Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 89: Entering the Qi and Blood Martial Arts World Again
The world of qi and blood martial arts.

Anxi Mansion.

There is a dilapidated temple near Wancheng.

Ancient trees lean against the wall, vines climb, Buddha statues are broken, bricks are scattered, and the dilapidated temple has long been forgotten.

In a side hall with only a thatched roof, a woman with a large red birthmark on her face was busy boiling medicine with her head down.

"Son."

She raised her head and asked in surprise:
"Should we put these two medicines in as well?"

"Chuanwu is highly toxic and pungent; Gansui is usually used externally and raw, and it clashes with the licorice mentioned earlier."

"Let go." Zhu Ju, whose clothes were tattered and whose face was pale, leaned against the wall and spoke slowly after hearing the words:
"My condition is special and I need tiger and wolf medicine."

"You don't have to worry about whether the medicine you brewed is poisonous or not. Even if it poisons me to death, I will never blame you."

"No." Bai Fu blushed and whispered:
"I was just asking casually."

Having said that, she couldn't help but wonder, is this kind of medicine, which is both highly tonic and highly toxic, really for humans to take?
Nothing will really happen, right?

After the medicine was boiled, she carefully brought it to Zhu Ju and couldn't help but remind him:

"Sir, don't use medicine carelessly. It's best to try it on some pigs or sheep."

"Don't worry." Zhu Ju took the bowl and smiled back:
"I know it well."

"Well……"

He pondered for a moment, took out two pieces of silver, one large and one small, from his arms and placed them in Bai Fu's hand.

"Thank you for your help. Here are the herbs and your hard work fee. Thank you to your master for me when you get back."

"Yes."

Bai Fu responded and saw him drink the medicine in one gulp, then opened his mouth and slowly left the room.

Main hall.

The gold paint on the Buddha statue has peeled off, the clay is broken into pieces, and it is covered with cobwebs, giving it a dilapidated look.

The Buddhist shrine in the corner was barely intact, and a chubby middle-aged wealthy businessman was bowing down to it.

The wealthy businessman had a pious look on his face and kept muttering to himself, as if he had some unresolved worries.

"White aconite."

Beside the wealthy businessman, Che Yunxiu, with her bright eyes, saw her personal maid coming back and quickly waved:

"How about it?"

"Miss." Bai Fu approached and presented two pieces of silver:
"These are the medicinal herbs and... hard work fees given by that man. Like the master said, that man is not a beggar."

"Tsk!" Che Yunxiu raised her eyebrows, took the silver coins, put them in her mouth and bit them, with a look of surprise on her face:

"real!"

“So generous!”

These two pieces of silver weighed about five or six taels, enough to buy more than a dozen of the same medicinal materials. They were given as soon as they were promised.

And there is also 'hardship pay'?
"Miss." The butler Qian Bo beside her whispered:
"That person should be a gangster, and the injuries on his body may also be caused by fighting in the gang."

"People from the underworld?" Che Yunxiu pursed her lips.

"I wonder how his strength compares to Guardian Zhang's?"

"Heh..." Qian Bo chuckled:
"Miss, don't be fooled by novels. Ordinary people in the martial arts world are hungry and full, and it is difficult for them to achieve success in martial arts. But Guardian Zhang is a martial artist who has mastered the art of physical training. Even in Wancheng, he is a top-notch martial artist."

"Only those renowned Jianghu tycoons and top forces can cultivate true masters."

"That's right." At this time, the middle-aged wealthy businessman who was worshiping the Buddha statue also stood up and walked over, saying:

"Martial arts training begins with Qi and blood. Qi and blood nourish the body. If you can't even nourish your body, how can you achieve great success?"

"but……"

He looked towards the side hall and whispered:

"People in the Jianghu have a wide range of connections, and most of them are ruthless. If used well, they can also be a sharp blade."

"Master." Qian Bo's expression changed slightly:
"Do you want to..."

"No!" Master Che waved his hand gently:

"I've always been cautious and rarely interact with people from the underworld. If used well, such people's weapons can be deadly, but if used poorly, they can hurt themselves. We don't need to disturb them. We should just treat them with courtesy for the next few days."

"Yes." Qian Bo nodded:
"That's what the master said."

Not long ago.

The Che family caravan passed through a dense forest and encountered the wounded Zhu Ju. Out of kindness, they took him along.

However, we must always be on guard against others and be cautious when dealing with strangers.

"Ugh!"

Master Che sighed softly with his hands behind his back:

"Since my brother was dismissed from office, the Che family has been having a harder time. I wonder if this trip to Yuancheng will bring a turnaround."

"Yunxiu."

"My daughter is here." Che Yunxiu stepped forward upon hearing that.

"We have been on good terms with the Zhao family since your grandfather, and your marriage to Zhao Sanlang has already been arranged." Master Che said:
"If nothing unexpected happens this time, we will arrange your marriage in Yuancheng. There is no need to wait until the New Year to get married."

Che Yunxiu's face turned pale.

In fact, she was not against her marriage. It had always been like this, arranged by her parents and matchmaker.

But such a hasty marriage was obviously intended to use her to tie the Che and Zhao families together.

More like a transaction.

It is hard to predict what will happen after marriage.

"Don't worry." Master Che advised:

"Zhao Sanlang is handsome and gentle. If you marry him, you will never be bullied at home."

"Yes." Che Yunxiu lowered her head.

"My daughter saved it."

"White aconite."

"exist."

"You'll be here to take care of Mr. Zhu for the next two days. You don't have to cater to him deliberately. Just treat him as an ordinary guest."

"Yes."

"We'll set off immediately after the caravan arrives." Master Che looked up at the sky.
"Just one or two days."

After finishing the task for the young lady, Bai Fu suppressed his fatigue and came to the side hall carrying a wooden tray.

Zhu Ju sat cross-legged in the corner, not saying a word.

"Young Master." Bai Fu panicked and called out hurriedly:
"Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhu Ju opened his eyes and sighed helplessly at being interrupted while practicing his healing skills.

"Don't worry about me."

"I'm glad you're okay." Bai Fu heaved a sigh of relief and put down the wooden tray.

"This is the food that the master asked me to bring you."

"Thank you." Zhu Ju stretched his muscles, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew:
"Yes, it's well grilled."

"If lean meat is not cooked properly, it will easily become tough and dry. This softness is just right."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Bai Fu bit his lower lip, his face shy.

"I did it."

"You're quite clever!" Zhu Ju praised, picked up the wine pot and took a sip, narrowing his eyes and asking:

"You are from Jizhou, so you should know Shengshou Mountain, right?"

"Of course I know." Bai Fu nodded:
"There is a Holy Head Peak in the Holy Head Mountain, and within the Holy Head Peak lies a true saint. This is a saying that everyone in Jizhou, young and old, has heard."

"Yeah." Zhu Ju said:

"How do I get to Holy Head Mountain?"

More than a hundred years ago, after becoming invincible, the peerless master Master Xuanzang wanted to reach the legendary realm of heaven and man, and the place he finally arrived at was Shengshou Mountain.

Or,

It’s the Holy Head Peak!

Ultimately, his breakthrough failed, but before his death, he left behind a painting with true meaning to the descendants of the Fu family.

It was from that painting that Zhu Ju realized the true form and power of the Five Mountains, which led to his current status.

The Five Mountains True Form Power is definitely not something that the warriors in this world can comprehend, so he was very curious about how Fu Xuan did it back then.

Another adventure?

still is,

Is there some secret hidden in the Holy Head Peak?
This time he came to the world of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, he was not planning to go back in the short term and would stay for at least a month.

While you are healing, you might as well go and take a look.

"It's a long way to get to Shengshou Mountain." Bai Fu touched his chin and found a branch to sketch on the ground:

"We need to go to Muyun City first, then take the official road south, pass Lingguan Pass, and head west. We'll continue walking for more than a hundred miles, and then..."

“Here we are!”

Zhu Ju looked at the map on the ground, thoughtful.

"Nice picture. Can you read?"

"I know him." Bai Fu said with a smile:
"I have been with the young lady since I was little. When she was learning to read and write, I also learned, so I can read and write."

"Really?" Zhu Ju retracted his gaze.
"It seems your young lady treats you well."

"Of course." Bai Fu nodded, touched the palm-sized birthmark on his face, and whispered:
"The lady has never laughed at me because of the birthmark on my face. She treats me... like a sister."

"Oh!" Zhu Ju said:
"The hard work is in your hands?"

"..." Bai Fu's expression changed slightly:
"I... mine were all given to me by the young lady before, and taking care of the young master was also the master's order."

"Of course the money isn't mine."

"I see. Thank you for the food." Zhu Ju put down his chopsticks and continued to sit cross-legged in the corner to regulate his breathing.

I don’t know when.

It was drizzling outside.

Bai Fu stood at the door with his hands on his knees, staring at the rain with lifeless eyes. He paused and touched the long sword beside him.

Normally, she would be practicing swordsmanship, but now...

Looking at Zhu Ju who was closing his breath, Bai Fu pursed his lips, picked up his sword and walked to the corner of the side hall.

Feiyun Sword Technique!

She danced with her sword, trying not to make too much noise, practicing each move in an orderly manner.

a long time.

Bai Fu stopped panting and when his eyes fell on Zhu Ju, he was shocked.

"You...are you awake?"

"Just woke up." Zhu Ju looked at the rain outside the temple, his eyes leisurely:

"The swordsmanship is beautiful."

"Is that so?" Bai Fu was not worried about the sword technique being spread. After all, the most important thing about sword technique is the method of exerting force. Upon hearing this, he explained:
"This is the Feiyun Sword Technique that Guardian Zhang taught Miss. Miss asked me to practice it too so that I can protect her in the future."

"Son."

She blinked and asked curiously:

"You are a man of the world, and you must have seen many powerful people. What do you think of my swordsmanship?"

"..." Zhu Ju smiled and spoke slowly:
"This sword technique is beautiful, looks great when danced, and is quite powerful, but it's not suitable for you."

"Ah!" Bai Fu said unconvincedly:
"why?"

"People are different." Zhu Ju looked at the rain and said:
"Your young lady is likely to be lively and active, and very intelligent. This type of swordsmanship is very suitable for her. You are different."

"Miss is very smart." Bai Fu smiled bitterly:
"Compared to the young lady, I am indeed very stupid. It takes me a week for her to recognize words in a day. She learned this sword technique in a few days, but it took me a month."

"Being a slow learner doesn't necessarily mean being stupid." Seeing her sad face, Zhu Ju couldn't help but smile.
"You have a straightforward personality, but you can easily concentrate on your training. At this age, you have already achieved great success in blood coagulation. You definitely have a talent for martial arts."

It can even be said to be very good!
Bai Fu's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

indeed.

Although her swordsmanship is not outstanding, due to her daily practice, it is actually not much worse than the young lady's.

Moreover, his qi and blood martial arts are even stronger than the young lady's.

To know.

As the daughter of the Che family, Che Yunxiu often takes strong medicine to strengthen her qi and blood, but she doesn't.

"so."

Zhu Ju changed to a comfortable position and leaned against the wall, saying:

"Of the nineteen sword techniques just now, you only practiced the third, seventh, eleventh, twelfth, and seventeenth ones."

"Ignore the rest."

"But..." Bai Fu thought for a moment and asked:
“These roads cannot be connected together.”

"Swordsmanship is nothing more than a few moves: stabbing, sweeping, picking, and chopping. Why can't they be connected together?" Zhu Ju shook his head.
"At the end of the third form, lift up seven inches to proceed to the eleventh form. At the end of the eleventh form, sweep horizontally..."
