In the lush courtyard, ancient trees towered into the sky, and sunlight dappled through the treetops onto the bluestone pavement, creating a serene atmosphere. Bei Lin'er stood in the courtyard, holding a mission letter handwritten by Wei Renzhi, with a furrowed brow, but tumultuous emotions within.
Wei Renzhi, the highly respected The Grandmaster in the medical field, has presented her with a difficult task today. The handwriting in the mission book reflects the unquestionable authority and determination of the person.
"Ling'er, this mission is not to be taken lightly. You need to venture deep into the Snake Valley to find the long-lost 'Millennium Purple Lingzhi.' This item will greatly benefit your medical practice, but the Snake Valley is full of dangers, so you must proceed with caution."
Wei Fei stood aside, conveying her father's will with a serious expression.
Bei Lin'er took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. She knew this was not just a test, but also an opportunity for growth. She carefully put away the mission scroll and looked up at Wei Fei with a determined gaze, saying, "I understand, senior sister. I will do my best."
Wei Fei nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes, but more worry. She stepped forward and gently patted Bei Lin'er's shoulder, her tone carrying a hint of seriousness.
"The trip to the Snake Valley is extraordinary. You will not only face those fierce poisonous snakes, but also the possible coveting of other treasure hunters. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, preserving your life is the most important."
Bei Lin'er nodded, her eyes revealing an unmistakable determination. She turned and walked into the room, beginning to prepare the necessary herbs and equipment.
Inside the room, sunlight filtered through the window curtains, casting a mottled light on the neatly arranged bottles of herbs and books.
Wu Pu, the second senior brother of Benevolent Pavilion, was also in the room, earnestly studying an ancient book. Hearing the movement, he looked up with a hint of concern in his eyes and said, "Ling'er, this mission sounds very risky. Are you really planning to go alone?"
Bei Lin'er paused and turned with a smile, "Second senior brother, there's no need to worry. I am no longer the ignorant little girl I was back then. Besides, I believe in my medical skills and wit to handle everything."
Wu Pu stood up and walked to Bei Lin'er. He was tall and towering, giving her a great sense of security standing next to him like a mountain.
He whispered, "I know your abilities, but the dangers of the Snake Valley are beyond your imagination. If possible, I hope to accompany you."
Bei Lin'er He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Second Senior Brother, I appreciate your intentions, but this is my trial, and I must complete it on my own. Your responsibilities in the pavilion are equally important."
Wu Pu After a moment of silence, he finally nodded: "Since you have made your decision, I can only respect it. But I will prepare some special ointments to deal with the venomous snakes in the pavilion for you, as well as some other supplies."
Bei Lin'er gratefully glanced at Wu Pu and felt a warm surge in her heart. She knew that this second senior brother had always been reticent, but he always provided the most solid support at critical moments.
After getting ready, Bei Lin'er stood in front of the gate of the pavilion, took a deep breath, and her figure elongated on the threshold.
She knew that once she stepped across this threshold, it would mean countless unknowns and challenges waiting for her ahead. But in her heart, along with determination, there was also a longing for the unknown.
Wei Fei and Wu Pu stood behind her, their eyes carrying different emotions, but both sharing trust and expectation towards her.
Bei Lin'er turned around and smiled slightly at them, with a hint of inexplicable lightness in her smile: "Don't worry, I will return safely with the thousand-year purple lingzhi."
After saying that, she turned around, stepped steadily over the threshold, and set out on the journey to the Snake Valley. And the scars under her unique veil shimmered with an indomitable light in the sunlight.
Snake Valley, a place whose name speaks for itself, hidden deep within the Ba-Shu Mountains, surrounded by cliffs, with only a narrow mountain path leading into the valley. Bei Lin'er gracefully moves along the path, each step falling silently, as if afraid of disturbing the sleeping mountain forest.
The mountain road winds and twists, and occasionally the sound of snakes slithering can be heard among the leaves, sending shivers down one's spine. But Bei Lin'er remains unfazed, her gaze steady and her steps sure. She knows that these are just regular inhabitants of Snake Valley, and the real danger lies deeper within.
Finally, after half a day's trek, Bei Lin'er arrives at the mouth of the valley. The air here is filled with a strong scent of herbs and the smell of decaying vegetation, mixed with a hint of something pungent, causing one to furrow their brow.
She took out the ointment prepared for her by Wu Pu and thinly spread it on her clothes. This ointment was made from special herbs and could repel snakes and toxins. She also remembered to apply it on her wrists and neck to be prepared for any unexpected situations.
As she entered the snake valley, the view suddenly opened up to reveal a lush jungle. Various exotic flowers and plants competed for attention, but each one could potentially conceal deadly dangers.
Bei Lin'er cautiously made her way through the jungle, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, alert to any possible movement. In her ears, faint rustling sounds could be heard, the distinct slithering of snakes.
Suddenly, a flash of emerald green darted past her feet, and Bei Lin'er instinctively reacted, swiftly stepping back to avoid the sudden attack. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes; the snakes here were even more cunning than she had imagined.
At that moment, a soft hum came from not far away. Bei Lin'er turned to look and saw a man in a dark long robe standing nearby, his eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.
"It seems that the Snake Valley is not only dangerous because of snakes," Bei Lin'er said vigilantly, looking at the sudden appearance of the stranger. Her hand instinctively reached for the dagger at her waist.
The man, however, seemed completely unconcerned about her guard, and instead chuckled lightly, "I'm here to help you. You're Bei Lin'er, right? The new disciple of Benevolent Pavilion. I've heard about you."
Bei Lin'er raised an eyebrow. She didn't let her guard down, but she also didn't act immediately. She knew that in this unknown environment, any rash action could lead to deadly consequences.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Her voice carried a calm inquiry.
The man smiled slightly and approached leisurely. "I am Mo Wen, an herbalist in the area. As for your name, Benevolent Pavilion's reputation is well-known around here."
Bei Lin'er Upon hearing this name, there was a slight stir in her heart. She seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but couldn't recall. She decided to remain vigilant, while politely responding, "Mr. Mo Wen, since you are here to help, can you tell me where the thousand-year Purple Lingzhi is?"
A strange glint flashed in Mo Wen's eyes as he nodded gently, "Of course, but before that, I want to know if you have the ability to take away that thousand-year Purple Lingzhi."
Bei Lin'er felt a chill in her heart, knowing that there must be something fishy about this, but she had no way out. She took a deep breath and calmly replied, "I have the confidence."
Mo Wen smiled, seemingly satisfied with her answer. "Very well, then come with me."
He turned and led the way, with Bei Lin'er following closely behind, but she was pondering the true intentions of the man named Mo Wen. She knew that this journey was likely far more complicated than she had imagined.
As Mo Wen moved through the dense jungle of the Snake Valley, Bei Lin'er's mood became increasingly tense.
She knew that this man named Mo Wen was no ordinary herb gatherer; his pace was too leisurely, and he seemed to be familiar with the treacherous Snake Valley as if he knew it like the back of his hand.
Before long, they arrived at a vast open area. The vegetation here was much sparser than in the areas they had passed through before. Sunlight filtered through the sparse canopy, casting mottled patterns of light and shadow on the ground.
Mo Wen stopped and pointed to a large rock not far ahead. "The thousand-year Purple Lingzhi is just behind that rock. But you have to be careful, there is a Snake King that has been guarding the Lingzhi for many years."
Bei Lin'er's gaze was fixed firmly on the giant rock, and she could feel the subtle aura emanating from it, a kind of ancient and mysterious power. She knew deep down that this final test would be anything but easy.
She asked softly, "Mr. Mo, how much do you know about this Snake King? Are there any weaknesses to speak of?"
In Mo Wen's eyes, there was a hint of inexplicable light. He slowly said, "This Snake King is draped in purple and gold scales, possessing extremely potent venom and swift attacking power. Its weakness..."
He paused, seeming to consider whether to continue, "Its weakness is at the seven-inch mark, but you must seize the opportunity in the instant of its attack, otherwise..."
Bei Lin'er nodded, understanding the unspoken meaning of Mo Wen's words. This was a battle that required staking one's life.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her equipment, and then slowly walked towards the giant rock. Every step she took seemed particularly cautious, her eyes constantly searching for any possible movement around her.
As she approached the giant rock, suddenly, a huge snake shadow flashed out from behind the rock. It was a huge, purple-golden scaled Snake King. Its cold eyes were full of murderous intent, seeming to harbor great hostility towards any creature approaching its territory.
Bei Lin'er instantly drew the dagger from her waist, swiftly retreating to evade Snake King's attacks. Snake King moved with incredible speed, each strike accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, making it heart-stopping.
Through a series of evasions and counterattacks, Bei Lin'er gradually grasped Snake King's attack rhythm, a determined glint flashing in her eyes.
Finally, in a fierce attack by the Snake King, she found an opportunity. She rolled to dodge the Snake King's bite and then struck back with a precise and accurate stab, piercing the Snake King's weak spot.
The Snake King let out a mournful cry, its massive body rolling on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. Before long, its movements gradually ceased, and Bei Lin'er's tense body finally relaxed.
She walked behind the giant rock and saw the millennium purple lingzhi emitting a faint purple light. It grew quietly there, as if it were the guardian spirit of this land.
Bei Lin'er carefully collected the purple lingzhi, knowing that it was not only the key to completing the mission, but also the hope for a turning point for herself and Benevolent Pavilion in the future.
She turned to look at Mo Wen, only to find that he had disappeared into the woods at some point. She had a sudden realization that perhaps all of these trials were arranged by The Grandmaster.
Without lingering, Bei Lin'er knew she had more important things to do. She carefully stored the Purple Lingzhi and quickly left the Snake Valley, returning to Benevolent Pavilion to deliver the precious medicinal herb to Wei Renzhi and complete her mission.
