Chapter 1 The Golden Wolf Kingdom

The far west, the Golden Wolf Kingdom.

On a boundless plateau stood a mountain that pierced the clouds.

This mountain was once nameless, but now it was called Zhuanlun Mountain, the location of the Golden Wolf Kingdom's number one sect, Zhuanlun Temple.

Atop Zhuanlun Mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist, the magnificent temple stretched for dozens of miles, falling silent in the night.

At a certain moment, a monk woke up from his dream in alarm.

He went outside to look.

He saw the main hall of Zhuanlun Temple illuminated by a hazy, scarlet moonlight, as if a great golden sun had risen.

The soft and majestic golden light illuminated the temple complex for dozens of miles.

"Buddha's light shines everywhere!"

"Master!"

"The Master has awakened from his seclusion!"

Seeing the golden light, all the monks who had awakened from their dreams faced the main hall, prostrating themselves devoutly with respectful and fervent attitudes.

That was the king of the snowy plateau, and also the true Buddha in their beliefs.

"Master!"

The head monk guarding in front of the main hall knelt and chanted the Buddha's name:

"I wonder what has disturbed the Master?"

The light shone for a moment before slowly returning to silence.

Amidst the apprehensive thoughts of the monks, a gentle and profound voice came from the depths of the main hall:

"Chi Xing!"

The voice was not very loud, but it spread for dozens of miles like a bronze bell being struck, echoing in the ears of many monks.

Even the serfs, who had risen after a day of toil and little sleep, felt their fatigue dissipate and their spirits lifted as if they had drunk sweet dew upon hearing this sound.

They couldn't help but prostrate themselves even more.

In a temple ten miles away from the main hall, a thin, middle-aged monk woke up from his silence:

"My teacher!"

As he bowed slightly, a voice already echoed in his ears:

"Chi Wuti was killed in Qingzhou Prefecture. You are his teacher, so you must go there."

As the voice echoed, a light seemed to appear in the dimness before him, and golden lights intertwined as soon as they appeared.

Before the voice finished, it had outlined the appearance of a handsome young man in white Daoist robes.

"Yes!"

The thin monk slowly stood up, his face solemn as he responded.

"There may be turbulence in this journey to Dafeng, whether you succeed or not, you must return within half a year!"

As the golden lights dissipated, the gentle voice also returned to silence.

"I accept the decree!"

The thin monk put his hands together and slowly rose.

As his voice drifted away, he had already disappeared into the darkness.

........

Golden light breaks the dawn!

As three great suns rose together in the eastern sky, the night receded completely, and light returned to the world.

Qingzhou Prefecture, which had been silent all night, gradually began to rise with wisps of smoke.

The residents near the Kelai Inn, some got up early. Although they dared not come out because of last night's shock, they were still curious.

When they came out and saw the long street that had almost been reduced to ruins, many people clicked their tongues secretly.

Some guessed that martial arts experts had competed here, while others insisted that they had heard thunder rolling last night, and that heavenly thunder must have struck to sweep away the plague.

An Qisheng didn't know about the discussions of the common people.

Outside Qingzhou Prefecture City, a red horse neighed and ran freely on the official road, even with two large bags hanging on its body, it did not affect its speed at all.

In the dust kicked up like mist, Bai Xian'er waved her sleeves, a bag on her back, and followed the red horse with light steps, her face covered in dust.

"Damn beast..."

Bai Xian'er gritted her teeth in her heart.

That red horse was too cheap, it was clearly deliberately raising dust, just because she put a bag on you?

It wasn't like I wanted to put it on you!

"Hee-律律~"

After running for dozens of miles, the red horse stopped in a sparsely populated wilderness.

Bai Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief, shook her true energy, and shook off the dust on her body.

"Follow me."

An Qisheng didn't even look at her, and walked straight to a gathering place not far away where wisps of smoke were rising.

Bai Xian'er's eyes flickered. As she walked here, she could already smell the stench left after burning corpses.

It was nauseating.

Here, were many of those poisoned in Qingzhou were isolated and burned.

An Qisheng walked forward.

His senses were a hundred times sharper than Bai Xian'er's. He could smell the stench of burning corpses more clearly, and he could even feel waves of deep despair and mental fluctuations.

Living in the world, people always leave many traces.

Even if the physical body dies, the traces left behind will not disappear quickly.

He entered the dreams of others, and collected these traces.

"This poison..."

An Qisheng's eyes turned cold.

Ordinary martial artists, possessing internal force, are already extremely resistant to illness. Some things that are highly poisonous to ordinary people are useless to ordinary martial artists.

After achieving great success in blood exchange, one is immune to most poisons, plagues, and diseases.

And the poison in this Qingzhou is a strange poison from the Golden Wolf Kingdom that can poison Xiantian martial artists. Even if only a drop is dripped into the water source, it is enough to make some ordinary people with weak physiques become infected with a plague.

"Isolation area, no entry or exit allowed!"

The two did not hide their whereabouts, and were stopped four or five zhang away from the gathering place.

"We are doctors from Nanyan Prefecture. We heard that there is an epidemic in Qingzhou, so we came to see if we could help. These are the medicinal materials we brought..."

An Qisheng smiled slightly and explained.

He was in excellent condition at this time, and his demeanor was extraordinary. In addition, his mental power was strong, and his words were very persuasive.

Unconsciously, people believed and trusted him.

"Treating illnesses?"

The people who blocked the way looked at each other.

But looking at An Qisheng's face and demeanor, after hesitating slightly, they warned the two of them a few words and let them enter the gathering place.

The so-called gathering place was just an open-air camp surrounded by wooden fences, with very few places to shelter from the wind and rain.

These people were stationed here not because they were afraid that people would accidentally enter, but because they were afraid that these people would come out.

In their opinion, the role of the gathering place was not to treat these people.

But to make it easier to burn them later.

In fact, they would not even approach this gathering place within three zhang.

Whoosh!

The moment the two walked into the gathering place, accompanied by the stench of feces and urine, despairing, wooden, and dull eyes fell on them.

Hundreds of thousands of poisoned people, who looked like walking corpses, looked over in unison.

Those eyes containing countless negative emotions made Bai Xian'er's face turn slightly pale, and she subconsciously turned her head away.

But then, her neck stiffened, and under the influence of an invisible force, she turned back again.

"Take a closer look at these people..."

An Qisheng picked up the bag on Bai Xian'er's back and walked into the dirty and smelly camp:

"How are they any different from you?"

Bai Xian'er was stunned, scanning the lifeless faces.

Suddenly, a dirty figure lunged at An Qisheng.

To her surprise, she thought An Qisheng would push him away, but she did not expect An Qisheng to bend down and hug the dirty figure in his arms.

The spotless white robe was instantly stained, and the stinking black water spread on the white Daoist robe.

"You, you are a doctor? You, will you save us?"

The child in An Qisheng's arms was so dirty that he could not see his original face.

"It's really simple and crude..."

An Qisheng sighed in his heart.

In a society with such low action, organization, and poor medical conditions, isolation and burning are naturally the simplest methods compared to treating them one by one.

In fact, in the history of Jiu Fu Realm, there have been examples of cities being sealed off or even burned to the ground during major plagues.

This is why these isolated people are like walking corpses.

Because they don't think they can live at all, and they don't think anyone can save them.

"Naturally, I can save you."

An Qisheng smiled slightly.

Then he looked at the patients nearby whose eyes were glowing with color and hummed softly.

Boom!

A cold hum was like thunder sweeping across.

All the patients in the entire camp were stunned. Those who were about to move after hearing An Qisheng's words were also frozen in place, unable to move.

Ordinary people's fear of martial arts people is no less than that of the plague.

Getting the plague may not necessarily lead to death, but offending a martial arts person means there is no chance of survival.

After intimidating many patients, An Qisheng put down the child in his arms.

He opened the bag, took out the prepared herbs, and then reached out to grab the child's arm.

The poison of Tianlang powder is extremely toxic. Even if it is diluted by a million times, it cannot be cured by some ordinary herbs. It also needs to be combined with true energy to be cured.

"Uncle!"

The child, who did not want to be grabbed by the arm, suddenly struggled:

"First, first save my mother!"

An Qisheng glanced at the woman in the corner with pustules on her face that had almost disfigured her, and nodded slightly:

"Okay."

"He, he..."

Looking at An Qisheng walking through the gathering place, detoxifying patients one by one, Bai Xian'er was stunned and speechless for a long time.

What does this have to do with you?

When An Qisheng returned to get the medicine, she couldn't help but ask:

"The Six Doors are still wanted you, and the imperial court can't wait to kill you. What's the benefit of doing this? Who will care?"

An Qisheng picked up the bag of medicinal materials and looked at the crowd who were regaining their vitality and began to automatically clean up the dirt and tidy up the open space as people were cured:

"Mostly, they care."

An Qisheng never thought he was a good person, but the values of his two lifetimes made him unable to not do these things that were just easy for him to do.

Having lingered on the edge of life and death and suffered for more than a year, he understood this kind of despair too well.

He had a lucky encounter, saw the dawn, and was able to get rid of the crisis of life and death. What harm was there in giving others a lucky encounter and a ray of dawn?

After saying that, An Qisheng ignored Bai Xian'er and walked into the crowd.

Detoxifying and curing diseases is not so easy. A body that has been invaded by poison for many days cannot be cured simply by detoxifying. It is also necessary to check their bodies, internal organs, and many organs inch by inch, and eliminate and cure them one by one...

During this process, his understanding of the human body became more and more profound. Later, as long as he touched someone's wrist, a structural diagram of his entire body would vividly appear in his mind.

From sunrise to sunset, from nightfall to dawn again...

One day passed.

The second day passed.

The third day, the fourth day...

Until the early morning of the seventh day, An Qisheng's body swayed.

The consumption of a large amount of true energy and mental power had made him look a little tired at this time, but his eyes became brighter and more profound.

Until the last patient's face regained its blood color, and the entire gathering place burst into cheers that had been suppressed for a long time.

A light suddenly appeared in his heart, and he seemed to hear Mr. Yangming explaining the inheritance of mental science to him again.

"The way of sincerity..."

Under the blessing of his mind, An Qisheng's spirit suddenly emptied.

In a trance, he seemed to see in his body,

A deep,

Vast,

Boundless starry sky!
