Yunxiao City was indeed bustling and lively.
The huge flying ship cut through the clouds, and after soaring over the continuous mountains, one could see from the front of the deck the vast horizon ahead, with streets and buildings stretching endlessly to the edge of the sky.
Those wide streets crisscrossed like distinct lines on a chessboard, neatly dividing the houses and buildings.
Such a grand city was the first of its kind that Li Muyang had seen in this world.
His hotown of Jiuyuan City was a small rural city with low and dilapidated walls, where one could overlook the entire city from atop the city gate tower.
In contrast, the grandeur and scale of this towering city on the ground were no less than those of the big cities from his previous life.
Even from a certain perspective of wonder, this ancient city was without skyscrapers, yet it housed a million people. The main roads up to one or two hundred ters wide seed even more spectacular than the skyscrapers of his previous life.
Lights of various colors streaked across the sky from ti to ti, dazzling against the sunset and evening clouds.
After the flying ship landed at the dock, Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun went straight into the city.
They had a clear goal and headed directly for the dicinal herb shops in the city.
With Guan Xiaoshun leading the way, Li Muyang compared two different herb shops and eventually spent all his silver.
A hundred-year-old ginseng, two eighty-year-old vermilion fruits, and two jade lingzhi mushrooms… These were the spiritual dicines Li Muyang bought with all his money.
He and Guan Xiaoshun hurriedly left the city, making it back to the sect before the flying ship dock closed.
After saying goodbye to Guan Xiaoshun at the crossroads, Li Muyang carried the spiritual dicines toward the house halfway up the mountain.
When he got ho, his adoptive sister Li Yuechan had already woken up.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp, the girl lay weakly on the hard wooden bed, chatting with Ning Wan’er.
Seeing Li Muyang return with boxes of spiritual dicines, the girl said sowhat embarrassedly, “I’m sorry, brother, for holding you back…”
The first thing the girl said upon seeing him was to apologize to Li Muyang.
After all, Li Muyang had gone to Yunxiao City to buy spiritual dicines specifically to save her, which must have been expensive.
And the money spent was all Li Muyang’s personal property.
Li Muyang glanced at his sister and said, “It’s fine as long as you’re alive.”
With that, he took out the dicinal cauldron given by Doctor Lin and began to refine the spiritual dicines on the spot.
Under the catalysis of spiritual power, the small dicinal cauldron emitted intense heat.
The ginseng, vermilion fruit, and jade lingzhi… Li Muyang refined these three spiritual dicines one by one into the cauldron, eventually producing a bowl of dicinal liquid that emitted a wonderful fragrance.
This bowl of dicinal liquid was worth twenty taels of gold.
Li Muyang handed the bowl to Li Yuechan and said, “This is all the money I have. Take it and see how effective it is.”
Li Muyang was very direct in his speech.
There was a black line on the girl’s wrist, and Doctor Lin said that the line would completely disappear if the demonic energy was removed.
Li Yuechan obediently took the dicinal liquid from her brother and drank it all.
Due to the refinent of the spiritual dicines, a wonderful fragrance lingered in the air.
Just slling it made one feel light and refreshed.
The black line on her wrist disappeared by less than a quarter after Li Yuechan drank all the dicinal liquid in the bowl.
Clearly, the spiritual dicine worth twenty taels of gold was far from enough to cure the girl.
Seeing this, Ning Wan’er was sowhat disappointed.
“It’s not enough…”
Li Muyang, however, remained calm, “No problem, my family also sent so spiritual dicines over, and they should arrive in the next few days.”
“Yuechan also must have brought money from ho when she ca to the Demon Refining Sect. I’ll take that money to the city tomorrow to buy more spiritual dicines. Maybe they will be enough.”
After saying this, Li Muyang thanked Ning Wan’er.
“Thank you very much for today, Miss Ning.”
Li Muyang sincerely expressed his gratitude and then escorted Ning Wan’er away.
The night was late, and it was ti for Ning Wan’er to leave.
As she walked out of the house and far away, Ning Wan’er couldn’t help but look back at the lonely house standing in the night.
Looking at the small house on the mountainside, the girl blinked, “The young master of the Li family has really changed a lot…”
Not only was his gaze at her no longer fervent, but his way of interacting with people and his behavior had also beco much more composed and calm, almost like a completely different person from the Li Muyang of before.
When faced with great changes, ordinary people are often anxious and complain.
However, Li Muyang had been almost coldly calm throughout the day.
From his sister getting hurt to the lack of improvent after taking the dicinal liquid, Ning Wan’er had hardly seen any change in Li Muyang’s emotions throughout the day, as if he were an outsider.
If he hadn’t unhesitatingly spent all his savings to buy spiritual dicine for his sister, Ning Wan’er would almost suspect that the son of the Li family didn’t care about his sister’s life or death.
Even though Li Muyang spent all his silver to treat his sister, it still seed far from enough.
Given the current situation, the second young miss of the Li family was likely to be disfigured or even lose an arm.
What a pity for such a beautiful face…
Walking on the mountain path under the night sky, a gust of night wind blew, and Ning Wan’er suddenly felt a chill and couldn’t help but rub her arms.
The girl looked up at the lights at the summit of the distant mountains, where the Inner Sect of the Demon Refining Sect was located, the true Demon Refining Sect.
That was the Demon Refining Sect in people’s eyes.
The scattered settlents of the Outer Sect were seen by the world as places for servants to do nial work.
She must not stay here for a lifeti. She must enter the Inner Sect or even higher!
Ning Wan’er’s eyes beca incredibly determined at this mont.
Today, it was Li Yuechan who was unfortunate, but what if it were her next ti?
She refused to be a Li Yuechan who could be hard at will.
If she had to choose, she would rather be a Qin Haie who hard others!
Under the night sky, Ning Wan’er descended the mountain bathed in the faint moonlight.
……
Inside the small tile-roofed house with its door shut, Li Yuechan lay on the hard wooden bed, quietly curling up.
In the afternoon, when Doctor Lin treated her wounds, she had torn off all her skirts.
Now, beneath the blanket, her body was bare.
It was fine when Ning Wan’er was still there, she didn’t feel there was any problem. But now that Miss Ning had left, only she and her brother remained in the small house.
Li Yuechan secretly clutched the blanket tighter.
This flimsy cover seed so fragile, clearly incapable of protecting her.
She glanced nervously at Li Muyang beside her and whispered,
“Brother… you don’t have anywhere to sleep tonight since I’ve taken your bed.”
The small wooden bed was filled with a faint sll of blood and Li Muyang’s scent.
It was the girl’s first ti lying on a man’s bed, surrounded by his presence, as if she were tightly ensnared by him.
Curled up under the blanket, Li Yuechan nervously gripped it, fearing that it might leak at any second.
