Chapter 857
It was unexpected for Tang Xiu to see Wang Rui still alive . He sighed inwardly as he observed his pain through his spiritual sense before he walked out from the corner by the ladder . He knew of the tragedy that befell Qingcheng Monastery and previously thought that he could save the remaining members of the school . However, he got poisoned and heavily injured, leading to nearly half of the remaining dozens of Qingcheng Monastery's people getting murdered .
"Who is it?"
Except for Wang Rui, nine out of the ten people inside the dungeon spotted Tang Xiu and shouted loudly .
"You don't need to be nervous as I don't have any evil intentions towards you all . " Tang Xiu shook his head and sighed, "It was rather unfortunate that Dao Master Poison ambushed me with his poison, else I could have guaranteed the protection of the remaining members of your Qingcheng school . "
"It's you?"
When Wang Feng saw Tang Xiu, he looked pleasantly surprised and ran to Tang Xiu under the watchful eyes of everyone else . He knelt and kowtowed a few times before getting up, then gratefully said, "I didn't expect you to be alive . That night, the remaining members would've definitely died if it weren't for your actions in rescue . I'm Wang Feng of the Qingcheng school, and you're my savior . "
Tang Xiu patted his shoulder and then came to Wang Rui to speak to him helplessly, "The dead can't be resurrected after death, so restrain your grief and move according to the inevitable . You helped Viviani in the South China Sea, so I'll help you kill Dao Master Poison in return for the favor . "
Wang Rui didn't expect that he would see Tang Xiu here, nor did he think that the person who helped them in Qingcheng Monastery that night was Tang Xiu . Nevertheless, there was a look of hatred in his eyes when he turned around and asked, "You mean… the man who killed my father and destroyed my Qingcheng school is called Dao Master Poison?"
"The ones who ruined your Qingcheng Monastery were the disciples of Dao Master Poison, but the one who is currently hunting down and killing the rest of your school's members is Dao Master Poison," said Tang Xiu . "Your father wasn't killed that night; he should have been found and killed by Dao Master Poison later on . Put away that hatred, Wang Rui! I'll help you get revenge in this blood feud . "
Wang Rui was silent for a long while before slowly asking, "Is this Dao Master Poison really that powerful?"
"He's able to fly and is impervious to attacks, so powerful beyond what average people can imagine," said Tang Xiu . "Even if you add up all the members of your Qingcheng school, it won't be enough against him; he can just swat you away with his palm . "
Slump…
Wang Rui knelt in front of Tang Xiu and enunciated harshly as he said, "Tang Xiu, I know I can never take revenge in this blood feud with my ability, but I hope that you take me with you when you kill Dao Master Poison… I… I want to witness his death with my own eyes . "
Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment before he nodded and replied, "I can promise you that, but what do you want to do next? If you were to exit now, once Dao Master Poison finds you, you probably won't be able to escape and will die . "
"Are you still unable to beat Dao Master Poison currently, Senior?" asked Wang Feng .
"Maybe I can kill him in a real fight using swords and fists, but the reason why he's called Dao Master Poison is that he's an expert in poison and excels in mysterious poisoning methods which are unpredictable even to myself . I don't know about the poison he uses, which is the reason he got me easily . " Tang Xiu shook his head and continued, "For example, what happened that night . I wouldn't have had any problems in keeping my words to shelter the remaining members of your Qingcheng school and would possibly be able to kill him had I not gotten poisoned first . "
"Then what should we do now?" asked Wang Feng bitterly .
"Don't worry about that . I've sent my men to find medicinal herbs . As long as the herbs I need can be found, I can refine the Poison Repellent Pill . As long as I take this pill in advance, even if it can't keep all types of poisons away, common potent poisons will be unlikely to have an effect on me . "
"If so, what kind of herbs do you need, Senior?" asked Wang Feng quickly . "Our Qingcheng Monastery has stored a lot of medicinal herbs in our underground vault . Maybe it has what you need . "
Tang Xiu's expression changed and he quickly told him the herbs he needed . The fact is that the Qingcheng Monastery located deep in the Qingcheng Mountain didn't cross his mind previously . They had a unique advantage in gathering herbs, and it wasn't surprising that they would've stored a large number of precious herbs .
"Please come with us, Senior!" said Wang Feng . "We'll go to the underground vault nearby . I know that several types of herbs that you just mentioned are stored inside . "
"Let's . " Tang Xiu didn't want to delay anymore either and straightly left the dungeon with them .
The underground vault of Qingcheng Monastery was located in a high-rise courtyard in the Northeast corner . It was a treasure vault of the monastery in the past and also a forbidden place for most people . But now, the Qingcheng school had fallen into distress and had suffered great losses, so the custom of the past had lost its bind .
At the underground vault .
Apart from the spacious empty hall under the stairs, there were six storehouses on both sides of the inner corridor that stored some precious treasures belonging to Qingcheng Monastery . The precious herbs, however, were stored in the outermost two storehouses . Tang Xiu entered the first room of the opened storehouses and saw three rows of cabinets filled with precious herbs . There were hundreds of types of them . Tang Xiu glanced over and saw that there were more than ten of the 500-year-old wild ginseng here .
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu found some of the herbs he needed . But he had probed all the herbs stored inside the two storehouses and found that he was still lacking two herbs: the Wild-goose Pond Reed and the Arcane Mugwort Flower .
Wang Rui walked next to Tang Xiu also knew that they hadn't yet found two types of herb . He spoke out, "We've never heard the names of these two herbs, the Wild-goose Pond Reed and Arcane Mugwort Flower . Can you draw their pictures to make it easier for us to find them?"
"No problem . " Tang Xiu took out a paper and pen, and quickly drew the two herbs .
