Chapter 781: The Origin of Ya Shen Valley
on is not suitable for joking, right I think you still don't know what a trial is. Just sit down first!"Mr. Shi didn't believe Chen Ping at all.Within hundreds of miles around Kyoto, they probably cou...Entering the valley, Chen Ping discovered that it was incredibly vast. The place was densely packed with buildings, dwarfing the Miao village in size by many times over.
However, what puzzled Chen Ping was that there were still many ordinary people constantly shuttling within the Yaosheng Valley. There were also quite a few children playing and frolicking, not everyone was a martial artist, nor would everyone be able to refine pills.
"Seeing Chen Ping's puzzled expression, Xu Changsheng explained: "Chen brother, our Yaoshenggu now has tens of thousands of people, but not everyone practices martial arts, nor does everyone know how to refine medicine pills. You could say that we are more like a big village..."
Subsequently, Xu Changsheng told Chen Ping about the history of Yaosheng Valley. Only then did Chen Ping realize that Yaosheng Valley was not as mysterious and terrifying as rumored outside.
Actually, the people of Yaoshén Valley were originally villagers who fled from war and sought refuge in this valley. They settled here and lived a life apart from the world.
Although hidden away, it's not completely disconnected from the outside world. Slowly, some martial artists who have grown weary of worldly affairs and some Daoist practitioners seeking solitude also find their way here to live.
Soon, the people here learned martial arts and Taoism. The formations within Yaosheng Valley were laid down during that period and have endured for hundreds of years.
A hundred years ago, an old man came to the valley. He was a skilled physician who cured the people of their illnesses and could also brew medicine that strengthened their bodies and made them live longer.
Soon, many people followed the old man to learn medicine and alchemy. Gradually, many talented people also learned excellent medical skills and alchemy techniques. As a result, the lifespan of the people in Yaosheng Valley extended considerably.
>At last, the old man said he was going into seclusion and disappeared without a trace. No one knows if he is dead or alive now, and the name "Yaoshending" came about from that time.
After the elder disappeared, people from the valley continuously went outside to treat illnesses and refine pills for others, earning some supplies. Some even tasted the sweetness of the outside world's prosperity and chose to stay outside, enjoying wealth and luxury...
Gradually, people from the outside world called this valley the Valley of the Medicine God, and the people inside the valley followed suit. This name, the Valley of the Medicine God, was not chosen deliberately.
"Mr. Chen, the reason we have rules in our valley to keep outsiders out is to prevent people from discovering that the Valley of the Medicine God isn't as mysterious as they think. If word got out, others might try to take over the Valley, and then those inside would be in danger..."
Yu Dong followed Chen Ping's explanation.
Chen Ping nodded. There were so many ordinary people in Yaoshengu, and many knew that there were many elixirs here. If someone really had bad intentions, the people inside the valley would be in real trouble.
Human hearts are unpredictable. Faced with immense profit, many people will lose their rationality, especially those so-called warriors. Their desire for power surpasses that of anyone else.
Xu Changsheng led Chen Ping and the others toward a large hall in the center of the valley. The hall was built with blue stones, covering a very large area, over twenty meters high. It was the largest and tallest building in the entire valley.
Yu Dong stopped at the gate of the main hall and said, "Mr. Chen, you should go in with the elder. This is the Hall of the Medicine God, only elders are allowed inside. I'll wait for you outside..."
Chen Ping nodded and followed Xu Changsheng into the Yaoshending. The hall was filled with mist, with several incense burners emitting smoke around it. The smoke carried a faint herbal scent, but after smelling it, it actually made people feel more refreshed.
And in the center of the main hall, there was a copper cauldron over a person's height. The cauldron was still steaming inside, and several people were constantly adding various medicinal herbs to it.Chapter 3,133: Controlling the Thunder Tribulation
