You call this a healer?

The inner city of the base.

In the luxurious "Heavenly Palace" clubhouse, in the private room on the top floor.

Liu Mingquan extended his hand, adorned with a white jade thumb ring, and steadily poured two cups of old-fashioned tea: "Top-grade pre-Qingming Longjing tea, treasured for over thirty years. Apart from the old city lord, the Su family has never let anyone else taste it!"

At this moment, she was wearing a clean, white casual outfit. When she wasn't angry, she was actually a very beautiful woman.

Born into the Liu family, one of the seven great Order families, and married into the Su family, another of the seven great families, she has a powerful background and a noble status.

It is an honor to have her serve tea personally.

Jin Wusheng hesitated for a moment: "What does Deputy Director Liu mean?"

Song Yuanfeng, the patriarch of a mid-level Order family and also Song Xiejun's father, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked hesitantly, "The tea is good. Deputy Director Liu, please speak frankly."

Liu Mingquan chuckled: "Zhou Ming has already arrived at the Yuan Refining Mine. Currently, the most powerful Order Keepers in the mine are only the people from your family and mine."

What I mean is…

She paused, then added, "The three families will make their move together tomorrow morning!"

Jin Wusheng frowned: "Deputy Director Liu, as you know, we just wanted to report the humiliation our child suffered at Black Wind Mountain! We never intended to actually kill him!"

Moreover, the State Council values ​​this young man's abilities highly and will not allow it!

Liu Mingquan sneered: "A mere youth, how much does the State Council value him? Besides, if we really get rid of him, will the State Council blame the three families for him? Is he more important, or are the three families more important?"

Song Yuanfeng thought for a moment: "So, what does Councilor Su Bingqian mean...?"

Liu Mingquan sneered, "Of course he wouldn't agree. No one can fathom his thoughts. His own son was turned into a woman by an illegitimate child, and he didn't even ask a single question."

Jin Wusheng said, "I still don't understand why you insist on..."

Liu Mingquan interrupted: "I invited thirteen veteran healers and alchemists to jointly diagnose my son. He can't turn back. He has lost his yang energy, his meridians, and he's gone mad."

There was no three years involved. Zhou Ming isn't a god; he can't change a person's gender back and forth. He's lying to us!

Song Yuanfeng's expression changed. Could it be that his son, Song Xiejun, couldn't be turned back?

After a long silence, Jin Wusheng and Song Yuanfeng nodded together.

……

Day two.

Thousand Feather Mountain, Yuan Refining Mine.

Mine No. 88.

"Creak..."

"Click-clack..."

Inside the sweltering cave, Ye Chen and his group manipulated specially made iron shovels, digging through the hard, yellowish-brown soil. The ground beneath their feet was piled high with waste ore, but little of it was useful.

Ten yuan, I reckon it'll take most of the day to dig.

At this moment, Zhong Xiu cautiously approached Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, and the others, and asked, "Zhou Ming and that Ling Shuang sneaked to the innermost part."

"They wouldn't be secretly dating inside, kissing or anything, would they?"

Ye Chen and his group were speechless: "They're engaged, and now they're boyfriend and girlfriend. Let alone kissing, what's it to you if they take things further?"

Zhong Xiu pouted, "Wow, Zhou Ming actually has a pretty sweet tongue!"

"Zhou Ming's words...are sweet?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise: "How did you know?"

Zhong Xiu was a little embarrassed: "During the monthly exam, I tried it while he was asleep during the day!"

Lin Ya: "?"

Ye Chen and the others were also shocked: "You...!"

……

The deepest part of the mine.

Zhou Ming and Ling Shuang crouched on the edge of the pitch-black "dark zone".

He clearly sensed the immense mineral energy within the mountain, as well as a vast amount of power that could be absorbed.

At that moment, he opened his right hand, and a purple stone turned into powder.

A line of numbers appears before your eyes:

[Skill Mana +0.6]

It refers to "skill power" alone.

"How was it?" Ling Shuang's eyes sparkled.

Zhou Ming nodded: "Not bad!"

Not only is it not bad, it's a direct absorption and advancement, simpler than drinking cold water.

"That piece was called the Heavenly Secret Stone." Ling Shuang handed over a yellow one and a white one. "Try these two too."

These two are Tianyuan Stone and Tianluo Stone. Together with Tianji Stone, they are the three stones with the most abundant vital energy in this mine.

They supply these stones to the city, using them to cultivate their vital energy, forge their physical bodies, and hone their martial arts skills!

"I'll give it a try!" Zhou Ming reached out and swallowed.

[Realm Value +0.2]

[Non-attribute Strength +0.2]

He couldn't help but take a deep breath. Although it wasn't as powerful as "devouring" a life form of the same realm as a divine being, there were plenty of minerals in the mountain, enough to satisfy his hunger.

This is going to be a big hit!

Ling Shuang chuckled, "My incense-wielding Taoist can use the power of incense to search for these ores in the mountains, making him ten times more productive than others. From now on, I'll take care of you!"

Zhou Ming subconsciously pinched her cheek: "I also have a way to locate these stones and have them support each other, but now, we need to do something!"

Ling Shuang's cheeks flushed slightly, and she immediately understood: "You mean, avoid Ye Chen and his group, switch to the Sinful Class, and take out Su Bushu and his gang?"

Zhou Ming nodded: "There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days straight, otherwise I won't feel at ease continuing my cultivation."

This dark area leads to the mine where Song Zhi, Su Bushu, and Jin Wuzhu are located.

It's practically the perfect killing ground for us; we can switch professions without fear of being exposed!

The dead are the best keepers of secrets! Let's wipe them all out today!

Ling Shuang's lips curled into a teasing smile: "You're so naughty, I love it!"

Zhou Ming whispered, "This morning, I had Ma Kun keep an eye on them. They entered mine shafts 37, 65, and 92 respectively. Let's go!"

As he spoke, his body trembled, and a layer of gray aura clung to his skin. His entire demeanor changed, and he resembled a primordial dragon capable of annihilating everything at any moment.

Ling Shuang stood up, her body covered by a white Taoist robe, her lips bluish-black, and she became even more radiant and beautiful, even possessing a bewitching beauty, but with an air of mystery and sharpness that sent chills down one's spine.

The two flashed into the "dark zone," one in black and one in white, like the Black and White Impermanence in hell who snatch souls!

A moment later, they entered the nearest mine shaft, number 92. Strangely, it was completely empty; there was no one there!

The two exchanged a glance, sensing that something was amiss.

Upon re-entering the "Dark Zone" and reaching the vicinity of Mine No. 65, a conversation suddenly came from inside:

"The reason we invited you here is quite simple: all three parties have simultaneously ordered the elimination of Zhou Ming, right?"

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"That's good. As you all saw, Zhang Xi'er and her five companions weren't weak, yet they were defeated by Zhou Ming and his group."

Not to boost their morale, but even our individual team wasn't entirely confident we could take down Zhou Ming.

Only three teams can work together! Quick and decisive action, eliminate them swiftly!

"They're in mine shaft 88 now!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ming and Ling Shuang outside felt a chill run down their spines. To be honest, if they let these people make the first move, even if they could survive, Ye Chen, Lin Ya, and the other seven would probably all perish!

These three teams each have fifteen people: three Level 4 Order Keepers and twelve Level 3 Peak Order Keepers.

Ling Shuang whispered, "Let's do it!"

The two of them slipped into the mine!

The room was brightly lit, and fifteen young men and women of various appearances were about to leave when they were suddenly seen entering. They all paused in surprise: "Who?"

When they recognized Zhou Ming and Ling Shuang...

Jin Wuzhu, with his short hair and tall stature, spoke in a cold and murderous voice: "Make your move!"

As he spoke, the aura of the level four wood-type "mage" rose to its peak, and he flashed to the left side of the mine.

Su Bushu was a man with feminine features and was very beautiful. At this moment, he suddenly took out a clown mask and put it on his face, as if he had suddenly become a different person. The eyes under the mask were like those of a venomous snake.

Song Zhi was a thin, bony woman in her thirties. She darted to the right side of the mine and softly murmured some kind of incantation. Three hazy, three-headed demonic tigers appeared beside her.

The remaining twelve each wielded their respective professional powers, some with sharp weapons, some with raging fire and water, and some by disappearing into walls...

Then, the group realized something was wrong; Zhou Ming and Ling Shuang's auras were off.

The healer Zhou Ming was emanating "black energy" and carrying a halberd.

Sword cultivator Ling Shuang is wearing a Taoist robe?

"You...you are the hidden evil Order? You..."

Jin Wuzhu and the other two's expressions changed completely, and they retreated step by step.

The next moment, Zhou Ming used the [Owl Nightmare Blood Transformation Technique], transforming into a cloud of black smoke and rampaging wildly.

Ling Shuang's figure swayed, and one became seven, with all seven figures possessing identical strength.

Soon, the mine was filled with screams, terror, and crimson blood.

……

The inner city of the base.

It was the same "Heavenly Palace" club, and the same private room on the top floor.

Liu Mingquan, Jin Wusheng, and Song Yuanfeng waited silently.

As expected, the message should be able to get back.

A three-person team that crawled out of a pile of corpses took down a healer named Zhou Ming. Even though his "scalpel" was extremely sharp, there was no reason for them to survive!

Just then, the door opened, and a young man rushed in, looking utterly distraught: "Madam, Master Jin, Patriarch Song, Jin Wuzhu and the others are dead!"

Liu Mingquan and the other two stared intently at the young man: "Say that again!"

The young man took a deep breath: "The team of fifteen men led by Jin Wuzhu, Su Bushu, and Song Zhi all perished in the mine. According to the Jingwu Division's estimation, they were wiped out within three minutes!"

Liu Mingquan suddenly stood up and roared angrily: "How is this possible? Three level four Orderers and twelve level three peak members were killed in three minutes. Was it done by an Orderer of level five or above?"

Are Shi Jie and Fan Zeng just sitting around doing nothing?
