Chapter 1 Now

Even now, Zhu Xiao'e still didn't understand Chu Luo's feigned helplessness.

Chu Luo said he was afraid of implicating Chen Xiao; he said it on purpose.

Because he knew that if he said that, Chen Xiao would definitely not sit idly by.

In fact, even if he directly asked Chen Xiao for help, Chen Xiao would still help.

It's just that if he did that, it wouldn't be Chu Luo's style.

"Xiao'e, Director Chen is very strong. I believe with him here, he will definitely be able to help us."

Chu Luo was rarely serious.

Zhu Xiao'e shrugged her shoulders: "Whatever, if he's not afraid of death, then let him go."

"Xiao'e, when did my second uncle issue the life-or-death challenge to my father?"

Chu Luo asked.

Zhu Xiao'e counted on her fingers: "Today is already the third day."

Chu Luo was shocked when he heard this: "Doesn't that mean they will have a life-or-death challenge the day after tomorrow?"

Zhu Xiao'e nodded: "That's right, I was delayed on the road for two days."

"Why were you delayed for so long? It's not like you didn't know where I was. A plane ride would only take half a day."

Chu Luo said with a frown.

"People are afraid of flying, airplanes are different from cars. If something happens to the plane, we will definitely die… So before I learn to control my sword and fly (yujian feixing), I will never take a plane."

Zhu Xiao'e widened her eyes and said seriously.

"Then you have to break your vow today. We have to take a plane back, otherwise it will be too late!"

Chu Luo immediately booked several plane tickets to Hecheng. An hour later, the seven people, including Chen Xiao, had boarded the plane.

On the flight to Hecheng, Chu Luo told Chen Xiao everything.

Since he wanted Chen Xiao to help, he naturally wouldn't hide anything from him.

Yaowang Valley (Medicine King Valley) is located in Yaowang Mountain (Medicine King Mountain) outside Hecheng. It is a forbidden place for ordinary people. Without the consent of Yaowang Valley, ordinary people cannot enter.

Yaowang Valley is in a semi-isolated state. Outsiders cannot enter, and people in Yaowang Valley rarely go out.

The reason why Yaowang Valley is called Yaowang Valley is because there is a blessed land in the valley. The medicinal materials grown on this land are natural spiritual medicines, possessing extremely rich spiritual Qi.

Yaowang Valley also relies on this unique advantage to be in a detached state.

Only the most prominent figures are qualified to come to Yaowang Valley to seek medical treatment.

Moreover, their attitude must be humble and respectful, even towards the lowest-status servants in Yaowang Valley.

This has also caused most people in Yaowang Valley, like Zhu Xiao'e, to be very contemptuous and disdainful of the outside world.

Only Chu Luo is different because his father is the current valley master, Chu Qingbai. He has been cultivated as the future valley master since he was a child.

As the valley master, his vision and outlook must be broader than ordinary valley residents, and he must also be good at interacting with the outside world.

Therefore, Chu Luo received education in private schools in the city since he was a child. The school was boarding, and when school was on vacation, Chu Luo had to return to Yaowang Valley to learn how to grow medicinal materials and refine pills.

Of course, there were also miscellaneous skills such as medicine and talisman making. As the saying goes, it's always good to have more skills.

So, although Chu Luo is known for his medical skills in Jiangcheng Hospital, this is not actually his major skill. What he is most proud of is his pill refining technique.

After introducing Yaowang Valley and his background, Chu Luo began to talk about the grievances between his second uncle and his father.

His second uncle is named Chu Qingsong, and he is Chu Qingbai's twin brother, only three minutes younger than Chu Qingbai.

However, it was precisely because of these three minutes that it became the root of the twin brothers' feud.

Because according to the rules of Yaowang Valley, the position of valley master can only be inherited by the eldest son of the previous valley master.

So according to this rule, Chu Qingbai took the position of valley master.

This caused strong dissatisfaction from Chu Qingsong, who was an extremely arrogant and conceited person.

Chu Qingbai only became the valley master because he was born three minutes earlier than him, which he could never let go of.

Coincidentally, Yaowang Valley also has another rule, that if someone is not convinced by the current valley master, they can launch a life-or-death challenge to the valley master.

The valley master is held by the victor, and the loser, according to the rules, must pay the price of their life.

In that life-or-death challenge back then, Chu Qingbai had the last laugh.

But considering the brotherhood, he did not execute Chu Qingsong, but exiled him and demanded that he never step into Yaowang Valley for the rest of his life.

However, unexpectedly, Chu Qingsong, who was expelled from Yaowang Valley, would be blessed by misfortune and enter the Xian Yin Jie (Hidden Immortal World). Now he has returned and is seeking revenge on Chu Qingbai.

Speaking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"What exactly is this Hidden Immortal World?"

"Director Chen, you don't know about the Hidden Immortal World? You are so strong, I thought you came from the Hidden Immortal World!"

Chu Luo was slightly stunned, then he continued to explain, "The Hidden Immortal World is the world where the hidden sects are located. According to legend, it can be regarded as half a fairy world."

"Wait, are you saying that the hidden sects are not in the world we are in?"

Chen Xiao interrupted him and asked.

Chu Luo nodded: "Strictly speaking, that's right. The Hidden Immortal World and the secular world are connected through the Xian Yin Zhi Men (Gate of Hidden Immortals). As long as you pass through the Gate of Hidden Immortals, you can enter the Hidden Immortal World."

"Then where is the Gate of Hidden Immortals?"

Chen Xiao asked again.

"Director Chen, do I look like I know?"

Chu Luo spread his hands, "And even if you know where it is, it's useless. The Gate of Hidden Immortals is for the disciples of the hidden sects to use. They can enter the secular world through the Gate of Hidden Immortals, but if people from the secular world pass through the Gate of Hidden Immortals and enter the Hidden Immortal World, they will definitely be killed by people from the hidden sects!"

"Then why isn't your second uncle dead?"

Chen Xiao asked again.

"..."

Chu Luo was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed.

"This is the truly terrifying thing. My second uncle, he may have already become an official disciple of a hidden sect. If that's the case, Director Chen, don't interfere in our affairs."

Chen Xiao sneered: "What? Are you trying to play the sympathy card with me again?"

Chu Luo shook his head: "Director Chen, I'm serious this time. If my second uncle has really become an official disciple of a hidden sect, then we can only accept our fate. People in the hidden sects are like gods, and we can't afford to offend them at all."

Chen Xiao smiled faintly, noncommittal.

Because now he has a nascent soul (yuanying) of a former hidden sect disciple on him, and his strength is just so-so, not enough to reach the level of a true immortal.

Moreover, even if he was a true immortal, Chen Xiao would not be afraid!

Seeing that Chen Xiao didn't speak, Chu Luo said again with a disdainful expression: "But Director Chen, you don't have to be afraid. With my second uncle's virtues, it is impossible for him to become an official disciple of a hidden sect. I guess he's just a handyman at most..."
