419. So Much for the Curse Not Affecting You?

"By the way, I also have a question for Valley Master."

"You say."

"After Old Meng's Curse turned into a woman's dislike, will the Curse affect you?"

The Valley Master of Frost Valley revealed a displeased expression, feeling that Lu Yang was questioning her authority. "I hadn't dealt with the Meng family boy's Curse before, which led to my mistake and caused him to run around for so long. Now, I have confirmed the diagnosis through the 'Suspended Thread Pulse Diagnosis' and have a complete grasp of his Curse. After my treatment plan, the Curse has weakened to the point where it is ineffective against me."

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.

"The Valley Master said that toad skin, dried centipede, and powdered five-poison insects... must all be eaten, and eaten raw for greater efficiency."

Lu Yang used the Valley Master to control Meng Jingzhou.

Meng Jingzhou untied the tangled white thread and saw all sorts of strange medicinal herbs. His face turned green. Was this something for human consumption?

Are you sure eating it raw is more efficient?

"This wasn't my saying, it was said by Valley Master Frost."

Meng Jingzhou had no other choice but to follow the doctor's orders. His scalp tingled, and he suppressed the urge to vomit, eating the food one by one. Although it was inanimate, it seemed to come alive after it went down his throat, churning violently in his stomach.

Zhao Po watched silently from the side, wondering if this was the way the two geniuses of the Ask Dao Sect competed—scheming against each other and harming one another.

"We still need to use acupuncture and bloodletting." Lu Yang took out the Seven Star Silver Needles that Frost Valley Master had lent him. The silver needles must be an extraordinary Law Treasure. Lu Yang didn't even need to infuse them with Law Power. He simply stuck one into Meng Jingzhou's arm and easily pierced through Meng Jingzhou's defenses.

It should be noted that Meng Jingzhou is a body cultivator, and his physical defense is ridiculously strong. Lu Yang cannot guarantee that he can break through his defense in a short period of time.

"Ouch—could you at least tell me before you stick the needle in!" Meng Jingzhou winced in pain, his face contorted in agony. He hadn't felt this pain in a long time.

If a legitimate doctor performs acupuncture, it can be done painlessly, and the patient will not feel any needles.

Unfortunately, Lu Yang wasn't a proper doctor; he wasn't even a doctor.

"Fairy, do you know acupuncture?" Lu Yang remembered that there was a theoretical cheat code in his mental space.

"How do you bleed? I'm familiar with that. Demon Beast meat has a fishy smell because the blood wasn't cleaned properly. Use my method to bleed it, and I guarantee not a single drop will be left."

Lu Yang felt that Meng Jingzhou didn't need to pay the ultimate price for this.

Lu Yang pulled out the silver needles, and Meng Jingzhou's blood gushed out like a fountain. The silver needles seemed to have an inherent, unhealing effect, rendering Meng Jingzhou's proud self-healing ability completely useless. He could only wait for the wound to heal slowly.

The blood flowing from the wound dripped onto the ground. This was the blood of Golden Core cultivator, containing extremely precious spiritual power. Moreover, it was the blood of a single Golden Core cultivator, pure and yang in nature, with effects even better than many pure yang medicines.

Various insects seemed the Unseen sense how precious this blood was, and they all came to drink Meng Jingzhou's blood, feeling refreshed after drinking it.

What these insects didn't know was that from then on, they would never see female insects again.

However, no one knows about this right now—not Lu Yang, not Meng Jingzhou, not even the insects themselves...

As the wound healed, Lu Yang inserted the needles again, removed them, bled, let it heal, and then inserted the needles again. This was repeated three times. Meng Jingzhou felt the unease that had been lingering in his heart ease, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It really works!"

Although it wasn't completely resolved, resolving part of it is still a form of resolution, which is a huge step forward.

Coming to the desolate state was definitely the right choice; it was much more reliable than consulting the elders.

After calculating the time, the Valley Master of Frost Valley felt it was about time, so he left Seven Emotions Valley and finally met Meng Jingzhou.

"So you're the young master from the Meng family?"

The moment Meng Jingzhou saw the Valley Master of Frost Valley, he knew that the unease that had been weighing on his heart had eased somewhat; it wasn't just a feeling, and his Curse had indeed been partially resolved.

"Reporting to the Valley Master, I am Meng Jingzhou, a disciple of the Ask Dao Sect."

Valley Master Shuang snorted coldly, "As expected, they are from the Meng family."

Lu Yang had a bad feeling and quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Thank you, Valley Master Shuang, for healing my companion. May I ask what our next step should be to completely cure Old Meng's Curse?"

The Valley Master of Frost Valley looked displeased. "I shouldn't have treated you just now. That old scoundrel Bu Yu tricked me, and your Meng family isn't any better. Get out of here!"

Lu Yang: "..."

What happened to the Curse being ineffective against you?

Valley Master, can you be a little more reliable?

With things having come to this point, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou couldn't bring themselves to ask what the next step should be, so they had no choice but to set off and leave Seven Emotions Valley.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Po broke the silence first, suggesting, "How about we go to our Corpse Driving Sect first? The elders and Sect Master are familiar with the Desolate State and know many top-tier spellcasters and eccentric masters; perhaps they can find a way."

"That's the only way."

The three people, the corpse, and the horse were traveling and were about to rest near a city when they heard a commotion coming from the vicinity of the city.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, I am Qingluo, the newly appointed Sect Master of the Yuntai Sect. According to the rules of our sect, any woman who becomes Sect Master must choose a husband through a martial arts contest."

"Therefore, I, the Sect Master, have set up this arena here. Anyone can challenge me, and whoever can defeat me will be my ideal husband!"

Qingluo was only sixteen years old, pure and beautiful, with big, watery eyes that gave her a clean beauty, and her tenacious appearance made her even more endearing.

Qingluo had announced long ago that she would choose her husband through a martial arts contest, so most people in the area knew about it and came to marry Qingluo.

However, there were also people who were unaware of this, such as Lu Yang and his two companions.

"Yuntai Sect? I've never heard of this sect before, Brother Zhao. Do you know anything about it?"

After much contemplation, Zhao Po finally found information about the Yuntai Sect in a corner of his memory.

"The Yuntai Sect is a very small sect, considered a minor sect. Its influence is limited to one city, or even smaller. The highest cultivation level in the sect is probably only at the Golden Core stage. The Yuntai Sect is most famous for its ancestral precept: if the Sect Master is a woman, she must choose a man stronger than the Sect Master as her husband. This should be the situation we are in now."

Small sects like the Yuntai Sect were countless in the Great Xia Dynasty, as numerous as hairs on a cow.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the people Lu Yang usually interacts with are all at the Golden Core Nascent Soul or Nascent Soul stage; the starting point for making enemies is the Integration Body Integration Realm, and the highest level is Immortal.

That's because Lu Yang is a disciple of the Ask Dao Sect, and his level of contact is too high.

What is the Ask Dao Sect? It is the head of the Five Great Immortal Sects, gathering the most outstanding geniuses from the entire continent. Anyone who walks out of the sect can make a great name for themselves in the Central Continent.

In reality, most cultivators struggle to establish their foundation even after a lifetime of effort, and the Golden Core stage is an even more unattainable goal. This is why Golden Core families and Golden Core sects have emerged.

When Meng Jingzhou saw Qingluo, his eyes lit up, and he felt a flutter in his heart, sensing that his luck with women was about to change.
