Chapter 50 Hua Baifeng's Paradise
Chapter 50 Hua Baifeng's Paradise
The Tianshan Snow Toad is a treasure of the martial arts world and is hailed as a holy medicine for healing injuries.
No matter what kind of poison one is poisoned by, how severe the injury, or even if one's meridians are completely shattered, as long as one can find the Tianshan snow toad as a medicinal ingredient, one can recover.
In addition, the Tianshan snow toad has another magical effect: drinking its blood will make one immune to all poisons.
Unfortunately, the Tianshan snow toad is a once-in-a-century phenomenon, and has almost become a legend.
To Gu Yu's surprise, when he found a snow valley, he discovered that two other people had already found it before him.
One look at their attire reveals them to be Tibetan Buddhist monks; their red robes stand out starkly against the vast expanse of white snow.
Fortunately, it seems the two haven't succeeded yet and are searching around.
"Um?"
The two Tibetan monks were quite surprised to see Gu Yu appear.
Clearly, they hadn't expected anyone to find their way here.
Gu Yu grinned, revealing his teeth: "Hehe, you two masters are in quite a good mood, searching for Tian Shan snow lotus here?"
He didn't know if the other person understood what he was saying.
Perhaps, they don't need to understand at all.
Because their eyes said it all.
A menacing glint!
Murderous intent!
The two slowly walked over.
"Buzzing—"
The two monks were about ten feet apart when they simultaneously raised their hands and tossed two copper cymbals toward Gu Yu with a "buzzing" sound.
Its speed may not seem fast, but its trajectory is unpredictable, and the "buzzing" sound it makes while flying has a surprising effect on disturbing the mind.
Gu Yu instinctively took two steps to the right.
Unexpectedly, the cymbal seemed to have eyes, and flew over again following the direction Gu Yu changed.
This time, Gu Yu didn't dodge. Instead, he leaped up and kicked twice with his toes, sending the two cymbals flying back as fast as shooting stars.
This action greatly surprised the two Tibetan monks.
The cymbal looked slow, but it was actually fast and incredibly powerful, with extremely sharp edges. This kid actually kicked it back with his foot.
Seeing the cymbals coming at them with incredible speed, the two dared not try to catch them with their hands.
Having barely managed to dodge, and before he could even retrieve his weapon, Gu Yu had already charged at him.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two consecutive sounds.
One punch killed one person.
One kick sent one flying.
As the monk who had been kicked away tumbled, a small booklet fell from his robes onto the snow.
Out of curiosity, Gu Yu picked it up and found it to be a secret manual of Tantric Buddhism for cultivating blissful meditation.
He recognized it because the booklet was written in both Sanskrit and Chinese characters, and each page was accompanied by illustrations, which sparked his imagination.
"Such dross must be severely criticized!"
Gu Yu muttered to himself and put the booklet away.
[Kill two disciples of the Western Regions Vajra Sect, gain 160 Destiny Points]
[Obtained the secret method of Tantric Blissful Meditation, gained 200 Destiny Points]
Another unexpected gain.
Next, after a meticulous search, Gu Yu finally found the legendary Tianshan Snow Toad.
It looks almost exactly like a toad, except that it is entirely white and lustrous, as if it were carved from mutton fat jade.
It lay prone in the snow, its body blending into the snow, and if it weren't for the two scarlet dots around its eyes, it would be hard to spot.
Gu Yu walked over cautiously.
Unexpectedly, the Tianshan snow toad was exceptionally alert. With a "croak," it kicked off with its powerful hind legs, propelling its small body several feet into the air, and in the blink of an eye, it was already more than ten feet away.
Even an ordinary martial arts practitioner wouldn't be able to catch it.
Even Gu Yu had to put in a lot of effort to finally catch it.
The Tianshan snow toad itself is non-toxic. It is said that it feeds on various medicinal herbs, especially the Tianshan snow lotus, so it is a treasure from head to toe.
[Successfully captured the rare spirit creature, the Tianshan Snow Toad, and gained 600 Destiny Points]
"It smells so good!"
A short while later, Gu Yu patted his belly with satisfaction, turned around, and strode away.
A cool sensation permeated his body, flowing along his meridians into his dantian, where it transformed into true qi, making Gu Yu feel even more refreshed and light on his feet.
Finally, following the clues given to him by Hua Baifeng, Gu Yu found a small market town near Tianchi.
After strolling around the town, I left and headed southeast.
After traveling about four or five miles, we came to see a small village.
Gu Yu's eyes suddenly became eager, and he quickened his pace, walking to a small courtyard at the very edge of the village.
"Knock knock knock~"
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside, but Gu Yu wasn't in a hurry and stood outside waiting silently.
After a while, the door suddenly opened, and a pretty young woman looked at him with surprise and delight.
"Third Sister!"
Gu Yu strode forward, pulled Shen San Niang into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Shen Sanniang said anxiously, "The door isn't closed yet..."
"Bang!"
The door closed again.
Gu Yu scooped Shen San Niang up in his arms, humming a little tune, and strode toward the room.
Shen San Niang chuckled.
Gu Yu sensed a hint of mockery in her smile and couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"
Shen San Niang hooked her arm around his neck and whispered in his ear, "What bad luck, someone else's period just started today..."
Gu Yu's body stiffened.
The arrow is already on the bowstring, and you're telling me that thing is coming? You're just stirring up trouble, not putting it out.
Immediately, Gu Yu's heart stirred. He looked down at Shen San Niang's alluring red lips and secretly swallowed.
Shen Sanniang seemed to sense something from his eyes, her face flushed, and she said shyly, "Don't overthink it, just bear with it for a few days..."
"Hahaha, I don't want to endure it for even a moment, let alone for several days."
Gu Yu laughed loudly and carried Shen San Niang into the house.
"You bastard..."
Shen San Niang couldn't resist in the end, and besides, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she was still very happy.
The following morning, led by Shen San Niang, Gu Yu finally arrived at Hua Bai Feng's secluded residence.
No wonder Ma Kongqun couldn't find her; this place is too hidden, and it would be very difficult to find without someone leading the way.
This is a small valley surrounded by mountains, resembling a paradise on earth. Looking up, one can see the snow-capped peaks, yet the valley itself is warm as spring, filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs.
On the south side of the valley, there are several simple wooden houses, which is where Hua Baifeng and Fu Hongxue live.
"Young Master Gu, what brings you to the border region all of a sudden?"
Upon meeting, Hua Baifeng was somewhat surprised, but also couldn't hide her delight.
Gu Yu smiled and said, "I came out of seclusion this time specifically to find you."
"what?"
Hua Baifeng was stunned for a moment, her face slowly turning red with embarrassment.
Shen San Niang, quick-witted as ever, said, "Madam, Young Hero Gu, you two continue your conversation. I'll head back now."
She didn't live inside the valley so that it would be easier for her to gather information outside and to regularly purchase and deliver daily necessities.
"Please come inside and sit down."
"Yes, thank you, Madam!"
Upon entering the house, Hua Baifeng poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table: "Try it, this tea is homemade."
Gu Yu picked up the tea and took a sniff. A refreshing and pleasant fragrance wafted over, instantly invigorating him.
I took another sip, and my mouth was filled with a refreshing aroma. In addition to the fragrance of tea, there was also a hint of floral and unique medicinal fragrance.
Gu Yu exclaimed, "Excellent tea! I've never tasted tea like this before!"
Hua Baifeng smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll make more for you later."
"Thank you so much, Madam!"
After a few casual words, Gu Yu finally got to the point.
"I have come out of seclusion this time on someone's behalf. I want to ask the lady for some information about the Demonic Sect."
"A demonic cult?"
Hua Baifeng frowned.
"I know that Madam has long since left the Demonic Sect and probably doesn't want to mention it anymore, but... I really can't refuse."
"What do you want to know?"
Gu Yu replied, "It's like this. The imperial court received a secret report stating that the Prince of Liang is colluding with the Demonic Sect and intends to rebel. This matter may seem unrelated to the martial arts world, but if war breaks out, the world will surely descend into chaos!"
"So that's how it is."
Hua Baifeng sighed.
