Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 201 My Advantage Might Not Be So Easy to Take
Just as their gazes fell upon the three swords on the table, Gongzi Yu's voice slowly rang out.

"When I saw that you were interested in the three precious swords of Mingjian Villa during the day, I had someone find Zhu Wushi and exchange the remaining three precious swords in his possession for yours."

"As for the other three precious swords that Mingjian Manor lost before, I have already sent people to inquire about them, and they should be able to retrieve them for you soon."

"These seven swords are the price for Brother Shen's action today, and for me using Brother Shen's name to get Ximen Chuixue to challenge Ye Gucheng."

Shen Ping'an hadn't expected that he would only have the idea of ​​collecting the remaining few swords from the Famous Sword Manor that afternoon.

That evening, Gongzi Yu took the initiative to take over the matter.

Withdrawing his gaze from the swords on the table, Shen Ping'an said, "You are quite generous, offering these seven swords, each containing a low-grade Heaven-rank martial art."

Gongzi Yu said nonchalantly, "If it weren't something like this, how could I possibly present it to Brother Shen?"

The item was indeed a good item, and it just so happened to be something that Shen Ping'an was interested in.

Shen Ping'an did not stand on ceremony and returned the three swords.

Instead, he asked with great interest, "Since it's an exchange, what did you offer to persuade Zhu Wushi to exchange these three swords with you?"

With a smile, Gongzi Yu said, "The news about the second Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom and how to use it."

"Before we set off for your place, Zhu Wushi had already left the palace. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Wushi should have already obtained the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom I mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an let out a soft exclamation, and his mind raced as he quickly came to his senses.

He immediately shook his head and said, "Having Senior Dugu in charge is not enough. Now you've also grasped the Divine Marquis's weakness. It seems that from now on, the Iron-Blooded Divine Marquis will be under your control."

Gongzi Yu smiled and said, "I once heard Elder Bai say that good friends with compatible birth charts can complement each other and bring good fortune."

"I didn't really believe these things before, but since I met Brother Shen, I've found that it's really true."

"Some problems that had been troubling me for a long time were solved thanks to Brother Shen's unintentional intervention."

"For example, Ximen Chuixue's challenge, and the Tianxiang Doukou that Brother Shen brought out today."

"The former reminded me of methods to disrupt the court, while the latter gave me the opportunity to completely control Zhu Wushi."

"In fact, I benefited from Brother Shen's advantage."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an shook his head and said, "It might not be so easy for me to take advantage of you."

Gongzi Yu paused slightly.

After a few breaths, Gongzi Yu asked, "Is there something wrong with Tianxiang Doukou?"

It must be said that Gongzi Yu reacted quickly, realizing the problem immediately.

Shen Ping'an responded, "There's nothing wrong with Tianxiang Doukou, but there's something wrong with the people who take it."

"How do you think the Marquis's beloved has survived for over twenty years while in a coma, neither eating nor drinking?"

Gongzi Yu said without any pretense: "According to our investigation, Zhu Wushi hid that Su Xin girl on the Tianshan Mountains, using ten-thousand-year-old black ice as a coffin. He used the coldness of the ten-thousand-year-old black ice combined with the medicinal properties of the first Tianxiang cardamom to protect Su Xin girl's heart meridian."

Shen Ping'an said calmly, "The ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing is extremely cold. Even martial artists in the Guiyuan Realm who spend a long time with the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing will inevitably be invaded by the cold and have their internal cold energy stagnate. Not to mention a living dead person whose meridians are all broken."

"Over the past twenty years, the coldness accumulated in my body has become a kind of 'cold poison' that adheres to my internal organs, meridians, and bones."

"In this situation, after taking the second Tianxiang Doukou, the strong medicinal properties of Tianxiang Doukou will temporarily suppress the cold toxins in the body."

"But after the second Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom is taken, its combined medicinal power will repair the injuries in the user's body."

"Extremes meet. The effects of Tianxiang Douguo are so potent that after taking the first Tianxiang Douguo, no matter how severe the injury, it can protect the heart meridian of the user."

"However, after taking the second Tianxiang cardamom, some of the medicinal properties will become milder. After taking it, while the medicinal effects protect the heart and bodily functions, the milder medicinal properties will also gradually repair the injuries in the user's body."

"But after the third pill, the medication will become unstable again, and the previously suppressed cold poison will erupt violently, causing Su Xin to fall into a coma again."

“If the cold poison in her body is not resolved, her injuries will only worsen over time. In seven days at most, she will die from the conflict between the medicinal properties of the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom and the cold poison.” Shen Ping’an paused for a moment before continuing, “Given how much the Divine Marquis values ​​that Su Xin, he already fed her the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom this morning. Now that he has given her the third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, Su Xin will fall into a coma again after taking it.”

Gongzi Yu was well aware of Shen Ping'an's medical skills.

Since Shen Pingan has spoken, the situation must be as he described.

According to Shen Ping'an, once the third Tianxiang Doukou (a type of cardamom) is consumed, Zhu Wushi will only assume that he tampered with it.

Although Gongzi Yu did not take Zhu Wushi seriously.

But now that the decisive battle is approaching, if Zhu ignores the fact that something really goes wrong here, the subsequent plans will inevitably be affected.

Thinking of this, Gongzi Yu looked at Shen Ping'an and said, "It seems that I will owe Brother Shen another favor, otherwise I will not be able to ensure Zhu Wushi's safety."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ping'an said, "After I prepare the medicine tomorrow, you can arrange for someone to come and pick it up."

"In addition, as a price for the treatment, there is something I would like to trouble you and Senior Bai to help me look into."

Gongzi Yu said, "Brother Shen, please speak freely."

“I have a few medications that I need that are rather unusual. I’ve been recording the appearance, characteristics, and growing environment of these medications over the past few days. I would appreciate it if you and the senior physician could try to find out or inquire about them for me.”

Gongzi Yu asked, "It's a small matter."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Gongzi Yu said, "Now that the matter has been settled, I will not disturb Brother Shen's rest any longer."

"it is good!"

Shen Ping'an got up and escorted Gongzi Yu to the entrance of the courtyard before returning inside.

After sitting down again, Lianxing asked with a curious look, "What did you mean by controlling Zhu Wushi just now?"

Shen Ping'an and Gongzi Yu's conversation proceeded as usual, but Lianxing and Zhang Sanniang, who were unaware of the situation, were completely confused.

In response, Shen Ping'an said, "More than twenty years ago, when Zhu Wushi was just an unpopular prince, he met a woman he loved in the martial arts world."

"And this woman is Su Xin, the fiancée of Gu Santong, the invincible rascal who was once extremely famous and was listed on the Grandmaster List by Bai Xiaosheng when he was just over thirty."

"To this end, Zhu Wushi devised a plan to kill 108 martial artists who had agreed to fight Gu Santong at Taihu Lake and framed Gu Santong for the crime."

"In addition, there were some martial artists who were invited by the 108 martial artists to come and witness the proceedings."

"Among them were many officials of the imperial court."

Zhang Sanniang looked at Shen Ping'an in surprise: "You mean, in order to frame Gu Santong, the Divine Marquis actually killed all 108 martial artists and the court officials he invited?"

Shen Pingan nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Upon receiving confirmation from Shen Ping'an, Zhang San Niang was momentarily stunned.

After a moment, Zhang Sanniang shook her head and said, "That's true. Being able to join the Azure Dragon Society and become its leader is enough to prove that Shenhou is not as loyal as he appears."

Shen Ping'an was not surprised by Zhang San Niang's reaction.

People's hearts are unfathomable. If it weren't for someone as insightful as Shen Ping'an, how could he have been so wary of Zhu Wushi, a seemingly loyal and righteous minister?
After calming herself down, Zhang San Niang gestured for Shen Ping An to continue.

Shen Ping'an continued, "As all these people perished in Taihu Lake, the martial arts world was shaken, which also enraged the imperial court, leading Zhu Wushi to arrest Gu Santong and bring him to justice."

"It was also during the decisive battle between Zhu Wushi and Gu Santong that this Miss Suxin was seriously injured by mistake, with all her meridians severed. Zhu Wushi took out a Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to save her life."

"But because of this Tianxiang cardamom, this Suxin girl has been in a coma for years and can only wake up by continuing to take Tianxiang cardamom."

"For the past twenty-odd years, the Iron-Blooded Marquis has been secretly sending people to search for the Heavenly Fragrance Bean, all in order to awaken his beloved, who is in a coma."
