From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Hong Guniang affirmed, "But that strange man was too badly injured. After passing on his skills to them, his injuries relapsed three days later, and since there were no herbs to treat him, he died."

After burying the man, they sought refuge at Changsheng Mountain.

"Sister Hong, could you give us a portion of those Five Poisons Cakes?" Li Muxuan walked over, but he was curious about the Five Poisons Cakes.

Lu Jin was the same.

Hong Guniang was generous; she took out three Five Poisons Medicine Cakes from her purse and handed one to Jiang Liu.

The San Yi Sect does possess considerable knowledge of herbal medicine, as its members and disciples require external medicinal aids for their training; however, their knowledge is not comprehensive.

Li Muxuan took the Five Poisons Medicine Cake, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully. He could taste the medicinal ingredients such as dandelion, violet, honeysuckle, and chrysanthemum. The cake itself was made of glutinous rice and yam, dried and hard, and not easily broken. As long as it was kept dry, it could be stored for a long time.

It's not unusual for dried medicinal herbs to be stored for a long time, but the fact that these finished medicines could be stored for such a long time surprised these two disciples of the Sanyi Sect.

"This medicinal cake combines the production methods of Western medicine."

Seeing their surprise, the girl in red explained to them, "Western medicine is quite different from ours. It doesn't involve boiling soup or making ointments. It's said that they research which component in the herbs can cure diseases, extract that component, mix them together, and make pills or injections. One pill or one injection is all it takes to take effect immediately. I think it's some kind of element? I don't really understand."

"Oh, it must be that a single element from the periodic table has been extracted."

Li Muxuan recalled Master Dongshan's teachings and guessed, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"I think so."

Hong Guniang didn't quite understand this.

Lu Jin nodded repeatedly: "The West does indeed have unique advantages in medical technology."

Jiang Liu, the only one present who understood some Western medical theory and knew about the periodic table, was speechless.

How could the ingredients in Western medicine be a single element from the periodic table?

The ingredients in pills and injections, no matter what, are molecular structures and cannot be generalized to single elements.

Even if the human body truly needs a portion of the elements in the periodic table to maintain normal life activities, it cannot directly absorb a single element; at the very least, it must ingest molecular compounds containing that element.

However, these thoughts can only remain in my mind.

Coming to his senses, he carried the bamboo cage on his back and walked to the edge of the abyss. He said to Chen Yulou, "Although those two have some skills, their Qi is weak. The Five Poisons Medicine Cake may not be able to help them hold on until they come up. I'll go down and keep an eye on them."

"and many more!"

Chen Yulou dared not let Jiang Liu do anything reckless, so he rushed forward.

But Jiang Liu had already jumped into the abyss, falling nearly twenty meters before grabbing the centipede-shaped ladder and quickly climbing down.

More lively than a monkey!

Kick it in the ground!

These two had only recently joined the Unloading Ridge bandits. They were honest and law-abiding people before, and they had the opportunity to inherit the legacy of a strange person, which gave them the ability to travel on earth and control objects. However, they had only just opened up their Ren and Du meridians, and their Qi was weak, making them three points weaker than Qiu Sheng, whose primordial Yang had not yet been depleted.

The previous monstrous mirage was so intense that there must have been many poisonous insects underneath. It would have been difficult to hold out with just those two Five Poisons Medicine Cakes.

It would be a pity if those two lost their lives as a result, so Jiang Liu decided to try to save them.

To explain the reasons—

Firstly, it was learned from Miss Hong that the two of them were originally honest people who had only joined Changsheng Mountain a month ago and had not committed any crimes, so they could not be compared with other bandits from the Xieling Mountain.

Secondly, helping others requires no reason, and the idea of ​​"cultivating one's own virtue when poor, and helping others when successful" is already ingrained in his bones.

Having missed his target, Chen Yulou got up, dusted himself off, and said helplessly to Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, "Why did your brother jump down?"

"Brother Jiang has always been decisive, or perhaps he thought those two would definitely encounter danger after going down there, so he decided to go and help them out."

After thinking for a while, Lu Jin recalled what Hong Guniang had said earlier and guessed why Jiang Liu had gone down. He suddenly realized that Brother Jiang had always been a person with his own opinions.

"Don't get anything wrong."

Li Muxuan chuckled coldly, "He's not my brother!"

Seeing the two men react differently, Chen Yulou seemed to be deep in thought, while Luo Laowai rolled his eyes, plotting something in his heart.

the other side.

Saihuohou and Dili Chui, both agile individuals, were climbing down the Centipede-shaped Mountain Ladder. The abyss walls were quite flat, as if cut by swords, and the Centipede-shaped Mountain Ladder was firmly attached to the abyss wall without swaying, allowing them to descend three or four hundred meters in a short time.

The roof of the underground palace was now in front of the two of them!

Just then, Jiang Liu, descending by leaping and grabbing, caught up and landed on the dark roof tiles before the two of them...

# Chapter 131 Disfigurement —

"Jiang Xingzhe, why are you down here too?"

Saihuohou was the first to come down from the Centipede-Hanging Mountain Ladder and land on the dark green roof. He looked around and, not seeing any poisonous insects, crawled over to Jiang Liu's side.

"At the request of General Manager Chen, this place is dangerous, and he was afraid something might happen to you, so he sent me down to lend you a hand." Jiang Liu shifted the blame to Chen Yulou.

"Does this mean Mr. Chen doesn't trust us?"

The person who came down the last step was a little unhappy about kicking the ground.

They had only recently joined Changsheng Mountain and were eager to impress General Chen in order to be promoted and become trusted confidants like Huamaguai, Hong Guniang, and Kunlun.

But now it seems—

Chen Yulou clearly didn't believe in their abilities!

Sai Huohou was much more quick-witted than Dili Chui. Seeing that Jiang Liu had come down a step behind them but had caught up and arrived first, and that he hadn't even stirred up a speck of dust on the dark roof tiles when he jumped down, he realized that his strength far surpassed theirs. So he clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Then when we go up later, we hope that Brother Jiang will put in a good word for us with the chief."

"No problem."

Seeing that Saihuohou was quick-witted, Jiang Liu politely agreed.

Then, the three of them began to survey their surroundings.

The deeper you go in this ravine, the narrower the crevice becomes. Now, apart from the roof tiles, the surrounding area is all rock walls, making it impossible to explore any further.

Sai Huohou and Dili Chui looked around but didn't find a single poisonous insect. They only found a hole in the eaves. Dili Chui couldn't help but say, "The chief said there was a demonic mirage here, but how come we haven't seen a single insect? Could it be that the strong wind earlier blew the poisonous insects and the demonic mirage away together?"

"Send a signal."

Although Saihuohou was meticulous, he was also impatient. He took out the signal flare tucked in his waistband, pulled the fuse, and a ball of red smoke shot upwards.

Bang!

A firework, not dazzling but quite loud, burst into bloom in mid-air.

Meanwhile, Jiang Liu, who was using his ability to sense the underground palace from all directions, heard the commotion and turned around abruptly. But it was too late; there was nothing he could do. Nevertheless, he warned the two, "Go up! Don't go any further down. There are countless poisonous insects in this palace, densely packed, and one of them is quite large—"

In Jiang Liu's magnetic field perception, besides the densely packed centipedes, there was also a creature about ten feet long with six wings on its back, slowly exhaling a cloud of smoke-like matter.

"Jiang Xingzhe, you wouldn't be thinking of keeping all the treasures down there for yourself, would you?"

He stomped around in the ground, pondering.

Boom!

But before he could finish speaking, the monkey smacked him on the head and yelled, "Don't talk nonsense! Even if he wanted to take it all for himself, how much could he possibly get?"

After saying that, he said to Jiang Liu, “Jiang Xingzhe, it’s not that we don’t want to go up, but that we can’t. We have already given the signal, and the chief and the brothers must have come down from the two centipede-shaped mountain ladders. The noise is too loud to hear clearly. We can only talk to them after they have all come down and the chief has told the brothers to be quiet.”

As the saying goes: People die for wealth, and birds die for food.

Before Jiang Liu could persuade them again, Sai Huohou and Dili Chui took out ropes and mountain-hanging hooks, hooked the hooks into the cracks in the nearby stone wall, and pulled hard, but they wouldn't budge. They then climbed into the hole in the eaves.

It's hard to reason with a damned devil.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu stopped trying to dissuade him and decided to climb up the Centipede-shaped Mountain Ladder to tell Chen Yulou that he had repaid him for the gift of the iron rod.

Just as he leaped up, he heard the monkey that had jumped into the underground palace shout and scream.

"what!"

"Brother, my body hurts so much!"

"Little brother, me too! You have boils all over your body!"

"Brother, you too!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Hearing the two men's cries, Jiang Liu sighed inwardly, for these two were not entirely wicked, and he was ultimately moved with compassion.

So he released the centipede-shaped ladder and fell back onto the roof tiles. His magnetic field probed down from the hole, sensed the two of them, and with a pull and a drag, pulled them up.

However, the two of them looked absolutely terrifying!

However, after only a short while, both of them were covered in pustules, with drops of foul-smelling pus dripping from their bodies. Their faces were unrecognizable, and the pustules even seemed to be spreading throughout their bodies.

Without an antidote, I'm afraid I won't last long before I turn into pus!

[Truly extremely poisonous!]

Looking at the two men's unrecognizable, hellish appearances, Jiang Liu was terrified, but he couldn't bear to leave innocent people to die.

So he gently pressed his abdomen, and the exquisite inner elixir of the relic rose up along the esophagus and fell into his mouth, but he did not spit it out. Instead, he held it under his tongue to prevent the precious light of the inner elixir from arousing the greed of the two.

He circulated his Qi throughout his body. Because the tip of his tongue was pressed upwards, the Ren and Du meridians were connected, and the Qi flowed into the exquisite inner elixir of the relic. A ball of white Qi was exhaled from his mouth, carrying a radiant light, and landed on Saihuohou and Dilichui, stabilizing their internal organs and regulating their six bowels.

Immediately, he grabbed several centipedes from their bodies and crushed them.

In an instant.

The two immediately felt much better.

However, the festering skin and festering flesh cannot heal immediately; they must rely on time to heal and grow naturally.

After confirming that the poison in the two people had been eliminated, Jiang Liu flicked his tongue, swirling the exquisite inner core of the relic, and swallowed it.

As a result, Sai Huohou and Dili Chui thought that Jiang Liu had saved them with his own special ability. Despite the soreness in their skin and the numbness in their bones, they kowtowed to Jiang Liu repeatedly to thank him for saving their lives.

“I tried to persuade you before, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened. Although I saved your lives, it will take a long time for your flesh and skin to heal. Even when you do, you’ll be covered in scars, and I’m afraid Jiang Liu will never be able to find a wife again.” Jiang Liu turned away and sighed.

"It doesn't matter if I can't find a wife, as long as I'm alive!" The man in the field realized how powerful Jiang Liu was and kowtowed in gratitude.

“My brother is right. Our bodies are different from ordinary people. We never thought about marrying decent wives. We just want to survive!”

Sai Huohou was even more optimistic, feeling that as long as he was alive, there was hope. "Jiang Xingzhe, you saved our lives. If there is anything we brothers need in the future, please feel free to use us. We will never refuse!"

"Yes! I will definitely not refuse!"
