The system is a broken bowl

Although the city walls of Jingzhou are low, the city is still very prosperous and the commercial atmosphere is very strong. It is not comparable to the city of Jinsha, but it is much better than those state cities in the Dashun Empire.

Who would have thought that this was just the capital of a border prefecture in the Shun Empire? Who would have thought that more than 200 miles away, there is actually a Gobi desert and a hundred-mile swamp?

However, Tiangan Continent is a world of cultivation, with various topography, landforms, and climate conditions that cannot be inferred using the common sense of Earth's geography. It is said that the north and south poles of the Tiangan planet are two heavens of ice and fire.

Song Chen was surprised to find that blond and blue-eyed horses could be seen everywhere in Jingzhou City. It seemed that the "Kardashian" that Jin Shun brought to Jiaohuafang to show off was taken from the Shun Empire.

Seeing Song Chen staring at those foreign girls intently, Du Quan thought he liked them, so he introduced them: "These are Yutu people. They come from the Yutu Kingdom in the East Sea. If Brother Song has the opportunity to go to the eastern part of the Dashun Empire, There are more Yutu people in Xinzhou and Junzhou.

Their custom is very strange. Whether you are marrying a Yu Tu man or a Yu Tu woman, you must prepare a tiger as a dowry or betrothal gift. "

Song Chen nodded, "Yu Tu" means tiger. It seems that the people of Tu country either have the blood inheritance of tigers, or they use tigers as totems.

It is not uncommon to use beasts as totems. The totem of the Beixian Dynasty is the bald eagle, and the totem of the Daxuan Empire is the wolf. Both have symbolic meanings and cultural traditions.

If Song Chen were asked to choose a totem for the new empire in the future, there is no doubt that it would be Shenlong.

While talking, he had arrived at Du Mansion.

"Hurry and inform the head of the family that a distinguished guest is coming."

Du Quan ordered the boy guarding the door, and then accompanied Song Chen into the mansion.

Du Mansion is very spacious. In terms of area alone, it is not much smaller than Lingbaozhai. The architectural style here is different from that of Dashun Empire and Jinsha City. Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the roofs are all tower-shaped. The drainage system is carefully designed and cleverly integrated with the building. It can be used for both drainage and landscape, forming a unique architectural style.

The plants are mainly large-leafed plants, and there are a variety of flowers, which fully reflects the beauty of flowers without appearing cluttered.

"Brother Song, please sit down. I'll be right back."

After leading Song Chen to the hall, Du Quan ordered his servants to serve tea and then temporarily excused himself. On the way here, Song Chen had already announced his family name, and Du Quan made sure to call him Brother Song.

Song Chen sat down in the hall and casually browsed the furnishings in the room.

The furniture is simple and the furnishings are simple. The decorations are mainly calligraphy, paintings and porcelain, with some small potted plants. It is full of the atmosphere of a scholarly family, but does not feel like a merchant's home.

After a while, Du Quan and an old man came to the hall.

It seems that this old man is younger than Du Quan and has a cultivation level at the peak of the Earth Silver Realm. Judging from his attire and style, he should be Du Zhi, the current head of the Du family.

Song Chen stood up and was about to salute him. Unexpectedly, Du Zhi suddenly knelt down and said, "Du Zhi pays homage to my benefactor!"

Song Chen hurriedly helped him up. "Master Du, you don't have to be like this! This is so embarrassing for this junior!"

Du Zhi sighed: "My third brother has told me everything, but my uncle Du Dechang is already unconscious! There is no way to take the elixir given by my benefactor!"

Du Zhi was worthy of being the head of the family, and he saw that Song Chen was an expert. Since he has the ability to get rid of the poison, he must also be able to cure his uncle Du Dechang's strange disease.

"Without further ado! Take me to see Mr. Du quickly."

Song Chen didn't show any pretense and hurriedly motioned to the Du brothers to lead the way.

He didn't expect that Du Dechang had reached this point. There is only one explanation, that is, the poison in his body is no longer trivial. Judging from Du Zhi's posture, it may be even more serious than Elder Qin of the Tiandao Sect.

Brothers Du Zhi and Du Quan did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly led Song Chen into the inner hall.

The furnishings and decorations of the inner hall are exactly the same as the style of the main hall. It seems that the Du family is not just a facade or arty.

Lying on the bed was an unconscious old man with blue lips and sunken eye sockets. Looking like that, rather than saying that he was terminally ill, it was better to say that he was on his deathbed.

Several women were sobbing on the side, and when they saw Song Chen and the others coming in, they hurriedly stood aside.

Song Chen first used his vitality and mental power to explore Du Dechang's meridians and body. The problem was indeed serious! There is only a trace of vitality still flowing through the body. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a gossamer.

The smaller meridians were blocked, several main meridians shrank, and the internal organs were almost necrotic! This is the vicious consequence of abusing Tiancai Dibao, which is much more serious than Yan Junyao's medicine jar. Although Yan Junyao took many elixirs, erysipelas accumulated bit by bit and was a chronic disease. Du Dechang took Tiancai Dibao directly, which was an acute attack of toxins.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures contain toxins to a greater or lesser extent. Human beings' physiques are different from those of monsters and beasts. Direct consumption of heavenly materials and earthly treasures by humans will not only cause great waste, but can sometimes be fatal. Du Dechang took Tiancai Dibao desperately, and he is lucky that he has not died yet.

At first, Song Chen believed that the cause of Du Dechang's critical situation was poison. Now it seems that the first thing that will take his life is the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he has taken.

Fortunately, he came to the Du family, otherwise even if he took "goat dung eggs", he would be unable to save his life.

"You are all martial arts cultivators. Don't you know that medicinal materials at the level of heavenly materials and earthly treasures cannot be taken directly?"

Song Chen said with a frown while using his vitality to help Du Dechang slowly clear his meridians.

"Reporting to the benefactor, of course we know! But we can't find a high-level alchemist, and we can't watch our uncle die without medicine, so..."

Both brothers Du Zhi and Du Quan looked anxious and embarrassed.

Song Chen didn't say anything else. Du Zhi was telling the truth. There are not many high-level alchemists who dare to use natural materials to make pills.

It seems that we have to stay here for some time. Although he has the Haoyang Pill that can cure all poisons, it won't have much effect if Du Dechang takes it in his current condition.

Du Dechang's condition is not as good as Ling Zixuan's at the time. If he was not a high-level martial artist in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, and his meridians and muscles were much stronger than Ling Zixuan, he would have passed away long ago.

Of course, Song Chen is no longer a Wuxia Amon now. He is no longer the same as before. He can treat difficult and complicated diseases that others are helpless with as easily as treating minor illnesses and pains. When treating Ling Zixuan, three-tenths of it was pills, three-tenths was blind guessing, and the rest was luck. Now, 70% depends on ability and 30% depends on elixir.

Although the city wall of Jingzhou is low, the city is still very prosperous and has a strong business atmosphere. It is not as good as the City of Sands, but much better than those state capitals of the Dashun Empire.

Who would have thought that this is just a state capital of a frontier state of the Dashun Empire? Who would have thought that more than 200 miles away, there is a desert Gobi and a hundred miles of swamp?

However, Tiangan Continent is a world of cultivation, with strange topography and climate conditions, which cannot be inferred by the geographical common sense of the earth. It is said that the north and south poles of Tiangan planet are both ice and fire.

Song Chen was surprised to find that there were big blond and blue-eyed foreign horses everywhere in Jingzhou City. It seems that the "Kardashian" that Jin Shun brought to the Huanhuafang to show off was hooked from the Dashun Empire.

Seeing Song Chen staring at those foreign girls, Du Quan thought he liked them, so he introduced them: "These are Yutu people, they are from Yutu country in the Dongda Sea. If Brother Song has the opportunity to go to Xinzhou and Zhizhou in the east of the Great Shun Empire, there are more Yutu people there.

Their customs are very strange. Whether marrying a Yutu man or marrying a Yutu woman, you must prepare a tiger, either as a dowry or as a betrothal gift."

Song Chen nodded, "Yutu" means tiger. It seems that the Yutu people either have the bloodline of the tiger or use the tiger as a totem.

It is not uncommon to use a beast as a totem. The totem of the Beixi Dynasty is the bald eagle, and the totem of the Great Xuan Empire is the gray wolf, both of which have symbolic meanings and cultural traditions.

If Song Chen is asked to set a totem for the future new empire, it is undoubtedly the dragon.

While talking, he has arrived at the Du Mansion.

"Go and inform the master of the house, and tell him that a distinguished guest is visiting."

Du Quan told the gatekeeper, and then accompanied Song Chen into the mansion.

The Du Mansion is very spacious. In terms of floor area, it is not much smaller than Lingbaozhai. The architectural style here is different from that of the Dashun Empire and the City of Jinsha. Probably because of the heavy rain, the roofs are all in the shape of a tower. The drainage system has been carefully designed and cleverly combined with the architecture. It can be used for drainage and as a landscape, forming a unique architectural style.

The plants are mainly large-leafed plants, and there are all kinds of flowers, which fully reflect the beauty of flowers without being messy.

"Brother Song, please sit down. I'll be back soon."

After leading Song Chen to the hall, Du Quan told the servants to serve tea, and then temporarily left. On the way here, Song Chen had already introduced himself, and Du Quan insisted on calling him Brother Song.

Song Chen sat down in the hall and casually browsed the furnishings in the room.

The furniture is simple and the furnishings are simple. The decorations are mainly calligraphy and porcelain, with some small potted plants. It is full of the flavor of a scholarly family, but not the feeling of a merchant's home.

After a while, Du Quan and an old man came to the hall.

It seems that this old man is younger than Du Quan, with the cultivation of the peak of the Earth Silver Realm. Judging from his attire and style, he should be the current head of the Du family, Du Zhi.

Song Chen stood up and was about to greet him. Unexpectedly, Du Zhi knelt down with a "thump": "Du Zhi greets the benefactor!"

Song Chen hurriedly helped him up. "Master Du, there is no need to do this! This is embarrassing for the younger generation!"

Du Zhi sighed: "My third brother has told me everything that happened, but my uncle Du Dechang is unconscious! There is no way to take the elixir given by the benefactor!"

Du Zhi is worthy of being a generation of head of the family. He saw that Song Chen is a master. Since he has the ability to remove the poison, he must be able to cure his uncle Du Dechang's strange disease.

"There is no time to lose! Take me to see Grandpa Du."

Song Chen was not hypocritical and quickly signaled the Du brothers to lead the way.

He did not expect that Du Dechang had reached this point. There was only one explanation, that is, the poison in his body was already very serious. Judging from Du Zhi's posture, it might be more serious than that of Elder Qin of Tiandao Sect.

The brothers Du Zhi and Du Quan did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly led Song Chen into the inner hall.

The furnishings and decorations in the inner hall were exactly the same as those in the hall. It seemed that the Du family was not just decorating the facade or pretending to be elegant.

There was an unconscious old man lying on the bed, with blue lips and deep eye sockets. It looked like he was dying rather than terminally ill.

Several women were sobbing on the side, and when they saw Song Chen and the other two coming in, they hurriedly stood aside.

Song Chen first used his vitality and mental power to explore Du Dechang's meridians and muscles. The problem was indeed very serious! There is only a trace of vital energy still flowing through the body. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a thin thread.

The smaller meridians were blocked, several main meridians shrank, and the internal organs were almost necrotic! This is the vicious consequence of abusing the treasures of heaven, materials and earth, which is much more serious than Yan Junyao's medicine jar. Although Yan Junyao took many elixirs, erysipelas accumulated bit by bit and was a chronic disease. Du Dechang took Tiancai Dibao directly, which was an acute attack of toxins.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures contain toxins to a greater or lesser extent. Human beings' physiques are different from those of monsters and beasts. Direct consumption of heavenly materials and earthly treasures by humans will not only cause great waste, but can sometimes be fatal. Du Dechang took Tiancai Dibao desperately, and he is lucky that he has not died yet.

At first, Song Chen believed that the cause of Du Dechang's critical situation was poison. Now it seems that the first thing that will take his life is the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he has taken.

Fortunately, he came to the Du family, otherwise even if he took "goat dung eggs", he would be unable to save his life.

"You are all martial arts cultivators. Don't you know that medicinal materials at the level of heavenly materials and earthly treasures cannot be taken directly?"

Song Chen said with a frown while using his vitality to help Du Dechang slowly clear his meridians.

"Replying to my benefactor, of course we know! But we can't find a high-level alchemist, and we can't just watch my uncle have no cure, so..."

Du Zhi and Du Quan both had anxious and embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Song Chen didn't say anything else. What Du Zhi said was the truth. There were not many high-level alchemists who dared to use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to make alchemy.

It seems that we are going to spend some time here. Although he has the Haoyang Pill that can cure all poisons, given Du Dechang's current condition, taking it will not have much effect.

Du Dechang's condition is not as good as that of Ling Zixuan. If he were not a high-level martial artist in the middle stage of the Condensing Yuan Realm, and the strength of his body's meridians far exceeds that of Ling Zixuan, he would have traveled westward long ago.

Of course, Song Chen is no longer Wu Xia Amen. He is already different from what he used to be. He can treat difficult and complicated diseases that others are unable to cure as easily as minor illnesses and pains. At the beginning, Ling Zixuan's treatment relied on three-thirds of the medicine, three-thirds of blindness, and the rest of luck. Now, 70% depends on ability and 30% depends on pills.
