt something was off.

  The black horse sat down, and suddenly there were abnormal signs, a surge of vitality.

  Finally, this dark horse was even slightly trembling.

  "What's going on?"

  Yang Fan was perplexed and hastily placed his hand on the black horse's back, a strand of life mist infused into the horse's body.

  After a moment, Yang Fan's face changed greatly, feeling that the life force in Hei Ma's body had expanded to an extreme limit.

  No good!

  He hastily jumped off his horse, did a somersault in mid-air, and barely managed to steady himself.

  Just as he landed, something strange happened suddenly.

  Boom!

  The black horse suddenly went mad, its speed increasing several times, its eyes filled with blood, and it let out a soul-shocking scream.

  Suddenly, the black horse galloped wildly, and the horses on the road heard its sound and fell down one after another.

  In a short while, half of the official road was in chaos, with countless casualties and accompanied by waves of mournful cries.

  What's more, this dark horse finally rushed to the front of a long queue of several hundred feet, and with its whinnying, all the horses in the team were frightened out of their wits, people and horses overturned.

  "Ah!"

  When Yang Fan saw this chaotic scene, he was also stunned. He looked up and scanned the surroundings, only to find that the ordinary people around him were staring at him with anger in their eyes.

  Some even drew their swords and bows, ready to take action at any moment.

  "Alas, it seems that the 'Bixiandan' used by this cultivator may not be suitable for ordinary humans or animals. The study of Caomu Lingdan is also vast and profound, waiting to be further explored. However, how to deal with the current situation..."

  Yang Fan also had a helpless expression on his face.

  How could he have imagined that a small "Pi Gu Dan" would cause such a great disaster, with over a hundred people injured.

  Especially the preceding mighty fleet of vehicles, not only were people injured, but also goods in the horse-drawn carriages were overturned and spilled out.

  "Huh?"

  Yang Fan suddenly found that one of the horse-drawn carriages had actually overturned and spilled out some medicinal herbs.

  If they were ordinary medicinal materials, that would be fine. However, some of these medicinal materials can actually be used in the Cultivation Realm and not only cure injuries and illnesses but also refine spiritual pills and medicines.

  " Ignorant child!"

  Soon, two knights rushed out of the cavalry team, with a sharp aura all over their bodies. They walked in front of Yang Fan and shouted: "How did you ride your horse?"

  Pfft!

  In the cavalry, there was a ruthless young man who drew his treasured sword, and with a flash of cold light, stabbed it into the black horse's neck.

  With a mournful whinny, Yang Fan's black horse died.

  "Come quickly with me to see the master!"

  Two knights drew their swords and threatened him.

  In their eyes, Yang Fan was a weak and feeble scholar who could be easily taken advantage of.

  "Good."

  Yang Fan was calm and composed, following two knights to the front of a luxurious carriage in the convoy ahead, but his gaze fell on these overturned carriages.

  As a result, he found that these horse-drawn carriages were all loaded with medicinal materials.

  "There are so many medicinal herbs, even several dozen ordinary storage bags can't hold them all."

  Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself: "Could it be that this convoy belongs to some immortal family or sect, with influence in the mortal world?"

  For example, "Nan Lin Yang Jia" is also a secular power with ordinary human influence, responsible for collecting Xian materials, Tian Cai Di Bao, and children with Xian talents.

  "Old master, the one who caused trouble is this person."

  The cold-blooded young man who had just pulled out his sword and killed Yang Fan's black horse said.

  For a time, on this half-official road, Yang Fan became everyone's public enemy.

  "Heh heh, young man, who told you to do this?"

  The carriage curtains opened, and a middle-aged scholar in his forties or fifties smiled. He was dressed elegantly, with an air of superiority about him.

  "My horse suddenly went out of control for some reason and caused this chaos at the moment, it was not instructed by anyone else."

  Yang Fan said calmly and slowly, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a calm and composed tone.

  He, on the other hand, seemed completely unbothered by the whole thing.

  "Old master, hand this person over to me for punishment. If I don't beat him half to death, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart."

  The cold and detached young man beside him, with a glint of icy light in his eyes, Yang Fan glanced at this person out of the corner of his eye and found that he was actually a congenital martial artist in the secular world.

  The middle-aged scholar was just about to speak when a cold laugh suddenly came from a carriage behind him, "This child has obviously given the horse some kind of spiritual medicine from the cultivation world."

  As soon as the words fell, a slender purple-robed woman walked out of that carriage.

  This woman is extremely beautiful, with a clear and elegant appearance that surpasses all others. Her skin is as white as snow, her face is as delicate as a flower, and she truly has the beauty of a flower in bloom. Moreover, she has an otherworldly aura about her.

  However, this purple-robed woman had an air of arrogance, looking down on the crowd in the field as if they were ants.

  Yang Fan was shocked in his heart, not because of the woman's beauty, but because the other party was also a cultivator.

  Late-stage Qi Refining cultivator!

  What shocked him even more was that this woman could also discern the reason behind Hei Ma's madness.

  "Miss Lin!"

  "Lin Xianzi!"

  The people around the carriage all bowed and paid their respects, with expressions of reverence on their faces.

  The middle-aged scholar sighed lightly: "Yu'er, let this person be handled by you."

  It turned out that this purple-robed woman was actually the daughter of a middle-aged noble official, named Lin Yu.

  "Yes, father, this person may be weak in power, but he must have been instructed by a cultivator, let me interrogate him for a while."

  Having said that, Lin Yu had someone bring Yang Fan in front of him.

  Bang!

  Lin Yu stretched out her jade finger, pointed across the air, and a ray of spiritual light flashed.

  Acupoint technique!

  Yang Fan's body was unable to move, and he slightly froze: This was clearly an upgraded version of the Xianjie Dianxue Technique.

  Then, Lin Yu took out a bright red pill from the storage bag, snapped her fingers and sent it into Yang Fan's mouth.

  "What did you give me to eat?"

  Yang Fan asked with a hint of surprise.

  "Red Poison Pill."

  "What? The Scarlet Poison Pill!"

  Yang Fan was startled, he had browsed through the contents of "Refining Dan Pian" and obviously knew what kind of poison Chi Du Dan was.

  "Hmph, even if it's an ordinary cultivator, taking one pill would be like being engulfed in flames, better off dead than alive."

  Lin Yu coldly smiled.

  Yang Fan's face was full of weird colors.

  But... but... he somehow felt a warmth spreading through his body.

  Is... is this really the Scarlet Poison Pill?

  Yang Fan couldn't help but look at Lin Yu with a suspicious gaze.
