The Ancient Realm Goddess
Suspicious
Wang Xun could not remember how long he had been unconscious. Last time, he was hunting for Spiritual Medicine in the inner circle. Suddenly he heard a shriek from behind him.
Since he was the head of the Qilin Alliance, he had to pay attention to the safety of its members. So the moment he heard the screeching sound, his body reflexively moved straight towards that sound.
As he entered the source of the voice, he found the female disciple who was trembling in fear. His face paled while closing both of his eyes. His hand pointed at the black thing that was on the ground.
Wang Xun saw a black-colored snake coiling near the feet of the female disciple. Out of worry, he did not pay attention to what kind of snake it was. He directly picked up the black snake with his bare hands.
After paying close attention, both of his pupils instantly shrank. He realized that the snake in his hand was a deadly scorpion.
He quickly channeled spiritual qi into his hands to crush the scorpion snake. But it's too late. The tail of the scorpion snake had already moved first to pierce his hand.
The stinging pain immediately paralyzed his organs. His body just collapsed onto the ground. His eyes darkened little by little. After that, he did not remember what happened next.
He is now back awake. He had never imagined being able to come back alive after being exposed to the scorpion snake venom. His heart felt very grateful when it found out he was still safe.
"You're finally gonna wake up." Qing Yue'er said calmly. He was of course very happy when his gamble won. Yet he still had to control his image in front of others.
"Who are you?"
Wang Xun looked at Qing Yue'er in surprise. The boy sat down while propping his head on the table languidly. Both of his eyes looked red, it seemed like the person was sleepy?
He slightly scrunched his forehead. In his memory, he had never known this boy. Why was he suddenly in his room?
Yet before he got an answer from the other party, he felt something that shocked his heart. Without caring for the boy, he immediately closed his eyes and tickled his dantian state.
Wang Xun sensed his dantian had an abundant amount of spiritual qi. Without delaying any longer, he directly entered the cultivation session.
Qing Yue'er sighed. To ensure safety, he had to check on Wang Xun's condition. But it seemed like he would have to wait again until the man finished his cultivation.
Wang Lin and the others were still waiting outside uneasily. It had been nearly four hours since Qing Yue'er had handled Wang Xun. It should only take an hour or two. But why is he still not out yet?
"Why is that kid so long?" Wang Lin frowned. He became more and more impatient, even bad thoughts started to cross his mind.
Elder Ouyang even had a terrifying face. He kicked his feet hard. "I don't want to wait anymore, that kid must be in trouble." He forced his way into Wang Xun's room.
"Wait first. Is it okay to bother Qing Yu?"
Wang Lin felt unsure. Although he doubted Qing Yu, but he did not want to interfere with her examination. He was afraid that it would result in a fatal failure.
Elder Ouyang snorted. "Do you still hope for his ability? Wang Lin, don't be so naive. A brat like him, how could he possibly be such a great doctor?"
Without waiting any longer, he kicked his foot violently towards the door. He would see how the brat would give him an answer.
Right now Wang Xun was paying his respects to his helper. This boy in front of him even though he was a child turned out to have a heaven-defying ability.
Just a moment ago, he had managed to achieve a breakthrough to the early stages of the celestial realm. During these 3 years, he had experienced a bottleneck at the peak of the earth realm.
One must know, breaking through the celestial realm requires abundant spiritual qi. So he felt that this time his breakthrough was truly magical.
*braakkk
Suddenly the door opened violently. Elder Ouyang narrowed his eyes to look at the state of affairs present within the room. But at that moment also his mouth was wide open looking at the scene that was happening.
He looked at Wang Xun who was bowing before Qing Yu. His face was so appreciative of the brat.
"This ...."
He doesn't know what to say. How could Wang Xun possibly become fresh in shape like that? Even he did not look like he had faced dying at all.
"Chairman Ouyang, what happened?" Wang Lin asked from behind. He walked next to Elder Ouyang. As he looked at the circumstances inside the room, he had the same reaction as Elder Ouyang.
"Brother Xun, you ...." He doesn't know what to say. His current feelings were truly complex between being happy and surprised.
"Cannot be. That kid couldn't have cured you, right?" Elder Ouyang walked towards Wang Xun after recovering from his shock. His hand nimbly brought the man back to lie on the bed.
He would not believe that that brat could cure Wang Xun. There must be another reason why he's healed.
Carefully, Elder Ouyang examined Wang Xun's condition. After a while, he discovered the aura of something extremely extraordinary from Wang Xun's body. But he was unable to ascertain what aura it was.
He looked at Qing Yue'er suspiciously. What treasure did that child use to heal Wang Xun? It looks like it will be very valuable.
The Qing Yue'er who was stared at could only fall silent pretending not to know. In his heart, he felt a little anxious. The misty old man would not detect Yin Yang water right?
Elder Ouyang went back to inspect and found Wang Xun's aura that was becoming stronger than before. Then his gaze turned more complicated. "You've achieved a breakthrough?"
Wang Xun nodded. "That's right. Qing Yu said that the poison remnants of the scorpion snake had helped me achieve a breakthrough."
Elder Ouyang frowned. What kind of shit is that?! He doesn't believe that at all. How might dangerous poison help to increase one's cultivation.
What kind of method had Qing Yu used? How did the results become so amazing?
But there were other things as well that made him want to spit out blood. It was a matter of the gamble they made. Did he really have to sacrifice 500 spirit stones for the child?
"Qing Yu, what evil methods have you used?!" Elder Ouyang stared intently at Qing Yue'er. He would not let the child enjoy the pile of spirit stones.
"What methods can I use? Didn't you see the herbs I asked for?" Qing Yue'er was still putting on a calm look.
"You must be using a mysterious, cruel technique!" The two alchemists also co-directed their enmity towards Qing Yue'er.
Wang Xun did not understand the intent of Elder Ouyang. Did they suspect that Qing Yue'er was healing her by using demonic techniques? But he clearly didn't smell anything abnormal.
Qing Yue'er looked at Elder Ouyang with a disdainful look. "What are you guys talking about? Aren't you just not wanting to fulfill the bet?"
Elder Ouyang narrowed his eyes. He was very unhappy with Qing Yue'er's tone. "Do you think we're so poor that we can't give you 500 spirit stones?"
Qing Yue'er raised her eyebrows. "If it's not then what do you want?"
