Medicine God Valley.
At this time, everyone had arrived at Medicine God Valley. Under Elder Wu's arrangement, Li Changfeng was placed in a guest room where several pharmacists treated him, while Jingling Shitai healed herself in another guest room.
The remaining younger generation was led on a tour by Yue Hanhai, who took them to a scenic mountain peak.
All around were green mountains and clear waters, lush flowers and plants, and a faint fragrance in the air. There was also a field of medicinal herbs, which emitted a faint mist. If someone lived here, they could live more than ten years longer.
Sun Hongwen took a deep breath, his face full of delight, "Every time I come to Brother Le's place, I can't help but take a deep breath of the fresh air here. It's truly intoxicating!"
Zuo Kangcheng nodded upon hearing this, "Indeed! Although this is my first time here, I don't want to leave this paradise!"
Upon hearing this Yue Hanhai chuckled lightly, "Hehe! If you all like it, please come often when you have time! I'll always welcome you!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Kangcheng's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. "Brother Le! You said it yourself, so don't say I'm going to stay here every day!"
Sun Hongwen patted Zuo Kangcheng on the shoulder and laughed, "Brother Zuo! Don't worry! I'll come here to see him almost every day!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Hanhai shook his head, "You guys! You're really shameless!"
Sun Hongwen chuckled upon hearing this, "It's a pity that Zhiruo didn't come to see such a beautiful view, otherwise she would have been very happy to see it!"
Zuo Kangcheng nodded upon hearing this, and said with a wry smile, "Yes! Zhiruo only has eyes for Brother Li! I really don't understand how she could have fallen for Brother Li, who was a monk before!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Hanhai chuckled, "Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes and strongmen! Brother Li is a great hero, and his strength is extremely powerful. How could she not like him!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen sighed and said admiringly, "If it's Brother Li, I can accept it, but if it's anyone else, I would never accept it!"
Zuo Kangcheng nodded upon hearing this, "Indeed! Brother Li's strength makes it impossible for us to even think of pursuing him. Only the top five on the Human Rankings can be compared to him!"
Yue Hanhai smiled slightly upon hearing this, "But it's a good thing that we can be friends with him!"
"Yes! I never expected to be friends with someone like him. It's a stroke of luck!" Zuo Kangcheng exclaimed with a light laugh.
Sun Hongwen suddenly said, "I heard that Brother Li was seriously injured this time, and I don't know when he will wake up!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Hanhai said solemnly, "Indeed! It will take at least half a month for him to wake up!"
Seven days later.
In the guest room where Li Changfeng was, Zhou Zhiruo took meticulous care of him day and night, and was so tired that she lay down on the edge of the bed and fell asleep immediately.
At this moment, Li Changfeng's eyelids suddenly trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. He found himself lying on a bed and weakly asked, "Where am I? How did I suddenly appear in this place?"
He then turned his body slightly and felt that his body was very hard, covered in plaster casts. The pain made his face twitch and he took a deep breath.
"Looks like they've saved me! That was close! I almost got killed by that Black Serpent King!"
Suddenly, Li Changfeng noticed Zhou Zhiruo by the bedside. He was surprised to find her asleep, guarding him. His eyes softened with tenderness, and he reached out with difficulty to stroke her hair.
"This girl! How could she be so foolish as to stay here and protect me for so long!"
Li Changfeng's touch made Zhou Zhiruo frown and slowly wake up. When she found that Li Changfeng was awake, she was overjoyed and rushed over to hug him, crying, "I thought you weren't going to wake up! You scared me to death!"
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Li Changfeng felt pain all over his body and gasped for breath, struggling to say, "Zhi... Zhiruo! Let go of me first, you're hurting me!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo blushed and quickly let go of his hand, asking worriedly, "Senior Brother Li! Are you alright?"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Hehe! I'm fine! Did you save me?"
Zhou Zhiruo chuckled upon hearing this, "Yes! Fortunately, Senior Brother Li is strong enough to hold out until our rescue, otherwise it would have been dangerous!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded, "I see! This battle was extremely dangerous; I almost perished!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo said worriedly, "Senior Brother Li! Don't take everything on yourself in the future. If something happens, we should all share the burden. It's too dangerous for you to be alone!"
Li Changfeng smiled bitterly upon hearing this. He had no other choice but to do this. If they had stayed behind, they would have been wiped out. So he sent these few people to the rescue, hoping for a chance of survival. Otherwise, the outcome would have been unpredictable.
"Okay, okay! I'll do as you say! I'm a little thirsty, could you please get me a glass of water?"
"Okay! Senior Brother Li, please wait a moment! I'll go right away!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo quickly went to the table, poured a glass of water, and brought it to Li Changfeng's side, gesturing for him to pick it up and drink it.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile. "Zhiruo! I can't bend this arm, so I'll have to trouble you to help me!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo blushed and slowly handed the tea to Li Changfeng, who then drank it in large gulps. After drinking three cups, Li Changfeng finally felt that his throat was no longer so dry.
After putting down the blanket, Zhou Zhiruo lowered her head and said slowly, "Senior Brother Li! I'll go and get someone to check your injuries!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Okay! Thank you for your help! Also, please don't call me Senior Brother Li anymore, just call me Changfeng or my full name!"
"Okay! Chang... Changfeng!" Zhou Zhiruo said softly, her head lowered.
After saying that, she ran out like a shy young wife. Li Changfeng chuckled when he saw this, "This girl! She's so thin-skinned!"
A moment later.
Elder Wu led everyone slowly to Li Changfeng's room, carefully examined Li Changfeng, and exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected your physique to be so strong! You were able to wake up in just seven days!"
"This poison is extremely dangerous. I couldn't find an antidote for a while, and I was worried that it would worsen my injuries. I didn't expect you to be able to resolve it on your own. The poison in your body was dissolved by your cultivation technique. You are truly a miracle!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng said gratefully, "Then I must thank Elder Wu for healing my injuries, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly!"
Elder Wu waved his hand after hearing this, "We were just treating your common internal and external injuries. Your rapid recovery is entirely due to your constitution!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this. They hadn't expected Li Changfeng to have such a strong physique. No wonder he could fight someone as powerful as the Black Serpent King to such an extent.
