I Have Medicine

You Jiong looked at this relaxed appearance of Gongyi Tianheng and tried perceiving his qi energy. He only felt like it was the same as the mountains and the abyss. The bottom of its depths couldn't be seen. Unexpectedly, he couldn't decide what to do for a moment.

But this was only a new disciple. How could his strength be this powerful? This was certainly just putting on an act!

Yet, he recalled the moment those two stones swept his hooks away — He himself understood the most about the force of his two hooks. The amount of energy that those tiny stones had transferred also couldn't be ignored.

While his thoughts continuously turned, You Jiong didn't intend on suffering any losses here. He had no alternative but to begrudgingly say: "You're very good. I'll definitely remember you all!"

After setting down these ruthless words, he turned on the spot and fled, lest he make those people change their minds. With the fastest speed, he turned into an oppressive shadow and left the encirclement!

No one obstructed him.

But his parting words were still etched into the hearts of numerous martial artists.

Once You Jiong departed, Cang Yu and the others let out sighs of relief.

At this time, Gongyi Tianheng pat Gu Zuo's calf. Gu Zuo's face turned red as he quickly jumped off his back, and immediately arrived beside Kang Wenhong.

Because this guy was previously forced by You Jiong to hastily use his martial prowess, it caused his qi and blood to circulate and spread the poison. Right now, the effects of taking the Poison Dispelling Pill would already be non-existent.

Currently, if no one went to save him, he would probably drop dead very quickly.

Princess Yaomin was a woman and the other was a man, so it wasn't good to touch him. Naturally, it could only be left to Gu Zuo.

Gu Zuo quickly crouched in front of Kang Wenhong, and used his fingers to grip the region above the deepest wound. He used his strength to squeeze and make the black blood within rapidly flow out.

However, the condition of Kang Wenhong's injuries were much graver than those of the previous martial artists. It was mainly that there were many more wounds, and attending to one meant neglecting another. This was especially troublesome.

Gu Zuo was really busy for a short while. Although there was a sizable amount of black blood that was squeezed out, the remaining poison had spread very quickly. Even after a while, the efficiency still wasn't that high.

If this continued, there might not been enough time…

After furrowing his eyebrows and pondering, Gu Zuo turned his head and called out: "Princess Yaomin! I'll have to ask that you lend a hand…"

Princess Yaomin hesitated somewhat.

There actually weren't any problems with people from the same clan, but that was an unfamiliar man. If she were to give him treatment, she had to get close and personal… However, the idea of saving him took the lead. She had to be pragmatic in times of emergency, so why bother wasting time? Thus, she also pushed off her elder brother's back. Her dainty feet moved lightly and she quickly arrived beside Gu Zuo.

The words in Gu Zuo's mouth were unending:

"Princess, I'll have to trouble you to press that place first."

"Princess, here."

"Over there, too. Move your hand with me…"

"That's right, increase the force!"

Gu Zuo's brows were beaded with sweat, and Princess Yaomin was also drenched.

In order to save this Kang Wenhong, the two had to work even faster than the poison. It was truly exhausting.

Time pa.s.sed. After the poison was gradually forced out, Kang Wenhong slowly regained consciousness — Just then, his awareness was fuzzy and his mind wanted to fade away. At this moment, he finally became clear-headed.

When he opened his eyes, the one he saw had a face that was as splendid as the clouds at sunrise. That earnest and careful appearance of hers moved his heart most of all. He reacted right away. This woman was saving him!

"Many thanks…young lady…"

Gu Zuo: "…"

That Kang Wenhong simply didn't notice such a big person as him.

Sure enough, a little sister really had more attractiveness.

At first, Princess Yaomin was very busy. The moment she heard this sentence, she couldn't help raising her head and meeting that man's face which was still suffused with a deep black.

In the blink of an eye, her fair skin was filled with a scarlet blush.

In the end, however, she was a nation's princess. She quickly calmed down and smiled sweetly: "No need to thank me. It's Pharmacist Gu who saved you. I'm only acting to support him."

That Kang Wenhong heard this and stared blankly. He discovered that there was another person on the other side who was pressing on his wounds to remove the poison. Eh, he was a sixteen or seventeen year old youth? He was a little embarra.s.sed that there was another benefactor whom he completely failed to notice before…

Kang Wenhong hurried to remedy this: "Pharmacist Gu, thank you so much."

Gu Zuo saw that Kang Wenhong's mind was becoming more and more clear. Hearing this big brother's regret, he shook his head: "Don't mention it. It's the young master who had me save you."

Kang Wenhong was stunned again.

After the muddled reaction from just waking up, the memories from before he fainted all appeared in his mind. Once again, he took another look at the dozens who surrounded and protected him, and his gaze fell upon Cang Yu and Gongyi Tianheng.

He gradually remembered many matters.

At first, it was to challenge himself between life and death. He'd also made preparations, but who could've thought that he'd encounter that despicable peon You Jiong? He almost lost his life before he was saved.

It was precisely these newly promoted disciples. His junior sect brothers.

Kang Wenhong was very grateful, and thanked everyone once more: "This Brother Kang Wenhong still has several ways into the outer sect. If my junior sect brothers have any instructions, just go to the Lofty Sword Courtyard to find me. If I can do it, I certainly won't decline." He paused, and said, "In the inner sect… I also have one or two connections."

The spoken words were ambiguous, but Cang Yu and the others all came from aristocratic and royal households. How could they not hear the unspoken implications? Naturally, they were all very happy.

Although they faced danger, the person who was saved had come back. There were no problems.

Kang Wenhong didn't mention how he'd deal with You Jiong, but from his bearing, it was certain that he wouldn't let You Jiong have an easy time. Moreover, with Kang Wenhong's previous speech, if You Jiong really tried to deal with them, they could just go to the Lofty Sword Courtyard and seek Kang Wenhong.

A period of time pa.s.sed. Gu Zuo and Princess Yaomin had already cleared up most of Kang Wenhong's poison. As for any more, they were powerless.

Because, although they could use the Snowy Ginseng Pill to replenish his blood and remove the poison, he had too many wounds. Two people only had four hands. How could they squeeze that many places? But so long as they neglected one spot, the incomplete poison in that spot would spread throughout the body. It would instead cause even more trouble.

Kang Wenhong didn't take offense as he was aware of his own matters. In any case, his life had been returned now, and the others could take their time. Afterwards, he extracted another Poison Dispelling Pill and took it. His complexion suddenly became a little better.

Upon seeing this, Gu Zuo was really curious: "What… Senior sect brother Kang, what is this Poison Dispelling Pill of yours? It seems like the ones we prepared in the outer sect, but it's very different…"

Kang Wenhong understood in a flash and explained to him: "Junior sect brother Gu is talking about this Poison Purification Pill? This is a medicinal pill specific to the inner sect. It can purify a hundred poisons, and no matter how formidable the toxin, it's capable of suppressing it for a time to seek a pharmacist to refine an antidote. After I take it, I'll go back to think of a way to do just that."

Gu Zuo nodded to express his understanding.

However, in his mind, he was thinking about the Poison Purification Pill. This kind of medicinal pill… En, he remembered.

There was one such medicinal pill among the many prescriptions he memorized, which was just like what Kang Wenhong mentioned. It could remove very many poisons and had the effects of alleviating toxins. Refining it also wasn't considered difficult. So long as one had sufficient golden banknotes, the required medicinal herbs could be bought.

In addition, the better the grade of the Poison Purification Pill, the longer the time it could suppress toxins. From a furtive glance, the Poison Purification Pill that Kang Wenhong just took was mid grade. The Earth Ghost's poison was never before seen and very strange. At most, it could be suppressed for about a day.

Kang Wenhong was obviously aware of this point. After Gu Zuo and Princess Yaomin were unable to continue removing any more poison, he cupped his hands to these life-saving junior sect brothers and bid them farewell. Right now, he was still very weak, but going on foot wasn't a problem.

"Honorable junior sect brothers, I can't thank you all enough for your kindness. I'll leave this place first to get this poison resolved."

Cang Yu hesitated.

He looked at Gongyi Tianheng and said: "Brother Tianheng, it seems that we'll be a burden to you going higher up. Now that we've met senior sect brother Kang, I won't feel at ease letting a single person like him go back…"

Tianheng heard his meaning and understood his kind offer. He gently nodded his head: "Brother Cang Yu doesn't need to be concerned over this. I still want to go even higher to gain experience. Since you all intend on a.s.sisting senior sect brother Kang, then I pray that you all have a pleasant journey."

Cang Yu gave a smile. The two had a tacit mutual understanding.

A senior sect brother who was worried over was one whose friendship could be strengthened.

Tianheng didn't mind at all because he already had social connections to the inner sect. He could learn of many things. However, it was rare for Cang Yu to encounter this kind of chance. If he didn't grasp it carefully, then wouldn't he be too clumsy? They had already collected some Ghost Nuclei, and going any higher really was burdening Tianheng. It would be better take advantage of the situation to go and give a favorable impression to Kang Wenhong.

Off to the side, Kang Wenhong also noticed a few things, but he felt it was normal. It was an undeniable fact that they saved his life. Moreover, he didn't know why but his heart became happier as he looked at Princess Yaomin.

Hence, the duo Gu Zuo and Gongyi Tianheng parted ways with Cang Yu and the others.

As for Dragon One and Dragon Two, because their strength was insufficient, they were arranged to leave in advance.

A crowd of people agreed to meet up and share drinks later. Immediately following that, they swiftly went down two divergent paths.

After watching the group from behind, Gongyi Tianheng carried Gu Zuo on his back once more.

Gu Zuo rested against Tianheng's back and his heart's suspicions could finally be asked: "Big brother, was treating that You Jiong just now putting a tiger back onto its mountain…"

Tianheng heard Gu Zuo's questioning, and faintly laughed: "If there weren't any other people around and it was outside of the sect, we'd naturally want to kill him."

Gu Zuo stared blankly.

In that case, they couldn't act because there were bystanders and that this was the sect's West Mountain? Was this what his big brother meant?

Gongyi Tianheng seemed to see through his way of thinking, and nodded: "It's precisely so. The sect has established standards. Even if Cang Yu and the others stood with us on one side, many people wouldn't have a unified voice. The possibility of leaked information is also higher. Besides, this world isn't without those who bite the hand that feeds them. It's true that we saved Kang Wenhong, but if we killed You Jiong for him, there would be many matters afterwards that would change."

Gu Zuo listened and seemed to understand a bit: "In other words, while You Jiong and Kang Wenhong were originally enemies, if we killed You Jiong, then he would become our enemy? But why would he become our enemy if You Jiong dies…"

Speaking up to here, he abruptly reacted.

Tianheng smiled and said: "Kang Wenhong has a supporter. Since You Jiong dared to kill Kang Wenhong, how couldn't he have his own supporter? Now as You Jiong wasn't killed, we only ruined his private schemes at most. But if we killed You Jiong, we would've started a feud with his supporter. Regardless if someone carelessly leaked the secret or if Kang Wenhong was unable to carry our burden and instead threw us away, we would still have to face You Jiong's supporter.

He continued: "However, You Jiong didn't die and Kang Wenhong is also alive. Everything is different. Kang Wenhong is You Jiong's nemesis and will struggle against him endlessly. Kang Wenhong's supporter can naturally handle You Jiong's supporter. As for us, we are merely p.a.w.ns who saved Kang Wenhong's life. Kang Wenhong would only be grateful and wouldn't randomly have any thoughts about making us scapegoats."

Moreover, if You Jiong died, his supporter would certainly find out. Once aware, no matter the true value the other placed on You Jiong, they would need to adopt a certain approach to this and investigate You Jiong's matters.

And so long as it was investigated, who could guarantee that everything wasn't found out? Especially under the circ.u.mstances that Kang Wenhong had been bearing the grudge of You Jiong for a long time?

At this time, Gu Zuo understood completely: "So to say, even with the trouble of You Jiong finding us, we only need to face You Jiong and we can still ask Kang Wenhong for help? But if You Jiong dies, we might face the retaliation of You Jiong's supporter. You Jiong's supporter must certainly be much more powerful than You Jiong, right?"

Tianheng smiled and praised: "Ah Zuo's words are correct. Although You Jiong is an outer sect disciple, he hasn't advanced to Xiantian. In my opinion, he's nothing to be concerned about. He seems to only be keeping it to a smaller scale, so it's fine. However, if he handles things excessively, he's just looking for a reason to be drawn out of the sect. Naturally, I can kill him with a snap of my fingers."

Gu Zuo became a little excited: "Still, big brother's thinking is thorough! How did you see all this? That killing You Jiong now isn't too worthwhile, and that although Kang Wenhong looks good and You Jiong looks bad, in actuality, both sides are strangers. The one who was saved would go kill the other. That would be twice the trouble…"

Gongyi Tianheng had a smile on his face as he listened to Gu Zuo's chatter.

Meanwhile, his footsteps never stopped. They quickly found a small trail. Following this trail would let them climb to higher places on West Mountain.

Cang Yu and the others' journey was even better. Because, with their strength, they could only stop halfway up the mountain at most.

The qi energy higher up was even more mysterious, but on the contrary, Tianheng dared to rush in. Even Gu Zuo had his special skills. If Cang Yu followed them, the strength of the two would instead drop.

But now, they didn't need to hide what they did anymore.

So long as they didn't meet any onlookers, they could use their methods…as much as they liked.
