Before he could express his joy at the reunion, Chu Qi noticed that something was wrong with Yan Jiuge.
This is Yan Jiuge in a state of madness.
The meridians were in disarray, with evil spirits surging within them. Even the origin of his spiritual platform was mostly destroyed. His mind was in a state of confusion, a sign that he was about to become possessed by the devil.
Chu Qi's hand touched the magic pattern on Yan Jiuge's forehead, and the healing magic flowed from his fingertips to Yan Jiuge.
The color of the magic pattern faded, and the surging demonic energy was suppressed.
The corners of Chu Qi's lips twitched slightly, but before they could rise, he saw that the magic pattern on Yan Jiuge's forehead had deepened again, occupying half of his face.
The smile faded and Chu Qi looked worried.
"… "
As if feeling the touch on his face, Yan Jiuge lowered his head, his lifeless eyes staring in the direction of Chu Qi, his dark golden pupils reflecting Chu Qi's face.
"Ayan..."
His A-Yan shouldn't be like this.
Chu Qi pursed his lips.
At this time, not far behind the two of them, a green phoenix with seven feathers flew down and opened its mouth to speak in human language.
"My Lord, this man has fallen deeply into the devil's barrier and is in imminent danger. If you want to save him, perhaps the ancient books of Medicine King Valley can help."
Medicine King Valley
Hearing the words of the Green Phoenix Bird, Chu Qi turned around.
Behind him, the Qingmu Gate was completely opened, and under the glow of the sunset, the road leading to Medicine King Valley was bright and spacious. The spiritual energy in the valley was abundant, and it was completely different from the chaos in the outside world.
He came from Yunhua Realm through the space teleportation array, and the exit was Yaowang Valley. It seemed that it had been set up long ago.
It was not difficult for Chu Qi to guess the reason.
"Lead the way."
After Chu Qi finished speaking to Qing Feng, he turned around and held Yan Jiuge's hand.
With their fingers intertwined, Yan Jiuge, who was in a state of madness, let Chu Qi hold his hand. Even though he was unconscious, he still had the instinctive trust of his body.
Under the black abyss, at the moment when the ban was broken by the evil spirit, Yan Jiuge chose to seal his own consciousness.
In this way, not only will the time it takes for me to be completely eroded by the evil spirit be slower, but it will also be easier for the Yan family to deal with me after I am possessed by the evil spirit.
At that time, Yan Jiuge's only regret was that he could not see Aqi again.
*
Chu Qi brought Yan Jiuge into the Medicine King Valley.
After they entered, the green wooden door slowly closed, and fourteen green phoenixes turned into spiritual patterns, guarding the door. The two leading green phoenixes turned into human forms, walking in front of Chu Qi to lead the way for him.
These two green phoenixes were named Xuan Yi and Xuan Er. They were the first two green phoenixes raised in Yaowang Valley back then.
"When the previous Valley Master was still alive, he had already instructed us. Unless the new Valley Master returns, the valley cannot be opened."
On the way, Xuan Yi talked about what the previous valley master had instructed him to do.
"I know a little bit about it. The matter of Yunyin Realm is not urgent for now. If I want to treat a person who has gone astray, is there any record in the medical books of Yaowang Valley?"
"In the library. You haven't taken the throne yet, and Medicine King Valley is still dormant. The spiritual arrays in the valley are closed a lot. We need to go there, which will take some time, but it won't affect this lord's condition."
Xuan Er explained honestly.
After hearing their words, Chu Qi adjusted his mindset and made himself less impatient. He raised his head and took a few more glances at the surrounding scenery.
The first thing that catches your eye is a lush green.
If you look closely you can make out some of the buildings, but most of them are hidden in the mountains and rivers because of the maze and cannot be seen clearly.
After the Qingmu Gate was closed, Yaowang Valley became a world of its own, a plane temporarily independent of the Hidden Cloud Realm. There was no day or night inside, the sky was light blue, and the clouds were like distant smoke, floating quietly.
At the very center of Yaowang Valley is a dim dark green light. It seems to be the most inconspicuous color in the entire scene, but it occupies the central position with the richest spiritual energy.
"… "
Chu Qi withdrew his gaze from there, and he already had a guess in his heart.
The sacred tree should be located in the center of Yaowang Valley.
However, when he was about to reach the library, Chu Qi suddenly discovered another problem—this huge Medicine King Valley was a little too quiet.
Apart from them, there was no sign of any living creature on the way here.
"How many disciples are there in Yaowang Valley now?" Chu Qi asked.
"… "
In front of them, Xuanyi and Xuaner paused for a moment. Sadness was evident in both of them.
"After the ancient war, the sacred tree was damaged and could no longer support the inheritance. The disciples who inherited the inheritance in the valley died one after another, and now you are the only one left."
Chu Qi: “…”
how so
Clearly in the first volume of the Tracing World, when Chu Qi was still the Young Master of Medicine King Valley, he was surrounded by many disciples of Medicine King Valley.
Chu Qi suddenly felt inexplicably absurd.
In the Retrospective Volume, in order to make the ending meet the final expectations, the process will continue to change with each reincarnation.
Except for the holder of the scroll himself, the fate of everyone else is like mud and sand in a big wave, whose direction is easily changed by the wave.
[Don't rely too much on the Scroll of Tracing the Past. ]
The words of the founder of Tianxuan Sect echoed in Chu Qi’s mind.
Chu Qi held Yan Jiuge's hand tightly with a little force in his palm. He would never let Yan Jiuge end up like the one described in the scroll of history.
While I was thinking, I arrived at the library of Yaowang Valley.
This is a quaint attic with tall wooden beams and an elegant atmosphere; just being here, one can feel the calming effect.
"My Lord, we have arrived at the library. There is a forbidden barrier of Medicine King Valley here. Except for the disciples who have inherited the legacy, no other outsiders are allowed to enter. You can only enter alone."
After Xuan Yi finished speaking, he respectfully took a step back to make way for Chu Qi.
Chu Qi let go of Yan Jiuge's hand and said softly, "Ayan, wait for me to come out."
There was no response, but it seemed as if he had understood it all the time.
Seeing this, Chu Qi no longer hesitated and walked quickly into the library.
The library in Yaowang Valley is not very big. Compared with Tianxuan Sect, it occupies a smaller area and only has one simple floor. The bookshelf that lists the classics also has only one floor.
With Chu Qi’s current level of cultivation, he doesn’t need to read through the books one by one. He can directly use his spiritual sense to search through all the books at the same time.
Although the collection of books in Yaowang Valley is small, they are all in ancient texts, originating from before the ancient war, or even earlier history.
The record starts from the birth of the sacred tree to the ancient war, and includes the changes in the inheritance of medical skills, as well as the birth of evil spirits.
Everything has two sides, yin and yang, and the spirits of heaven and earth are balanced because of this. Evil spirits are born on the yin side, and are originally a turbid air in the chaos.
Then humans were born between heaven and earth. They have seven emotions and six desires, and are divided into good and evil.
In the void and chaos, evil spirits were nourished by the dark side of humans. Evil thoughts and greed, hatred and selfishness... continued to gather towards this turbid air.
One day, "it" became a spirit and named itself Guiya.
The intelligent Ghost Fang was unwilling to remain silent in the dark side of chaos. It gave rise to human ambitions and wanted to turn the Yunyin Realm into the dark side.
This is the origin of the War of the Ancients.
There was no record of the Traceback Volume in the library. Chu Qi only knew that the Traceback Volume was condensed from the sacred tree.
The spiritual consciousness surged, and one book after another was transmitted into Chu Qi's sea of consciousness.
In addition to some records about the ancient war, he picked out and marked the remaining clues about removing the evil spirit.
Any disciple who inherits the medical tradition of Yaowang Valley can use his or her own spiritual skills to suppress the evil spirit, or use the spiritual branches bestowed by the sacred tree to eliminate the evil spirit.
A monk who is on the verge of becoming possessed can be sent to the vicinity of the sacred tree to receive baptism and awaken his spiritual consciousness.
Those who are completely possessed by the devil, their spirit and soul have degenerated into evil spirits, which cannot be cured and can only be eliminated.
Chu Qi finished reading all the ancient books in Yaowang Valley, withdrew his spiritual consciousness, and sorted out the clues he knew.
In order to awaken the monks who are on the verge of demonic possession, they need to be sent to the vicinity of the sacred tree for baptism. But the paradoxical problem now is that the sacred tree in Medicine King Valley is in a withered state.
Secondly, it is a not very accurate description. According to the records in the classics, only with the help of the power of the sacred tree can the evil spirit be eliminated, even for disciples who have inherited the legacy of Medicine King Valley.
Chu Qi spread out his palms and looked into deep thought.
But he is different.
His spiritual power can directly purify the evil spirit.
When Yan Jiuge lost control for the first time, Chu Qi had accidentally cleared the evil spirit from his body. At that time, he and Yan Jiuge had just entered the Tianxuan Sect not long ago, and had not yet obtained the vine ring transformed from the spiritual branch from the secret realm.
However, even though Chu Qi was the special heir of Medicine King Valley, he had used healing magic when he first met Yan Jiuge, but the effect was minimal.
What else should we do
The library was completely silent, with only Chu Qi's presence echoing in it. He couldn't allow himself to waste time aimlessly, so after a brief moment of thought, Chu Qi stood up and walked out of the library.
Outside, Yan Jiuge and two Qingfengs were waiting for him.
Xuan Yi saw some clues from Chu Qi's expression and took the initiative to ask, "My Lord, have you found any clues?"
"We need the protection of the sacred tree, but the sacred tree is withered now, isn't it?"
Hearing Chu Qi's sigh-like words, Xuan Yi and Xuan Er looked at each other, and the latter spoke hesitantly under his brother's gaze.
"The sacred tree can be revived. But you need to inherit the Medicine King Valley, use your own spiritual power to awaken the ancient formation, and find the Heart of Glazed Glass, then the sacred tree can wake up from its withered state."
When Xuan Er finished the first half of his speech, Chu Qi's eyes turned from dark to bright, with an expectant look, and he couldn't help but stutter when he turned to speak.
"But... But even so..."
"But what?" Chu Qi frowned.
"This lord's soul cannot sustain until the sacred tree revives. He can only last three days at most. I'm sure you've seen that."
Xuanyi answered on behalf of Xuaner.
Chu Qi was silent. He knew, of course, that Yan Jiuge's condition was very critical.
"There is another method that cannot be considered a method." Xuan Yi hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Xuan Er, tell me."
"It's just... it's just... I can transfer the evil spirit from this adult to... to..."
Xuan Er took over the words stutteringly, his face flushed and he was extremely nervous.
Chu Qi didn't urge him and listened carefully.
"It will be transferred to you, and then you will be the one to clear away the evil spirit!" Xuan Yi closed his eyes and finished what Xuan Er had not finished saying.
Chu Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this idea.
This is a very good method. His spiritual power can directly clear away the evil spirit and is completely unaffected by it.
But there is a key question -
"Then, how can we transfer the evil energy in Ayan's body to me?" Chu Qi asked impatiently.
"… "
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er were silent for a moment at the same time.
The latter began to speak honestly, but the words he spoke were still nervous and stuttering, "Need... Need... Double, double..."
"Dual cultivation!" Xuan Yi added quickly.
"Yes! Yes!" After the most difficult words were said, Xuan Er stopped stuttering and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, following Xuan Yi's words.
"… "
After the two Qingfeng attendants finished their answers, the new owner of Yaowang Valley standing in front of them blushed, and then the blush spread to his face and neck, and even his fingers were slightly red.
Chu Qi never expected that the method to transfer the evil spirit would be like this.
