"What?!"

"Senior Brother Liu is seriously injured? When and how did he get hurt?"

Ji Yuan asked several questions in one breath, surprised.

He didn't have many friends, and Liu Yuan was one of the rare ones he felt a connection with, so hearing he was severely injured naturally made him very concerned.

"I don't know the specifics either. I just received a message from Master and came back from outside."

Rou Yi finished speaking, paused slightly, but still transmitted a message to Ji Yuan.

"I heard it's related to things with Liancheng Mountain, so if you don't have any urgent matters in the near future, it's better not to go outside."

Related to Liancheng Mountain... Isn't that being my scapegoat?

Ji Yuan's heart stirred, and he quickly said, "Let's go. I'll go with Senior Sister and visit Senior Brother Liu first."

"Alright."

Rou Yi glanced at Ji Yuan's flying boat.

Ji Yuan awkwardly explained, "I had a fight outside this time, and my flying boat was smashed, so I can only use this for now."

"Use mine, it's faster."

"Alright."

Ji Yuan leaped onto Rou Yi's flying sword and put away his Scarlet Skies Skiff.

Although they were already at Cloud Rain Marsh, there was still some distance from the Water Dragon Sect. If he had taken Ji Yuan's Scarlet Skies Skiff, it would take several days to reach.

Currently, riding Rou Yi's flying sword took only half a day to arrive at Liu Yuan's island.

Ji Yuan had visited here before and was familiar with the place.

Rou Yi's flying sword landed directly at the entrance of Liu Yuan's Cave Mansion. Perhaps a few days had passed, but now Liu Yuan could sit up by himself, reading at the table.

"Senior Sister, Brother Ji, why have you come together?"

Liu Yuan stood up slowly, clearly indicating his injuries were quite severe.

"Met on the way, so we came together. How are you?"

Rou Yi sat across from Liu Yuan without hesitation.

"After taking the elixir given by Master, I'm much better now," Liu Yuan forced a smile.

"As long as your foundation isn't harmed."

"It's not. I deliberately avoided it at the time."

Ji Yuan looked at Liu Yuan a few times and then took out a healing elixir—added with Quenching Acupoint Pearl's Qi Blood Pill from his storage bag.

This thing can even open acupoints, the abundant Qi blood it contains needs no further description.

It's a wonderful medicine for body cultivators and a holy product for healing.

"Brother Liu, try my elixir."

Ji Yuan pushed the elixir, landing it in Liu Yuan's hand.

"Oh."

Liu Yuan naturally recognized it was a Qi Blood Pill, something he's been taking quite often these days. However, the Qi blood in Ji Yuan's pill seemed... more abundant?

Since Ji Yuan gave it to him, he didn't doubt it, swallowed it in one go, and instantly refined it.

Initially, he felt nothing, but as the medicinal properties spread out, things changed. His originally pale face instantly became rosier, Qi blood rapidly replenishing the damaged body. While relieving pain, it also brought some comfort, causing him to hum a few times involuntarily.

Rou Yi was surprised to see this, looking at Ji Yuan.

"I'm an alchemist. I added some precious Earth Treasures to this Qi Blood Pill. The effect is extraordinarily good."

Ji Yuan smilingly confessed, never lying about it.

Rou Yi thought for a moment and still opened her mouth to say:

"I wonder if you have any left, I wish to purchase a few."

It's extremely good, life-saving.

Otherwise, Rou Yi wouldn't have opened her mouth like that.

"There aren't many left. Those Earth Treasures are scarce, and after using them once, they're gone. Since Senior Sister needs it, I shall give her one."

Ji Yuan handed over another modified Qi Blood Pill.

To him, it isn't valuable. One Spirit Pig can produce one.

Rou Yi didn't ask for much, so instead of earning dozens of Spirit Stones, it's better to gain favor.

A favor from someone with a suspected Fake Pill, at least the Peak of Foundation Establishment, is worth more than those Spirit Stones.

"Well..."

Rou Yi looked at the elixir in her hand encased in a Jade Bottle.

"I don't have much left, Senior Sister. Just keep it safe and don't tell others," Ji Yuan advised.

"Alright, thank you, Junior Brother."

Rou Yi didn't expect to have this gain from her trip. After putting away the elixir, she cupped her fists toward Ji Yuan.

While they spoke, Liu Yuan also finished refining the medicinal power of the Qi Blood Pill. Although his injuries weren't fully healed, they improved significantly, and the remaining ones could only be slowly recuperated.

He circulated his energy and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood, which hadn't hit the ground before he swept it into ashes, followed by rinsing his mouth with Spiritual Spring, and his aura improved greatly.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for saving me."

Liu Yuan stood up, saluted Ji Yuan, and spoke softly.

"You're too kind, Brother Liu."

Ji Yuan glanced at Rou Yi, all three were returning from Liancheng Mountain, and being disciples of a Golden Core Zhenren, especially Liu Yuan and Rou Yi as disciples of the Great Elder, they surely knew of certain matters.

"Moreover, this matter originated because of me."

Ji Yuan shook his head bitterly, "Unexpectedly implicating Brother Liu."

Liu Yuan seemed displeased, "Brother Ji, your words make me seem petty. Moreover, if I encountered this, I would definitely report to the sect. By then, would you blame me for implicating you?"

"Alright."

Rou Yi knocked on the table, interrupting their sentimental exchange.

"First, let's talk about what exactly happened."

Liu Yuan withdrew his gaze, recalled briefly, then said, "The attack occurred outside Black Mountain City. At that time, I was preparing to return to the sect from outside the city, but someone emerged from somewhere and suddenly targeted me with lethal intent, each move deadly and highly destructive."
