These juvenile teenagers, who had benefited from the treatment, were quite perceptive. After taking the healing pills and resting for a while, they all took their leave.

Yi Ruowu slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes looking at Xiu Qiyu with gratitude: "Thank you for saving my life, Senior Brother. I will do my best to serve you in the future."

"Fairy Yi, you don't need to be so polite. Consider this my way of repaying the kindness you showed me before."

Is it that they don't want to be involved with themselves at all?

"Senior Brother is joking. It was just a small favor."

"It's alright, you can remember it if you want!"

Fortunately, Xiu Qiyu did not resolutely sever ties with her: "This time it was just bad luck of mine. I was injured by a prodigy of the Rhinoceros Demon Clan. I barely escaped, but I didn't expect to be targeted by this group of villains. It's also because my strength is insufficient."

Indeed, Yi Ruowu was originally one of the four great prodigies of the continent, a true prodigy, but now she is one or even two realms behind the others. With the birth of the heir to Saintess Peak, Yi Ruowu's brilliance is further overshadowed.

"Your injuries are not suitable for further combat. You should focus on healing first." Xiu Qiyu took out a Blood-Replenishing Pill, a Rejuvenating Pill, and a Qi-Replenishing Pill, all of which were top-grade medicines, and handed them to Yi Ruowu: "Use these pills!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Although these were just ordinary pills, those that Xiu Qiyu could take out were definitely not ordinary. Yi Ruowu did not doubt them and swallowed them directly before going into seclusion to heal her injuries.

This pill is 50% more effective than ordinary pills; these three pills are enough to restore half of her strength.

Ye Xiruo gripped the teacup in her hand tightly. This was her own medicine! How dare he use her medicine to please a woman? Ye Xiruo was very annoyed and wanted to rush up and beat Xiu Qiyu up.

"Tsk tsk! They really have a deep bond. Xiu Qiyu is protecting Fairy Yi."

"With Xiu Qiyu protecting her, Fairy Yi's life is safe."

“If Xiu Qiyu carries this burden, he can forget about leaving his name on the Heavenly Ranking,” Si Hao said coldly.

Indeed, it seems that Xiu Qiyu's points are far behind, not even in the top 5,000, which has surprised many people. Seeing Xiu Qiyu's current situation, the faces of the people sitting in the row are not very pleasant.

Out of sight, out of mind. Ye Xiruo turned her gaze directly to Zishu. As expected of the eldest brother, who was the illegitimate son of the Heavenly Dao, he had already scored over a thousand points after a nap and successfully entered the top thousand. However, he was not aware of this. The pairs of Fire Cloud Scorpions he sent out had not returned, and the outside world was still a yellow sand.

Zishu added a few more spirit stones to the ice array, took out a bunch of spirit fruits and placed them in the ice array to cool it down, then took out a plate of braised pork, a plate of spicy diced chicken, a bowl of pickled fish, and a serving of candied spirit fruits, placed them on the table, and began to eat.

Si Hao, Hua Rong, and Qing Zhiyi all looked at Ye Xiruo.

"You prepared this, didn't you?"

"Yes, I'm just worried that if my senior brother doesn't eat enough, it will affect his mood and his performance."

“He can take fasting pills.”

"It doesn't taste good, it will affect my mood."

"This is a complete waste of time." This is a battle of geniuses, not a picnic. This grand display tarnishes the image of the Pill King Palace by more than one level. Of course, the Master is a different story. The Master's stunning good looks, unparalleled strength, and heaven-defying luck are all worthy of being worshipped.

"Who said that? Look, the points are clearly increasing."

“The senior brother’s formation is not omnipotent. If it attracts a Nascent Soul cultivator, the senior brother will be in danger.”

"My senior brother has always been lucky, how could he be so unlucky?"

Zishu ate as usual, devouring several dishes in a flash. He then picked up a spiritual fruit from the ice array and started munching on it. Sure enough, it tasted better chilled.

Zishu ate seven or eight spiritual fruits before stopping. Just as he was about to put the remaining fruits into his spatial ring to eat later, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart, prompting him to react immediately and quickly transmit his true energy to Taishang.

The next second, Taishang and the Zishu inside were blasted into the sky. Taishang blocked most of the attack, while the Zishu only suffered some shock and fluctuations in its qi and blood, but did not suffer fatal damage.

But Zishu's cute baby face immediately darkened. His spiritual fruit was buried by the yellow sand. Which bastard attacked him? This bastard must have at least reached the Nascent Soul stage, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to break through all his formations in such a short time. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been killed by now.

Zishu beckoned with his finger, shrinking Taishang and bringing it back. He squinted at the scoundrel and said, "I misspoke. It wasn't human; it was a different race."

It looks human-like, except for its yellowish-brown eyes and the single horn on its forehead, it is not much different from humans.

This alien, shirtless with seven or eight rings on each arm, gave Zishu a sinister smile as he stood in mid-air.

"Laugh at your sister! He's so ugly!" Zishu didn't even think twice before drawing his sword and starting to fight. Humans and alien races are sworn enemies; when they meet, it's either you die or I live. There's nothing more to say.

Zishu was fast, but although this alien looked rather clumsy, he was very agile. Most of Zishu's swords landed in empty air, and the alien found the right moment to counterattack, so Zishu didn't gain any advantage either.

After a few tentative attacks, Zishu discovered that the alien's skin was exceptionally tough, like steel, and his swordsmanship couldn't even break through its defenses. Moreover, this alien was a whole realm higher than him.

Most people, if faced with this situation, would turn and run without hesitation; revenge is a dish best served cold. However, Zishu was furious, and he wouldn't easily let go of this culprit.

A jade longsword appeared in Zishu's hand, and his aura continued to rise, soon reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Interesting, little reptile."

The little crawler Zishu went completely berserk, disappearing from its spot. The alien race quickly released something resembling mental energy, trying to locate Zishu's whereabouts.

Zishu's sword pierced through the ring thrown by the alien race, penetrating its shoulder. The alien's small, chubby hands twisted it maliciously, and the sword disappeared into thin air once more, along with the flying sword.

Damn it, this is a natural skill of the ethereal body; others can only envy it. Next, Zishu succeeded twice more, leaving deep wounds on the alien's abdomen and thigh. The alien then gave up the search and activated its domain. Within this domain, nothing weaker than it could escape its notice. He wanted to see how long that reptile could hide.

Zishu didn't intend to hide any longer and showed himself openly.
