Chapter 10 Uses of Medicine Humans

"Everyone in the villa says that the Third Miss has never left the villa because of her poor health; she came to us herself."

As Zhu Yingrong spoke, she secretly glanced at Liu Shiyuan and continued, "I've seen him a few times these past few days. Even if he has problems here, he wouldn't need to beg for food at another courtyard, would he? Li Qing's cultivation is even higher than mine!"

Liu Shiyuan was startled: "Really?"

"Is there any doubt about that? I was right next to him and I couldn't sense his cultivation level. He must be much stronger than me."

What virtue or ability does Liu Sijun possess to have someone protecting him?

It's because of this idiot that that good-for-nothing dares to be so arrogant and domineering towards her.

This morning, someone came to tell her that they would send four more people over to tidy up her yard so she could plant spirit herbs.

With her mere Qi Gathering Level 3 cultivation, she still dares to try and plant spiritual herbs.

That's really wishful thinking.

He wouldn't let her have a chance to gain a foothold in the Liu family.

Liu Shiyuan wasn't sleepy, but he didn't say anything more. Zhu Yingrong wasn't sure what he was thinking at that moment.

“Yuan Lang…”

Zhu Yingrong's voluptuous body leaned against Liu Shiyuan. Unfortunately, he was powerless to resist and could only indulge his desires.

He shifted the focus, saying, "Since Rong'er thinks Li Qing has a problem, then I'll go to Qingqiu Courtyard to take a look when I have time."

Anyway, I should ask about what happened back then, so that I can give my mother an explanation.

Zhu Yingrong actually didn't want the father and daughter to have too much contact.

Liu Sijun's return this time gave her a strange feeling.

Nothing has gone smoothly these past few days.

"Yuan Lang, there are only two spots available for the training in the Frozen Domain next month. What are your thoughts?"

Liu Shiyuan was completely wide awake, and since it was daytime, he got up to get dressed. Zhu Yingrong immediately got up to serve him.

"This qualification for training is hard-won, so I must discuss it thoroughly with my mother, my second brother, and my third brother."

After getting dressed, Liu Shiyuan patted Zhu Yingrong's hand affectionately: "But don't worry, no matter how we discuss it, our Qin'er will definitely be the first one."

Receiving a satisfactory reply, Zhu Yingrong's smile became even sweeter.

But in her heart, she was thinking that the other spot must not be given to Liu Sijun.

She didn't know why such a thought popped into her head. Clearly, Liu Sijun's cultivation hadn't improved at all in the past four years, and he was still only at the third level of Qi Refining.

But she was still wary.

"I have an idea, would you like to hear it, Yuan Lang?"

"That's what you say."

Zhu Yingrong said, "To avoid any unforeseen complications, I think it's better to tell the Old Madam about this later, when we're about to depart, so there won't be any changes."

Liu Shiyuan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"You're so thoughtful."

On the other side, Liu Sijun and Li Qing, along with Alchemist Lu, had already arrived outside the barrier in the suburban forest outside the city.

"It's a barrier set up by a cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm. Not only that, it's also mixed with a layer of formation," said Master Lu. "Luckily, you weren't reckless, or you really wouldn't have made it back."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and made a hand seal. Suddenly, a dark blue talisman appeared between his right index and middle fingers. The talisman flew to the barrier and created a hole that a person could pass through.

He looked at Liu Sijun smugly: "Look at you, you still have a lot to learn."

Liu Sijun was speechless.

How did she end up with such a master?

Logically speaking, after experiencing being falsely accused, having nowhere to go, and being homeless, he shouldn't have such a "carefree" personality.

But that's exactly it!

Liu Sijun transmitted his voice: "Master, you also said that it was a barrier set up by a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. There might be quite a few other cultivators here. Can you be a little more vigilant?" "I know, I know."

Master Lu Dan finally stopped joking and put invisibility talismans on the two of them: "You two will follow me."

Passing through the cave, the environment inside suddenly changed, and the sky darkened. The spiritual energy was thin and highly mixed, and one could hear various different wails if listening closely.

The three proceeded cautiously forward, where several tall red shady trees blocked out the limited sunlight.

No wonder it's so dark.

After passing through this patch of crimson wood, a cave appears ahead, with two Foundation Establishment stage guards standing at the entrance.

With a concealment talisman, the three bypassed the guards and headed into the cave.

The cave walls were polished very smooth, clearly indicating their age. Every ten feet or so along the sides, there was a lamp base carved from a skull. Even though the cave was brightly lit, it couldn't ward off the chilling atmosphere.

"what……"

A piercing scream suddenly came from not far ahead. At the same moment, Liu Sijun and the other two felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Based on the pulsating spiritual energy, Master Lu deduced that this person had a golden spiritual root and was probably at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Just as he was about to follow the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations to investigate, several voices came from the cave entrance, accompanied by panting and coughing.

Master Lu's expression darkened slightly as he transmitted a message to Liu Sijun: "There is a cultivator among them who is at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Be careful!"

That person's cultivation level was comparable to his.

He wasn't afraid, but he was worried that his two disciples would be exposed.

"Lord Liyang, the medicine man is ready. When may we make our move?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to cough violently.

Immediately afterwards, another male voice rang out: "Don't worry, sir, everything is ready and we can get started at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others came into the three people's line of sight.

There were five people in total. The person coughing and wheezing was wearing a dark brocade robe with exquisite embroidery. The wide sleeves draped lightly, revealing a hint of nobility.

To conceal their identity, they wore a mask with a half-bird pattern on their face, covering their eyebrows, eyes, and nose.

His exposed lips were pale and bloodless, and the little bit of skin showing on his chin indicated that he was very old.

The man beside her was dressed in a deep purple robe, but his face was completely obscured.

However, based on his position and conversation, it can be determined that he is Daojun of Liyang.

Two mid-stage Golden Core guards followed behind, and between them, a young man with a terrified expression was held captive, unable to move.

Liu Sijun transmitted her voice to Master Lu: "Master, it seems that there are not only women but also men among the medicine people."

Master Lu Dan's face was ashen.

"I roughly know what they're up to."

Liu Sijun had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but without seeing it with her own eyes, she still couldn't believe it could be so cruel.

The group of people walked past them and continued on their way.

The three of them followed carefully behind.

Soon the area ahead opened up into a spacious area, complete with steaming hot springs. The mist created an ethereal atmosphere, but when Liu Sijun's gaze fell upon the scene not far away, an unprecedented surge of anger shot through him.

She was already somewhat prepared when her master explained the term "medicine person".

I saw with my own eyes four or five women who had been skinned and had their organs removed, lying bloodied in cages like pigs and dogs, struggling to survive, but unable to make a sound.

The impact was indescribable.

Those powerful and wealthy people, in order to obtain new bodies, spend huge sums of money to find women suitable to be used as medicine.

After successful cultivation, they are secretly sent here to complete the skin-changing procedure.

The "medicine person" is used for this purpose.
