Episode 1: Nan Yan rescues Shaocang and becomes a medicine man
For thousands of years, outside the vast ocean of the mortal world, there have been many sects of cultivating the world. Among them, the Yangyue Sect takes the path of seeking immortality as its orthodox one, while Nanyan is a female disciple of the sect.
She is famous for her proficiency in poisonous techniques and cures diseases, and is known as “breaking Bad”. There are three peaks and six halls in the sect, with more than a thousand disciples and countless cliques. Due to Nanyan’s low spiritual power and withdrawn personality, he is often excluded from everyone.
On this day, Chu Jing, a fellow disciple of the same school, broke into Nanyan’s courtyard without authorization and set fire to destroy the vermilion flowers that she had carefully cultivated for two years.
Unexpectedly, this flower releases poisonous gas when exposed to heat, and the poison quickly invades the body. Nan Yan showed great kindness and made the scorpion pet Xiangxiang suck out the poisonous blood in Chu Jing’s body, and then steamed him with medicine to get rid of most of the toxins.
Although this move was misunderstood by the first disciple Fu Lang and the sect leader’s beloved daughter Meng Ying, Nan Yan also wanted to punish Chu Jing for his mistakes.
After night falls, Canyon Square City is brightly lit and bustling with people, and the horrifying rumors of Emperor Shaocang turning evil and killing his fellow sects are spread in the streets and alleys.
It is said that Shaocang was expected to become the next Xuan Zai, but unfortunately he was captured by Xuan Zai Ying Zewei with a serious crime and imprisoned in the Soul River Water Prison, but miraculously escaped, and his whereabouts have been a mystery since then.
At this moment, Shaocang was sitting alone in a corner of the market, hearing the raging discussions around him, but remained silent, offering wine to pay homage to his old friend, and then left with his long sword on his back, passing by Nan Yan, leaving only a faint intersection.
At that time, Ji Ming, the master of the Divine Confession, relied on the demon-conquering technique “Seven Floating Karmic Books” to sacrifice his life with one blow, surrendering the demon Lord Senluo and killing him in the north.
In exchange, the world regained its enlightenment and the world was at peace. Ji Ming’s deeds were remembered by later generations, and the world made clay statues of him, built temples to worship him, and respected him as a god.
The “Seven Floating Karma Book” with supreme power turned into a talisman spirit after Ji Ming’s sacrifice, disappearing without a trace.
Now Shaocang committed the crime of killing his fellow disciples and was expelled from Daoshengtian by his master. In order to clear his grievances, Shaocang resolutely went to the north to search based on the legend that Qifu could identify demonic nature.
Zhu Sui, the law enforcement elder of Daoshengtian, led his disciple Ma Rui and others to track Jiming Palace all the way.
However, Shao Cangzhi was more like a demon, so he made every effort to use the godly mentality of fools in the world to pretend that Jiming escaped.
On the other side, Nan Yan was preparing to go to Hui Valley to pick red velvet grass at midnight tonight, and accidentally witnessed the murder of the disciples of Dao Shengtian by Yu Yong, the elder of Tianxie Dao.
Yu Yongnai is the fourth among the five evil ghosts. His unfathomable magic power makes Nan Yan afraid. He wanted to sneak away quietly but was noticed by the other party and almost died on the spot.
It happened that Shaocang tracked down Qifu and came to the dirty valley, and secretly helped Nanyan defeat Yu Yong, making Nanyan mistakenly think that Ji Ming was a ghost. Shaocang’s battle with Yu Yong caused his old injury to relapse and he fell into a coma. Fortunately, Nanyan rescued him.
Nan Yan was fond of Shaocang when he saw that he was dressed in blue and white Taoist robes and had a handsome face, like a crescent moon emerging from the dust. In addition, he suffered from a heart disease similar to that of his mother Nan Rao, so he decided to keep him as a medicine man for research.
Nan Yan bound Shaocang with a rope and forcibly imprisoned him on the pretext of using poison to eliminate the trouble. In order to prevent Shaocang from trying to escape, Nanyan exaggerated the seriousness of his condition, promised to be responsible for his food and daily life, and set up a barrier to restrict his use of spiritual power.
Shaocang recalled that his old wounds were caused by the Master’s Dignity Punishment and the torture in the Soul River Water Prison, and planned to find out the person behind Qifu’s death as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a monster in the basket next to him, and was about to take action. Nan Yan stopped him.
This move angered the monster, and then Nanyan’s expression suddenly changed, as if he was controlled by another force. A red light flashed on his forehead, and he murmured to himself, claiming that he was a “killing karma talisman.”
When Shaocang broke into Nanyan’s sea of consciousness, he discovered that the monster was actually the talisman he had been searching for for many days, and had been accidentally absorbed into Nanyan’s body.
Fu Ling said that if Shaocang could take it out of the sea of consciousness, he could recognize it as his master. If he wanted to escape, he would have to wait until Xu Shi tomorrow night to use the spirit-stealing formation.
