Inside the room in the courtyard, under the flickering candlelight.
Two figures sat cross-legged on the bed, and two other figures stood to the side.
Qin Xin was helping Jin Yuanbao heal his severed meridians. After a long period of depletion of his true energy, he was quite exhausted. Jin Yuanbao, in front of him, had his pale lips begin to turn rosy and his face had regained some color after the treatment.
"call……".
Qin Xin let out a long breath, his internal energy stopped circulating, and he slowly opened his eyes, his face looking somewhat solemn.
"Boss, how is it? Yuanbao, he..."
Shangguan Lingyan, who was anxiously waiting nearby, quickly stepped forward to support Jin Yuanbao and asked softly.
"This is troublesome. Judging from their appearance, this group is determined to completely cripple Yuanbao. They're ruthless and decisive in their attacks!"
Qin Xin was somewhat surprised by this result, and said with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Sigh, boss, forget it. I'm content to have escaped with my life."
Jin Yuanbao looked at Qin Xin's appearance, shook his head, and said.
However, there was a hint of helplessness and resentment in his voice. Now, thanks to Qin Xin's treatment, Jin Yuanbao can get out of bed and walk again and his life will be fine. However, because many small meridians cannot be restored, his body's energy channels cannot function properly, making cultivation a problem.
"Don't worry, if I remember correctly, there seems to be a fifth-grade pill called the Meridian-Regenerating Pill. It can restore both broken meridians and bones to their original state. However, this pill is extremely precious..."
The man standing to one side, Ma Wen, suddenly spoke up.
"A fifth-grade elixir, the Bone-Regenerating Pill?" Qin Xin murmured softly.
"That fifth-grade pill is such a precious thing. Even my family only has one. I am just a dispensable illegitimate child. They will not give me this pill."
Upon hearing Mo Wen's words, Jin Yuanbao suddenly became somewhat carefree, as if he had seen through something. He looked tenderly at Shangguan Lingyan beside him and said, "As long as Lingyan doesn't mind me, that's enough."
"How could that be? Even if you are bedridden for the rest of your life, I am willing to take care of you for the rest of my life."
As Shangguan Lingyan and Jin Yuanbao gazed at each other, a deep affection filled the room. Although Qin Xin was not a virgin, seeing this scene, he scratched his head and smiled in a similar manner to the Mo people.
"Cough, cough, I'll figure out a way to get the Bone-Regenerating Pill. Now that I've joined the Black Dragon City Pill Tower, maybe they have it there."
Qin Xin spoke up, interrupting the two who were deeply in love.
Jin Yuanbao and Shangguan Lingyan gave awkward smiles, but there was nothing to hide. Everyone knew that the two had already developed feelings for each other.
"But now, it's time to make those people pay the price!"
Qin Xin stepped forward and patted Jin Yuanbao on the shoulder. As he spoke, a murderous intent surged forth, and a sharp, bluish-red glint flashed in his eyes.
~~~~~~
In the spacious and luxurious room of the Weapon Academy, more than a dozen people sat in a very pleasant atmosphere, with flattering voices constantly echoing in the room.
"Master, this Heart Nourishing Pill is really effective. We sell thousands of them every day in our Weaponry Academy alone."
The Sword Clan Academy member, standing beside a large round table, excitedly reported to the person seated at the head of the table.
"If sales are good, then we can raise prices appropriately."
The person who sat in the first seat had a smug look on his face.
"Haha, with Chief Heng here, it's only a matter of time before our Sword Clan dominates this outer courtyard."
The flattery was so effective that Heng Hua, who was sitting in the first seat, had a big smile on his face.
After Lin Jinglei entered the inner courtyard, the Sword Gang in the outer courtyard fell into Heng Hua's hands. It must be said that Heng Hua is quite capable. Not long after taking over the Sword Gang, he has raised its overall strength by more than one level. In addition, the effects of the Nourishing Heart Pill in his hands make other gangs in the outer courtyard dare not oppose him, for fear of losing the pill's attack.
As for the Star Sea Gang, which was originally able to keep pace with the Sword Gang, it is now defunct in name only due to Jiang Xinghai's departure, and many former Star Sea Gang students have even joined the Sword Gang.
For a time, the Sword Gang had become unruly within the Weaponry Academy, and some weaker students were even forced to pay protection money.
As for why the academy remained indifferent, the main reason was that Heng Hua not only had the support of the inner academy members, but also, within the outer academy, the person who could obtain extremely high benefits from the Sword Gang was Jia Yan, the dean of the Weaponry Academy.
A large portion of the cultivation resources plundered by the Sword Clan ended up in Jia Yan's pocket.
"I heard Qin Xin has returned from the inner courtyard. If he finds out we stole the pill formula..."
One of the Sword Clan members, still lucid, expressed his concerns amidst the excitement of the crowd.
Upon hearing this, the spacious room fell silent. Qin Xin's battle with Lin Jinglei had made everyone acknowledge Qin Xin's strength from the bottom of their hearts.
"What's the panic? He's already an inner court member. How can he possibly have any say in our outer court?"
"With Dean Jia here, who dares to touch our Sword Gang?"
Heng Hua, who was seated at the head of the round table, turned somewhat cold upon hearing Qin Xin's name.
Inside the Black Dragon City Pill Tower, he happened to run into Qin Xin entering. He originally wanted to trick Qin Xin, but he didn't expect that Qin Xin was already a third-grade alchemist, which made him even more jealous.
Although he was worried that Qin Xin would retaliate if he found out that he had made a move against the people around him, he was not afraid. His Sword Gang had powerful backers, and if Qin Xin dared to come, he would not be able to leave unscathed.
"Bang!"
Just as Heng Hua's name was uttered, the spacious room door burst open, and after the red flames subsided, a face like that of a god of death was revealed before the people at the round table.
"Who dares? I dare!"
Qin Xin snorted angrily, staring intently at Heng Hua, who was sitting in the first seat.
"Qin Xin! How dare you cause trouble in my Sword Clan? Aren't you afraid of the inner court's punishment?!"
Heng Hua was terrified when he saw Qin Xin's murderous figure, but he dared not show his fear in front of the Sword Gang students, so he shouted loudly to cover it up.
"Hmph! Punishment?"
Qin Xin let out a cold snort.
Qin Xin was aware of some of the rules of the inner courtyard, one of which was that one could not attack disciples of the outer courtyard at will. If one violated this rule, the various peaks within the inner courtyard would deal with the matter, with punishments ranging from thirty spirit lashes to expulsion from the Eastern Wilderness Academy. This could be considered a form of protection for the weaker disciples of the outer courtyard.
However, Qin Xin was alone on the main peak of Kunmen, so the punishment was up to him. This is why Qin Xin gave up the peaks with richer spiritual energy and chose the main peak with less spiritual energy.
"Click!"
A surge of violent true energy erupted from Qin Xin's acupoints, causing the round table in front of him to burst into flames and shatter into several pieces.
"Qin Xin, how dare you!..."
"ah!"
A cry of pain echoed throughout the room, and Qin Xin's figure left an afterimage as his fist, the size of a sandbag, slammed directly into Heng Hua's face before anyone could react.
