Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 117: Eight Life-Extending Pills
Ren Yingying turned her gaze back and said calmly, "Get up, I have something to tell you."

The big man immediately got up from the ground, keeping his head down, not daring to look at Ren Yingying again.

He bowed his head and said, "Goddess, just send me orders. I will do anything for you, even if it means death!"

He was about forty or fifty years old. Although he was short and fat and looked extremely bloated, he did not look old. His name was "Old Man".

His original surname was Lao, and his daughter's name was even stranger: 'Lao Bu Si'.

Ren Yingying asked him, "How many people live in your villa?"

The old man replied respectfully, "Your Highness, there are only two of us here, my daughter and I. My daughter is ill in bed and cannot welcome you. Please forgive me."

Ren Yingying did not blame him, but said, "Since there are no outsiders, then I will open the door and let's talk at your house."

Two years ago, when Ren Yingying left Heimu Cliff and was on her way to Luoyang, she passed by nearby. The Green Bamboo Old Man who was accompanying her at the time told her that an old man, one of the ancestors of the Yellow River, lived here.

Green Bamboo Old Man also introduced to Ren Yingying that the old man had an only daughter, and the father and daughter depended on each other for survival, but Ren Yingying had never seen this daughter.

"Mr. Huang, please come in!"

Ren Yingying waved to Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi stepped forward and walked into the gate of the villa side by side with her.

The old man first closed the gate of the manor, then trotted all the way to welcome the two people into the living room in the front yard. Occasionally, he glanced at Huang Sixi, trying to figure out Huang Sixi's identity.

He wondered if this Mr. Huang was some powerful elder of the Divine Religion? But he looked very strange!

Besides, the Saint Lady is cold to everyone in the sect. Even when she meets the Eastern Sect Leader, she never tries to please him. No matter how powerful the elders are, they cannot get the Saint Lady's favor.

However, the Saint Lady was a little too enthusiastic towards Mr. Huang, which was quite unusual.

Huang Sixi and Ren Yingying sat down in the living room, and the old man stood aside with his head lowered, waiting for instructions.

Ren Yingying first asked Huang Sixi: "Mr. Huang, what do you think of this place?"

Huang Sixi nodded: "This area is beautiful and has a quiet environment. I feel very good about it."

Seeing that he was satisfied, Ren Yingying said to the old man, "Mr. Huang has been injured and plans to recuperate in your manor for a while. Can you vacate a room for Mr. Huang to live in?"

The old man quickly expressed his loyalty: "I will move out with my daughter immediately and let Mr. Huang live in the villa. I will deliver meals to the villa on time every day and ensure that Mr. Huang is well served!"

Huang Sixi felt that he was a guest and could not drive the host away, but the old man took the initiative to suggest moving out, perhaps because he did not want his daughter to live in the same yard with outsiders.

Huang Sixi kept silent for the time being. It would not be too late to discuss it after hearing the old man's specific intentions.

Ren Yingying said, "You just said that your daughter is bedridden. I guess her condition is serious. Is it appropriate to ask her to move around?"

"It fits! It fits very well!"

The old man had received a favor from Ren Yingying before, but Ren Yingying did not ask him to repay her. She only told him that if she needed him for anything in the future, he should do his best to handle it.

He was always waiting to serve Ren Yingying, but he never expected that Ren Yingying would come to him in person.

In order to repay Ren Yingying, the old man decided to offer a treasure to win credit: "Please wait for a moment, Saint Aunt. I have a treasure to offer to you. I'll be right back!"

Without waiting for Ren Yingying's response, the old man immediately turned back to the inner courtyard. He moved very quickly and returned with a tray in the blink of an eye.

"Please have a look, Saint Aunt!"

The old man placed the tray on the coffee table between Ren Yingying and Huang Sixi.

There were eight pills of different colors on the plate, green, red, black and purple.

"What is this?" Ren Yingying asked, pointing.

"These are the 'Eight Life-Sustaining Pills' I made, specially for healing wounds." The old man recounted the origin of the pills in a torrent of words:
"My daughter is born with a weak body and weak Qi and blood. She has been lying in bed all year round and has difficulty walking. I went to visit the genius doctor Ping Yizhi and asked him to treat my daughter. He found out that my daughter had this congenital disease in the womb. He gave me a prescription. I collected herbs according to the prescription and finally made the 'Eight Pills for Prolonging Life'."

Ping Yizhi is the most famous miracle doctor in the evil world. Few of the patients he treats cannot recover. The prescriptions and medicines he prescribes are also very effective in bringing people back to life, and he is well-known in the world.

"Ping Yizhi's prescription should be good." Ren Yingying picked up the pill and looked at it. She had a certain ability to distinguish pills. She asked:
"Your batch of pills is quite refined, so it should have taken quite some time to refine, right?"

"Saint Aunt, please judge for yourself! It took me twelve years to refine these pills!"

"Twelve years? You really put a lot of effort into it! What herbs did you use?"

"I have collected more than ten kinds of precious medicines, including thousand-year-old ginseng, Poria cocos, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, Polygonum multiflorum, Lingzhi, bear gall, Panax notoginseng, and musk. After steaming and drying them nine times, I finally made eight pills!"

"These eight pills are made for your daughter. They must be used to save her life. Give them to your daughter to take!"

Ren Yingying did not accept it with a smile.

The old man quickly explained: "Saint Aunt, actually Ping Yizhi that old bastard..."

He realized that he had lost his composure and quickly controlled his temper.

Calm down for a moment.

He added, "Ping Yizhi can't cure my daughter at all! The Eight Life-Prolonging Pills can only prolong her life, at most extending her life by a few years, but it can't cure her congenital disease at all! I can collect another batch of expensive medicinal materials to keep her alive, so she doesn't have to take the Eight Life-Prolonging Pills!"

Ren Yingying still shook her head: "It's not easy to extend my life. Giving it to your daughter means that your hard work over the past twelve years has not been wasted! I have no injuries or illnesses, so I really don't need these pills!"

She brought Huang Sixi to the villa purely to ask for a place to stay, and had no intention of asking the old man for any treasures.

But the old man insisted on offering it.

He turned his head and looked at Huang Sixi: "Since Mr. Huang is injured, why not let him take the Eight Life-Sustaining Pills? As long as Mr. Huang does not have a congenital disease, it will be more effective than what my daughter takes."

As early as when the temple was ruined, Ren Yingying had planned to give medicine to Huang Sixi, but since they were unfamiliar with each other, no matter how good her medicine was, even if it was an elixir that could bring the dead back to life, Huang Sixi might not be willing to take it.

She did not suggest giving away the medicine at that time.

Hearing the old man's words, she casually asked Huang Sixi, "Mr. Huang, are you interested in these eight life-extending pills?"

Huang Sixi knew that the Eight Life-Prolonging Pills were real healing pills, but their effects were a bit strange.

He first asked the old man: "I have also heard of the miraculous doctor Ping Yizhi. The medicine he prescribes is often the right medicine for the right condition. May I ask, old sir, when you first consulted Ping Yizhi, did he tell you that the tonic medicine Xu Ming Ba Wan is specially used for pure yin women?"

"This……"

The old man suddenly remembered that Ping Yizhi had indeed reminded him of this.

He couldn't help but look frustrated.

He took out the Eight Life-Extending Pills, originally intending to repay Ren Yingying, but neither Ren Yingying nor Huang Sixi needed his pills, and he was helpless.

"Saint Aunt, you also have a female physique, why don't you keep the Eight Life-Sustaining Pills with you and use them when you have time in the future?"

The old man turned his gaze to Ren Yingying again.

Ren Yingying glared at him and said, "I just said that I am not sick or injured and I don't need your medicine." When the old man heard Ren Yingying's tone getting heavier and she seemed to be getting impatient, he didn't dare to say anything more. He picked up the tray and was about to return to the inner courtyard.

Huang Sixi suddenly stopped him and said, "I know a little bit about medicine. If you can't find a way to cure your daughter, let me take her pulse."

Huang Sixi would not stay in the old man's villa for nothing. If he could provide some medical assistance to the old man's daughter, Ren Yingying would not have to owe the old man a favor, and he would be worthy of Ren Yingying's introduction, so that all three parties would be satisfied.

Ren Yingying heard that Huang Sixi wanted to take the initiative to treat the disease and smiled slightly: "Mr. Huang is actually a medical expert? Then I must see him for myself!"

Seeing that Ren Yingying had agreed, the old man naturally would not object, but he did not have any hope in Huang Sixi's medical skills.

In the past twelve years, the old man not only refined the Eight Life-Prolonging Pills, but also traveled all over the world to hire famous doctors, but no one could cure his daughter's congenital disease. They all said it was incurable, and he had already accepted his fate.

He led Huang Sixi and Ren Yingying to the inner courtyard and entered a bedroom.

When Huang Sixi and Ren Yingying stepped into the room, they smelled the whole room filled with the smell of medicine and couldn't help but sniff.

There was a bed on the left, on which lay a girl, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as Ren Yingying, but her face was pale, without a trace of blood, and her hair was yellow.

She is the old man's daughter, 'Old Immortal'.

She had been ill and bedridden for years, and her weak eyes could not even open. When she heard footsteps, she whispered, "Dad!"

Still with eyes closed.

"No, there's another miracle doctor here to treat you! Once he cures your illness, you can get out of bed and play!"

The old man comforted his daughter as if he were coaxing a child.

He took out a jade pillow and placed it beside his daughter, and skillfully placed his daughter's left wrist on the pillow to make it easier for Huang Sixi to take her pulse.

His daughter hummed and showed no concern for the treatment. It seemed as if she had gotten used to staying in bed and had no hope of recovery.

Ren Yingying felt pity for the girl when she saw how seriously ill she was, and said to Huang Sixi, "Mr. Huang, please take a look at her."

Huang Sixi nodded, sat down beside the bed, pressed two fingers on the girl's pulse, and then secretly circulated Rama's internal energy inside the girl's body.

His true Qi only circulated through the girl's body once before he found out the cause of the disease. The girl had a congenital heart deformity, and the meridians in her heart were almost blocked, resulting in poor blood circulation. This caused her to be weak all year round, and she couldn't even walk.

This kind of congenital disease cannot be cured by medicine. After all, the body itself has defects, and any treatment will be in vain. Even if all the miracle doctors in the world are invited, the best they can do is to save this girl's life.

The recipe of 'Eight Life-Prolonging Pills' that Ping Yizhi prescribed for the old man is the best thing to keep her alive, but the medicinal power is limited. Even if the girl takes the 'Eight Life-Prolonging Pills', she will not be able to live long and will die in a few years.

Looking at the entire world, only Huang Sixi can completely cure this girl.

Rama's internal energy can clear the girl's meridians and restore her body to normal state.

However, treatment may take longer.

"Please help your daughter up!"

When the old man saw that Huang Sixi looked relaxed and not serious, he suddenly became energetic. He went to invite famous doctors, but they all had frowns on their faces and it was obvious that they could not cure the disease. Huang Sixi seemed to have hope.

The old man asked excitedly: "Mr. Huang, can you cure my daughter's disease?"

Huang Sixi said: "Let's try to cure it first!"

Wait until the old man helped the girl up and half sat on the bed.

Huang Sixi pressed one hand on the girl's back and used Rama's internal energy for a while.

After he withdrew his palm, the girl suddenly felt her strength restored. She stepped off the bed with her legs to one side and stood up steadily: "Dad, I think I have strength again!"

"what!"

The old man was extremely surprised: "Oh my God, Bu'er can walk now, he can finally get out of bed! Mr. Huang, you... you are really a master of medicine. Ping Yizhi is just a quack in front of you!"

He took a step forward and was about to kneel down to Huang Sixi.

But Huang Sixi stopped him: "I didn't heal her, she just regained her strength temporarily! You stay with her, she will fall back onto the bed soon!"

Soon after he finished speaking, the girl's legs went weak and she staggered and collapsed.

Ren Yingying saw this and asked, "Can Mr. Huang cure her?"

The old man helped his daughter back to bed and looked at Huang Sixi expectantly.

Huang Sixi did not give a definitive answer, but only said: "While I live in the villa, I will try my best to diagnose and treat her. Even if I cannot completely cure her, I am sure that she can live another 10 to 20 years."

"Ten or twenty years? This is already a blessing from heaven, much better than taking the eight life-extending pills."

The old man did not plan to give his daughter the pill for the time being. He wanted Huang Sixi to treat her first. If he could cure her, he would give Huang Sixi the Eight Life-Prolonging Pills as part of the medical fee. If Huang Sixi could not cure her in the end, it would not be too late to give his daughter the pill.

He put his daughter down and walked forward to salute Huang Sixi again.

Huang Sixi pointed at Ren Yingying and said, "If Miss Ren hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have been able to diagnose your daughter. If you really want to thank someone, thank Miss Ren."

He pushed all the favors to Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying was happy but did not show it.

She looked calm as she said to the old man, "Young Master Huang has a way to cure your only daughter. You must serve her wholeheartedly while he is recovering at your manor."

The old man hurriedly asked, "Do you think I and my daughter should move out of the villa?"

Ren Yingying hadn't decided yet, so she asked Huang Sixi to make the decision.

Huang Sixi allowed the father and daughter to continue living in the village, mainly because the old man and his daughter were too weak to travel back and forth.

Because of Ren Yingying's special status, it is inconvenient for her to stay in the manor for long.

After settling Huang Sixi, she returned to Luoyang that day and said that she would visit the village when she had time in the future.

In this way, Huang Sixi began to stay in the villa.

In addition to meditating to heal his injuries every day, he also treats the old man's daughter.

He thought it would take some time before Ren Yingying came to visit again.

Who would have thought that a few days later, Ren Yingying would come again.

This time, Ren Yingying did not come alone. She was accompanied by an old man in green clothes and a woman dressed in Yi ethnic costume.

The old man in green is Ren Yingying's follower, Green Bamboo Old Man.

The Yi woman was barefoot and wore a pair of huge gold earrings on her ears. Her dress made Huang Sixi feel familiar. The first time he saw this woman, Huang Sixi's thoughts drifted back to several years ago.

"Mr. Huang, this is Lan Fenghuang, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect. She has something to ask me in Luoyang. I am taking her back to the Divine Sect. She came to say hello to you when she passed by the villa. I may not come here again in the next few months."
