Save Me!

Crackling and popping... Thunder rumbled, the wind and rain grew stronger, and the rapid raindrops pounded against the umbrella, making a series of popping sounds.

The Cloth-Clad Elder held a large oil-paper umbrella, but it couldn't keep out all the wind and rain, and he got soaked.

The White-Clad Woman was the same.

"This awful weather!"

The White-Clad Woman cursed irritably. The damp, cold air seeped into her delicate skin, chilling her to the bone. Her large, watery eyes stared pleadingly at the Cloth-Clad Elder, and she whispered, "Grandpa, can I use a little Law Technique?"

"Living like an ordinary person is the essence of Red Dust Heart Tempering."

The Cloth-Clad Elder spoke calmly.

Seeing that her grandfather was also soaked to the bone but remained calm, the White-Clad Woman could only stick out her tongue, hug her arms tightly to her chest, and continue traveling with her grandfather in the rainy night.

"Xiu'er." The Cloth-Clad Elder, his gaze deep, watched a streak of sword light fly crookedly overhead and said calmly, "Although we entered these few vassal states to Red Dust Heart Tempering, we also need to find the Spirit-Devouring Insect."

"Grandpa, why are you so persistent in Spirit-Devouring Insect?"

The White-Clad Woman asked in surprise.

You'll find out later.

The Cloth-Clad Elder kept everyone in suspense, giving a deliberately mysterious smile.

The White-Clad Woman looked somewhat annoyed as she watched the sword light land obliquely outside the dilapidated temple. Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow and lowered her voice, saying, "Grandpa, that's Liu Qingwu from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. She seems to be injured."

She's been poisoned.

The Cloth-Clad Elder said calmly.

The White-Clad Woman had a sudden thought and quietly asked, "Grandpa, I've met Liu Qingwu once before. Should we save her life?"

"Need not."

The Cloth-Clad Elder refused.

He then added, "Sweep only the snow from your own doorstep, and don't worry about the frost on someone else's roof."

The White-Clad Woman nodded, feeling relieved.

The grandfather and grandson walked quite fast in the rainy night, and soon disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

Inside the dilapidated temple, Chen Changming eagerly opened his Storage Bag.

A delicate fragrance of medicinal pills wafted towards us.

"Heavenly Spirit Pill!"

Looking at the tempting Heavenly Spirit Pill quietly displayed in the Storage Bag, Chen Changming was immediately overjoyed.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill is now completely unavailable on the market, yet this Cloth-Clad Elder gave him five hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill as a gift.

He relied almost entirely on Heavenly Spirit Pill to advance from the first to the second level of Foundation Establishment. Now that he has these five hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill, his cultivation should be able to improve somewhat.

Knock knock...

Heavy footsteps echoed through the wind and rain.

Is anyone there?

Chen Changming quickly put away the Storage Bag and looked up warily, only to see a White-Clad Woman with her head down staggering into the dilapidated temple.

She collapsed to the ground, her body struggling weakly, like a person critically injured and dying.

Upon realizing that the other party was actually a peak Foundation Establishment Stage 10 cultivator, Chen Changming was somewhat shocked. What was going on tonight? He was sleeping in a dilapidated temple, how come he kept encountering so many powerful experts?

"Help me..."

The White-Clad Woman struggled to raise her head, uttered two words, and then helplessly lowered her head again.

When Chen Changming saw that face clearly, his pupils shrank sharply.

This White-Clad Woman was none other than Liu Qingwu, the eldest daughter of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!

Having dealt with this young lady before, he trusted her quite a bit, so he quickly ran over, picked up Liu Qingwu, and placed her by the campfire.

Liu Qingwu's dress was soaked through, revealing her graceful curves. Her face was ashen, devoid of any color, and her lips were dry and cracked, oozing streaks of blood.

"Do you... do you have any Detoxification Pill?"

With her eyes tightly closed, enduring the pain within her body, Liu Qingwu spoke weakly.

"Have."

Among Chen Changming's spoils of war were indeed some Detoxification Pill. He quickly took out more than a dozen, spread them out in his palm, and placed them in front of Liu Qingwu.

"Senior, which one would you like?"

These Detoxification Pill come in three types, each a different color. They are all common Detoxification Pill, effective against ordinary poisons, but with little effect against potent poisons.

Give me all of them.

Liu Qingwu opened her dry, bloodied lips and spoke weakly.

The poison she was afflicted with was not very effective with ordinary Detoxification Pill, but this young cultivator had quite a few Detoxification Pill on him; if he swallowed them all, it should be able to suppress the poison for a while.

Chen Changming inserted a pill into her mouth. Seeing that Liu Qingwu was having difficulty swallowing, he quickly took out a Storage Bag, took out a little water, and Law Power to control it to put it into her mouth.

After drinking some water, Liu Qingwu swallowed the Detoxification Pill.

Following the same procedure, Chen Changming gave Liu Qingwu all of the dozen or so Detoxification Pill pills.

After taking the Detoxification Pill, Liu Qingwu relaxed and lay down by the campfire, quietly closing her eyes to rest.

Chen Changming cut off a few more pieces of meat and placed them on the fire, then took the last two pieces and ate them.

As an outsider, he had a clearer perspective. Although Liu Qingwu was poisoned and appeared to be severely injured, she remained wary. If he, a cultivator at the second level of Foundation Establishment, were to cause any trouble, her remaining strength would be enough to kill her.

But after all, he had dealt with Liu Qingwu before.

This woman not only gave him a lot of Blood Spirit Bat, but also gifted him two Foundation Establishment, so Chen Changming also had a good impression of her.

Knowing that the young lady of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion came from a distinguished family, she acted in a rather upright and honest manner.

"Detoxification Pill... are there any left?"

An hour later, just as Chen Changming had finished eating, he heard Liu Qingwu's voice.

"And, senior."

Chen Changming looked over and noticed that Liu Qingwu's delicate face had regained some color.

He then took out more than a dozen Detoxification Pill.

Liu Qingwu stretched out her hand, and the Detoxification Pill pills floated over from the air. She put them into her mouth one by one and swallowed them.

"Give me the rest, fellow Daoist. I will pay you with Spirit Stone."

"Senior, this Detoxification Pill isn't worth much, so I'll give it to you."

Chen Changming smiled sheepishly and took out all the Detoxification Pill, totaling more than two hundred.

Liu Qingwu was momentarily lost in thought.

Unexpectedly, after taking thirty Detoxification Pill, this Foundation Establishment Level 2 cultivator still had so many Detoxification Pill left.

"This person is truly my benefactor..."

Liu Qingwu sighed softly in her heart. Ordinary cultivators usually only carry a few Detoxification Pill, but this little cultivator at the second level of Foundation Establishment carried more than two hundred, which really helped her a lot.

Liu Qingwu did not take the Detoxification Pill, but instead put them into her Storage Ring.

She sighed softly, her expression serious as she gazed intently at the young man before her, and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, my poison wounds have not yet healed. I need you to accompany me to Hidden Dragon Mountain to find Detoxification Herb, which will take some time. Are you willing?"

"I..."

Chen Changming pondered. He was originally going to Hidden Dragon Mountain, which meant he was going the same way as Liu Qingwu. But if he were to act as her bodyguard, it seemed that Liu Qingwu would be getting a great deal.

If we put ourselves in their shoes, a lowly cultivator at the second level of Foundation Establishment should not be able to refuse a powerful cultivator at the peak of the tenth level of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Changming, not wanting to reveal his identity, was about to agree when he suddenly heard Liu Qingwu say, "Fellow Daoist, I still have five hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill here, which I no longer need. If you are willing to accompany me to find herbs, then these Heavenly Spirit Pill will be your reward..."

Five hundred Heavenly Spirit Pill?

Upon hearing this, Chen Changming trembled and his breathing became somewhat rapid, displaying the excitement expected of a Foundation Establishment Level 2 cultivator.
