Chapter 5305 I have wronged you
As the two were chatting, Hu Mazi staggered over with his head wrapped in bandages like a dumpling, his face filled with joy: “David! I’m fine! That old man’s holy light bullet only looks scary, it’s not as powerful as your Dragon Slaying Sword!”
“Be careful with the wound.”
David shook his head helplessly. This man always forgot the pain after his scars healed.
Hu Mazi waved his hand indifferently and took out a black earthenware jar from his arms: “See what I brought you? This is an ointment made from the inner elixir of the purple crystal toad in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. This ointment is specially used to treat various external injuries. Apply it and I guarantee you will be able to lift a sword and kill people tomorrow!”
Looking at the green paste bubbling in the pottery jar, David’s eyes twitched: “Are you sure this isn’t poison?”
“Hey, don’t believe me?”
Hu Mazi was anxious. He picked up a piece of gravel and smeared the ointment on it. The stone immediately emitted green smoke. “Look, even stones can corrode. That stone is very effective at cleaning wounds!”
David: “…”
Just then, Li Chunfeng’s voice came from outside the courtyard: “Master Chen, the healing cannot be rushed.”
He walked slowly while holding a jade box, “This is the ‘Concentrated Jade Marrow’ from the Sacred Sword City. It is very beneficial for repairing meridians.”
As the jade box was opened, a refreshing aroma spread out. The semi-liquid milky white liquid inside the box swirled slowly, and faint traces of spiritual energy could be seen condensing into a mist.
David’s pupils constricted slightly. A treasure like this wouldn’t even be found in the entire Fifth Heaven.
“I dare not accept such a precious gift,” said David, standing up and refusing.
However, Li Chunfeng thrust the jade box into his hand. “Master Chen is very kind to me. Some ordinary gifts are useless.”
“For me.” He paused, his tone turning serious. “It looks like the Divine Sword Villa is ready to make a move. Master Chen should recover as quickly as possible. If there’s any movement, just shout my name in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion.”
After that, he turned into a streak of white light and disappeared into the darkness of the night, leaving only a faint voice echoing in the courtyard: “Rest assured, the Sacred Sword City is safe for now.”
Watching the chalcedony slowly flowing from the jade box, David felt a variety of emotions.
For the next three days, the Sword Sect headquarters remained as peaceful as usual.
David immersed himself in healing every day. The chalcedony truly lived up to its reputation. The damaged meridians were recovering at a visible rate. The Dragon Essence and Sha Qi, tempered by Li Chunfeng’s sword energy, gradually reached a delicate balance.
Mo Chen and Hu Mazi recovered more slowly. Mo Chen’s internal organs, burned by the holy light, needed to be slowly healed, while Hu Mazi, suffering from the side effects of forcibly activating the talisman, was currently wailing near the medicine jar.
Ling Xue and the other Sword Sect disciples took responsibility for keeping watch. Recently, a group of cultivators had been constantly wandering outside the campsite, their expressions unfriendly.
“Senior Brother Chen, there are some unfamiliar faces lurking around the door again today.”
Ling Xue entered the room carrying a bowl of herbal medicine, a worried expression on her beautiful face. “I heard from my disciples that rumors are circulating that our Sword Sect has offended the Divine Sword Villa and will sooner or later be expelled from Sacred Sword City.”
David took the medicine and downed it in one gulp, the bitter taste spreading across his tongue. “Their mouths are in their bodies, let them say whatever they want.”
He put the bowl down and looked at the bruise on Ling Xue’s wrist, which hadn’t faded yet. Curious, he asked, “How did this happen?”
Ling Xue held her wrist and shook her head. “The Sword Sect has been constantly under attack lately. Master and Senior Brother Chen were injured, so I had to intervene!”
“I’m sorry I put you in such a difficult position.” David reached out and gently stroked the wound. His spiritual energy flowed through it, the bruise fading quickly.
Ling Xue’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she shook her head slowly. “I don’t feel guilty being by your side.”
These days of sharing life and death had left him with a deep affection for this seemingly ordinary young man.
Just as the two of them were smiling at each other, the sound of arguing suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
