Chapter 25: The Ancestor of the Yellow River

  "Uh, this "Laughing in the Windy and Dusty World" score contains a large section of the ultimate song "Guangling San", the original score cannot be given to anyone at will."

  Luó Zhàn walked out of "Green Bamboo Residence" with a glint in his eyes, thinking to himself, "The Smile Proudly by the Riverside Melody" is such a precious piece that even in the main world, it's not easy to come across such an excellent melody. He wouldn't easily give the score to Rén Yíngyīng, the Holy Maiden of the Day and Night Cult.

  Immediately, Luo Zhen slightly shook his head and stopped thinking about it. With a swift pace, he walked out of the bamboo forest, bidding farewell to "Green Bamboo Residence" as he set off on a long journey, still having other matters to attend to without staying behind.

  Two days later, Luo Zhuang's trail appeared in Kaifeng, and the silver was spent as if it were worthless. In the end, he found out the whereabouts of "Huanghe Old Ancestor", or rather, one of the "Huanghe Old Ancestors", "Old Head"'s residence.

  The "Xu Ming Ba Wan" was a precious elixir that had taken the old man over ten years to refine, and it was precisely this treasure that he wanted to use to cure his daughter's illness.

  "Master, this is the residence of one of the 'Yellow River Elders', Old Man!"

  At dawn, outside a serene and elegant mansion, two figures suddenly stopped in their tracks. One of them, a slender man with a respectful expression, bowed his head and clasped his fists in greeting to a young man wearing a green robe.

  "Go ahead then."

  The young man in green outside the mansion was Luo Zhu, who had rushed from Luoyang's "Green Bamboo House" to Kaifeng on horseback. The purpose of Luo Zhu's trip was also very clear: the elixir with a purely yang property - "Eight Life-Extending Pills".

  Looking at the elegant residence in front of him, Luo Zhan nodded slightly. This kind of dwelling was obviously the result of the "old man" putting a lot of thought into his daughter's recuperation. Then, Luo Zhan flipped out a silver ingot and walked towards the entrance of the mansion amidst the thin man's thousand thanks and ten thousand apologies.

  "Thrice I knock... Is the venerable 'Old Ancestor of the Yellow River' at home? His junior has come to pay a visit!"

  Immediately, Luo Zhuang arrived at the gate of the mansion and knocked three times. He then took a deep breath and let out a loud "lion's roar", which resonated like thunder and surged like a tide. In an instant, it transformed into a series of strange fan-shaped sound waves that swept towards the interior of the mansion.

  "How dare you! Who are you? How bold of you to shout loudly in front of the gate, disturbing an old man's fishing!"

  As soon as Luo Zhuang's loud voice fell, a furious shout came from afar, getting closer and closer. Before the sound had even faded away, it was accompanied by a gust of evil wind, swiftly arriving and violently opening the courtyard gate.

  "Elder, please don't be angry, I'm Luo Zhan, younger generation pays respects."

  An old man appeared, Luo Zhen's trip was to get his spiritual medicine - "Eight Life-Extending Pills". He didn't hesitate, took a step forward, clasped his fists and saluted.

  "What a rascal! Can this old man also be visited casually like some petty thief?"

  Looking at Luo Zhen who was making a fist and bowing, the old man "Huanghe Laozu" did not take it kindly. With an angry face, he scolded him loudly and then directly pushed out with one palm, slapping Luo Zhen's chest. It seemed that he was extremely annoyed by Luo Zhen's disturbance of his elegant residence.

  "Hmph..."

  Facing the old man's incoming palm, Luo Zhan shook his head helplessly and immediately stretched out his right index finger, which seemed to move slowly but actually moved quickly, pointing forward with a faint breaking sound.

  "Boom!"

  "Thud...thud..."

  The next instant, with the collision of palms, a loud and dull sound burst forth after a moment's pause. The old man "Huanghe Laozu" stumbled backward several steps before regaining his balance.

  "You, you... I have no past grievances with you, nor recent resentment. Why come to bother an old man like me?"

  The old man who had just regained his footing, did not expect that a young boy would possess such incredible abilities and cultivation, and also possessed an unpredictable and mysterious finger technique.

  After a flash of thoughts in his mind, the old man "Huanghe Laozu" who couldn't figure out Luo Zhan's origin could only give up and took two steps forward with some surprise and uncertainty, pointing at Luo Zhan with a puzzled expression.

  "Elder, you worry too much. I've heard that you have the 'Life-Extending Eight Pellets' divine medicine, and I couldn't help but feel drawn to it. That's why I've come to visit you especially."

  The old man finally calmed down, Luo Zhen couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart. It seems that when doing things in the rivers and lakes, being polite and courteous is not as good as directly using one's strength to determine the outcome.

  "What? 'Life Extension Pills'! How did you know?! No way! This is the only chance for my old self's daughter to recover, it can't be given to anyone else!"

  As soon as Luo Zhu mentioned "Xu Ming Ba Wan", the old man Huang He Lao Zu's face changed drastically, he took two steps forward and asked several questions in a row. Then, as if thinking of Luo Zhu's profound and unpredictable cultivation, he retreated one step, his expression determined, and said with a decisive tone.

  Obviously, thinking of his daughter who had been bedridden for many years made the old man "Huanghe Laozu" extremely excited, and although Luo Zhenxiu was not a good doctor, he couldn't bear to give up the last straw that could cure his daughter's illness.

  "Elder, please calm down. I have some knowledge of medicine and was wondering if I could take a look at your daughter's condition? It's not certain that I can cure her, but it's worth a try!"

  The old man, known as the "Yellow River Old Ancestor", flatly refused. Luo Zhan seemed to have expected this and his expression didn't change at all. He changed the subject and calmly said something that made the old man's expression slightly relax.

  In the "Kunlun Secret Valley" where the scriptures were buried, Luo Zhan obtained a copy of the "Jiuyang True Scripture" and a "Xuan Tie Heavy Sword", as well as two precious medical secret books, one called "Medical Classics" and the other "Toxic Classics", which were the life's work of the "Mingjiao" couple Hu Qingniu.

  At this time, Luo Zhan used the theory of medical Taoism as a reason, but it was not entirely without any intention of exaggeration. After all, Luo Zhan had been involved in Chinese and Western medicine in his previous life and had read through "Huangdi Neijing" and "Shennong Bencaojing" in the "Kunlun Secret Valley".

  Some common incurable diseases in the world, as long as they don't take up too much time and energy, Luo Zhan is happy to help a little, this is also why Luo Zhan talks about medical skills with ease.

  "What? Can you, young hero, cure the illness of this old man's daughter?"

  As soon as Luo Zhu heard about the meeting and medical skills, "Old Yellow River" was overjoyed. His daughter, "Old Undead", had been extremely frail since childhood and had been bedridden for many years, rarely getting out of bed.

  At this time, he heard Luo Zhan's tone was calm and collected. Thinking that at such a young age, he had already possessed the powerful cultivation of the masters of various sects, the old man "Huanghe Laozu" became excited again.

  In short, over the past decade or so, the old man has been following the prescription of "Killer Doctor" Ping Yizhi to concoct eight pellets of "Pure Yang" elixir for his daughter, which may cure her illness.

  However, the medicinal power of "Xun Ming Ba Wan" is actually too yang, if his daughter "Lao Bu Si" swallows it, even if there is a chance of recovery, at the same time, she will also bear the unbearable medicinal power and end up with a tragic fate.

  At this moment, hearing Luo Zhu's words, even if "Huang He Lao Zu" didn't have much hope in his heart, he was also subconsciously unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.
