Overwhelmed by the surge of qi and blood, Chi Mei couldn't withstand it and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chi Mei stared in shock at the blood on the ground; there was a Gu worm inside.
She looked up abruptly, staring at Zhang Fan in disbelief: "When?"
This is her Gu worm, which she has been raising on her body, clinging tightly to her flesh. At first glance, it just looks like a black mole.
When did Zhang Fan take the Gu worm away, and when did he administer it to her?
She had been paying attention to Zhang Fan's every move, yet she hadn't noticed anything.
Looking at Chi Mei's constantly changing expressions, Zhang Fan smiled slightly: "Give up, you simply can't understand it."
Enraged, Chi Mei glared at Zhang Fan through gritted teeth: "Our Miao village will not let you get away with this."
"Oh?" Zhang Fan drawled, staring at a certain spot past Chi Mei. "Are you talking about her?"
Chi Mei suddenly turned around and saw a woman walking out of the shadows behind the water tank on the top floor.
The woman's slender, fair feet touched the ground, and the bells hanging on her body jingled together.
She was dressed in the same clothes as Chi Mei, carrying a dark blue cloth bag. Her amber eyes were as clear as mountain spring water, and she had a baby face with chubby cheeks.
When Chi Mei saw the person who had arrived, her eyes were filled with terror: "Chi...Chi Fei."
Chi Fei smiled slightly, her eyes curving into crescents, and two deep dimples appeared on her cheeks: "Chi Mei, I've been looking for you everywhere."
Chi Mei's body trembled uncontrollably, her voice trembling with sobs: "I was wrong, please forgive me."
Chi Fei tilted her head, her eyes wide and innocent, and said, "Sister, what are you saying? Your family is waiting for you. Come with me."
Chi Mei screamed in despair, "Zhang Fan, please save me! Kill her, and I'll teach you the secret technique."
Zhang Fan sneered, "You were trying to kill me just now."
Chi Mei's last hope was shattered when she suddenly heard Zhang Fan say, "However, I am interested in secret techniques."
"Yes, save me." Chi Mei desperately grasped at the last straw.
Chi Fei and Zhang Fan's eyes met. She looked completely harmless and gave Zhang Fan a sweet smile: "I know you. You know the Nine Life-Saving Needles. Give me the book and the person, and I have what you want."
Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow: "Could it be your body?"
Chi Mei's heart sank instantly. She finally understood that Zhang Fan had no intention of saving her at all, but wanted more.
Chi Fei's face flushed red. She took out a jade bead from her bosom and showed it to her in her palm: "My Miao secret techniques are useless to you, but the bead from the Wuji Scripture is a perfect match for you. You're guaranteed to make a profit in this deal."
Zhang Fan sneered: "This thing is probably useless to you, isn't it?"
Chi Fei's sweet smile froze for a moment; she hadn't expected Zhang Fan's mind to work so quickly.
She thought for a moment with a sigh, then took out a porcelain bottle from her cloth bag: "This is the Gu King, which can cure all poisons. I nurtured it with my heart's blood for twenty years."
Zhang Fan didn't answer: "You should know that I can cure any poison."
Chi Fei smiled sweetly again and tossed a bright green pill to Zhang Fan: "Of course you can cure ordinary poisons, but you may not be able to cure the one mixed with my poisonous blood. Moreover, the Soul Transfer Technique is also a kind of poison."
Zhang Fan held the pill to his nose and sniffed it. He recognized most of the ingredients, but there were a few he had never heard of before.
Curious, he asked, "What kind of medicine is it?"
Chi Fei seemed to have anticipated this: "This is a poisonous herb from my Miao region, it's not found anywhere else. Shall we make a deal?"
This knowledge was beyond Zhang Fan's common sense. Not only did the Miao region have poisonous herbs he was unaware of, but they also knew about the "Wuji Jing": "What exactly is the Miao region?"
Chi Fei smiled mysteriously: "You will definitely go in the future. I will explain to you slowly then. Now I am going to take the traitor from Miao territory away."
Chi Mei trembled like a leaf, her previous arrogance completely gone.
Little did she know that Chi Fei had been there all along, observing from the sidelines.
Just as Chi Mei was whipping Zhang Fan up, he noticed there was another person on the top floor.
When Chi Mei unleashed her whip, the man tried to save Zhang Fan, but seeing that Zhang Fan was unharmed, she retreated.
She was curious about Zhang Fan's abilities, so she kept a low profile and observed him secretly.
Zhang Fan held the ancient book in his hand and asked the question that had been bothering him: "How do you know about the Wuji Jing?"
Chi Fei smiled mysteriously, winked mischievously, and said playfully, "We'll talk about it next time we meet."
She stepped forward, took the ancient book, and placed the jade bead and the Gu worm in Zhang Fan's palm.
Chi Fei also had a fragrance, but it was very faint and had a unique scent that made one feel as if they were bathing in the morning sun after the rain.
As soon as the jade bead landed in Zhang Fan's palm, it merged into his flesh and blood. He felt his bones being torn apart and reshaped, and every pore being cleansed, directly advancing him to the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage.
With his physical strength enhanced once again, Zhang Fan felt an endless power surging within him.
Just as Zhang Fan was absorbing the spiritual energy of the jade bead, Chi Fei threw something on the ground.
Smoke billowed up, and Zhang Fan immediately retreated, getting out of the area.
When the smoke dissipated, Chi Fei and Chi Mei had vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.
The noise from the ward downstairs started again. Zhang Fan stretched and walked downstairs.
In the hospital ward, a man in a suit and tie showed everyone a debt contract.
The loan agreement stated that Wei Lai owed 100 million yuan, which even Leng Juan, who came from a wealthy family and had been pampered since childhood, found unbelievable.
Wei Qing always pretended to be well-behaved in front of his elders, but unexpectedly he had accumulated a huge gambling debt.
