Chapter 229 Good Medicine
Qing Qizi arrived shortly afterward, carrying a bamboo basket full of spiritual herbs. Behind him followed a disciple of the same Celestial Race as him, whose hair was entirely white.
Seeing that Shanwu and Jirong were barely alive, Qingqizi treated their wounds and asked, "Junior sister, what happened?"
After Qingqizi treated Shanwu's neck, the bleeding stopped quickly. Ji Rong watched from the side as Qingqizi's disciple applied medicine to her wings.
Upon hearing Qi Zi's question, Ji Rong's entire bird body relaxed, and she replied in a weak voice, "Senior brother, we killed Liao Gang and Bao Wu at the unloading workshop. Find me a secluded house and a spring of spiritual water. We need to heal our wounds quickly."
I'll tell you the rest when I'm feeling better.
Upon hearing this, Qingqizi inwardly applauded and said no more.
He was an experienced cultivator, and immediately followed Ji Rong's request, instructing his disciples to move out a spiritual spring, clear the surrounding area, carve stones, build a simple house around the well, and set up a magic array around it to prevent outsiders from peeping.
Qingqizi treated Ji Rong and Shan Wu's wounds on this side, and the house at Lingquan was also completed.
Qingqizi personally helped Ji Rong and Shan Wu into the room and said, "You both have serious injuries, so don't soak for too long. Junior sister, especially you, you are a bird, and you won't be able to get up if you soak for too long."
"You two get some rest. I'll come back to see you in six hours."
Ji Rong nodded weakly and said, "Senior brother, go ahead and have Senior Brother Qing Guangzi send me some good pills. We need to get better quickly!"
Qing Qizi frowned and said, "Junior sister, many pills contain poison. How could Qing Guangzi be as willing as I am to use them?"
I have just fed you a lot of rare and precious foods, and you have also taken some of the ginseng rootlets from the old ginseng. You should be much better by tonight.
"Don't worry, your senior brother will come to see you later."
After saying that, Qingqizi placed the array token in Ji Rong's hand and floated away.
After taking the medicine, Shan Wuyi entered the room and fell into a deep sleep. Seeing that Qing Qizi had left, Ji Rong immediately shut off the array in the outer room. She moved to the side of the spirit spring, transformed into a tree trunk, and plunged her broken roots into the spirit spring, frantically absorbing its essence.
The golden leaves at the top of the tree trunk wrapped around it like a silkworm cocoon, where the Mountain and Water God was still sleeping. On the belly of the mountain and water, there was a pile of storage rings, which contained all of Ji Rong's treasures.
The abundant spiritual energy in the spring nourished Ji Rong's damaged root system, causing her to quickly grow new roots and shoots.
The new roots are delicate and fragile when they first sprout. They gradually grow, like newly grown stubble, hanging down in the spiritual spring at different lengths. Five hours later, the blood hole on Ji Rong's wings had mostly healed, and the new roots had also grown, but they were not as thick as before.
"What a huge loss! What a huge loss!" Ji Rong, who had just woken up, stood by the spiritual spring. She waved her weakened tree roots and couldn't help but wail to herself.
The wailing woke Shan Wu, who was sleeping beside him. He opened his sleepy eyes and chuckled, "Nephew, I've hit the jackpot. If it weren't for you, your uncle would have been sucked dry by that scruffy cat."
Ji Rong glanced at Shan Wu, shook her head, and said, "It was foolish of me to save you."
Shan Wu disagreed with this statement. He looked at Ji Rong seriously and said, "Nephew, I'm the fool. You're not foolish. You're brave."
Looking at Shan Wu's broken state, Ji Rong suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if she had survived a calamity, and laughed heartily.
The landscape within the leaf seemed to sense her joy. It turned over, swept away the storage rings piled on its body, grinned, and continued to sleep.
Ji Rong sensed the movement in the leaves and quickly transformed back into a bird, hiding the Mountain and Water God on her back.
Six hours later, Qingqizi arrived as promised, accompanied by Elder Shen this time.
They didn't bring any attendants or disciples; instead, they linked arms and personally changed Shan Wu's medicine.
After the medicine was changed, Qingqizi took out some spiritual food and placed it on the stone platform by the spiritual spring, saying, "Junior sister, tell me."
Ji Rong then omitted the part about delivering meat to Yaochi, and revealed everything else that could be said.
Finally, Ji Rong said, "Senior Brother Qingqi, this is how things went. That Liao Gang is truly despicable. He asked for Uncle Shan Wu's method of making a living, but then refused. If we don't kill him, how can we establish ourselves in the Xie Fang?"
"And Leopard Five too, she's already jumped out. If we don't kill her, how can we escape?"
Qing Qizi had no objection to this. He greatly admired his junior sister's ability to cause trouble; in a short period of time, she had killed two royal-level butchers painstakingly trained by the Yaochi Kitchen.
They certainly didn't die unjustly. Such things often happen in the Unloading Workshop, but this time it was the cultivators from Jade Void Palace who won, which is a great thing.
Qing Qizi immediately praised, "Junior Sister has great courage. She was able to use her kingly body to ambush Leopard Five from the ruins. If it were any other cultivator, they would probably have run far away by now."
Ji Rong waved her claws repeatedly and said, "I also took advantage of being a bird to ambush Leopard Five after that. Even so, I was still covered in wounds."
After listening to this, Elder Shen asked in surprise, "Qing Ji Zi, you actually possess profound blood magic?"
Ji Rong turned her head towards Elder Shen and said, "My brother Ji Zhuang told me that he originally cultivated blood magic, but one day he drank my blood, comprehended it, and thus the 'Refining Spirit Scripture' came into being."
I already offered up that blood technique, and Senior Brother Qing Guangzi should have copied it down.
"A great talent! A great talent!" Elder Shen stroked his sparse beard and praised, "No wonder Lord Jue made him his personal attendant. He has such ability to infer the big from the small and trace the origin. It is truly a difficult task."
Once his appreciation for talent arose, he plucked two ginseng roots as thick as claws from his own body and said, "Eat one more each, and you'll recover faster."
Ji Rong and Shan Wu accepted the ginseng root and swallowed it without hesitation. Afterwards, Ji Rong asked, "Senior brother, our injuries have healed by about 70%. We are now preparing to return to the unloading workshop. Could you please provide my Uncle Shan Wu with a set of armor?"
Qingqizi nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. You go first, and I'll be there shortly."
Qingqizi summoned a fat white tiger cultivator at the Emperor Realm. This fat white tiger cultivator was also Qingqizi's disciple. He asked the disciple to give Shan Wu the armor that he had just obtained from the Weapon Tower.
This chubby white tiger was quite generous, appearing easygoing and easygoing. After fetching the armor and helping Shan Wu put it on, he noticed that the armor was a bit loose around Shan Wu's stomach, so he carefully adjusted it.
Once Shan Wu was dressed properly, the chubby tiger cultivator sincerely praised him, saying, "Master, this armor seems to have been tailor-made for this fellow Daoist."
Qing Qizi said with satisfaction, "Bai Sui, go to the Artifact Pavilion again and have your Uncle Qing Yangzi make you a set." Then he handed Bai Sui a jade token, which Bai Sui accepted with great joy and left.
