Chapter 86: The Divine Eagle
Is it the pain of a broken heart?
Li Mochou pondered for a moment, then said:
"What does the pain of a broken heart matter? I'll just try a heartbreak herb!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin immediately reached out and pressed four acupoints on Li Mochou: "Shaohai," "Tongli," "Shenmen," and "Shaochong" to protect her heart meridian. Then he had Li Mochou take the Heartbreak Grass.
After Li Mochou took the Heartbreak Grass, she felt as if thousands of steel needles were piercing her abdomen at the same time. In addition to her liver and intestines being torn apart, the pain spread throughout her entire body.
At first, Li Mochou was able to circulate her internal energy to protect her heart meridian, but later, due to the pain, she collapsed to the ground.
This suffocating pain lasted for a full half hour before gradually subsiding, and finally, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
After spitting out blood, Li Mochou felt that the poison from the Love Flower in her body had weakened.
"This heartbreak herb can indeed counteract the potent poison of the love flower."
Li Mochou said something and immediately prepared to take another Heartbreak Grass, but Qian Jin quickly stopped her.
"This poisonous herb is extremely toxic and should not be taken continuously. To ensure your health is not harmed, it is best to wait seven days before taking the second one."
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou said:
"It seems I was too impatient. I will wait seven days before taking the second one."
From then on, Li Mochou took the Heartbreak Grass every seven days until, more than a month later, she finally felt that the Love Flower poison in her body had been completely eliminated.
That same day, Li Mochou found Qian Jin and expressed her gratitude.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"You are Long'er's senior sister, so there's no need to be so polite."
Now that your love potion poison has been cured, what are your plans for the future?
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou thought for a moment and said:
"I don't have anywhere else to go, so I'll head back to Crimson Cloud Manor first!"
The next day, everyone gathered together, and Li Mochou told them about her plan to take Hong Lingbo back to Chixia Manor.
Then he turned to Lu Wushuang and said:
"Wushuang, although I have taken you as my disciple all these years, I have never seriously taught you martial arts."
"If you're still willing to acknowledge me as your master, why don't you come back to Crimson Cloud Manor with me? From now on, I will teach both of you the superior martial arts of our Ancient Tomb Sect."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wushuang turned to look at Qian Jin.
She knew that Qian Jin was highly skilled in martial arts and had many beautiful female companions. Her mediocre martial arts skills were definitely not good enough for him.
So instead of lingering by his side, it would be better to go back with his master, practice martial arts diligently, and strive to become a master one day.
Even if I can't become Brother Qian's confidante, I can at least help him with martial arts.
So he said:
"Master, I am willing to go back to Chixia Manor with you."
After Li Mochou and her disciples left, Qian Jin looked at the beautiful scenery in the Valley of Heartbreak and said:
"Miss Gongsun, are you truly determined to stay in the Valley of Heartbreak forever?"
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e said:
"Brother Qian, I grew up in the Valley of Heartbreak since I was a child. I know nothing about the outside world. Even if I go out, I can only be taken care of by you, Brother Qian."
Actually, the Valley of Heartbreak is quite nice. Our Gongsun family has lived in seclusion here for hundreds of years, and I myself want to pass on this Valley of Heartbreak for generations to come.
After all, the scenery here is beautiful; it's practically a paradise on earth!
Seeing that Gongsun Lü'e had made up her mind, Qian Jin did not try to persuade her any further.
On that day, he compiled the Iron Palm Technique into a book, then marked the obscure and difficult parts, and finally handed it over to Gongsun Lü'e.
"Miss Gongsun, this Iron Palm skill was passed down to you by your mother before she passed away. She hoped that you would carry it on."
I have now marked it in detail. You only need to practice diligently, and you will surely be able to carry it forward.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e took the Iron Palm Technique, stared at it blankly for a moment, and said:
"Thank you, Brother Qian. I will definitely cherish it."
Seeing this, Qian Jin stayed in the valley for several more days to instruct Gongsun Lü'e until she had no questions about the Iron Palm Technique. Only then did he leave gracefully with Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying.
One day, the three of them traveled to a desolate place. As dusk approached, Qian Jin suggested that they stay there for the night and continue their journey after daybreak the next day.
Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying readily agreed, and then found a cave nearby that could accommodate the three of them temporarily.
Having found a place to stay, Qian Jin went to look for wild game nearby, and within half an hour, he returned with three wild rabbits.
"Long'er, little sister, let's have roasted wild rabbit tonight!"
Upon seeing this, Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying immediately went to the vicinity to pick up some branches, then started a fire and roasted and ate all three wild rabbits.
After eating their fill, the three returned to the cave to rest.
Cheng Ying was still sleeping on the bottom, while Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu slept in mid-air.
In the middle of the night, Qian Jin suddenly heard a series of eagle cries outside. The cries were slightly hoarse, but they were still majestic.
Qian Jin was overjoyed and immediately left the cave. He followed the sound and walked downhill until he arrived at a valley.
Looking around, one is startled to see a huge eagle. The eagle is enormous, more than a person tall, and has a very ugly appearance. Its feathers are sparse and scattered all over its body, as if half of them have been plucked out.
It had a blood-red growth on its head, thick legs, and short wings, but it walked with its head held high and a majestic air about it.
Upon seeing this, Qian Jin immediately realized that this giant eagle was the same divine eagle that had followed the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai.
The divine eagle cried out three times in succession, as if issuing a challenge.
Then a loud bang was heard from the tree opposite, followed by a giant python as thick as a bowl suddenly pouncing on the Divine Eagle.
Upon seeing this, the Divine Eagle not only did not avoid it, but immediately rushed forward and fought with the giant python.
The Divine Eagle was incredibly fast, and in a single exchange, it had already pecked out the giant python's right eye. However, the giant python was no pushover either, and it opened its massive jaws and bit down on the fleshy growth on the Divine Eagle's head.
Seeing this, Qian Jin immediately leaped out and said:
"Brother Eagle, I'm here to lend you a hand."
However, as soon as Qian Jin approached, the divine eagle spread its right wing to block him out, and then launched a fierce attack on the giant python.
The giant python was pecked several times by the divine eagle. After feeling the pain, it wrapped its body tightly around the divine eagle, which spread its wings and tried its best to resist.
Seeing that the Divine Eagle was at a disadvantage, Qian Jin immediately unleashed several bursts of One-Finger Force, striking the giant python.
The giant python was struck by the One-Finger Divine Skill, and its body immediately relaxed. Seeing this opportunity, the Divine Eagle immediately pecked out the python's other eye, then pressed down on the python's seven-inch spot with its claws and pecked at its head.
In no time, the giant python stiffened and died completely.
After killing the giant python, the divine eagle first raised its head and cried out, then turned to Qian Jin and cried out a few more times, its voice very friendly, clearly trying to show goodwill to Qian Jin.
