After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

Jiang Ning reacted quickly and caught him as he fell, preventing Su Bo from crashing to the ground.

Hearing the commotion, Ye Lan and Jiang Nan rushed over in a panic. Su Bo's complexion was extremely poor; his lips were pale, and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.

"Su Bo".

No matter how they called out to him, Su Bo kept his eyes tightly closed, his body twitching slightly as if he were enduring great pain.

"Judging from his appearance, he seems to have been poisoned by that bat. I have an antidote pill here, which may alleviate the symptoms."

As he spoke, Gu Yu took out a black pill from his storage bag and handed it to Jiang Ning. As a disciple of the Poison Sect, he was first-rate at making poisons, and naturally, he was also good at detoxification.

"Thank you, Brother Gu."

Jiang Ning reached out and took the pill, then used his other hand to pry open Su Bo's mouth and feed it to him. Seeing this, Ye Lan quickly took out some water from her spatial storage and placed it near Su Bo's mouth to make it easier for him to swallow the pill. After thinking for a moment, she took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

"Su Bo, Su Bo".

After Ye Lan saw him swallow the pill, she called out to him twice. At the sound of her call, Su Bo slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that he was awake, Ye Lan's heart finally settled down.

If it weren't for her greed and promise to go treasure hunting, Su Bo wouldn't have been poisoned. Seeing his confused and pained expression, Ye Lan felt extremely guilty.

Little did he know, Su Bo's bewildered expression was because he had just blacked out. After he and Senior Brother Song absorbed the bat's spiritual core, he would experience a poisoning attack every two weeks, with excruciating pain. However, this time the attack came several days earlier, and it was the first time he had fainted from the pain.

He woke up and looked around before realizing that the others had already escaped. When he saw Ye Lan's face full of heartache and guilt, Su Bo was stunned. He thought to himself that Ye Lan was indeed his best junior brother. Look at him, he was almost crying with worry. He didn't expect Ye Lan to be so worried about him.

"I'm fine. I was poisoned earlier, and the pain from the poison made me faint. I'll be fine after I get treated by Doctor Shen when we get out." Su Bo sat up and explained to everyone the reason for his fainting.

"If you don't want him to die in agony within this year, you can go find Nangong Yue." Shen Feng coldly reminded him, of course, he was speaking to Jiang Ning, "Nangong Yue has also entered the Cloud Cave, and her strength is indeed stronger than the other useless people in the Medicine Sect."

Why are you suddenly telling me this?

Not to mention Jiang Ning, even Jiang Nan and the others didn't believe that Shen Feng would suddenly be so kind as to remind them.

"Believe it or not." Ignoring their skeptical gazes, Shen Feng summoned his longsword and flew away. He had already sent a message to the other disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who were on their way. He would meet them soon.

Jiang Nan glanced in the direction Shen Fengfei had left, then looked at Jiang Ning and reminded him, "Are we just going to let him go like that?"

“There’s no use keeping him. He’s not a good person, but he cares most about the Heavenly Sword Sect. For his status as the young master and the token, he will definitely deliver the medicine to the Green Mountain Sect within ten days of the Cloud Cave.” Although Jiang Ning looked down on Shen Feng, he still had confidence in him.

"What if he dies?" Jiang Nan asked again.

"Pfft."

Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Gu Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. This little disciple of the Green Mountain Sect was too dull.

"Ahem." Realizing that laughing like that might be a bit impolite, Gu Yu pretended to clear his throat and explained, "The Heavenly Sword Sect not only cooperates with the Medicine Sect, but also gets involved with the people of the Western Continent. In addition, the Heavenly Sword Sect brought more than a dozen assassins in this time, besides their disciples. If he is killed, then everyone in this Cloud Cave will probably be in danger."

The implication was that since Shen Feng was killed inside the Cloud Cave, the four of them who followed him were even less likely to escape.

Ye Lan instantly recalled the first time he faced Shen Feng. No wonder He Luoluo said that several disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect had perished during the siege of the Heavenly Wolf Beast, but the number of people he encountered later was even greater than what He Luoluo had mentioned. It turned out that there were some assassins lurking in the shadows.

"It shouldn't be a problem to get Nangong Yue to help you detoxify. Just find her and tell her that your Green Mountain Sect can protect her. In exchange, she will definitely help Brother Su detoxify. She will not refuse."

Gu Yu continued speaking, as if there was nothing in this matter that he didn't know.

"Does Brother Gu know where to look for her?"

Jiang Ning had no doubt about his analysis. Gu Yu's cultivation was on par with his own, and he looked to be in his early twenties. It was not surprising that Gu Yu could reach the Nascent Soul stage so soon after reaching adulthood and had connections to know these things.

“After she entered the Cloud Cave, she has been hunted down by the Medicine Sect. As long as you spread the word that you need her help, she will come to you.” As if he had thought of something, Gu Yu continued, “Your Green Mountain Sect should have its own secret communication method to notify other disciples in the sect, right?”

Although it is a question, the tone is affirmative.

"Ah."

Jiang Ning didn't hide it; as the strongest sect in the Southern Continent, no one would believe he didn't exist.

Their Green Mountain Sect focuses more on formations and cultivation, unlike the Heavenly Sword Sect which is fond of weapon crafting, with each communication artifact being more and more advanced.

However, the Green Mountain Sect does have its own secret methods for communication, but the downside is that they consume a lot of spirit stones, which is why he hasn't used them. Only Jiang Nan had the money, and when he was being chased by the Heavenly Sword Sect, he used the secret method to contact them, which allowed him and Senior Brother Song to arrive in time to rescue them.

Now that they had just acquired a large fortune, the spirit stones consumed by the secret technique were nothing to them. So Jiang Ning spread the word, asking Nangong Yue to save people.

half a month later.

Jiang Ning and his group reunited with Senior Brother Song and the others. Upon reuniting, they discovered that not only Su Bo had been poisoned, but Senior Brother Song and several other senior brothers also had the same symptoms. Su Bo had encountered the Bat King and his symptoms were the most severe. He had suffered another attack of the poison in the past two weeks, making the search for Nangong Yue an urgent matter.

Another month passed, and Nangong Yue came to them, reaching a cooperation agreement with the Qingshan Sect. She would detoxify the Qingshan Sect disciples, and in return, the Qingshan Sect disciples would guarantee her safety inside the Cloud Cave. After the agreement was reached, Nangong Yue began to work on detoxifying them.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Except for Su Bo, who still has residual poison, the poison in everyone else's bodies has been eliminated by Nangong Yue.

That day, Ye Lan was assisting Nangong Yue. He'd seen her in women's clothing for what felt like the umpteenth time, and he still found it hard to believe she was actually a beautiful girl. Although someone had told him "Nangong Yue is a girl" when they first met, he only dared to fully believe it when he saw her in women's clothing. This Nangong Yue was completely different from the description he'd read. He was genuinely curious: if Nangong Yue was a woman, what about Jiang Ning? Would they end up being bisexual? The thought sent a shiver down Ye Lan's spine.

Nangong Yue was completely unaware of the strange thoughts swirling in his mind. She was intently detoxifying Su Bo; this was her last time administering acupuncture. Su Bo lay naked on the wooden bed. She inserted silver needles into Su Bo's meridians, using her spiritual energy to circulate the toxins in his body, guiding them to his palms. Thick, black blood flowed from the pricked fingers, dripping into a basin of water and turning it a reddish-black color.

"It's done." Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief. The bat king's poison was quite potent. Her cultivation was only at the late Golden Core stage. If only she could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, she would be confident that she could cure these low-level poisons in a day.

"Put his clothes on. He'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. I'm going to start my cultivation now."

Nangong Yue said this to Ye Lan.

"Thank you, Miss Nangong. Let me see you out." Ye Lan came back to her senses and, hearing that Nangong Yue was leaving, offered to see her out.

"No need. Just take good care of the injured. Do you think I'll get kidnapped on such a short walk?"

Nangong Yue winked playfully. She quite liked teasing this male cultivator named Ye Lan. He was a good cook, had a good temper, and most importantly, was good-looking.

Ye Lan chuckled, watching her skip and hop out, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

They were in a wooden hut. These huts had been built a month and a half ago to provide a place for their fellow disciples to heal and cultivate. All the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect had gathered here, so they weren't afraid of anyone openly launching a sneak attack.

He turned to get clothes for Su Bo, and when he turned back, he saw Su Bo still lying on the wooden bed, and Su Bo's ears were suspiciously red.

"Is there anything wrong?" Could it be that the poison hasn't been completely neutralized?

"Her hands are so soft."

Ye Lan: "???"

What reckless words!
