At this time, Fan Yanmu, Ying Yi and Ying Er also reacted quickly. With sharp sword lights, they attacked the black bear from three directions at the same time. A thrilling contest between man and beast began.

Xiao Zhixue stretched out her body, like a ghost moving across the battlefield, and moved lightly to Fang Jiawen's side, quickly checking his condition.

Fang Jiawen was unconscious, his breath was as weak as a candle that was about to go out, and the flame of life was flickering.

She looked calm and did not take any immediate rescue measures. Instead, she carefully checked Fang Jiawen's clothes.

During the search, no clues about the assassin from Dong Chu State were found, but an exquisite small porcelain bottle was inadvertently touched in his chest pocket.

This unexpected discovery made her eyes flicker with a hint of curiosity and amusement.

Gently unscrewing the bottle cap, a few bright red pills, like solidified blood, lay quietly in her palm, emitting a faint herbal aroma.

Xiao Zhixue knew at a glance that these pills were extraordinary and must have been made by top doctors. Not only could they greatly promote wound healing, they also had miraculous detoxification effects, making them truly rare treasures.

A faint smile bloomed on her lips. How could such precious medicine be returned so easily?

Although she had superb medical skills and was able to prepare the prescription, she had not been successful due to the lack of several key rare medicinal materials.

She secretly made up her mind to find the missing herbs no matter what and recreate the magic of the pill.

Seeing that Fang Jiawen had not woken up yet, Xiao Zhixue first carefully put the pill into the space ring she carried with her, then took out her special healing ointment, carefully applied it on his wound, and put another oral healing pill into his mouth.

As soon as the pill touched the tip of his tongue, it melted immediately, turning into a warm medicinal force and sliding into his throat.

Soon, Fang Jiawen slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that came into his sight was Xiao Zhixue's gentle and concerned face.

Memories came flooding back like a tide, and he realized that it was she who saved him. Just as he was about to open his mouth to thank her, he felt a rusty taste rising in his throat, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, followed by a violent cough that made his entire chest feel like it was burning.

Xiao Zhixue was quick to take out a pot of clear spiritual spring water from her space ring and fed it to him gently.

The sweet spiritual spring flowed through his throat, and miraculously, he felt the sharp pain in his body that was like a knife cutting quickly eased. The effect was so fast that it was far better than any secret medicine collected by his parents at home.

Thinking about how he had taken his father's precious medicine bottle with him when he sneaked out of the valley, his heart tightened. He fumbled around in his arms in panic, and his heart suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar - the medicine bottle was missing!

That was the result of his father's ten years of hard work and careful development. It was a unique treasure in the valley and was originally designed to enable him to save himself when he encountered danger outside.

Unexpectedly, in the panic of avoiding the black bear, this crucial pill was lost.

Guilt and fear overwhelmed him like a tide. Imagining the harsh reproach and disappointed look his father would give him if he knew, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Just when he was looking worried and at a loss, Xiao Zhixue seemed to see through his thoughts. She held a porcelain bottle that was very similar to the previous one in her hand, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Are you looking for this?"

The porcelain bottle swayed gently in the air, and the pills inside were safe and sound. The burden in Fang Jiawen's heart seemed to be lifted instantly.

He was about to reach out to take it, but Xiao Zhixue turned her wrist deftly, and the porcelain bottle disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye as if it was cast by magic.

"If you want your medicine back, you have to tell me the truth first."

There was an unquestionable determination in her words, and she looked at him sharply, as if she could see through all his thoughts.

After she finished speaking, her smile suddenly withered like a spring day suddenly encountering frost, and her eyes froze instantly, like a sharp ice blade, piercing through the cold wind, staring directly into Fang Jiawen's eyes, and asked coldly with every word clear: "Who are you? What is your purpose in this remote place? Why did you appear here and become associated with such a rare spiritual medicine?"

Faced with this pressing questioning, in order to obtain the precious pill to save his family's lives, Fang Jiawen swallowed his dry mouth and spoke frankly: "To be honest, I escaped from the legendary Divine Medicine Valley and came here secretly. The Jade Spirit Pill in your hand was made by my father himself. It is very important to me. I hope the girl will be merciful and return it to me."

Upon hearing the words "Divine Doctor Valley", a hint of barely perceptible surprise flashed across Xiao Zhixue's eyes, as if the clouds had been cleared away to reveal the blue sky, and all the mysteries were solved.

No wonder this pill is so extraordinary, it turns out it comes from a famous family.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was smiling, and she continued to ask: "What kind of person is your father in that mysterious valley? What is his status?"

Fang Jiawen was extremely anxious, and before he could think about it, he blurted out: "My father is the owner of the Divine Doctor Valley. He has five great disciples, each of whom has outstanding medical skills and is well-known throughout the world."

He thought that this prominent background was enough to impress the other party and exchange for the crucial pill, but Xiao Zhixue smiled lightly, her red lips parted slightly, and her words were like a cold wind blowing into his ears, but they were the answer he least wanted to hear: "As for this medicine, I will keep it for the time being. It's just a small reward for me saving your life when we met."

Fang Jiawen's mind raced, and he was about to retort, but he saw Xiao Zhixue's light figure moving towards the three people who were fighting with the black bear not far away.

At this moment, Fan Yanmu and his two companions were fighting fiercely with a huge black bear.

The black bear was of enormous size, and every time it swung its palm, a whistling sound of wind arose, with a terrifying power.

The sword in Ying'er's hand was accidentally knocked away by the black bear's giant paw. He hurriedly drew the short knife from his waist and fought desperately.

Fan Yanmu seized the opportunity, and his long sword soared into the air like a dragon, and he accurately stabbed the black bear's abdomen. The black bear roared to the sky and swept its huge palm in rage. Fan Yanmu was agile and dodged it narrowly. At the same time, he flipped his wrist and left a deep sword mark on the black bear's thick arm.

Shadow One and Shadow Two also took advantage of the situation to launch a series of attacks, with swords and sabers flashing and shadows interweaving, and the black bear gradually became exhausted.

The black bear was so angry that it slapped Shadow One and Shadow Two away, then roared and charged towards Fan Yanmu.

At this moment, Xiao Zhixue swung the whip in her hand, accurately wrapping around the black bear's hind legs, and pulled hard. With a loud "bang", the huge body fell to the ground.

The black bear was unwilling to accept defeat and was about to turn over to resist, but Fan Yanmu seized the opportunity and stabbed a sword deep into its back.

The black bear howled in pain, and the sound was so shrill that it echoed throughout the valley.

Shadow One and Shadow Two quickly joined the final attack, swords and sabers fell together, and the black bear finally collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. Although he still struggled hard to try to stand up, it was in vain.
