Chapter 461: Pyro
There are not too many coincidences in the world. At least it was destined that Wang Zhineng happened to meet Chu Yi and the others.
"Boy, what's your name?"
Chu Yi was not very interested in Wang Zhi, and the same was true for the elves, but there was one person present who was very interested in him.
"My name is Wang Zhi, and I'm from Lingquan Town!"
"Who asked where you are from? I may know that there is only one Lingquan Town in this Immortal Valley."
As Huoxuzi spoke, he frowned and looked at Wang Zhi. It was strange to say, Wang Zhi had seen cultivators with even weirder tempers and more arrogant attitudes before, but for some reason, only in front of Huoxuzi did he feel an indescribable restraint.
"Brother Chu Yi, who is he?"
Looking at Wang Zhi, who was like a quail, lowering his head and answering questions with Huoxuzi, Shaoyao tugged at the corner of Chu Yi's clothes, came over and asked curiously.
"Peony will know later."
Chu Yi chose to keep it a secret. Wang Zhi acted like a quail in front of Huo Xuzi, but there was actually nothing wrong with him.
"You're carrying a medicine basket. What kind of herbs are you going to collect and what kind of elixir do you want to make?"
Huoxuzi's questions came one after another. After all, he couldn't let Chu Yi and the others wait too long, but this also brought huge pressure to Wang Zhi.
Are the questions asked by this senior whom I am meeting for the first time too many?
"Replying to Senior, I plan to pick some cold sandalwood grass, not for refining pills, and I don't know how to make pills."
But Wang Zhi still chose to answer honestly. He himself couldn't figure out why his confidence unconsciously weakened by seven points in front of Huo Xuzi.
"What? You don't know how to make an elixir?!"
But who would have thought that this could not be said. When Huoxuzi heard that Wang Zhi could not make pills, his eyes immediately widened like copper bells and he let out a loud roar, scaring Wang Zhi so much that he trembled!
Even Elder Fu Fu and the little kids who were watching the show on the side cast curious glances.
"What are your father and grandfather's names? Why didn't Huoyun teach you to make pills? What is the use of picking cold sandalwood grass?"
Huoxuzi asked Wang Zhi three soul-searching questions all at once. His angry expression of disappointment in his friend frightened Wang Zhi so much that he was at a loss as to what to do.
Although he didn't understand the situation, Wang Zhi subconsciously gave an answer immediately.
"My grandfather is Wang Xiu, and he picked the cold sandalwood grass to treat my sister's illness!"
"Huoyun, I don't know Huoyun!"
Wang Zhi stood straight and almost bit his tongue because he answered too quickly. You can imagine how nervous he was.
But when Huo Xuzi heard Wang Zhi's answer, the expression on his face froze. After a moment, he said again in disbelief:
“You don’t know Huoyun? How is that possible? In Xianyou Valley, even among the mortals in Lingquan Town, a three-year-old child, who doesn’t know the name of Huoyun?!”
"Do you know what you are talking about? Maybe you are not a native of Lingquan Town?!"
Huoxuzi became more and more excited as he spoke, but Wang Zhi could only give an awkward yet polite smile. After all, he had indeed never heard of the name Huoyun.
The elves watching the show felt puzzled, and only Chu Yi and Tina remained calm. After a moment, Huo Xuzi regained his composure.
"What disease does your sister have? Why does she need to use Hantan grass?"
Without further dwelling on Huoyun's question, Huoxuzi changed the subject and asked about Wang Zhi's sister's illness. Wang Zhi hesitated for a while, but still chose to tell him.
Perhaps there is some kind of expectation in his heart?
"Misfire."
After Wang Zhi said these three words, his fist clenched unconsciously. Pyrodysesthesia is a congenital disease and it is extremely rare. There is no cure.
People suffering from pyrosis have a body temperature that is naturally higher than that of ordinary people, and it will become higher and higher over time until the patient spontaneously combusts and burns to ashes.
Generally speaking, people suffering from fire syndrome do not live beyond the age of 20.
The cold sandalwood grass can inhibit this process, but it can only inhibit it.
"Fire syndrome? I have never heard of it."
Wang Zhi loosened his clenched fists. Although he was not too disappointed, he no longer had the idea of continuing to communicate with Huoxuzi. He had to hurry on his journey and make sure to bring the Hantan grass back before tomorrow night!
"Why are you so anxious? I have never heard of this name, but I may have seen this disease. Please tell me the symptoms in detail!"
Huoxuzi scolded him, and Wang Zhi wanted to say, "Senior, we don't know each other, why do you have to do this?" But in the end, he hesitated and chose to tell him honestly.
The symptoms of fire syndrome were explained in detail. During the explanation, Huoxuzi also asked several strange questions, some of which even involved the privacy of Wang Zhi's sister, but Wang Zhi chose to answer them one by one.
The more Wang Zhi asked, the more to-the-point his questions became, which made the young man in front of him more and more excited. At the same time, he ignored Huoxuzi's increasingly strange expression.
"Okay, I get it. Wait for me here for a while."
After asking the last question, Huoxuzi, who already had a clear answer, motioned Wang Zhi to wait there. He walked to Chu Yi and bowed respectfully with an apologetic look.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I may need to leave for two days to take this kid to pick some spiritual herbs. Please allow me!"
"But I promise that I will come back as soon as possible and treat you all well then!"
Huoxuzi came here to temporarily resign. He didn't even have a storage ring on him now, so naturally he didn't have any spiritual medicine. Fortunately, the spiritual medicine he needed was not particularly precious. Huoxuzi was confident that he could collect all of it in two days.
"Of course no problem. We'll see you in Lingquan Town in two days."
Chu Yi nodded, signaling Huoxuzi to do as he pleased. It didn't matter if he didn't have a guide, as he knew Lingquan Town very well anyway.
"What are you standing there for? Follow me!"
Xilin found it very interesting that Huoxuzi was very respectful in front of Chu Yi, but in front of Wang Zhi, he acted arrogant.
But the magical thing is that the little guy didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Huoxuzi's attitude. Instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of harmony.
"Let's go shopping."
Chu Yi looked at the departing backs of Huo Xuzi and Wang Zhi, smiled and shook his head. Although it was a destined meeting, it was also a kind of fate.
The compensation method for the ghost things in Fuyun Ghost Market does seem to be quite sincere.
“Shopping! Shopping!!”
"I want to buy candied haws!"
"Chu Yi! Chu Yi! Can you hold me while shopping later?"
"Walking around the streets with the deputy elder in your arms? I want that too!"
"..."
Looking at the deputy elder who was instantly overwhelmed by the little kids, Elder Fu Fu and the goddess couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on their faces.
It's time to go.
