Yunhe calculated the timeline, and realized that the incident at Medicine King Valley occurred a little over a month ago. This meant that the people from the Vermilion Bird Kingdom were the ones who attacked Medicine King Valley. And they probably never imagined that the Resurrection Grass, which they had gone to so much trouble to obtain, would be stolen by a bounty hunter.
"Miss Yunhe, could this thing be from Medicine King Valley?" Baal asked, seeing Yunhe's worried expression.
Yunhe glanced at his master, and only spoke after his master nodded: "More than a month ago, Medicine King Valley was attacked by thieves who not only stole the resurrection grass but also injured the old valley master. That's why the young master left Wu City. I wonder how the old valley master is doing now?"
Upon hearing Yunhe's words, Baal handed the resurrection grass to Yunhe without hesitation: "This is from Medicine King Valley, please take it back, Miss Yunhe."
"This..." Yunhe was momentarily stunned. This was a priceless treasure that could bring the dead back to life, and Baal had taken it out so easily.
Baal scratched his head, grinned foolishly, and said, "Miss Yunhe, nothing is greater than a life-saving grace. You...you should accept it!"
"I accept this on behalf of the old Valley Master. Medicine King Valley will remember this kindness," Yunhe said gratefully, handing the resurrection grass to his master.
Qian Youxue stared at Baal for a moment. He was grateful and loyal; she liked dealing with people who valued loyalty. Coming back to her senses, she took the resurrection grass and waved it into her spiritual space.
Baal had already carefully observed this Snow Lady. She wasn't even wearing a spatial ring, and her belongings disappeared with a wave of her hand, indicating that she possessed even more powerful treasures. The woman the young master had taken a liking to was probably of high status and wealth; he'd better be careful in serving her.
Qian Youxue naturally noticed Baal's gaze, and with another wave of her hand, a porcelain bottle appeared in her hand, which she then placed in Baal's hand.
"Hurry up and thank your master!" Yunhe winked at Baal.
"Thank you, thank you, Master Xue!" Bal bowed gratefully to Qian Youxue, not addressing her as Yunhe did.
Qian Youxue spoke slowly and deliberately: "The pills you just took can help you break through your spiritual power, but you still need acupuncture to treat your old ailments."
Upon hearing his master's words, Yunhe immediately spoke up: "Baal, you're really lucky. Our master's needles aren't meant for just anyone."
Old ailments are common for cultivators, and they tend to become more pronounced with age. Therefore, he didn't seem to mind that Master Xue had noticed this.
Yunhe was worried for Baal, so he decided to be frank first: "Baal, our master is about to break through to the intermediate-level alchemist. Do you understand the importance of alchemists?"
Preparing to break through to the intermediate level, and so young?
Baal was somewhat incredulous, but then he thought about how young master was not old and was also a mid-level alchemist, and his mood quickly calmed down.
However, as a bounty hunter, he naturally knew the importance of alchemists.
The alchemist who was chasing him was also at the intermediate level. Xueye also had the support of Medicine King Valley, so Medicine King Valley was naturally no worse than Hundred Sparrow Pavilion.
“Baal, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it’ll be gone.” Yunhe anxiously approached Baal and said.
Baal's eyes lit up, and he obediently knelt on the ground: "Baal greets Master, may Master be blessed!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to Qian Youxue on the ground.
Qian Youxue suddenly stood up, stomped Baal to the ground, and then produced several silver needles in her hand. With a wave of her hand, she inserted the silver needles into the acupoints on Baal's back.
ah……
Barr roared in pain, trying to get up but finding himself too weak to move, he could only grit his teeth and endure the pain.
Hearing the shouts, Dahei, who was guarding the door, rushed inside. When he saw the king being trampled underfoot by a beautiful girl, he didn't care about the situation and swung his sword at Qian Youxue.
To everyone's surprise, Yunhe simply moved his finger, and Dahei was as if it were tied to the spot with a rope, waving its arms vigorously but unable to move its feet even half a step.
"If you don't want your king to go mad with evil spirits, then shut your mouth!" Yunhe shouted coldly. The worst thing about inserting acupuncture needles is having someone disturb you.
A short while later, Qian Youxue pulled the needles out of Baal's back, waved her hand to make him turn over, and then placed the needles on several acupoints on his body again.
These are the key areas, and the pain is significantly greater than before. Bal remained clenched his teeth, silent except for that initial scream.
He's a real man; he can endure such pain!
Qian Youxue gave it a mental thumbs up, then removed the needle at just the right moment and turned to sit down in the chair.
Seeing this, Yunhe also released Dahei beside him, stepped forward to pour his master a cup of tea, and wiped the sweat from his master's forehead.
Baal let out a long breath, moved his arms slightly, and found that the restriction had been lifted. He jumped up from the ground, full of energy.
He stood up, waved his hand to circulate his energy, and felt the flow of spiritual power. The pain in his old ailment was gone, and most importantly, the speed at which spiritual power gathered was much faster than before. He had consulted several alchemists before, but they all said that they could only alleviate the symptoms, not cure them.
So capable at such a young age, the young master's judgment is truly excellent. With such a powerful master, his good days are just around the corner.
Thinking this through, he knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Baal is willing to serve his master. Please forgive my offense just now!"
Big Black was a little confused and scratched his head in bewilderment.
"Get up. As long as you are loyal, I will not treat you unfairly. Tell me, what is the name of that alchemist, and where is he now?" Qian Youxue drank a cup of tea, then looked at the wine beside her and swallowed.
The fruit wine tastes really good. There are also spiritual fruits in the space. The book slave is so knowledgeable and talented, he should know how to make it. I'll have him get some to drink later.
“Master, if you like, Yunhe will brew some for you when we get back,” Yunhe said, seeing his master’s hesitant expression.
"Okay!" Qian Youxue wasn't an alcoholic, but she couldn't resist good wine.
Baal stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Look, everyone calls him Master Qi, but I don't know his full name."
“Qitian, when we met him last year, he had just broken through to the mid-level one-star. This man is wicked. Years ago, he caused a major incident in the White Tiger Kingdom and was later expelled from the White Tiger Kingdom, which is why he came to the Black Tortoise Kingdom. The young master said that such a person will suffer sooner or later.” Yunhe had heard of Qitian’s name before. He was known for his cunning and ruthless ways and had a bad reputation.
Even Wu Xie thinks someone is bad, so that person must be utterly rotten. Qian Youxue thought to herself that if it were a mid-level one- or two-star cultivator, she really wouldn't be afraid. However, that Hundred Sparrow Pavilion was not someone she could afford to offend, and she couldn't kill them openly.
