3175 World-Forgetting Water

“Isn’t it because there are thousands of miles of dangerous places around here? That’s why no one comes here, because no one knows that there is a Pill King Valley here?” She looked at them with a smile, without fear or panic.

“Hehe, that’s just one of the reasons.” The middle-aged man chuckled and stroked his beard while looking at Feng Jiu.

“Then what about the second reason?” Feng Jiu asked indignantly.

“The second reason is that some of the people who came here by accident have already become fertilisers for the plants, or become one of the people in Pill King Valley. To become one of the people in Pill King Valley, one must forget the memories of the past and only focus on Pill King Valley, staying here for all eternity and never leaving.”

!!
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu nodded, then she looked at the busy medicine boys in the valley. She saw that most of the boys were relatively young, but a few were elderly. They didn’t pay much attention to her, as if they had already gotten used to it, and they just concentrated on their own tasks at hand.

Just as she was thinking to herself, the two people inside the boundary barrier jumped out suddenly one after another and stretched their hands out to grab her. Her clear eyes flashed and her figure backed away from the hands that had reached out to detain her. At the same time, she asked with a smile: “What is Your Excellency trying to do?”

“Your appearance and demeanour are extremely outstanding, and so is your beauty. It will be a pity for you to become fertiliser. It’s better to capture you and feed you with world-forgetting water, then you can stay in Pill King Valley.” The middle-aged man said to Feng Jiu as he stared at her, his eyes flickering: “The Pill King said recently that he’s lacking servants around him, if we send you to him, it would be a great achievement for us.”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Feng Jiu’s lips deepened, but her clear eyes were cold. A faint light flashed across her eyes, as she looked at the two of them with a smile, then she said: “In that case, why don’t the two of you take me to see the Pill King first before making a decision? Perhaps the Pill King doesn’t like a beauty that’s lost her true temperament. Besides, your strength is so powerful, how can I, a mere girl, escape from you?”

“At least you know your own limitations.” The two of them stared at her for a while, then they said: “Forget it, since you understand the situation, you can walk by yourself!” Having said that, a gap in the boundary barrier opened behind him with a flick of his sleeve.

“Please.” The two of them looked at Feng Jiu and motioned for her to go in by herself.

Feng Jiu smiled lightly when she saw this, then she swept up and went inside.

Having seen this, the two people looked at each other, then they walked inside. After they entered, the boundary barrier sealed up behind them.

Feng Jiu, who had fallen from the sky, walked slowly on the mountain road paved with stones. The two of them followed behind, as if they were trying to prevent her from escaping. However, when they saw that she appeared so calm and unafraid, as if she was taking a stroll in her back garden, a strange feeling emerged in the hearts of the two men.

They had been there for many years, and they had never seen anyone enter here so calmly. In comparison to the people before her, they couldn’t help but feel that this woman was really strange.

“You walk with her while I go ahead and report.” One of the middle-aged men said, and his figure flickered, then he swept forward and disappeared into the end of the mountain road without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Feng Jiu looked around and asked: “How many people are there in your Pill King Valley?”

The middle-aged man next to her glanced at her and said: “There’s no harm telling you, there are nineteen alchemists, and there are more than a hundred medicine boys.”
