Chapter 34 It’s broken, it seems like I’ve grown a love brain!
After the last competition, some rest time was needed. Jiang Jiu couldn't disappear in front of everyone, so he could only accept their worship with a wooden face.
Then she witnessed a farce that made her despair.
Yes, that's right, the eldest brother who was drawn to play against her next opponent was surrounded by a group of people.
"Will you sell me the qualification to compete with Jiang Jiu?"
"Let's exchange opponents. My opponent is only at the Qi Refining Stage, so I can definitely help you advance."
"If you don't hand it over today, you'll be surrounded and killed by our sect!"
The bustling scene was like a vegetable market, with many powerful independent cultivators participating in it, hoping to get a chance to compete with Jiang Jiu from the big brother.
Jiang Jiu was silent.
If you don't know, you might think she is competing for the opportunity to meet and shake hands with an idol. Has her current position become a mascot?
How could she have deserved this?
Finally, Jiang Jiu couldn't stand the threats and inducements any longer.
The eldest brother huddled in the corner, trembling, without saying a word, holding the sign in his hand stubbornly.
It can be seen that he really wants to compete with me.
"Great Elder, I refuse to change my opponent."
Jiang Jiu's eyes were cold, and his calm voice spread throughout the venue. Finally, the big brother who was guarding the signature tightly relaxed.
He looked at Jiang Jiu with eyes full of gratitude.
The Great Elder also saw the entire process of Jiang Jiu's competition just now. Coupled with the recent rumors, anyone would think that Jiang Jiu was a person with a powerful background. He was a little scared now.
Thinking about how he had snatched Jiang Jiu's things, he secretly broke into a cold sweat. This was against the rules in the first place, so he just considered it as a favor.
"That's natural. Changing opponents isn't allowed anyway."
There are still many rounds of battles to come. Jiang Jiu doesn't want anyone to die because of this little thing, nor is he just trying to rescue that guy.
"Well, thank you, Great Elder."
Soon the next round of competition began, and Jiang Jiu could hardly wait to enter the small secret realm.
Although she has to face people, she feels more comfortable facing a group of people than facing one person.
"Thank you for the rescue."
The eldest brother's name was Xue Ping, and he was looking at her with gratitude on his face.
“No need.”
Jiang Jiu saw that Xue Ping's face did not have the extraordinary enthusiasm of the group of people outside, so she should not be regarded as a cuckold in the wishing well.
"Shall we start the competition?"
Ginger Wine asked.
"No, no, no, I also have something to ask of you."
As he spoke, Xue Ping's face showed a deep sense of shame.
"I don't seek techniques, guidance, or wealth. I came to participate in the competition to win some spirit stones to prolong my wife's life. She is seriously ill and has no chance of becoming an immortal."
"I've sought medical treatment countless times over the years, and I've used a lot of spiritual materials and treasures from the cultivation world, but I just can't get better."
"Having seen your abilities, I would like to ask for a way to heal my wife."
Jiang Jiu didn't expect that her elder brother was such a kind and righteous person. Even though she wasn't a doctor...she couldn't do anything about it...
However, considering that she might be her eldest brother's last straw, she silently asked Bai Ze for help.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Bai Ze's voice sounded like an old man lying in a rocking chair basking in the sun, leisurely and cheerful.
"Ask him what his symptoms are."
Bai Ze is an auspicious beast after all, so once he encounters it, he will not sit idly by.
"What symptoms does your wife have?"
Jiang Jiu and Xue Ping discussed medical issues for a while before Bai Ze slowly spoke.
"What a coincidence! In any other situation, I would be helpless, but this is no problem."
"A typical case of a powerful evil spirit invading the body. They haven't been dealt with in all these years. I'm afraid that group of people are unwilling to admit their own incompetence."
"I can handle it, and so can your senior brother."
Bai Ze suddenly revealed Yu Zimo's identity, which made Jiang Jiu stunned for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, it was normal. The auspicious beast and the ghost king are naturally opposed.
"Where she is, it can be solved."
Jiang Jiu never thought that he would be able to play the role of a doctor in his lifetime. It was a very novel experience.
"Really?! I give up, I give up, I give up. My wife is in a nearby inn. I've taken her with me wherever I go these years, fearing that something might happen to her alone."
Xue Ping's despairing body seemed to be injected with vitality, and he was so excited that his voice was trembling.
"Let's go."
Jiang Jiu's mood became complicated at this moment.
Seeing others being saved, she couldn't help but think of her own relatives. If she had met a kind-hearted god back then, would her grandma not have left her?
In the inn, Jiang Jiu stood beside Xue Ping's wife's bed and spoke to Xue Ping lightly.
"You can't stay."
Jiang Jiu didn't want to expose Bai Ze to her for the time being.
"Huh? Oh, okay, I'll go out now."
Xue Ping hesitated for a moment, obviously worried about his wife's safety, but thinking that this was the last resort, he could only grit his teeth and turn away.
"Miss, you are the miracle doctor Xue Ping found, right? I know my body condition well, and I can't get better. I can only linger on."
"He just doesn't want to give up, and he's bothering the girl to make this trip."
Xue Ping's wife was pale and skinny, but she still forced herself to apologize to Jiang Jiu.
"No, I can heal you."
Jiang Jiu was not so cruel as to ask the patient to kowtow to her out of gratitude before curing her. After saying this, she used magic to knock her unconscious.
"Are you afraid of trouble?"
Bai Ze made a 'tsk tsk' sound, like an old naughty boy.
"Hurry up and finish it, I have to go back to the competition."
Jiang Jiu could foresee that the situation would get worse. Fulfilling two people's wishes in a row, didn't this prove that she was the wishing well?
"She has a Heavenly Yin Bone in her body. No wonder such a powerful evil spirit could possess her."
Bai Ze took a quick look and knew what was going on.
"It's no problem to remove this evil spirit, but the Heavenly Yin Bone will continue to attract it. Girl, go ask the boy outside the door if he wants to extract the Heavenly Yin Bone as well."
Bai Ze's words made Jiang Jiu's scalp tingle.
"What are you doing? You're still trying to pull someone's bones."
Jiang Jiu complained.
"Of course, it's fine if she's willing to take this bone with her. It just so happens that she doesn't have more than two days left to live, so she'll definitely be a good candidate for a ghost cultivator after her death."
Bai Ze didn't care, as if it was none of his business. His nonchalant look didn't look like a lucky beast at all, which made Jiang Jiu so angry that his teeth itched.
"Okay, wait a minute and I'll ask."
Jiang Jiu had no choice but to go to Xue Ping to communicate.
"So, my wife is haunted by evil spirits because of the Tianyin Bone?"
Xue Ping muttered to himself as if he had some secret, but Jiang Jiu didn't want to pry into other people's privacy.
"Well, if it's extracted, she can cultivate normally, but it's only the talent of an ordinary person. If it's not extracted, she will turn into a spirit ghost with great talent and can cultivate the ghost way."
All the ascetics appear to have the same goal, but in the eyes of decent people, practicing ghost cultivation is ultimately a unorthodox path. At that time, this woman will have nowhere to go except the ghost realm.
Jiang Jiu didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Xue Ping understood it.
"Will it hurt?"
Xue Ping's expression gradually became firm, but he still asked the question he was most worried about.
"It doesn't hurt."
Bai Ze would not do such a bloody thing.
"Then take it out."
Xue Ping looked at Jiang Jiu with gratitude.
Although Bai Ze was weak, he was naturally resistant to evil spirits. An unknown twisted human figure was pulled out of Xue Ping's wife's body, and the roaring and screaming made Jiang Jiu take two steps back in fear.
"Little girl, you are so timid. You should learn from me."
Bai Ze also took the time to mock Jiang Jiu.
"Thank you for your suggestion, but I will not adopt it."
Jiang Jiu sneered back with a forced smile.
“I don’t know how to respect the elderly and love the young.”
While Bai Ze was arguing with Jiang Jiu, he had perfectly solved the evil spirit in Xue Ping's wife. A small shadow of Bai Ze appeared, swallowed the evil spirit into its stomach in one gulp, and burped.
In addition, something that looked like a rib was placed in Jiang Jiu's hand.
The Tianyin Bone feels cold and emits a dark aura.
"I don't want it. You can swallow this one too."
Jiang Jiu doesn't like unlucky things and hopes that all the pendants he wears can bring him wealth.
"I can't eat it, you keep it."
After that, Bai Ze stopped moving. Jiang Jiu felt for a moment and found that he had fallen asleep again...
Jiang Jiu rejected Xue Ping's various thanks and only asked for his wife's name before leaving.
Her name is Wang Chuan.
Wow, one word can make a huge difference in your life.
Wang Baochuan has been digging wild vegetables for eighteen years, but Xue Ping has been protecting her with all his might.
Oh no, it seems like I’m about to develop a love brain.
