Chapter 680: Chapter 66: The Chief Magician Reunites, the Silver-Haired Legend Finally Arrives!_3

Over the past few days, Li Guanyi had stayed here, visiting these renowned physicians daily. Although none could solve Shaking Light’s weakness, they did provide many good medicines, which he brewed into soups to replenish Shaking Light’s Primordial Qi.

Because it was too bitter, Li Guanyi, following a method previously provided by Mr. Lei Laomeng, found a beehive and extracted a third of the honey to mix into Shaking Light’s medicine, making it somewhat palatable.

Illness arrives like a collapsing mountain and departs like drawing silk.

Shaking Light’s body remained weak without improvement, stuck at a certain level, neither worsening nor improving. After Gongsun Feixue inquired about Shaking Light’s condition, Li Guanyi answered honestly. Gongsun Feixue pondered for a moment and suggested, "Since ordinary physicians can’t detoxify, how about trying some unconventional remedies from different places? Are you willing to give it a try?"

Li Guanyi naturally agreed, and Gongsun Feixue collected information on some reclusive but somewhat famous physicians. Li Guanyi and Shaking Light visited them one by one, but these rural doctors also failed to succeed, and the day gradually turned to evening.

Li Guanyi rode his horse, with Shaking Light sitting in front of him, and the young Taoist held the reins as the horse ambled alongside a stream. From a distance, under the darkening sky and magnificent sunset, the view was breathtaking.

"Hmm, there’s only one physician left to visit."

Li Guanyi checked the records provided by Gongsun Feixue, estimated the time, and thought, "Let’s go see him. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll just wait for Mr. Siming to return."

"Might as well check out the surrounding terrain while we’re at it."

Li Guanyi spoke with a smile. Over the past few days of visiting physicians, he had scouted the surrounding areas thoroughly, also roughly figuring out where the Chen Country’s one thousand armored soldiers might position themselves if they decided to coerce the Gongsun Family.

Together with Shaking Light, they rode to a village shortly after, asked for directions, and then went to make their visit. After two more roads, Li Guanyi dismounted while allowing the weak-bodied Shaking Light to stay on the horse, leading the horse by foot as a sign of respect.

As they approached, Li Guanyi suddenly paused in his steps, sensing the bamboo flute at his waist suddenly gleaming with flowing light as if touched by a Qi Mechanism, emitting a series of clear chimes.

!!!

Is this...

Someone nearby reacting to Qingpao Changsheng’s Divine Weapon?

Who is it?!

Li Guanyi felt a chill in his heart, his right hand gripping the sword hilt at his waist, pressing down to stabilize the bamboo flute. At that moment, the door of the cabin ahead opened and an old man with white hair and dressed in gray robes stepped out with a calm gaze.

He appeared aged but emanated an air of intense vitality as he looked over the area.

His gaze fell on the bamboo flute at Li Guanyi’s waist.

The old man’s expression froze for a moment, and Li Guanyi sensed a strong scent of blood and a murderous intent gripping his weapon. Suddenly, a calm voice came from the old man, "Gentlemen, you’ve come for a medical consultation."

The earlier murderous aura was dispelled.

Li Guanyi looked up to see the silver-haired girl remain calm. Shaking Light’s Mystical Skills were strong, especially her ability to sense hostility. Having supported each other in life and death since fleeing Jiangzhou City over a year ago, Li Guanyi trusted Shaking Light’s judgment and relaxed, smiling and saying, "Indeed, old sir, we’ve heard that within hundreds of miles, your medical skills are unparalleled."

The old man stayed silent for a moment and then said, "Come in."

Li Guanyi led the horse forward, tied the reins to a nearby tree, and naturally extended his hand.

Shaking Light placed her hand on the young Taoist’s wrist.

Li Guanyi gently pulled, helping Shaking Light off the horse, and the two entered the house. The house was extremely tidy, almost excessively so, not like the ordinary village dwellings that kept poultry and livestock. The old man took Shaking Light’s pulse.

Hs eyes on the silver-haired girl, he said:

"...You have a strong life force."

"Did he drip his blood into your mouth?"

The silver-haired girl answered in an even tone, "I bit him."

The old man paused, his face full of suspicion, and shook his head:

"Young people, truly bold."

He then looked at the bamboo flute at Li Guanyi’s waist and said, "Surviving an encounter with Qingpao and even claiming the Moon Snow Flute and making it here is more than just luck."

Finding this place was naturally because they were seeking someone who could treat Shaking Light’s condition, and it was found by coincidental fate.

But from the way he spoke...

Moon Snow Flute.

Li Guanyi felt a subtle change in his heart but asked with a smile, "Senior, do you recognize the owner of this bamboo flute?"

The old man looked at Li Guanyi, went to fetch something, and spoke in an even tone:

"How could I not know him? One rainy day, I sheltered him from the storm. Later, when I learned of his identity, I went to ask him about the path of practice. However, I didn’t expect that during a casual chat, I was almost lured into becoming a demon."

The old man paused, then sighed and said:

"No, I had already been lured into becoming a demon."

"Back then, I attacked living beings, consuming their flesh and blood to practice martial arts."

"My disciple followed behind me, helping those I harmed, treating their injuries and detoxifying them, preventing me from accumulating too much evil debt in my madness. But, the words of the Qingpao man were too enticing."

"As I progressed in my martial arts, the more I gained, the more I felt he was right, and my actions became more skewed.

"The deeper I sank, the deeper I fell..."

Later, even my disciple abandoned me and took away my Pill Furnace and elixir recipes, disappearing to who knows where. I was lured into the forests by him, trapped in an array, surviving on raw flesh and blood, not knowing how long it took before I finally came to my senses."
