Chapter 8: Midnight Fright

Although Duan Tiannan is a top-notch master among the human race, he could not make a decision immediately at this critical juncture. He thought for a while and finally broke the breathless silence of everyone.

"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Everyone was shocked. It sounded like the sect leader actually wanted to give medicine to save people.

The smoke of the demonic fire burning the city is imminent, and even the masters of the Xuanmen sect dare not guarantee that their lives will not be in danger. Over the past few years, in order to save the sect's chief and elders, there are only six life-saving pills left. Now they have to use them to save an ordinary person?

Dongfang Ruimang was originally preparing to leave, but at this moment his green face froze. He had never expected the sect leader to say this, and his eyes were full of questioning.

Huo Kaishan also said: "Master, the monsters may attack at any time, are you going to..."

Duan Tiannan waved his hand and said, "Don't hesitate, Lord Huo. When it comes to saving people, we should prioritize them, not their status, right?"

Huo Kaishan remained silent upon hearing this.

Duan Tiannan nodded, and then said to Dongfang Ruimang: "Master knows that it is not easy for you to refine medicine, but no matter how good the elixir is, it is created to save people."

Dongfang Ruimang was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Disciple, I will teach you." Then he waved to the two young disciples, signaling them to help Chen Qingzhou into the back hall.

Since the Sect Master had made up his mind, neither the depressed Huo Kaishan, the relaxed Nie Xinzhu, nor the pleased Lan Tingluo and Xuanyuan Changqing said anything else.

Chen Qingzhou was helped by two disciples to the attic behind the Haotian Palace. The place was filled with immortal air and the aroma of agarwood, and had a very immortal style. It was called Dengxianju, and it was the place where Dongfang Ruimang developed elixirs.

Dongfang Ruimang stared at Chen Qingzhou, whose skin was purple and blue and who was almost dying. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to save him, but wanted to find out something from him.

After a while, he shook his head and walked towards an exquisite mahogany cabinet at the innermost part of the attic.

The cabinet door opened, revealing six small boxes made of mutton-fat jade neatly placed inside. He opened one of the small boxes, and inside, surrounded by fairy air, a red pill lay quietly.

Dongfang Ruimang looked at the Life-Sustaining Pill carefully, shook his head regretfully, and with a wave of his fat hand, the pill flew into the air and into Chen Qingzhou's mouth.

Chen Qingzhou felt like he was about to freeze to death and couldn't even open his mouth, but the pill seemed to be psychic and went into his mouth in the blink of an eye.

The Xuanmen treasure was indeed extraordinary. Just a few seconds after eating it, Chen Qingzhou felt an indescribable warmth all over his body, as if ice and snow were melting.

After a while, he exhaled deeply, knowing that his life was saved, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Master Dongfang, for the medicine!"

Dongfang Ruimang looked indifferent, "Waste, waste."

Chen Qingzhou was stunned and thought to himself, "Even if you saved me, you can't insult me!" He then angrily said, "Green Ball, what are you so proud of? I didn't ask you to save me!"

Dongfang Ruimang was a little surprised to see that he dared to contradict him, "Are you dissatisfied?"

Chen Qingzhou said: "Of course I don't accept it!"

"prove."

Chen Qingzhou said angrily: "Just wait! I will prove to you that your broken medicine is not wasted!"

Dongfang Ruimang snorted coldly, said nothing more, turned around and continued to prepare the stone powder potion.

As soon as Chen Qingzhou said this, he suddenly felt that he had gone too far. The rarity of this medicine must be far beyond imagination. Any random sweeper on Tianshan Mountain might be more powerful than him. No wonder Green Ball felt it was a waste.

But I have already said that big thing, and I feel embarrassed to say anything more now.

Afterwards, Chen Qingzhou was arranged to stay in a room, where he was told that he would observe the effects of the medicine for a few days and adjust his camera.

"what?"

Chen Qingzhou was surprised. How did his attributes change? His physical and mental strength increased by 5 points, and his comprehension increased by 2 points.

"Is this the effect of the Life-Suspension Pill?"

[The master had previously comprehended "Have You Not Seen" and had just taken a top-grade elixir, which indeed improved some of his attributes.]

Sure enough, he felt even more apologetic towards Green Ball.

【Exit the system.】

Chen Qingzhou looked at the table, on which was a bottle of medicinal wine left for him to neutralize the venom of cold snakes, called Chun Yang Rong Xue.

In real life, he likes to have a few drinks with Xiaoqiang. Now he was tired and greedy, so he drank a glass. Unexpectedly, the taste was mellow, not harsh on the throat, and the aftertaste was sweet. It turned out to be a good wine.

As he drank, he looked around the room. There were many medical books on the bookshelf, one of which was Dongfang Ruimang's book that recorded the method of brewing Chunyang Melting Snow. He began to read it with great interest.

An hour passed, the alcohol started to take effect, and with the fatigue from recovering from my illness, I dived into bed.

I slept soundly and deeply, and I don’t know how long it took...

In a daze, Chen Qingzhou felt a chill on his neck. He instinctively wanted to pull the quilt up, but touched something cold.

When he opened his eyes dazedly, he saw a thin black shadow lying across the bed, holding a dagger at his neck.

"Who! You...what are you doing?"

Chen Qingzhou was startled and woke up instantly.

The shadow's face was very close to him, but he couldn't see it clearly because of the moonlight.

"Don't be nervous, little demon. My knife is very fast."

A clear and pleasant female voice!

Chen Qingzhou was so nervous that he stuttered, "My name is not Xiaoyao, you got the wrong person, didn't you?!"

"hehe!"

The shadow sneered, his tone contemptuous, "You guys are really cut from the same cloth, your lines are all the same..."

Before he finished speaking, the shadow suddenly paused, as if he felt something was wrong. "What did you just say?"

Chen Qingzhou swallowed his saliva and said, "I said my name is not Xiaoyao, did the girl recognize the wrong person?"

"hiss……"

The woman in black suddenly straightened her body, her long black hair fell like silk, and the dagger in her hand also left Chen Qingzhou's neck.

She muttered to herself, as if she was in self-doubt, "That's not right. Shouldn't they just say 'I'm not a demon'? Or just show their true form and start fighting. Why doesn't this guy follow the routine?"

Only then did Chen Qingzhou see the other person clearly. The black nightgown wrapped tightly around her body, revealing her delicate curves without reservation.

What's even more interesting is that a pair of thin and long "black silk" beautiful legs are straddling on both sides of her waist and hips, with the knees bent into a standard right angle.

Although her face was wrapped in black veil, her eyes were large and deep, her eyelashes were long and curly, and her skin was as white as snow. She was unlike any of the local women Chen Qingzhou had seen.

"It looks like Fengjiu!"

Chen Qingzhou sighed in his heart, that was his favorite movie and TV character.

As I regained consciousness, I smelled a faint fragrance.

In the dead of night, a man and a woman were alone, and they were very passionate...

Chen Qingzhou didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly explained: "Miss, my name is Chen Qingzhou, just an ordinary person, you must have recognized the wrong person." As he said that, he was about to stand up.

"do not move!"

The dagger was pressed against Chen Qingzhou's neck again.

The woman swore, "Why haven't I seen you on the mountain?"

The sharp blade cut directly into Chen Qingzhou's skin!

For some reason, the woman seemed to want to kill Chen Qingzhou immediately.
