Just taking a few pills simply prepared by doctors didn't make me any better at all.

Liu Yuting picked up Liu Mingyu on his back and rushed out of Yellow-tier class's courtyard without looking back. Several embarrassing sneers and whispered comments came from behind.

"Tsk, this girl has quite a bad temper!"

"Isn't it just because of Senior Brother Jiang that you look at her differently? Otherwise, how can she have the confidence to rely on Dou Zhe who has just made a breakthrough?"

Liu Yuting turned a deaf ear and walked quickly, heading straight in the direction of the Alchemy Department.

Liu Mingyu's breathing became weaker and weaker, the toxin had spread to his neck, and there were faint purple-black lines under the skin, climbing like a spider web.

His consciousness was blurred, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he could only make a weak breath sound.

"Brother, hold on!"

Liu Yuting gritted his teeth and walked faster.

"Brother Jiang must have a way!"

However, when she rushed to the Alchemy Department's main hall, she was stopped by two guards.

"Stop! This is a great place for refining medicine, no one can enter!"

Liu Yuting was so anxious that he shouted directly.

"I'm looking for Jiang Senior Brother Donghua! Human life is at stake, please let me know!"

The guard hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to neglect, turned around and walked towards the depths of the hall.

After passing through several corridors, I came to a quiet secret room. I took a deep breath, put my palms on the sound transmission stone next to the secret room, and said respectfully.

"Master Jiang, there is a woman named Liu Yuting outside asking to see you. She said she is your friend. She also said that you had visited their brother and sister today. I dare not take it personally, so I came here to report it."

There was silence in the secret room for a moment, and then a low and gentle voice came.

"Liu Yuting?"

Before he finished speaking, the stone door of the secret room suddenly opened, and a slender figure stepped out.

Jiang Donghua was dressed in white, with picturesque features, but at this moment there was a rare trace of anxiety in his eyes.

"Where is she?"

The guard was stunned. He didn't expect that Master Jiang actually knew the woman, and had such an eager attitude, and said quickly.

"Right outside the door, she is carrying a poisoned man on her back. The situation seems not good!"

Jiang Donghua's eyes darkened, his figure flashed, and he directly used his movement technique, turning into an afterimage and rushing outside the hall.

Liu Yuting was waiting anxiously when suddenly her eyes flashed and a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

"Brother Jiang!"

Her eyes turned red and her voice trembled slightly.

Jiang Donghua's eyes fell on Liu Mingyu on her back. Seeing the purple Hei Du lines spreading on his neck, his brows instantly furrowed.

"The poison has entered the heart. If it is a moment later, the gods will not be able to save it."

He said solemnly, then stretched out his hand to explore, and a gentle Dou Qi poured into Liu Mingyu's body, temporarily suppressing the spread of toxins.

"Follow me!"

Without saying a word, he took the Liu Mingyu, and with his figure like the wind, he took the Liu Yuting straight to the inner hall of the Alchemy Department.

When the two guards saw this, they didn't dare to stop him. They quickly moved out of the way, feeling secretly happy in their hearts.

Fortunately, they didn't offend this girl, otherwise they wouldn't be able to bear Master Jiang's anger!

Jiang Donghua frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice while running Dou Qi to refine the medicinal power for Liu Mingyu.

"Yuting, how did you get into trouble with this kind of poison? With your strength, you shouldn't have rashly entered the area where Poison Spider is."

Liu Yuting's eyes were red, and there was still a bit of fear in his voice.

"We originally just went to hunt Wood-swallowing Fox outside the mountains in order to exchange for some cultivation resources. But we didn't expect that not long after we entered the forest, we accidentally entered a dense forest filled with poisonous miasma!"

She gritted her teeth and continued.

"That Poison Spider was hiding in the woods and suddenly jumped out! My brother was bitten by one of them in order to protect me. If I hadn't just broken through to Dou Zhe, I barely managed to lead him out of the siege."

She didn't say any more, but her trembling fingertips had exposed the fear in her heart.

Jiang Donghua's eyes were focused, and Dou Qi was pressed suddenly in his hand, and the medicinal power in Liu Mingyu's body was instantly fully stimulated.

"Cough--!"

In less than a minute, Liu Mingyu, who was dying, suddenly coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, and the purple-black poisonous lines on his face also faded a bit.

"Brother!"

Liu Yuting rushed forward in surprise.

Jiang Donghua took back his palm and said calmly.

"The poison has been stabilized for the time being, and it will be fine after some sleep."

But it seems that these two siblings, especially Liu Mingyu, seem to want to speak but don't.

Jiang Donghua patted his shoulder and said.

"If you have anything to do, just tell me."

When Liu Mingyu heard Jiang Donghua's words, a complex look appeared on his pale face, and he reluctantly stood up, his voice weak but with a bit of bitterness.

"Jiang, Master Jiang is joking. It was just a trivial matter back then, but now you are Fourth-grade Alchemist, with a respected status. How can we brothers and sisters dare to climb higher?"

Jiang Donghua frowned deeper, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and interrupted him directly.

"Liu Mingyu, when did you become so timid?"

He took a step forward, and although his tone was calm, it was filled with unquestionable firmness.

"Back then, when I was weak and marginalized, who gave me First-tier Treasure Saber, and who were the two people who stayed in the carriage along the way to relieve my boredom?"

He stared at Liu Mingyu with burning eyes and his voice was low.

"Why, now that I'm just a little accomplished in alchemy, you're becoming polite to me?"

Liu Mingyu was startled, a daze flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered the bold and righteous self back then, and the cautious and cautious person in front of him due to the gap in strength. He was speechless for a moment.

Liu Yuting watched from the side and couldn't help but chime in in a low voice.

"Brother, Brother Jiang has never changed. It's because you think too much."

Jiang Donghua hummed softly, waved his sleeves, and a pill exuding a light fragrance flew directly into Liu Mingyu's hand.

"Eat it and stop talking nonsense."

Liu Mingyu looked down at the valuable elixir in his palm, his throat rolled, and he finally gave a wry smile.

"Brother Jiang, I'm being hypocritical."

He raised his head and took the elixir, and immediately a warm current surged through his body, and the originally stagnant meridians became much more relaxed.

Jiang Donghua then looked a little calmer and said calmly.

"That's true."

He turned around and walked to the medicine shelf on the side, selecting medicinal materials and saying casually.

"I originally planned to go find you today, but I didn't expect you to give me a big gift first."

Liu Yuting blinked and said curiously.

"Brother Jiang has something to do with us?"

Jiang Donghua didn't look back and his tone remained calm.

"After much thought, it's almost time to replace the first-level weapons that you two brothers and sisters had before, right?"

Before they could react, he lightly swiped his finger, Storage Ring light flashed, and several pieces of equipment exuding powerful aura emerged out of thin air, suspended in mid-air, faintly emitting energy fluctuations of water and earth elements.

Mysterious Ice Spirit Blade--A thin sword that is completely blue. The sword body is like ice condensed. When it is swung, it can cause water mist to swirl. Wherever the sword blade passes, the air seems to condense into frost.

Azure Wave Soft Armor--Made from deep-sea Xuan Tie and Third-tier Water Element Demonic Beast scales, it is as light as nothing, but it can automatically condense a water curtain shield when attacked to offset part of the impact.

Earth Vein Heavy Sword--The sword body is as thick as a rock, but the blade is extremely sharp. When it is slashed, it can activate the power of the earth's veins, making the sword as heavy as a mountain. It is suitable for a wide open and close fighting style.

Bedrock Battle Armor--Made from the core of the earth and the carapace of earth monsters, it has amazing defense and can even withstand other Battle Spirit level attacks without breaking.

If any of these pieces of equipment are placed in an outside auction house, they can fetch a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands of gold coins!

And now, Jiang Donghua actually took out four pieces at once, with a total value of more than one million gold coins!

Liu Yuting and Liu Mingyu's eyes widened and their mouths opened slightly, but they couldn't say a word.

Liu Yuting's fingertips trembled slightly. She stretched out her hand to touch the Mysterious Ice Spirit Blade, but as if she was afraid of getting it dirty, she quickly retracted her hand and her voice trembled.

"Jiang, Brother Jiang, this, this is too expensive!"

Liu Mingyu froze in place, his throat rolled, he swallowed hard, and it took him a long while to choke out a sentence.

"Brother Jiang, how dare we accept this?"

Jiang Donghua looked at their shocked and almost sluggish expressions and couldn't help laughing. With a wave of his hand, four pieces of equipment flew towards the two of them.

"Take it. With your current strength and no good defense, you may not be able to come back alive if you encounter Poison Spider next time."

Liu Yuting hurriedly caught Mysterious Ice Spirit Blade and Azure Wave Soft Armor, feeling the cold touch from the weapon, his eyes were slightly red and his voice was choked.

"Brother Jiang, me!"

Liu Mingyu held Earth Vein Heavy Sword tightly, feeling the heavy power coming from the sword. He took a deep breath, finally stopped refusing, clasped his fists heavily, and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Jiang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"

Jiang Donghua waved his hand and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Okay, stop being pretentious and quickly familiarize yourself with the new equipment. I will take you to a place in two days, just in time to try it out."

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other. In addition to shock, there was also a touch of excitement that could not be concealed. From today on, their cultivation path will be completely different!
