Chapter 71: Isn’t she blind? Can’t she see this?
Divine Peak!
At this moment, Lu Yaoyao was repeatedly listening to the sound coming from the Sound Transmission Crane while scribbling on paper.
"Taptaptap..."
She thought it might be Zhou conveying a secret message to her, also as a test, once deciphered, they might even become friends.
"Are you really not getting it or pretending not to get it? This is clearly the sound of that dumb chicken pecking at food, it’s just messing with you!"
Just then, Li Daoxuan and He Han came from behind, unable to hold back their words.
"I know, but I’m idle anyway, what if?" Lu Yaoyao continued to listen attentively.
The two couldn’t help but smile wryly.
After all, the fact that the little junior sister wanted to friend Zhou Qing was no secret to them.
Luckily, that kid was sensible enough, but unexpectedly, the master even gave the little junior sister such a good thing as the Sound Transmission Paper Crane.
This was a lifesaving item for emergencies, with a long flying distance.
However, what happened today still needed to be told to the little junior sister, though they were reluctant, it was a necessary warning.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan signaled to He Han, who could only sit down and say, "That, Zhou Qing was attacked again, badly injured."
Lu Yaoyao’s hand, still scribbling, suddenly froze, and she turned her head abruptly.
Li Daoxuan’s face was serious: "The news from Little Spirit Peak is that the enemy’s methods are extremely mysterious this time. Once injured, even a pinhole-sized wound will bleed continuously, unable to stop."
"So, the master reminds all disciples who participated in the mission to find the missing ones back then, regardless of the reason, if bleeding cannot be stopped, do not stay alone and try to heal yourself, as it will be extremely dangerous. You must quickly find someone to help, or else, you might faint in some corner, and everyone would think you were in secluded cultivation."
He Han nodded repeatedly: "That’s right. If treatment is not timely, even your corpse might rot without anyone knowing. This time, Zhou Qing did well by seeking Yan Xiaohu’s help at the first moment..."
"How is he now?" Lu Yaoyao urgently interrupted.
The two shook their heads: "We don’t know yet, master and several elders are already out looking for him... Hey, wait, we’ll go together!"
...
Little Spirit Peak!
Zhou Qing sat outside the courtyard, greedily basking in the sun, intermittently using his intact right hand to shield his eyes, feeling a sense of solidity.
Confirmed not dreaming, his hand was still there!
Beside him, Yan Xiaohu had an embarrassed look, followed by admiration: "Indeed master is something else, not only stopped the bleeding but even saved your hand. I still don’t know how he did it, completely scared me."
At this moment, Zhou Qing felt a chill down his spine.
He fully believed that his master really wanted to cut off his hand back then, at least the bleeding finger would be entirely chopped off.
If his guess was correct, just at the moment his master acted, half of his blood had gone out, so they made a timely stop, a little more bleeding and the hand would be gone.
At this thought, Zhou Qing felt a chill run down his back.
In the past, he thought Yan was unreliable; now it seemed, the higher-ups are corrupt and the lower-ups follow suit.
However——
Zhou Qing licked his lips, still a light fragrance remained.
Moreover, the blood in his meridians, along with spiritual power flow, kept stimulating the body’s blood-producing function, accelerating blood generation, besides repair, also with slight enhancement.
"It’s Blood Origin Pill!"
Swiftly, Zhou Qing guessed, feeling grateful.
It was a high-grade pill, he’d seen it introduced in the exchange hall before, needing at least thirty mid-grade spirit stones to get one.
What a mess this caused!
Beside him, Yan Xiaohu looked at silent Zhou Qing and his head sweating, gritted his teeth and turned back inside.
He quickly came out holding a small section of a root about the size of a thin needle.
"Old Four, don’t blame me for giving bad advice, you didn’t know how dangerous it was; I was scared stiff. Knowing you are resentful, here, this counts as compensation!"
Yan Xiaohu handed over the root with a sorry smile.
Zhou Qing looked at the root, thin, tough, winding stretch, seeming to naturally grow mysterious veins.
A strong life aura came from it, mixed with a light herbal fragrance, rich and distant.
Just a light sniff made him feel relaxed and his dizziness significantly alleviated.
"Third Senior Brother, this is?"
Seeing Zhou Qing call him Third Senior Brother again, Yan Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly introduced with heartache: "A tiny root of Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng, possessing unbelievable vitality, eating it ensures recovery within two hours."
"Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng?" Zhou Qing was shocked.
Yan Xiaohu quickly said: "Don’t look at me like that, I don’t own such a thing. A whole Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng can’t be exchanged even if we sell the entire Taiqing Sect. I just luckily got one or two small roots. Remember, chew slowly!"
Looking at the precious root, Zhou Qing felt deeply touched.
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother!"
After saying this, he put it into his mouth, chewing bit by bit, along with an immense life essence.
After swallowing, he could clearly feel the accelerated blood regeneration.
"Zhou! Zhou——"
Just then, Lu Yaoyao came rushing from outside.
She pushed open the half-covered courtyard door and stormed in.
The two sitting outside exchanged glances.
Yan Xiaohu blinked, pointing inside.
"Is she blind? Can’t see two grown men sitting by the door?"
But Zhou Qing could only laugh.
Soon, Lu Yaoyao came running back outside, looking at Yan Xiaohu.
"Yan, Zhou, has he gone back? How is he now?" Lu Yaoyao asked anxiously, with three consecutive questions.
Yan Xiaohu sighed looking at Lu Yaoyao.
What a waste of her beauty, especially those big eyes.
"Lu, I know you are worried, but don’t be so biased. You can see me sunbathing by the right door but not Zhou by the left?"
Yan Xiaohu pointed beside him.
Lu Yaoyao turned to see Zhou Qing sitting there pale-faced.
She was stunned!
But when she ran inside earlier, she only saw Yan Xiaohu sitting there.
Ignoring this now, Lu Yaoyao quickly went over.
"Zhou, are you okay?" Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing’s weak breath and bloodless face, feeling heartache.
[Heart Mirror Points +6]
The original [So powerful] above her head turned into [So Heartache]!
Seeing her genuine eyes, and the note above her head, Zhou Qing felt a warm sensation in his heart.
"I’m fine, I’ve already taken medicine, I’ll be better soon, don’t worry!"
Lu Yaoyao did not believe it, quickly holding his wrist.
Indeed, besides severe weakness, there was still a strong essence nourishing him.
"What’s going on? Their retaliation keeps coming one after another!" Lu Yaoyao was furious.
