Yan Zui was not unknown. In so monts, even Xu i had to look at his side.
It was he who ca up with a new perfect pill that helped break through to the Foundation Building level without serious health problems.
Although the pill was exclusively for low-level cultivation, who knows, maybe it could be created for higher levels based on it? Then this will beco a genius breakthrough in the entire cultivation world!
"Hm. What do you want?" Xu i replied rudely.
She didn't give a damn about this man. Although he was a genius in alchemy, Xu i was only interested in worthy swordsn. Besides, she saw no point in continuing this conversation.
"I have already released the sect heiress. Does the elder have any advice for ?" Xu i said indifferently, looking into Yan Zui's blue eyes.
"No, what advice can I have for you, young lady?" Yan Zui replied with a smile, but it was clear that he was uncomfortable with her words. Clearing his throat falsely, he asked: "We would like to know if you need help. Our sect master heard about your situation and would like to offer his help."
"Master Sect Wan Yue?" Xu i frowned.
Wan Yue - that was the na of the woman who ruled the Sect of Nine Pills. She was very strict. She was of the sa generation as the Sword Empress.
To get help from her in this situation would be very tily for Xu i. A few weeks ago, she was injured because two Divine Transformation cultivators hunted her, and thanks to luck, she was able to escape.
However, unfortunately, the wounds were too serious. She could only hide and try not to strain herself, so as not to allow internal wounds to flare up again.
"I doubt it's free. I'll listen to your conditions," Xu i replied indifferently, cracking her neck. She threw the sword over her shoulder and narrowly looked at Yan Zui: "Just don't waste my ti."
"Of course," Yan Zui nodded with a nervous smile and then looked back.
Xu i followed his gaze and saw that with a flash, a cultivator shrouded in dark clothes appeared, and next to her was... Liu Yan.
"Hm?"
The girl looked nervous, but Xu i just glanced at her and looked at Yan Zui.
"Your acquaintance with her was not the best... however, for her skills, I vouch," Yan Zui sincerely said, and then continued: "The only condition is to beco her guardian for two years and accompany her on her travels."
"Hehe..."
Xu i smiled widely, which looked beautiful, but Yan Zui and the others were covered in goosebumps.
And only then, when Xu i relaxed her face, everyone was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Not interested. Accompanying so sleepyhead for two years is the worst punishnt that the Heavens could give," Xu i waved her hand dismissively and walked away, indifferently waving her hand: "I'm not interested. Find another idiot."
"But I'm 90 years older than you..." Liu Yan wanted to complain, but just smiled gently, closing her eyes.
Seeing this expression on her face, Xu i's eyes twitched.
"One million spiritual stones!"
"Hm?"
Xu i turned in surprise to Yan Zui, who looked as if his heart had been shot. However, he resolutely looked at Xu i, naming this huge amount.
Seeing that her attention had been successfully attracted, the man sighed in relief.
"One million spiritual stones a year. How do you like this offer?" Yan Zui said.
The amount was large, but given that the sect was now going through an important ti of developnt, such expenses were too dangerous. However, by order of the sect leader, it was necessary to find a strong person who would guard Liu Yan.
The only one suitable for this category, with her terrifying speed of growth, was Xu i. Moreover, if a friendship is ford between the two girls during this ti, then the Sect of Nine Pills will have a reliable ally.
"One... million?" Xu i's eyes flashed.
Although she was rich because she robbed... um... borrowed several hundred thousand spiritual stones from her fellow Daoists, it was about a million. As much as she didn't want to show it... But she was tempted!
"One million spiritual stones and five barrels of spiritual wine per month," Xu i nad the price with an indifferent voice, but with sparkling eyes.
"Ugh..."
Yan Zui could not help but feel how his heart was bleeding. Spiritual wine was expensive, and few could afford it. One such bottle, containing 1 liter of wine, cost 1000 Spiritual Stones.
And in one wine barrel, there were 40 liters! As a result, they will have to spend no less than three million spiritual stones per year!
"But... the sect leader insisted on this deal. Although it exceeds the budget by a hundred thousand, I think everything is in order..." thought Yan Zui and nodded.
It seed that this ordinary nod took all his available energy, and after that, he was dragged away by other cultivators. As a result, only Liu Yan remained, who smiled gently, keeping her eyes closed.
Xu i turned to Liu Yan with a satisfied smile and raised her eyebrow, pointing to her eyes:
"Why the fuck do you keep them closed? How are you going to see the path in front of you?"
"W-what the... ehh?" Liu Yan lost her speech from Xu i's vulgar words, but still answered the question: "My eyes are a little special, and it's hard for to keep them open for a long ti."
"What do you an?" Xu i was puzzled and raised her eyebrow, looking at Liu Yan's eyes, and asked: "Can you shoot lasers from your eyes?"
"What?"
"Apparently not. Strange. And what about this... can you see through clothes?"
"Um... n-no?"
"Then can you see the laws of the universe with it?"
"Not at all..."
Xu i fell silent, and Liu Yan looked at her in bewildernt. She could not understand what these strange ideas were in this girl's mind. Lasers from the eyes? See through clothes? Look at the laws of the universe.
And the next words of Xu i almost made the poor girl cough up blood:
"Then are they useless?"
"Gha-a..."
Liu Yan felt as if soone had hit her hard in the stomach, and countless red arrows pierced her body. Why did this girl have such a rotten mouth?
"M-my power is completely different, and it is useful!" Liu Yan exclaid angrily, twisting the corners of her mouth: "It's you who have strange ideas!"
"Hm-m-m?" Xu i narrowed her eyes and looked up and down Liu Yan, and then spoke with contempt: "Well, one way or another. I don't have ti to deal with you, follow ."
"Ugh..."
Liu Yan could not help but puff out her cheeks at such disrespect. By the way, she was older than her! And still, this girl didn't even care about observing etiquette.
"But, it must be admitted, it's easy to talk to her," thought Liu Yan and sighed: "Although her mouth is still so poisonous."
As it turned out, Xu i led her to the red pavilion. It was quite beautiful here, the air was clean, and from the height opened a beautiful view.
"Wow!"
Liu Yan could not help but sigh, noticing what beauties were here! The bright moonlight illuminated the mountain peak, while various animals ran around, living in harmony.
"This... this... is ideal!"
A sharp sense of tranquility made the girl relax and forget about her vigilance. Xu i, however, not paying attention to such a reaction, entered inside the pavilion and beckoned Liu Yan.
"Co on. Stop standing there, 'eye girl'. You need to fulfill part of the contract."
"L-alright, I'm coming!"
***
"Oh, is this your room? Here... um... why do you have a bed made of wine bottles?"
"Never mind."
Xu i dismissed Liu Yan's question, and then, thinking a little, waved her hand and bared her back.
"This..."
Liu Yan imdiately changed - her usual carefree girlish aura changed to a serious one. This was her peculiarity when she saw patients.
"Such a rich Immortal Qi... if not treated imdiately, it will be very dangerous for your cultivation," Liu Yan said, frowning: "Sit on the floor and get ready to help ."
"Okay."
Xu i nodded and sat down on the floor in the lotus position and relaxed her back. Liu Yan looked seriously at the wound.
It was a terrible wound. Even bones were visible. And most importantly, in these wounds was golden qi... Immortal Qi.
When a cultivator reached the level of Spiritual Ascension, he turned his qi into Immortal Qi, which was ten tis purer than ordinary qi, and there was no need to talk about its power.
Therefore, if you get such a wound, then with each second the chance of survival decreases. It was amazing that Xu i had held out for so long.
In the next second, without hesitation, Liu Yan took out the dicine and began to treat the wounds. Although it was incredibly difficult, thanks to the cooperation of Xu i, it took only a week.
"Hm... most of the wounds have been healed. How amazing," Xu i comnted and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Liu Yan... hm?"
Xu i was puzzled when she saw that Liu Yan was already sleeping peacefully. She smiled and shook her head.
