《The Healer Demands Payment!》Chapter 36 (Part2) - Accusations
Advertisement
“Everyone get back! Don’t touch the five elements blue crane!” Lan Zhuxuan turned and ran towards the people who were extracting blood from the carcass. “Meng Qi can’t cure us, she is lying!” She screamed and pulled all the injured disciples back. “She lied to us!”
Lan Zhuxuan’s voice was triumphant and without a trace of fear. If Meng Qi really lied, what would happen to their injuries?! Relying on sect leader? Or….
After yelling, Lan Zhuxuan suddenly fell silent. She turned her head with a pale face. Meng Qi was standing in place. Her expression was cold, without joy nor anger.
The disciples who were shouted by Lan Zhuxuan watched this scene in a daze.
The wind blew over the forest, rustling the leaves.
The entire camp suddenly became still, and no one spoke.
If Meng Qi lied, then she was unable to cure them. And it was even more likely for the sect leader and the others who never heard about immortal devouring vine to know the cure.
But they already injured, what should they do?
Everyone was looking at Meng Qi and Lan Zhuxuan. No one uttered a word, because they didn’t know what to say.
“Junior sister Meng.” Lu Qingran forced herself to smile, and asked in a soft voice: “So why did you lie to everyone before? What should our injured senior brothers and sisters do now? It has been ten days since they received the injury, it’s probably too late to find someone who can treat them now.”
Meng Qi frowned.
“Right, junior sister Meng.” A Qingfeng Valley disciple standing next to Lu Qingran also opened his mouth, “Why are you lying to us? We wasted ten days in vain, and it is too late now.”
“Right!” Qingfeng Valley disciples nodded one after another. They all heard with their own ears how Elder Xun Yan spoke for Meng Qi and ruthlessly scolded their sect leader and Lan Zhuxuan, so much that Qingfeng Valley disciples felt that they lost all their face. And now, seeing Meng Qi was driven into the corner, they actually gloated a little—after all, it wasn’t them who got injured.
“Yes, junior sister. If you honestly said that you don’t know, maybe we already found another healer who can cure them now. Why should you delay them?”
“Yeah, yeah…”
Meng Qi’s expression was still calm and unperturbed. She seemingly didn’t hear the ridicule and accusation of her fellow disciples and spoke with an indifferent tone: “About the treatment for the immortal devouring vine, although the books don’t give detailed record, however…”
“Enough!” Lan Zhuxuan interrupted her sharply. “Junior sister Meng Qi, when will you stop trying to deceive us?! Right, I shouldn’t speak ill of you behind your back. But even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t implicate so many…” Lan Zhuxuan pointed her finger and snapped: “…implicate so many fellow disciples to die. Is it fun? I just said a few bad things about you, but you want my life! You are too…too vicious!”
Meng Qi frowned. She looked over Lan Zhuxuan to the other injured disciples of Qingfeng Valley: “I can cure the injury caused by immortal devouring vine. Are you willing to believe me?”

Those injured disciples avoided Meng Qi’s gaze. They did not dare to confront her, but their look clearly said that they did not believe her.
“Junior sister Meng Qi…” Another disciple suddenly asked, “Is this immortal devouring vine really so hard to deal?”
“How do I feel…something is wrong?” Su Junmo murmured. Why they suddenly started to blame Meng Qi?
“More than ‘wrong’!” Chu Tianfeng coldly snorted in a low voice, “This is what they are best at. Stupid and idiot! Brainless!”
“You…” Chu Tianfeng took a step forward and called the three Fentian Palace disciples who were also injured by the immortal devouring vine. “Come here.”
“Yes!” The three disciples walked towards Chu Tianfeng and respectfully saluted, “Young palace master.”
“I was injured and poisoned by a fifth-rank devil beast before, and it was fellow Daoist Meng Qi who saved me. I put my belief on her, and also believe she definitely can save you.” Chu Tianfeng looked at his fellow disciples, “Are you willing to believe in me?”
“We are willing to believe in young palace master.” The three disciples bowed together and said without hesitation: “We are also willing to believe in fellow Daoist Meng.”
“Good.” Chu Tianfeng nodded. With a wave of his hand, he firmly said to the disciples who had been ordered to take the five elements blue crane’s blood: “Continue to collect the blood.”
“Meng Qi.” After that, Chu Tianfeng turned to look at Meng Qi: “Our Fentian Palace disciple, I’m entrusting their life to you.”
“Young master Chu!” Lan Zhuxuan screamed: “Don’t believe her. Before, there have been rumors that Meng Qi colluded with the devil beasts. Otherwise, how could she cure your poison when she is still in the Qi Condensation stage….”
With a soft ‘pop,’ Lan Zhuxuan’s head was suddenly beaten to the side. She stood blankly for a long time in utter daze and confusion. It wasn’t until a fiery pain spread throughout her face that she suddenly raised her head and stared at Meng Qi in disbelief.
Qin Xiumo put his hands around his chest and stared at her lazily. His eyes were so dark and cold, like a deep cold pond. A long sword floated next to him, and it was exactly this sword’s indirect wind attack that hit Lan Zhuxuan mercilessly.
“You?!” Lan Zhuxuan glared at Qin Xiumo angrily but did not dare to step forward.
“Let me kindly remind you.” Qin Xiumo raised his lips coldly. His gaze swept over the Qingfeng Valley disciples before smiling sarcastically, “Even if you have fifteen days, just try and see if you can find someone who can cure the immortal devouring vine, or even recognize it.” He then took a step forward and hid Meng Qi behind his back: “But if anyone dares to insult Meng Qi, my sword’s sharp edge will be the one that hit you next time!”
“Let’s go.” Chu Tianfeng said to Meng Qi: “My Fentian Palace, all of us trust you.”
“Let’s go.” Chu Tianfeng said to Meng Qi: “My Fentian Palace, all of us trust you.”

His voice was not small, and everyone present could hear it clearly. With Chu Tianfeng’s support on the front and Qin Xiumo’s deterrent from behind, no one dared to say anything. Even Lan Zhuxuan only dared to move her lips slightly, but no voice came out under the threat of the menacing sword that was still floating next to Qin Xiumo.
Meng Qi no longer paid any attention to Qingfeng Valley’s people and walked towards the three injured disciples of Fentian Palace. Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo followed from behind, completely on guards. With their strength, no one in Qingfeng Valley was their opponent. Those disciples could only watch, and even the sect leader dared not to touch Meng Qi.
“Go to bed for now.” Before Meng Qi stepped into the tent, Chu Tianfeng lightly nudged her sleeve and pointed to another smaller, individual tent. “After several hours, I will call you.”
Meng Qi shook her head. She promptly walked into the tent where Fentian Palace’s injured disciples were recuperating. Inside, the smell of the blood taken from the five elements blue crane has permeated everywhere.
Meng Qi silently watched the three disciples soaking their bodies into the barrel full of blood. “Is Lan Zhuxuan not afraid of death?” She frowned and turned to look at Chu Tianfeng. This one indeed puzzled Meng Qi. Even if Lan Zhuxuan was stupid, for what sake did she jumped out and confronted her at this time?
Even if Lan Zhuxuan doubted her and thought that Meng Qi was lying, why didn’t she look worried? After all, if Meng Qi lied, she and other injured disciples’ life would be in danger.
Meng Qi couldn’t figure it out. She clearly was just going to explain her method for curing the immortal devouring vine’s injury. Yet Lan Zhuxuan did not listen and interrupted her so firmly.
This senior sister was definitely not a person who was not afraid of death. Then…
The bloody smell was getting stronger and stronger, and the three disciples who were soaking in it gritted their teeth, as if desperately resisting an immense pain.
Meng Qi hasn’t personally used this method on her body. But based on her understanding of the Su Fox, every time he was soaked in the blood of the five elements blue crane, it was the time when he talked the most. Therefore, it mustn’t be a pleasant experience.
“Those people apparently are receiving treatment for their injuries now.” Su Junmo suddenly got into the tent and said in a mysterious tone: “It seems that your senior sister Lu Qingran has found a way to treat them, and now is busy.”
“Mm.” Meng Qi replied casually. Senior Sister Lu Qingran’s medical talent was said to be above her. Since she could deduce the treatment method, Lu Qingran should also be able to.
“Just now, why did they treat you like that?” Su Junmo asked again: “Aren’t you and them disciples from the same sect? Why are they so hostile at you? That’s like treating an enemy, not a fellow disciple.”
“Nothing.” Meng Qi casually replied: “It doesn’t matter, anyway. Soon We won’t be a fellow disciple anymore.”
“Huh?” Chu Tianfeng’s eyes lit up, “Have you finally decided to go to my Fentian Palace?”
Meng Qi shook her head, “However, Elder Xun Yan is indeed correct. It doesn’t make sense for me to keep staying at such a sect.” She had stayed in Qingfeng Valley because of Elder Yan. Moreover, she was also still in the Qi Condensation stage. With such low cultivation, it would be hard for her to travel the Three Thousand World.
But now she was no longer so worried. Just now, the jade slip of Beyond The Heaven shook slightly, a reminder from the spiritual sense that Meng Qi had marked in. It meant that the items she ordered at Beyond The Heaven have arrived at the relay station. When she returned to Qingfeng Town, she could pick them up.
Meng Qi was extremely talented in medical cultivation, but her cultivation talent was… simply ordinary. In her previous life, when her medical cultivation was about to break through the fourth rank, her cultivation was still stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage. It was her master who later helped her find a method.
The spirit stones, used as the currency in Three Thousand Worlds, contained an abundance of spiritual aura. The rank of a spirit stone was decided based on its purity and amount of aura in it. The act of cultivating, in fact, was to incorporate the spiritual aura in the vicinity into one’s body and used them for their own use, storing the aura little by little. When the aura that could be contained in their body reached a sufficient amount, a cultivator would break through the current realm to enter the next realm or stage.
However, incorporating aura into a flesh-and-blood body wasn’t easy. Simply put, it was easier to cultivate in a place with thicker and stronger aura. The more, the better. However, such places were rare, and usually had been occupied by large sects.
Of course, the spiritual aura contained in the spirit stone also abundant. However, because the source of aura in the spirit stones and cultivators was different, it was impossible to absorb aura directly from spirit stones.
Meng Qi’s master thought that her cultivation speed was too slow, and later designed a new array for her. This array’s function was very simple, which was to transform the spiritual aura in spirit stones into a spiritual aura that could directly be used by a cultivator to cultivate.
With this array, Meng Qi’s cultivation finally gained enough momentum. Before her medical cultivation broke through the fourth rank, she successfully formed her core and entered the Golden Core stage.
However, the materials needed for this method were very expensive. After reborn, Meng Qi was a little hesitant to use it. Fortunately, the Beiming pill was priced much higher than her anticipation. So, Meng Qi directly ordered a batch of materials she needed to draw and activate the array. With it, she would be able to get twice the result with half the effort and became stronger as soon as possible.
Meng Qi originally planned to go to Fentian City before using this array. But now, she has changed her mind.
