"Stop!" Fang Ruotang rushed in to stop them.
She was afraid that if she was a step too late, something might really happen to Xun Zhu's soul, and then she wouldn't be able to explain it to Valley Master Du, after all, Valley Master Du had treated her with such courtesy.
She's ruthless when it comes to those who treat her badly, like the Illusionary Sect, but she's too embarrassed to be so rude to those who treat her well.
She's a person who cares about her reputation.
Fang Ruotang jumped up and slapped Zhuang Xinghe hard on the back of the head.
The blow made Zhuang Xinghe see stars, and he was momentarily dazed. He didn't even see who had attacked him before he roared angrily.
"Who is it? Who dares to ambush me? Don't they have a death wish? Do they even know who I am?"
"Oh, who are you?" Fang Ruotang asked in a cool voice, her eyes filled with malice as she stared at Zhuang Xinghe.
Zhuang Xinghe was taken aback. Why did that voice sound so familiar?
Face the insidious villains who appear out of nowhere.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing.
He immediately shouted "Mommy!" and jumped up.
It is a soul, so it has little weight.
So frightened, his soul almost floated three miles away.
Looking at his startled expression, Fang Ruotang sneered and asked, "Now can you tell me who you are? You've got some nerve, daring to call yourself 'Young Master' to me."
Zhuang Xinghe's head was still spinning, and he didn't dare to go forward, fearing that Fang Ruotang would attack him again.
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! If I had known it was you, I would never have dared to disrespect you, even if you killed me." Zhuang Xinghe smiled ingratiatingly at Fang Ruotang.
"Heh!" Fang Ruotang sneered, then glanced at Xun Zhu.
The soul was teetering on the brink of collapse, shattered into pieces.
Fang Ruotang was furious.
Visiting someone's home and beating their most beloved disciple to the point of near death—is that something a human being would do?
"Come here, I'll talk to you and I won't hit you," Fang Ruotang beckoned to Zhuang Xinghe.
Zhuang Xinghe was skeptical. "You really won't hit me?"
"Yes, come here now and I won't hit you, but if you dare to dawdle any longer, it won't be as simple as just hitting you."
Zhuang Xinghe walked hesitantly to Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang's expression changed instantly. She pulled out a whip from her magic bag and lashed out at Zhuang Xinghe with a few quick lashes.
Zhuang Xinghe was beaten so badly he was like a monkey, howling and running around in a panic.
"Aaaaaah! Master, why did you hit me? Give me a reason! What did I do wrong? Why did you hit me?"
"You still ask me why I hit you? I'd like to ask you, do you even know whose territory you're on right now?"
"Huh?" Zhuang Xinghe looked completely dumbfounded.
"You're standing on Medicine King Valley's territory now, and you're bullying Medicine King Valley's disciples. Do you think you can come in upright and leave horizontally?"
It would be difficult to explain to Medicine King Valley if they turned back.
It would be better for her to take the initiative to teach Zhuang Xinghe a lesson; at least if she were to hit him, she could control the force.
Fang Ruotang, who had never given birth, suddenly understood a skill that most parents possess, almost without being taught.
That means if your own mischievous child makes a mistake, you should give them a beating before anyone else does anything; that way, others won't feel comfortable pursuing the matter further.
Fang Ruotang has absolutely no desire to fall out with the people of Medicine King Valley, okay?
But Du Zhong's high regard for this apprentice is evident in every aspect.
If Xunzhu, who had barely managed to retain a sliver of her soul, were to disappear from this world because of her, it would be a mercy for Du Zhong not to fight her to the death.
Zhuang Xinghe finally belatedly realized why he had been beaten so badly.
He glared menacingly at Xun Zhu, who was watching the scene unfold, and roared fiercely.
"You treacherous and cunning villain! No wonder you wanted to fight me; you were waiting for this all along! How dare you frame me like this?"
Fang Ruotang rubbed her temples speechlessly, looking at Zhuang Xinghe who was jumping around.
Now I finally understand why his parents were so worried about him.
So all these years, all I've grown in height has been height, but not brains!
Is Xunzhu sick?
They used his life to frame Zhuang Xinghe.
"Sect Leader Fang has misunderstood. Zhuang Xinghe and I were having a friendly sparring session."
Xun Zhu was also taken aback, not expecting that Fang Ruotang had come out to beat someone up for this reason.
"Listen to this! What a fine young man Xun Zhu is! Even after being beaten like this, he's still speaking up for you! You don't know how to hold back at all."
Looking at Xun Zhu's injured soul, Fang Ruotang couldn't bring herself to say that their sparring was friendly.
The exchange of blows was genuine, but it was also true that they didn't know their own strength.
Fang Ruotang raised her hand, intending to heal Xun Zhu's injuries, but quickly realized that Xun Zhu was free and not under her control.
The fact that she can use both spiritual and ghostly powers simultaneously could cause trouble if it gets out of hand. Most importantly, she is also adept at using demonic and monster powers.
Most people cannot accept things outside their understanding, and Fang Ruotang did not want to cause any trouble. She raised her hand and paused for a moment, and a pill appeared in her palm.
Xun Zhu was surprised to see Fang Ruotang use a fifth-grade spiritual pill right away.
He had witnessed his master refine seventh and eighth-grade elixirs in Medicine King Valley, so he was not surprised by the fifth-grade elixirs, but by the fact that she casually gave them away.
"Thank you, Sect Master Fang, but I am currently unable to absorb the spiritual energy in the pill. Although this pill is good, it is not useful to me for the time being."
Xun Zhu expressed his gratitude gently and reiterated, "It was I who took the initiative to ask Zhuang Xinghe to spar with me, so Sect Master Fang need not take it to heart; this matter has nothing to do with him."
He didn't speak up immediately because he didn't know why Fang Ruotang was attacking Zhuang Xinghe at the time, and as an outsider, he shouldn't interfere in the affairs of other sects.
But now that we know the matter was caused by him, there are some things that need to be made clear.
"Didn't your master research a pill that ghost cultivators could use? The process should be the same, right? One contains spiritual energy, and the other contains ghost energy?"
[Little mirror, am I right?]
"What you say is true, but Du Zhong isn't a ghost cultivator, nor does he possess ghost power. He can only refine pills containing spiritual energy."
Xunzhu gave a similar answer to Xiao Jingzi's question.
Fang Ruotang seemed to be deep in thought.
Does this mean I can refine pills that ghost cultivators can consume? Are there many ghost cultivators in this area? Can I get rich?
[Yes! And there are also demon cultivators and evil cultivators.]
Demonic cultivators are one thing, but monster cultivators are another.
After all, she herself has a spirit beast, which she would need to use if she were injured in battle one day.
Without elixirs, how will they heal their injuries?
They directly consume medicinal herbs, elixirs, and fruits with therapeutic effects.
Fang Ruotang thought about it and agreed.
Da Mei always chews them raw. Before the spiritual herbs, medicines, and fruits are refined, everyone can take them and they all have therapeutic effects.
This is why so many powerful demons guard those rare and precious treasures; they also have their own needs.
