My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

"Qin Fansheng's injuries are very serious. If you want to save him, even the most precious natural treasures won't be enough to bring him back to consciousness."

The mist from the Azure Mist Fan was poisonous; he inhaled it, and now his body is riddled with wounds, both inside and out.

Xian Ge said to Ruan Cha Yan, who was sitting cross-legged beside Jin Hua Mao, "I don't recommend you save him; you'll lose most of your fortune."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chayan hesitated, and her initial determination to save him began to waver.

The Jinhua cat has shrunk in size, resembling a kitten of two or three months old. Its slightly curly white fur is covered in bloodstains, and the skin on its left foreleg is turned inside out, with a thin bluish mist rising from the wound.

Its two tails were thin and weak, with a bloody hole on the left tail. The tip of the tail, pierced by an arrow, was twisted and teetering on the verge of collapse. Its breath was weak, as if it was exhaling more than inhaling.

Looking at the dying white kitten, Ruan Chayan asked, "If I save Qin Fansheng, will it have any negative impact on the side quest?"

A data chain began to appear in String Song's eyes, and it quickly provided its answer: "Based on the current information, no."

Ruan Chayan recalled the slander Su Xiaochun had previously leveled against Qin Fansheng and asked, "Is Qin Fansheng a good person? He didn't collude with those people at Taibai Pavilion, did he? His continued existence won't make our main quest more difficult, will it?"

String Song hadn't expected Ruan Chayan to ask such detailed questions. It replied, "No."

Ruan Chayan then emptied the pills and elixirs from her Qiankun bag and storage ring: "Then let's save them."

Xian Ge was surprised that Ruan Chayan was so enthusiastic after not seeing her for a while: [“Why? Just leave him here to fend for himself. Our priority right now is to protect Wenren Ya’s safety.”]

Upon hearing this, Ruan Chayan glanced at Xiange and asked, "Is Wenren Ya in danger now?"

Xuan Ge let out an "uh" and said, "No, she's safe for now, but it's uncertain when she might be in danger again, so I still suggest you find her as soon as possible."

Ruan Chayan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good that the mission target didn't need them for the time being.

"If it weren't for his pity on me and Xiaoxue back then, we would have died as soon as we arrived in this world. How would we have had the chance to do missions later?"

Ruan Chayan said seriously, "Qin Fansheng's identity is very special. The demon race, the monster race, and the human race all need him."

Now that I have the time and energy to save his life, I cannot be ungrateful.

"Xiange, please help me figure out how to treat him. What pills or elixirs should I use? How should I channel spiritual energy into his body?"

Xian Ge instructed Ruan Chayan to pry open Jin Hua Mao's mouth and stuff in some pills to keep him alive, lest Jin Hua Mao die before his injuries were treated.

With tireless dedication, Xiange guided Ruan Chayan in treating the kitten's wounds. Ruan Chayan used spiritual spring water to wash the Jinhua cat's wounds, chewed up spiritual medicine and applied it to the wounds, and tore off her ordinary clothes from the mortal world to bandage them.

"The external injuries are mostly treated, but the internal injuries are much more difficult to manage."

String Song's black claws pawed at the jade box containing spiritual herbs. It could see through things to understand what kind of herbs were inside. ["With the medicines you currently have, you can't cure the poison from the Azure Mist Fan."]

Ruan Chayan put away the useless pills and elixirs, her heart tightening upon hearing Xiange's words: ["Is the poison serious? Will he die because he can't get an antidote?"]

Xian Ge scanned Jin Hua Cat's body again, and then said: "No, fortunately he is not an ordinary demon or monster. It will probably take about a month for the poison to be metabolized."

But the problem is that the Azure Breeze Poison might hinder his recovery and cause other complications; it's hard to say what will happen.

Ruan Chayan said regretfully, "If I had known Su Xiaochun was serious back then, I would have advised Xiaoxue not to help him."

Xian Ge comforted her, saying, "It's normal that you weren't on guard because you didn't know Su Xiaochun's true identity."

"Has Xiaoxue not woken up yet?" Ruan Chayan thought of Luo Hanying again and asked Xiange about her current situation.

Xian Ge said, "Luo Hanying has been found by a group of cultivators, and they are treating her. Don't worry, she's fine."

Ruan Chayan smiled bitterly: "My cultivation is so much higher than hers and I'm still so badly injured, how can I feel at ease with her?"

When will Xiaoxue and I no longer be at the mercy of others...?

Xian Ge didn't know how to answer this question. They all had their own destiny, which couldn't be changed by a single word or action.

String Song scratched an itch on the bamboo made of code and said, "You can try to form a bond with the sound of the zither."

The Lianzhi Ningqi Technique can share the spiritual power within your bodies. Qin Fansheng is currently seriously injured and needs spiritual power right now. Isn't that exactly what you want to improve your cultivation?

If the contract is successfully formed, it would be a win-win situation.

Ruan Chayan was utterly shocked: "Really? He's not a demon beast or a spirit beast, how could he possibly form a contract?"

Xian Ge shook her head: "I don't know, let's see how it goes? Why don't you give it a try?"

There's no harm in trying anyway.

"Excellent, excellent, I'm so fortunate to even have the chance to try forming a pact with the Demon Lord."

Ruan Chayan rubbed her hands excitedly. As she took out spirit stones and a chisel, she asked, "By the way, can you help me check how Jin Si is doing now?"

I remember Ji Daoyun saying that the Xiying Sect went to rescue him. Did they find Jin Si?

Xian Ge said with difficulty, "It's not that I can't help you, but it requires points, and since you're in debt, I can't give you credit."

Ruan Chayan said with dissatisfaction, "Then can we settle the score for you abandoning me and Xiaoxue for several years?"

"You really know how to cause me trouble." Xian Ge lazily sat down on the ground. "I haven't even settled the score with you and Luo Hanying for complaining about me!"

Never mind, I guess I owe you guys.

Jin Si is still having his spiritual energy absorbed by the alchemy cauldron, but he is not in any immediate danger.

The people from Xiying Sect did indeed arrive in the Western Barbarian Divine Continent, but Taibai Pavilion has been obstructing them. The two sides have already fought several battles. Judging from the situation, Jin Si might not even be able to leave the Guangxu Secret Realm by the time you emerge.

Ruan Chayan's worries lessened considerably: "It's good that there's no danger to her life."

She laid out spirit stones to draw an array, made hand seals and chanted incantations. The array operated smoothly and entered the bodies of the person and the cat. Then, just like when she made a contract with Jin Si, the Lianzhi Ningqi Array appeared, and the rotating array tightly connected them together.

Ruan Chayan floated in mid-air, puzzled by the lingering formation: ["Xiange, what's going on? Will the contract be successfully formed? Why is this formation constantly running?"]

The data link in the String Song Beast's eyes scrolled faster and faster. It hesitated before speaking: "It's probably because it's unsure whether the contract will be successful..."

Qin Fansheng's bloodline is exceptional; your situation is truly unprecedented.
