Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Demanding Money

Lian Qi slightly turned her head. Her eyes fell on Mo Yunxi's pale face, who was still unconscious.

She understood entirely that she had been reborn. Senior sister Mo Yunxi was really the darling of heaven, the harbinger of luck, the daughter of fate. No matter what happens, there will always be many kinds of powerful men who will appear just in time to save her.

For example, this time, Mo Yunxi was protected by Lu Tianfeng all the time, and her injuries were not serious at all. Rather than being unconscious because of injuries, it was better to say that she fainted because of a huge shock.

On the contrary, Lu Tianfeng … Lian Qi looked at the black-robed man whose face became paler and paler. He was a Golden Core cultivator, and ordinary poisons couldn't harm him. But the poison currently invading his body comes from a Devil Realm's fifth-rank devil beast.

The cultivation levels started from Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and finally Spirit Severing. These cultivation levels corresponded to devil beasts' five ranks. A fifth-rank beast equivalent to a Spirit Severing cultivator, which was two realms higher than Lu Tianfeng and gave him a hard time.

Therefore, after he got poisoned, Lu Tianfeng must endure the pain of ten thousand needles day and night. It happened once every hour, a pain worse than death.

"This is …" Qingfeng Valley sect leader handed Mo Yunxi over to another female disciple.

She lightly tapped her fingers and quickly diagnosing Lu Tianfeng's poison. The sect leader's face turned ugly. She was just a Golden Core seventh realm cultivator, and her medical cultivation was in the third rank. This poison was out of her ability.

"Fellow Daoist Lu should return to Qingyun Palace to seek for treatment." The sect leader sighed. If she could, she was willing to cure Lu Tianfeng. If a small sect like Qingfeng Valley could have a good relationship with Qingyun Palace, in the future, they would definitely obtain great benefits.

Lu Tianfeng didn't respond. His thin lips tightened, and he was obviously trying his best to fight the poison in his body. Heavy drops of sweat slipped down his handsome figure. His black robe instantly soaked in sweat.

Lian Qi stood behind the crowd and looked at Lu Tianfeng from afar. A proud young man like him would never allow himself to show any weakness in front of others. But now, he couldn't even go back to ask for help from Qingyun Palace.

The Three Thousand Worlds was mainly occupied by human cultivators and were very large. Qingfeng Valley and Qingyun Palace were separated by many mountains and sea. Even when Lu Tianfeng in perfect health, and with the help of a teleportation array between each small realm, it would still take more than ten days to reach Qingyun Palace.

Moreover, the road was not safe. The Three Thousand Worlds was too big, and there were many kinds of beasts in wild mountains. Lu Tianfeng was now heavily injured and even poisoned, unable to fly in the sky. His cultivation was also temporarily suppressed into the Qi Condensation stage.

And …

Lian Qi carefully recalled her memory. She remembered that Lu Tianfeng, in order to take Mo Yunxi escaped from the palm of the fifth-rank devil beast, used almost all of his live-saving magic tools. Finally, even his storage space item was destroyed by the beast. In his current situation, he has no way to contact Qingyun Palace.

Lian Qi lowered her gaze and stood quietly among the crowd. The reason why she remembered so clearly was that she once experienced the same scene in her previous life. At that time, she had just entered Qingfeng Valley for half a year. As an ordinary disciple, she worked hard every day. Then Lu Tianfeng came back holding Mo Yunxi but was injured and poisoned, unable to contact Qingyun Palace, and no one in Qingfeng Valley could heal his poison.

At that time, Lian Qi was still naive. She decided to become a medical cultivator because she liked the art of healing. In addition to cultivating daily like other cultivators, she also studied various medical spells and techniques in the sect's library pavilion.

All cultivational spells and techniques in Three Thousand Worlds were divided from first to ninth grades. Above ninth grade, there were three realms of heaven, earth, and profound. And medical cultivation level was also graded accordingly.

Lian Qi was indeed very talented in medical cultivation. Although she had been cultivating for half a year and her cultivation progress was slow, but in regards to her medical cultivation, she already reached the peak of the second rank and only needed one opportunity to break through into third rank threshold——almost on the par with the sect leader and other elders.

Cultivating in the medical path was not easy and very different from normal cultivation. In addition to learning all kinds of medical skills, one also needed to improve their proficiency by refining medicine and treating patients. Only when they gained enough proficiency they could break through to the next level.

Lian Qi thoroughly loved learning medicine. That time, she saw how the entire sect was turned upside down and how the young man has to endure the pain of ten thousand needles day and night. So she came forward.

After ten days and ten nights without sleeping and resting, she finally found a way to cure Lu Tianfeng's poison.

It's a pity …

A strange light flashed through Lian Qi's eyes. Her clear and cold eyes fell on Mo Yunxi's beautiful face. Only after reborn did she understand that senior sister Mo Yunxi was the darling of heaven. She was destined to be loved by thousands of people, making countless men crazy over her. Anyone who may threaten her was destined to be miserable.

Lian Qi slightly tilted her head. At that time, she spent ten days and ten nights, and finally relieved Lu Tianfeng's poison and cured his wounds. But before she had time to be happy for her medical skill's breakthrough, she fainted for overusing her strength.

When Lian Qi woke up, it was already the next day. She did not awaken in her small bedroom but was locked in the Qingfeng Valley's dungeon. The dungeon has a prohibition spell set up by the sect leader and the elders. As a weak cultivator in her Qi Condensation stage, Lian Qi has no way to free herself.

She later learned that Mo Yunxi has also woken up. The first thing she did when she woke up was to tell the sect leader and Lu Tianfeng that she had seen a person wearing Qingfeng Valley disciple uniform being together with the devil beast who hurt Lu Tianfeng.

The sect leader discussed this matter with other elders. They thought that Lian Qi was just a weak cultivator in the Qi Condensation stage, and her medical cultivation was only in the second rank. Yet she could cure Lu Tianfeng, which was impossible. The only explanation was that she collaborated with the devil beast in advance. Pretending to detoxify, but just wanted to take the opportunity to climb up to Qingyun Palace's young master. So, they confined her in the dungeon.

Even though she worked hard to save him…Well, although at that time she saved Lu Tianfeng was also to train her medical cultivation. But just because of Mo Yunxi's simple words, they immediately threw Lian Qi into the dungeon for three months without even trying to find evidence.

Three months later, Lian Qi finally left the dungeon.

At that time, she was angry. The dungeon has nothing, and it was also a place with the thinnest aura in Qingfeng Valley. No herbs, she couldn't refine medicine. No new medical spells for her to learn. No people to train her medical cultivation. Both Lian Qi's cultivation base and her medical cultivation progress stagnated for three months. Moreover, she was indeed innocent.

But only after she left the dungeon Lian Qi knew. On the night she was locked in the dungeon, the demons broke through Three Thousand Worlds' barrier and attacked. Everywhere was in a miserable situation, and Qingfeng Valley was almost destroyed. Later, Lu Tianfeng, who had been rescued by her, came forward to turn the tide. He also brought powerful reinforcements from Qingyun Palace to save the people in Qingfeng Valley. It wasn't that the sect never investigated, but they didn't have the time.

During that period, all Qingfeng Valley members practically received some damage. The only one left unscathed was Lian Qi, who stayed inside the dungeon on the valley's deepest part. After that, the entire Qingfeng Valley sect was merged into Qingyun Palace, becoming one of the palace's subordinates sect. This merger was not a trivial matter. The sect leader and all elders had too many things to take care of.

After all the dust had settled, the sect leader immediately asked people to investigate Lian Qi's case. After knew that she was accused unjustly, she was immediately released. And the sect leader personally explained the reason to her. Although the sect leader trusted her own disciple. But Lian Qi, whose talent in medical skill was outstanding, was still very important for the sect.

Qingfeng Valley was located not far from the border that separated Three Thousand Worlds with Demon Realm and Devil Realm. Moreover, it was a small sect and always had to act cautiously. As a Qi Condensation cultivator, Lian Qi could detoxify the poison from a fifth-rank devil beast that plagued a Golden Core cultivator. This was indeed an unimaginable feat. So, it was not entirely groundless for the sect leader to doubt her.

Not to mention that she finally knew that her sect did not intentionally let her be imprisoned for three months. Lian Qi was open-minded, and she did indeed break through the third rank of medical cultivation by curing Lu Tianfeng. With this mindset, she smiled and decided to leave this matter behind.

At that time, Mo Yunxi had become an honorable guest of Qingyun Palace. Everyone knows that Qingyun Palace's young master liked her. But it was no wonder, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator dared to stand bravely in front of Lu Tianfeng to face a fifth-rank devil beast…such a girl, everyone can't help but like her.

As for Lian Qi…probably even Lu Tianfeng had forgotten that the one who actually spend days and nights without any sleep to cure him, and even almost attacked by the devil beast poison from his body, was the young cultivator Lian Qi from Qingfeng Valley.

Lian Qi recovered her sense from her reminiscent and quietly observing Lu Tianfeng, who was still suffering from the poison attack.

What to do this time?

Save him?

Or not?
