She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 45: Just a Fatal Injury

"Ning'er, well done!"

The lame Taoist immediately exclaimed in praise.

However, Du Ning'er fell into a daze, her mouth slightly open, looking at her blood-stained palm.

The poison that had tortured her for more than ten years was lying weakly in her palm.

"I am free just like that?"

She murmured to herself, as if she couldn't believe it.

There was none of the ferocious force that had just torn flesh and blood and pulled the poison out.

In fact, she didn't think so much at the time. She just hated the poison to the extreme and almost instinctively wanted to expel it from her body!

"This vicious little thing doesn't seem to pose any threat once it leaves the human body."

Xie Lian looked at the plump black bug in the center of Du Ning'er's palm, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Is this the poison that has left the entire Danxia Mountain helpless?

Now he looked extremely weak. He didn't even have the strength to turn over. There was a look of panic in his little eyes.

"Master said that this poison depends on the human body for survival. Before it matures, once it leaves the human body, it will no longer pose a threat."

The lame Taoist sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt a little dazed at the moment.

Is that the solution?

It’s much easier than I imagined!
Of course he knew that this was all thanks to Xie Lian, and all kinds of emotions surged in his heart as he bowed sincerely.

"Thank you for your help, Senior. We in Danxia Mountain will all remember your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will never refuse!"

Xie Lian looked at him helplessly.

"Master, everything is fine, but you need to change your bad habit of always bowing down to me. Have you counted how many times you bowed down to me today? I am not a clay statue in the temple. Why do you always bow down to me?"

The lame Taoist paused when he heard this, raised his head and saw the mischievous smile in Xie Lian's eyes, and couldn't help but laugh too.

"Only seniors don't like these red tapes. If it were others, they would wish that others would always have the word respect written on their faces."

Xie Lian shook his head.

"Respect should be kept in the heart. If it is always shown on the face, it is mostly false...Okay, Taoist priest, please treat Ning'er first."

Ning'er scratched her skin, leaving a shocking wound with blood constantly flowing out.

But it was just a fatal injury, not worth mentioning at all to the lame Taoist.

Pick out a pill at random, rub it into powder between two fingers, and then apply it to the wound.

It only took ten breaths at most for the seemingly hideous wound to heal as before.

As for the loss of qi and blood, it was nothing at all and did not even require treatment. No matter how mediocre Du Ning'er's cultivation was, she would recover after two days of rest.

"Although Senior doesn't like it, I still want to say that this kindness is greater than the sky. If Senior needs any help in Danxia Mountain, just let me know. I will make the decision if I can, and report to Master if I can't. I believe he won't refuse."

The lame Taoist still expressed his gratitude, but this time he did not bow again. Instead, he sat down and spoke.

This time, the favor is huge.

And it wasn't just that he owed Xie Lian a favor personally, but it had risen to the level of the entire Danxia Mountain.

Du Ning'er's identity is not simple. As the orphan of two of the three old immortals of Danxia Mountain, her identity and status are actually very high.

It's only because she was poisoned that her identity was not revealed.

Now that she has recovered, there is naturally no need to hide her true identity.

And it's not just a matter of noble status, Du Ning'er is actually very talented.

After all, her parents are both immortals. Although we cannot say that the child born to them is better than their parents, they will definitely not be simple.

In the past, her cultivation was restricted by poisons, but now, with the sky high and the sea vast as her birds fly freely and the sea as her fish leap freely, it won’t be long before her cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, Xie Lian's rescue of Du Ning'er was equivalent to gaining a huge favor from Danxia Mountain.

The lame Taoist has traveled around the world and understands many things better than ordinary people. Ordinary debts are not difficult to repay, but the most difficult debts to repay must be the debts of favors.

But no matter how difficult it is to repay, you still have to repay it.

So he came straight to the point and made the matter clear.

Xie Lian was not surprised by this. People who practice cultivation care a lot about karma and retribution. The City God was like this before, and the lame Taoist seemed even more anxious.

To be honest, Xie Lian helped Du Ning'er without any consideration of personal gain. She was saving people, so there was nothing to say.

But since the lame Taoist has said this, she will not be hypocritical and say things like "I don't need anything, Taoist priest, please be polite."

Because she said that, the one who must be suffering the most must be the lame Taoist.

It would be good for everyone if the debt of favor could be repaid as soon as possible.

Xie Lian pondered over it in his mind and came up with some ideas, but he was in no hurry to speak them out. Instead, he continued to invite the lame Taoist to drink.

After just experiencing the episode of saving someone, Xie Lian actually gained a lot.

Because I heard a lot of information related to the world of cultivation from the lame Taoist.

To give a simple example, she only knew about the Danxia Mountain sect of cultivation before, but now there are the Xingchen Pavilion and the Huangpao Valley.

The lame Taoist saw what Xie Lian was thinking and knew that she had already made up her mind, so he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he sat down and drank as Xie Lian wished.

This time, drinking again feels completely different.

The trouble in my heart was completely gone, and I felt relaxed all over, with a smile on my face.

"Bring two more jugs of wine."

Both of them were extraordinary people. Although the monkey wine tasted good, the ingredients were ordinary after all. It was not enough to make them drunk, and it was unlikely that they would have a good time. So Xie Lian asked the old locust tree to add more.

As expected, the old locust tree delivered two gourds of monkey wine and conscientiously performed the temporary job of "bartender".

Seeing this, the lame Taoist couldn't help but admire.

"This old locust tree in the senior's courtyard is really lucky. It is rooted in the Yin Vein and receives the senior's teachings all day long. Now that the evil spirit has receded, its spirituality is fully revealed. If it can transform into a human form in the future, won't the world have one more great demon?"

Xie Lian was stunned when he heard this.

"Does the Taoist think so highly of it?"

Didn't she ever know that the old locust tree could have such a future?
I have always used it to do odd jobs, such as hiding treasures, providing shade, and serving as a wine cellar.

It turns out that before we knew it, this old tree that looked hopeless had become very different.

"The old locust tree was born in the courtyard of the elders. It has been influenced by the environment and must be extraordinary. How many people in the world can have such a fate?"

The lame Taoist sighed again and again.

The old tree can provide Xie Lian with shade and shelter from the rain; this is the greatest destiny in his life.

Xie Lian raised his head and looked at the old locust tree twice.

If this guy really transforms and leaves one day, I would feel a little sad about it, and the yard would feel a little incomplete.

But that was all in the future, and she was too lazy to think so far ahead. She glanced around and found that Du Ning'er was still holding the poisonous insect in a daze.

But something moved my heart.

"I have a small request, can you agree to it, Taoist Priest?"

The lame Taoist was startled and immediately spoke.

"Senior, please tell me."

Xie Lian pointed at the poison and said.

"How about giving this thing to Xie?"

The lame Taoist laughed when he heard this.

"I thought it was something difficult, just take it, senior!"

He agreed readily, as if the poison was worthless.

But in fact, this is not the case. There are many things that can be studied about this poisonous insect. If it is brought back to Danxia Mountain and handed over to Danxian to deal with, there may be some surprising discoveries.

But now that Xie Lian has spoken, the Danxian will have no chance of obtaining this item.

But he was also a little curious, what did Senior Xie want this poison for? Could it be that he was excited to see the prey and wanted to study it?
But the next moment, he was shocked.

Xie Lian had no intention of studying it at all. He grabbed the defenseless poisonous insect with his fingers and threw it directly into the wine gourd.

"It is said that the more toxic the poison, the more tonic it is when soaked in wine. I want to see what kind of wine you can make with this strange poison from outside the domain!"
