The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power

Shennongjia is located to the west of Xiangyang, between the Yangtze River and the Han River. It has always been associated with many mysterious legends. Because the landform is primitive and wild and inaccessible, many precious medicinal materials are produced.

In the courtyard of a small town near Shennongjia in the west of Xiangyang City, the disciples of the Alchemy Branch of the Huashan School went to bed early after a busy day.

The Huashan Sect has a long history, which can be traced back to the ancestor Chen Tuan in the early Song Dynasty. However, at that time, the Huashan Sect was not popular.

Later, the Southern Song Dynasty fell, and the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain failed to debate the scriptures in the Yuan court and was suppressed by the Yuan court. In the end, something happened to the chief sect in Zhongnan Mountain, and they could only branch out into multiple branches to preach in various places to preserve the fire.

One of the Quanzhen Seven Sons, a disciple of Guangningzi Hao Datong, came to Huashan and merged the martial arts sects in Huashan to form a brand new Huashan sect, which has been passed down to this day and has become one of the six major martial arts sects.

Many elders of the Huashan Sect were once disciples of the Quanzhen Sect. Therefore, the Huashan Sect is close to the Taoist inheritance in many aspects. It also conducts research on refining alchemy and taking medicine. It has an alchemy lineage that specializes in collecting medicinal materials to make elixirs.

The courtyard of the small town was silent late at night. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew. Cai Yue, the elder of the Huashan Alchemy Room, who was having a sweet dream, suddenly became excited and felt nothing but boredom.

He was about to get up and put away the money he had saved for a long time, when he suddenly felt that the air was a bit cold, and he was almost frightened to death the next moment.

"Don't move, don't scream, or you will die!"

A hand covered Cai Yue's mouth to silence him, and then a touch of coldness fell across his neck. Years of traveling in the world told him that the thing on his neck was very sharp, so he couldn't make fun of his own life.

He blinked wildly to indicate that he understood and would cooperate.

"You're a smart guy, I thought I was going to meet an idiot and need some blood!"

Xu Xin released his hand covering Cai Yue's mouth, and used the dagger to mark the latter's neck, as if he was thinking about how to cut it.

"Da, Da Xia, you don't want to make such a joke. Whatever you want, just say it. The gold and silver are in the backyard. I can take you to get them..."

Cai Yue was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. If he hadn't been sitting on the bed and unable to kneel down, he would have knelt down and begged for mercy.

Xu Xin's deep voice sounded in the room, "Elder Cai, I heard that you are looking for a strange spiritual snake, right? Can you tell me why? Is it possible that a prestigious and upright sect like the Huashan Sect is also planning to imitate Miaojiang? Go and refine the poison..."

"This...I said, I said..."

Cai Yue hesitated for a moment, and the next moment his neck turned red. His psychological defense collapsed instantly, and he quickly said: "Master, this is what my new leader of the Huashan Sect, Xian Yutong, means.

Master Xianyu, like me, is very interested in the various medical classics left by the ancestors of the Huashan School, and has searched for many residual recipes to study. Among them is a prescription from the former Song Dynasty, which records that a kind of medicinal snake can be cultivated, and the precious blood of the medicinal snake can improve one's power.

There is another record about this prescription, which is related to the hero Guo Jing nearly a hundred years ago. It is said that when he was young, he sucked the blood of a medicinal snake, which greatly increased his power, so the heads of the past generations attached great importance to this. "

"You should be hiding some things, such as about your head Xian Yutong, go on!"

Xu Xin slightly loosened the edge of the knife and signaled Elder Cai to continue.

"I, I... I said... Master Xianyu also studies poisons. I suspect that he is refining poisons in private. I am looking for strange snakes, partly to research prescriptions, and also to provide them for the master's use. As for the master's question, I don’t know what to do with the spirit snake.”

Cai Yue's eyes flickered when he said this, and then he felt the knife on his neck tightened. He looked up and saw that Xu Xin's eyes were still cold, and he quickly continued: "Also, and also, and I once I heard the leader say something.

I drank with him until late at night, and both of us were drunk. He vaguely mentioned something. If he had helped me, he might have recovered the snake prescription. The leader, the leader must know more..."

Xu Xin slightly released the knife edge and lifted Cai Yue up from the bed, "Take me to your medicine storehouse and study room. I want the prescriptions and medicinal materials!"

Cai Yue nodded in agreement. A quarter of an hour later, he managed to save his life and was knocked unconscious by Xu Xin. At the same time, the study room and medicine storehouse of the Huashan sect's courtyard were all looted.

When this incident was reported back to Huashan, the new head of Huashan Sect, Xian Yutong, was furious and sent out his capable disciples to hunt him down. Later, he even went down the mountain himself to investigate to the end.

…

In the Zhuwu Chamber of Commerce branch in Xiangyang City, Xu Xin sat in his room and studied the remaining records of medicinal prescriptions obtained from the Huashan Sect. He was very interested in some of the records involved.

"It is indeed the medicinal snake elixir of the old ginseng immortal Liang Ziweng. He probably did not explain it clearly in order to save his life, so it is incomplete. Countless people in the Huashan sect have studied it without success. However, the person Xian Yutong said ...Is it Hu Qingniu!"

Xu Xin outlined the context of these things and guessed that the person Xian Yutong was talking about should be Hu Qingniu, the medical immortal of Die Valley of the Ming Sect.

Xian Yutong went to the Miao border to study poisons in the past. In order to refine the method of poison, he provoked a certain Miao girl. Later, he started to get into trouble and finally gave up. In the end, it brought disaster to himself. He was poisoned by the Miao woman with golden silkworm poison. However, He happened to be bumped into by Hu Qingniu and rescued.

Xian Yutong came from a famous sect and was very deceptive. Hu Qingniu was deceived by him, became sworn sworn brother with Xian Yutong, and betrothed his sister Hu Qingyang to him.

But Hu Qingniu never dreamed that Xian Yutong was just using him to obtain the golden silkworm poison he could use. After ruining Hu Qingyang's innocence, he returned to Huashan, then proposed to marry the daughter of the then head of Huashan, and successfully inherited the position of head.

Hu Qingyang lost his innocence and was abandoned by Xian Yutong, and eventually died. Hu Qingniu and Xian Yutong turned against each other. Hu Qingniu tried to assassinate Xian Yutong in the following years, but failed, and even almost died in this enemy's home. In the hands of the enemy.

After these events, Hu Qingniu, who failed in revenge, went to Butterfly Valley to live in seclusion, and vowed not to treat anyone except Mingjiao disciples.

"Hu Qingniu, Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal, medical talents are extremely rare. For this matter, we have to find Yuan Zhou's connections!"

Xu Xinxin had some plans in mind. He was interested in Liang Ziweng's medicinal snake recipe, and he was even more interested in Hu Qingniu. He definitely wanted to visit Butterfly Valley, but he had to pay attention to the method of visiting, which required Mingjiao. relationship here.

Early the next morning, a letter was sent to Yuanzhou through the special channel of the Beggar Clan. Soon Xu Xin got a reply. Yuanzhou sent someone who was equally interested in him. He was a young man named It's called... Chang Yuchun.
