Wei Shao'er never hits people randomly, but the other party likes to stab people with a sword.

Chen Zhang was not the only one injured. There were three others with similar injuries to their flesh and bones, and all of them were wealthy and powerful.

Among them was a man named Chen He, who was Chen Zhang's older brother and held considerable power and status.

Chen He was also stabbed by Wei Shao'er, but perhaps Chen He had other medical options, or perhaps he didn't quite believe the news that the West Market specialized in treating sprains and bruises, so he hadn't come to Zhang Xuezhou for treatment yet.

Now that Wei Shao'er has found Chen Zhang, a rich man who can provide for her, the remaining patients for treatment are left to Zhang Xuezhou. How much money Zhang Xuezhou can extract from these people is up to him.

"If you put it that way, I might actually have to set up a stall in the West Market!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the sky. He had originally planned to skip the day, but now he thought he could set up an evening stall in the West Market.

Firstly, he was bound to encounter Chen Zhang as a client; if he were to encounter other clients, it would be considered a major breakthrough in his client base.

This method of creating illness where there is none is very risky, but it did bring Zhang Xuezhou customers.

Zhang Xuezhou cupped his hands in greeting to Wei Shao'er, allowing Wei Shao'er to conduct the examination on Rong Tianding, and then left the room.

"Cousin, cousin, I want to go out with you to meet outstanding women!"

Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou being sent away by Wei Shao'er, Rong Tianding couldn't help but feel anxious.

However, Wei Shao'er pried at his body several times, rendering him unable to move for a moment, and he could only lie on the ground and cry out.

"Why bother going out to meet outstanding women? Don't you think I'm good-looking, capable, and rich?" Wei Shao'er said.

"You... you are excellent!"

Technique Method are no match for martial artists in close combat, not to mention the huge difference in their cultivation levels. Even if Zhang Xuezhou were here, he would still get beaten up.

Rong Tianding finally lay down on the ground, letting Wei Shao'er conduct a physical examination.

He's become somewhat immune to outstanding women now. These young and beautiful women have devilish hearts beneath their skins. Without corresponding strength or conditions, it's impossible for the two sides to be on equal footing, let alone have anything happen between them.

"Strange, you seem to have formed Technique Method annihilation armor within your body. Why isn't my Technique Method annihilation armor as comprehensive as yours?"

If Wei Shao'er doesn't need to seek Zhang Xuezhou for treatment, her purpose is not hard to guess.

Having also consumed a small amount of the Ancestral Dragon's Essence Blood, Rong Tianding thus became a reference point for Wei Shao'er's comparison.

The weaker the body and the lower the cultivation level, the less ancestral dragon Essence Blood one can withstand. In particular, the ancestral dragon Essence Blood that Wei Shao'er gave to Rong Tianding was not refined into pills, and the blood was filled with violent power.

Logically speaking, the effects of taking Zulong's Essence Blood on Rong Tianding should be relatively poor, at least less so than those on Wei Shao'er.

However, Wei Shao'er felt that Rong Tianding's condition was better than her own.

Just as countless capillaries permeate every part of his body, Rong Tianding Technique Method of annihilation has been fully formed.

This Technique Method of annihilation armor can at most defend against low-level Technique Method from cultivators at the Meridian Circulation Realm, and spells at this level are almost all useless. Therefore, Rong Tianding's annihilation Technique Method will not be of much use for the time being.

However, Wei Shao'er greatly admired Rong Tianding's complete annihilation Technique Method.

The other party currently has very little physical burden.

With this Technique Method Annihilation Armor as a catalyst, as long as Rong Tianding continues to cultivate and enhance his Demon Power, this Technique Method Annihilation Armor will also possess a certain degree of growth potential.

Wei Shao'er's Annihilation Technique Method transcended too much distance, almost matching her cultivation level.

This matching brought a heavy physical burden.

"How did your body withstand the corrosive effects of the annihilation armor formed by this Technique Method?" Wei Shao'er asked.

"What annihilation Technique Method? What erosion? What are you trying to do... Ah, I'll cooperate!"

After being slapped, Rong Tianding honestly recounted his perception at the time, including the Peiyuan Ointment provided by Zhang Xuezhou, and the restoration of his Law Power using Dong Zhongshu's Vast Righteous Qi Instruction.

So that's how you got through it!

Rong Tianding's extremely cooperative questioning helped Wei Shao'er understand some things, including why Zhang Xuezhou had suggested taking the pill.

Rong Tianding is a magic cultivator and takes pills to restore his Law Power, while Wei Shao'er is a martial arts cultivator and needs to take pills to restore his Qi and Blood.

Rong Tianding's small boat made it easy for her to turn around and find suitable pills. Where would she get so many high-level pills to take, let alone find techniques to restore her Qi and Blood?

What should we do?

Not only was there a small life inside Wei Shao'er's body absorbing her mother's Qi and Blood, but there was also Technique Method armor constantly eroding her vital Qi and Blood.

Relying on meat to replenish Qi and Blood is ultimately a poor strategy.

Having figured out Rong Tianding's problem-solving methods, Wei Shao'er's goals became clear.

However, she couldn't help but worry about how to find enough Qi and Blood Pill to support her body's needs.

It was one thing to keep a rich guy like Chen Zhang entertained with meals, but each meal only cost a few dozen or a hundred coins' worth of meat. However, if the other party couldn't keep up with her eating and drinking, Wei Shao'er would move on to the next target.

However, a low-grade Qi and Blood Pill is quite expensive, costing at least one or even several gold coins, while a high-grade Qi and Blood Pill is even more expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary people. It would be very difficult for Wei Shao'er to find a suitable target.

She couldn't help but feel worried, as she felt her future was bleak and even her survival was in jeopardy.

"If I go back to the princess's residence, I don't know... Oh right, her family isn't wealthy either. Let alone supporting my Qi and Blood Pill, they probably can't even afford food and drink!"

Wei Shao'er has very few people to rely on. She can't harm her younger brother, but the families she can rely on are also limited in terms of financial resources.

Without the resources of an imperial family, she risked serious trouble by rashly using items reserved for emperors.

This made Wei Shao'er constantly ponder and feel lingering fear.

The momentary fear of death only terrified her for a short time, but watching her own death approach was a psychological torment that even the bravest Wei Shao'er could hardly bear.

She was talking to herself one moment, sobbing the next, filled with resentment one moment, and regret the next; her emotions were completely out of control.

"My cousin is right. For people like us, a single misstep can lead to certain doom, leaving us no chance to even try!"

Seeing Wei Shao'er on the verge of emotional collapse, Rong Tianding couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed, and became even more convinced that what Zhang Xuezhou said was a lesson learned from countless hardships, an experience that couldn't be more correct.

At least Wei Shao'er can rely on her good looks for now. If he were in Wei Shao'er's situation, Rong Tianding didn't know what he could sell.

"Luckily, I have my cousin!"

Rong Tianding felt he had nothing left to sell; even if he were willing to offer his body, no wealthy woman would accept him.

But Rong Tianding's heart finally settled down.

Wei Shao'er's younger brother is useless, but his cousin is very useful.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou doesn't fall, Rong Tianding feels he won't fall either.
