Chapter 420: The Tao Without Words
When it comes to stealing things, Jiang Yun is very experienced.
Since he started practicing martial arts, he has stolen a lot of things from people, like two swords and the Flameless Puppet Lantern.
Even the Cold Dark-winged Bat and the blood wolf in front of him can be considered things he stole.
However, so far, no one has tried to steal from him.
Therefore, seeing this middle-aged man showing great interest in his blood wolf and even willing to snatch it away, made Jiang Yun unable to help but smile.
Yet, just as Jiang Yun was about to teach the man a lesson, another person rushed out from the valley.
It was a middle-aged woman, beautiful in appearance but with a worried expression, her eyes swollen as she said to the man, "Yao’er’s poison is acting up again!"
When the man heard this, his expression suddenly changed, he angrily pulled back his hand and coldly looked at Jiang Yun, saying, "You’re lucky this time. I have something to do today, hurry and take your wolf and leave!"
After saying that, the man turned to go back to the valley, but Jiang Yun quickly said, "Wait, I know a bit about medicine, maybe I can help cure your Yao’er!"
Even though the man wanted to take Jiang Yun’s blood wolf, Jiang Yun wanted to calm things down and avoid conflict with the village.
So upon hearing the woman’s words, Jiang Yun spoke up to try to lessen the hostility.
This indeed had an effect, making the man stop in his tracks, his face showing suspicion as he fell silent in thought.
The middle-aged woman, feeling like she had found a lifesaver, urgently asked Jiang Yun, "Young man, can you really cure the poison?"
Concerned about someone’s life, Jiang Yun didn’t want to be too arrogant, and sincerely said, "It depends on what kind of poison the young man has been exposed to!"
The middle-aged woman looked back at the man and said, "Let him try!"
The man gritted his teeth, stomped his foot hard, and said, "Fine, go bring Yao’er out!"
Even though he decided to let Jiang Yun see his son, he still felt suspicious of Jiang Yun and wasn’t prepared to let him enter the village.
Jiang Yun didn’t mind, he just stood at the mouth of the valley, quietly waiting, while the Blood Wolf was very interested in looking back at the more than thirty black wolves behind him, his gaze high and scrutinizing.
The black wolves didn’t dare to make eye contact with him at all, one by one obediently lying on the ground, not daring to move.
After a moment, a middle-aged woman hurriedly rushed out, holding a five or six-year-old boy in her arms, his eyes tightly closed, features contorted, and his face flushed red.
Without a word, Jiang Yun stepped directly to the side of the mother and son, and the middle-aged man took a step forward as well, emitting an aura, his gaze firmly fixed on Jiang Yun.
Clearly, if Jiang Yun made any suspicious moves, he would not hesitate to take action immediately.
But Jiang Yun completely ignored him, scanning the child’s body with divine sense, and asking, "How was he poisoned?"
After hesitating for a moment, the woman showed a hint of hatred on her face and said, "How he was poisoned, we’re not quite sure, but it must have been the people from Mu Village who poisoned him!"
"What!"
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Jiang Yun’s eyes!
This Mu village is supposed to be a regular village, but they would actually poison such a young child, it’s just too cruel!
The man suddenly glared at the woman, signaling her to stop talking, then looked at Jiang Yun and asked, "Can you undo this poison?"
Jiang Yun knew there must be a feud between Mu village and the village where the man was from, which was quite normal, just like the situation between Jiang village and Feng village in the past. As an outsider, he didn’t inquire further.
After examining it carefully several times, Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief because the poison was not very strong; it was just a simple plant poison. He nodded and said, "Undoing it is not difficult, but it requires a specially brewed antidote!"
As he finished speaking, Jiang Yun’s own life fire appeared in his hands, followed by several medicinal herbs being added one after another.
For Jiang Yun, making this simple antidote was no big deal, but his every move left the couple in shock.
Just as Jiang Yun was about to finish making the antidote in a matter of moments, the couple suddenly noticed a huge dark cloud the size of a millstone above Jiang Yun’s head, with lightning snakes dancing inside.
Unfortunately, given Jiang Yun’s skill in alchemy, making these low-level pills almost always resulted in a disaster.
Even though he was used to this kind of situation, the couple had obviously never seen it before.
"Boom!"
"Be careful!"
As a calamity thunder fell, the man hurriedly warned and even prepared to intercept the thunder.
However, at that moment, a golden thunderbolt shot out above Jiang Yun’s head, turning into a golden figure in the air, allowing the calamity thunder to merge into his body.
Jiang Yun seemed completely unaware, focusing on finishing the alchemy work.
Considering that the medicine was too bitter and difficult for children to swallow, he intentionally turned it into liquid form.
As Jiang Yun worked on the medicine, the golden figure absorbed the calamity thunder above, with no interference between the two.
This scene left the couple completely stunned!
After five consecutive calamitous thunderbolts fell, the dark clouds disappeared.
After absorbing the thunderstorms, the Thunderbolt Dao Body’s previous injuries were somewhat healed.
This made Jiang Yun consider in secret that he should make more elixirs when he was free, so that the Thunderbolt Dao Body could grow faster.
With the disappearance of the Dan Disaster, Jiang Yun finally finished refining it, filled the detoxifying liquid in a jade bottle, and handed it to the dazed woman, saying, "Morning, afternoon, and evening, give it to him three times a day to completely remove the poison in his body. Prepare some water before each intake as he will feel thirsty."
The woman took the jade bottle and did not immediately give it to the child. Instead, she looked at the man, who hesitated slightly and then nodded.
Then the woman carefully poured some liquid into the child’s mouth, and the couple nervously watched their son.
After about ten moments, the boy suddenly coughed violently, spitting out some thick black substance. The redness on his face quickly faded, his eyes slowly opened, and he exclaimed, "Mom, I want water, I’m so thirsty!"
The woman quickly took out a water pouch and fed the child a little bit.
After drinking the water, the boy immediately wriggled out of his mother’s embrace, bounced a few times in place, showing that he had already improved significantly.
This made the couple both surprised and delighted, knowing that Jiang Yun did not lie to them, and indeed lifted the poison from the child’s body.
The woman thanked Jiang Yun profusely, while the man looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "Young brother, I, uh, made a mistake just now!"
Jiang Yun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It’s okay…"
Before finishing his sentence, Jiang Yun’s smile disappeared in an instant as he suddenly turned his head and said, "Someone is coming!"
Upon hearing Jiang Yun’s words, the man’s face changed suddenly and he said, "It must be people from Mu village. They must have seen the calamity cloud just now. Hurry, young brother, follow me into the valley!"
It’s Mu village again!
Although Jiang Yun knew nothing about Mu village, finding out that they had poisoned a seven or eight-year-old child made him dislike them.
Seeing the man clearly fearful of the other side, Jiang Yun wanted to see who exactly the people of Mu village were.
However, the man didn’t give him the chance at all, directly grabbing Jiang Yun’s arm and pulling him into the formation.
As Jiang Yun stepped into the formation, a wise voice suddenly spoke from the black stone in his dantian, "The Tao Without Words, one step can lead to enlightenment!"
