Who Under Heaven Isn't Enemies with Your Master?

Do you like it when a woman looks at you with a disgusted expression?

Meng Jingzhou suspected that Lu Yang might have some serious illness.

It seemed that ever since they entered the desolate state, he felt that Lu Yang's condition was getting worse and worse.

"Here's the thing, I found Shuang Feiyan, the Valley Master of Seven Emotions Valley. Valley Master Shuang has some connections with the Fourth Elder and is willing to help you resolve the karmic backlash. However, her abilities are limited, and she can only help you resolve a part of it, not completely."

On his way to find Meng Jingzhou, Lu Yang also considered that the Frost Valley Master's cultivation was not high enough to completely resolve the issue. Would it be better to have the previous Valley Master or a figure like the Supreme Elder of Seven Emotions Valley take action?

The Valley Master of Frost Valley responded, "Do you think everyone of higher seniority than me has reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage?"

"The Valley Master of Frost Valley can change the effect of the karmic backlash from 'cannot see women' to 'all women you see will hate you.' We still need to think of ways to completely resolve this."

Meng Jingzhou's expression was strange. "Why do I feel like these two effects are about the same?"

"How can you say they're evenly matched? You used to be so poor you couldn't even get into a brothel, but now you can."

"Please use a more natural analogy next time, thank you."

Meng Jingzhou squatted on the ground, touching his mouth as he pondered. If he could resolve part of the Curse, he wouldn't have to stay in the mountain gully every day, listening to Lu Yang boast about his romantic luck. He would be able to enter the city and go anywhere without any restrictions, and he wouldn't have to worry about being chased around by disasters.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Valley Master Frost. Uh, how should I tell you?"

Lu Yang sighed. Since Valley Master Shuang and Meng Jingzhou couldn't meet, and Old Ma couldn't be relied on, he would have to act as a messenger himself.

Resigned to his fate, he retraced his steps and found the Valley Master of Frost Valley resting and meditating under a tree.

"Have you found your companion?"

"Found him, he's willing to accept your treatment."

The Valley Master of Frost Valley nodded, then frowned slightly as he thought of another question.

What's wrong with you?

"His Curse is extremely difficult to break, and even if it can be partially neutralized, it will be incredibly challenging. I need to observe his specific situation before deciding on the best method to break it."

"But now you and Lao Meng can't meet, can you?"

"Yes, that's the problem."

Having lived for over two thousand years, the Valley Master of Frost Valley possessed far more experience than Lu Yang, and quickly devised a solution.

"I've got an idea; we can use the 'suspended thread pulse diagnosis' technique."

"However, the abundance of vegetation here hinders the diagnostic process and makes it inconvenient to perform the procedure. Therefore, you should bring your companions to the entrance of Seven Emotions Valley, where there are no obstacles."

After leaving these words, the Valley Master of Frost Valley flew back to Seven Emotions Valley to prepare the Law Treasure needed for the suspense pulse diagnosis.

Lu Yang returned to the desolate mountain where Meng Jingzhou was, and had the old horse pull the two of them to the Valley of Seven Emotions.

This time, Old Ma didn't slow down. He used spatial Law Technique to quickly pull the two back.

By this time, all the people who had come to Seven Emotions Valley to break the Curse had dispersed, and the disciples who were practicing medicine had all carried their small stools back to the valley. Meng Jingzhou returned to Seven Emotions Valley without any problems.

Lu Yang entered the Valley of Seven Emotions and obtained the Law Treasure of pulse diagnosis from the Valley Master of Frost Valley.

Pulse diagnosis via a suspended thread is an ancient diagnostic method that originated in the Great Gan Dynasty. When Emperor Gan's concubine fell ill, the imperial physician was required to diagnose her. However, since the concubine was Emperor Gan's woman, how could he allow other men to touch her?

The imperial physicians devised a method: they tied one end of a silk thread around the concubine's wrist, while the other end was held by the physician. The physician would diagnose the illness based on the sensation, pulse, and spiritual energy transmitted through the thread, along with his own extensive medical skills.

The most skilled imperial physicians were adept at stealth, secretly treating the concubines under the cover of night, without anyone noticing.

"I understand the reasoning, but why are you binding me so tightly? You said that the pulse diagnosis only requires wrapping the wrist."

Meng Jingzhou was furious. His whole body was wrapped in white silk threads, except for his mouth, which was still ungabbed.

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Lu Yang also wrapped his mouth shut.

"What other way is there? This isn't just a normal karmic backlash. To make a proper diagnosis, one thread isn't enough. You need to be completely bound up for a better diagnosis. Just bear with it. This is what Valley Master Frost wants."

Meng Jingzhou was defeated and obediently awaited the diagnosis from the Valley Master of Frost Valley.

Lu Yang entered the Valley of Seven Emotions. The Valley Master of Frost was holding a large handful of loose threads, meditating with his eyes closed, thinking of a solution.

Lu Yang held his breath, not daring to disturb Frost Valley Master's diagnosis.

"Two single Golden Core cultivators, quite bold indeed."

"You can tell this is a single Golden Core cultivator?" Lu Yang asked in surprise. This was the first time someone outside the Ask Dao Sect had recognized Meng Jingzhou's Golden Core.

"When I was young, I met a single Spirit Root talent, but he couldn't compare to your companion."

"This bloodline sign, and the surname is Meng, so he's a young man from the Meng family," the Valley Master of Frost Valley said with a smile, recalling some things from his youth.

"This karmic backlash is quite interesting; it's even more severe than the hermit described, but fortunately, it's within my expectations."

The Valley Master of Frost Valley already had a plan in mind, and had figured out how to mitigate part of the karmic backlash.

Have you studied the principles of Curse?

"No."

"Curse has both spiritual and physical attributes. To break Curse, one must address both the physical and spiritual aspects."

"This is toad skin, dried centipede, and powdered five poisonous insects... Feed these things to the Meng family boy in the order I've arranged for you. Remember, they must be eaten raw to break the Curse on his body. Then use this set of Seven Star Silver Needles to puncture and bleed him. After the wound heals, puncture and bleed him again. Repeat this three times. The Seven Star Silver Needles have the ability to connect with the soul and can break the Curse on the soul."

"Have you remembered everything I told you?"

"Let me confirm, are you sure you want to eat toad skin and these things raw?"

"You can eat it cooked, but eating it raw is more efficient."

"Higher absorption efficiency?"

"It's more time-efficient, saving the time it takes to cook."

"Okay, I'll remember." Lu Yang turned to leave, but was stopped by Valley Master Shuang.

"Wait a minute, there's something I need to confirm with you again."

"You said?"

"The old scoundrel Bu Yu is really still alive. I know some Sect Master like to keep their deaths a secret, worried about the impact. If the old scoundrel Bu Yu is really gone, just tell me, and I'll personally take you to the Corpse Driving Sect to learn how to create living corpses."

"Do you have a grudge against my master?"

The Valley Master of Frost Valley sneered repeatedly, "Under the whole heaven, who doesn't have a grudge against your master?"

"Back when your master was imprisoned, I went to visit him with you. When your master saw me, he said he was immune to Curse and that no Curse could harm him. If I didn't believe him, I could try it. Of course, I didn't believe him, so I put several Curse on him, and then your master was released on medical parole."

Lu Yang: "..."

"Later, when the case came to light, the officials arrested your master and me together on charges of escaping from prison."

"... My master is still alive. He was in jail a while ago, and I don't know if he's out yet."

"What a pity."

The second update will be at 11 PM.
