How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 146 White Turtle

"Uncle Three was briefing the situation..."

His brother went to Kongque valley today and as soon as he entered the mouth of the valley, he tumbled down the slope...

"Take off his clothes," Yixiang instructed.

The clothes were swiftly removed.

The man’s injuries were shocking to the eye.

His leg was swollen like a bucket, his skin shiny, and his waist also swelled, as if there was a pool of pus inside, tightly sealed by a large bag and it seemed to be rapidly expanding.

Lin Xiaosu’s heart trembled; he had never seen such injuries, or to be precise, this should not be called an injury, but poison.

A very strange and ferocious poison.

How to treat it?

If he were to treat it, he could probably only try using Rejuvenation True Qi.

What about her? How would she treat it?

Yixiang shouted loudly: "Little Wu!"

As her shout echoed through the yard, Lin Xiaosu saw through the crack of the door a White Turtle slowly crawling outside.

The turtle was the size of a bowl mouth, pure white, and very peculiar.

"Little Wu, hurry up!" Yixiang said.

As her voice reached, the snow-white turtle suddenly started running, and its speed was unbelievably fast.

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat...

Have you ever seen a turtle run faster than a dog?

In the race between the tortoise and the hare, if this turtle were to compete, even if the hare did not rest, I’m afraid the turtle would still win...

In just an instant, the turtle arrived at the scene.

The next moment, it leaped onto the stretcher.

Yes, leaped!

Then, it stretched out its head and bit onto Uncle Two’s nose.

Something miraculous happened.

The black qi on Uncle Two’s body streamed up along his skin in strands, and the color of the snow-white turtle slowly deepened; it bit onto Uncle Two’s nose and seemed to suck all the poison from his body into its own...

Seeing this strange sight, the men in the Miao Village rejoiced.

As for Lin Xiaosu, the shock in his heart was indescribable in words.

In his Sea of Consciousness emerged the introduction of creatures from another world...

No, not one kind, but two...

A snow-white kitten, a snow-white turtle.

The innate Skill contained within the bloodline of cats, this kitten had not learned, but it was proficient in skills that cats should not have.

The inherent slowness of turtles, this turtle had defied; a skill impossible for turtles to have, it mastered.

This...

Uncle Two on the stretcher suddenly twisted violently...

"Hold him down, don’t let him move! His bones are injured and must not be moved..." Yixiang yelled.

Three or four men reached out together, controlling Uncle Two.

But with more people, hands became cluttered, and Uncle Two suddenly twisted fiercely, flipping the stool underneath him, and he was about to fall off the stretcher; if he fell, displacement of the broken bones would be troublesome.

At that moment, a hand swiftly traversed through the air and firmly caught the stretcher.

Another hand pressed down from above, holding Uncle Two’s shoulder.

Yixiang’s gaze lifted and saw a person she had just become acquainted with, Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu had taken action and controlled Uncle Two.

He stared at the mouth of the White Turtle, his face also quite unsettled.

Because the scene was a bit too eerie.

Others might only see a stream of black qi flowing from Uncle Two’s nostrils into the turtle’s mouth, but he could see that this black stream was not qi at all; it was clearly countless tiny black insects, extremely small.

This was the poison in Uncle Two.

A swarm of tiny insects had entered his body.

This was Yixiang’s unique method of poison treatment, with no need for needles or medicine, directly letting the little turtle take charge, biting someone’s nose and sucking out these Poisonous Insects.

Uncle Two’s body visibly deflated from the swelling.

The turtle’s color visibly shifted from snow-white to pitch-black.

A middle-aged woman tightly grabbed Yixiang’s hand, staring fixedly at the person on the stretcher...

Finally, Yixiang smiled: "It’s all right now!" freewёbnoνel.com

As her words fell, the turtle let go, rolled off the stretcher, hit the ground, and wobbled back to the yard, returning like a dog that was now acting as if it were drunk...

The scene was somewhat comical but also mysteriously eerie.

Yixiang opened the medicine basket she carried, which contained freshly picked herbs, some with tiny yellow flowers, some with tiny red flowers, and a few twisted like snakes; Lin Xiaosu did not recognize any of them.

Several herbs were taken out, along with a wooden box. Yixiang placed the washed herbs into the wooden box, pounded them with a pestle into a mush, and applied it to the rib area of Uncle Two, whose eyes then opened.

"What... What happened to me?" Uncle Two looked around, momentarily unable to distinguish north from south.

"You were poisoned and injured; the Saint Lady saved you!" The middle-aged woman suddenly knelt down: "Thank you, Saint Lady, my family now owes you two lives."

"Second Aunt, don’t be like this. I’ve said it so many times; I am still the Yixiang everyone saw growing up, not the Saint Lady!" Yixiang quickly helped her up.

Uncle Two’s poison was completely cured.

But the broken ribs from the fall would need time to fully heal; he would have to rest in bed for a while.

However, he would eventually recover.

A few men carefully lifted Uncle Two and took him home.

Yixiang leaned on the door to see them off.

Everyone had walked far away, and her gaze shifted to Lin Xiaosu: "Thank you for just now."

She was referring to when Lin Xiaosu took action, steadying Uncle Two and preventing the injury from worsening.

Lin Xiaosu smiled lightly: "No need to thank me for such a small effort."

"Did you say you came here as a tourist?"

"Yes, to experience the charm of a Miao Village!" Lin Xiaosu said: "I’m at your doorstep now, won’t you welcome me inside to sit for a while?"

Yixiang raised her gaze, glanced around, and hesitated slightly: "Come in then!"

Lin Xiaosu paid sensitive attention to that look.

If he could place a bet, he would bet she was looking for her Mother.

He just got another piece of advice from a tea-picking village girl...

Yes, since entering Miaojiang, he has indeed received quite a few pieces of advice.

They all seem well-intentioned...

This village girl advised him that it’s best not to enter Yixiang’s courtyard.

Because her Mother hates the Han people the most, and there is a risk of getting one’s legs broken if Han people enter the courtyard.

But oddly enough, Lin Xiaosu is just too stubborn to listen to advice.

He has contravened almost every piece of kindly meant advice.

This courtyard, at first glance, doesn’t seem anything special, but as soon as one steps in, one can feel that it is extraordinary.

What he smelled was a strange fragrance.

It wasn’t the scent of flowers, cosmetics, or any maiden’s fragrance, but rather a scent that came from wood.

Which wood was it?

It was everywhere.

The doors were made of wood, the house was made of wood, there was a grape trellis in the courtyard, underneath which there was a table with a few chairs looking quite plain to the common eye.

However, Lin Xiaosu’s vision was anything but ordinary; he noticed two things. First, a sense of antiquity - if he wasn’t wrong, this old house and all these wooden items emitting the fragrance should all be more than a hundred years old. Second? The wood material was very special, even after a century, there were no signs of insects nesting or rodents chewing, and it could still continuously emit fragrance.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed something even more inconceivable.

That was, there were no mosquitoes or ants in this courtyard. Under the vision of Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, he clearly saw several mosquitoes taking a turn ten meters away, not entering the courtyard even half a step.

It’s summer at this moment, where aren’t there mosquitoes in the mountains?

Yet there are none in this courtyard!

Is this the craft of a generation’s Witch God?

Poisonous insects and fierce beasts in the mountains, merely his servants, when needed, more convenient to use than anyone else; when not wanted, these servants retreat far away?

The door creaked lightly as Yixiang emerged with a pot of tea.

The sunlight filtered through the big tree above, casting shadows on her face, which was a visage of infinite beauty.

Yixiang seemed to have concentrated the essence of women both inside and outside the mountains.

Her skin, delicate enough to blow apart with a puff.

Yet, her face carried the natural blush only found in mountain wild village girls.

Two touches of rosy glow on her pale and tender cheeks, what’s that called? Unrivaled beauty.

Her lips, bright red and plump.

Her eyebrows, light as distant mountains.

Her entire being, like a delicate Camellia quietly blooming among the mountains, especially the kind just touched by dew...

"Brother, this is tea from the mountains, home-roasted, it’s not pretty to look at." Yixiang smiled gently.

"You roasted it yourself?"

"Hmm!"

She sat down, tilted the teapot, and the green tea poured out.

If Blue Demon were here right now, he would probably immediately remind him not to drink the tea.

This place is home to Gu Miao.

The most mysterious and terrifying thing about Gu Miao is the casting of love potions.

Here, drinking tea is almost taboo.

Especially when facing the direct descendant of a former Witch God...

However, Lin Xiaosu directly picked up the teacup and took a big sip: "Good tea!"

Yixiang smiled gently: "Have you ever heard of the legends of the Miao people?"

"I’ve heard quite a few!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Some say, once in the Miao Village, never drink tea, never eat."

"Yet you drank the tea."

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Those people are afraid of being poisoned with love poison, but am I scared? If such a beautiful woman like you has that intention, I couldn’t ask for more."

Yixiang chuckled, her Miao Mu sparkling: "Brother, you don’t seem like a good man..."

And don’t mention it, with just a joke, the atmosphere lightened up a bit.

Lin Xiaosu pointed to the big tree: "What tree is this?"

"Got scared, didn’t you?" Yixiang said.

"Got really scared at first, glancing over and the entire tree is covered with snakes..."

"This tree is called the ’Snake Tree’, it naturally grows by entering snake bodies, absorbing the nutrition from the snake and bursting through the skin..."

"Cordyceps?"

"A similar principle..." Yixiang explained...

This tree was transplanted here from deep in the mountains by her father years ago.

Why plant such a scary tree in the courtyard?

Because the tree is very useful.

When it blooms, the scent it emits attracts snakes in the vicinity. Come blooming season, it indeed becomes a tree full of snakes.

The venom of poisonous snakes combines with the flowers, and the resulting fruit has detoxifying properties.

Fruits formed from a certain type of snake’s venom can counter that specific snake’s poison.

With this tree, the entirety of Miaojiang need not worry about snakebites.

Lin Xiaosu gently stroked the table in front of him: "The wood used for this table also isn’t ordinary, right? I can’t see any signs of insects staying in it."

Yixiang smiled: "These tables and chairs are even older, according to my father they were handed down from our ancestors, the wood used is now extinct, it’s called ’sparrow spirit’, it’s biggest use is insect prevention, just one table placed here will keep mosquitoes out."

Lin Xiaosu was astounded: "Magical wood that’s now extinct, and also ancestral belongings, it’s not quite appropriate for me to be here... how about we go and sit in that bamboo house instead, it’s at least new."

He pointed to the bamboo house in front.

This bamboo house, it’s new, all the bamboo is still fresh and green.
