Chapter 1926 1927: Guest Elder
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's nothing, my cooking is just average, maybe it's because you haven't eaten in a while."
Jiang Muxue was naturally not very satisfied with Ling Zhenfei's explanation; taste buds are not easily fooled.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Muxue seemed a bit curious about Ling Zhenfei and asked, "You should be a Guest Elder of Wuliang Mountain, are you going to the Foreign Land Space as well?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Of course."
Jiang Muxue nodded again, saying nothing more as they walked into the house they had visited last time.
Jiang Muxue knocked on the door from outside, and after hearing a voice inside, she pushed it open and said, "Master, I have brought Mr. Ling for you."
The person inside the room called out, "Then please bring him in quickly."
Led by Jiang Muxue, Ling Zhenfei entered the room.
It was a living room, where the old man was resting with his eyes closed on the chair.
After Ling Zhenfei came in, he opened his eyes and took a look at Ling Zhenfei, saying, "I thought Mr. Ling must be quite aged, but it turns out you are so young."
Jiang Muxue then introduced to Ling Zhenfei, "This is my master, Ye Wushan, currently an Elder of our Shu Mountain."
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly greeted, "Junior Ling Zhenfei greets Senior Ye."
Ye Wushan said, "No need for formalities, sit down quickly."
Ling Zhenfei then sat down beside Ye Wushan and asked, "How are you feeling now, Senior?"
Ye Wushan said, "I have mostly recovered; I never expected that person's poison to be so potent."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's good that you're alright now. Continue taking the medicine I left for you, and the remaining traces of poison will soon be expelled from your body."
Ye Wushan nodded, saying, "I really do owe you thanks."
Ling Zhenfei said, "No need for thanks, Senior; it's what we should do. I am very curious about one thing, if I might ask about the strength of the one who fought with you?"
Ye Wushan said, "That person's strength has reached the peak of the Pursue Heart State. I never expected his cultivation to advance so quickly."
Ling Zhenfei heard Ye Wushan's words and curiously asked, "Senior, does this mean you know him?"
Ye Wushan nodded and said, "Indeed, I know him; he is a traitor from Shu Mountain named Ye Wulong. We once cultivated together, but he ultimately became a traitor."
With the name Ye Wushan and Ye Wulong, the two naturally have some connection, and it's quite significant.
Ling Zhenfei still had some doubts in his heart and asked, "Senior, although I am young, I have some questions in mind; is it appropriate to ask?"
Ye Wushan said, "There are no outsiders here, ask whatever you wish."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I know that Shu Mountain is now occupied by people from Li Hen Palace; isn't Ye Wulong also one of them?"
Ye Wushan said, "Indeed, Ye Wulong is a member of Li Hen Palace."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then did you notice any changes in him after joining those forces?"
Ye Wushan thought for a moment and said, "Of course there are changes. Back then, during the competition for Elder of Shu Mountain, Ye Wulong was not my match, but now he can harm me.
Another change lies in his cultivation technique, which has become more vicious and carries many evil elements."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and asked, "With your strength and realm, this shouldn't be your first time going to the Foreign Land Space, right?"
Ye Wushan nodded, "I have indeed been to the Foreign Land Space before."
"Have you ever fought with the Demon Hunters?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
Ye Wushan said, "Naturally."
Ling Zhenfei continued to ask, "Do you think Ye Wulong's cultivation technique is somewhat similar to the Demon Hunters from the Foreign Land Space?"
Ling Zhenfei's words surprised Ye Wushan, evident in his eyes.
After a while, he asked, "Why do you ask this?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I won't hide it from you, Senior. I know several predecessors who went to the Foreign Land Space twenty years ago, and they were all attacked by Demon Hunters before they left.
Although they managed to escape, they were all wounded and poisoned, and the poison they suffered is the same as the poison you had.
That's why I asked this; if this person's cultivation technique truly resembles that of the Demon Hunters, then this issue becomes intriguing. Who learned the foreign cultivation technique, and what is this person's purpose?"
Ye Wulong nodded, "What you say is indeed an issue; when we meet with the major sects at Xianling Mountain, I will inform them."
Ye Wulong looked at Ling Zhenfei with a trace of admiration, then asked, "Your Medical Arts are indeed impressive. As you know, our Shu Mountain Sword Sect has existed for thousands of years, though it has had its twists, but the foundation remains.
Our Shu Mountain Sword Sect's Medical Arts and elixirs were once very famous across the continent, but for various reasons, although there are still some practicing, they have become rare.
Talented individuals are unwilling to learn these things, and those who aren't talented don't achieve high accomplishments even if they practice them, leading to a shortage of talents in these areas.
So, when dealing with the poison on me, they were all at a loss; without you, curing me of my poison would have been very difficult."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I was only able to cure you so quickly because I had just treated three seniors earlier and had gained some experience."
Ye Wushan said, "Moreover, when I saw the elixirs you crafted, I was even more stunned. One of my martial uncles was also an elixir master, but he could not produce elixirs of your quality."
Ling Zhenfei thought to himself that the reason he could craft such excellent elixirs was largely due to the Phoenix Elixir Furnace; without this divine object, even great alchemy skills wouldn't be much use.
Ling Zhenfei said, "You flatter me, Senior."
Ye Wushan said, "It's not flattery, good is good, bad is bad. You helped cure me, and I have nothing to repay you with, but here is an ancient elixir recipe as a gift."
Ling Zhenfei wanted to decline, but thinking about it, although he had many ancient elixir recipes, not many were truly useful.
One reason is that ancient items don't match the present, and another is many ancient herbs have disappeared, so they can't be crafted now.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei accepted the recipe and expressed his gratitude.
Knowing he had said all he needed, and thanks were exchanged, Ling Zhenfei bid farewell to Ye Wushan.
Ye Wushan nodded and asked Jiang Muxue to see Ling Zhenfei out.
