《The Healer Demands Payment!》Chapter 30.2 - Immortal Devouring Vine
Advertisement
Meng Qi turned to look at the sect leader. The reason why she knew so clearly about the immortal devouring vine because it was the favorite weapon used by the Demon Realm’s red fox clan. Su Junmo, a white fox, was injured by this weapon. Of course, the immortal devouring vine that could hurt Su Junmo was much stronger—it has grown for nearly 700 years. After getting injured, Su Junmo was unable to expel the pollen that invaded his body. This thing was like fungus spore. Once entered the body, they would instantly spread into limbs and viscera.
When Meng Qi met Su Junmo, he had become very weak. But no matter how weak he was, Su·chatterbox·fox never knew how to shut his mouth. Bla bla bla bla, bla bla bla bla, and bla. All the ins and outs of the immortal devouring vine, the grudges between the red and white fox, and even the vine’s refining method were all spilled by him. Not only that, Meng Qi even knew the latest gossips of red and white fox clan, from the patriarch’s lover to their most beautiful young lady.
She had never met something like the immortal devouring vine at that time and also never seen such an injury as Su Junmo’s. This, particularly, burned the spirit inside Meng Qi. Full of enthusiasm, she bravely endured the fox’s torturous chatter and pulled him back from the death’s door. Looking back now, she didn’t even want to recall the hardship she faced at that time.
Precisely because of this, as soon as she entered the tent, when Meng Qi smelled the weird floral fragrance similar to the forest’s light fragrance, she immediately remembered the immortal devouring vine. In her previous life, Meng Qi spent three months smelling this fragrance, and she couldn’t make a mistake.
“Fellow Daoist Meng.” A disciple of Fentian Palace who was also injured by the immortal devouring vine asked quietly: “Please tell us, is there any method?” He remained calm and didn’t fell into hysteria. After all, this disciple was from Fentian Palace and had seen many wind and waves. He had his own disposition as a disciple of a great sect, and much calmer than Qingfeng Valley’s disciples. “Although we are prone to thirst and hunger now, our usage of spiritual aura still hasn’t affected. If fellow Daoist have instructions, please tell us.”
“I need these medicinal ingredients.” Meng Qi took out a bamboo slip and quickly wrote on it. “You can buy these at the Cloud Immortal Pavilion. Please help me find them. In addition, I also need the blood of the five elements blue crane.”
“Yes.” Fentian Palace disciple answered respectfully. He took the bamboo slip and handed it to Elder Xun Yan.
Xun Yan held the bamboo slip and nodded: “These ingredients are fine. But the blood of the five elements blue crane…” He paused and asked, “We can only hunt it.”
Five elements blue crane was a monster bird that could be found in the Eastern Realm. It wasn’t hard to find. Like the mountain forest where they are now, it is possible to find these five elements blue cranes there. Xun Yan didn’t ask Meng Qi what she was going to do with these ingredients, nor did he asked the sect leader of Qingfeng Valley for help. He directly handed the bamboo slip to his disciples and ordered them to buy the herbs.

“Which one of you can do Suixin spell?” Meng Qi suddenly asked.
The disciples of Fentian Palace did not respond, it was several of Qingfeng Valley’s injured disciples who raised their hands: “Me.”
“I can.”
“I also can.”
Even Lu Qingran raised her voice weakly: “I can.”
Suixin spell was one of the basic spell learned by medical cultivators, and most of Qingfeng Valley disciples could do it. The spell could be regarded as one of the few purely offensive spells learned by medical cultivators. It directly aimed at the enemy’s heart and was quite powerful. However, the requirements for practicing this spell was very high and basically would consume more than half of spiritual aura for one usage. Medical cultivators learned the spell to protect themselves but rarely used it.
“Third realm or above.” Meng Qi said indifferently.
Qingfeng Valley disciples shook their heads.
Lu Qingran blushed: She knew it! So why did she say she could?!
Before, when Meng Qi asked her about the Jingxin spell, the other party didn’t put the first realm spell into her eyes. Now, she also should have guessed that Meng Qi was going to ask for a high-level Suixin spell.
Even the sect leader shook her head. Although she also learned it, her Suixin spell was stagnated at the peak of the first realm and has not broken through the second realm.
Meng Qi shook her head: “Then I can only go by myself.”
“Junior Sister, may I ask what the Suixin spell is for?” Lu Qingran asked in a low voice.
“I need the blood of the five elements blue crane killed by the Suixin spell.” Meng Qi answered. But the problem now was that she needed a third rank five elements blue crane. As a Qi Condensation cultivator, she could practice her Suixin spell into the third realm, but it couldn’t kill the five elements blue crane.
Chu Tianfeng saw the hesitation on her face and guessed her dilemma. He quickly said: “I have the way.”
“Oh?” Meng Qi looked at him suspiciously.
“I have a way to temporarily increase your cultivation level, so you can temporarily use the Golden Core cultivator’s strength to use the spell. Although you can only use the strengthened spell once at a time, if we try a few times, we will eventually succeed.” Chu Tianfeng looked at Meng Qi fawningly. When he said ‘we,’ his tone even became a little excited.
Xun Yan shook his head, slightly amused. He knew what method Chu Tianfeng was talking about, but this was the secret technique of Fentian Palace. Except for the young palace master, only disciples who made significant achievements would have the opportunity to learn it. Now he was actually going to use it to please a Qi Condensation cultivator. If the old palace master heard about it, he would probably get angered to half-dead.
But…
Xun Yan’s gaze swept across Meng Qi’s calm face. If Meng Qi, it was not impossible. If Fentian Palace has such a head madam in the future, perhaps she would be able to make up for the slightly impetuous young palace master’s temperament, which was also a good thing.
“But…” Meng Qi still wanted to speak.
Chu Tianfeng quickly interrupted: “It’s nothing. Our Fentian Palace’s disciples are also injured. I should do something for them.”
“Alright.” Meng Qi nodded. Her temperament was originally straightforward, and she quickly stopped struggling with this issue.

“Then, let’s move separately. Young Master Chu and I are going to hunt the five elements blue crane. For the rest of the ingredients, I will ask Elder Xun and the sect leader to prepare. Then…” Meng Qi suddenly remembered. She glanced over the injured male disciples one by one.
These people…
Meng Qi actually didn’t know if they and Lu Qingran would have any intersection in the future.
Whatever! Safety first.
“To do treatment, I will charge payment.” Meng Qi said unhurriedly: “Each male cultivator…” She quickly calculated the number of spirit stones she should take. Although this vine was troublesome, that was because she still didn’t know what to do when she picked Su Junmo. Now that she knew the correct method, the treatment process was actually not as cumbersome as Chu Tianfeng’s poison. Moreover, ordinary disciples didn’t have many spirit stones, and they also didn’t seem to will be very familiar with Lu Qingran.
Meng Qi thought for a while, and said, “Three hundred fourth-grade spirit stones per person.”
Chu Tianfeng has been staring at Meng Qi nervously. When he heard the fourth-grade spirit stones, he sighed in relief. He no longer cared about the ‘several hundred.’ If even a few ordinary disciples were more expensive than him, this young palace master, he really has to…jump into the cold pond and shut himself down!
“I’ll pay for them.” Chu Tianfeng said happily: “I’ll pay for the disciples of Fentian Palace.”
Meng Qi glanced at him and nodded, “Let’s go.” She walked outside the tent, hurriedly followed by Chu Tianfeng.
Qin Xiumo didn’t rush. He put away his natal sword and walked out leisurely. When passing by the sect leader of Qingfeng Valley, the corners of his lips raised lightly. “No need to worry. Towards Qingfeng Valley, she…” Qin Xiumo glanced at sect leader with some contempt, and said in a lazy tone: “…has no interest and no intention. Rest assured, a swan never put small sparrows into her eyes.”
Qin Xiumo’s voice wasn’t small. People inside the tent could hear it clearly. Lu Qingran had seen Qin Xiumo and knew that Meng Qi had rescued him. She just moved her lips and wanted to speak, but Qin Xiumo had strode out and chased after Meng Qi.
The tent was quiet, and even Xun Yan didn’t want to say anything. He led the disciples of Fentian Palace and leave, he was going to personally take care of the ingredients Meng Qi asked. Only a few people from Qingfeng Valley were left in the tent.
Lan Zhuxuan’s face was pale. She walked towards the sect leader in a panic, and repeatedly asked: “Sect leader, why does Meng Qi only ask for payment from the males? Is she…is she going to not save us?!”
“Junior Sister Meng Qi really doesn’t plan to save us?” The other two female disciples panicked: “Is it because we live with Senior Sister Lan? Junior Sister Meng Qi hates Senior Sister Lan for spreading bad words behind her back and also got angry at us?”
“It’s all your fault!” Their lives were at stake, and the two female disciples looked at Lan Zhuxuan angrily. “Junior Sister Meng Qi is very talented, and you feel inferior. If you are simply feeling jealous, it’s okay, why you should go spreading bad rumors about her everywhere, saying that she was shamelessly seducing Fentian Palace’s young master! Don’t you have eyes? It is clear that Young Master Chu is the one who runs after Junior Sister Meng!”
“Yes! It doesn’t matter if you die, why do you still involve us?!”
“Woooo…Sect leader, Junior Sister Meng won’t really abandon us, right?”
The tent suddenly became noisy, and the sect leader’s expression became more and more ugly. “Stop arguing!” She hardened her face and clenched her fists. Qin Xiumo’s parting words were still ringing in her eyes. She looked at these disciples, who became panicked the moment something happened. Thinking about it again, Meng Qi always seemed to be calm and collected.
The sect leader closed her eyes in disappointment. Before she could speak again, Yan Mingfeng’s voice suddenly came from behind: “Meng Qi will not abandon you.” He stood outside the tent, slowly glancing at the disciples: “She will save you, rest assured.”

Outside the camp, mountains and forests were stretched out farther and farther away, and Qin Xiumo had finally caught up with Meng Qi. He looked at the girl’s perpetually calm demeanor with some interest and asked: “You only asked spirit stones from the male disciples. Are you going to not treating those female disciples?”
Meng Qi glanced at him inexplicably, “Why not?”
“Huh?” Qin Xiumo was stunned: “One of those female disciples clearly hates you. She is quite annoying, do you also want to save her?”
“If can be saved, of course I will also save her. What are you telling me to do?!” Meng Qi became even more inexplicable. Should she say ‘as expected of a future Little Devil Lord’?! He was clearly suggesting her to let Lan Zhuxuan died.
But…
“Alright. Let’s take spirit stones from Senior Sister Lan, too.” She said, “She really is a bit noisy. Let her pay some money.”
Qin Xiumo almost getting choked. Looking at him so deflated, Chu Tianfeng burst into a laugh.
Meng Qi ignored them and continued to walk forward.
In the beast house inside her storage bracelet, Xiao Qi had already woke up. He opened a pair of bright blue eyes and was lying quietly on the small bed in the beast house. He has heard everything that happened just now.
The girl even knew about the immortal devouring vine. Not only that, but she also knew how to cure the vine’s effect. Xiao Qi’s eyes narrowed slightly. From the arrays on the medical knife, the simplified version of the Lihuo fire control array, the arrays she used to refine medicine, and then immortal devouring vine…he became more and more curious about who Meng Qi really was.
The little white tiger’s eyes flickered, and his paw glowed lightly.
***
At the same time, Beyond The Heaven, the highest floating island.
Su Junmo was walking around anxiously in a garden, mumbling incoherently. He strode faster and faster. Suddenly a white light flashed, and a white-robed man appeared as if he had fallen from the sky.
“Lord.” Su Junmo quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
“Go to the Eastern Realm.” The white-robed man quietly ordered, “The largest gap in the boundary is in the Eastern Realm, and the red fox clan has even brought the immortal devouring vine to the Three Thousand Worlds.”
A chill flashed in his eyes: “Kill them!”

Right Hand of God
Ghosts, demons, and all things that go bump in the night crawl the Earth.
