“Sheng Yi, shouldn’t you stop bothering Daoist Feng?”
Bai Sheng Yi had just reached Zhu Wu’s spirit artifact floating on the sea when she heard Bai Mu Rong’s voice.
“I watched you grow up, how could I not know what you can do? You can’t treat illnesses, you haven’t even finished reading the medical books at home. You’d better not delay Daoist Feng in saving Daoist Chu.”
Bai Mu Rong’s brows were slightly furrowed, her expression one of worry. Although her words were sincere and gentle, they could not hide her scolding and belittling of Bai Sheng Yi.
She made it sound as if Bai Sheng Yi trying to save Chu Tian Le was a grave mistake.
Bai Sheng Yi’s face immediately fell, and she sneered, “Who are you? Your cultivation isn’t great, but your mouth sure is gossipy. And you watched me grow up? Are you some old monster in disguise?”
“Sheng Yi! How can you talk to me like that? I am your sister, and I am doing this for your own good…”
Before Bai Mu Rong could finish, Bai Sheng Yi scoffed and interrupted, “Don’t, I can’t accept that. I don’t have a sister like you.”
The Samsara Brush appeared in her left hand. Bai Sheng Yi habitually spun it, casting a indifferent glance at Bai Mu Rong, warning her, “Bai Mu Rong, we already fell out long ago. Don’t come to me pretending to be kind and belittle me. I find it disgusting. I warn you, if you cause any more trouble, don’t blame me for killing you!”
She was defiant and arrogant, her tone flippant, as if her harsh words were just casual remarks.
But the air seemed to freeze instantly.
Bai Mu Rong’s back felt a chill, and she couldn’t help but step back repeatedly.
If Li Shi Qing hadn’t reacted quickly, she would have fallen into the sea.
“You, you…” she stammered for a long time, but was too scared to form a complete sentence. She threw herself onto Li Shi Qing, crying aggrievedly, “Wuwu, Sister Li, how could she bully me like this…”
Li Shi Qing originally wanted to comfort her, but she looked in the distance, where Bai Sheng Yi had already begun examining Chu Tian Le. Her expression was focused, and her movements were skilled, not at all like Bai Mu Rong said she couldn’t treat illnesses.
A wave of doubt and impatience suddenly surged in her heart.
Why had Mu Rong become like this?
Seeing that Li Shi Qing wasn’t comforting her as usual, but like everyone else, was focusing her gaze on Bai Sheng Yi, Bai Mu Rong felt even more jealous and resentful.
Fine!
Everyone believes Bai Sheng Yi and not me, right?
Let’s see what that blind woman Bai Sheng Yi can do to cure Chu Tian Le! If Chu Tian Le doesn’t wake up and dies instead, that would be hilarious!
Then, Bai Sheng Yi would have to wait to offend the Chu family to death!
Bai Mu Rong stared intently at Bai Sheng Yi’s every move, noticing that Bai Sheng Yi was just holding Chu Tian Le’s wrist without doing anything else. She felt even more that Bai Sheng Yi actually knew nothing and was just putting on a show.
She increasingly looked forward to seeing Bai Sheng Yi fail.
Bai Sheng Yi was actually investigating the situation inside Chu Tian Le.
She wasn’t very skilled in using cultivation world methods for treatment yet, only mental healing techniques. This required her to find the true cause of Chu Tian Le’s illness.
She suspected that Chu Tian Le was suffering from the Thousand Soul Worm Silk, but the Samsara Brush had said that the Thousand Soul Worm Silk only fed on spirit beasts and Ying Jin. Therefore, she needed to check if Chu Tian Le had any other internal injuries from being at the bottom of the sea that caused severe bleeding.
But to her confusion, there was none.
Instead, those Thousand Soul Worm Silks, in places invisible to others, were like extremely fine needles, scrambling to burrow into Chu Tian Le’s skin.
Chu Tian Le’s complexion visibly paled, then turned ashen.
“Not good!” Feng Wu Ya hurriedly stuffed a third-grade blood-replenishing pill into him, waving his small handkerchief with heartache. “This is a secret recipe of my Feng family, and I only have one. I hope it can hold for a while. You must let Chu Tian Le repay me later!”
Li Shi Qing and Luo Fei Hua said, “Are ordinary blood-replenishing pills useful? I have some here.”
Feng Wu Ya shook his head, “Probably not. He didn’t suffer any external injuries.” Ordinary blood-replenishing pills are only effective for cultivators who have lost a lot of blood due to external injuries.
Bai Mu Rong said, “Sheng Yi, you’ve been looking for a long time, do you have a solution?”
Although she tried hard to hide it, her voice was soft and gentle, yet it could not conceal the schadenfreude in her eyes.
Li Shi Qing frowned.
Bai Sheng Yi, however, completely ignored Bai Mu Rong and said to Zhu Wu, “Daoist Zhu, could you please lay Chu Tian Le flat on your spirit artifact?”
Zhu Wu’s spirit artifact was a small boat, just large enough for two people to lie on. After he laid Chu Tian Le down, Bai Sheng Yi squatted and ran her fingers from the top of Chu Tian Le’s head down his entire body.
Bai Sheng Yi’s spiritual power had already been nearly depleted in the sea earlier. Now, in order to save Chu Tian Le, she was essentially draining her own spiritual power.
Fortunately, her breakthrough in advancement had also raised her spiritual power to B—, otherwise, she would not have been able to withstand such an ordeal.
Even so, Bai Sheng Yi was barely holding on.
She used her spiritual power to peel away the Thousand Soul Worm Silks from Chu Tian Le one by one and used healing techniques to repair the “wormholes” that had been drilled into Chu Tian Le’s body…
Time ticked by. The crowd didn’t hold much hope for Bai Sheng Yi and were considering whether to ask the academy for help. Then they saw Chu Tian Le’s face, which had been entangled by black mist, gradually emerge.
Then his neck, followed by his clothes, which were stuck with black grime and their original color was indiscernible…
“He’s recovering! These dark, sticky things have all been peeled off!”
“Chu Tian Le’s complexion is improving!”
“His hand moved!”
Feng Wu Ya, Luo Fei Hua, and Li Shi Qing spoke one after another. The three of them were overjoyed and stared intently.
Bai Mu Rong was also staring, her eyes almost popping out. She couldn’t believe that Bai Sheng Yi actually had a way to save Chu Tian Le! What kind of evil sorcery had she used!
Bai Mu Rong gritted her teeth, staring fiercely, wishing she could bore a hole through Bai Sheng Yi’s hand with her gaze.
Bai Sheng Yi naturally sensed Bai Mu Rong’s malice, but she didn’t have time to retort now because she discovered that the Thousand Soul Worm Silk had burrowed into Chu Tian Le’s brain. This was the true reason Chu Tian Le was unconscious.
The Thousand Soul Worm Silk was too slender, and the brain was extremely important to cultivators. Bai Sheng Yi dared not be careless and feared that the Chu family elders might have placed some life-saving spiritual imprint on Chu Tian Le, as depicted in some federal novels, which could backfire and harm her.
Therefore, she had to be extremely cautious.
It wasn’t until a full quarter of an hour later that Bai Sheng Yi forced the Thousand Soul Worm Silk out of Chu Tian Le’s body.
She breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew her hand, saying, “He’s fine.”
Then her whole body went limp and she fell.
“Daoist Bai!”
Luo Fei Hua, who was closest, quickly helped her onto her flying spirit artifact.
Bai Sheng Yi said, “I’m fine, I just need to rest.”
Feng Wu Ya was already examining Chu Tian Le. Upon examination, he became so excited that he jumped up.
Chu Tian Le’s black mist was gone, and although he hadn’t woken up yet, he was completely healed!
This was incredible!
“It’s miraculous! Bai Sheng Yi, how did you do it?” Feng Wu Ya tightly clutched his small handkerchief and leaned towards Luo Fei Hua’s spirit artifact, asking eagerly, “Do you want to consider being an alchemist in the future? I think you’re a born alchemist!”
“Scram, scram!” Luo Fei Hua didn’t hide her disdain for Feng Wu Ya at all. Her slender figure shielded Bai Sheng Yi, and she snorted, “Feng Wu Ya, don’t try to flirt with people!”
She turned to Bai Sheng Yi and said, “Daoist Bai, I think you’re a born pharmacist! Don’t listen to him, he’s never reliable!”
“She should be an alchemist!” Feng Wu Ya retorted, unwilling. How could such a good talent like Bai Sheng Yi go to be a pharmacist.
“Be a pharmacist!” Luo Fei Hua snorted coldly, “Feng Wu Ya is sick!”
“Alchemist!”
“Pharmacist!”
…
The two of them actually started arguing like this, back and forth.
Bai Mu Rong watched from the side. Even Li Shi Qing’s eyes were filled with admiration and approval as she looked at Bai Sheng Yi, and she even smiled. The string in her mind called “reason” suddenly snapped!
She couldn’t help but open her mouth and say, “Is Daoist Chu really cured by Sheng Yi? Why hasn’t he woken up yet?”
