Blind Ghostwriter: Starts with the full level of Nine Yang Magic Skill

Chapter 169 Eye Treatment
It took a total of six days to get from Qingzhou City to Guangming Temple. After that, Gu Mo stayed in Guangming Temple for three days until Master Dingchan was buried, and then he left Guangming Temple.

During those days in Guangming Temple,

Many people from the Jianghu came to pay their respects, and Gu Mo also made several public appearances. He didn't say much, but simply being there as a mourner was enough to protect Guangming Temple from the chaos of the Jianghu.

While Guangming Temple shares some ties with the Great Guangming Temple of the Chu State, they are fundamentally different. While the Great Guangming Temple is both a temple and the ancestral home of Buddhism, a sacred place for the martial arts world, Guangming Temple is merely a famous temple in Qingzhou. Unlike ordinary temples, Guangming Temple once boasted an abbot who was ranked number one on the Qingzhou Heavenly Ranking.

Gu Mo's reputation in the martial arts world was legendary, with rumors circulating that he was a man of great righteousness and a hatred of evil. He had openly appeared at Guangming Temple and had come from Qingzhou City to attend the funeral of Master Dingchan, without hiding anything along the way.

Therefore, Gu Mo's appearance this time, coupled with the face of Medicine Saint Qi Miaoxuan, ensured that Guangming Temple could continue to be a secluded place.

As for what will happen in the future, that is not Gu Mo’s concern.

After leaving Guangming Temple,

Gu Mo and Gu Chudong followed Qi Miaoxuan to a place called Chunshen Valley in Pyongyang County, Qingzhou. It was an unremarkable valley, but few people knew that it was the secluded place of Qi Miaoxuan, the Medicine Saint.

Entering the valley, one is greeted by a lush, secluded landscape, a landscape of varying shades of green. Facing north, steep mountains shield the valley from the southerly winds. Perhaps hidden underground, flowing rivers and springs create a cool, lingering atmosphere, offering protection from the scorching heat and a refreshing coolness.

As we walked forward, the mountains on both sides pressed in close, with a few bamboo poles rising from the ground, stretching between the mountains like a natural screen. In the valley, a dozen houses sat beside a stream, each surrounded by a variety of precious flowers and rare medicinal herbs.

There were more than a dozen servants in the valley, all of whom were proficient in martial arts, and some of them were as good as top-notch masters in the martial arts world. They each had their own duties in the valley, some planting vegetables, some collecting medicinal herbs, and some refining pills.

Qi Miaoxuan led Gu Mo and Gu Chudong through the valley and said, "These people are all those who are tired of the disputes in the martial arts world. Each of them has his or her own story. But they all have one thing in common, that is, I saved their lives and voluntarily followed me to live in seclusion here. I usually study pharmacology and refine pills, and I just happen to need someone to help with chores. So, they are willing to follow me, and I am happy to have someone to help me."

Gu Chudong looked around and said, "It really is a good place to live in seclusion."

Qi Miaoxuan said with a smile: "If Miss Chudong is interested, I will ask someone to help build a house for you here."

"Forget it then." Gu Chudong said with a smile: "I'm still young. Although I have thought about going back to my hometown with my brother to start a small business, I don't have the idea of ​​living in seclusion away from the world."

Qi Miaoxuan was surprised and asked, "You two want to quit the martial arts world? You don't think so. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Hero Gu is a person who has the potential to compete for the world's number one. Miss Chudong, you are also a young and famous genius. Are you going to quit the martial arts world at such a young age?"

Gu Chudong looked at Gu Mo and said, "Look at my brother, I'll follow him."

Gu Mo smiled and said, "I don't have any plans to quit the martial arts world for now. I really enjoy being a ghostwriter."

Gu Chudong said with a smile: "My brother and I go wherever he goes!"

Qi Miaoxuan said, "That's good. I'm really looking forward to the day when you, Master Gu, become the best in the world!"

Gu Mo laughed and said, "Senior Qi, you're flattering me!"

"How can you say it's flattery? News of what happened in Qingzhou City has leaked out. Although the Six Gates deliberately suppressed the matter of the Qilin Holy Blood, the fact that Lu Canyang had been hiding for forty years and had returned to the martial arts world was not hidden."

Qi Miaoxuan led Gu Mo and Gu Chudong into a small wooden house, continuing as they walked, "Ye Jinglan and Chu Tianqing are still recovering in Qingzhou City. They both openly admit that their martial arts skills are not as good as yours and they are willing to admit they are inferior to you. Taking advantage of the momentum of the battle at the Cliff of Broken Souls, Hero Gu, you are now tenth on the Qian Kingdom's Heavenly Ranking. Ye Jinglan was just listed and then removed.

Originally, Ye Jinglan was the youngest among the ten great masters of Qian Nation, and you're even a dozen years younger than him. In the three hundred years since Qian Nation was founded, there's never been a master as young as you among the ten great masters. Now, it's not just me who thinks you can become the best in the world, I'm afraid the entire Qian Nation thinks you can become the best in the world, not the best in Qian Nation!

Gu Mo slowly sat down on the chair, waved his hand, and said, "Senior Qi, whether you are one of the ten great masters or the best in the world, it's actually not that important. Right now, the most important thing is that you can heal my eyes first!"

"Yes, Senior Qi!"

Gu Chudong took off the large bookcase on his back, placed it on the table, and took out a stack of silver bills and a copper pot from it.

"Senior Qi, this is a ten thousand tael silver note," Gu Chudong pointed at the copper pot and said, "This contains the Netherworld Epiphyllum. Please check it out."

"No need to test," Qi Miaoxuan said, "I can smell the scent of the Netherworld Epiphyllum from a long distance away, there's no doubt about it. As for the ten thousand taels of silver, I don't believe that the great hero of Yunzhou would shortchange me even a little bit!"

Immediately, Qi Miaoxuan waved his hand, and a servant came over to take away the copper pot and silver bills.

Gu Mo asked, "Senior Qi, how can I cure my eyes?"

Qi Miaoxuan said, "Stay in this valley for a while. Your eyeball is already necrotic. I need to prepare some medicine and then stimulate it with a special acupuncture method to help it regrow. This step is the most difficult. As long as this step is successful, I can even hand it over to my disciple Wu An and he will be able to cure it."

Gu Chudong asked in surprise, "Will my brother be able to see the light again soon?"

Qi Miaoxuan shook his head and said, "That won't happen so quickly. I can only help your eyes recover. As for how long it will take for you to see again, it depends on how quickly your brother's eyes recover. I will give you a prescription when the time comes. Take the medicine when you need to, and apply the external application regularly. It could take ten to eight years, or as short as two to three years."

"Ah?" Gu Chudong said with some disappointment: "Will it take that long?"

Qi Miaoxuan chuckled and said, "You can understand it this way. Eyes also have meridians, and your brother's eye meridians have all died. Now, I'm using a method to revive the meridians. How could this happen in just one or two days?"

Gu Mo bowed and said, "As long as it can be cured, time doesn't matter."

Qi Miaoxuan nodded slightly and said, "However, Master Gu, your internal energy is as powerful as that of an immortal or Buddha, and it's different from that of ordinary people. It can't be judged by common sense. So, I can't say exactly how long it will take to recover, but it will definitely not exceed three years. However, you must be careful not to irritate your eyes or expose them to strong light."

"Okay, I'll pay attention. Thank you for your help, Senior."

"Let's start tomorrow."

……

Gu Mo lived in Spring God Valley for more than a month.

The eye treatment didn’t take that long, only half a month.

However, because Gu Mo's eyes will need to take elixirs for a long time, he also needs to apply special medicine regularly.

Qi Miaoxuan taught Gu Chudong the techniques of preparing pills and refining medicinal liquids. This instruction lasted for half a month, and Gu Chudong was finally considered a master. However, just as he was about to leave, Ye Jinglan came to Chunshen Valley to seek treatment from Qi Miaoxuan. Chu Tianqing did not come, as the Tiandao Sect and Jiujiang League had merged and renamed themselves the Qingzhou Wulin League. Ye Jinglan nominated Chu Tianqing as the leader.

Therefore, Chu Tianqing was unable to extricate himself for the time being, while Ye Jinglan was free and ran to Qi Miaoxuan to treat his injuries in order to recover faster.

After Ye Jinglan arrived, he pulled Gu Mo aside to discuss the Dao.

Gu Mo seriously suspected that Ye Jinglan's claim of coming to treat his injuries was fake, and that he was actually there to discuss martial arts. However, Gu Mo was quite interested. Ye Jinglan was a rare master in the world, and discussing the Dao with him was quite beneficial.

It was not until Zhuo Qingfeng sent someone to deliver a message that Gu Mo took Gu Chudong away.

……

Qi Miaoxuan and Ye Jinglan escorted Gu Mo and Gu Chudong out of the valley together.

Gu Chudong was still carrying the big bookcase, but in addition to the Thousand Machine Box and the Gou Chen Demon Sword, there were a lot more medicines inside.

Gu Mo covered his eyes with a black band, just like when he first became blind, because his eyes could not be exposed to strong light.

Qi Miaoxuan watched Gu Mo and Chu Dong mount their horses, and then instructed, "Hero Gu, you must remember to take a pill every seven days and apply the medicine every three days. Remember, don't expose yourself to strong light. Remember, remember!"

Gu Mo bowed and said, "Don't worry, senior, I will remember it."

Gu Chudong also said with a smile: "Senior Qi, don't worry, I will definitely not forget it."

Qi Miaoxuan nodded and said, "In that case, you should leave quickly. Captain Zhuo still needs your help, so I won't stay any longer."

Gu Chudong suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, Senior Qi, you said before that your secluded place was very secluded and few people in the martial arts world knew about it. But Ye Jinglan knew about it, and so did the Six Gates. It's not secluded at all."

Qi Miaoxuan smiled helplessly and said, "Although I live in seclusion, I am not aloof from worldly affairs. If I could hide this from Sect Master Ye and the Six Gates of Qingzhou within the territory of Qingzhou, that would be rare."

"That's right." Gu Chudong smiled and bowed, "Let's go, Senior Qi. I'll come to see you when I'm free."

"Senior Qi, goodbye!"

Gu Mo bowed to Qi Miaoxuan, then bowed to Ye Jinglan and said, "Brother Ye, goodbye!"

Ye Jinglan bowed and said, "Brother Gu, if you come to Qingzhou, you must come to see me."

"certainly."

Immediately, Gu Mo and Gu Chudong rode away on horseback.

Watching Gu Mo and Gu Chudong go away.

Ye Jinglan suddenly asked Qi Miaoxuan, "Senior Qi, did you have a backup plan when you treated Gu Mo's eyes?"

Qi Miaoxuan shook his head and said, "I don't have that means, nor do I have that courage."

Ye Jinglan chuckled and said, "Senior, your methods are quite impressive. Lu Canyang is so powerful, but he was also able to control him, didn't he?"

Qi Miaoxuan chuckled and said, "It was just a coincidence. If I hadn't caught you and noticed the traces of Qilin Holy Blood in your body, I wouldn't have known that Lu Canyang was still alive."

As he spoke, Qi Miaoxuan looked Ye Jinglan up and down and said with a smile, "Look, when I told you to cooperate with me, you refused to believe me and almost lost your life to Lu Canyang, right? Now you believe me, right? You believe in the Qilin Holy Blood, right?"

Ye Jinglan said in a deep voice, "Senior, please don't argue with me. When I first heard you say that Lu Canyang, who had been dead for forty years, was still alive, my life might be controlled by him. And you even talked about the Qilin Holy Blood. To me, it was like a fairy tale. Naturally, I didn't believe it. Senior Qi, think about it. If you were in my shoes, would you dare to believe it?"
Honestly, if I hadn't seen Lu Canyang activate the terrifying Qilin Holy Blood at the Divine Weapon Villa that day, even if he had killed me, I wouldn't have believed that such a thing really existed in the world."

Qi Miaoxuan nodded slightly and said, "Let's not talk about the past. Did you get the Qilin Holy Blood that Lu Canyang left behind?"

"Of course, otherwise, I wouldn't be here." Ye Jinglan said, "Just as you predicted, the Qilin Holy Blood is indeed treacherous. It seems to have a consciousness, knowing how to avoid danger and seek good fortune. It is actually hidden in the weapon forging furnace in the Divine Weapon Villa."

Qi Miaoxuan said, "The Holy Blood has a spirit and is immortal. Before, Gu Mo was too strong, and the Holy Blood had a sense of danger and would automatically hide. But it needs the energy of fire, and there is no other place in the area of ​​Shenbing Villa except the weapon forging furnace."

Ye Jinglan nodded and asked eagerly, "Can I really fuse the Qilin Holy Blood?"

Qi Miaoxuan said, "Didn't I refine a pill for you when you were captured by the Heavenly Blade Sect? That pill can ensure that you retain some of the essence of the Holy Blood when Lu Canyang drained it, so that you still have an affinity for the Qilin Holy Blood. Now, when you fuse this drop of complete Holy Blood, it will be as natural and easy as water flowing into the water.

Furthermore, with my Qi Ling Dan, I will help you stimulate the essence of the Qilin Holy Blood to its fullest potential. In fact, Gu Mo's previous speculation was correct. After fusing with the Qilin Holy Blood, the purity of the Qilin Holy Blood can be continuously improved. The Qi Ling Dan is designed to stimulate the Qilin Holy Blood, allowing it to continuously circulate, constantly producing new Qilin blood to devour your human blood. When your blood is completely transformed into Qilin blood, you will become a god, an immortal god!

Ye Jinglan's pupils shrank slightly as he stared at Qi Miaoxuan and whispered, "But, Senior, I have a few questions. Could you please give me some guidance?"

"You say." Qi Miaoxuan said.

Ye Jinglan said in a deep voice, "Senior, what exactly is your purpose? Did you really know that Lu Canyang was not dead because you noticed that I had the Qilin Holy Blood in my body? Or did you know from the beginning that Lu Canyang was not dead? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Zhuo Qingfeng just guessed that he could use the ancient Buddha's relics to deal with Lu Canyang? Wasn't it you who guided him? And the Qiling Pill stimulated the Holy Blood, and the Holy Blood was hidden in the Sword Furnace! Senior, don't you know too much about the Qilin Holy Blood?"

Qi Miaoxuan chuckled and said, "You have so many doubts, so do you still want to fuse the Qilin Holy Blood?"

"Yes." Ye Jinglan said decisively.

Qi Miaoxuan said, "Then why do you need to explore so many doubts? Just fuse the holy blood and become a true god. Let those doubts be buried."

Ye Jinglan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "Senior, aren't you afraid that I will use force?"

Qi Miaoxuan looked at Ye Jinglan and smiled slightly, then said, "Tell me, if the ancient Buddha's relic couldn't suppress Lu Canyang that day, and Gu Mo couldn't defeat Lu Canyang, then who would kill Lu Canyang?"
