Chapter 15 Who Stole My Sword Seed
mew?
Chen Ji fell into deep thought. It turned out that no one could hear what the dark clouds were saying.

It’s not that Wuyun can speak human language, but that he can understand cat language!
He changed the subject and asked, "Brother Liu, why are you still awake in the middle of the night?"

Liu Quxing looked at the open book "General Principles of Medical Skills" on the counter and said helplessly, "You are studying so hard, it's hard for me to fall asleep..."

Chen Ji silently closed the Medical Outline: "..."

He was studying not to become an imperial physician, but to hide his identity, but Liu Quxing didn't think so.

At this time, Liu Quxing leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Today, my Liu family came to ask Master to diagnose an illness, and casually asked if Master has any direct disciples now."

"What did Master say?"

"Master said that he will decide who will be his direct disciple in the near future," said Liu Quxing.

Chen Ji used a bamboo stick to pick up the wick, making the light brighter: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Quxing gathered the coat on his shoulders and considered his words: "Chen Ji, although the imperial physician has a leisurely job, he is still in the officialdom. It is not easy to survive in the officialdom. If you are not careful, you may end up with the whole family being executed."

Chen Ji was puzzled: "What exactly does Senior Brother Liu want to say?"

Liu Quxing was rarely sincere: "You and She Dengke are not suitable for officialdom. Your knowledge, your social skills, and your connections are destined to make you have no future even if you enter the officialdom. It just so happens that your family is unwilling to pay for your studies anymore. I will pay you some money, and you can leave the clinic and start a small business. From now on, you don't need to rely on your family for support. How do you do it?"

Chen Ji remained noncommittal.

Liu Quxing finally said, "Chen Ji, since you came to the clinic, you have been slower than She Dengke in recognizing words, and you can't even take a pulse accurately. You don't have the talent to inherit the master's legacy, so give up."

Chen Ji smiled and responded: "Brother, you have been very thoughtful for me, but can I think about it for a while?"

"Okay," Liu Quxing nodded, "Then you should think about it carefully."

After saying that, he turned and went back to the backyard.

However, Chen Ji saw a dark shadow chasing Liu Quxing from under the counter and then quickly jumped out.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and grabbed Wuyun's neck and pulled him back: "What are you doing?"

The dark cloud waved its claws in anger in the air: "He looks down on you!"

Chen Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are also very rude to me."

Dark Cloud: “That’s different!”

"Alright, alright, I understand him," Chen Ji sighed, "In this era, it's not easy for anyone to find a way out. If you encounter an opportunity, you must seize it..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Ji's expression suddenly changed, and at one o'clock in the morning, an ice stream arrived as expected, like ice flowing in his blood.

This time, the ice flow came more violently than before. It seemed as if it had a grudge with the lava flow for tens of thousands of years and were inherently incompatible.

The icy flow seeped into his body bit by bit, as if an ice tree had grown in his body, constantly branching out and spreading leaves. Even his breath was filled with white frost.

In just a short breath of time, the ice flow didn't even give him a chance to stand up and hold the stone stake, and it gradually froze like a sculpture.

How to do?
Chen Ji turned his head slowly and stiffly to look at the medicine cabinet. He wanted to struggle to get the ginseng, but found that his legs had lost sensation and were frozen in place!
Wu Yun looked at the frosty air exhaled by Chen Ji and stood there in a daze: "What... happened to you?"

Chen Ji wanted to ask Wu Yun to help him find ginseng, but he found that his lips were already stuck together. He could only watch himself lose his vitality bit by bit...

No, there is still a chance!
At this time, Wuyun was so anxious seeing Chen Ji's miserable condition that he lost his composure and started circling around him.

It wanted to save Chen Ji, but it had no idea how to save him: "Just tell me something, what should I do?"

The next moment, Wuyun discovered that Chen Ji was staring at a certain direction... It followed Chen Ji's gaze and found that it was the medicine cabinet in the clinic.

Wuyun jumped to the medicine cabinet and opened the drawers one by one with his claws. He didn't know what was in the drawers, but since Chen Ji was staring at it, there must be a reason!

The medicine cabinet was so crowded that it didn't know which one to pick up, so it quickly opened all the drawers and took out the herbs one by one to try!
Angelica, that’s not right.

Tangerine peel, that’s not right.

Cistanche deserticola is not right either.

The dark cloud failed again and again and became so anxious that it was about to go crazy.

When it turned around again, it found that Chen Ji's eyes had lost their luster.

……

……

Chen Ji seemed to have returned to that long dark night.

The sounds of wind, rain, and oars paddling on the water; someone was using a small boat to carry him across the black sea of ​​clouds.

It was in this dark night that he heard a sound. It was the sound of shouting and killing that he often heard in his dreams when he was a child!
The sound was like a loud rumbling sound on an ancient battlefield, the sea was upside down, the mountains collapsed, and even the sky was broken into dozens of cracks.

In the boundless nothingness, a huge voice rang out like a bell, questioning:

"Who stole my divine way?"

"Who stole my sword seed?"

"Who stole my green mountain?"

Chen Ji did not answer, nor did he know how to answer. Who was the other party? What did Shinto, sword species, and Qingshan refer to? He had no idea.

After a long silence, the great voice finally spoke again: "Well, I can use your body to return to the world!"

Chen Ji had a premonition that when he was completely frozen, that would be the time for the other party to revive through his body!
Could it be that Li Qingniao sent himself to this world just to help this unknown existence wake up?
Am I going to die? But I just got a cat.

Chen Ji was lost in thought and was already on his deathbed.

However, at this moment, Wuyun came running back with a ginseng without roots in his mouth and put the ginseng close to Chen Ji's mouth!
The moment the old ginseng touched Chen Ji, it immediately sucked away most of the ice flow like a whale, and turned it into six crystal clear beads that fell on the counter and rolled to the edge of the counter.

Saved!
Before he was completely frozen, Chen Ji used his last bit of strength to move his eyes, hoping that the dark clouds could understand what he meant.

And the dark clouds really gave him a glimmer of hope in his despair.

The next moment, the dark cloud chased the beads rolling on the counter and swallowed them one by one into its mouth.

A huge molten flow was fed back from the dark cloud, penetrated into Chen Ji's brow, and pressed all the remaining ice flow back into his dantian, washing over his body and pulling Chen Ji out of the darkness!
After he regained consciousness and movement, he immediately closed his eyes, lowered his legs and bent his knees, using the technique of carrying stones and holding stakes to resist the ice flow.

When he put out the stone-carrying pile, the molten flow suddenly became agitated and rose up!

It's like an army that once had no commander, but now has a general. The general rides an armored horse and holds the royal flag!
Chen Ji was wondering why the technique of carrying stones and holding poles that Old Man Yao taught him was so suitable for him.

and many more!

After the molten flow suppressed the ice flow back to the Dantian, it was attracted by the Tianshu point on the left side of the Dantian, and swallowed almost all of the molten flow like a whirlpool!
In an instant, a blazing fire ignited in the Tianshu acupoint. The icy flow in the Dantian shrank deeper again, as if it was somewhat afraid of the fire.

"With the fire at the Tianshu acupoint guarding it, can we completely suppress this ice flow? No, one acupoint is not enough."

Among the twelve meridians, there are four "Dantian portals", namely the left and right Tianshu points, and the left and right Daju points. Just lighting up one Tianshu point is not enough to stop the ice flow.

Unfortunately, after igniting the Tianshu acupoint on the left side, there was very little molten flow left...

While thinking, Wuyun gently raised his paw and touched the tip of Chen Ji's index finger with his furry paw.

boom!
Along with the molten flow in Wuyun's body, it all poured into Chen Ji's body and went straight to the Tianshu point on the right side, igniting the second fire!

The two fires kept moistening Chen Ji's body. A surge of abundant power was flowing through his body. All his fatigue was swept away, and he became stronger!
He suddenly remembered what old man Yao said: The sky has three treasures, the sun, the moon and the stars; humans have three treasures, essence, energy and spirit!

When the essence is full, one does not think about sex; when the qi is full, one does not think about food; when the spirit is full, one does not think about sleep. So this is the feeling of having full qi and spirit!
Chen Ji opened his eyes, they were bright and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

It turns out that this is what cultivation is!

He smiled at the dark cloud, reached out and touched its head, and whispered, "Thank you."

"It didn't take much effort, actually," Wuyun said with his head held high, as if he had just done something trivial.

"Well, thank you too. Without you, I would have died... Wuyun, you are the most powerful cat in the world!"

"It's okay, this is just the beginning!" Wuyun raised his head a little higher.

The oil residue lamp on the counter had been burning for a long time, and the flame gradually dimmed. Chen Ji stood in the main hall, looking at the new world in front of him with fiery eyes.

But the fire was quickly put out by a basin of cold water: the ginseng was gone!

Chen Ji: “It’s over!”

Wuyun was puzzled: "What's over?"

"I am done."

Chen Ji stood up and took out the clinic's account book and looked through it: "Let me see how much that ginseng is worth... What the hell, thirty taels of silver?!"

"A steamed bun costs two cents, and a jar of water costs two cents. Nowadays, about nine hundred cents can be exchanged for one tael of silver, and this fifty-year-old ginseng costs thirty taels of silver. Is this ginseng made of gold?!"

It’s not enough to sell the relics!
He was already burdened with a foreign debt of 240 wen for school fees and 320 wen for medicine fees at the Zhou residence, and now he had to bear an additional 30 taels of silver, making the already poor family even worse off!

"I'm so poor. Why am I so poor? If I can't make up for it with this ginseng, will old man Yao kill me?"

Wuyun listened to Chen Ji's mumbling for a while, and then remained silent for a while.

Finally, it struggled for a long time, and then seemed to make a sad decision: "Why don't you take me to Tianjie to perform? I can do a backflip!"

Chen Ji stood in awe: "...It's really a great sacrifice."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the clinic.

dong dong dong.

dong dong dong.

The visitor knocked twice in a leisurely manner. The dull sound seemed particularly abrupt in the middle of the night, as if it was knocking directly on the heart.

Chen Ji used his eyes to signal Wu Yun to return to Prince Jing's Mansion from the backyard, and he slowly approached and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

The visitor chuckled and responded, "Cloud Sheep."

This time, Chen Ji had no master by his side.
