Chapter 1943, Part 1.1942: The Mingyu Skill
At first glance, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is the embodiment of the Hundred Treasures Chest. It stands out prominently in the brothel.
In other words, Du Shiniang's treasure chest was refined into a magical artifact by her. As for whether it was her natal magical artifact, that remains to be seen.
It seems quite reasonable that there is a figure in the world of mural painting who is similar to the all-knowing martial arts master.
"Ladies, what brings you here?" The maid who greeted them at the door was none other than "Ten Taels (Zhao Xuefei)," the maid whom Du Shiniang had bought for ten taels of silver at the Wan Hua Lou.
"I'd like a martial arts manual," Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, stepped forward to answer.
Seeing that she looked exactly like Du Shiniang, the maid Shiliang was not surprised but delighted: "Since it is what the princess asks for, this servant will do her best."
"Interesting." Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, also noticed the unusual atmosphere.
Introduced by the maid Shi Liang, the group entered the inner room to meet Du Shiniang, the female manager of "Martial Arts Treasures Pavilion".
"Past lives and present lives seem like yesterday." Upon meeting Princess Li Huixin, the strategist, Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, couldn't help but exclaim, "Does the princess know who I am?"
“It is another version of me,” Princess’s strategist, Li Huixin, said carefully.
“Exactly.” Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, nodded with delight: “The Three Realms and Four Continents, the Six Paths of Reincarnation. My past life and your future life are both within this cycle. Unless one attains immortality and transcends the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements.”
"However, looking throughout the martial arts world, those who have attained enlightenment are extremely rare," Princess's strategist Li Huixin said, echoing her words.
"Indeed." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, wholeheartedly agreed: "What does the princess seek in return?"
"I request the 'Mingyu Gong' and 'Yihua Jieyu'." Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, stated her purpose: "And the miraculous elixirs that can help you achieve rapid success."
"The Mingyu Gong and Yihua Jieyu can be used with the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Great and Small Rejuvenating Pills, and the Returning to Origin Pill." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, said with great familiarity: "These are unique copies of the book, impossible to copy or reproduce."
"What is the price?" Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, inquired.
"The 'Mingyu Gong' requires one Golden Elixir, and the 'Yihua Jieyu' requires ten Inner Elixirs." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, quoted a hefty price: "If you could obtain a unique copy, I would gladly offer you the elixirs."
“‘You only realize how little you know when you need to use it, and you only know how difficult something is after you’ve experienced it.’ The Mingyu Gong actually requires a golden elixir.” Elder Gu Xianniang sighed.
As for the reason why the *Mingyu Gong* and *Yihua Jieyu* are unique, priceless copies, impossible to copy or reproduce, it's not hard to guess. The manuals must contain hidden secrets. Simply put, they have anti-piracy measures. Anyone attempting to copy or reproduce them will be destroyed and killed. Similar mechanisms are common in the martial arts world. Furthermore, how to remove the restrictions is a closely guarded secret passed down orally among the sect leaders. Only the next sect leader can practice them.
As for miraculous elixirs such as the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Greater and Lesser Rejuvenation Pills, and the Returning to Origin Pill, they can ultimately be refined. Therefore, their price is far less than that of unparalleled martial arts techniques.
For example, both the Lesser and Greater Rejuvenating Pills originated from Shaolin. The Lesser Rejuvenating Pill is emerald green in color. After depleting one's true energy, taking this medicine will cause heat to rise in the dantian and energy to permeate, which can help restore one's strength. Martial arts practitioners dream of obtaining it.
The Great Rejuvenation Pill can not only bring the dead back to life, but also heal all internal and external injuries and increase martial arts power. Even the sect leader can only use one pill in his lifetime, and apart from the sect leader, no one in Shaolin Temple knows where the pill is stored.
As for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it is recorded in the "Marrow Cleansing Classic," the supreme martial art of Wulong Temple, in "Invincible Fighting Star." The Origin-Returning Pill is recorded in the "Origin-Returning Secret Manual," the supreme martial arts manual in "New Crane Divine Needle." Although the ingredients for both are hard to find, in the end, hard work pays off.
In short, as long as you purchase the "Mingyu Gong" and "Yihua Jieyu", you will be offered miraculous medicines.
However, the problem lies in the rarity of golden elixirs. Consider this: both golden elixirs were crafted by Wu Chen. The Primordial Golden Elixir was refined by the great demon Primordial Demon King. The Formless Golden Elixir was refined by the unique Imperial Crown Night-Shining Pearl. One represents the Demon King's life's cultivation, the other a supreme treasure containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Refining another one now is virtually impossible. "If there are no golden elixirs, what should we do?" Only she knew her own predicament. Princess Li Huixin, the strategist, decided to seek another path.
“In that case, you can grant me three requests.” Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, indeed had a backup plan.
"The difficulty of these three matters is greater than climbing to heaven." Princess's strategist, Li Huixin, had already foreseen that the selection process would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.
"As the saying goes, 'What is difficult for those who know how is difficult for those who don't.'" Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, succinctly put it.
"If you agree to these three things, there may be a time limit," Wu Chen asked telepathically through Princess Li Huixin, the strategist.
"There is no deadline. However, your wish can only be fulfilled if the three conditions are met," Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, told the truth.
“A word once spoken.” Wu Chen, relying on Princess Li Huixin’s strategist, made a decisive decision.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, was also overjoyed.
The two parties finalized the agreement. Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, immediately released the first challenge.
She muttered incantations and pointed. A drawer on the wall of the treasure pavilion flew out on its own and landed in front of the group.
"This is..." Princess's strategist Li Huixin was also greatly surprised when she saw what was inside the drawer.
Inside a small, square drawer filled with treasures, a beautiful woman made of ice crystals is quietly displayed. This beauty, sealed within a single piece of ice crystal that has never melted in millennia, is also an alternate entity, just like Princess Li Huixin, the strategist.
"Who is she?" Princess's strategist Li Huixin would surely ask this question.
"Cheng Lingsu, the successor of the Medicine King," Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, revealed her identity.
Cheng Lingsu is one of the two main female characters in *The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain*. She is the last disciple of the renowned martial arts master Wu Chen, known as the "Poisonous Hand Medicine King," and her name comes from the medical classics *Ling Shu* and *Su Wen*. Cheng Lingsu inherited the Poisonous Hand Medicine King's posthumous work, *The Divine Treatise of the Medicine King*, and successfully cultivated the most poisonous Seven-Heart Begonia in the world. She is intelligent, resourceful, and possesses uncanny foresight. In the end, to save Hu Fei, she sacrifices herself, sucking out the poison for him and dying. Even in her dying moments, she plots to use the Seven-Heart Begonia candles to kill the traitors within her sect.
It is said that one elixir cleanses the marrow, one elixir gathers qi, one elixir builds the foundation, and one elixir ascends to immortality. A quick calculation suggests that four elixirs are sufficient to elevate a mortal to the pinnacle of martial arts. As for the three rare treasures—the "Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom" with its life-saving properties, and the "Heavenly Snow Lotus," a holy antidote that can cure all poisons and greatly enhance martial arts prowess—these two extraordinary herbs seem to be easily within Du Shiniang's grasp, given her vast treasure chest.
Yes, according to the original plot of "The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain", the combination of the Jade Silkworm Poison, the Crane's Crest Red, and the Peacock Gallbladder, three extremely rare poisons, is colorless and odorless, and there is no antidote.
"Whether it works or not, only a trial will tell." Du Shiniang, the manager of Baibaoge, said with regret, "Neither 'Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom' nor 'Heavenly Snow Lotus' could bring Cheng Lingsu back to life. It is said, 'Do your best and leave the rest to fate.' If one could defy fate, perhaps she could be saved. However, who can defy fate?"
Yes. Wu Chen pointed with his skull.
Such as miraculous medicines, things that are beyond human capabilities, can only be achieved by the gods.
Indeed, Wu Chen is the real deal, the undisputed "Shu'er of the present world," the "Space God who is one with dragon and snake."
Even if given just a tiny bit of space, he can maneuver and defy fate.
