Kaifeng 2018

  Standing outside the valley, Lin Heng looked at the booklet in his hand, furrowing his brow.

  It's been almost a year since I left, but the time spent studying medicine is only about two or three months. If Master finds out...

  Shaking his head, Lin Heng gritted his teeth and walked into the valley. Soon, he arrived at a familiar courtyard outside, where Ping Yizhi was busy. Lin Heng approached just as he saw him.

  "Stinky kid, go home and don't come in. What are you looking at outside?" Ping said with a bad tone, then pulled Lin Heng into the house, saying: "Alright, tell me where you've been for the past year and what have you done..."

  Lin Heng secretly rolled his eyes and said: "Master, this is a record of the disciple's medical treatment in Fuzhou..."

  He took a glance at the booklet and nodded in satisfaction, saying: "Not bad, although there's not much, but it's all very detailed. It seems you've also been practicing diligently. Is that all?"

  "After staying in Fuzhou for a while, the disciple heard that Liu Zhengfeng was washing his hands in a golden basin and immediately rushed to Hengshan City. During his stay in Hengshan, the disciple met Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect, who invited him to visit Huashan... Lin Heng told his story with half-truths and half-falsehoods, but didn't elaborate on other matters."

  After listening to Lin Heng's words, Ping Yizhi nodded and stood up, walking into the courtyard. Lin Heng looked at this and could only follow him outside. However, as soon as they reached the outside, Ping Yizhi suddenly turned around and struck out with a palm. Lin Heng was startled and immediately dodged to the side, while his hand flipped over and slapped towards Ping Yizhi's arm.

  Ping Yizhi smiled slightly as he watched his disciple's reaction, and immediately exchanged a few blows with Lin Heng. Ping Yizhi's kung fu was absolutely extraordinary, to say the least. Just look at how he discovered Xiang Yu and others lurking outside his courtyard just by saying a word - this alone shows that his internal energy is very deep. With deep internal energy, his techniques are naturally not bad either.

  It wasn't like that. At first, he was suppressing Lin Heng and beating him to the point where he had no strength to fight back. Later, he intentionally gave Lin Heng an opening, allowing him to counterattack.

  The two men fought for a while, and Ping Yizhi was the first to stop. He stroked his short beard, saying with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, after going out for a year, you've made great progress."

  "Master, you're overpraising me!" Lin Heng chuckled to himself, feeling a bit smug. Being praised by others naturally made him happy, and as a modern person, he felt even more pleased with himself. However, just as he was basking in the praise, Ping Yi's face turned stern, and he shouted: "You little brat, you may not be bad, but what are you being smug about? Whether it's medicine or martial arts, you're only mediocre at best. You're still far from being a true master."

  "Yes, disciple will definitely work hard and not disappoint Master's expectations!" Lin Heng immediately bowed his head and clasped his fists, but secretly rolled his eyes. However, although he didn't like hearing this, he still put it in his heart to some extent. Not to mention anything else, just talking about his initial goal Linghu Chong, that was far beyond him, and Lin Heng couldn't even confirm whether he had reached the standard of Linghu Chong at the beginning? So although he was proud, he didn't dare to be careless.

  Two people were talking here, going out to buy vegetables Wang Lan also came back, she saw Lin Heng, naturally very happy, immediately pulled Lin Heng to talk well, even dinner didn't go to do, made Ping Yizhi very embarrassed, always coughing there, just as soon as he coughed, Wang Lan glared at him, Ping Yizhi shut up, after a while continued to cough, Wang Lan glared at him again, he shut up again.

  Lin Heng said this to Wang Lan, but he also paid attention to these things and thought they were quite funny.

  Back home, Lin Heng naturally wanted to take a good rest. As soon as he returned, he made a plan for himself, which was to rest for three days first. For three days, except for practicing internal skills, nothing else would be practiced. The formal practice would also have to wait until after the three days were over. Unfortunately, his idea was great, but on the second day, he was dragged out by Ping Yi to go to the mountains to pick herbs together.

  At noon, the two returned and Ping Yiyi again pulled Lin Heng to study pharmacology. When he felt it was about right, he would ponder the medicinal materials himself, then have Lin Heng practice martial arts in front of him, not giving him a moment's relaxation.

  Lin Heng could only seriously cultivate and then re-plan.

  This time out, Lin Heng obtained the Wu Yue Swordsmanship, which is also the swordsmanship he is currently working hard to study. However, he doesn't want to put down the Arhat Fist and the Infinite Swordsmanship either, so every morning and evening, he will practice the Arhat Fist a few times. When studying the Wu Yue Swordsmanship, he will also compare it with the Infinite Swordsmanship. As it turns out, this unintentional cultivation has actually accelerated his progress. The Wu Yue Swordsmanship is hard to say, but for the Arhat Fist and the Infinite Swordsmanship, he has indeed felt a significant improvement. This progress makes him delighted and also makes him more determined to persist in his cultivation.

  Unconsciously, more than a month had passed. On this day, six very strange people arrived at home. Lin Heng couldn't help but laugh when he saw them.

  "Taoyuan Six Immortals, how did you end up here?" Lin Heng immediately greeted the six of them. Unfortunately, the Taoyuan Six Immortals didn't recognize him, and one of them was even lying there on the verge of death, so they naturally wouldn't bother with him either.

  Five men carried Old Six straight in, and were quickly driven out by Ping Yi. Lin Heng watched this with a dark smile. The five guys couldn't stay put, they looked around outside for a while, then discussed going to Yang Zai Xing's temple to pray to the gods and Buddha together, and ran off before they even finished discussing it. Lin Heng watched this, and smiled slightly, he knew that when they came back again, Yue Bu Gun would have arrived.

  As expected, when the five of them came here again, they had a few more tails behind them. However, unlike on TV, only Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze were present, and they were hiding very secretly. If Lin Heng wasn't familiar with this place, it would have been hard to detect them.

  "It seems that TV dramas are not trustworthy!" Lin Heng muttered to himself, then stood beside Ping Yizhi and seriously watched him treat Tao Gu's old sixth.

  Ping Yizhi's treatment method is really violent, but you have to say that it's the best way. Lin Heng knew that he couldn't do this method himself, especially the technique of connecting meridians, which was absolutely a heavenly medical skill.

  With a loud crack, Ping Yizhi's palm struck the Baihui acupoint on Taoshixian's head, waking him up. As soon as he woke up, Taoshixian started scolding, and the other five immortals quickly stopped him, fearing that they would offend Ping Yizhi. At this time, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze had already left, but they didn't know that just as they were leaving, a young servant arrived at the mountain valley. After entering, he walked straight to Ping Yizhi's ear and whispered two sentences, then Ping Yizhi's face changed, and he nodded to the young servant.

  After Xiao Shuai left, Ping Yi pointed to Lin Heng and said: "Heng Er, you come with me to the riverbank, someone has invited me to see a patient." Then he turned to Tao Gu Liu Xian and said: "You six follow me, when I haven't told you what to do, just follow me."

  He then had Lin Heng carry the medicine box and walk out of the gate. Lin Heng knew that the young man must have come to talk about Linghu Cong, and Ping Yi pointed out that this trip was specifically to rescue and treat Linghu Cong.

  Later, Lin Heng looked at the back of Ping Yizhi with a complex expression. This time, saving Linghu Chong was the only time in Ping Yizhi's life that he had lost his hand, and it was this loss that led him to contract the demonic illness, dying on Wuba Gang. By rights, Lin Heng should have stopped his master, but he knew he couldn't.

  "Alas!" Lin Heng sighed softly and could only follow him, occasionally interjecting with a joke or two to prevent his master from becoming too obsessed. After all, for an injury like Linghu Cong's, in this world, only the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Xing Da Fa had any hope of curing it.

  Eight people arrived at the lake one after another, and Tao Gu Liu Xian was the first to shout. In the cabin, Yue Buqun, who had a guilty conscience, was startled, but everyone didn't know what he was thinking. Ping Yi pointed directly and said: "Which one is Lord Leng's brother?"

  He spoke very politely, and Lin Heng was quite surprised to hear it. Looking at his master, Lin Heng thought of those who had helped Linghu Chong to please Ren Yingying. Honestly, he really couldn't understand what kind of favor would make them listen to a little girl's words like that. It wasn't as if Ren Yingying hadn't begged for mercy on their behalf in front of Dongfang Bubai and gotten the antidote for the Three Corpse Brain Elixir. But that antidote wasn't even a real antidote, anyway. Moreover, not all of those people had taken the elixir - like Ping Yizhi, who hadn't taken it, and he had said that the Three Corpse Brain Elixir was made from very precious medicinal materials, which even the Divine Sect didn't have much of. So, among so many people, only a few had actually taken the elixir. But this was exactly what made Lin Heng puzzled - if they had gotten Ren Yingying's antidote and were serving her because of that, it would be understandable, but since they hadn't even taken the poisonous elixir, why were they still listening to her like that?

  Seeing that his master had already gone up, Lin Heng immediately stopped his thoughts and followed him in. As soon as he entered the cabin, he saw Linghu Chong and winked at him, Linghu Chong was also very surprised, didn't expect to see this little brother who spent more than a month with him on the cliff again here.

  He didn't even let Linghu Cong speak, and with a wave of his hand, he had him sit down, then felt his pulse. At a glance, he saw what was wrong with Linghu Cong and immediately cursed the Peach Valley Six Immortals roundly.

  Next, everything was as described in the original work, and Lin Heng did not speak out. At this time, Ping Yizhi still didn't think he couldn't cure Linghu Cong's illness, but just because he had never seen it before, so it was a bit troublesome. So, he left behind the Dan medicine, left behind the Taogu Six Immortals, and took Lin Heng away.

  On the road, Ping Yi suddenly stopped and looked pale and confused. Lin Heng took a look and knew something was wrong, so he immediately spoke up: "Master, I think Lao Fu's illness is not incurable, why..."

  "What did you just say?" Ping Yi's finger was shaking violently, and he grabbed Lin Heng with one hand. His hands were very powerful, pinching Lin Heng's shoulders painfully.
