Chapter 391: Chapter 388: Tier Nine Healing Medicine

After hearing Elder Yun’s explanation, Bai Yin and Xie Xiaoyu could only give wry, helpless smiles.

Just as Elder Yun had said, the Five Provinces Academy’s Alchemy Department had few students to begin with. Although a number of students from mysterious backgrounds had arrived recently, they hadn’t been admitted for various reasons.

And now, with their only Ninth-level Alchemist, Sun Yaowen, captured, the entire academy couldn’t produce a second Advanced Alchemist.

As for the instructors in the Alchemy Department, most were only Seventh-level Alchemists—and padded ones at that. It was doubtful they could even concoct a Tier Seven Healing Potion, let alone a Tier Eight Healing Medicine.

"What do we do now?" Bai Yin sighed. "If the Root Cutting Sect attacks again, you’ll definitely be in trouble in your condition, Master."

"There’s nothing to be done. That’s just how the world is. We have to face what’s coming," Elder Yun said with a long sigh. She then drew a wisp of dark green energy from between her brows and shot it directly into Bai Yin’s sea of consciousness. "I’m giving you half of the Bone-Eroding Wind Spirit’s origin. If I should fall, the Wind Spirit will form a contract with you. It will regress to its initial stage, but that’s far better than perishing along with me."

"Master, you can’t..." Bai Yin said, her expression shocked and her eyes blurring with tears.

Elder Yun smiled serenely, her gaze toward Bai Yin full of affection. "Don’t be afraid, Xiaoyin. At my age, I didn’t have much time left to begin with. This is just speeding things up by a few years."

"No, you’ll be okay!" Bai Yin threw herself into Elder Yun’s arms and broke down into uncontrollable sobs.

Beside them, Xie Xiaoyu’s eyes also filled with tears. "Waaah, Xiaoyu doesn’t want you to go~!"

"You two girls." Elder Yun’s eyes reddened, and she couldn’t help but pull them both into an embrace, her heart filled with an unwillingness to let go.

Just then, Xie Xiaoyu suddenly stopped crying. She squirmed out of Elder Yun’s embrace and, under the astonished gazes of Bai Yin and Elder Yun, took a bottle of pills from her Spatial Ring. "Oh, right, Master," she asked between sobs, "do you think these will work? They’re really effective."

That’s right—it was the bottle of Healing Medicine Feng Hao had given her.

Elder Yun paused for a moment, then took the bottle with a faint smile. Although she didn’t have high hopes, it was a kind gesture from the girl.

But the moment she opened the bottle, she was completely stunned. The pills inside were Tier Nine Healing Medicine!

GASP! Elder Yun snapped out of her stupor and asked urgently, "Girl, where did you get such precious medicine?"

"Is it very precious?" Xie Xiaoyu asked, blinking.

"Precious doesn’t even begin to cover it. It’s incredibly valuable," Elder Yun said, her expression full of excitement. "Quick, tell me, where did this medicine come from?"

"Feng Hao gave it to me after I fought with Yao Girl last time," Xie Xiaoyu said truthfully, pouting a little.

After learning how precious the Healing Medicine was, a strange feeling blossomed in Xie Xiaoyu’s heart. She giggled foolishly to herself, lost in her own thoughts.

If Feng Hao knew what she was thinking, he wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The only reason he’d given her the Healing Medicine was out of pity. After all, the two girls often fought, and it was only a matter of time before one of them ended up bruised and swollen. He gave her the medicine simply to help her recover faster; there was no other meaning behind it.

Besides, Tier Nine Healing Medicine wasn’t particularly precious to Feng Hao. He would occasionally feed a few pills to Xiaohai as a "calcium supplement" or something.

In anyone else’s eyes, however, Tier Nine Healing Medicine was an incredibly precious resource. It was rarely sold on the market, and on the off chance it appeared, High-level Mages would fight over it, throwing vast sums of money to acquire it.

After all, as Mages grew in level, their bodies evolved and became stronger. At the same time, they also became more ’precious’; if they were injured, ordinary Healing Medicine had little to no effect.

It was like the difference between an economy car and a Lamborghini. How much does it cost to fix a scratch on an economy car? And how much to fix a scratch on a Lamborghini?

In short, upon learning that the Tier Nine Healing Medicine had come from Feng Hao, both Elder Yun and Bai Yin were stunned.

"Feng Hao? The same boy who bullied Xiaoyin?" Elder Yun asked, her expression strange.

Hearing this, Xie Xiaoyu was stunned as well. "What? Feng Hao bullied Senior Sister? How come I didn’t know about that?"

And just like that, it was Bai Yin’s turn to be embarrassed.

Her cheeks flushed scarlet, and she bashfully lowered her head, falling silent...

Meanwhile, in the area where the Strength Department students were gathered, Xiyue Frost and Yue Linglong were desperately trying to reason with Xi Yueyao.

It couldn’t be helped. After Xue Qingshan and his daughter had retreated to the academy, they brought news that Feng Hao was being hunted by a seventh-tier expert. Upon hearing this, Yao Girl had practically lost her mind, insisting on taking Zhang Meng, his two companions, and a group of underlings to go find Feng Hao, much to everyone’s exasperation.

"Let me go, Sister! I have to find Feng Hao!" Yao Girl thrashed wildly in Xiyue Frost’s arms, her small eyes red and brimming with tears.

"Yaoyao!" Xiyue Frost shouted in exasperation. "Feng Hao’s Spiritual Mark hasn’t vanished, which means he isn’t in mortal danger! If you rush out like this, you’ll only cause more trouble for him!"

"But I just feel so panicked! No, I have to go find him." With that, Xi Yueyao began to struggle again, trying to break free from Xiyue Frost’s hold.

"..." Xiyue Frost didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Just then, Zhang Meng and his two companions approached. "The young miss is right," one said. "Big Sis, you really shouldn’t go out. Let us go check things out first. As soon as we find the Boss, we’ll have Lao Li use [Li Ying] to notify everyone."

"No way! You three are useless. This young miss has to go herself!" Xi Yueyao shouted.

Zhang Meng and his companions were exasperated. "What are you talking about? We’re the inheritors of the Thief God Hall now! Our combat power is top-notch!"

Seeing how worried Xi Yueyao was, Xue Qingshan and his daughter felt a pang of guilt. He stepped forward and said, "How about this: I’ll take the men from the Treasure Pavilion and go with them. After all, little brother Feng Hao is only being hunted by an expert because he was helping us."

Only then did Xi Yueyao quiet down. She gritted her teeth and snorted, "I guess you have a conscience after all. Otherwise, I’d have my great-aunt flay you alive! You damn woman," she snapped, presumably at Xue Xiaoyun, "what are you glaring at me for? Hurry up and go save my medicine seller!"

"You...!" Xue Xiaoyun trembled with rage. She truly couldn’t understand why Feng Hao would choose a girlfriend like this.

Xue Qingshan hurried forward to placate her. "Xiaoyun, stop it. Saving him is what’s important!"

"But this girl is just so arrogant!" Xue Xiaoyun said, her cheeks puffed out in anger.

"Oh, come on. Why are you getting so worked up over a little girl?" Xue Qingshan said irritably.

Of course, Xue Qingshan didn’t know about Xi Yueyao’s connection to the Holy Hall. He only knew that Feng Hao was connected to some important figure there. If he had known that Xi Yueyao’s own aunt was a special envoy from the Holy Hall, he probably would have made Xue Xiaoyun apologize on the spot.

There was no helping it. Sometimes, power and status were just that damn powerful...
