Stunningly beautiful young lady

Su Qing stared warily at the man before her, but he looked so familiar...

Such perfect angles, a stunningly beautiful face, and a tall, slender figure...

Isn't this the man I saw here a while ago? He was injured and unconscious at the time. I never expected him to be so strong.

It took the monkey a while to get up from the ground. Seeing that the two people in front of it didn't seem like they were going to fight, it immediately darted into the outer edge of the forest and ran away.

Su Qing saw that the man in front of her did not seem to want to hurt her; otherwise, he would not have saved her from the ape's clutches.

She sheathed her sword and thanked the man before her:

"Thank you for your help, young master."

After speaking, he immediately took two steps back, creating some distance between himself and the person.

"One thousand silver coins, thank you for saving me."

He then took out a thousand silver coins, put them in a bag, and handed them to the man who had saved his life.

Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to accept it, Su Qing assumed he thought it wasn't enough.

"two thousand."

She frowned slightly, then took out another thousand silver coins from her spatial storage. Now she only had one hundred silver coins left from the pills she had just sold to the Blazing Fire Legion.

It seems that refining elixirs requires a lot of capital, and being saved by others also consumes a great deal of resources.

Su Qing saw that the man in front of her had not yet accepted the silver coins in her hand, and was about to put them directly into his hand, but then the man spoke.

"I don't want the money. You saved me once, and I'll repay you once. Just give me back the knife."

He held out his palm, gesturing for Su Qing to return his knife to him.

Long Ying stared in astonishment, frozen in place like a wooden statue, his mouth agape in an "O" shape, big enough to fit an egg!

When did Master take the initiative to speak to women? And so closely at that. Usually, it's the women who catch a glimpse of Master's appearance and strength and come to fawn over him, while Master keeps a few steps away from them.

This time, it was actually the master who took the initiative to approach, while others took the initiative to distance themselves from the master.

He swallowed hard in horror. He had never seen anything like this before in all the years he had followed his master, nor had his other brothers. He needed time to process this.

They even forgot to watch the spirit beast fleeing nearby.

Su Qing looked at the man's outstretched hand, took the man's dagger from her spatial storage, and handed it back to him.

'Blood Moon' sensed its master's presence, and the sword immediately trembled slightly.

Its owner finally came to pick it up; otherwise, it would have been driven to despair.

He had a demigod-level killing weapon, yet this woman was using it to kill rabbits, whittle sticks, and gut fish...

It felt like it wasn't clean anymore...

The man casually tossed his Blood Moon back into his spatial dimension. The Blood Moon felt that its master no longer loved it, having tossed it in without even glancing at it.

Then, as if by magic, two bottles of pills appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"I'll give you the Qi-Strengthening Pill and the Heart-Protecting Pill as a way of repaying you for saving my life."

The dragon shadow in the distance had just recovered from its surprise when it heard its master say the words "Heart Protection Pill" and immediately became anxious.

The master doesn't have many of these Heart-Protecting Pills to begin with, and they need to be taken when the poison takes effect. Otherwise, if the toxins enter the heart, the master's life may be hanging by a thread at any moment.

"Master, you mustn't!"

A figure appeared out of thin air in front of Su Qing, kneeling on one knee behind the man before her.

"These Heart-Protecting Pills were already scarce, and the medicinal herbs needed to refine them are extremely difficult to collect..."

"shut up!"

Murong Cheng interrupted Long Ying in time. Although he treated his subordinates well, he did not allow them to make decisions about his affairs.

Su Qing had only heard of the former of these two pills—the Guyuan Pill, which is the same as the Guben Pill.

However, the Strengthening Pill is a first-grade spiritual medicine, which can be very effective for people with low spiritual power;

The Gu Yuan Dan is a fourth-grade pill, and the two are not even in the same league. The healing effect of the Gu Yuan Dan is far more effective than that of the Gu Ben Dan.

Moreover, the stronger the individual, the greater their need for the Qi-strengthening Pill; ordinary Qi-strengthening Pills have absolutely no effect on them.

I saw this while studying first and second grade pills. The fourth grade Guyuan Pill was also marked next to the Guben Pill. I only found out about it after flipping through the book.

Although this was the first time I had heard of the Heart-Protecting Pill, just hearing the name of the pill made me realize that it must be something special.

Hearing the man's conversation further confirmed the preciousness of the elixir; she had only used the simplest hemostatic herbs to stop the man's bleeding.

If you're talking about repaying someone, anything else will do.

Besides, Su Qing isn't the type to repay someone with something just because they saved her life; saving someone is entirely based on chemistry and her mood.

"No need, we're already even."

Su Qing took another step back, determined not to accept the pills no matter what the man said.

Murong Cheng glared at Long Ying. If it weren't for his loose tongue, the person in front of him would have already accepted his pills.

Seeing that the person in front of him, who was seriously injured, really didn't want to accept his pills, he was at a loss. His hand, which was still hanging in mid-air, was neither able to continue to extend nor to retreat.

“Please accept this pill, young lady. I also have a matter I would like to ask for your help with.”

Although the girl in front of him wasn't very strong yet, he believed that one day she would be completely different from what she was now, and for some reason, he had a feeling that made him believe in her.

"The Bodhi fruit is shaped like a brownish-black hard fruit, and sometimes it emits a pale green light."

Seeing Su Qing look up at him, he inexplicably told her about the spiritual herb he was looking for, asking her to keep an eye out for it if she saw it.

"can."

Seeing that Su Qing agreed, he extended the medicine bottle forward a little more so that Su Qing could reach it.

Forehead......

Su Qing sighed, wondering why this man was so stubborn. She had already told him she didn't want it, but he still insisted on giving it to her.

Seeing Su Qing's actions, the man stared intently at her again. These two bottles of pills weren't the last ones he had, and he still wanted Su Qing to accept them.

Seeing that the man might try to force it on her, Su Qing took the Qi-stabilizing pill from his hand, leaving the Heart-protecting pill in his possession.

"I'll take this one, but I don't need the other one. You can take it back yourself."

Su Qing shook the Qi-stabilizing pill in her hand, signaling the man to put the other bottle of pills away.

"My name is Su Qing. Thank you for the medicine."

Murong Cheng withdrew his hand and introduced himself.

"My name is Murong Cheng."

"If Miss Su discovers anything, simply infuse it with spiritual energy, and I will receive the message and come to her."

He took out a spirit stone and handed it to Su Qing.

The spirit stone was dark gray and seemed unremarkable, but Su Qing immediately realized that it was no ordinary stone when she touched it; it even contained spiritual power.

Who exactly is the man before her? How can he be so powerful, and even the strength of his subordinates is beyond her comprehension...?
