Meng Qi gently pressed Chu Tianfeng’s shoulder. Then she pinched some medicinal herbs she just took out, extracting their juices. The pale blue medicinal extract was lightly picked by her finger and fell on Chu Tianfeng’s wound. In an instant, the bitter pain seemed to fade away.

Chu Tianfeng’s mind gradually became clearer. He opened his eyes and looked at the girl standing very close to him. Her face was small, with fair cheeks without any powder applied. She was examining the wound on his shoulder intently, with full concentration, as if this was the only thing she ever cared.

His lips moved slightly. Chu Tianfeng wanted to say something, but a slight chill gradually spread on his shoulder. The pain of ten thousand needles tormenting him every hour now seemed to be not so unbearable. He closed his eyes again, not uttering a single word.

Meng Qi then activated a medical spell with her right hand.

Bit by bit, she probed around Chu Tianfeng’s wound. Now she was only a Qi Condensation cultivator, and her medical cultivation barely broke through the second rank, and she was unable to use stronger spells. But she was very proficient with first-grade medical spells. In the past six months after her rebirth, she had trained herself to become highly skilled and incomparable in those spells, far superior to any disciples of Qingfeng Valley.

Cultivation spells were also divided by grades. In addition to its own grade, each spell also has nine realms of strength, promoted via continuous usage. After the ninth realm, it was said that there was still even a stronger realm. But few people ever reach there.

Before Meng Qi died in her last life, she was already a fifth-rank medical cultivator. Even placed in this Three Thousand Worlds, her medical expertise was considered a pretty high-level healer that would be honored everywhere. Even if she went to a famous sect like Tianfeng Palace, she would be respected.

Meng Qi was indeed quite talented in medicine. Still, her strongest ability was the absolute proficiency in these low-grade spells that the majority of people wouldn’t even bother to put in their eyes, like the Qingfeng1 spell she was using now on Chu Tianfeng. This was a first-grade medical spell that almost every trained healer would be able to do. Even a cultivator still in the Qi Condensation stage would absolutely be able to learn this spell. But looking all around the world, there was probably no other Qi Condensation cultivator whose proficiency was on the same level as Meng Qi.

There were no shortcuts on learning spells. It solely depended on repeated use every day, a very tedious process. In the town at the foot of Qingfeng Valley, there were many non-cultivators. During this half-year, almost all injured or sick people there were treated by Meng Qi. She also went to cure injured small animals on Qingfeng Mountain. And when she had no patients to cure, Meng Qi would deliberately take some poison herself, just to practice this spell repeatedly.

So, although now she was only in the Qi Condensation stage and her medical cultivation was still in the second rank, her proficiency in Qingfeng spell was already in the fourth realm, enough to help dispel the poison in Chu Tianfeng body. However, it still needed some strenuous effort on her side.

Before an incense stick of time, Meng Qi promptly sat down, exhausted.

Still too difficult, ah.

Closing her eyes, Meng Qi took another pill from the storage space and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she activated another spell with both hands and sat cross-legged. The pill’s slightly cool aura slowly spread from her tongue and swam all over her body. Her spiritual aura that was originally exhausted slowly being recovered.

Chu Tianfeng opened his eyes again and looked at Meng Qi with a complicated expression. Although his cultivation was suppressed, he had long formed his golden core. He also came from a famous sect like Fentian Palace, so his knowledge was naturally not small.

Meng Qi was too weak!

A mere Qi Condensation cultivator, yet forcefully tried to dispel the poison from a fifth-rank devil beast, he knew how difficult was that.

Chu Tianfeng’s eyes flickered. Without blinking, he saw many beads of sweat slowly slipping down on Meng Qi’s cheek. What she used to detoxify his body was just a first-grade medical spell. Yet, in a mere incense stick of time, she couldn’t hold it anymore.

Cultivators relied on spiritual aura to use cultivation spells, and Qi Condensation cultivators had the fewest aura on their bodies. Even cultivators at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage could only use first-grade spells at most ten times before their aura became empty.

However, Meng Qi’s spiritual aura was exhausted after only seven or eight usages, which meant that her cultivation was probably on the seventh or eighth realm of the Qi Condensation stage.

Chu Tianfeng silently thought, his eyes subconsciously fell on the girl’s fair skin. The coldness from the cold pond permeated the area, and the mist was filling all over the mountain peak. Inside the mist, Meng Qi, this money-loving girl, didn’t look as annoying as before. Instead, she looked a little bit like… immortal fairy? There was a thin layer of sweat on her face. Even now, a drop of sweat was sliding down her cheek then finally dripping along her small jaw …

Almost subconsciously, Chu Tianfeng raised his hand, trying to catch this crystal drop of sweat. He forgot that he was still soaking in the cold pond. Right after he moved his hand, the water splashed with a sound. Meng Qi, who previously had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.

There was a shining ray in her gaze.

“Your poison broke out again?” She frowned slightly, her eyebrows curled up delicately, very cute.

“Although this cold pond can suppress the poisonous aura, thus made it easier for me to detoxify, but poison from a high-rank devil beast has a trace of spiritual sense.” Although Meng Qi was talking about a serious topic, her voice was still very soft.

“So during this treatment process, the poison may attack more frequently.” She reached out to her storage bracelet, took out a blue pill, and handed it to Chu Tianfeng.

“My spiritual aura won’t be recovered for some time. You will feel more comfortable if you eat this.”

Chu Tianfeng silently took the pill. Even before he could deliver it into his mouth, he could already smell a comfortable medicinal fragrance. Actually, the poison was still dormant now, and even if it was attacking again, he could bear it. But Chu Tianfeng said nothing. He couldn’t tell Meng Qi what he was going to do just now.

Chu Tianfeng took a look at the girl and once again closed his eyes. The sweat beads had long since disappeared, and he felt ridiculous. Just now, as if being enchanted, how could he subconsciously made such a move.

Obviously, although her medical skill was not bad, this was a girl who loved money like her own life. Compared with her, he preferred a kind and simple girl like Lu Qingran. She was so brave. Even though she knew that she wasn’t the devil beast’s opponent, even though she knew that he was much stronger than herself, but when faced with danger, she rushed out to block the devil beast with her own body.

Even without her heroic deeds, Lu Qingran was much more lovely than Meng Qi. It was interesting to chat with her, and she had broad knowledge. She wasn’t like a typical disciple of a small sect like Qingfeng Valley. Since their meeting, the two have been getting along with each other. During their travel, they never had to worry about finding a topic of conversation.

After thinking about Lu Qingran, Chu Tianfeng’s expression softened again.

Did she already wake up? She had received a great fright.

As soon as he remembered her pale face, Chu Tianfeng couldn’t help but feel distressed.

When Meng Qi opened her eyes, she saw Chu Tianfeng’s distressed face. Without a word, she once again put her hand on his shoulder. They repeated this process many times. Meng Qi would dispel his poison, then replenishing her spiritual aura. This tedious and boring process had long become her habit.

Time seemed to pass quickly, but also seemed to run very slowly. Countless bright stars filled the mountain sky. Then, the sun rose again, and a new day slowly came. One day and one night were passed like this.

Chu Tianfeng still has to endure the pain of ten thousand needles every hour. But during that time, Meng Qi kept applying medicinal extracts continued by Qingfeng spell on his shoulder. Like spring breeze, she eased his pain again and again. Each time, the poisoning pain became less severe than before. In the end, Chu Tianfeng could use the coldness from the cold pond to resist the pain that penetrating his bones, without even gnashing his teeth.

“Half of your poison has been detoxified.” Meng Qi said, retracting her hands. She wobbled a little when standing up, obviously exhausted. Yet, her expression relaxed.

“I don’t have the remaining herbs you need, nor does the sect.” Meng Qi stood by the cold pond. “You can come up now.”

After that, Meng Qi stretched her limbs and moved her body. This one day and one night, although it was hard, her harvest was still quite big. Her Qingfeng spell that was originally already in the fourth realm rapidly grew, probably because she used it on a fifth-rank poison. Meng Qi’s gaze even had a trace of regret when she looked at Chu Tianfeng.

When a spell reached the third realm, it became very difficult to be promoted higher. From the first realm to the second realm may only take half a month. Second to the third realm, maybe two months.

If Meng Qi didn’t have the experience from her previous life, thus made her already developed her own understanding about these low-grade spells, even if she continued practicing the spell day and night without any regards for her own spiritual aura, it would probably take her two to three years to reach the fourth realm. And to get above the fourth realm, it was even more difficult. But this time, in order to treat Chu Tianfeng’s poison, Meng Qi felt that her Qingfeng spell has been greatly improved. With this pace, she might get another breakthrough in half a month.

Chu Tianfeng has returned to the dry land, still half-naked. The young man’s body was slender and straight. Silently he wore back his clothes. His black robe was also a magic treasure. He managed to escape from the devil beast’s claws, was mostly thanks to the robe given by his father.

Chu Tianfeng took a glance at Meng Qi. This one day and one night they spent together made him a little inexplicable. When he came here yesterday, he was still disdainful, full of mockery towards her. He simply wanted to see what trick this money-loving girl would play. Was this just another way to deliberately attract his attention? Anyway, at that time, he was sure that Meng Qi could not cure him.

But now….

Chu Tianfeng didn’t know what to say.

…She really could cure him.

If Chu Tianfeng still didn’t understand this point, he was unworthy of the Young Palace Master title from Fentian Palace.

“You …” Chu Tianfeng pursed his dry lips. With a sudden impulse, he said, “Do you want to come to Fentian Palace?”

“Eh?” Meng Qi turned her head and looked at Chu Tianfeng in surprise. She certainly knew about Fentian Palace. One of the top ten ranked sect in the Eastern Realm. The difference with Qingfeng Valley was like heaven and earth.

“Some elders in our sect specialized in the medical cultivation and also respected by other sects.” Although he already regretted it a bit, Chu Tianfeng bit the bullet and went on. “If you want, I can give you a referral.”

Since he was the Young Palace Master, he had this right. In other words, as the future Palace Master, Chu Tianfeng still did not need to worry about the affairs in his sect and just concentrate on his cultivation. But now, he really felt that Meng Qi was worth being recruited. He was the Young Master of Fentian Palace. He was too clear what it meant for a Qi Condensation cultivator to dispel the poison from a fifth-rank devil beast.

Chu Tianfeng found more and more logical reasons. When he spoke again, even his voice was a little excited: “There are countless spells ready to be studied in Fentian Palace, and we also have a special medical library. After you joined our sect, you can read them.”

“What?” For a moment, Meng Qi was moved. The benefits a large sect could give her was obvious to her.

But…

That’s only if she had the luck to go, ah.

Meng Qi took a bamboo slip from her bosom and quickly wrote something. Then she handed the bamboo slip to Chu Tianfeng, who was looking at her with doubtful eyes.

“I know you can’t take out so many spirit stones now.” Meng Qi said. Five sixth-grade spirit stones were not a small number, and Chu Tianfeng’s storage space has been destroyed by the devil beast. “So, sign this IOU first.”
