Repaying Kindness with Enmity

Luo Pan walked out anxiously and came to Chen Ning's tent. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "Brother Hong, do you have any healing pills? We've run out. My two brothers are seriously injured, and if they don't take the healing pills in time, I'm afraid they won't make it through the night."

Luo Pan wasn't sure either.

Healing pills are an extremely precious resource.

They are especially rare in the treacherous Forest of the Dead.

The fact that they agreed to let us stay the night was already a great favor.

Now that he was coming to borrow the elixir, Luo Pan felt quite embarrassed.

Lending is a favor, not lending is one's right.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ning walked out of the tent, nodded casually, and said to a disciple beside him, "Go and fetch some pills and deliver them to Brother Luo."

"Yes, sir... Senior Brother."

The disciple almost blurted out the words "Sect Leader," but he swallowed them back.

Upon hearing Chen Ning's words, Luo Pan was overjoyed and said excitedly, "I thank Brother Hong for his help!"

"You're welcome, it was nothing."

Chen Ning was a little sleepy, so he said goodbye to Luo Pan and went back to rest.

Tomorrow I have to take my disciples to hunt spirit beasts, and keep an eye on who gets killed; it'll take a lot of energy.

As for healing pills, I brought a lot with me this time.

Within a sect, this type of resource is never lacking.

There are over a hundred Alchemist, making them extremely productive and supplying the entire sect.

Luo Pan followed the disciple all the way to the camp.

Over here, the group was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Seeing Luo Pan return, Luo Qingqing immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Brother, how is it? Those two are about to collapse."

"Don't worry, little sister! Brother Hong sent this junior brother with some healing pills. They can be saved!"

Upon hearing this, the group was all delighted.

They all clasped their hands in thanks to the disciple, saying, "Thank you for saving us."

The disciple nodded, took out a bundle, unfolded it, and said, "I don't know anything about medicine, so use whatever in here can save them quickly."

The group looked over and their expressions changed, because the pills in the bundle were all high-quality and valuable.

The porcelain bottle was filled to the brim with fifth-grade healing pills.

Other kinds of grade-five elixirs were also quietly displayed.

Grade 5 pills are quite valuable and are often the fastest-selling and best-selling pills in major merchant guilds.

Once any grade-five pills are put on the market, they are snapped up by major Lineage and powerful forces.

Luo Pan and his companions had used up all the healing pills in their backpacks, but they were only of the seventh rank.

Compared to these other things, it pales in comparison.

Luo Pan's eyes narrowed; he saw that there was actually a fourth-grade pill inside!

"Mystic Yang Pill?"

If the fifth-grade pills only surprised them, then this fourth-grade Mystic Yang Pill truly astonished them.

This elixir has only one effect: to help cultivators break through the shackles of the Human Martial Realm.

With this Mystic Yang Pill...

It can help break through the shackles of the Human Martial Realm.

After advancing to the Spirit Martial Realm, one's cultivation will become more solid.

However, such elixirs have always been items auctioned by various merchant guilds, and it is extremely difficult to acquire them.

Apart from these, only major sects with high-level alchemists in charge can possess such pills.

After a moment of surprise, Luo Qingqing was the first to react. She quickly took out two fifth-grade healing pills and gave them to the two injured people.

Before long, their wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His life was saved.

The rest is simply a matter of slow recuperation and gentle nourishment with medicinal pills.

"Since everything's alright, I'll head back now."

After speaking, the disciple left the tent.

The group saw him off with expressions of gratitude.

Back in her tent, Luo Qingqing couldn't help but sigh, "We're so grateful to have Brother Hong this time; otherwise, we would have been in grave danger."

Everyone nodded in agreement, except for Luo Pan, whose eyes flickered.

Early the next morning.

When Chen Ning woke up, he saw that the sky was bright and clear, and he couldn't help but feel cheerful.

The trial mission will end in a few days. Overall, it was a pretty easy trip.

Moreover, all the disciples have become increasingly outstanding after undergoing training.

There's no need to worry too much about their safety.

They now have excellent teamwork, capable of both offense and defense.

Chen Ning was relieved of a lot of trouble.

However, outside the camp, the sound of horses' hooves filled the air, creating a noisy scene.

A group of uninvited guests gathered.

Chen Ning walked over and found that the other side had quite a few people, several hundred in a dark mass, all dressed in tight-fitting clothes, and they must be skilled in combat.

The leader was a burly man with a long spear, strong and powerful, with a bushy beard.

At this moment, a group of disciples, all armed, rushed over and confronted him.

The burly man with the bushy beard dropped his spear with a thud and whispered, "We've come here following the trail. I ask you, do you know where our leader is now?"

They followed the trail and arrived here.

Chen Ning's gaze sharpened, and he asked, "Is the alliance leader you're talking about named Luo Pan?"

"Exactly!"

The burly man with the bushy beard twitched his face and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Luo Pan and his men approached from a distance, shouting, "Brother Hong, these are all my brothers. They must have followed the marks we left along the way."

Upon seeing Luo Pan, the burly man with the bushy beard was moved and exclaimed happily, "Alliance Leader, we've been following the marks all the way and have finally found you!"

Seeing that the visitors were friends and not enemies, the disciples lowered their guard and sheathed their weapons.

Then, Luo Pan began questioning the burly man with the bushy beard.

"Are all the brothers here?"

"Yes, they're all coming this way."

"What were the results of this battle?"

"Not good. We didn't find any high-level spirit beasts, and quite a few of our brothers were killed or wounded. It seems we won't get much profit from this trip."

After hearing the burly man's reply, Luo Pan fell into deep thought.

"Brother, let's go."

Luo Qingqing picked up her longbow, mounted a fine horse, and the others settled the two wounded men from the previous night onto their horses before preparing to leave.

But Luo Pan didn't move. Instead, he turned to Chen Ning and said in a deep voice, "Brother Hong, to be honest, I am the leader of the Hurricane Hunting Alliance, which is also the largest Hunters' Alliance in the entire Great Yan Imperial Dynasty."

"So what?"

Chen Ning looked at him calmly.

"Yesterday, you generously took us in and gave us medicine; this is a great kindness, but..."

Luo Pan changed the subject.

"However... you must also know that in such a remote place, the law of the jungle prevails. I know that you and your junior brothers must come from a major sect, where fifth-grade pills are as common as cabbages. How could you possibly be of mortal origin? Therefore, the thousands of hunter brothers behind me wish to learn from you!"

Standing next to Chen Ning, Lu Ping sensed the ill intent in the other man's voice. His face darkened with anger, and he said, "You, surnamed Luo, are you trying to rob us?"

Once the words were spoken, all the disciples present realized what was going on.

This guy is such an ingrate.

Luo Pan slowly drew his longsword and said, "That's right. It's not just about looting; we must leave no one alive so that we have no worries about the future. Brother Hong Lingjin, I'm sorry, but after today, I, Luo, will give you a proper burial."
