“???” The blue brocade bag embroidered with a beautiful floral pattern felt almost weightless on ng Qi’s hand. Out of habit, she poured a bit of aura to see the contents of the bag, and then—
“Su Junmo!” ng Qi gasped in shock. There were nine hundred profound-grade spirit stones in the bag! It was not a small amount of wealth by any standard. She had previously taken 2000 profound-grade spirit stones from the Xue clan and used a handful of them during the Grand Tournant, but there were still more than 1900 left.
Nine hundred profound-grade spirit stones — placed in any sect in Three Thousand Worlds, it was not a small number. The inhabitants of Three Thousand Worlds only used lower-grade spirit stones for their daily lives, and those of the ninth grade and above were scarcely seen outside special occasions such as Beyond The Heaven’s invitation-only auctions. Even a prestigious clan like the Xue Clan or a large sect like Fentian Palace wouldn’t treat profound-grade spirit stones lightly.
“Su Junmo.” ng Qi threw the bag back to him, “You shouldn’t do this.” She paused and explained, “You guys ca here to rescue , so your poisoning is basically my responsibility.”
“But…” Su Junmo frowned.
ng Qi waved her hand, “Even if you are not coming for , since we are venturing as a group into such a dangerous place as Starfallen Sea, it is just a given that we supported each other unconditionally. As a dical cultivator, it’s my role to treat whoever gets injured in our team.”
“…” Su Junmo’s hands holding the bag slowly lowered, but his grip tightened. He understood what ng Qi wanted to convey, but he ant it differently. This matter was no longer about spirit stones, alright!
Su Junmo raised his eyes and t ng Qi’s gaze. The blue-robed young girl was as calm as usual. Her bright eyes were scanning her surrounding attentively, maintaining a state of high alertness. This was how ng Qi was; she always knew what she was doing and what she wanted — Su Junmo thought in a daze. He lowered his head again, staring into the brocade bag in his hands for a mont. Monts later, the corners of his lips suddenly raised. “ng Qi,” he strode towards her.
“Huh?” ng Qi turned in his direction.
“Since I’ve given it to you, you must accept!” Su Junmo forcefully shoved the bag toward her. For a brief mont, their hands made contact. ng Qi’s skin was smooth, her fingertips were slightly cool, and they seed to bring a faint dicinal fragrance — very soft and nice to touch…
Su Junmo’s heart suddenly jumped, and he hurriedly let go of ng Qi’s hand, as if it was a hot iron. “Take them, take them all!” He said, “I don’t lack spirit stones anyway.”
ng Qi: “…”
She felt offended!
Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo exchanged another glance and saw similar thoughts in each other’s eyes: Really another one?!
Even Su Junmo?!
Exactly how many people have been saved by ng Qi?!
“ng Qi.” Qin Xiumo suddenly opened his mouth, “Just accept it. Su Junmo isn’t so poor that he will go bankrupt paying you.”
“This guy’s right.” Chu Tianfeng quickly chid in, “Didn’t you use the precious fiery eagle’s blood on him? And that zilan lotus is not sothing re money can buy. Accept the paynt! You can use it to buy more dicinal materials.”
“ng Qi.” Xue Chengxuan smiled, “Just accept it.” After a slight pause, he said again, “The dical Society Alliance, including the twelve dical sects, preach that dical cultivators must not aim for money when providing dical service for others. However, we still have to accept a proper remuneration.”
“Yeah.” Li Che also nodded, “Our Canglang Academy also charges patients accordingly.”
For a while, ng Qi was conflicted. It was not that she refused to accept Su Junmo’s paynt, but the amount was simply too much. Others urged her to accept it, but they had no idea that this small brocade bag contained 900 profound-grade spirit stones.
In both of her lives, ng Qi embarked on the path of dical cultivation and honed her skills by giving dical treatnts to those in need. Most of the cases, she was used to receiving spirit stones or other rewards from her patients, but there were occasional exceptions, such as when she encountered soone seriously injured and was already unconscious.
For example, when she picked up Su Junmo in her previous life, this chatterbox fox was injured so badly that he couldn’t maintain his human form. She found him as a white fox, lying on the rotten leaves in the dark jungle, dying. At the ti, the only reason Su Junmo was still alive was his natural instinct as a demon cultivator to protect his heart and spiritual sea at any cost.
It was in such a condition ng Qi picked him up, and for the first ten days she started his treatnt, Su Junmo stayed in his white fox form, too weak to even open his eyes. Except for the still beating heart and his feeble breathing, he would have been mistaken for a corpse. When ng Qi finally dragged him back from the gate of the underworld, the barely rejuvenated Su fox quickly regained his non-stop chattering ability, starting the beginning of ng Qi’s tornt.
At that ti, the level of noise pollution was akin to having thousands of bees buzzing in her ears, day in and day out. Even when asleep, ng Qi was haunted by nightmares, dreaming of herself falling into a huge hive full of buzzing bees. Her only thought at the ti was to quickly cure this fox, then part ways and never see him again in this life!
So on the night that Su Junmo was cured, ng Qi imdiately packed her things and ran to another city hundreds of miles away in one go. Upon arriving, she found the largest and most luxurious inn with a hot spring to check in, and finally had a full night of peaceful sleep following a comfortable hot spring bath.
In her hurry, ng Qi totally forgot about getting a treatnt fee from Su Junmo, but it was nothing compared to the importance of getting rid of a certain chattery fox!
“ng Qiqi.” When ng Qi was imrsed in mories, Xue Chengxuan walked slowly to her side, “The dical Society Alliance has a certain rule, did you know?”
“Huh?” ng Qi raised her eyebrows.
