She nodded silently, then cleaned the dried blood and grime around Jiang Yubai's wound, sprinkled Yunnan Baiyao on it, and tore off a piece of cloth from the dead body to bandage it.

During this time, Jiang Yubai was in so much pain that cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he clenched his teeth, but he didn't utter another sound.

After doing all that, Mo Chenchen helped the person lean against a tree.

His gaze swept over the other corpses on the ground, then looked at the dying Jiang Yubai, and asked, "Were these your companions? Or were they the ones who were chasing you?"

Jiang Yubai closed his eyes, hoping to recover some spiritual power on his own so that he could open his storage bag and take out two Spirit Recovery Pills as soon as possible.

This little girl is really poor. Apart from a bottle of ordinary hemostatic medicine, she has nothing else. No wonder she had to rummage through corpses.

Hearing this, his eyelashes trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "The ones chasing... me..." were also members of his family, because the ones chasing him were the rats in his house.

Mo Chenchen pursed her lips. She could guess what was going on without the other person saying it. There was always a lot of trouble in big families, just like the Mo family.

She didn't ask any more questions, but instead said, "It's not safe here. Can you move? We must leave as soon as possible and find a secluded place for you to heal."

Jiang Yubai tried to move, and immediately groaned in pain, veins bulging on his forehead. "...Temporarily...unable to walk..."

Mo Chenchen frowned. Dragging a heavily injured person around Qingwu Mountain was like being a sitting duck. Even the outer perimeter was beyond what she, a third-stage weapon refiner, could handle.

Money is hard to earn and life is tough, but I still have to earn this worthless scumbag's money.

Finally, Mo Chenchen managed to find a cave nearby and painstakingly got the man inside.

Don't ask. The answer is that Jiang Yubai doesn't want to think about it again. He can't think about it, he can't think about it. Just thinking about it makes his throat feel sweet.

Mo Chenchen guarded the cave entrance all night, constantly extending her spiritual senses to be on alert for any potential danger, ready to run at the slightest sign of trouble...

Jiang Yubai was immersed in healing, and by the middle of the night, some color had finally returned to his pale face, and his breathing became much more steady and powerful.

Unfortunately, without the aid of elixirs, all efforts were in vain. The spiritual energy was sealed by the poisonous gas, showing no signs of recovery.

As dawn broke, a cool mist filled the forest.

Jiang Yubai slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and opened his eyes.

Although still weak, her eyes were much clearer than yesterday.

"Awake?" Mo's deep voice came from the cave entrance, carrying the faint weariness of not having slept all night. He sighed again, "It's not easy to be a good-for-nothing."

"How are you feeling? Can you walk? We have to get out of here as soon as possible."

Jiang Yubai tried moving his hands and feet, and then his stomach rumbled.

Jiang Yubai blushed instantly, looking somewhat embarrassed. He had been at the Foundation Establishment stage for many years, and usually only ate some spiritual fruits or fasting pills.

"Short distance...moving...is possible. But...speed...can't be fast." He spoke the truth, while also changing the subject.

Mo Chenchen paused for a moment; it seemed this man had been hungry yesterday, but she had forgotten.

He turned around and went out, took out a small pet from his spatial storage, lit a fire to roast it, and even smeared it with honey. It took him half an hour to return to the cave, during which time he ate his breakfast.

The little bird wrapped in leaves? A chicken? It's a bird bigger than a chicken, the smallest bird in this forest.

He then picked two more fruits from the woods and tossed them to the other person.

"Eat something first, I'll think of something."

About half an hour later, Mo Chenchen dragged over a simple support frame, which was made of vines.

It's simple, but it's sturdy.

She also thoughtfully laid out some dry grass and leaves.

He threw it on the ground with a less-than-pleasant attitude and said, "Get on." His tone was hardly elegant either.

Jiang Yubai looked at the excessively rough bracket on the ground, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

How could Jiang Yubai, the young master of the Jiang family, the largest family in Yunzhou, have fallen so low as to be subjected to such torture instruments?

But circumstances are beyond his control, so what could he do but go for it?

He silently shifted his body, and then, *poof*, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Yubai: "......"

Mo Chenchen: "......"

The world suddenly became very quiet.

In the end, it was Mo Chenchen who got the person upstairs. Inevitably, the person vomited blood twice more during the process, but fortunately, the person was still alive.

Jiang Yubai suddenly realized that the other party still hadn't given up on him.

Why does it feel like death is acceptable, but living is also fine?

Mo Chenchen wrapped the vines that had been specially left on the support around her shoulders, and then used her spiritual power to pull the man out of Qingwu Mountain.

Fortunately, she had accumulated a lot of spiritual power in her previous life. Apart from giving one-tenth to the original owner, she still had a lot left.

Based on the conversion of one merit point to one point of spiritual power, she currently has 3000 points of spiritual power stored, while the normal dantian spiritual power storage during the Qi Refining stage is 5 points.

The reason she possessed so much spiritual power was because of her significant contributions to that world later on.

If it's the same performance in the early stages, it would be good if the spiritual power didn't decrease until the end.

To stand by and watch someone die without offering help... where is there even a trace of kindness in that?

Even with ample spiritual energy, she stumbled along, mentally complaining countless times about how hard it was to earn money and how miserable it was to live. Where were the three thousand high-grade spirit stones?

As long as you don't kill them, keep pushing them to the limit.

Jiang Yubai, who was lying in the back, was also in bad shape. His wound was aching from the jolting. Although he gritted his teeth and endured it, he would still spit out blood from time to time, but he did not make a sound.

He knew it was difficult for the girl to drag him along, and he didn't want to cause her any more trouble, but he couldn't help feeling a bit conflicted.

And so, they walked and stopped, resting when they got tired, and it took them most of the day to finally get out.

Seeing that he had finally emerged from the mountains, Mo Chenchen's spirits lifted somewhat.

After walking along the path for about an hour, we finally saw the town.

This town is small, nothing compared to Yunmeng City where Mo Chenchen left; it doesn't even have city gates.

There is only a large stone at the entrance with the words "Luoxia Town" written on it.

Mo Chenchen didn't pull the person inside directly; that would be too conspicuous. She wanted to investigate first.

He pulled the person to one side and hid them in a lush area, covering them with grass as he instructed, "I'll go in and take a look. Let's find a place to stay first. You can't stay at an inn; just wait here quietly."

Jiang Yubai nodded speechlessly. He did want to be dishonest, but unfortunately he was disabled and penniless, so of course he would be obedient.

My steps were much lighter as I turned to leave; after all, it's easy to be free of burdens.

Jiang... a burden, was still lying obediently in the haystack, waiting for someone to return.

Mo Chenchen first found a slightly secluded place, changed into a set of clothes that the original owner had washed until they were faded, and then entered the city.

Luoxia Town is indeed not very big, but fortunately the streets are relatively clean, so it doesn't bother people too much.

Mo Chenchen inquired along the way and soon found a place in town similar to a brokerage firm.

I approached the owner and explained that I was staying there temporarily and wanted to rent a small, secluded courtyard to live in for a while.

The boss was a lean, middle-aged man who, despite Mo Chenchen's young age, did not underestimate her.

After all, it's normal for children from cultivation families to go out and gain experience at such a young age; there's no need to make useless enemies.

"Yes, yes, yes! At the west end of town, near the foot of the mountain, there's a secluded courtyard. The original owner was an old herb gatherer who moved to the big city with his son a couple of years ago. The courtyard has been empty ever since, and it's very quiet! The house is a bit old, but it has everything you need. Young lady, look..."

Mo Chenchen followed the broker to see the courtyard.

Indeed, as he said, the location is remote, some distance from the town center, and there are few residents around.

The courtyard was small, with three main rooms, a small kitchen, and a small patio. There were also some weeds growing in the yard that no one took care of.

The house is a wood and stone structure, and although it's quite old, it's still sturdy and can provide shelter from the wind and rain without any problems.

"This is it. I'll rent it for three months. How many spirit stones?" Mo Chenchen was very straightforward. It was just a place to stay anyway, and she wouldn't be staying for long.

"Three months... um, six low-grade spirit stones, how about that?" The broker tentatively offered a price.

In Luoxia Town, the rent isn't cheap, but considering the detached house and secluded location, it's reasonable.

Mo Chenchen simply counted out five low-grade spirit stones from her pocket and tossed them over: "Five stones."

Ya Zi caught it, his smile undiminished by the missing piece. He took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Mo Chenchen before leaving with the spirit stones.
